Allison and McCIeIland
 Were Not Found Guilty

Below we publish letter from Warren Allison in correction of the article in Wednesdays Spec tator which stated that Allison and McClelland each drew fines, which we later learned was a mis- take. The erroneous article was taken from the Little Rock Gazette and the error was un- intentional on our part, hence we cheerfully make the cor rection. MT. Allison's letter follows:
 Gentlemen:-
 'I would like to say to the readers of The Spectator that the article in Wednesdays issue about the night riders is a mis- take to some extent, as 1 was there and know the facts in the matter. Two men were fined $1 and costs each. One man plead ed guilty and was fined the same. On examining the wit nesses against Warren Allison Harrison McClelland and A. N. Nicks nothing was found against them and they were discharged. I will say that 1 am not. never was and never expect to be a night rider and don't want to be accused of any such thing.

The Laboring Man Would
 be Injured.

Liquor journals and liquor orators claim that the liquor traffic benefits the laboring man. Labor discovers upon investigation that the claims are not founded upon facts. A few days ago the president of the Cooks union of the city of Chicago said that the biggest foe to their union in that city was the beer trust. This is but one instance where labor leaders have said about the same thing. Here is what Uncle Sam's figures for the years of 1899 to 1909 show:
 Increase n wages n prohibition states, 103 percent.
The Ozark spectator., 1916-09-23

Increase in wages in near prohibition states, 77 percent.
 Increase in wages in partial license states, 75 percent.
 Increase in wages in license states, 61 percent.
 Government statistics show that al industries of the United States taker together employ 359 wage earners for each one million dollars of capital in. vested. These same statistics show that the liquor industry employs only 8l wage earners for each one million dollars of capital invested.

The Methodist Church
 at Webb City, Arkansas

We have closed a good meeting at Webb City, having many con- versions and sixteen accessiOns to the church. The people are alive and active and are now at work. The pastor desires to ex- press his appreciation for the cooperation and hearty support the people of that community, not only of the Methodists, but of all alike, have given him in the work. He has known many of these people from his youth and surely knows how to appreciate them. They have done noble part by the pastor financially. We believe that they will come up with every dollar both for the pastor and for the correctional claims. They did literally at the close of the meeting and the following Wednesday nightUthey had a box supper after preaching nearly everybody taking part, and raised again at this time $27.70. They do this with such a cheerful spirit that it makes the pastor feel good. We wish to express ourselves as to the young people. There are some of the finest young people we ever met anywhere. The order was perfect and they were just all we could wish as to their order and respect. There were many fine workers in the meet ing. Nearly the entire choir was converted. The choir was very faithful and competent. They were always at their places notwithstanding the fact that it was a very busy time. For all these things the pastor heartily thanks the people.
 At the conclusion of this meet ing the number of conversions for the year ran up to 4O4V Since that time there have been ten more, making 414 in allA We yet expect much more good to be done before the close of the conference year. l am well pleased and feel as 1 did at the first of the year, that 1 have the best circuit in the district. We hope to come up on all financial claims that we may show our faith by our works. Let all work together for the good of the kingdom.
 Yours for the advancement of the Kingdom.
