LIQUOR SHIPMENTS
INTO DRY STATES
SUBJECT OF BILL
SUCH REGULATION OF CON-
MERGE MAY PASS SENATE
THIS SESSION.
PROVISIONS Are SET FORTH
If Bill Should Pass 1t Provides That
When Goods Are Received In a
State They Become Subject to the
Laws of the State.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25.-
The introduction of bill in the
United States senate by Senator
Newell Sanders prohibiting inter-
state shipments of liquors, and his
activities in it's behalf during the
past two weeks has at last brought
action by the senate judiciary COM
mittee on proposed temperance leg
islation, and what is now known as
the Responsiveness bill is to be up
in the senate in the next few days.
AS stated it has been adopted by the
senate committee, which is taken as
every indication that it will pass the
senate at this session.
The fact that the Jones-Works bill
regulating the liquor business IN the
District of Columbia passed the SEN
ate recently by a decisive vote, and
is now pending in the house, is re-
garded ass ignifying that the Ken
yon-Sanders bill will lpass easily.
Senator Sanders is highly gratifed
over the action that has been taken
by the senate judiciary committee
and is now working hard to bring
about this legislation. He has can
vassed the senate and feels that there
is every reason to believe that the
Kenyon-Sanders bill will pass.
If it does pot pass this session 1t
will remain on the calendar for &C
ton at the next regular session, be-
ginning in December. The bill pro-
vides in short, that shipments of liz
uor into dry territory shall be pro-
hibited, that upon reaching one state
from another that liq',o.s s,asll be
subject to the laws of the state into
which it is shipped.
The bill is as follows as acted upon
favorably by the committee:
ITO prohibit interstate commerce
in intoxicating liquors in cases.
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in congress as
sembled:
THAT the shipment and transpor
tation in any manner or by any
means whatever of any spiritnous
yinous, matted, fermented or othel
intoxicating liquors of any kind, in
Guiding beer, ale or wine, from one
state, territory or district OF the

PEOPLE WHO STAY
AMAY FROM CHURCH
AND WHY THEY STAY
SUBJECT FOR A DISCOURSE AT
FIRST CUMBERLAND CHURCH
SUNDAY MORNING.
HUMN NATURE ALWAYS SAME
A Catalogue of Those Whose Absence
Is Notable and Noticeable, and
Citation Of the Prophets on the
Neglect of the Church.

Speaking with Hebrews 1925 as a
text and people Who Stay Away
From Church and Why" as a subject
On which to apply the text, Rev. F..
4. Birkett addressed his congregation
Sunday morning.
The sermon was less severe on
those who do not attend church with
regularity than would naturally be
expected, coming from the pulpit
The preacher first mentioned the
number of times preacher stands
before his congregation in the run of
a year, referring to the Sunday
school, two sermons on Sunday, the
mid-week prayer meeting service and
the number of other occasions he Is
called on. Then he asked how many
Of his hearers had attended all these
meetings during the past year, the
sum total of the services he men
toned being 1872.
Mr.. Birkett said that human nature
had been practically the same all
through the ages of time from Adam
to the present day, and cited the in
quiry of the prophet jeremiah, why
is the house of God forsaken?" as ev-
idence of the fact that the sanctuary
has been more or less neglected in all
ages.
Unfortunately there is vital diff
ference between the church and the
working man. Manual laborers are
not found in the church largely on
account of the treatment accorded
them at the church, which creates in
him an unwelcome feeling" The
speaker deprecated this condition and
! advised the Christians that there
should be remedy and this remedy
was in the reach of the church and
its regular attendants.
Among the list of those who did
not attend were mentioned the man
who expends all his energy during
the week in the transaction of his
BUSINESS, the man who has so much
business that he allows it to lap into
| Sunday, the man whose labor is re
CURED in the operation of many Of
the necessary enterprises, those
hose deeds are made manifest by
the minister and do not want to hear
the truth about themselves, those
who have to stay at home with the
smaller children since the edicts Of
the present day deny the children the
privilege Of the sanctuary, the sick
end their attendants.
| The minister said that each mar
would have to answer to himself and
to higher power for his failure tt
properly attend the services at the
house of God, and that it was the du
! ty Of the minister to present the
views and the public to settle wheth
err it can give a satisfactory reason
| for this apparent negligence.

Opportunity.

opportunity knocks and we just LEI

For if you have money why Should

Is the high toned reasoning of Mag.

"YOu robbed them 10y force while we

And so now my dear Captain let's

Two Good Sermons.

Rev. o. P. Bush, of Louisville
preached two sermons in the Baptist
Church, this city, last Sunday. They
were pointed, clear and forceful anG
invigorating to those who had an at.
tentive ear. In the forenoon his sub.
ject, "Who is my neighbour" develop
ed mans duty to man ip an unusually
interesting way and measured the
highest service to our Creator. The
afternoon service Spirit and life vas
the theme and was presented in a
manner that left its impress in the
minds and hearts OF the audience.
The church is without a pastor and
Mr.. Bush was here on invitation.
Most favorable expressions are heard
from those who heard him as man of
thought, forceful delivery and spiritu-
ality.

Changes Mind. ..Weds Old Lover.

