that men owe to their respective
churches. It's officers are members
of the church appointed to this
particular work by their respective
organizations and elected to their
positions in the league by trustees
chosen by the various churches and
temperance organizations. 1t draws
its financial support, as we'll as Its
authority from the church. 1t Is
manifest, therefore, that its power
and effectiveness are conditioned
! by the devotion the churches show
toward it. 1t can go just as far
and just as fast as the church per-
mits, no farther, no faster.
In 1894, at the suggestion OF
Archbishop Ireland, of the Roman
Catholic Church, the Rev. A. i.
Kyrett, chairman Of the permanent
committee on temperance and pro-
hibition of the Methodist Episco-:
pal church, worked out plan for
uniting all the church forces that
were working toward that end, and and
from this, resulted the Anti-Saloon
League Of Amerca, formed at
Washington, D. c., on Dec. 18th
1895 with the existing local leagues
and forty-five other temperance or
ganizations in its membership. DR.,
Russell was chosen National SUI
perintendent, Rev. Purley A. l'as
ker succeeded Or. Russell as State
Superintendento Ohio. Later DR.
Baker succeeded DR.. Russell as
National Superintendent and ne is,
the present National Superintendenfs
Bishop Luther B. Wilson, D. D., is
the present president of the League
1t might be we'll TO add that the
national organization ano the State
organizations of the League, bear
relation to each other in govern-i
meut. similar to that of our Ma:
tionai State Governments.
The League when fully organized
in any State, maintains three de-
partments Of activity, viz: Aglssa.
ton. legislation. and law emf forees

quarters at Westerville, Ohio, in
the form of magazines, such as
American Issue.'' The New
Republic" and other temperan ce
literature, is sent out annually, the
equivalent of 25O,OOo,oO0, book
bages. This vast amount of litera-
ture is sent to all parts of the coun-
try.
There is likewise much agitation
done by the League Represents
tives. Thousands of churches
throughout the country are visited
annually by these strong advocates
of the temperance cause and usual
ly strong sentiment is aroused
against the liquor business.
The principle legislative activity
is to be found in the support that is
given by the League to those
candidates for county, state or ma
,ional officers who have nladped
themselves to stand for the inter

splendid occasion on Sunday. From

ard girls.
At 1880 o'clock the opera house

most capacity, and all chairs and
extra seats taken. The choir was
seated on the stage, and sang to the
piano accompaniment, Mrs. Mamie
N. Tillman at the piano. Two spe-
eial selections, one abide with
me-" vocal solo by Mr. Ashby
Davenport and another TO show
my love" by Miss Miriam Norris
were a part of the mornings pro-
gram. DR.. NJ. D. Jeffries presided
at the meeting, and introduced Mr.
Upshaw whom he had known for
many years. This gentleman spoke
for about an hour, his subject being
''The old time religion" 1t was a
magnificent and dignified presenta-
ton of this subject, land inspired
every one who heard. At the close
of his address many came forward
and at his appeal pledged themselves
to build an altar in their homes.
The audience was a very repre-
sentative one, there being present
friends from all over the county;
from Clark's Hill, Morgana, Tren-
ton, Johnston, Meeting Street, Har-
losgiy. Fl Oh NJ egS
er sections. The dinner was laid OF
long tables near the court house,
and a more abundant nor elaborate
and we'll prepared. dinner was ever
served in Edgefeld. There were
many good things left. Through
the thoughtfulness and kindness Of
some of the men, nice waiter was
sent to the prisoners in the Jail, and
what was left was sent to the chain
gang, al the suggestion Of Mr. Ed
munds.
Afternoon in Court Eouse.
As soon as dinner was over, q
large crowd assembled in the cour1
house where music was rendered by
the choir, Mr.. Shannonhouse, pre-
siding. The subject of Mr.. Up
shaw's address for the afternoon
meeting was The stainless flag
which was greeted 1t almost every
sentence by q round of applause.
This was both pathetic and humor-
ouS and full OF splendid arguments

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-The offensive
operations of the allies in northern
France is becoming more marked and
the attacks of the French, British and
Indian troops all the way from Warne-
ton. on the Belgian border to the river
Disc, have become more violent.
In West Flanders the Germans have
been making fierce attacks in futile
endeavors to recover lost ground
along the east bank of the User canal,
between Dixmude and Newport.
South of the fores deHouthlst and
south of the Ypres- Menin road, the
AngloFrench forces have made slight
progress. The Germans have been
compelled to evacuate trenches made
untentable by the French and British
artillery. Near Zillebeke, Klein lille
beke and Vanvorde, between Ypres
and Menin, the struggle has cost heav-
lily in human life.

