Refuse to BE DiscourageG"-AThe
Sunshine Motto. for Oconee.

Sunshine Motto. for Oconee.
Even when everything goes wrong
and dark despair tugs at your heart
remember the Sunshine motto and
refuse to give up, but with renewed
courage and faith in God go forward
and look for brighter days. Look
around you and you will find some
one in a worse condition that needs
your help. Maybe only loving
word of sympathy or prayer to our
Father, who is ever willing to hear
his children in behalf of the sad,
l4pajy and distressed.
Our Object.
To make the lives of others hap
pier by some deed of loving kind
ness. We mag call the day well
spent that has made some one lit
tie happier than they would have
been without us. "'Those who bring
Sunshine to the lives of others cannot
keep it from themselves"
Our Plan.
To cheer the sick, comfort those in
trouble, help the needy as much as
we can. The good cheer of one in
dividual would not go very far, but
''in unity there is strength" The
united effort of whole society
counts for something worth doing.
Sometimes several societies join and
SEND a box or basket Of good cheer.
1t would melt the coolest heart to
read some Of the grateful letters Of
thanks.
To each society l give an invalid
to look after. So many of the good
women of Cconee are gifted and
can write bright, cheerful letters.
Now, I make a plea for those who
need just such Sunshine: Write and
stamp them ready to mail, and bring
or send them to the Sunshine Con-
vention to be held at Rock Springs
church the 28th of August. Bring
postals, magazines or anything to
brighten life for some one who needs
it. have list of more than 200 /
want to send a message OF good cheer
to on that day, SO being over 80
years old. ! have a postmaster to
receive the mail and two assistants
to address the letters, cards or pa
pers, with a list of the names of
those we want to remember.
Let the children help. So many
of the calls come from children.
Three good women gave me few
stamps to help on the Sunshine work.
Mrs. J. B. Pickett and Mrs. Ale
tha Ballenger contributed quite q
number of magazines and papers, for
all Of which I am very grateful. 1t
is a great pleasure to pass the good
things on. Julia d. Shanklin,

partments, where 1t is most need
ed, and has given the councilman
over any department the right to
discharge any employe at will; 1t
has adopted practically the pres
emit routine to govern the council
IN it's duties and powers, adding
the executive feature to the duties
of councilmen to provide for the
commission plan of government;
1t has laid down qualifications for
office, excluding young men under
certain age, and has fixed $500 as
the limit that may be spent by a

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.--
Detectives today solved the mys-
terry attached to the discovery of a
mongrel dog sinking along Lom-
bard street with a human arm
grasped between his jaws.
Policeman Hurd was patrolling
his beat late yesterday when he
saw the dog emarge from an alley
dragging a bare, glistening human
arm. He Immediately gave chase
and was joined by score of horri-
fed citizens. After run of two
blocks, the animal dropped his
burden.
The arm was found to have
been severed neatly at the Shout
der joint. 1t was mangled and
torn where the dog had mouthed
it.
Police headquarters, when noti-
fed, detailed a squad of detec-
tives upon the case. Early to-
day report was made that the
arm had been unearthed from a
dump heap, where it had been
thrown by medical students.

it absolutely Illegal to own, pos

OF oklahoma. The law makes it
absolutely Illegal to sell or even
give away beer or whisky in that

that the man who defies the laws

lin other ways the federal au-
thorities have not greatly helped
the campaign of the prohibition
lists. For a number of years prohi-
bition states which were dry"
were flooded by adjoining wet"
states through the use of the
mails, in sending orders to out
side dealers, and having them fill
ed by the express companies and
the railroads under the protection
of the federal regulation of inter-
state commerce. Fortunately wei
secured from the last congress a.
law which will go into effect on
Jan. 1, 1910, which will make It'll
impossible for express companies
to act as agents for brewers and
distillers, and for the latter to-
send liquor into dry states c. o.
d. The decisions of the supreme
court also have helped the brew
ers and liquor dealers. Nineteen
years ago a law was passed byI
congress which was intended to
prevent the shipping of liquor into
prohibition states, but strained
Interpretation of the act by the
supreme court rendered it null
and void.
Congress Changes Attitude.
Congress, however, is begin
ming to take a more enlightened
view of this matter. The progress
made by the prohibitionist cause,
and particularly by local option,
during the last two or three years,
has made 1t impossible for mem
bers of the national legislature to-
stand against this reform. The
effects of abolishing the saloon
