force of modern trade machinery to be
used for the purpose of forcing prices
downward.

HIGH PRESSURE DAYS

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the de-
mands of business, the wants of the fam
fly. the requirements of society, more
numerous. The first effect of the praise
worthy effort to keep up with all these
things is commonly seen in a weakened
or debilitated condition of the nervous
system, which results in dyspepsia, de-
fective nutrition of both body and braln'
and in extreme cases in complete nervous
prostration. 1t is clearly seen that what
is needed is what will sustain the sys-
TEN. give vigor and tone TO the nerves
and keep the digestive and assimllatNe
functions healthy and active. From per-
sonal knowledge. we can recommend
Hoods Sarsapsrilla for this purpose. IL
acts on all the vital organs, builds up
the whole system. and fits men ana
women for these high-pressure days.

Important Resolutions are
Passed at Closing Session
of Southern Anti-SalOon
League Convention - Elec-
ton of Officials Who Will
Support Prohibition Law I'M
portant

important resolutions were adopted on
Monday morning at the concluding ses-
sion of the Southern Anti-Saloon league.
There are ten sections of the resolutions.
They urge national prohibition, among
other things, and insist on the electlon
OF public officers who will enforce the
prohibition laws. They follow in full:
The group OF resolutions introduced and
adopted follow:
Resolved !. That the legalized beverage
LIQUOR traffic is a community, state and
national sin, and we pledge ourselves
anew to fight for its complete extinction
i'm county, town, state and nation.
Resolved 3 That law enforcement Is
equally as important as law enactment
and we urge our people to elect only
those men to public Office who will strict
ly enforce the law -s
Resolved s. That we rejoice in the
great work that has been done by the
church of Christ in the destruction of the
legalized traffic in our southern country.
This work of the church has been phe-
nomenaI in its success and has placed The
south in the leadership of the nation on
this great moral question. We look with
full and undated confidence TO the same
church of Christ to lead in the settle
ment OF this great moral question entire
~ apart from personal and political al
fliation and to wage an unrelenJing war
fare against the lawlessness of sensual
appetite ard greed.
Resolved 4. That we earnestly petition
the governing bodies of our several re-
ligious denomination to make emphatic
declarations of the fact that we have
reached a new stage in this holy war,
and that there is, in consequence, a fresh
call to the ministry and laity, which call
will require even deeper conservation to
our Lord, and will carry with it more
complete remuneration OF our personal in
terests and will involve a clear state
ment and social business and political
relations.
Resolved 3. That our people are warn
ed against the efforts of designing poll
ticians TO use the Anti-Saloon league as
a political asset. We must not allow our
organization to be drawn into side is
sues, which are not directly involved IN
our fight against the liquor traffic.
Resolved s. That We recognize the
great influence of the press for good or
i'll. We rejoice in the fact that many
OF the magazines and weeklies and an
increasing number OF the dailes are fair
10 the temperance cause. We deeply re-
gret however. that wherever the temper
ance question becomes acute, the wet
newspa pers become more hostile in their
attitude and more disreputaDle in their
methods. and we warn the temperance
people everywhere that the liquor traffic

COUNTY CLOCK WINDER QUITS
LIFELONG JOB IN DISGUST

called the attention of the board inti-
mating that he was good and tired OF
the job because he had to hire negro
TO turn the crank which wound -
tower clock and had to pay the man
out of his own meagre salary.
Mr.. Forrest Adair paid a pretty trib-
ute to the faithful services of Mr.. Bry-
an. which, he said, had stretched over
a quarter of a century; he declared that
Mr.. Bryan was not only the Official
clock winder," but that he was an ex-
pert clock repairer as we'll, and that it
would be better to raise his salary rather
than dispense with his services.
Thus thought all of the board, so a
pleasant note was sent Mr.. Bryan telling
him the commission liked him too well
to let hi mresign, and that his salary
would be raised from IS per month to SO.
