FINE TEMPERANCE SPEECH

One of the best temperance address
es ever delivered here was given by
the Rev. NJ. J. Tanning In the Chapel
Monday night. AS a result of his
address 226 persons signed the pledge.
On his last visit three years ago,
Mr.. Tanning secured 266 pledges, max
ing total In this town of 492 pledges
due to his work. The large audience
which gathered showed how pleasant
~ Berea remembered the speaker
and IL may be safely predicted that
II he comes again the crowd will even
be larger.
After the band had played a number
OF selections. Prof Ellis, with a
few well chosen remarks introduced
Mr.. Tanning. The latter is a man of
strong personality. He was greeted
with great burst OF applause, and
quickly put himself In touch with the
audience by his ready wit and earn
estness in going straight to the sub
ject OF his address.
He said that intemperance is the
greatest foe OF the church of Christ
because Il robs the church of means
and members. The last report OF the
Commission OF Internal Revenue shows
that the people of the United States
have paid SPAS. 100000 to the saloon
in a single year Since the govern
ment commission reports only on the
llquor that is taxed, the figures are
necessarily lower than they would be
II they could count Illicit whiskey. Mr.
Tanning from his own Investigations
makes the figure s2,57O.OO0, 900. While
no claim is made that all this money
would go to the church 1t is self evil
dent that a great deal of II would be-
cause the saloon robs the church OF
its members. Statistics show that In
England alone the church loses 3D.
600 members annually on account OF
whiskey. II these men stayed In the
church some OF the money they now
nav to the saloon they would have put
In the church.
Intemperance is a foe to the home,
Mr.. Tanning continued. II has no
guide but its greed and seeks to
seize every victim which comes into
its power. The moral desolation
caused by whiskey is running our
homes.
II is a foe to our country. The vir-
tue and intelligence OF the people
constitute the cornerstone OF the re-
public. Any thing which lets down
virtue and lessons intelligence under
mines the republic. Whiskey stands
in the way of all civic and political
reform.
Mr.. Tanning said he was pleased at
the stand the temperance people OF
Kentucky are taking. in pushing pro-
hibition thru constitutional amendment
anI not thru statutory legislation. He
said that many states that have been
trying county option have quit that
because they believe state prohibition

DR.. D. X. Pearsons Makes Provision
for Fine New Dormitory for Col
Isge Men-It Will be Brick, and
Have Rooms for at Least 40 Boys.

Great enthusiasm was caused in
the College Chapel Monday morning
when Pres. Frost announced that
letter had been received from DR.. ID.
X. Pearsons, at Pasadena, Cal, saying
that he would give $4,000 TO Berea
College FOR the erection Of a new dor
mitory for boys. DIR. Pearsons who Is
spending the winter In California for
his health recently celebrated his
seth birthday, and on that occasion
received n congratulatory telegram
from the Berea faculty and students,
In grateful remembrance of his pre-
vious gifts.
The new dormitory will be built
to the west OF Howard Hall and will
be a fine structure in every respect.
The college brickyard will supply the
bricks, and In fact, has almost enough
already on hand. Some have even
been hauled 90 the site. The cree
ton OF the building will begin as soon
as the plans can be finished and will
be pushed TO the utmost. The build
ing is expected TO be ready for
occupancy by the time the Fall
term opens in September. SO Ear as
possible all the work will be done
by student boys. and the job will give
many OF them work for the summer.
The building will be of brick, in
plain but pleasing style. 1t will be
three or four stories high, and will
contain fifty or sixty rooms for stu
dents. besides a suite for teacher
and family II is expected that the
building will furnish Accommodations
for at least 100 young men.
DIR. Pearsons has been the largest
single giver TO Berea College, and
the present donation increases con-
siderably the schools obligations 70

and South Carolina have changed re-
Gently and Florida, Arksanas, Missouri
and Utah arc fighting for 1t. One
reason, ne said. for preferring state
prohibition to county option is that
the liquor men prefer county option.
We should have state prohibition
by amendment to the constitution
rather than by statutory legislation,
Mr.. Tanning argues because a con-
stitutionA amendment could not be
changed without the direct vote of
the people. Statutes can be repealed.
Voting for a prohibition amendment,
too, would harmonic the temperance
voters Of the state as nothing else
will.
Mr.. Tanning answered the argument
that the money from internal revenue
was needed for the educational sys-
tenn by comparing Kansas, prohibit
ton state with Kentucky. Kentucky

RAILROAD IN OWSLEY AND
CLAY:-Surveyors are at work in
Owsley Co., surveying a route for a
new railroad which is to connect with
the L. & A. at Beattyville, in Lee Co.
The proposed new road will penetrate
the richest coal and timber sections
of Lee. Owsley, Clay and Knox coun-
ties and it's objective point is ln-
derstood to be Knoxville, Tenn.
Owing to this new railroad there is
much activity in deals for mineral
and timber lands thru this part of
the mountains.
PLANTING TOBACCO:-Whent there
has been a high price for a certain
crop one year, there is big rush of
farmers to plant that crop the next
year, and the market will be so glutt-
ed that the price will go way down
and they will all lose. Only once in
while some thing like the failure
of the crop somewhere else saves
them. This is what is happening 10
tobacco in Kentucky. Last year af-
ter a terrible fight the tobacco was
sold out at fancy price This year
every man that can is going to plant
tobacco. At the same time Connecti-
cut and other states, which enlarged
their tobacco fields last year to make
Up for the shortage caused by the
Kentucky troubles, are planting heavi-
ly, and it now looks as IL the years
tobacco crop would be the largest
ever raised. This will probably mean
that the price will be the lowest on
record, for the trusts cannot be forced
into paying a high price when
there is plenty that 1t can get cheap.
Watch for fireworks in the tobacco
market in the fall, but If you want to
enjoy them don't plant any tobacco

Ravarian Distances.

In the Bavarian highlands signposts
along the roads, instead of stating the
number of miles or kilometers to the
various villages, give the amount of
time which the average pedestrian will
supposedly take to traverse the dis
lance. This is merely an official ex-
preston of the very general custom of
the peasants in the region, who invari-
ably tell inquirers on the roads not
how far it is to a place, but how long
1t takes to get there. Not only that,
but they make the system still more
unsatisfactory to the stranger by lit
tie additional eccentricity of their own.
For instance, one asks, Glow far is
It to Oberammergau?'
"a small half hour" will be the an
swer, or perhaps ga good half hour"
or ga big half hour"
Which is puzzling until the stranger
learns that "small half hour" means
twenty-five minutes, ga good half
hour" thirty minutes, ga big half hour"
thlrty-five minutes, ga small three
quarters of an hour" forty minutes,
and so on.
