MRS. JONES IS
CALLED HOME
DEVOUT CHRISTIAN WOMAN DIES
FROM SUDDEN STROKE
OF PARALYSIS.

Mrs. Hattie Jones, wife of the late
Clark Jones, died Friday morning at
her residence on Eighth street after a
short illness with paralysis. Mrs.
Jones was stricken with the dread
malady a few days ago, following a
severe fall a week or two earlier, and
grew gradually worse until the end
came. She is survived by two chill
dren, Mrs. Bruce Cochran, Jr., of this
city and Clark Jones of the county.
Mrs. Jones was devout member Of
st. Peters Episcopal church, from
which the funeral services were held
Saturday afternoon at O'Clock. The
following acted as pall-bearers: An
drew Dale, DR.. S. r. Hardison, Eugene
George P. Martin, DR.. J. W.

peal to the voters to elect only prohi-
bitionists to the Legislature-to put
none but friends on guard.
Mayor Biddle, in introducing Mrs.
Armor spoke briefly. THE Herald in
its Saturday afternoon issue said that
was not only to introduce Mrs. Ar
NOR but to make an address. I am
not going to make an address, but l
believe that the gifted speaker Of the
, occasion will more than recon-
pense for my short comings. l have
the privilege of introducing Mrs. Mary
I Harris Armor," he said.
Mrs. Armor was greeted with a
round OF applause as she begun to
lspeak. From that moment until the
benediction had been said there was
no lull in the interest shown.
Taking as her text as it were the
four cardinals-Informatio Educa-
cation, Organization and Conservation
she fired volley after volley of elo-
quence straight at the liquor defenses,
SCATTERING and demoralizing every ar
gument made in behalf of the saloon
and in favor of the perpetuation of
the liqour traffic in in Tennessee.
Beginning with Information, Mrs.
Armor told the prohibitionist that they
should know what was going on. She
said that she knew of her own knowI-
edge that it was the scheme of the
liquor crowd to pretend that prohibi-
ton did not prohibit, and thus to get
it back into the State. She told of
the howl that the liqorites had raised
about prohibition not prohibiting, and
to illustrate the sophistry of such
statements held up her handkerchief
BLACK shows against white. Look at
this handkerchief. If l poured a lit
tie ink on it it would be so black
that | wouldn't carry it around. But
If you poured a whole bottle of ink on
a black hat you wouldn't notice it.
When you had barrels and barrels of
whiskey coming in here every day
nothing was said about it, You were
used to it. But now if one jug comes
in it looks as big as hogshead."
Mrs. Armor warned the prohibitions
lists not to be deceived. THE distil- |
lers and brewers and saloon men had
rather bring liquor back to Tennessee
than to see it driven out of the great
states of New York and Missouri.
Why ? So they can go into all those
states where the fight is raging and
where it will rage later on and say, /
look at Tennessee. Prohibition is a
failure"

Local and state records crashed
Sunday afternoon at the Opera House
when six hundred dollars was sub
! scribed for the good cause of prohibi.
bition by a record breaking audience
that had listened for more than an
hour to the impassioned oratory of
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, the noted
| Georgia temperance worker
When the State Convention of the
w. c. T. U. met in Columbia Mrs. Ar
NOR delivered one of her powerful ad-
dresses and afterwards took up a col
lection of $4OO.
She set a precedent.
When ]. A. Tate toured the State in
behalf of the w. c. T. U. he received
cash and pledges to the amount Of
$3.50 at Columbia.
He broke a record.
When Mrs. Armor, on her present
trip through Tnnessee, spoke at Nash
vile she received exactly $487.00.
She was pleased.
But when she came to Columbia and
rung down six hundred dollars, every
cent of which was given spontaneous
ly and gladly she could do nothing but
express her appreciation with series
of those fervent hallelujahs for which
she is noted.
When Mrs. Armor arose to speak
Sunday afternoon she faced a magnif-
icent audience. Every seat on the
lower floor was occupied, and many
persons had been turned away Up
stairs in the balcony there were but
few vacant seats, and would have
been none but for the reluctance Of
the public to take to the second story.
The audience was representative of
the best of everything in Columbia So
cial and business life.
Seated on the stage were several
of the local ministers, one or two min
