der this Indictment for the reason that
the evidence upon which 1t was found
cd was insufficient.
"Mr. Alexander, the United States
district attorney, stated in open court,
when the nolle prosequi was entered,
that many Of the acts relied upon for
conviction under the Indictment were
barred by the statute Of limitation
when the indictment was found, and
investigation by Mr.. Angler or his sue
cessor in office, Mr.. Tate, would have
adduced the same findings made by
Mr.. Alexander, and it is passing
strange that these officers representing
the United States would permit an in
dictment to stand for twelve long
years against a citizen Of Georgia when
1t was absolutely baseless in fact.
1T must be credited to Mr.. Alexander
that he is not only a competent officer.
but that he, is conscientious, pains
taking and courageous and discharges
his duty as he sees 1t. He acted
promptly in this case with a view to
trying It, II there was anything In it,
and, II not. to give 1t the direction al
ready indicated"

It is costing moro to punish colored

AN OPEN LETTER.

The National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union has launched q
campaign for National Constitutional
Prohibition in 1920.
We believe in ourselves; but in.
finitely more in the God who said:
BE not afraid nor dismayed by rea-
son Of this great multitude; for. the
battle is not your but Gods"
We realize that it would be- dis
astrous to the race, If in the final tri-
umph Of virtue over vice, the church
over the liquor traffic; our women
were found poorly represented in the
great organization Of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, which knows no woman by her
creed or color.
To forestall such a calamity, we
are calling for volunteers all over; the
Nation.
January I, 1914, has been set apart
as out fast day, on which day all who
are interested In the weIIbefng Of the
race are called upon to unite with US
that there might be great awakening
Of our women to this the opportune
time to fall into line and help cave, our
race from this vile form Of slavery
which the white mans civilization has
forced upon us.
At our National Convention in As
bury Park, N. j., in November, Ohio's
coloreG women led the nation in max
ing a great gain Of membership; New
York came next. The whole nation
must rally. The liquor traffic knows
no race, section, nor condition in it's
work If evil. WE MUST BE ON
DUTY when the last blow for liberty
Of home, race and nation is struck.
Texas will rally for 1000 paid mem
bers. Tennessee and Arkansas 500
each.
Mrs. George E. Haynes, Fisk Uni
versity, Nashville. Tenn, has been
chosen as our Secretary of Advisory
Committees of College Work.
Miss Mary A. Lynch, Livingston Col.
lege, Salisbury, N. c.. is Chairman of
Committee on Press Work.
I cheerfully introduce these capable
earnest women who will help lead our
ranks to victory over the greatest
enemy we have known since emancipa-
tion.
We believe in the press as one of
the greatest means of helping to
establish truth and Justice, u
We believe that our men will rally
to help rs as they discover the ear
nestness Of our hearts set to action.
We therefore humbly ask that you
WI give space in your valuable col
umns Of the next issue for this letter.
We further beg that you will let ap-
pear in a later issue If not along with

R. B. Gunten preached an effective
sermon at the Emmanuel Baptist
Church last night. Having apparently
aroused the consciences of many in his
audience, Mr.. Gunter waived the for
mality of a closing or after service
and sent his hearers away to ponder
the truths arrayed by him in support
of the declaration of his text. The
effect of this plan was to cause a mum

REV. ANDREWS GIVES VIVID De
scRIPrioN OF MANNER OF
LORDS SECOND VISIT.

The revival meeting at Main Street
Methodist church reached high tide
last night when more than thirty came
forward and professed faith in Christ.
The large congregation filled the main
building and most of the Sunday
School room. The attention was
marked throughout, the delivery of a
sermon on the second coming of Christ.
The interest was intense. Men and
women were stirred as never before
during the meeting.
Evangelist Andrews said there are
many signs that indicated the time
was near at hand when the Lord Jesus
would come again. Reading from the
Bible, he showed that in the last days
there would be many who would listen
to seducing spirits and doctrines Of the
devil in departing from the faith. That
time Is upon us now. he declared.
Russelism, Eddyism, Theosophy and
many other perversions Of the plain
teaching of Gods Word are destroy
ing the faith of many church members,
said the preacher. Perilous times are
upon us, he said, which Is another sign
that the coming of the Lord was draw
ing near. Wars and rumors Of war
the millions spent annually in equip
ping armies and building navies, and
the twenty million soldiers of the ma
tions of the earth ready at moments
notice to fly at one asother's throat
indicate that the times are perilous.
Church members, having the form
but denying the power of Goodness
are going mad after the things Of this
world, he declared, while hundreds
attend the churches in our cities
thousands upon thousands can be seer
every Sunday morning and evening
going to places of amusement, thu
parks, plays, baseball and moving pic
lures. Many Of these pleasure seeker
are church members who have for
