Editor Advertiser:
Dear Sir-Noting the different sub
jects submitted. by Gov. Conner for
1t assemblies under his call. there Ia
one matter that has often been a.
cause of surprise. And that IL why
the law makers have never put any
restrictions around the sale and use
of dynamite. Considering Its danger
GUS nature and the ease with It may
be obtained it is much worse than
the government undertakes to control.
Any body can get 1t for the money
and no questions asked. 1t is useless
for me to try to enumerate the crimes
that have been committed or the
deaths that have come through its
use. to say nothing of the destruction
Of property. The streams Of this

al government undertook to stock
some of the streams here with q new
fish for this section and In less than
a week some thoughtless persons were
putting dynamite in the creek right
In the place where these fish had
been put. While there are laws that
fish 1t Is absolutely impossible to pre-
vent 1t as long as they can procure
the dynamite SO easily.

Sunday Schools will go the offerings
from the B; Y. d p; u o;bs Sup s%ndax
Schools not in our schedule and many
noble friends will make personal off

till November. Listen, brother super
intendent, but for the many gifts from
the Sunday Schools in the state the
doors Of our Home would be closed
to many who are seeking admittance
to II and who are entitled to place

which we receive comes from the
