Or. Dinwiddle's Address.

At the conclusion of DR.. Clements
address Mrs. Padgett announced that
after DR.. Dinwiddie had made short
talk the meeting would come to a
close.
DR.. Dinwiddie, after making Few
brief remarks, stated that he could
never make a talk without taking a
text and he selected the ttird verse
of the one hundredth and twenty-sixth
Psalm. 1.-THE Lord hath done great
things for us; whereof we are glad"
The speaker occupied the pulpit
for only about three minutes, but In
that time he preached sermon that
contained volumes. He turned to the
other speakers and with all due re-
spect to them, stated that he did not
know whether it was proper that they
should have brought out at this meet
ing the law enforcement argument.
He said that this day is day OF
thanksgiving, of joy, and of praise; IT
was a time in which all who loved
the Lord should send up to their God
thanks for the great benefits that have
been accorded this people. This,
said the speaker, lis the greatest VIC

DEATH PENALTY
FOR MURDERER
SUPREME COURT AFFlRMS SEN
TENCE AGAINST FRANK GIL.
GREATH OF LINCOLN co.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 23.-The
Supreme Court today affirmed the
death sentence of the Lincoln County
Circuit Court against Frank Gilbreath,
colored, who was convicted of the
murder of Ed Pigg. Judge Bell de-
livered the opinion. The defendant
was sentenced to be hung March at
Fayetteville.
The case of James Stewart, of Mar
shall county, presented lamentable
features. Stewart killed Nose Henson
because he had been told that Henson
was discussing the character and do
nestle habits of plaintiffs daughter
with the purpose of making criminal
assault upon her. The court affirmed
the two year sentence against the
plaintiff in error, there being no other
legal recourse, though the record
showed that plaintiff acted under
great excitment and what he consid-
cred great provocation.

plished. We have won victory over
the world, the flesh, the devil, and the
administration" DR.. Dinwiddie stat
ed that the passage of the Statewide
prohibition bill in Tennessee was
greater victory than that where any
other state that had ever passed 1t.
'.The Governor of Georgia" said the
speaker, was sitting in his private
Office with his pen dipped in the ink
ready to sign the bill as soon as 1t
was transmitted to him, and the same
was the case in Alabama, and Missis-
sippi. But the Governor of Tennessee
had a dagger unsheathed ready TO
thrust into it, and rend it, If possible,

him. They are dead but they fought
hard and used every means to beat
us"
The cost has been great; and we
have paid the highest price that any
people could ever pay The day that

with victory and glory"

Judqe Sam Holding.

While Judge Holding joined with the
others in the notes of rejoicing he
impressed most strongly the necessity
of law enforcement and of intoxicating
in the minds of all true respect for the
law. A law, which is not enforced
which is allowed to fall into disrepute
by open and fragrant violations, had
best never been placed on the statute
books. Judge Holding said as rule
the people did not hold the laws IN
sufficient respect; that this spirit was
prevalent everywhere, and that Whlle
a victory had been won, it would be
fruitless victory unless the work was
carried further, and the law-abiding
people insisted on law enforcement
and helped to arouse public sentiment
along this line.

John Latta.

Mr.. Latta said all had more to re-
ioice over now than ever before. The
state had been relieved of the greatest
curse that had ever disgraced a CIV
ilized country. That personally he
could rejoice more fully because he
realized and knew the dangers and
the ruin and degradation that follow
in the wake of the open saloon. Tnat
more than thirty years ago he llned
nm on the side of the home against
the saloon and had been fighting the
battle for the preservation OF the home
and the protection of the boys ana
Young men through all these years.
That twenty-five years ago he ad-
dressed an open letter to the parents
of the county, showing the dangers
from the saloon and its attendant
vices. That while the saloons were
sowing the seeds of discord, he was
clad to say he had done what he could
for the protection of the homes ana
the young men. Mr.. Latta also urged
tbte necessity of law enforcement.

heed to the lendid valur Of the sol

altogether Of those who had died be-

not forget. We would not forget. that
innumerable roll of men and women
who have fought this fight before us
and overcome by inevitable disaster,
have caught no CLEAN of that star Of
victory that spreads its refulgenJ rays
along our path. To their attentive ear
there has. come no whisper Of that
mighty shout Of victory that now
reverberates throughout the state. But
they went to their rest with an abid-
ing faith that knew no shrinking and
left us with their benedictions and
assigned their risks to you and me.
They have sown and we have reaped,
and it is fitting and right that 10 them
in this glad hour should be the great
est glory and honor. And when all
had been done that it seemed that
could be done by human effort, then
il was that our leader came, and gave
TO us his strength and his life, when
personal success to him otherwise had
been easy, and by his death showed
us how much our victory has been
worth.
But we are most of all thankful that
this splendid series of victories teach
es us over again, If teaching anew
were necessary, that the hand of the
Lord is still potent in the affairs OF
men, chat the stars still fight in their
courses for the cause of humanity,
and that the blessings of the civillza-
ton that we enjoy are supported and
upheld by the hand of the God who
rules and loves us, and that by his
support we can hand down to our chill
dren and grandchildren to the reno
test generations the blessings OF a
happy, free and virtuous republic

Or. George Mack.

