WARNS AGAINST NEW SYSTEM Of
LESSONS IN SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.

Bristol Tenn, May 22.--Further
warning against "the new system Of
graded lessons, being SO Industrious
ly and persistenly exploited by in
ter-denominational Sunday School
workers and interested publishers,
was given to the General Assembly
of the Southern Presbyterian church.
in session here, by the executive
committee of publication and Sun
day School work, which made Its
annual report today. Referring TO Il
similar warning sounded last year,
the committee said:
Our warning was effective in keep
ing a large majority of our schools
from adopting a system filleu with
insidious heresies and impossible of
effective use except in highly oy5an-
lied Sunday Schools, but we are sor
ry to report that in a large num0er
of our schools tn" series of helps,
offered by syndicate publication in
which the interests of other denom-
nations predominant, have been in
troduced."
In general, so far as the pubica
ton department of the committee
was concerned, the year was satls1ac-
tory, showing an increase in sales of
s16,0S5 over the year previous The
Richmond, Va, publishing house sold
books and periodicals to the amount
of $157,469, while the Texarkana
branch reported $44,577, making a
total Of $202,046 This amount Of
business is compared by the commit
tee with results since 1903, in which
year the sales tOtalled $43,5S7. Fail
ure of the churches to raise in full
the 100000 asked by the last as
sembly for the prosecution of the
work of extension of the Sunday
Schools, made it impossible, says the
report, for the committee to meet all
calls made upon it. Altogether $22,.
1894 was received. to which amount
the committee added $2,304.40 out
OF the profits of the PUBLISHING
house. During the past nine years
the committee has similarly contrib
uted total of s47.SO1 to the extern
sion work intrusted to it. In so do

Public Welfare Contest

These are times in which party
lines are being largely eliminated in
that different schools of thought are
being created with the two great
political parties, leaders are being ar
rayed against leaders and interne-
cine strife and contention prevail. 1t is
an alignment in which predatory priv
ilege is warning with the interests of
the people. Decisions OF courts, Of
quasi-judicial tribunals, rulings Of
commissions, acts of congress and
the various state legislatures are
having an anomalous result. The
people are discoftented, business is
stagnant, results are in doubt, peo-
pie are dubious. There are constant
ly arising new conditions, and rem
edies must be created to meet these
changing conditions.
In order to see just what the peo.
pie should do for their own good,
the ArdmoreIte opens the following
contest:
We will give two hundred and
fifty dollars in gold, or a diamond
medal of like value for the best pa.
per on the following question: Sup
pose you were possessed of arbitrary
authority to make law, what statutes
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1912-05-22

now existing would you repeal or
modify, and what new laws, rules
and regulations would you invoke,
having in view the interest of the
whole people?"
The manuscript must not contain
exceeding approximately three thou
sand words; all papers must be in
our office, with name and post office
signed thereto, not later than June
Is, accompanied by subscription
for one year for the daily Ardmore-
ite, which is five dollars, or its equiv
alent of five annual subscriptions to
the Weekly Ardmoreite. Renewals
may be used. The contest is open
to anybody, anywhere. All manu-
scripts must be legibly written, ana
only on one side of the sheet. This
is a most excellent opportunity for
those of original thought to an.
nounce their befefs or the remedies
to existing evils that affect the body
polite.
The contest is open to men and
women of thought in any state in
the union and of any political opin-
ion. The judging shall be done in
a manner in keeping with the merits
of the high order of the contest.

SAD ACCIDENT
MARS TWO HOMES
DROWNING OF TWO LITTLE
eoYs ADDED TO LONG LIST OF
SEASONS ACCIDENTS.

\ sad ending TO an afternoon
pleasure seeking, marked the homes
of two families in this city yester-
day. The pulseless remains OF ROB
ert Stacy, aged seven years, son o.
Mr. and Mrs Robert Stacy OF j.
street and Tenth avenue, nortAW est,
and those OF }. H. Ross, the ten year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ross OF \
street and Eleventh avenue, north
west, are awaiting burial toaay.
Yesterday afternoon, accompanied
by their mothers, the little fellows
started out for = few hours recrea-
tion. Playing along in front OF Their
mothers, picking up shells and oddly
shaped stones that struck their fan
cies, they came to the banks % th"
Santa Fe lake in the northern part
OF the city. Quite number of the
people living in the vicinity of the
lake We're fishing and, after watch
ing them for a while the little boys
climbed into boat that was rest
ing against the shores of the lake.
Beginning to rock the boat they soon
drifted from the shore Becoming
frightened when they saw that the
bot was drifting out in the lake they
began calling for held. Their mothers
ran up and giving way to excitement
one of them called TO the boys 10
jump, little dreaming of the depth OF
the water Gourteen feeD at the
point where the boat was drifting.
Hardening to the mothers cry to
Jump" one of the boys sprang into
the water and the other, regardless
of the warning shouts of bystanders
not to jump, followed him. They
both sank to the bottom, never 10
rise again in life.
This was late in the evening,
about six o'clock. Someone notified
the sherIfs office and police depart
ment by phone. The alarm spread
quickly and soon there were several
hundred people upon the banks of
the lake. Chief Braziel, Sheriff Gar
rett and Deputy Sheriffs John CHM
and W. w. Powers were among the
first to respond. When they got
there Mrs Stacy, who had sprung
into the water in a tren2ied endeavOr
to rescue her child, had been pulled
from the water after nearly drown
ing herself
About $50 the body of the Ross
child was recovered. brt it was not
until the arrival OF Boone Taliaferro
with drag lines equipped with elec-
trio lights for the purpose, that the
body of the little Stacy boy was re-
covered.
When taken from the water the
little Stacy child still had about his
neck the little satchel from which
he sold papers. This satchel was
filled with mussle shells and pretty
stones that had earlier in the even !
ing attracted his eye and appealed to
his childish fancy. 1t had helped to |
hold him to rhe bottom of the lake !
and prevented the small chance he |
lad of ever rising.
Funeral arrangements will be made |
ater this afternoon. 1t is possible !
hat !nterment will take place this
afternoon about O'Clock.

in Doubt

Cheyenne, Nov. G.-Returns are ex.

were that Wyoming would be very
close on president and United States
senator, and 1t will be impossible to
forecast the result accurately until
much fuller returns are in. Mondell,
Republican for congress, now leads
Fahey, Democrat, by about 500, but
the mining camps where Fahey is
strong have not been heard from.
These may cut down or eliminate Mon

will not have more than three or four
majority on joint ballot.

On account of the heavy vote cast