The Germans holding the Belgian
coast have given the Belgian resi-
dents permission to flee following the
death of a number of non-combatants
in the bombardment of the coast by
British warships. Hitherto able
bodied Belgian men had been held by
the Germans and compelled by the
invaders to help dig trenches.

of Committee Headed by
BOckhOff.

At q meeting Of stockholders of the

executive committee was elected to
handle the affairs which come up until
the permanent organization.
w. F. Bockhoff was elected chair
man. The other members are Ebon

tive committee will secure a perma-
nent or temporary location and report
to another stockholders meeting
which will be held Monday night, and
arrangements will be made to lease
the rooms.
Several locations which are consid-
cred excellent are under considera-
ton. 1t is said both the Rooney Fur
niture store and the Mashmeyer store
at Eighth and Main streets are being
considered. In the case of the latter,
the lease held by Mrs. Mashmeyer is
invalid If she disposes of the business
and some bitches may be encountered
in dealing with this location, they say.
1t is rumored the new bank may Sc
cure an option on the Dickinson Trust

COMMITTEE REJECTS
PLANS OF HOSPITAL
Suggestions for Place to
Treat tuberculosis Call for
Heavy Expense.

The plans for tuberculosis hospitals
have been received by the committee
appointed recently by the county com
missiOners to investigate conditions in
Wayne county.
DR.. A. J. Whallon, chairman called
a meeting of the building committee
last night consisting of John Melpol-
der, S. Edgar Bond and Frank Burr in
addition to the chairman.
The two sets of plans We're not salts
factory to the committee. The prices
are $1,000 and $4,000 The cheaper
is a two-story building somewhat
crowded and the $4,000 structure is
considered too costly as it spread out
over more ground than is necessary.
AS a result, one, set of plans will be
modified and the other amplified to
produce plans for an airy twostory
building.
DR.. w. F. King, assistant secretary
of the state board of health met with
the committee and explained the
plans.
The committee will meet with the
of the year. The meeting will be held
as soon as the new plans are ready.
Frank Burr is going over the plans.

BOND REPORTS $500
FROM STAMP SALES

Reports received by DR.. S. Edgar
Bond, who has charge of the distribu-
ton Of Red Cross seals in Richmond,
indicate that the sales will come up
to those Of last year, which amounted
to about $4,000. The estimate is
based largely on the report received
recently from Mrs. Schalk who has
charge of the sales conducted by the
Domestic Science club.
Many of the district schools
throughout the county have been ac-
tive in selling The seals. and two Of
the schools have sold $15 worth of
stamps.
Or. Bond said that Indiana now
stood fifth in the United States for
the number of seals sold. and that a
great deal Of competition had develop
ed all over the state. ShOemakers are
placing seals on the soles of shoes
they repair, bakers are placing them
on loves of bread. and manufa cturers
are using them on machinery shipped
ont. The last report received shows
that Fl. Wayne is leading over cities
in the state in the number of seals
sold

ers of the cigar store at 4O5 Main
street, and his sweetheart, q seventeen.
year-old girl, with whom "Slim" has

chased from Everett Sullivan some
time ago for $3.50 to the King boys of

transaction began and ended Tuesday
and the new owners took possession.
Tuesday afternoon "Slims" uncle

store in response to Mrs. Stonecipher's
request and said he was going to work

n THENS, GA, Jan. 23.-Pros
n poets for good baseball team
at Georgia next season are
very bright. More than thirty candi-
dates have already promised to try
for the team, and Coach Cunningham
should have enough material on hand
to select a strong ball club from
The one weakness that faces the
Georgia coach is the catching depart
ment The Red, and Black mogul will
find it no easy task to find a man of
LHutchings' or Bowden's ability. I'm
less Cunningham is able to develop
coed backstop, rival teams will pill
fer many bases next season.
THE old &C" men who are on hand
to look over the crop of hopefuls
are: Captain CHM, left fielder; Me
Whorter center fielder; Corley,
pitcher; Hitchcock. pitcher; Hender-
son, first base: Harris, second base;
Clements, shortstop. In addition to
this number Kid Riley, who played
short on the 1912 team, is in college
again, while Holden, who subbed at
third last year, at present mas Inc call
for Covington's old position.
A veritsble harvest of new faces
will greet Cunningham for look
over, and some of them are promis-
ing youngsters Nunnally who
prepped at @. NJ c. and who has
caught several games for Monroe, will
probably be the first assignment be-
hind the bat owen, who played end
on the football team last fall, is ex-
pected to help Corley with the pitch
ing and at the same time he is a
good outfielder and can also be used
at first. Freshman" Brown is an
overflow OF last season and besides
coming from the home of Ty Cobb,
is possessed with a good batting eye.
He should receive a regular position
in right field.
