II will work no serious hardship

menaced by the German navy.
II will also move to the ports of

IF there Is any alarm In this
section, II is not widespread. The
attitude of mind of the cotton

They all learned their lesson
last year, and they are profiting
by 1t.
The banks of rhe South

menting on the British contra
band of cotton. says:
THE action of the allies In de-
claring cotton contraband, both as
to its news and its effect has been
largely discounted. That our gov
eminent will protest and protest
strongly there Is no doubt There
will be sharp diplomatic cor
respondence respecting the mat
ter and our government may adopt
a policy that will lessen greatly
the benefits that the allies are
receiving from this country.
Much, however, will depend upon
the effect that the making OF
cotton contraband will have upon
the price of cotton and the pro-
vision the allies make for as
sisting in the marketing of cot
ton in the neutral countries of
Europe.
When Russia in her war with
Japan proposed to make cotton
conditional contrahand, Great
Britain protested vigorously She
now asserts that she has q per-
feet legal right TO make cotton
contra band. A oeIIigerent easily
finds arguments TO do what 1t
wants to do where the rights OF
neutrals are concerned and has
the power"

boarding money and not buying is
~stagnating business and knocking mil

OF additional engines, coaches, freight
cars, hundreds of tons of steel rails
Other railway systems followed the

worth Of orders for equipment. I'm

established, many manufacturing
plants were %reopened and hundreds

A short but inspiring service at the

fact that the last and star attraction

who wants to have his own way about
one single thing" was the way Mr.
Jones expressed this. The furthe,
away a man gets from the shore, 1. e..
the more he trusts Christ, the less he
wants to cling to the shore, the less
he is tempted by the devil to put his
faith In the shore. rather than on the
deep expanse of Jesus loving bosom
Just here Mr.. Jones stopped for q
minute to tell of his own experience
I'm this regard. He said that he was
not an evangelist through choice, but
because God wanted him to be. The
decision was made at 2 o'clock one
night I'm a bed room of a hotel In q
little Louisiana town, after he had
tried to argue this or that reason why
ne should not accord with divine will.
And that Is the way with so many
newly made Christians, they push
their little boats out into the sea, but
before they can get far enough away
from the land, q snag, a rock, or a
storm overturns them. Sometimes,
however, n gets away u safely
where only sky and sea are evident.
Then they are truly out I'm the at
mosphere OF Gods love. And when
you do, o have unexplainable hap
piness enter your life, for IF you can
tell all you've seen of the matchless
love of God, you haven't seen much"
Approaching the other shore. after
getting out OF the grip OF the shore
you are leaving behind you. you see
the signs of Gods goodness and mercy
manifested, just as Columbus saw the
moving light. and the live branch of
a tree floating near his ship.
There were no fish In shallow water
for the fishermen to catch, and so In
life. Bob Jones says you must get out
where the water Is deep. Give what
you have TO Gods use, whether 1t be
voice. imagination. personality or
what not. Turn your business into
n pulpit" just as Peter freely turned
over his boat to Christ. And there
are plenty OF fish to be caught. The
father should be sure to catch his son.
the mother her daughter, the bust
ness man his friend, and so on. al
pity the man who can't catch his own
son for Christ"
Telling the functions of the mod
ern revival. Mr.. Jones said 1t Is where
men bring their friends to Christ one
at q time. and 1t was up to everybody
TO try to Catch fish for God"
As a parting question Mr.. Jones
asked: 'All Of you who will say Bob
Jones' by the help of God I'll bring
at least one sou to Jesus Christ dur
ing this revival stand up" A good
portion OF the audience stood. The
speaker then requested all who felt
that they were not right themselves
and hence not I'm position to help
bring others to Christ, but who want
ed to be prayed for. TO stand up. A
number of men and women took adj
vantage of this offer.

TWO DISTINCT C1tlADi.A-,
BORN WITH BUT ONE
HEAD.
Chilren Born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Andre Foreman at nudge,
Yesterday at II o'clock

Two perfect baby girls were
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Andre Fore
man, near Ridge, this parish, yes
terday morning at IL O'Clock with
only one head. The children are
separate and distinct Ill every
respect except that they are
bound at or near the neck and
from there on become one. again
with the exception that each child
has it's own separate eyes, mouth,
nose. limbs and organs-but only
one brain and positively only one
head. Both children are at TINS
writing, well and being nursed by
the mother as two distinct and
separate children would be.
DR.. j. O. Duhon, who made the
delivery of the freak, is OF the
opinion that the children will not
live. He says further, that to
his knowledge, the medical pro
fession has yet to record a like
case.
The twins, if they can be SO
called, weighed at birth twelve
pounds to the ounce. The doctor
says that in the event that the
twins do not live that he is gong
to have them preserved in alec
hol. In his opinion as a physi-
elan, it is one Of the most freak
ish works Of nature ever record
ed and for those reasons and adj
ditionally for the benefit of the
profession to which he belongs,
he believes the twins should be
preserved as one case on record
where two separate children were
brought to earth with only one
head. He says further that one
has to see the twins to appreciate
the worth of this freakish twist
