not only that, but the higher
courts have decided that a two
thirds majority is not necessary
to decide a popular question that
, a majority are in favor of.
In o.herwords the majority
have a right to be favored rather
than the minority. While we are
commencing ourselves and ex-
ending mutual congratulations
for what has been accomplished,
let us make further survey of our
social and civic environments.

ments, may we quote from HOLY

of Our lawyers quoted on recent

graphic advantages of erecting a
water tower or reservoir, the latter
preferable. Furthermore, we need
not point to, nor elaborate on the
epidemic of typhoid fever, that
has been, and remains a menace
to our town and surrounding com.
mupity. In our haste and zeal
for the pushing of commercial en-.
terprizes we have ignored, or al
least neglected the most vita
question to the progress of any
community.
The sanitary condition of the

more importance than streets, side

ALEXANDER NOT TO
LEAVE N. & P. BANK
Rumor That President Contemplated
Resigning is Declared Entirely
without Foundation.

The rumor that s. c. Alexander
contemplated resigning the presi-
dency Of the Merchants & planters
bank is entirely without foundation,
according to Mr.. Alexander and A.
who were asked yesterday about the
rumor that has been circulated for
several days.
Il know nothing about it." said Mr..
Foster, and if there is any founda-
ito for the rumor it would be a sur
prise to me-"
Mr.. Alexander said he has no idea
of resigning the presidency of the
bank" and would continue to devote
the same time and interest to the af-
fairs Of the institution as he has in
the past.
The rumor probably had its origin
in the announcement that the S. c.
Alexander Cotton company had been
dissolved, and that the business
would be' continued by S. G. Alex
ander & company, q co-parttnershin
composed of Mr.. Alexander, D. P
Burford and Virginias Alexander
son of S. c, Alexander.
Mr.. Alexander said this change
would not effect his direction of the
banks affairs in any way, that the
cotton business would be- managed
jointly by him and Mr.. Burford and
that he would remain 'as the head Of
the Merchants & Planters bank, Civ.
ing the position the same close ant
conscientious attention.
Since NJ. Alexander has been al
the head of the Merchants e Planters
it has maintained its steady growth
ard today is regarded as one of the
strongest institutions in the country
and as progressive: as safe and con
sentative banking rules permit. The
institution has become recognized as
leader in the work of development
of business and resources, yet is
known one of the most carefully
managed banks in the South. The
fact that it is not to lose Mr.. Alex
ander as it's directing head will be
gratifying to the institutions numer-
GUS friends and patrons.

BAPTISTS ASK
nationwide
PROHIBITION
Resolutions Also Request
Better Protection for
Public Speakers.

Asheyille. n c., May 22.-The
Southern Baptist convention at its
closing session here today adopted
resolutions asking for an enactment
of a national prohibition law; urging
that the District of Columbia be
made prohibition territory, and re-
ouesting better police protection be
given public speakers.
The resolutions declared that "it is
alarming to note the frequency with
which freedom of speech and of the
press is being interfered with in our
cities and towns" It was explained
that while the protest had reference
to mob violence against persons lee
turing on religious subjects, it eX-
pressed opposition also to mob VIC
lence by whomsoever and against
whomsoever directed"
In the course of the debate on this
subject, speakers denounced the bill
pending to make the postmaster-gen-
eral the supreme censor OF the de-
nomina tional and secular press "by
giving him authority to refuse the use
of the mails" to publications which
he may decide should be denied that
right.
Another bill pending in congress,
which it was declared would give a
Judge in the District of Columbia the
right to "consign without trial. a
child to any "home" or other institu-
ton he saw fit, also came in for cen
sure. Neither of these subjects, how
ever, were included in the resolu-
tons.
Freedom in speech and of press
was the keynote of number OF
sneakers and the Rev. Lem d.
Broughton of Knoxville, Tenn. took
occasion to declare that while he
would not curtail the freedom of the
press, he would be pleased to see
some method by which the newspa-
pers, when a sensational crime is
committed, might not try the case
and bring in the verdict before the
case came up in court.
The prohibition resolution came up
in the report of committee, and its
adoption put Southern Baptists on
record as "unalterably opposed to LID
uor. gambling, dens of vice, child Ia
Dor. and the sweat shop"
The woman's organization held its
last session Saturday. AS an auxil-
larry to the convention, the union
meets each year.
