CHURCH NOTES
Baptist
J. NJ. Sullivan. Pastor.

There are many things for
which we are grateful, but
among other things we are
thankful that we were permitted
to attend the great Southern
BAPTIST Convention at Nashville,
Tenn, the largest attendance
and best convention yet. Over
nineteen hundred delegates en-
rolled, and visitors variously es-
timated at from two to three
thousand were in attendance.
We felt that it would be selfish
not to tell our people about it.
So last Sunday at Pageland and
Providence we took time 10 tell
them just llttlc-and some
have actually had the courage to
say that they enjoyed it very
much.
We were, as we always are,
delighted to be with the Provi-
dence church last Sunday after
noon. These good people are
always anxious TO know what is
being done religiously elsewhere
The "enlistment campaign" is
on. We understand that it start
ed off well at Dudley last Sun
day, and Pageland Sunday night
lnasmuch as DR.. Langston was
very tired from the heavy work
of the day, Bro. B. S. Fundcrburg
was pressed into service Sunday
night and gave us real good
sermon along the line of being
good ourselves and the joy of
flndlng grace in the hearts and
lives of others.
DIR. Langston had charge of
the services Monday morning
giving us one of the best talks
or lectures on "ChriStian Litera
turc in the home" we have ever
heard. Monday night was an
other good service for us here.
Tuesday DR.. Langston was at
White Plains for all day services.
Bro. Sutton was with us at Page
land Monday and at Plains Tues
day.
Others are expected to join in
later on. Jefferson Wednesday,,

To The Voters of Chesterfield
County:

The State Convention has
adopted rules which require a
new enrolment of all voters
this year.
To enroll you must be a.
white Democrat, twenty one.
years old before the next gen:
eral election and must have liv-.
ed within the State two years
and the county six months be-
fore the next general election
and the precinct sixty day be-
fore the primary. You must
enroll personally and sign the
roll yourself.
You can enroll on only one
club-the one nearest to you in
your township or club district.
Now, it is important for every
voter of Chesterfield county to-
enroll, hence let every club
have a representative at Chester
field Court House on Monday,
June lst, to arrange for this.
The books will be there by that
time and must be opened by
Tuesday, June 9th and close on
Tuesday, July 2Sth, thus giving.
seven weeks in which to enroll,
and 1t will be published where
the books will be for each pre-
clnct. Let every man go and
enroll and see that we have our
full vote enrolled.
After this year people who do
not move do not have to enroll
IN the county any more, only
new voters have to 90 so, but
the cities have to enroll anew
every election year. If a voter
cannot sign his name to the roll
he can make his mark. No
white man is to be denied the
right to vote. See that your
name is enrolled. See that your
club is represented at Chester

SENATORS DEBATE TRADE
Argument Over Unfair Compe-
tition Clause Wakes Warm.

Washington, June 27.-The constitu-
tiOnality of the clause in the admins
tration trade commission bill prohibit
ing unfair competition" furnished the
basis for several hours of heavy legal
argument in the Senate to-day. SEN
ator Robinson, of Arkansas, submitted
a long list of court decisions which he
claimed upheld the constitutional right
of Congress to invest in a commission
such powers as are conferred by the
bill
Most Of the decisions involved the
rowers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Senator Robinson also ar
gued that the prohibition against "un-
fair competition" was sufficiently def
mite to enable the proposed commission
to fix rules and regulations for the
enforcement Of the law.
Senator Borah, Of Idaho, continued
his attack on the unfair competition"
clause, and said if the activities of the
proposed commission were confined to
aiding in the administration Of the
Sherman antitrust law and investigat
ing business practices he would be in
cined to vote for the measure.

LAYS DEATH TO
DRUG OVERDOSE
Mother Says Mrs. Stewart Used
1t observation-disclosures Shows
SuffocatiOn by Food.
nv Telesrapn to The Tribune.

Baltimore. June 27.-The death Of
Mrs. David Stewart in Paris on Thurs
day night was due to an overdose of a
drug which she was in the habit of TAX
ing to relieve pain, is the conviction Of
Mrs. Stewards mother, Mrs. Sarah H..
Boblitz. The latter said to-day:
MY daughter took drugs constantly
and in large quantities. She was oper-
ated on several times. A wound
never healed and she suffered eXcruciat-
ing pain. This led to her taking drugs.
The quantity was increased as the ef-
feet diminished from habit. My
daughters death was undoubtedly due
TO one of these overdoses.
At first she took the drugs in in
fnitisemal doses, but the quantity be-
came alarming to US who saw her take
them. Just before she sailed the doc
tor warned her in my presence that
such quantities and her carelessness
would sooner of later result disastrous
IL. She was about to sail for home
and ! do not doubt that she took a
large dose of some drug hoping that 1t
would fit her for the voyage, and her
death was the result"
At n time like this | think / ought to
say that / cannot bear the slightest
shadow of blame to rest on Mr..
Stewart. No better man ever lived. l
have recent letters from my daughter
speaking of her failing health and MIR.
Stewards unfailing kindness and de-
votion. l know of my personal knowl-
edge that her happiness was always
his first thought"
Paris. June 27.-The autopsy per-
formed to-day on the body of Mrs.
David Stewart showed that she had
died from suffocation during sleep,
caused by an thrush of food into the
respiratory organs.
