unusually interesting marriage cere-
mony, when Mr. Bishop Burgess led
Miss Ulmer Crooks to the hymeneal

The bride was lovely, attired in a
costume Of white satin, beautifully
trimmed with white lace, wearing
a veil caught up with delicate bride
roses and carrying a bouquet of
orange blossoms.
The bride is charming and at
tractive young lady of this section,
whose numerous friends wish her
many happy days along life's Jour-
ney. The groom is sterling young
business man, who is well known in
the county.
After congratulations, the bride
hurriedly changed her wedding
gown to handsome travelling cos
tune of dark blue serge and hat to
match and the happy couple quickly
sped away in a waiting automobile
for their future home at Mouzons.
The wedding gifts included many
things useful and beautiful.
Rev L E Peeler, accompanied by
his wife and little daughter, met his

A VARIETY OF NEWS
FROM LAKE CITY.
LECTURE BY DISTINGUISHED d.
VINE--OTHER ITEMS OF SOCIAL
AND PERSONAL INTEREST

Lake City, February TUESDAY
evening9Dr. Howard Lee Jones, pas
tor of the Citadel Square Baptist
church, Charleston, under the aus
pices of the association formed last
spring for the purpose of securing
noted speakers to lecture here dur
ing the winter months, delivered an
address at the school auditorium.
His theme, The South's Greatest
Peril and How to Meet It," was
both idealistic and practical. The
large crowd that assembled to hear
this noted speaker was both pleased
and edited by his forceful and mas
terful way of handling this large
and interesting subject. DR.. Jones
stressed the fact that the South's
greatest peril is in Lawlessness--
spelt with a capital L if you please
that a reform movement was neces-
sary, cleaner politics, more intelli-
gent and capable lawmakers, and
the way to Meet It," was with re-
ligion, not combining the church
with the State, but making politics
and religion work in harmony. His
subject has given the larger part of
hio hearers much food fer thought,
which we trust will be put into eff
feet at the next general election.
A reference was held here last
Tuesday IN re Jones against Will
liams, ct al. referee, Hon C w Stoll
of Kingstree; F L Wilcox, Esq, of
Florence and Walter Hazard, Esq.
of Georgetown, were present. Much
interest is manifested in this case
due to the prominence of parties in
interest and the tangled nsnct the
case presents.

SUBJECT OF ARGUMENT
Constitutional Question Raised in
Hearing Today Before JUS
tice Mccoy.

Justice Mccoy OF the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia heard ar
guments of counsel today for and
against the constitutionality of the
Kenyon red light" law. The question
is raised in the proceedings brought
against the Ardmore Hotel. The justice
took the matter under consideration
and will announce his decision later
United States Attorney Laskey and
Assistant United States Attorney Laws
on behalf of the government, in sup
port of the constitutionality of the
law offered four reasons why its valid
ity should be upheld.
They contended that Congress. under
the police power. has the right to de-
clare property used for immoral pur-
poses 10 be nuisance. and. as such,
may provide that such nuisance be
aoated by a court of equity.
Lack of knowledge No Defense.
The lack of knowledge on the part Of
the owner that his property was being
used in violation of law. said the pros
ecutors, is NO defense to the taking Of
the property. Several cases, one in the
United States Supreme Court and others
from state courts, were mentioned to
sustain this position
Iney urged that Congress had power
to impose the tax OF $500 against the
owner and against the occupant of the
premises as a deterrent against en-

equity, are not criminal in their nature.

THOUSAND MINISTER'S WILL
DISCUSS HEALTH SUNDAY

Oklahoma City, Nov. 23.-Interest
in tuberculosis Sunday Nov. 30, and
in health day that follows it on
Monday, is increasing very rapidly,
and now more than one-half of the
counties have organized under the
plan of general health day work
Bishop Meerschert of the Catholic
church has sent an outline of a ser
mon on health topics to each Cath
olic church in Oklahoma. More than
1000 pastors of all denominations
have notified DR., ]. c. Mahr, state
commissioner of health, that they will
devote the services on tuberculosis
Sunday to the outline that has been
sent them from the state health Of
fee.
The mayor of Muskogee has fol-
lowed the proclamation of Governor
Cruce for health day and the people
of that city are organizing for a cam
paign of enlightenment to be held
on that occasion. This city has in
vited DR.. Mahr to speak in one of the
churches on Tuberculosis" Sunday,
and to address the people the follow
ing day The Chambers of Commerce
of McAlester and Oklahoma City have
appointed committees to arrange
suitable programs and undertake to
organize for the work of health day
in both places. The people of several
cities are planning to make a health
survey on health day and otherwise
assist the cause of disease preven-
ton.
DR. Mahr is immensely pleased
with the prospect for these days, and
says that he has never heard of such
general support and intelligent com
prehension of a work in other states
or before in this state.
THE people are learning rapidly in
Oklahoma that prevention OF disease
is better than treatment" he said,
"and that tuberculosis that takes
such a heavy toll of lives in this
country every year can be effectively
stamped out by right methods of liv-
ing"

The Hoe and the Douqh.

The man with the hoe has been
recognized by every age and nation
as a fundamental source of prosper
ity, and while our literature abounds
with encomiums in his behalf, the
half has never been told.
But the man with the dough is
equally as important at this period
Of our growth and development as the
man with the hoe Attempts have
been made to discredit him, but when
it comes to building factories and
railroads and large industrial enter
prises which are necessary to our
prosperity, we must face the man
with money and our destinies as a
nation of influence and power are
largely in his hands.
1t takes the man with the hoe and
the man with the dough combined to
make civilization, and one is inter
dependent upon the other.

The Habits of WORKING Men.

A professor OF Columbia university
has just completed a test of charac-
ter of 1000 working men of differ
ent sections of the United States, and
his report reveals some interesting
tendencies of the average laborer
Prominent among his discoveries
was the revelation that nine men in
every ten laborers occupy a large
amount of their spare time in read
ing the newspapers, and that this
number of them are subscribers to
their local publications.
Next to the time spent with his
family. the American laborer divides
his spare moments in visiting friends
and in reading newspapers.

30 nationalities and 164 occupations
were represented, and 800 OF them
belonged TO trade unions There were
$50 church members, while 420 did
not profess religion Six men in
every ten are regular patrons Of the
picture shows, and only three in
ten used intoxicants In any form.
