A SULZER DEMONSTRATION
Deposed Governor of New York Re

Hero.

New York.-William Sulzer, deposed

The route the motor cars took to
reach the East Side led past Tammany

close around and traffic stood still

from indigestion or constipation,
which will result eventually in SER

tion begins in the mouth. Food should
be thoroughly masticated and insali-
vated. Then when you have full

stupid after eating, take one of Cham

of stomach trouble and constipation

COLUMBIAN SHOOTS HIMSELF.


Columbia, June 5:-Frank L Hol-
land, Jr,. a prominent young business
man of Ridgewood. suburb of Co.
lumbia, shot himself several times
tonight, it is claimed. with the de-
clared intention of committing sui
eide. At late hour the young man,
although said to be badly wounded,
was still alive. No cause is assign
ed for the alleged attempt at self.
destruction.
1t is said that Mr. Holland, just
before the Ridgewood car reached
Price avenue tonight, where he was
waiting to board it, turned an auto
matte pistol which he was holding in
his hands on himself and inflicted a
wound in the neighborhood of his
heart. Then, according to the report,
he boarded the car and fired another
shot from the automatic, which pen
etrated the seat of the car and glanc-
ing tore hole through the rim of a
hat on a passengers head, but for
tunately hit none of the occupants
of the car.
1t is said that the conductor i'm
mediately brought the car to a stop
near the residence of a physician and
requested Mr. Holland to 60 to the
doctor, which he refused to do, say
ing, so it is stated, that he wanted
to go home and die there.
After descending from the car
near his home and after having gone
a short distance, another shot was
fired. Neighbors went to Mr. Hol-
lands assistance. At late hour he
was reported as still alive, but des-
perately wounded. Coroner Scott
on being asked about Mr. Hollands
condition by The News and Courier
representative, said that while he had
heard of the shooting, no official re-
port had been made to him, but on
hearing the rumor he made an in.

Isubmit the above reasons to men
of reason who really are opposed to
the liquor business and yet may con-
template voting for the dispensary as
the best solution. Weigh them and
see if am not right in the position
l take. 1t has been assumed by some
that the preachers are trying to CO.
cree people on this question before
US, so l have heard. Let me once
for all say this is not true, and the
preachers are not the issue, but q
moral question is. The preachers
are willing for every man to exercise
the right to think and act. They
are trying to do just what they try
to do in every moral issue to per-
suade their hearers and readers.
Could they do less? Are not those
who are working for the dispensary
trying to persuade their fellowmen
to adopt their views on the question
in the lay sermons they preach so Of
ten?
Would we not have better con-
sciences; would we not have better
morals; would we not do more for
the real interests of our country, If
we organized to put down the illegal
sale of liquor and refuse to sanction
its legal sale? Has prohibition had
fair showing in Calhoun county?
Have you, reader, done your duty
to make it succeed? Let US keep
this issue straight. We don't have
to have blind tigers" The issue
is not dispensary or blind tiger, but
whiskey or no whiskey.
