ton OF the membership attending.
During the session, a resolution was
introduced that the secretary, Trevey

against the constant violation Of the
traffic ordinances Of the City Of Fair
mont, and insisting that each mem
her do his part toward lettering con-
ditions. The resolution was adopted

vote Of the association. In the dis
cussion 1t was brought out that the
reckless driving Of automobiles in
and about the city has become men
ace to the safety of citizens. That
people are becoming afraid to appear
on the highways with their cars, and
that pedestrians are in continual dam
ger. It was urged that action be TAX
en- before some fearful accident oc-
ours.
The quarterly report Of the secre-
sse.sSTy and treasurer was heard, follow
ASby a short business session.
1.-THE letters concerning the viola
ion of the traffic, laws, which were
mailed today, read as follows:
Dear sir-The Business Mems
Association, at its regular June
Quarterly Meeting. held yesterday
evening, directed US to address you
as to Fairmont's traffic situation
relative to automobiles. II you are
the owner of car or truck, this
letter will be of special interest to
you.
It appears that the reckless driv-
ing Of automobiles in and about
our city has become real menace.
The speed law is being violated
unchecked almost every minute Of
the day. Many people are becom-
ing afraid to appear upon our
streets and roads with their cars.
! and pedestrians are in continual
danger. If this condition con-
tinues some traffic calamity is sure
to overtake US.
II you are the owner of a pleas
ure car, or truck used in or about
your business, drive it carefully
: and below the speed limit, and gem
orally observe all traffic laws, both
city and state. II you hire your
car or truck driven, give special in
structions and directions to your
driver to do the same, and follow
the matter up by enforcing your
orders.
We are sure that you will do
your part In correcting this situa-
ton. which ought not to exist for
q day.

is SEEN ELSEWHERE

Gypsy Smiths work is receiving
much attention in the West Florida
press, and one of the latest opinions
is thus voiced by The Apalachiccea
Times:
Gypsy Smith, the evangelist, has
been hard at work doing his best to
convert Pensacolians, and it seems
as if his work has been fruitful of
good results, for many old sinners
have fessed up promising to pay their
debts and to lead better lives in the
future. There are people who say
they don't believe in revival meet
ings because people who join the
church during these meetings seldom
last long, and religion must be per
manent if the sinner is to be bene-
fitted. We can't agree to this opin-
ion because good has been accom-
plished even if that good is short
lived. Anyway, there is nothing bet
ter than a good, old-fashioned revival
to stir up the better side of man
and a woman occasionally. Even the
real Christians need to be reminded
of their duty occasionally, and lit
tie shouting and few amens help to
make better citizens and stronger
community. Let there be more re-
vivals. Don't grow stagnant. If you
do you will die.

PROHIBITION WATTS
ON NATL. DEFENSE

Washington, D. c., March 25.-In
view of the grave international crisis
facing the United States and because
of its belief that all the attention of
congress should be directed to meas
ures for national defense, the passage
by congress Of the national prohibi-
ton amendment will not be urged by
the board of temperance of the Meth
odist Episcopal church according to
a statement today by Rev. Clarence
Wilson, secretary of the board. Mr..
Wilson states the belief that the last
session of congress and President
Wilson did all that was possible for
prohibition. "Prohibitionists are not
ungrateful," says Mr.. Wilson, "nor
are they disposed to nag at the house
representatives or the senate or the
president at a time when men of all
opinions should concentrate on prob
lens cf the national defense and the
organization of the national indus
tries TO meet the strains of the war
In his statement, Mr.. Wilson says
that it is the opinion of all prohibi
tionists that the national constitution
amendment should be passed at the
earlies possible time and if prohibi
ton comes as war measure the
whole country must spontaneously
demand it. Mr., Wilson also expresse:
the hope that the liquor manufactur.
ers now will turn their attention tx
making their plants manufactures.
