TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TIE $500 RATE.

"A very large numDer OF Enter
prise subscribers are taking advan-
tage of the dollar rate, which is ex-
tended to Jan. 1, next. After that
date, all subscriptions will be $3.50
year, payable in advance.
Many of those whose names appear
below have paid for two and three,
and one for five years in advance.
By paying before Jan. /, you get the
paper at 81 year, and we give you
the privilege of paying for as many
years as you wish at the dollar rate,
but payment must be made prior to
Jan. / to entitle subscribers to this
rate.
1t. is not necessary to shoot off a
lot of hot air here as to why we can't
continue publishing good county
newspaper for 81 per year. Every
fair minded person in the country
knows we simply can't do it, and we
are not going to try your patience
by enumerating the many reasons
why it can't be done-reasons which
are as patent to you as to us.
The Enterprise is giving its readers
the very best to be had We are
even setting our paper in smaller
type to enable us to accommodate the
large amount of news matter which
a good county newspaper is required
to handle. Just a few years ago we
gave about IL columns of news mat
ter a week-now we give more than
twice IL columns and it set in small
er type, enabling us to handle at least
a third more matter
Below we give you list of the
New and Renewals up to last Friday
evening. 1t is long list and speaks
for itself 1t shows that our patrons
want to keep up with the county,
state and war news. They are re-
newing their subscription to the En-
terprise in large numbers. And you,
Mr.. Advertiser, might take a gentle
hint from this long list of weekly
readers of the Enterprise. They all
have money to spend. They are 60
ing to spend it with the merchant
who advertises. We advise them to
do this. We stand behind every ar
ticle advertised in the Enterprise.
We back up every statement made
by our advertisers A travelling sales
man made the statement to a dealer
in Dresden just the other day that
the only way the big mail order hous-
es sell goods is through judicious,
constant advertising. Furthermore,
he prophesied that unless the small
town dealer adopted the same plan,
rendered the same service and put
the same pep into his business that
the mail order house does, the small
dealer would soon be out Of business
This, too, is our sentiment, frequent
ly expressed in these columns.
The Enterprise offers the panacea
for just such state of affairs-ad-
vertising to the people of the whole
county.
Here are the new and renewal sub
scribers up to last Friday evening:

STOCK MARKET

New York, May 14.-The most sig
niflcant feature Of todays early trad
ing in stocks was an abrupt decline of
81 points in American Mating pre-
ferred, presumably based on the anti
liquor legislation now before Congress.
In most other quarters of the list de-
cided firnness was shown. United
States Steel and allied industrials rose
from material fractions to point.
Central Leather, Texas Co., Baldwin
Locomotive, Consolidated Gas, Indus
trial Alcohol and Atlantic, Gulf & West
Indies registered similar gains, and
Pullman advanced IN points. Rail-
roads also improved moderately.
Noon-Business became lethargic
after the first half hour and prices
ebbed until practically nothing re-
manned of initial gains: St. Paul led
the reaction, falling two points to
69%, a low record for years. Other
railroads, notably coalers and New
York Central, fell to or under last
weeks final quotations. Confusion in
TIE grain markets and another rever-
sal in Russian exchange made for
greater speculative caution. Steels,
shipping and oils proved superior to
pressure, however, and contributed
measurably to the improvement of the
second hour. Bonds were heavy.

Business Side of The Conference.

Did it ever occur to you that there
is business side to these Bible Con-
ferences, and that the people of Cres-
cent City, especially the business man
ought to be tremendously interested?
This is the Fourteenth Annual Con-
ference, and the attendance has been
larger than any of the former meet
ings. The town has been filled with
people; Grove Hall has been filled to
overlooking and every available room
in town that could be rented has been
occupied. One Of the prominent Of
ficials of the conference told The
News that dozens of his friends who
were anxious to come did not do so
because he was obliged to advise them
that the town could not furnish them
the accommodations they required.
They were people who wanted rooms
in hotel that could furnish private
baths. Grove Hall has few of these
but they were all engaged. Others
of our annual visitors have had to
advise friends who required these
accommodations not to come.
Crescent City must have new ho-
tel, one that can furnish these needs.
There is need, pressing need for such
a hotel, provided Crescent City is to
grow and this Conference is to be-
come the national affair it was de-
signed to become. With such hotel
Grove Hall would still be crowded.
These conferences not only appeal to
a certain class of rich people who will
put up with nothing short of the best,
but they appeal to the great body of
religious common people who cannot
afford to put up" at high priced
hotel.
1t is time something was "didding."
If Crescent City business men cannot
find the capital here, they can at least
start movement with the view of
finding it elsewhere. One thing has
been proven by this years conference,
and that the fact that good 100
room hotel with modern conveniences
would prove paying proposition, and
that without interfering with any es-
tablished hotel business. Crescent
CITY must have this hotel or stand
STILL
K. Borson has been keeping mag
nificent site for hotel for several
years: he has refused several times to
sell the property to private individ-
uals. 1t is the property on Prospect
street next south of Mrs. Lyons and
running through to the lake. It is an
ideal location. Mr.. Borson will, we
understand. sell this property for a
hotel location even cheaper than he
has asked for adjoining propertv, the
difference being his contribution to the
ENTERPRISE. Won't somebody start
along this line?

Valuable Piece of Property.

