by the neck until he is dead and no one questions the right of sovereign state to punish the lawless and so no one can question Gods right to pun ish the impeniteret violaters of this law, and I am sure the Judge of all the earth will do right and will send no one to hell who ought no to go there
 T am of the opinion that no one need go to He'll unless he just will not go to Heaven where God and the good awe. What else could God do, if a man will not take him into his life, will not respect his law, put to send him away from his face. Maybe Hell is nothing more than punishment from God, but how ineXpressibly terrible is that?
 "The word of God is the only source of information on the subjects Of Hell ard Heaven says Rev. Whiting ton. Mems opinions amount to no- thing unless they be based on the bible, for lack of authority. I ceuld explain Hell away I would do it.
 T cannot. The only source of authority We have declares it to be iadt, a woman says "i hate the yety f tNsi |, oh of hell co do nooct na0rIa yVo hate the thought of snakes, but that dces not dc away with them. They still crawl and bite. We hate the thought of electric chairs, gallows and murderers, but they exist just the same.
 Now the bible does not tell us ex- aetly what nell is but it does tell us some things about it. It teaches that hell is a place of torment. Tn hell he lifted up his eyes being i'm tor ment. Luke 16-23, place of pun ishment. These shall go away into everlasting punishment Matt 25-46. Tae bible does not say that hell is natural tire, bu6 it does teach that 1t is real and that ought to be enough. Whether hell is literal, natural fire CT not We do not know and We do not think any man does, but if God eays in his word that it is a place of tor meat or q ernal punishment. that i8 enough to cCnynce me that we don't want to go there. We may never knsw just what he'll is but we know enough about it to not want to go there.
 ! Yes, I sometimes think there is a foretaste of he'll on earth as tllere is of heaven. Sin makes the human conscience burn as a flame In the brother, the dive, the drunkards home, the divorce court, the prison, the electric chair, and the galIows ard in the Ives of ungodly men and women the fires of hell are continually burning"

DELIVERS FINAL
 BLOW TO JOKER"
ATTORNEY GENERAL NORWOOD DECLARES NO COUNTY HAS RIGHT TO rNITItTE
 LAW.
Will Advise Secretary of State Not to Certify Out Local Acts
 Already Initiated.

Attorney General Hal l.. Norwood delivered the final knockout blow to the joker of the initiative and ref erndum amendment to the constitu- ton yesterday when he held that no county has the right to initiate law, whether it is in conflict with the gen. eral laws of the State or not. The attorney general did not give an off cial opinion to this effect, but he stated that he would advise Secre- tary of State Hodges not to certify out to the election commissioners any of the county measures which have been initiated.
 This ruling will affect directly three local measures, which have Daen prk lished and whiah, it has supposed would be submitted, as they were not rendered invalid by the decision of the Supreme Court rendered last Monday. One of these proposed measures pro- vides for the abolishing of the District Court at DeVall's Bluff in Prairie county The two others affected pro- vide for the elimination of lndeRend- encea and sharp counties from the Northeast Arkansas Tick Eradication district.
 County Without Authority.
 Attorney General Norwood holds that no county has any authority, either under the initiative and refer endum amendment to the constitution, or the enabling act, to initiate any measure. The Supreme Court held that the constitutional amendment did not give counties the right to ini- { tiate measures, whether in conflict with the general laws of the state or not. but the court did not pass upon tAe authority conveyed by the enab- s Ing act.

WAL TER LITTLE

LTHOUGH Walter Little is no

n LIHOUGH Walter Little is no
n champion, it seems to me
that the Dixie A. c. has
made a good move in securing him
as an opponent for Frank Mcmahon
at the show Wednesday night. For
q year Walter has been hanging
around these diggings trying to get
a scrap. He has challenged every
man Of his weight who has fought
here, yet he has never been able to
land a bout until now
Little sure has q heap of stick
toitness" and has insisted right
along that he would stay here in
Atlanta until he was given a
chance. In the meantime, ne has
trained faithfully, and Wednesday
night he is going to>do his utmost
to prove to local boxing fans that
he is as good as any lightweight
who has displayed his wares here
abouts of late
Little claims that the club has
promised to stage him with Tommy
- HNCelt III tllS near future II ne
gets away with Mcmahon. Little
has always believed that he could
best O'Keefe, stunt which if he
accomplished would earn him a
chance against the very best 133-
Founders in the country.
Mcmahon is an unknown quaint
ty to yours truly He has some
clippings that show he has won a
number of battles. He is a husky
looking young man, but II is i'm
possible to get a true line on him.
Whether or not the main bout is
q winner, the rest of the card sizes
up swell In the semi windup Tom
my Lavelie and Eddie Hanlon clash.
Both are sluggers, and somebody
is likely to drop before the eighth
round is reached.
Spider Britt, the best fighter Of
his inches in this city, Will hook up
with All Smith, the boy who stopped
Meyer Prizes the other night. This
mill should be q peacherine. 1t is
scheduled to go six rounds.
The card will be opened with
four-round setto between those two

lucky enough to see the last scrap
between this pair will certainly be
on hand again Wednesday night.

~ in this section of the South,
is strictly up against it for
outdoor winter sports, a fact that
is neither new nor startling. but so
forcible that it looms strong the
minute the whistle has sounded the
end of the football season.
Outside of the chosen few who
are fortunate enough to be able to

the city becomes a morgue as far

Right here basket ball, the only
indoor sport save poker, etc, that
has gained ground in the South,
gets off. but the person who has s.
hankering for ozone and balks at
the steam heat and fetid confines
of gymnasium is at the end of his

He has his choice of the festive

that may lead to the development

track athletics. This latter is as
true an amateur sport as foot
ball.
