but those already named are those
that make it peculiarly valuable to
us just as this time. While we are
engaged in such an unequaled contest
with an unprincipled foe, it behooves
US to develop all our resources, and
especially our agricultural resources.
We have brave and we'll disciplined
soldiers in the field who are ready to
do and dare all that mortal men can,
rather than be subjugated, yet they
must be fed and clothed, and their
families supplied with necessary pro-
visions. Much, therefore, depends
on our planters and farmers In refer
ence to the final result. We are cut
off from foreign supplies, and hence
we are dependent on our own resour-
ces, under a kind Providence, for sue
cess. Thus far during this spring 8
campaign the bugle notes Of victory
to our armies have sounded forth, but
we should feel sure Of the fact that
threatening hunger will not be the tos-
Gin Of subjugation to us. In very in
portant sense, our farmers hold the
future destinies Of this Confederacy
in their hands. Let US then, fellow
citizens, bestir ourselves in every de-
partment Of duty, and especially in
that Of raising the needed supplies Of
agricultural products. And let us
fully appreciate the importance Of
syrup and sugar in the table supplies
Of our people.
More saccahrine matter and less
drugging in our daily diet, will make
us more healthy in body, vigorous In
mind and courageous in spirit. And

and we need Such a Shaklng.
Other laymen spoke in the same
strain. 1t was planned to present the
matter to the different churches the
following Sabbath. The proposed un-
ion of the Protestant forces in spir-
itual campaign appealed to the indi-
vidual churches Of all denominations,
and the ministers were astonished and
pleased to find out the amount Of real
religious interest which had been la
tent in their congregations.
Allan Rutledge made a visit to a
neighboring state, where Mr.. Sunday
was conducting a campaign and pre-
, vailed upon him to arrange for a
meeting in Bronson.
1--WE need you in Bronson, Billy
said Allan Rutledge, with intense ear
nestness, land God needs you"
"All right" was the ex-baseball
champions characteristic remark. Go
ahead and get up the tabernacle. I'm
ready to buck the gang in Bronson or
anywhere else. I have never back
pedaled for the devil yet, and I never
will"
AS time went on and the prepara-
tions for the building of the immense
tabernacle were begun there were
signs Of anxiety among certain of
Bronsons citizens.
'Is this CRATER, Billy Sunday, COM
ing to Bronson ?" said Bud McCrea to
Mr.. Graham one day in the law office
Of Millman & Graham. Bud McCrea
was the uncrowned king Of Bronson.
He was the political boss. The man
seemed to feel a sense of injured dig
nifty that it was proposed to inaugu-
rate a spiritual campaign without
obtaining his consent.
There was a scowl on his face.
Don't be afraid" he replied jok-
ingly. Sunday is nothing but a
clown, and his circus performances
here will not amount to anything"
II don't know about that" said the
other seriously. II have reports from
some places where he has been, and
he is a dangerous man. After his
campaigns cities begin to clean up,
as they call 1t, and we want none Of
that kind Of Sunday school business
in Bronson"
"Well," responded the lawyer, II
must confess 1 knew nothing about it
until it had all been practically ar
ranged. Our new man at the Central
church seems to be at the head Of the
movement"
"I never liked that fellow, Rut-
ledge" said McCrea. "He is one Of
those confounded preachers who think
they ought to be- interfering with ev-
erybody's business"
He did pI each a strong temperance
sermon lately. understand" said the
lawyer, "and spoke somewhat severely
about our saloon regulations, but he
will soon get tired Of that kind of
thing. These new men need to be
given a little liberty, you know"
"Ill see the council and try to head
the thing off," said McCrea as he rose
to go. 1.-The visit Of such a CRATER as
Billy Sunday to Bronson is dis
grace"

Lloyd Georges Plan for Monopoly OF
Beer Manufacture.
The other day we were told that the
British islands were to embark on the
water wagon. His majesty and others
had signed the pledge and a great
body Of estimable citizens were dig
ging holes in their gardens in which to

was said some time ago by a good citi-
zen of st. Mary's county, in this state,
that the time had fully come for every
gentleman to put a barrel Of whisky
in his cellar, and vote the prohibition
ticket. That Is what we thought
England was about to do. Mr.. Lloyd
George of the British cabinet, was so
unreserved in his disapprobation OF

that men put into their mouths to
steal away their brains. That is to
say that Mr.. Lloyd-George himself has
proposed the purchase by the govern
ment of all the breweries in the land
and to establish government mon
opoly of beer manufacture. The sale OF
intoxicants as a government monopo-
ly has been undertaken in some
places-South Carolina, for instance,
and in Sweden-but we cannot recall
any instance Of government maufac-
ture Of drink. Perhaps it is a good
plan. We shall see. But it will be
a very costly one--the price Of the
breweries being variously estimated
from a billion to a. billion and half
dollars. Brewing has been a profitable
business in Merry England, and the
British peerage has been replenished
from time to time with men who
have become wealthy and eminent by
marrying brewers daughters. AS a
government industry it might not pay
so we'll.

Tho Case Of the Riggs Bank.-W

The Case Of the Riggs Bank-We
can't help but entertain slight sus-
picion that there is something more
than irregularity in its manner Of do
ing business that is subjecting the
Riggs National bank Of Washington,
to the punishment which the treasury
department is trying to inflict upon 1t.
No doubt a complete investigation Of
all the phases of the case will be ne
cessary before it will be revealed just
what the real underlying cause Of the
trouble is, but we fear that partisan
politics and factional jealousy may
have had some influence with the ad-
ministration.
1t is a serious charge which the
government has entered against the
bank, and an equally grave charge
that the bank is making against high
officials of the administration. The
Riggs bank should have the endorse
ment of the financial interests Of the
entire country in forcing the fight
ing for the reason that 1t is most
important that all the charges and
counter charges should be inveStigat-
ed and cleared up.
We have no hestancy I'm saying
here and now that i'm our opinion
both sides Of the controversy are
more or less to blame. The public
is entitled to the facts and we hope
to see the investigation pushed to n
point where there will not be left the
shadow of a doubt as to whether the
Washington bank has sinned or been
sinned against.-Greenville News.

A we'll known American newspaper
