BODY OF DROWNED

FLORENCE COURTS OPEN

Florence, September 6.-(Special.)- The body of Miss Emma Sanderson, one of the young ladies who was drowned in the Tennessee river Sunday after noon, four miles above Florence, was found at Il o'clock this morning float ing on the water in front of the Flor ence Wagon works, a short distance from where the two girls went down locked in a tight embrace. The body covered though every effort possible is being made to that end.
 The entire community was greatly shocked by the news of Sundays trag- edy.
 Miss Rosa Miller and Miss Emma Eanderson of East Florence aged 17 and IS, were drowned Sunday after noon near Jones' Landing, four miles above Florence, in the Tennessee river when the gasoline launch, in which they were riding, struck a rock and spit open.
 The launch belonged to Arthur Sander ron and he and Walter Miller were talk ing their sisters for a ride.
 The boys each caught his sister and had almost reached the bank when the cur rent washed them together and the girls seized each other. They all four sank and the boys, exhausted. lost hold of the girls. The boys managed to rise to the surface and were rescued by a man in a Dkiff but the girls did not rise and the last seen of them they were locked in each others arms.
 Walter Miller was almost drowned and 1t was several hours before he was able to speak.
 Wires have been stretched across the river at intervals as far down as the Southern bridge and an expert diver is at work. The bodies have not yet been

introduction. The same hand, with
the same tremble, he uses to grasp the
hand extended toward him by Miss
Refs, and to move 1t up and down
few times (Know this, Kliuppo, that
this is the ridiculous manner of greet
ing in America).
The rather contemptuous, half-
amused glance which Miss Refs be-
slows upon him does not serve to rec
tify the defect in Abe's circulation

To the intense surprise of Miss Refs
he sits down upon the davenport, very
very close to her. Merciful heavens,
he has his arm around her waist!
Once started, there is no hesitation,
and he keeps right on in the most ap'
proved style. Dearest, / love you,
Will you accept me as your husband?

might call this commandment lire
protection measure The other inter
pretation refers to the ancient custom
of causing a son and daughter to pass
through the fire to Moloch, an ancient
sacrifice to the fire-god. The purpose
of the Mosaic code was to keep the
people from the customs of the ma
lions round about, and so to keep
away the people from any contact with
this Moloch worship, even fire on the
SABBATH day was prohibited.
There is no intimation here that the
Jew who observes the Sabbath day by
closing his store and dedicating the
day to rest and worship is in the
wrong. In fact the Sabbath day was
observed by Jew and Christian till the
year 321 A. D., when the Roman en-
peror Constantine, decreed that Chris
tianity should keep a rest-day, the
dies solis"-the day of the sun. The
oretically the Jew is in the right;
practically, owing to economical reas-
ons, we can not carry out the Sabbath
idea and dedicate the day to rest and
worship. The Ghetto Jew in the old
country may observe the Sabbath in
junction of working six days and rest
ing on the seventh. Economical reas-
ons force the Jew in this country and
other lands to work on the Sabbath
day, and it is Pigment of magma,
tion on the part of anyone to claim
that he is observing the Sabbath when
the attendance at the temple for va
rious reasons is so small that it is
best not to give any sermon or lee
ture. If there is any basis for bring
ing IOSeLner all SHADES OF opinion,
where there will be no need of juggling
any trying to please all. Yes, it is
the prophetic injunction: "And now
what doth the Lord thy God require of
thee but to do justice, love, mercy
and walk humbly with thy God"
Doing Justice" is the most essential
element of life, and without justice
the world would fall to pieces. What
would be the use of body of men
making laws and regulations for it's
guidance If these laws are cast to
the wind and precedents are of no ac-
count?" The brayado which would
from the housetops shout out that
with impunity' it has rough-shod it
over a law, may live to regret it.

"a GOOD MIXER"
By Rabbi Holman j. Elbin of Beau
mont, Texas.
nurmured YES"

The English language adapts itself
to conditions and environments in
manner which must excite wonder
ment and establishment. 1t is for this
reason that it has been asserted, and
we think correctly, that the universal
language OF the world viii one day be
the English A language to win uni
yersal assent must find its life-roots
in the consciousness Of a people. Els
peranta and Volapuk lack this es
sential element while cur English
tongue possesses it in remarkable
degree. Take for illustration wire
less telegraphy. The difficulties were
two-fold. Originally all the words con
nected with telegraphy were of Greek
origin; and as if this were not diff
Guilty enough, Marconi, the disooverer
of wireless telegraphy", is an Ital-
ian. And yet we read that the words
and terms of the English nomenclature
of wireless telegraphy" is considera-
BILE one and needs time and appiica-
tion to master it. Some minds are
POSSESSED of this same faculty of alb
serbing the best possessed by their en-
Vironments. The English tongue pos
sesses that happy faculty of taking to
itself the vital principles of a peo-
pie and language, removed thousands
of miles from us! Not only the science
but also the religious life is being
daily enriched by the mintage Of
new words to express new ideas. 1t
would indeed require forevision, such
"a we do not claim, however hap
pg We might be in its possession, to
Toretell whether such phrase as good
mixer will live in the vocabulary of
requirements in one who would occu-
ny the pulpit. Not few newspapers
have commented on the expression in
very strong language and criticism
Some think that the use of such an
advertisement is symtomatic of moral
aegeneracyT ON the part of a com

in many a day.
New conditions in the religious world
better expression to use might have
been "reconciler," which would have
very accurately answered the condi-
tons which obtain in many congre-
cation made up of orthodox and re-
form elements. And yet the express
sion good mixer" is not bad one,
as those will acknowledge who on a
sultry day with their club.members
drink those concoctions with some
strawberries or cherries floating on
the top prepared by the "mixologist."
In accordance with the ideas sug-
gested by some of the criticisms on
this expression, good mixer" is one
who can bring together all shades of
opinion and give sermons and lee
lures that shall please both orthodox
and reform. Conditions perhaps ne
cesstate such performance. Jug
Cling is a difficult feat and the few
est perhaps are capable of blowing
hot and cold at the same time. For
years the orthodox Jew of Russia has
been coming over to this country and
run easily into the figures, perhaps
approaching, if not surprising, the
number seven AT any rate, the or
thodoX Jew is numerically strong
enough to influence the status of a
congregation Hence the need of a
good mixer" who shall speak agree
ably to both sides of the house.
Whether it can be done is another
matter Let us take for Illustration
two of the most important differences
between orthodox and reform Juda-
ism-the Sabbath and the dietary laws.
The dietary laws of the ancient rab-
bis have their origin in a Mosaic law
Thou shalt not seethe a kid in it's
mothers milk From these Mosaic
words wara1 daducad rao,,1ot;one ond
laws Of dietetic value, very good and
valuable, but reform Judaism will not
admit that a pot and pan" religion
is the motive and intent of Mosaicism,
and while undoubtedly the home would
be hygenically saner if these laws of
dietetic value were enforced, research
and comparative study of different an
cient nations have conclusiVely shown
that these Mosaic words would in
hibit the practice of a very brutal Gus
tom which consisted in boiling the
young kid in it's mothers milk, sac
rilice to some idol. And akin to this
difference is the one which obtains
with regard to the Sabbath. The
prophet calls the Sabbath delight,
oneg,' and it is owing to a misinter-
probation of Mosaic command that
we today have Sabbath waich would
prohibit all amusement. Moses com,
manded, 'Ye shall not make fire in
your dwelling places on the Sabbath
day These words were supposed tc
mean that labor was forbidden on the
Sabbath day, although one ancient
rabbi stated that broad truth "Hasha
