that she was not here, as the negro
preacher said, to expound the uneX-
Formidable or to explain the uneX-
plainable or uncrew the unscrutable,
but to talk about things people with
Just ordinary sense could understand.
The prohibition law does not say
people shall not drink liquor, but
that they shall not sell it. AS far as
the law is concerned man can drink
anything and everything he wishes.
Mrs. Armor said that the wreck OF
the Titanic was directly due to the
drinking of champagne by the cap
tain and some of the officers on duty.
The effect of this highly intoxicating
drink was to make Captain Smith,
otherwise a careful and capable man,
to give the reckless order, put on
full steam and drive ahead" after
he had been told of the icebergs. 1t
blurred his judgment and made MIN
feel that his ship was inyincible. Inc
man in the "crow's nest" was not
sober and did not give the necessary
warning. But when Captain Smith
saw that he had made the mistake
which sent 500 people to the bot
tom of the sea he pulled himself
together grandly and died nero

A home wedding of interest TO
many friends was that of Miss Ellen
Bartlett and Mr.. T. K. Cobb Satur-
day evening at the home of the
brides parents on Stonewall street.
1t was a very quiet affair, only few
friends and relatives being present.
The hall and parlor were decorated
almost entirely with pot plants.
Handsome ferns were used, and in
the parlor they were banked to form
an altar, in front of which the bride
and groom stood. White roses in
vases combined prettily with the
green. Rev. E. F. Morgan oficiated.
The bride wore a coat suit of gold
en- brown with hat to match. The

men die magnificently and multiplied
heroism by individual hundreds.
Must Die For 1t.
She said the same principle must
be applied to the fight on the hquor
traffic. 1t is a hard, persistent, DAN
gerous life and death struggle and
men must be willing not only to sac
rifce their time, money and popular
ity for it, but actually to die for 1t,
because it means the protection OF
the home, the happiness and the very
life of the women and children.
Christians, citizenize yourselves ana
take your religion to the ballot BOX,
she exclaimed.
One of her most eloquent passages
was a burst of pity and sympathy for
the drinking man who feels his slaV-
cry to the habit yet struggles to free
himself. She had twice as much re-
spect for him as she had for the
liouor seller. That man would go
to the polls and vote the dry ticket
because he wanted to protect those
who come after him. He was like
the poor conductor in a wreck. Pinn-
ed down under the cars, bleeding,
burning, rapidly dying in. agony, he
called to the brakeman, Sam, run
ahead with that red light and flag
the coming train, or they'll be on us
directly"
Mrs. ArmOr's addresses were in
terspersed with beautiful quotations
from the Bible, poetry and literature.

LARGE AUDIENCES HEAR TWO
STRONG ADDRESSES FOX TILE
PROHIBITION CAUSE.
SAYS TPPIN'S BILL LYNCHED

I'm 4ys ~ Vi !M2as.
Pronunciation of the Liquor Traffic
scintillated With Pathos, Satire
o,d Wit Declared Titanic Disas-
ter Was Due to Champagne.
Mrs Mary Harris Armor delivered
two strong addresses in Dawson sun
dav in the interest of the prohibition
oo,se The first was at the Metho-
dis+ church at II o'clock and the
second was at the Baptist church in
the evening, and at both services
representative people practically hll-
ed all available space.
Mrs. Armor held her hearers spell
bound as with telling logic, pathetic
tenderness and singing satire scin-
tillating with wit she pleaded for a
christian citizenship that would clear
Georgia forever from the blight of
tho Houor traffic. We must christ
ianize the citizen and citizenize the
christian. she said, and prohibition
will naturally follow. 1t is as much
q mans religious duty to vote right
as if is to go church on Sunday and
pray.
The Tippins Bill.
The Tippins bill has been assassi-
mated. said Mrs. Armor. She was at
the capital and listened interestedly
to all discussions about the bill. She
pointed out what she characterized
as weaknesses in the arguments by
those who opposed the bill, some
times in laughable ridicule and again
in burning irony.
MANY people thought Gov. Brown
was so eloquent and knew so much
about the Bible when he said in veto
ing the Tippins bill that he was like
Jeptha," she said of the governor.
DO you know who Jeptha was?
He was man who made
fool VOW, and was a bigger fool to
keen it. and Gov. Brown says he
is lust like him Jeptha's VOW caused
him to murder his loving, innocent
daughter. He would have been hang
ed for it in this day and time. In
yetoing this bill Gov. Brown takes
upon himself the responsibility of
all the blood that shall be shed be-
cause of the drink dispensed, all the
pain and sorrow and disgrace"
