pon+;st church. While the workers
were seated at the banquet table they
waxed enthusiastic in the extreme
shouting out the campaign cries. The
official yell runs as follows;
.'Sis-Boom, Let her come,
We got old Jumbo on the run;
Topeka can, Topeka Will,
The $4,000 elephant kill"
The men "got away with this yell
in GOOD old college style, but when the
nbeer leader tried to train the mem
I,ers of the Women's team, he found
he had a hard job on his hands
The feminine portion of the assem-
blv was more successful in crying out:
'sWe'u stand by Brownell
Well stand by Trout;
Well fix the old elephant, Wen put
him out

s.Forty-five thousand dollars is a
very small amount to raise IN TINS clty
of 10000" he said. THE apparently
small amount of $4,000 would be
raised i'm five minutes if the people
could be aroused to realize the good
this money will do their children in
years to come
Team work, organization and per-
sonal work are the qualities necessary
looks to me as though there were no
question about your having the prop
er kind of an organization.
This proposition to raise $4,000
for the Y w. C. A. means more for
the citv of Topeka than any railroad,
business block or publishing house in
the city. 1t means the uplifting of the
Young men and young women of the
CITY. Unless we use our wealth for the
use which God intended it we are fall
ing short in our duty"
II never was in anything like this.

man. Il believe we have that old ele-

George T. McDermott chairman Of
the young mems section, was put in
rather an embarrassing position. When
he rose to his feet he was dubbed as

Mr.. McDermott rather shocked some

Davis bridge, aboat six miles
from Hope Mills, TO engage in
excavating the large Indian
mound near that pc;nt. Six or
eight men were secured to do the
work of excavatio,4. and as the
mound is 30 feet wife and nearly
as long aud many feet deep, it
will take several days. work to
reach all parts of it. A number
of skulls and bones have been
uncovered, and it is estimated
that fully one hundred and fifty
Indians were buried here long
before the advent IF the white
man. A pipe made of sub.

and a well-defned tc mahawk were
also found. There are number
of Indian mounds lis. this county,

PROHIBITION MAKES GOOD SHOWING.
Some Figures that Show tae Improvement
in Society During the Past Year.

A comparison Of the police
records during the year 1908 and
and 1909, before and after the
prohibition victory in May, 1908,
the following figures show con-
clusively, if one is too dull to see
1t otherwise, to what extent pro-
hibition prohibits. These figures
show that only the first step has
been taken. The next step will
be to elect officers who will not
grant near beer licenses and clubs
and the next will be to prevent
the shipment Of whlskey into dry
territory. These steps taken and
then we can begin to see our way
out of the woods.
The figures mentioned above
were taken from the court
records Salisbury and are as fol-
lows: The number of warrants
issued for 1908 were 1877; and
for 1909, 625, making 693 less
arrests during the prohibition
year. An exchange gives the fol-
lowing in regard to Asheville:
"Fines, penalties and costs col
lected by the Asheyille police
court for the year ending May l
amounted to $40, ,1O9.06. The
past year there were 7S9 arrests
for drunkenness as against 7S7