According to the figuring of the
New York tax department in its 1917
estimate, the Grand Central station is
the most valuable single property in
the city. Its value is reckoned at $2l,-
100000. The Equitable building and
site covering the block between Mas
sua street, Broadway, Pine and Cedar
streets is assessed at value of $2o,-
100000, and the Pennsylvania station
is believed to be worth $15,9S0, 900, ac-
cording to current values. The Metro
politan Life Insurance company build
ing is taxed at So, 100000; B. Altman
4 Co.'S dry goods store is rated as the
most valuable, at $14,10O,OOO, and the
Waldorf-Asto taxed at $11,65O,OOO,
is the most valuable hotel.

Mr.. Egbert Dayton Williams, since
1876 a well-known citizen of Crescent
City, died at the home of his sisters
the Misses Clarissa H. and Bessie A.
Williams, at an early hour on Wednes-
day morning.
Mr.. Williams had been an invalid
for many years and therefore was lit
tie known to the present generation
of our people by reason of keeping
close to his home. Though an invalid,
vet he was always able to be UP and
about the house and grounds.
He was a native of Long Island,
New York and for some time previ-
Gus to coming to Crescent City lived
in Brooklyn, where his father, the late
Rev. DIR. C. S. Williams, was rector
of st. Mathews Episcopal church. For
a time Mr.. Williams was member
of the staff of Henry Ward Beecher's
paper, and it is said that at one time
he declined the chair of Greek Ian
guage in Union Theological Seminary.
He was known for his proficiency in
Greek and Latin languages, and was
also learned in French, Spanish and
NtIlldHs bui illS an hio nv SNSh
during the years of his invalidism, he
was a great student and reader, and
few men of this generation were bet
ter posted concerning current events
in the worlds progress.
He was the first teacher of the Cres
cent City school, a position he held
only a short time He was about sc
years of age. He was confined to
his bed but a day or two previous
to his death.
The funeral was held on Thursday
morning and was attended by large
circle of his old friends and neigh
bors. Rev. Alfred Taylor of the Epis-
copal church offciated. The inter
ment was in the family lot in Pal
mettp cemetery-directlv back of the
Episcopal church. The surviving
relatives are Mrs. Henry Hutchinson,
Sr., of Palatka. Misses Clarissa II.
and Bessie A. Williams of this place,
and Mr.. Goldsmith H. Williams of
New York. They have the deep
sympathv of all citizens of the place
in their bereavement.

Therein Lay Danger.

A new arrival at certain boarding
house was man who had taken part
in famous Arctic exploration, and at
dinner time he often regaled the other
boarders with stories Of his adven-
lures.
"Yes," he said, after one particu-
larly thrilling description, 1--WE were
slowly starving to death. Just when
things were at the last gasp, one fell
low had an idea; he cut up our boots
and made soup of them, and"
"Hush, hushi" hissed all the other
boarders, anxiously. Don't let the

ONE MORE WEEK Of
BIBLE CONFERENCE
Union Meetings Will Mark
the Worship of Next
Sunday.
Present Conference Best Attended,
Most Interesting of Series-SpiendId
Singing Marked Feature.

The attendance and interest in the
Bible Conference continues in spite of
the fact that it is now entering on the
fifth week of meetings. The sessions
will continue, as announced, to March
29.
Doctor Scofield will conclude his Sc
ries on the whole Bible, which has
been running from the first, with this
week and is obliged to leave a few
days before the close of the conference
to attend an important meeting in
Philadelphia. Rev. Lewis S. Chafer
will take up the closing work assigned
to Doctor Scofeld.
Mr.. Charles G. Trumbull, Editor of
the Sunday School Times, concluded
his series last week and was, beyond
question, one of the most helpful
teachers the conference has ever in
vited to Crescent City.
Rev. VIM. l.. Pettingill of Philadel-
phia will conclude his series on the
"Outlines of Prophecy this week.
Mr. Pettingill is we'll known in this
conference and the present series of
lectures are creating the deepest in
terest. Very much light is being
thrown upon the present events in the
world war in their relation to the
great plan of God as set forth in the
Scriptures. Mr.. Pettingill is able to
speak with a great degree of authori-
ty on these subjects as few in this
country are more conversant with the
exact statements of the Bible.
Rev. George H. Dowkontt of New
York, who is the last of the speakers
for this season has arrived and already
at work in the series on "The Be
levers Life and Service" which has
been assigned to him. Mr.. Dowkontt
will be able to conclude the whole tes-
timony of this conference and will
prove here, as always, to be one of the
most helpful leaders in Christian life
and thought of this day. Mr.. CHATTER
and Mr.. Dowkontt will be the teachers
for the closing week.
The conference has never had better
singing. The congregational singing
will hardly be equaled in any gather
ing of the size, north or south. Much
is manifest in the new song
containing recent songs
written by Mr.. and Mrs. Chafer. Each
evening service is preceded by song
service. Several we'll known gospel
singers have been present. Mr..
Strong of New York, Miss Mary E.
Reilly of Harrisburg, Pa, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Chafer of New York. Mrs. Dow
kontt is also often heard as a gospel
singer in great meetings in New York
and it is hoped that her health will
permit her to have some part in this
conference before the close.
The Presbyterian, Baptist and Meth
odist churches will unite with the con-
ference for all of the services of next
Sunday. The morning service will be
held in the Auditorium at 10:45, and
afternoon meeting at $3.50 and the
usual evening service at 1880. The
speakers for these services will be an
'ounced from the platform late this
week.
