THE cULPEPPER MEETINGS

The Culpepper meeting Saturday
night was we'll attended and his theme
was largely temperance, in which he
took occasion to say that the speeches
made at the Ocala House were the
equal Of the best and on the wet queS-
ton as presented by Hon. Robert Nc
Nance, the best he had ever heard. 1t
pleased him to see with what courtesy
and kindness the speakers referred to
each other. Speaking Of Maine. he
said people could always find what
they were looking for. but in spite of
it, each time the question came to a
vote, prohibition won.
Sunday morning a large crowd was
in attendance and Rev. j. B. Culpep-
and convincing sermons on Don't
You Want to Know Christ ?" He spoke
for an hour and half and men and
women heard with bated breath his
wonderful words and word painted
pictures.
He said il people would get to think
ing and talking about Christ as they
did Of Julius Caesar, Napoleon, wash
ington, Lincoln, Lee and Grant. While
all these had done great things for the
world, except the personal ambition Of
Caesar and Napoleon and were bene-
factors of their race and the world.
yet compared to Christ's work for hui
spoke magnif1cently and wonderfully
Of the Bible, the source of all knOwl
edge. That if Columbus had not been
reader of the Bible he never would
have discovered America. The Bible
told him the world was round, so he
went on, believing in the Bible and
Christ Closing he gave several word
pictures. One, the woman, who was
the child of the autocrat but grew up
to be a good woman, fleeing from her
brother who camped on her trail from
young womanhood and attempted to
lead her aStray, until conductor
spoke the first words of love to her.
His sudden death confirmed her belief
that no one loved her She attended
Mr.. Culpepper's meetings and became
converted through his showing that
Christ died for the world. His illus
trations were marvellous.
In the afternoon he spoke to the
negroes, half Of the tent being turned
over to them and half to the white
people and made an impression sure.
He showed the old time manner of the
negroes making their contributions to
the church. The negro drunk or sober
always does this. He marches up to
the altar and in the presence Of the
pastor deposits his nickel. He made
conversions to the dry cause. T. j.

Inverness, Fla. Jan. 20, 1908.
Rev. c. c. Carroll, Ocala, Florida:
Dear MIR. CARROLL understand that
the conditions existing in Citrus coun-
ty as regards the Illicit sale Of liquor
is cutting some figure in the local op-
tion election pending in Marion and
that among other things it is charged
that prohibition here does not prohibit.
and / have been requested to give you
a statement along this line.
1t is true that prohibition, with a
very light fine, sometimes as low as
s25. did not have much Of a deterrent
effect, and that while the practice of
filming those convicted Of selling liquor
was in vogue, we did have a great
number of blind tigers" but at the
special term of the court held in Sep
TENDER and at the regular term held
in November of last year, Judge Bull
lock gave all persons convicted a
straight Jail sentence, and prohibition
with Jail sentences for it's violation is
prohibiting the sale of liquor in this
county. There is not an open tiger in
the county today, and there has not
been one since the special term of
could held II September. when the
judge comn\ ced the imposition of
Jail sentence1Ial those tried at the
November term being for sales made
prior to the special term. The prohi-
bition law is being enforced in, this

shane than ever before

World summarizes the main points
OF the emperor's Interview as FOL

THAT King Edward of Great Brit

more than two years and that he was
eXasperated; that Germany was the
paramount power I'm all Europe and
England was trying TO neutralize that
power
"That he held France In the hollow
OF his hand, and that Russia was OF

she had with Japan.
"That II the Pan-European war
which had been so much talked OF
was inevitable. the sooner It came the
better Il would be for him. but he was
ready and was tired of the suspense.
THAT Great Britain had been de.

over the Transvaal and the Orange

righteous. ungodly cause, and Divine
Judgment was bound eventually TO
overtake the powerful nation that
waged such a war
THAT the Anglo-Japanese alliance

openly TO be Englands friend and

THAT the only way to counteract
this alliance was for Germany and
America to act together at an early
date or America would have to fight
