Der Bridge Entertains in
Unique and Enjoyable Fashion.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The Westminster League of !
the Presbyterian church held it's
regular monthly social meeting
at the home of Mr.. N, Shaw. A
very unique and enjoyable pro-
gramme was carried out.
1t was a Halloween affair, as
you soon found out, for you were
received by a ghost whose clammy
hand sent cold chills down your
spine, while another ghost pelt-
ed you with confetti and told
you in weird tones to go be-
yond the curtain to remove your
wraps. You fastened forward
to get away from the uncanny
scenes; for Jack-o-'lanterns
grinned at you from every cor
ner and the voices of your
friends were beyond the cur
tain. But when you attempted
to pass the curtain, you found a
wet sheet in your way and saw
the laughing faces of those who
had been there" before you.
/ Bobbing for apples and the
usual Halloween games were
played. Then each young man
received a booklet and on the
first page found the name of a
young lady and was told in
rhymes to take her and search
for the Spring of Eternal
Youth such searching, up
and down stairs and everywhere!
3 At last the spring was found,
t presided over by beautiful
t little fairy and a quaint little
e dwarf who dispensed cheer to
=. each one in a cup of fruit punch.

this long time popularity and that Is TO
be found In It's superior merits. When
once given a fair trial for weak stomach,
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
riOr curative qualities are soon manifest;
hence 1t has Survived and grown in pop
ular favor, while scores OF less meritorious
articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with its attendant
Indigestion, dyspepsia. headache, per-
haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated

with distress after eating, nervousness

QUART PARTIES" IN VOGUE.

QUART PARTIES" IN VOGUE.
The rigid enforcement of the Georgia
prohibition law has resulted in the iu-
vention of the "quaIt party" which is
in the nature OF a Dutch treat, with a
few variations. Each guest ia expected
to bring With him quart of something
intoxicating aud when all have arrived
the offerings are placed on the tables and
are common property. The topic of
conversation ia generally the 'fDiquity
OF the prohibition law" and frank dis
cussion as to the quickest method Of re-
filing empty bottles.
The fear of druggists that the law may
put them out of business along with the
saloons WAS added to last Friday. Legal
officials of Atlanta recently ruled that
listeriue rosewater and other toilet sr-
ticles containing sufficient alcohol to in
toxicate could no, be sold by druggists
under the prohibition law without the
purchaser first securing prescription
from physicisn for the article. Four
local druggists were hailed into court on
this charge and an exposition of the pro-
bibition law made with the Gnal result
that Recorder Broyles instructed that
the case be dismissed, with warning Ia
the druggists to refrain from selling such
articles in iuture without prescriptions.

BIRTH ON A TRAIN.

The siork made an unreasonable visit
in the vicinity of Butler, Pa, Thursday
night. While passenger train on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was plow-
ing through the snow it suddenly stuck
fast, and for Is hours was unable TO
move a wheel. Early Friday morning
the stork, which had been lowering over
The car, brought baby girl to Mrs.
Mary Debeur, Of Frost, Pa, who was
one of the snow-bound passengers.
There WAS an awful commotion. Only
one other woman was on the train, and
she declared that Mrs. Debeur must be
taken TO a physician Immediately. The
men acted promply. They tore out a
couple of seats from Car and built 8
sled. Then the woman and baby were
placed on cushions, the bell-cord was
pulled off aud made into harness, and
half dozen men dragged the sled to
the nearest farmhouse, three miles swsy.
A doctor who lived near was summoned,
and Mrs. Debeur and the baby made as
comfortable as possible

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.

"Those interested are taking the
ground that the manufacture and dis
tribution of alcoholic beverages is wrong
per Sc. If this be true, then there il
no question that the Almighty wal
wrong in commencing the use of wine ID
speaking to his chosen people, and
Christ was wrong In making wine az the
feast of Gslilee and He was wrong 10
selecting wine and bread to commemorate
his death"
The foregoing is part Of letter sent
yesterday from Louisville, KY, to
preachers throughout the country by
the National Model License League,
through its president, T. M. Gilmore.
The letter explains that the object Of the
league is to have a uniform restrictive
saloon license adopted by the states
where prohibition is not in force. The
letter continues:
"Ncw, If those interested In the effort
to establish prohibition prove to the
satisfaction of the American people that
Christ did that which was wrong, that
Christ committed a sin, and that Christ
set bad example to future generations,
then we fear that they will have sue

are concerned) in destroyed the very
foundation of the Christian faith.
"The prohibitory laws ihat are being
passed In this country merely prohibit
the manufacture and sale, and do not
prohibit the purchase and use of slco-
holic liquors, and all thinking men know
that where a demand exists ii will be
supplied from some source if the profit
justi6es the risk 10 supplying it. Wit

to it, we will favor having an amend

heavy penalty for the purchase Of slco-
holic beverages or for having them in

this would mean prohibition.

CANCELLED
 LICENSE Business of Guarantee Life Stopped. COMMISSIONER JULIAN ACTS Alleged That Texas Company Has Violated State Laws. For Issuing especial" Contracts of Life Insurance, Company is Directed to Cease Business in Ala
 bama.

Hon. Frank N Julian. Insurance Commissioner of Alabama. yesterosy Icancelied the license of the Guarantee Life Insurance Company. of Hous.on' Texas. and all its agents doing ousi- | ness in this State, because of alleged violations of the law prohibiting dts- Icrfminations and rebates.
 The officers and agents Of the com pany have been notified to this eftect. The company or agents VIII De prose cuted for doing any further business Tn | Alabama.
 It is not improbable that litigation may follow this step of the Alabama Department, Commissioner Julian said yesterday that such turn in the reia- | tions with the Guarantees Life may re. | suit from his action. It Is rumored that the company will seek a manda- mus to compel the renewal of the license, alleging that their conduct In
 Alabama has not been such as to con
 stitute a violation within the meaning
 of Sections 4579 and 71s8 of the new Code of Alabama.
 | The offense alleged to have been
 committed by the company and It's agents was that of selling what Is
 known as advisory board" or ''speciai'
 contracts in connection with the or-
 dInary policies of insurance The agents of the company as we'll as its  [ by the Alabama Department that they
 would not be allowed to continue busi-
 ness if they persisted in writing such contracts.
 The first license to the Guarantee
 Life was issued in the latter part of
 December. 1907. and 1t was renewed
 in February of this year. Commission
 CT Julian gave 1t as his belief yester-
 day that the Guarantee Life is the only company that has practiced writing special" contracts in this state since
 March 1. 1907. It was whispered about that this company was carrying on
 such business and the Department is-
 sued its warning on these reports. The reports grew more persistent and the
 department set to work to find evi-
 dence that the contracts had been is-
 was positively discovered, according to
 Deputy Commissioner A. c. Sexton, and
 the result was that the license was can celled yesterday.
 June 2s. 1907. Attorney General Alex | M. Garber rendered to the Department
 of Insurance an opinion as to the Code
 sections applying to the special" con
 tracts He gave a qualified ruling to Commissioner Julian that Ion more
 than one ground it is evident that such
 contracts may conflict with the Intent
 and spirit of the section of the Code
 referred to and the public policy sought to be established by that section. The
 scheme has, moreover, many features
 of preference and inequality aside from
 the discriminatory nature"
 | The Attorney General also took the I position that such contracts issued by insurance companies in this state
 should not be approved until after the legality of the same has been sustained | In the courts"
