The church looks on the preacher as
a kind of ecclesiastical engine that is
going to puff, pull. blow and snort the
whole business into glory.
On one occasion Jesus said, "Sit We
here" and that's what nine-tenths of
the church members are Going. They
are just bench warmers.
The average church members wear
out dozen pairs Of hold back straps,
where they wear cut one pair Of tugs.
The churches here in Sumter are
like squirrel in a cage; a lot of ac-
tivity but no progress
If there Is any man in the world
that ought to have a move on him, it
is the Christian. He ought to be like
a fellow going after the undertaken to

We have been leaders in everything
that hell could suggest and the devil
could cOncoct; but trailers in religion.
In the years 1910 and 1911, it took
one Of the leading churches in Sum-
ter. with a membership Of about 700
and an expenditure of about $4,000 to
get two people into the church.
The trouble with the men Of Sum-

Two Mexicans Try to Steal

Clerk Stops Game.

ing to the prompt action OF the clerk.

The game before it had been carried
out.
Martinson claims that the Mexicans
came into the store and asked to look
at some hats. He was suspicious of
them from the start and kept a close
eve on their actions. One OF them
made n few purchases, and while pay
ing for them Martinson noticed the
other making toward the door with
something bulky beneath his coat. He
did not stop to give his customer any
change. but made for the man at the
door. who started to run.
At this juncture, the culprit's coat
became unbuttoned and six pairs of
50 pants fell to the sidewalk. He con-
tinued to run, however. and in spite
OF the fact that the police have kept
q close watch for him, he has not been
found. The other man was arrested,
but later released. as there was no
positive proof that he was connected
with the attempted robbery.

FAMOUS SYSTEM
Police Of Moline Would Coop
crate With Rock Island in
identifying Crooks.
MANY BENEFITS ARE SEEN
Criminals Can Be Positively Identified
by the RertiIlon PIan-Protec-
ton to Public.

The Moline police authorities hope
to cooperate with the police of Rock
Island in the establishment of branch
here Of the Bertillon system of meas
uring criminals, afiliated with the Ma
tional Bureau of Criminal Identified
ton. 1t is also claimed that such a
system would prove of great benefit
and assistance to the police and afford
added protection to the citizens of the
two cities.
Commissioner E. L. Eastman said
today that he understood the cost OF
establishing such system is not large
and if the Rock Island authorities will
agree to such an affiliation he will I'M
dertake its establishment. Chief of
Police o. NJ. Bisant of Moline IS in
favor of the system and will undoubt-
eddy recommend that it be established.
Crooks Stay Away.
Criminals who know that such a sys-
tenn prevails in certain cities avoid
these places in their professional OPP
erations, as the method of identified
ton is too sure proof for them.
