A ROUSING MEETING
knights Of Pythias Held Meeting
Wednesday Night.

The Knights of Pythias held a
rousing business meeting wednes-
day night at which ways and mean
OF building up the lodge and inter-
est in its work was discussed, and
a plan of action mapped out, which
it is hoped will result in a great in
crease in attendance at all meet
ings, and eventually in great good
for the work of the lodge.
Ii vas determined that one night
OF every month should be devoted
to an entertainment which is to be
varied each month, and from time
to time these entertainments are to
be open to the families, sweet
hearts and friends of the X. of P's.
These entertainments and social
evenings are TO be under the direc-
ton OF a standing committee COM
posed OF X. l.. Patterson, c. ]. X.
Moore and Harry II. McElroy.
One night of each month is to be
devoted to a school Of instruction
OF the Knights and it is to be one
of the most interesting features of
the lodge. Every Knight knows
the value Of this feature and the
pleasure and profit to be derived
therefrom.
The keeper Of Records and Seal
Of the lodge has been instructed to
publish a program of each weeks
meeting 20 that all Knights may
know what will he done.
Many interesting talks we're
made for the good of the order and
numerous suggestions made in re-
gard to plans tor personal work in
building up'the attendance of all
members. The attendance has
been large all along and it is hoped
to get everybody out.
The Knights of Pythias will this
week work in a school of instruc-
ton. This will be highly profta-
bic to all members and all are re-
quested to attend Wednesday
night.

PROPRIETORS SKIPP.


Under an excuse OF having a sick
wife in some nearby town Abraham
Smith, former proprietor of the
above named store left town very
quietly about FIVE weeks ago. Lit
tie or no attention was paid to his
departure as he left his brother,
Samuel Smith in charge Of the
store, but on Monday Samuel put
a notice on the door, CLOSED on
account of Sickness" and folded
his tent like an Arab, and quietly
stole way. He mailed a letter to
the First National Bank the even
ing before his departure enclosing
the store keys and a draft due by
his brother for $4oI, and stated
that he had the cash on hand to
pay same but that the stock on
hand amounted to about one thous-
and dollars.
The keys we're Immediately
turned over to the sheriff and an
investigation instituted which re-
suited in finding that nearly all the
shelf boxes were empty as the
goods had been removed prior to
to the leave-taking of the proprie-
tor. AS no books had been kept
it is impossible to furnish the ex-
act amount of his shortage, but
from the invoices obtainable it is
estimated that it was between
$500 and $4,000.
Abraham Smith came to Tucum-
carl some time ago and before
starting in business deposited
something I'VE $1,000 in the
banks and then proceeded to open
up a store. A short time before
leaving town he was making quite
a reduction in the the price OF
goods and also failed to make his
usual cash deposits in the bank,
and just before leaving the city he
drew out his cash in bank.
For the last few days the wires
have been kept warm by his cred
itors who are trying to collect past
due amounts, but up to the pres
ent time there is no clew obtaina-
bic as to his whereabouts.

and, knowing we'll the temper of the
rank and file, believes that should the
Republicans insert Prohibition plank
in their next national platform and
the Democrats re-assert their Old-tlme
loyalty to license, the deSert1On or
several Southern states to Republican
ism would follow and that 1t would
sound the death knell of the national
Democracy. On the other hand, If the
temperance wave now rolling through
the Democratic South should induce
the Democratic party to champion Pro
hibition, Republican votes would ele-
vate that party to power.
The Issue further asserts: 1t is
unwise to make a moral issue depend
upon the action of a purely political
organization because that issue goes
down with the defeat of the party
which stands for it," Mr.. Cranfill
knocks this statement in the head in
these words:
THE National Prohibition party has
been in the field of American politics
for almost forty years. 1t has steadily
announced it's candidates and plat
forms with the recurrence of every ma
tional election, and in the states it
d Sllllldl COul oS III CuC
state elections. Nationally it has not
yet achieved what politicians call sue
cess. Every time the vote has been
cast and counted it has been found
that we have met what The American
Issue would call defeat, but it has
never been true in the slightest de-
gree that the Prohibition issue has
gone down with the defeat of the party
which has stood for it. On the con-
trary, the Prohibition issue has gained
tremendously in strength every time
the Prohibition Party has been de-
feated at the polls. As a National
Party we have not yet elected our
men, but as National Party we are
eIecting our issue and ! do not hesitate
to say that the work of the Prohibition
party, in persistentIy calling attention
to the liquor cancer in our national
political life, has made it possible for
the AntiSaIoon League to be born, to
&C and to labor.
