AMERICAS GREAT
NEED TODAY IS
CHRISTIAN HOMES
Rev. John Mcdowell So Declares
in Sermon at Park Presby=
terrain Church.

Americas Greatest Need was the
subject OF the Rev. John McDowells
sermon in the Park Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning. Taking for
his ext the words of Joshua. "As for
me and my house we will serve the
Lord" Mr., Mcdowell spoke in part as
follows:
Il speak to you this morning on
Americas greatest need. What is the
supreme need of the nation today
Our answer will doubtless be colored
by u special line of interest. The
political pessimist will say "A new
system of government the chronic
agitator. "A new system of laws the
wholesale reformer, A new set Of Of
f~cials;' the educator will reply an en-
larged and improved system Of edu-
cation while the manufacturer and
merchant will says, Greater markets
and better transportation facilities
Religion Is the truest safeguard of
the home. The war-cry of the old
Roman was For our affairs and for our
hearths, our religion and our home
1t called out all his courage, all his
love, all his life.
1.-The altar and the home ought all
ways to be linked together, yea, must
be linked together If the home is to
stand and the altar to have power. No
man is truly religious If he does not
love his home, and there is some rea-
son to doubt whether a man can be all
he ought to be to his home If he does
not love and reverence God. The crying
need of the home today is men of the
type Of Joshua-men whose home life
is independent of what others may do,
men who a say AS for me and my
home we will serve the Lord This is
the type of religion the homes of
America needs just now"

Young Georgian Commits
Suicide in Columbia.

Columbia special in Monde US
Charlotte Observer: Mr.. Georre
Berry Proitett, well-mannesed
and attractive young draughts-
man about % years old, who
came here last September from
his home in EIberton; Ga, to
work In the Office of Architect
Aelgler, in the skyscraper build
ing, committed suicide at his
boarding house on lower Main
street early this morning, appar.
emily on account Of unrequited
love, by taking an overdose of
laudanum.
The young man left no note
explaining his rash act, all his
letters and photographs being
destroyed. His mother has been
dead about year.
There was suspicion among
his friends to-day that Proffett
might have been murdered for
the purpose of robbery, nearly
500 in cash he had on his per
son Saturday afternoon not hav-
ing been accounted for. These
friends deny that there is any
thing in the theory of unrequited
love. They say Proffett and the
young lady mentioned had
been merely friends and had re-
Gently quarreled. The facts
brought to light so far by the
coroner, however, all tend to
strengthen the theory that the
young man committed suicide on
account OF a love affair.

The Legislature Review of
First Weeks Work.

Columbia special in Mondays
News and Courier: The Ganer.
al Assembly of South Carolina
has completed the first week of
the annual session, with record
of little accomplished. However,
it is SAID 10 he important in be-
ginning an action to "clear the
deck, " and perhaps the General
Assembly has done that much.
The Senate began by recommit
ting all bills, which was wise,
since many Of the bills are now
out of date, OWING 10 circum-
stances, but in the House the
Gale ndar was retained intact eX-
cept that on Wednesday the
House event through" the Cal
endar and disposed Of all uucon-
tested matters. The observance
of Lees birthday, legal holiday,
by the trip to Winthrop College
on Saturday, consumed one day,
but the time was we'll spent and
adjournment was taken until
Monday night.
When the elections are dis
posed of the two Houses can get
down to business in dead earnest.
1t is likely that the elections will
be held on Wednesday, though
there is NO formal agreement to
that effect. The withdrawal of
Representative Cothran from the
race for Associate Justice 10
succeed the Hon Eugene B. sGary
makes the election Of Justice
Gary certain. The only other
/. election in which there is much
interest is that of Judge of the 2d
circuit, to succeed Judge James
Aldrich, resigned, and in this the
candidates are Solicitor Davis.
Col. Robert Aldrich and Col.
Claude e. Sawyer.
The House has touched on
the prohibition issue and has re.
fused by a vote of 40 to As to kill
the Nash Smith bill. The bill,
in it's amended form, is a very
drastic measure, and will if pass
ed prevent even the keeping oil
liquor in a private residence for
personal use.

DRINK PUTS
HIM IN A CELL
errom wednesday.s AdvertIser.,

AatAsA fFNN%+N'N-s -
Standing behind the grated bars of
a cell in the upstairs corridor of the
police station yesterday was young
man who is charged with vagrancy,
about the only charge which the police
could prefer against him, without sub.
iecting him to charge which would
involve severe punishment if found
guilty in the police court. Hugh Bur
roughs arrived here on the British
steamer Craigvar from Norfolk, the
steamer bringing coaI 1or the Navy
from that port. Burroughs was n resi-
dent of Norfolk at the time he shipped
on the tramp steamer, his father being
one of the Judges of Norfolk and the
family well known through Virginia.
Since arriving in Honolulu, Burroughs
is known to have gone at a swift pace,
and it is probably due to his drinking
that he became involved in trouble. His
connection with some checks which
were recently passed and which drew
unfavorable comment from w. l.. Cas-
tie, of Castle & Wilmington Is law office,
is said to have brought him to the at
tention of the police department. Mr..
Castle was at one time school mate
of young Burroughs, whose appearance
and language mark him above the ordi-
nary run of young men.
After being taken into custody Bur
roughs did considerable telephoning
about town to get bondsmen to stand
for his release and appearance in court
tomorrow morning.
To an Advertiser reporter Burroughs
said he did not know what he was in
custody for. "I haven t murdered any
one and haven't injured any one, and
haven't forged checks" said he, "and
/ don't know what they want me here
for" He said the only paper he had
negotiated was draft drawn on his
father at Norfolk. He said he expected
TO get position in the U. S. Quaran.
