MANY MULES HERE.
DEMAND IS SLOW
LACK OF BUYERS HAS DEPRESS.
ING EFFECT UPON THE MAR.
kET TODAY.

While there were a great many fine
mules here today considering the
lateness of the season the market was
slow, much slower than it has been
since the mule season commenced.
There were fewer buyers here than
there have been in several months
and the demand was exceeding light.
1t is stated as reason for the alb
sence of the buyers that the South
has been pretty well stocked up on
mules; that work is pretty well up on
the farms and there is little demand
at this time from either the cotton or
the ugar planters. Considering the
lateness of the season and the hard
month just passed the mules shown
today were in good condition, their
hair was slick and they were fine in
flesh. There were probably not less
than five hundred brought to the city
for the market today but a great
many of them, large proportion, had
to be taken back to the farm. There
were in addition, many good horses
here and the demand for them was
even better than for the mules.

TRUE PROSPERITY
IS BASED UPON THE

DECLARATION MADE BY PRESl.
DENT PEYToN OF THE N. c.
AND ST. l. RY.
In An ADDRESS TO FARMERS
New Executive or Road Makes a De.
cidedly Favorable Impression and
Convinces all of his Sincerity
Superintendent Wheeler Also.

Pleading for closer cooperation
between the farmers and the rail
roads, urging that the prosperity OF
the one was dependent upon the
prosperity of the other, and declar-
ing that all true and lasting material
prosperity Of nation was based
upon the principles of the religion
of Jesus Christ, President John Howe
Peyton, of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & st. Louis Railroad, caught
the ears and touched the hearts of
his hearers when he spoke on Fri
day afternoon to crowd of farmers
and town folks at the court house.
In a straightforward, frank man
ner, without any effort at display or
to initiate the arts of the orator Mr..
Peyton told the farmers of his desire
to know as far as was humanity
possible the people living along the
lines Of his railroad. He told them
that it would be best for both the
farmers and for the railroads if they
could realize and appreciate their
mutual dependence upon each other.
The increased prosperity of the farm
ers would mean greater tonnage for
the railroads and the better tonnage
the railroads had the more efficient
they could afford to make their ser
vice to the public.
Mr.. Peyton is plain, direct
speaker He impresses his hearers
with his absolute sincerity. A feat
ure of his address that will leave
lasting impression was his appeal to
the farmers to lift the moral stand
ards of the country. He declared
that no people had ever lived in his
tory who had prospered and accumu-
lated vast material wealth who had
forgotten the higher moral worth. He
said that true and lasting material
as. we'll as moral improvement and
development must be founded upon
the religion of the Christ Not only,
he said, must men profess this reli-
gion, but they must live it.
At the close of his address Presi-
dent Peyton was warmly congratu-
lated by those present. Brief ad-
dresses were made by Charles P.
Hatcher, H. P. Figuers and Col. John
W. Fry.
Superintendent Wheeler, of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad made
few remarks. Mr.. Wheeler also
pleaded for closer relations between
the railroads and the people and
spoke of the efforts that his road
was making to settle all differences
between it and the people without a
resort to litigation. He was literally
applauded.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC

SALOON MUST co
so DECLARES MRS. ATKINS At
FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
SUNDAY EVENING.
TERRIBLE EXCORIATION OF rum
Must Go Because of Its Tremendous
Economic Waste, Its DiaboIicalIy
Corrupting Influence on Politics
and Ruin and Havoc Wrought.

The doom of the saloon was the
theme of Mrs. Florence Ewell Atkins
at the first Methodist Church Sunday
evening. The speaker gave three
reasons why the day was not far dis
tant when it would be outlawed from
the face of the earth, first, because
Of the tremendous economic waste
involved by the consumption of Ii.
quor; secondly, because of the dia.
oolcally corrupting influence of the
liquor traffic upon political and gov.
ernmental life; thirdly, because OF
the mighty men that it has laid low
and because it is absolutely contrary
to all that Jesus Christ taught and
preached.
In the course of her opening re
marks Mrs. Atkins stated that today
was a time of agitation in all states

OUR ALLEGIANCE AND
DUTY TO GOD THEME
OF ELOQUENT SERMON
DR.. L. c. MAYS FILLS PULPIT FOR
FIRST TIME AT BAPTIST
CHURCH.
We Owe GOD our ALL
Speaker Declared That Our obIiea-
ton Was Greater Than That of the
Ancient lsraelites-For He Gave
His Son, Jesus Christ for Our Sake.

