ty dry counties and more than three
thousand saloon licenses in the state
the league people claim. At the pres
ent time there are thirty-eight dry
counties and less than four hundred
saloons in West Virginia. Within that
time the code has been strengthened
so as TO make easily possible the en-.
forcemcnt Of law by the passage OF
a search and seizure law, and also the
statute making the ownership OF a
government tax receipt prlma facie
evidence that liquor is being sold.
The courts have recently ruled that
no Misunderstanding malt beveridge
can be sold in West Virginia without
the taking out OF a state license for
the sale OF intoxicating liquors.

SOME FACTS FOR

Ferrel and VIM. F. Palmer. The above
named committee proceeded TO put
the above gentlemen on the wet tick.
ct. Now we will ask the voters of
Mercer county to compare these gent
lemen with the parties who compose
the present ticket to be voted flr this
coming election in the Republican
party. Two years ago Senator Baker
turned down large petition from our
good people Of this state who asked
the privilege to vote upon the liquor
and barroom situation in our state.
One of Senator Bakers reasons for
not granting this privilege to the vo-
tiers OF our state was that the coal
operators could not keep men on
their works if they did not keep Wits
key and beer for thir men to drink.
But when they made up their ticket
they placed Senator Baker on the So
called dry ticket and placed DR. J. f..
Martin on the wet ticket against his
protest. During the number OF years
that w. p. Hawley has been on the
Bluefield city council he has voted
for the continuation OF saloons. yet
they take pleasure in placing VIM. ".
Doyle on the wet ticket and every
man who knows this man knows him
to be an accompanying enemy to the
sale OF whiskey in our county and
state, and the ballot committee took
pleasure in placing Mr.. Doyle on the
wet ticket and as eviden - that l., is
wet, they placed Herbert Y. Hunter
on the same ticket, who Is retired
liquor dealer i'm Bluefield. Mr.. Hun.
ter is a free man and has the right
to express himself on all political cues
tions and bear in mind that Mr.. w. p.
EIawley and Senator Baker were OF
the same opinion one year ago. Today
they say they are dry and opposed
TO saloons. Question, Question! Do
the good people of our county believe
that the conviction, conversion and
conservation OF these gentlemen are
true and genuine? We take the priv
ilege as honest voters. true Republi-
cans to say to the voters OF Mercer
county and state of West Virginia
that we do not believe I'm men who
are forced to say that they are dry
when IL is for the sake OF office.
In conclusion will say that the
gentlemen who were put on the dou.
BILE primary Republican ticket and
placed on the wet ticket, the Dol.
ters' ticket, the Democratic ticket.
or just anything that the Republican
ring Of Mercer county wanted to call
them, were badly treated and we be-
lieve that their friends will remember
them on the 9Th Of November and will
also remember the rascality OF the
ring of Mercer county and this entire
senatorial district

"HIS study follows the one OF
last week. IT also illustrates
the fact that Messiah at his
Second Advent, before appearing to
the world In power and great glory
and in the time OF trouble, will be
present amongst his consecrated peo-
pie and many OF them will know Of
his parousid, or presence" I'm this
time. He will do amongst them q
judging work-dcciding their rewards
In proportion TO their faithfulness. It
is well that we keep In memory the
difference between the parable OF the
pounds and the parable OF the talents
Both represented money. But talent
Is sixty times rs valuable as a pound
In the parable OF the pound each serv-
ant got one pound. but in the parable
OF the talents the numbers given va
rled. In some respects all OF Gods
people have one common footing and
common privilege OF service, as repre-
scented by the pound. In another re-
spect their opportunities. privileges
and advantages vary. US represented
In the present study, the parable Of
the talents.
This is another parable of the King
dom. The Great Teacher himself went
into the far country, even heaven; but
before departing he delivered unto his
servants certain blessings. privileges,
opportunities each according to
his several abilities" The beginning
OF this parable was In the days OF the
Apostles when Jesus assembled ND on
high and at Pentecost shed forth in
the Fathers name the holy spirit. com

of his followers, as represented in the
talents and opportunities OF each fol-

these servants have been making more
or less use OF their privileges and more
or less wisely exercising themselves to.

their talents, or used them In preach

A Cat Operation,

II saw something today that pushes
the limit" said young married man
who had just returned from the cat
and dog hospital. He had been there
to take his wife's pet cat, that had
broken her leg.
What was that?" naturally the wife
asked him.
"A cat that was being treated for a
mole on its nose. There wasn't thing
on earth the matter with the animal
except that it had tiny mole. The
owner Of the cat, fashionably dressed
young woman heavy with furs. said
it spoiled the animals beauty. Who
ever heard Of such thing? Torturing
a poor cat just to have a mole removed
from its nose."-New York Press.
