Prohibition Ably Discussed
in Hattiesburg Churches

Yesterday at several of the churches
of Hattiesburg the day was given over
to the temperance workers.
Rev. G. w. Eichelberger, Superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League
filed the pulpit at the First Metho
dist church at II a. m. His subject
was Piercing the Great Armor" Mr..
Eichelberger paid his respects in no
uncertain terms to the whiskey ele-
ment, and stated in his address that
he had found four cities in the State
of Mississippi that possessed a high,
outward tone of morality, and he was
pleased to state that Hattiesburg was
one Of them. From reports that he
had gathered, he said the police and
county officials here are happily wag-
ing war on the blind tiger" He said
the officers a high compliment for the
work the are doing, and said it
is attracting attention in other parts
Of the state, where police vigilance
is not so great, nor law-enforcement
efforts so determined. He had before
him the prohibition measures that
were brought up before the recent
legislature and stated that he regret
ted to note that the lower house OF
representatives was not favored with
a prohibition representative from For
rest county, adding that the Second
district Senator, however, was an ar
dent supporter of every bill that had
for its purpose the strengthening Of
the present laws and the making Of
more binding ones.
The permanent organization of the
County AntiSaloon League was
perfected yesterday and includes 81
men selected from the various
churches, who at a later date will
meet and formulate a plan of worl
and appoint a representative in eacf

Quite a large crowd attended the
Central Christian church last night,
the subject being, "The Greatest Sin
of Hattiesburg," and the text taken
from l John $40, HE that believeth
not God, hath made him liar" The
speaker showed that communities,
ancient and modern, have always had
their besetting sin. Some communi-
ties have one sin that stands out from
all others and other communities
have other sins, hardly any two the
same. None of the evils that seem to
be the accompaniment of urban de-
velopment are much in evidence in
Hattiesburg. The speaker, who has
adopted Hattiesburg as his permanent
home, spoke in glowing terms of the
city and expressed his delight in hav-
ing been so fortunate as to locate
here.
The Greatest Sin of Hattiesburg,
he declared, is not the sin of civic
life or of the organized community
but it is the sin of the majority of the
individuals composing the community
In spite of the high moral plane upor
which the life of the community
moves, this sin rears its head in near
Ily every houshold. This great sin il
Lawlessness; people living as if ther'
were no God, no Christ; it is the sill
of Unbelief, and he quoted from al
editorial from the Daily News; "Be
liefs determine character. Righ
thinking makes right doing A CON
mon fault of our times is Unbeliet
We are suffering in our social deve
opment, in our educational uplift, i
our financial progress, because of lac
of faith in each other, and too littl
faith in our resources" This wa

COLORADO DEMOCRATS MEET.

Colorado Springs, Colo, April 90
Colorado's Democratic state conven-
ton was opened here today with every
prospect of bitter fight over the Sc
lection Of a Baltimore delegation.
Harmon, Clark and Wilson all have
supporters in the convention. The
delegation to the state convention
from Denver is headed by Mayor Rob
ert w. Speer, proprietor of the Den
yer Times. Neither Gov. Shafroth or
Senator Patterson are delegates to to-
days convention, and Patterson will
probably not be among those present
at the Baltimore gathering. A nation
al convention without Senator Patter-
sen will be something new, as he be-
gan going to Democratic conventions
n 1876. In 1892 he repudiated Cleve-
l7nd's nomination and joined the Pop
ulists, but came back into the Demo
cratic fold when the free silver ele.
ment gained aseendancy. The leaving
of Gov. Shafroth off the delegation tc
today's convention is considered di
rect slap at his administration. 1t Il

waters to the parent stream through
the Red river to Torras is rapidly

she knows all our sorrows. she

knows of our troubles. she knows of
our strife; she knows every man
who talks mean to his wife; she
knows every time we are out with
the boys" she hears the excuses
each fellow employees; she knows
every woman who has a dark past.
she knows every man who is in
clined to be fast" in fact there's a
secret beneath each saucy curl Of
that quiet, demure telephone girl
If the telephone girl told all that
she knows. it would turn half our
friends into bitter foes; she could
