at is my intention to stress COM
pleter organization this year." said
Judge Carthel, general secretary for
the state. "In other words / expect
to work for more banner cum
ties, although at the same time
endeavoring to extend the scope
Of the organized work. Not only do
hope to see all of the counties or
ganized, but to see them organized
thoroughly. The number OF banner
counties now credited to Tennessee
is a splendid testimonial Of what has
already been accomplished. and for
these results am indebted to the as
sistance and cooperation Of q large
number Of friends"

ELECTRIC SIGN FOR
WATER ca LIGHT CO.

One of the most attractive signs in
Columbia has been installed by the
Columbia Water and Light Company
at the companys ONCE on West Sew
enth st. The sign has attracted much
attention and has proven quite an adj
vertisement for the company. The
sign is the work of Otey Johnson, one
of the employees of the company, and
reflects much credit on his inventive
genius.

Among the notables attending the
State Sunday School convention was
H. R. Moore, of Franklin county, elect
ed to membership on the new Execu-
tive Committee of the Association.
Mr.. Moore has been a conspicuous
figure in the politics of his section and
State. Mr.. Moore was the author of
the first four mile law ever passed in
Tennessee, the act that was the basis
for prohibition legislation for many
years. Mr.. Moore was member OF
the General Assembly of 1877, repre-
senting Franklin county in the House,
He introduced an act to prohibit the
sale of Intoxicating liquors within four
miles of an incorporated institution OF
learning situated outside of an moor
porated town. There was just one in
stitution in that State that answered
this description and that was the Uni
versity of the South, the great Episco-
pal school at Sewanee, In Mr..
Moore's county. Ten years later this
act was so amended as to apply to ev-
sion or not, except schools situated
sir or not, except schools situated
within incorporated towns or cities.
Mr.. Moore may therefore, be said
to be the father of temperance legis-
lation in Tennessee. He has been
true to the faith ever since. Unlike
some of those who battled for temper
ance when there was little chance to
obtain It and then deserted at the cru
cial moment, Mr.. Moore kept in the
faith. He was a candidate two or
three times for the House from his
county on the issue TO close saloons

Good Session
The concluding session of the State
Sunday School Convention was an I'M
usually interesting one, the finale Of
the big gathering being featured with
kind words for Columbia and optimis-
tic utterances as to the future or or
ganized work in the state. As the
first order of business E. E. French. of
Nashville, filled the place of DR.. Ham
i'll on the program, the latter being in
Scotland as a delegate to a worlds
missionary conference now being held
there. Following this a number or
short talks we're made, Mr.. Henry, of
Smith county, quite capturing the con-
vention with an outburst OF mountain
elequence This speaker touched up
on the prohibition question, declaring
that if he we're young lady before he
would dip snuff or marry man who
drinks he would be an old maid, dry
up like a fodder stack and blow
away" At his references to prohibit
ton the audience vigorously applaud
ed. Mr.. Henry invited the convention
to visit him in Smith county, saying
that if they wouldn't come in bunch
he would entertain them all.
County President w. A. Dale made a
short talk in which he stated that it
was found on adding the various
pledges from this county that nearly
$3.50 had been raised and that he felt
justified in saying that Maury county
would next year give $500 to organic
ed Sunday school work.
H. o. Fulton made a brief talk In
which he explained why the delegates
had not been entirely entertained in
the homes OF the city. He said that
the orders had come from Sunday
school headquarters that the Harvard
plan" was to be adhered to, and that
this was over the protest of Colum-
bans, who wanted to give the dele
gates three meals day and lodging
as well.
President Haffaker made short adj
dress in which he expressed his APP
probation Of the honor accorded him
by his reelection as president, and
stated that he would strive to dis
charge the duties of the position. Fer
sonally, he said, he had asked that
some other man should be given the
place, but that as the convention felt
differently he would do all within his
power for the development Of organ
lied work in the state Mr.. Haffaker
spoke feelingly.
J. Shreve Durham also made a brief
address in which he expressed apre-
citation of the personal benefit he had
received from attending this conven-
ton. He also read short article, the
subject of which was "Wanted-A
Man"
Other short addresses were made,
and the convention adjourned sine die
to the singing of God be with you till
we meet again. the benediction being
by Rev. P. B. Brownlow,
"the oldest minister present"

This conference concerns every man engaged

personal sacrifice may be demanded to attend
this conference is apparent because of the Old
Dominion's undeveloped water power, mineral
resources and agricultural interests.
Virginia men have always been leaders, and
it may be that in this conference the delegates
named by Governor Mann may furnish 10 their
colleagues a more feasible plan for the develop
ment of the South as an industrial section than
has vet been evolved.
The Congress wants to know where and how
to put its best foot foremost, and it asks progress

The how. If the Congress is not the best means
of emphasizing to the world at large the great

South and to quicken Southerners TO activity,