Taking as his text, rs He Not Thy
Father Who Hath Bought Thee?" DR..
L. c. Mays, the new pastor of the
First Baptist church, preached an elo-
quent sermon Sunday morning on the
duty, the service that Gods children
owe Him. His love to us, declared
the peaker, was so great that He gave
his only begotten Son for our sake.
In his Introductory remarks, DR..
Mays declared that Moses was the
greatest Of all pastors, the leader OF
100000 people. For this leadership,
he served forty years Of apprentice
ship. He served patiently, waiting
for the opportunity to redeem his peo-
pie from slavery. 1t was time of
patience, of instruction, of expert
ence. Had he not had it, he would
not have been able to see God so
clearly revealing himself in burn
ing rush. At the end of his appren-
tice ship, he was commissioned to go
forth and lead the lsraelites from
bondage and captivity in Egypt and
conduct them after forty years of
wandering and vicissitude to the
promised land. Often they complain
ed and murmured of their lot, but
Moses was possessed of an infinite
store of patience and needed them
not 1t was in one of these fits of
Impotence that he rebuked them and
asked them, 'Is Not He Thy Father
Who Hath Bought Thee?"
Turning his text to apply it to his
hearers, DR.. Mays asked them if God
had not paid for us? Did we not owe
Him greater allegiance than even
the Israelites? Has He not led us
from the Egypt of sin? He led US
through the Red Sea of Jesus own
blood, spoke to us from the sermon
on the mount, and Numbered to our
deaf ears from Calvary's Cross. He
has done more for us than for ancient
Israel. He has paid for us a greater
price in that He gave his only begot-
ten Son. For this sacrifice we owe
Him our lives, our gratitude, and our
faithful service. Telling the beauti-
full story of Tito and his father, Bald
assere, from George Eliots Romola,
he declared that the former was no
baser in his relations to his old father
than was the Christian who denied
God, his Father, and lived for SELF
Our greatest service, our greatest
gift is ut a pittance. We owe Him all.
In conclusion, DR. Mays stated that
God will take the greatest care of us
if we will but be grateful to Him. He

problem. This agitation is resulting
in education and information upon
the subject, and fastening more
surely and fast the day when liquor
shall be banished from the fact of the
earth. Taking up the reasons why
this must be so, she gave as her first
cause that liquor must be outlawed
because of the tremendous economis
waste that it involves. She hooted
at the idea that the destruction Of
liquor would mean decrease in state
revenues. She gave full statistics
from Kansas, showing that at the
end of thirty years Of prohibition,
that state has the lowest tax rate Of
any in the union. She also stated
that fifty-six counties were without a
prisoner in their jails and 81 of them
did not have an insane person within
their borders. In North Dakota the
record was the same on the temper.
ance question.
In subtantiation of her second
point, that the liquor traffic must die
because of it's corrupting influence
upon politics, she cited the case OF
Tennessee. She declared that there
could be no honest politics where II.
auor is concerned. The citizenship is
debauched, the ballot box is corrupt
ed, and strong me are dragged down
to political ruin and destruction by
it's influence. Her picture of the
work of the ruin dealers and their
methods of influencing Legislators
was a vivid one.
She also declared that the traffic
must be abolished because of the ruin
that it has wrought in the past, the
men that it had ruined and the homes
that it had wrecked Alexander, Ed
gar Allen Poe, and Daniel Webster
were cited as examples of its dread
havoc. Scientists have declared that
alcohol is a habit forming drug which
has a popularity for all the brain
cells. which kills the moral sense, and
destroys the will power. The only

hearers that they send from Maury

who can't be duped, who will fight
liquor and its cohorts clear out of the
state and who will deliver the final
blow to the absolute destruction of
