 Selma. Dec. o.--(SpeciaI. D--The men in Selma who are engaged in the whis- kew business are watching with con siderable interest the actions of the whiskey men. in Montgomery and Mo- bile. There are many here who be- lfeve that the Carmichael prohibition act if fought in the courts can pc beaten and they think that the saloon men will win. their light if they make one.
 whether the local association of liauor dealers contributed anything to the fund which Is said to have been raised to test the prohibition act Is not made public here. But 1t Is generally believed that if a fund has been raised to fight the law that they put in their part of the money. Those here who are engaged In the whiskey business win observe the law until 1t has been tested. All of the saloons will close tomorrow night at 9 o'clock as usual and will then remain closed there after.
 But while the whiskey people are watching the steps that are being taken by those in Montgomery and Mobile the citizens are preparing Tor q long dry spell. Everyone who has the money to spare Is laying in sup ply of the brand which he likes best.
 The suit case trade from the sur- rounding counties continues good here. largo number of whites and blacks from the adjoining counties are daily coming to the city with empty suit cases and which they carry home m inc afternoon filled with bottles of urhiskey.

LAYMEN'S SUNDAY
Gov. AnSel and DR.. Smith Were
the Speakers

Laymen's Sunday was cclebra
ted here last Sunday by the Pres.
byterians in the auditorium Of tho
Murchison school building. Tho
weather was ideal and 4 trcmcnd.
ous crowd vas out. Every scat
was taken when the exercises
were opened and many chairs
were placed in the isle to accomo-
date those who were unable to get
seats.
The exercises were opened by
the singing Of the long meter dox
ology Praise God From whom
all Blessings Flow" which was fol-
Slowed by prayer by Dr.. Mcleod,
the Pastor of the Church. Seated
on the stage were the choir, the
Elders, Governor Anscl, and DR..
Bunyan Mcleod. After prayer
had been offered DIR. Mcleod
read the morning lesson from the
first chapter Of General Epistlc of
James.
After collection had been takan
Dr.. Mcleod introduced Gov. Nj.
+. Anscl, of South Carolina, who
was to be the speaker at the morn
ing exercises. In introducing the
distinguished speaker DR.. Mcleod
referred to the fact that the Chief
magistrate Of the United States,
the Governor Of North Carolina,
and the Governor South Carolina
were God Fearing men and that
each of them could and did carry
the message Of the Gospel of
Peace to their people. He said
that he was proud Of this fact and
it was a cause Of rejoicing that
such men filled the highest Office
of the State. In this connection
also DR.. Mcleod gave the
reason for having a laymen's Sun
day. He said that he and the SEES
sion of the Church in thinking over
ways in which the religious inter
ests of the people could be arous-
ed and bettcred hit upon the plan
of having a lrymcn's Sunday and
this was the day, Only the Lay
men were to speak and they were
to carry the tidings of the Kindom
of God. He said that he was clad
to see that the laymcn were be-
coming more and more to realize
the fact they should take more
part in werk Of this kind and that
it resulted in much good.
In opening his address Gov.
Anscl said that it was always his
desire to speak a word for his
Master. He said that he rccog-
nlzcd the God of Nations and that
without him nothing can be done
and he was always glad tc SAY a
word for him in season and out of
season and that it was his priva-
legc today to say a word in behalf
of God. Just here Gov. Anscl
sad that it was an old saying that
the best things were kept for the
las and that he was glad it was
true to day (Rcfcring to DR..
Smith who spoke ath evening ser
vice.
Gov. Anscl made a simple, strong
practical, and very convincing
talk on the subject "Thc Duties
of Christian citizenship. Hand
ling this subject in a mastcrfully
way Gov. Anscl said in part as
follows:
All people are citizens Of some
country, Either of this state, or
some other state, l. some country.
AS citizens we must be Chris
tan Citizens and we owe this as a
duty.
In the first place we owe it TO
ourselves. You owe it to your
mental to your moral, and to your
religious man. We must take
The Marlboro democrat. [volume] (Bennettsville, S.C.) 1882-1908, 1908-03-20

who administer it. We should put
down lawlcssness and we owe it rs
a duty to the state and nation that
We make the best citizens that we
can. We should see that right is
done even to the humblcst.
4th, The duty we owe to God.
This is the greatest duty Of all.
Here we arc placed in a land Of
bibles and churches and can wor-
ship under our own vine and fig
tree and in what manner
We choose. Then do we not owe a
duty to God who has given us all
this. God can take us away in the
twinkling of an eye. No one can
look around in the woodland doubt
that there is Il God. He made the
stars, and the sun, the seasons day
and night. Look how the planets
move in the way God fixed for
them without swcrving one inch
from the path. He expects that
we be Christian citizcus and we
owe it as II duty to him. We will
soon be called before the Bar of
God and we should perform that
duty as well las we can. 1t is
pleasant for brethren to dwell to-
gether in unity and we are all
serving the same God. Denomina-
tons do not matter for they are
all advancing the kingdom of God.
The teachers have a great privi-
legc. They prepare the sons and
daughters and send them forth to
spread the word and it goes on and
on reaching up to the throne OF
Grace.
Gov. Anscl closed by saying that
as all knew he was a very busy
man but he couldn't help but com
ing here today for the privilege Of
tolking upon this subject. And his
final words were, May you all
say as the sacred writer said. My
citizenship is in heaven"
At the close of this DR.. Mcleod
offered a ~fcrvent prayer and after
nothcr hymn the congregation
was dismissed until evening with
the bencdiction.
THE EVENING EXERCISES.
The evening exercises we're
opened at s o'clock. Seated on the
stage were Che elders, Rev. e p
Rushton, Rev. r e Turnipsced,
DR.. Henry Louis Smith, DR.. Bum
yam Mcleod, and the choir. The
first song was rs thy heart right
with Code" After n more hymn
had been sung prayer was made
by Rev. EP Rushton. Then the
singing of the laymcn's hymn was
followed by the reading Of the 3rd
chapter of the book of Daniel by
DIR. Smith. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Turnipsccd and then DR..
Mcleod introduced DR.. Henry
Louis Smith, the President Of
Davidson College, who was to be
the speaker Of the evening.
Taking as his subject "Shad-
rach, Mcsach and Abcdncgo," DR..
Smith held the audience closely.
Ills presentation Of this subject
and the lessons from it was splcn-
did and all were delighted with
speaker.
The following is a short sum
mary Of his subject: All arc hero
worshipcrs. Everyone has his
ideal and is striving for it. What
one persons ideal is like would be
scorncd by another. Ambitions
are different and ideals arc differ
cnt. But all admire courage.
Courage is honorcd the world over.
Physical courage is a~pplaudcd by
the people and the world is COM
