Cooperative Store Meeting

Another meeting Of the men interested
in the proposition to start a co operative
store in Penus Grove was held in Odd
Fellows hall on Friday evening. Owing
to the extremely cold weather the atten-
dance was not as large as ut the first
meetiog, but there was a goodly number
present and discussion OF the project was
quite general. On account of the three
shifts plan of working at the powder
plants it is impossible to get all those in-
terested to attend the meeting here, SO il
was decided to hold the mex one in the
Village. A committee was named to Sc
cure a hall and fix the date.

coal was selling for 81 a ton in Newark
and also in towns between Penns Grove

A committee OF five was appointed by
the chairman to formulate plans for nper-

When this committee is ready to make

The man doesn't live who can find in the
Old Testament, or the New, prohibition of
the temperate use of wine.
On the contrary, the Old Testament fairly
teens with verses recognizing its temperate
use as altogether permissible, and even de-
sirable.
Consult your Concordance, and see how very
numerous are these verses
II the temperate use of wine, in its place,

furnished wine to the marriage feast?
If the use of wine at meals had been blanca

drink with publicans?

REPEATING ERTAINSE SECTIONS
OF THE BIBLE, and Making it A
MISDEMEANOR for Any Citizen
TO INITIATE THE PERSONAL
HABITS OF CHRIST AND
HIS DISCIPLES.

ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS and the
carrier statesmen of the Republic were
opposed, 5n principle, to all legislation which
sought to control by law those personal habits
OF the citizen which are not vioative of the
peace Of the State, or the rights of other
citizens.
In those earlier days. the decanter stood on
the side board and the Man of the-ho1se took
his dram, three time a day.
Every guest was invited to ioin his host,
and most of them did so,-and the beloved
pastor hardly ever failed to take his refresh
ing toddy when the others did.
In those days, the drink-evil, and the drug
habit we're almost unknown; and if the town
sot was d nuisance in some villages, there was
no stream of palid, anemic riczety young
men and women, setting toward the drug
store, or the Coca-Coa stand, the first thing
III the morning.
Take your stand on the streets of Atlanta
and watch those wraiths of humanity drop
ping in, one by one, for the morning dope;
and then if you have time, count their bottles
of Coca Cola, during the day: and then notice
how the young men and women, after their
final shot, at nightfall, will disappear
together
Your imagination fills out the shocking
picture.
stood on the firing line of the Temperance
fight, when [ was a boy. The first public
speech | ever made was Temperance address,
in Screven County. Rev. NJ. J. Cofer was
there, that day, and [ shared the stand with
him, at Little Horseback church.
In those days, we drew circles around meet
ing houses in the rural districts, and forbade
the sale of intoxicants within mile of old
Ebenezer, Antioch, Bethany, Salem, Bethesda,
and ELAN churches.
BY that method, we prevented John Barley
corn from disturbing public worship.
1t was only when the negroes made an oc-
casional mistake, each deacon bringing a Jug
of wine, and the parson telling them that they
were commanded to empty every jug-"Drinl1
ye all of this"-that the excessive devotion of
the congregation caused unseemly tumult
within the church itself, and enlisted the at
tention of the next grand-jury to charge of
riot.
But, of course, this mistake did not often
occur; and even when it did, the presiding
Judge had sense enough to order the Solicitor
to squash the misunderstanding, Sc
yerely, that freedom of worship must not be
impaired.
Every Camp Ground was likewise enclosed
by sacred 3-mile limits, within which no one
could drink except in imitation and COM
f1emoration of the Lord.
The drinking of wine under the Big Tent,
on Communion Day, typiied growth in grace
and progress toward Heaven: to drink wine
outside, meant that those who had drank it
inside would indict you for misdemeanor

BORROWING ON
UNCERTAIN FUTURES

Carleston American.
Columbia, May 23.-That the State
health officer can not pledge an ap-
propriationSto to be made by the next
legislature for the purpose of borrow
ing $4,000, although authorized to do
so by the legislature or 1917, for the
purpose of erecting new buildings and
making other permanent improve
ments at the State tuberculosis hos
pital at State Park, is the effect OF an
opinion rendered by the attorney gen.
erals Office today.
The legislature appropriated $4,000
to be available this year and provided
that the State health Office might
borrow $4,000 additional, to be in
cluded in the appropriation bill at the
next session Anticipating no trouble
in making the necessary arrangements
to secure the additional $4,000, con-
tracts wer recently awarded for the
new buildings authorized and other
work which is contemplated to De
done at a cost Of $4,000.
The case differs from that of items
in previous appropriation bills where
the governor, State treasurer and
comptroller general were authorized
to borrow and pledge the credit OF
the State for certain amounts in that
the courts have held that it is un-
constitutional for any legislature to
make an appropriation binding upon
the next or subsequent legislature.
1t will now be necessary for those
in charge of the work to proceed with
only half of it this year or to make
ARRANGEMENTS for securing the money
through personal sources with a view
of having it repaid by the legislature.

HOOVER OUTLINES
FOOD REGULATON

Washington, May 29-Herbert G.
Hoover, President Wilson's food ad-
ministrator, outlined his plans this
afternoon for organizing the country
so that it may be properly fed. At
the same time he will feed the allies
of the United States. A central body
will be composed of executives who
will have charge of the various food
stuffs. Under them will be boards
which will be consulted on all big
problems. These will gather infor-
nation to guide the food administra-
ton through various national, state
and local organizations.
There will be no government Coz
porations to buy and handle food, y
said Mr.. Hoover. THAT is not our
idea. It never has been and since
every branch Of food production
manufacture and distribution has con
ferred with US and offered to cooper
