of many charms, and a member of one

Although the fact of the marriage OF

in the urn of secrecy, yet when it be-
came known congratulations and we'd
ding gifts were numerous.
Prof and Mrs. Peery will be at home
to their friends in Johnson City.

on domestic and steam coal from the
mines TO Johnson City, This means
that steam coal can be laid down here
now at $1.45 ton, rate that takes
fuel out of consideration in figuring
upon Johnson City as site for manu-
featuring plant. This rate should re-
duce domestic coal to the consumer at
least 50 cents ton and perhaps more.

IMPRESSED WITHQTY
GROWTH OF MONTGOMERY sUH-
 PRISE TO NEWSPAPER MEN.

Visitors Enthusiastic i'm Their Praises
 of Fine Roads of County and
 Paved Streets of City.
 Tt was great day for Montgom- cry"
 In these words an earnest member of the Commercial Club summed up the visit to the city Wednesday of thirty-five leading newspaper men Of the South-msmbers of the Associated Press.
 This Commercial Club man said he was impressed with the admission of Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution. that it was his first visit to Montgomery. Conversation with the other visitors disclosed the fact that 1t was the first visit of more than half of them to Montgomery. They were unanimous in saying that the growth O.. Montgomery was c great surprise to them. They carried to their homes entirely different views of Montgomery from those they had en- tertained.
 The photograph of the party as pub lished in The Advertiser yesterday morning is of great value. It will be preserved as a picture of the largest number of daily newspaper men that has ever assembled at one time. More members of the Southern Division of the Associated Press attended the meeting than had attended any pre- vious meeting of the body.
 W. J. Chambers, the photographer of Montgomery. made the picture. It was taken by flashlight in the assem- bly, hall of the Commercial Club. and shows the large placards on the rear walls, placards that show something of the great resources and possibili- ties of Montgomery and Alabama Copies of the photograph will be pre- served by nearly every member of the party.
 The visitors were enthusiastic in their praise of the fine roads of the county and the paved streets and side walks of Montgomery. Their oppor- tunity to view Montgomery by an automobile drive was due to the thoughtfulness of R. J. Chambers, Vice President and General Manager of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Go. MT. Chambers himself owns a large touring car, and he in terested other owners of cars with the result that eight large automobiles were placed at the service of the local committee.
 The party was led in its drive by MT. Chambers himself who was of great assistance in showing off Mont gomery.

DUTIES OF MANHOOD
STRONG ADDREss DY REV. WILL
 LIAM R0LLIN0.
Every Ma> Has Hii Duties Just Az Much AS . Clergyman, Tn The
 Work of The Priest-

A strong address was made yester- day at the noon day services in the Majestic Theatre by Rev. William Roi- lins of Sweet Briar Institute. Virginia. His subject was Tho Priesthood of All Mankind" and the eloquence with which he developed 1t made . marked Impression upon the 15o men who heard him.
 Every one of you has duties just as much as a clergyman" he declared The essential function of the priest hood is to make man better and to bring God and man together. In this sense. the priesthood belongs to you just as much as 1t does to a clergyman. To be sure. you have not the robes. the ecclesiastical positions and all that. These. however, are unessentiaL
 If you have ever had any vivid Christian experiences, you cannot help but speak of them to others. This comes not from your sonship, but from your humanity.
 The duty of truth. self crifice and love do not come from acceptance of Christ.
 A man may say 'I do not pretend to be . Christian" and yet these obliga- tions no less devolve upon him.:
 "An official minister has certain ad- vantaees over the layman in the work of priesthood. He is able to give the whole of his time, he Is trained, and his office gives him certain power.
 But you as laymen, have certain powers that we have not. The mere fact that your work is not official gives you opportunities that a minis ter never has. We need laymen to recognize the priesthood, because they can apply Christianity in their busi- ness life. The trouble with Christiani- ty has been that 1t Is always too much separated from real life of the people. You must remember that every time that you apply the gospel to your busi- ness, you give it a new interpretation.

GERARD TO RESTRICT
 NEAR-BEER SALOONS

Girard. March 25-(SpeciaD-The city council of Girard probably will make the restrictions upon near-beer saloons and soft drink establishments ~as rigid as they formerly were upon regularly licensed whiskey saloons.
 The city clerk has been instructed to draft ordinances looking to the placing of such restrictions upon them.
 The question of entering cold drink stands on Sunday was discussed and the clerk was instructed to draft an ordinance prohibiting any one enter ing a cold drink stand on Sunday where near beer Is sold. Heretofore the proprietors of such places have been permitted to enter them, but If the new ordinance is adopted, and it very likely will be- even the proprie- tors will not be allowed to enter them on Sunday.
 The clerk was instructed to draft an ordinance prohibiting women from entering near beer saloons, and to anske 1t obligatory upon the marshal to notify proprietors of such places to make cases against all women violat- ing the ordinance.
 The fact that recently an Alabama pudge rendered a decision to the ef- feet that 1t was unlawful under the prohibition act to sell near beer. or any SOII QTlnk O1 any klnu lHdt VIII pTO- duce intoxication, or that is in any way intoxicating. has caused a good deal of discussion of the near beer propo- sition. It Is claimed by some that near beer Is an intoxicant if sufficient quantity of 1t Is drunk. and if it Is. under the decision of the judge re- ferred to. 1t is unlawful for any one to sell 1t in the state.
 That near beer is being sold in Girard is evident from the fact that the city council has instructed the clerk to draw ordinances providing for restrictions concerning near beer saloons. Several new soft drink estab- lishments have been opened in the city recently. Tn discussing the situation in Girard a few days ago a well known Girard citizen said
 T am not prepared to say that the prohibition law Is being violated In Girard; I don't know. do know however. that people are securing in toxicants from some place. So far as my observation goes conditions appear to be about the same to me now that they were before the prohibition law went into effect"
 The gentleman had reference to out. ward appearances. There are the saloons selling soft drinks. and they look about like the old time whiskey saloons This is what he referred to.