This is a day of rejoicing. We are
lam clad over the great victory for
moral reform. We see in this great
prohibition movement in the South a
prophecy of a new time for our states
.manship. Once we led in the national
councils. May it not be that now by
the new moral force shown by our
people we again assume the position
of power in all that makes for true
progress.
The victory is not merely the result
of votes by an aroused citizenship.
Today we remember the educative
work done by the noble for years.
In season and out of season, by line
mon line they have so worked as to
change public opinion and make tangi-
BILE results possible.
But we do not crow. We rejoice
but we do not crow over the defeated.
It is d time for such considerate treat
mept Of those who have differed with
ms as to make law enforcement sure.
That is now the important thing. Let
our attitude be such that all can join
with us to see that the statute is
made effective.

coLUmsiAs OBLIGATIONS OVER

NOT A CENT INCREASE IN TAXES
Argument That Abolition of The sa-

Despite the closing Of saloons in
Columbia and the much acclaimed,
but unproven, loss of revenue thereby
the outstanding Indebtedness of the
city has been reduced during the past
twelve months under Mayor Biddle
and his Board of Aldermen and with
the able assistance of Recorder Erwin
by the very nice sum of $4,000, and
taxes have not been raised one cent.
The annual report of Recorder Err
win as presented TO the Board Thurs
DAY night shows that after paying ali
current bills the city wound up the
years business with very nice cash
balance Of nearly $4,000. 1t is true
the year was started with balance
of $500, but during the year the OUT
standing warrant account has been
reduced $4,000, the sinking fund has
been increased by $2,734, and now
stands at S13,6S515.

year from cash balance and from tax

Hon. J. n. Dining.

With so many reasons for feeling
grateful for the great victories Won'
by the moral and religious forces IN
this state, it is difficult to select those
most worthy of mention.
No such victories have been won IN
our generation, and today hundreds OF
thousands of devoted men and women
are raising peans of triumph louder
than those ever heard along the Sa-
cred Way of Rome.
First of all, we are profoundly CRATE
full for the existence of this organlza'
ton, that the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union has crystalized through
its efforts the hopes and the prayers
of our people into one definite channei
and through good and evil report have
seen the promise of better day.
When strong men have reeled In the
strife, amid the exultant shouts OF
powers of darkness, we have felt the
strength of the newer life as we heard
the tread of your organized forces'
undaunted by any defeat.
We are also grateful that the state
Of Tennessee is represented in this
Legislature by men of principle; by
men who nourish no groveling ambi-
tion. hut hold commune with the good;
by men who have heard the voice OF
the people.-and with reverence can
we say that it is the voice of COD;
men who look into the future as far
as human eyes can see, see the glory
of the world and all the wonder that
Is to be, and go to their rest with an
abiding faith that through their ac-
tions in this legislature, the wonder OF
the future will be much more glorious
than else it had been.
We thank God today that the door
of hope has been opened to many a
despairing soul; that that man who
has lost his manhood, his self-respect,
his friends, his all, can dream anew
the dreams of his youth, and can face
the world like man; that that woman
whose heart has been broken and
whose hopes have been blasted by the
failings of her husband, or the way
wardness of her son, may take fresh
|. courage for the battle of life; that
rthat boy with an inherited tendency
toward dissipation and wrong, may
catch the CLEAN of the guiding star
and supported by invisible hands may
pass in safety every temptation that
turks for his destruction; that fewer
and fewer OF our noblest boys and
young men, may heed the lure OF the
SIRENS song and that more and more
of them may measure up to the full
stature of man; that a new genera
ton may tread greater planet than
any we have known.

BLACK FOX PELT
WORTH A FORTUNE

EDMONTON, KY, Jan. 21.-Lee
Handy, who purchased the skin of a
black fox from a boy few days ago
for $3.50, was offered by a Louisville
firm early this week 1925 for it. He
refused to sell it. Later he was Of
fered 5000. He became suspicious and
took the matter up with New York
dealers, who quoted him prices from
81 900 to $500. He will take 1t to
New York and dispose of it. This is
said to be the first black fox ever
killed in Kentucky and the matter has
created great excitement among trap
pers.

STILL LOOKING FOR
 FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
PONCE DE LEON LANDED IN JAIL AT PHOENIX CHARGED WITH
 BEING DIPPY

PHOENIX, May 29.-Pedro Ponce, who imagipes he is Ponce de Leon, still engaged in the search for the fountain of perpetual youth, was tried before Probate Judge Phillips on q charge of insanity and was ordered committed to the insane asylum. Ponce was ar rested by Officer Troutman on Sunday morning.
 Though he was bad enough before, he got worse after he was locked up. He passed Sunday night in an unbrok- en conversation with himself and devel- oped some new and startling hallucina' tiors. He imagined, among other things, that he had discovered the Pacific ocean and that he could speak multitude of tongues.
 He was asked in court about the finding of the Pacific. He modestly admitted it, but he took no especial credit to himself for that, for he said "any fcol could have found it." That was evident; one going far enough west could not very well miss it.
 This was sudden stroke of Ponce's. His health has been good; he has been an industrious laborer and was well liked by those who knew him. There was no sign of mental abberation until last Satul day night, when his mind went all at once.
 He came here about a year ago from Mexico and has a wife and child.
