SPLENDID EFFORT
MARKED CLOSE OF
POPULAR MINISTRY
DR.. w. T. HAGGARD PREACHED
TO CAPACITY AUDIENCE SUM-
DAY MORNING.
upon HEAVENLY RECOGNITION
So Overcome With Emotion at Times
That He Could Scarce Complete
His Remarks-Several Additions
Were Made to Church Roll.

To an audience that packed the
First Methodist church from the al
tar to the doors, DR.. w. T. Haggard
preached his valedictory sermon Sun
day morning at eleven o'clock.
The splendid, warm autumn day
and the knowledge that it was the
last time that DR.. Haggard would be
heard here in a formal effort drew
out not only the whole of the church
membership, but many visitors The
sermon was a splendid effort and
brought tears to the eyes of many of
his hearers. He took as his subject
Heavenly Recognition" and from
this theme he drew many useful, pc,
tent lessons which he applied to his
audience. So overcome was he at
several points in the sermon that he
was scarce able to finish his remarks.
He was never heard to better advan.
tage in the whole of his four years
of work In Columbia.
After the services were over he
was pressed about by large crowd,
which expressed their sorrow that
the rules Of the Methodist church
made it necessary that he leave Co
lumbia, where he has gained such a
strong hold upon the hearts and affec-
lions of so many people, not only in
his own church, but also among all
denominations.
One of the most touching features
of the service was the baptism and
admission to the church of several
new members, several of whom were
young children.

HEAVY HAND OF LAW
LAID ON v|OLATORS
BY SHERIFF GRIFFIN
FIVE BOoTLEGGERS ROUNDED
UP IN COUNTY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.
ASSISTED BY HIS DEPUTIES
Two in Columbia, One at Sawdust
Valley and TWO at Mt. Pleasant Al
legged to Have Been Caught Dis
pensing Liquid Refreshments.

The heavy hand Of the law was laid
upon the bootleggers of Maury coun,
lty Sunday. No less than four raids
were made by Sheriff Walter Griffin
and his deputies throughout the coun-
ty during the day and half dozen or
more were caught, against whom it
is alleged that evidence is pretty con-
vincing that they had been dispens-
ing Liquid goods"
Sam Dodson, alias TOUCHDOWN, y
was the first victim who got in the
tolls of the law. He was arrested up
on the information of Dave Edwards,
who swore that he had bought pint
of whisky from him, paying rs cents
for it. Dodsons place was searched,
but it is said nothing was found.
However, he was arrested and upon
a hearing before Esq. Alexander this
morning, he was bound over to the
grand jury. Those making the arrest
were Sheriff Griffin, Deputies Hardi-
son and Voss and the city police. The
place of Dodson is on Embargo street
They were more lucky in their next
raid, which was upon the barber
shop of Dan Gray in the negro Odd
Fellows building near the Mink
Slide" They found II pint bottles of
whisky. He made bond for his ap-
pearance at the trial, which is set
for Friday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
Sheriff Griffin and his deputies then
hustled off in an automobile for Saw
dust Valley, where B. F. Anderson, his
deputy in the eighth district, had ar
rested Jim Harris, a negro, whom it
is alleged that he had caught passing
out liquid refreshments. He was car
ried before Esq. Wilkes and bound
over to the grand jury.
The last raid was at Mt. Pleasant,
where J. o. Blackburn, deputy sher-
if, rounded up Charlie Kittrell and
Ethel Mayfeld on the charge of boot
logging. They were carried before
ESQ. C. C. Ross, who bound them over
to the grand jury.

LIBERAL CONTRIBUTION TO
 SALVATION ARMY KETTLE.
Norwich Merchant. Dropped in Five
 Dollar Bill.

Wednesday afternoon a Norwich merchant, who finds time to think of those less fortunate than himself in spite of the rush of holiday trade that is besieging the local stores. walked up to the kettle placed in Franklin square by the Salvation Army to re- ceive contributions towards the Christmas dinner fund and placed therein a five dollar bill. Although the kettle had been on duty practically all day contributions were coming in slowly and this generous sized gift was a pleasant surprise for Captain Wilbur who was pacing slowly up and down the sidewalk in front of the ket- tie, watching his charge and incident Iy trying to keep warm. This is the largest single gift that has been placed in the kettle this year and the cap tain said on Wednesday evening that if only more of the citizens of the city would follow in the footsteps of the Norwich merchant who opened his heart and incidentally his pocket book on Wednesday afternoon. there would be Christmas dinners enough for cv- cry needy family in the city and that the success of the captains plans would be assured. However, said the

 DIRECT FOR DEFENDANT
In $1o,ooo Suit of Joseph Andrea Against New Haven Road.

In the trial of the case of Joseph Andrea against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Go, which was continued in the superior court here on Wednesday, a motion to direct a verdict for the defendant was made by the attorney for the railroad, w. J. Barnett, of New Haven, after both sides had rested at 1.57 p. m.
 Attorney Barnett argued that neg ligence had not been proved and that the cause of the accident rested with the plaintiff as he had assumed certain risks in the course of his employment
 Judge NJ. A. Shunway denied the motion after nearing the arguments for the notien by Attorney Barnett and against 1t by Attorney c. H. Hull
 Then the arguments before the jury were taken up. Attorney, Hull making the first for the plaintiff and occu- pying the time till court adjourned at 4.30 to the next morning.
 Witnesses for the defense were on
 ehttsand during the morning hours of court, testifying in this suit which has been brought for $10,000 damages for the loss of Joseph Andrea's right eye through a chip of steel flying into it while he was yielding hammer cutting a rail in the yard at Midway in September, 1911.
 But Cornelius J. Connors, the sec tion foreman, who was on the stand on Tuesday, was one witness for the plaintiff who resumed his testimony when court opened Wednesday morn ing. He said he had given Andrea this work to do because he considered him very capable man.
 After the cross examination of this witness by Attorney Barnett for the | defendant. Major Hull for the plain | tiff rested.
 Witnesses for the defense were AL l bert A. Johnson. Michael Burnett and | R. K Harris, all expert track layers. They told of the method of laying tracks which was the way Andrea was working

 Dr. Anthony Peck, an eye specialist of this city, was the witness who was put on in rebuttal. He testified that I his examination of Andrea showed that ! the remaining eye had been somewhat l harmed by the loss of the right eye.
