Fortune Teller Tells
Where Stolen Horses are.

The Labor Herald says: "On
Wednesday of last week Miles Scd-
berry hired a saddle horse at Louis
Burch's livery stable in Elvins,
stating at the time ne was gOiug to
visit his mother in Esther and that
he would be back in Il couple of
hours. When he failed to show up
Wednesday evening, Burch became
alarmed and swore out warrant
for his arrest charging him with
stealing the horse. The sheriffs of
several neighboring counties were
telephoned to be on the lookout for
Sedberry. Burch then got in COM
munication with Mrs. Josie Forbes,
the famous Wayne county fortune
teller. She Informed him that Sed-
berry had disposed of the horse at
Yount's store In Perry county, near
the Madison county line. 1t after
wards developed that she was cor
rect. Sedberry sold Burch's horse
and three others with 1t ut Yount's
store, and received n check for S345
in payment for same. When ar
rested Friday night at Slabtown he
had the money in his possession"

The mosquito is already in evil
dence around town, and ii is the
chief distributor of germs and di.
sense. The Board of Health should
insist on plentiful use of coil in all
the cess pools and open water bar
rels, which are breeding places for
these pests. The request has been
made that this statement should he
repeated so as to impress people
with its Importance to health and
safety.

THE REVIVAL AT THE
NJ. E. CHURCH, SOUTH

The revival at the Southern
Methodist Church is attracting much
attention and interest. The church
Is crowded nightly to listen to the
songs of Zion by a well organized
choir under the direction Of til,
evangelistic singer, Mr.. Robert
Lear, in which the large congrega-
ton joins with spirit, and to hear
Rev. w. G. Swopc, the popular evan
gelist, who holds the closest atten-
tiOn Of his audience from the begin
ming to the closing of his discourses.
Rev. Swope is not of the usual type
OF evangelist. He Is not pulpit
orator in the ordinary acceptation
of the term-that is, there is no eff
fort in his talks at oratorical flights
or attempt to excite his audience by
impassiuncd speech and gesture and
posing attitude. He talks straight
along, rapidly burt clearly, In an
even, pleasing tone, and with words
so graphic and well chosen that the
picture he essays to draw is pre-
sented to the minds eye in clear,
bold and impressive outline. His
face wears the look of gentle, smil-
ing kindliness and frankness which
we are wont to associate with good
ness of heart and love for our fell
lowmen, and while he does not hesi-
tate to call n spade spade in speak
ing of the frailties of humanity and
the sins that so easily bcset us,
there is no sting OF bitterness in it
only the inspiration OF desire to
turn away from them. Go and hear
him, 1t will do you good. Services
everyday at 2:30 p. IN. and 1:3O p. IN.

In fact, this paper believes that a
Jury OF Newport News citizens-taking
II for granted that the necessary num-
Der could quality before the court to
serve on the iury-could try the de-
fendsnts on the evidence as fairly as
a jury from anywhere. But as the
people of this city are peculiarly In

we are glad that Judge Barham gave

..IF."


Advocates of the proposed amend
ment to the constitution allowing
treasurers to succeed themselves in
definitely contend that If payment OF
the poll tax were not a prerequisite
to the right to vote treasurers would
not have so much Objectionable poiiti-
cal power in their hands. Undoubted-
ly This is so. But there is no argu-
ment for the amendment in this fact,
because everybody knows that the
payment OF the poll tax is pre-requi-
site to the right to vote.
Perhaps the opportunity given treas
urers TO use improper means to secure
their own reelection to Office is good
ground for argument against with
holding the franchise from persons
who do not pay their poll taxes. But
the 'if' surely can not be used 10
support the amendment. That would
be putting the cart before the horse.