It's yoman's-privilege to change
her mind. Because of her having ex-
erciSed that privilege, Mrs. James E.
Morton, of Pelleyton, KY, doesn't
happen to be Mrs. r. Titus Thompson
to-day.
Mrs. Morton until yesterday after
noon was Miss Gay Roberts. On Dec.
"a, next, she was to have married
Thompson, She told her flance of an
old lover, one Jim" Morton, who
was out West.
''IfI conld just get those letters
back l wrote to jim, am sure would
be perfectly happy with you, Titus, -
said Gay.
Well, Titus wrote to Jim. I've are
engaged, Gay and l" the letter ran.
land we would consider it splendid of
you if you returned those letters"
That gave Morton an idea. He
Would return those letters in person.
He did. He footed" it East.
He talked to Gay. He found her win
some.
In fact, she was prettier than she
used TO be. 1t took little to rekindle
the fires of the old love
You know, ''said Jim, you were
my sweetheart first"
Yes, that'strue, Gay was forced
10 admit.
Thai She wanted to admit it devel-
oped yesterday when Morton and Mss
Roberts were married at Jefferson

Why Do Men Advertise?

The man who conducts his business
on the theory that it doesn't pay and
he can't afford to advertise, sets up
Judgment in opposition to that of all
the business men in the world. SAYS
an experienced advertising authority.
with few years in conducting a
small business on a few thousands of
capital, he assumes to know more
than the thousands whose hourly
transactions aggregate more than his
do in year, and who have made their
millions by pursuing a course that he
says doesn't pay"
If advertising doesn't pay, why is it
that the most successful merchants of
every town, large or small, are the
heaviest advertisers? If advertising
doesn't pay, why do business firms in
the world spend millions in that way?
Is it because they want to donate
those millions to the newspaper and
magazine publishers, or because they
don't know as much abont business as
the Six-for-a-dollar merchant who says
money spent in advertising is money
thrown away or donated to the man
to whom it is paid.
Such talk is simply ridiculous, and
it requires more than the average pa
thence to discuss the proposition of
whether advertising pays or not with
that kind of a man. His complacent,
self-conceit in assuming that he
knows more than the whole world is
laughable and reminds US of the man
who proved that the world doesn't re-
volve by placing a pumpkin on a
stump and watching it all night.

Watch 1913.

Laughed at by some and called old
fashioned by others, the old almanac
is still interesting to many, and the
1918 almanac contains even more lin
formation" than usual. One of them,
just issued, indicates 1913 is going to
be somewhat the whole thing in years,
if its number is trifle Objectionable.
One learns that the year 1913 COM
prises the latter part of the 18th sand
the beginning of the 13Sth year OF
American independence and that the
first of January is the 2,419,76 day
since the commencement of the Ju-
liam Period. All this is interesting,
of course, but the events scheduled
for 1913 are more so. The eclipse
family is evidently to be feared. There
will be five of these, "now-you-See-it-
On March % a
total eclipse of the moon will occur.
April partial eclipse of the sun is
announced. September 18th the moon

Der 20, 1913, the sun will give the
Orientals and jewellers of the islands
of the sea a treat by sinking into
darkness. Easter Sunday falls on
March %. Gladstone spring rollicks
in two days before that. There's
regular bugaboo day on the schedule
for 1913. Every one should have a
rabbits foot handy for Friday, June
13, 1913. This is a combination to be
feared by all superstitious persons.
According to the almanac, the usual
amount of moonlight will be turned
on during 1913 for the benefit of young
Sweethearts. There will be more
tornadOes than usual in Missouri,
Iowa, the Dakotas and Minnesota.
On March 4, when the new President
Of the United States is due to be in
augurated, heavy fogs will envelop
d. c., according to the
almanac. The govern ment weather
bureau may think differently, but it
will be remembered that the govern
ment bureau was nearly put out of
business because it got "off wrong" at
the last Inauguration.

Good Bye to the Crawfords.

1t is a source of general regret that
Columbia is to give the parting hand
to Rev. ]. R. Crawford, his estimable
companion and six interesting daught-
ers who are to take their departure
for Winchester, KY, next Thursday.
Rev. Crawford having accepted a call
from the Presbyterian Church that
city.
Sunday forenoon and evening Rev.
Crawford preached his two last regu-
ar discourSeS here, the church being
we'll filled upon both occasions, repre-
.SentativeS from all denominations at
tending. Out of respect for the de-
parting minister, Rev. ]. II. Chandler,
pastor of the Methodist church. call
ed in disappointment for Sunday even
ming and his flock worshipped with the
Presbyterians.
Rev. Crawford is a minister Of rec
OniZed ability and is always interest
ing, but in delivering his two last dis
courses, he seemed TO be at his best.
The sermons were strong, touching and
pointed, commanding the closest at
tentiOn.
During his four years stay IN Co
lUmbia many new members have been
added 10 the congregation, perfect
harmony has prevailed at all time.
hence il is hard TO part with a pastor
whose four years work has been
crowned with success, perfect tran
guilty reigning throughout.
The shaking Of the hand is a serious
thing and the words good bye are
hard to say, but our people trust that
Rev. Crawford and his family will be
permitted to visit Columbia in the
future and mingle with the many
staunch friends made during their
four years stay in our midst.
Since taking up their residence in
Columbia two of the daughters have
become grown-MiSses Mary and
Martha. They are popular with their
associates, and their bright faces to
gether with the younger daughters,
will be greatly missed.
In the departure OF Rev. Crawford
and his family Winchester gains and
Columbia loses.
