stated repeatedly that it is willing to
do even more than its share to have

Appeal for More Red Cross Members.

America has awakened to what
this war means in personal service
and sacrifice. What their country
needs Americans will give. Through
their American Red Cross they have
already given much that will make
the hard, dangerouslife over there"
more endurable. But now the hour
for half-measures is over. Nothing
that can be done for the comfort and
safety of Our Boys" must be left
undone. We call America en- masse to
Join US and creates a Greater Red Cross.
Continental America has over one
hundred million inhabitants. Some
five million have joined the Red Cross.
That is we'll, but it is only good
start. There should be twenty mil
lion members, and it is the present
purpose of the Christmas Drive OF
the Red Cross to enroll at least ten
million members.
Now that our sons, brothers and
husbands are laying down their lives
for US, we are behind them with all
that we have and are" The Red
Cross exists to turn our desires to
comfort and aid them into swift,
practical measures of service. Ameri-

The vote in the House, taken after
day of debate before crowded gal
leries, was 282 to 1913, with the par
ties dividing almost evenly. The
margin for prohibition wasjust eight
votes more than the necessary two
thirds of the membership of the
House required for adoption, and
tventy-six more than two-thirds Of
those voting.
Both vets and drys had been pre-
dieting victory all day, and it was
not until the last few names had
been called that the anti-prohibition
forces conceded their defeat.
After Speaker Clark announced
the result the victors were joined in
the galleries in such demonstration
as is rarely permitted in the House.
Former Secretary Bryan, an inter-

The resolution passed by the House
is identical with that passed by the
Senate last August, except that it
gives the States seven years instead
of six in which to ratify the amend

the resolution, predicted tonight that
the Senate would accept the amend

would be approved, and he did not

FATAL SHOOTING
FRIDAY EVENING

AT MOORE'S x ROADS---N. r. MILES
BADLY CUT, EUGENE COOK DEAD
TWO ARRESTS FOR THE CRIME.
Last Friday n R Miles, farmer
about IS years old, went to Lake
City and secured a couple of quarts
of whiskey, for which he paid, in
money, a handsome sum, and which
later came near costing his own life,
and did actually cause that of ano-
ther. But such is the gruesome his
tory connected with old booze ever
since the brain of man conceived a
method and began converting whole
some fruits and grains into poison
Gus, alcoholic beverages.
The story Of this case as it comes
to us is sad one-particularly so
because right young boy, Dewey
Spring, just past his fifteenth birth
day, is seriously involved, and now
lies in the county Jail, awaiting in
dictment and trial on a charge OF
murder. This young boy was not
drunk; nor had he anything to do
with the procuring or disposition Of
the liquor, yet he is made, through
its use by others, to pass through an
ordeal of bitter experience.
The case is briefly this,as we have
learned it:
Miles went to Lake City, got two
quarts of whiskey, and, returning
home, met Eugene Cook and Beas-
ley Gray, who accompanied him
home, and partook freely OF thewhis-
key. When nearly all the whisky had
been consumed by the three men,
Miles, Cook and Gray, Mrs Miles
took the bottle and what remained
in it, and put it away. For thisgen-
erous act on her part, Cook attempt
ed to strike her; Miles interceded,
and a small row resulted. Cook and
Gray then left the Miles home, and
Miles went to bed. Shortly after
ward he was awaked by Cook and
Gray at his door, who said they had
a secret to tell him. Miles got up
and went to the door, when he was
assaulted and his throat cut by one
of the men, asserted to be Beasley
Gray.
Cook and Gray left the house.
Mrs Miles, realizing the condition
of her husband, started her son,
Dewey Spring, and younger broth
er after doctor, Dewey carrying a
shotgun. When a short distance
from the Miles home, it is alleged,
he was set upon by Cook and Gray
who were in the highway near the
crossroads and who, the boy claims,
attempted to prevent him from get
ting the doctor. The boy Dewey
Spring claims that he warned Cook
and Gray not to interfere with him,
that if they did he would shoot
them.
Cook was shot in the chest anG
face and was unconscious when sew
eral nearby residents reached him
| few moments after the shooting. He
was taken home and died Saturday
morning.
Dewey Spring and Beasley Gray
are in Jail here, the former charged
with shooting Cook and the latter
with cutting Miles.
AC Kinds, Esq, has been retained
by Miles to represent his stepson in
the case and attended the Coroner's
hearing yesterday.
