The drilling of the we'll at the city

unable to get any storage cars into

During the session, petition call

petition being signed by 55 Nymore

General Orders to 10th.

The following farewell address
from Col. Minor to his men Of
the 10th infantry, recently dis.
charged, is sent the Post Dispatch
by Chas. E. Ashworth, Jr., who
was a member of that regiment
that was so largely responsible
for breaking the Hindenburg line.
Headquarters l2Oth Infantry
American Expeditionary Forces
France, March 9th, 1919.
To the officers and men of 10th In
fantry:
|. A few more days and we shall en-
bark for home. No one knows how the
detachments will be handled but the
chances are many of US will never meet
again.
2. This regiment came into the service
as National Guard unit from. North
Carolina, augmented later by national
guardsmen from South Carolina and Ten
nessee, and still later by selective draft
men from several camps, the principal
units now being as follows: North Caro-
lima 1858, Tennessee 406, Indiana 281,
Kentucky 259 and many other detach-
ments, until today every state in the IN
ion is represented except four. North
Carolina will claim us as her own and we
are justly proud Of the record her sons
have made, but we owe a debt of graft
tude to the other loyal sons from many
states, who helped to make our glorious
record, that we can never repay, and
which can never be forgotten.
B. Today this regiment and its record
belongs to the individual men who com
pose it, as priceless heritage. wherever
you may go. Its achievements must ever
remain a brilliant chapter in American
Military History, and particularly 50 in
the Both Division, in which splendid Di-
vision you have played the leading part.
4. How you were moulded into an eff
cient fighting unit that knew no North,
South, East or West; how you bore the
first shock Of battle, and then with thin
ner ranks pressed on and on. laughing at
dangers, with never murrnur and never
4 complaint Is story too long to be told
here.
A In parting with you It Is my one de-
sire to let you know your efforts are ap-
preciated and admired and i hope that
your pleasant associations with the 10th.
Infantry may linger in your memories
long after your hardships are forgotten.
That you may return to your homes.

MANY MINISTER'S SALARIES
Will bo Raised by Drive In tho South
crn Methodist Church.

Nashville, Tenn. March. 1.-Many
Methodist ministers in every South
ern and Western State who have
been trying to exist on intinitesimal
incomes during the past years will
have their salaries raised within the
next few months. This very practi-
cal and definite step IS to be taken
by the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, following the financial drive
of that denomination in April. The
drive, which has $35,000,O00 as it's
goal. has been undertaken with a
view to putting the work Of the
church on a business basis, the rails
ing of the salaries of their underpaid
pastors being considered one Of the
first matters Of importance.
There are S66 salaries now $400
or less, which will be raised to $500;
4S5 salaries now $400 and $500,
which will be raised to $500; 5SS
salaries, now $500 and 500, which
will be raised to $1,000 a year; 637
salaries from $500 to $500 to be
raised to $1,000; and $50 salaries
ranging from $500 to 5000. which
will also be raised to $1,000 The
supplementing Of these salaries will
require $2,S50,000 during the forth
coming five years. and the success Of
the Centenary drive" will make
their increase Immediately possible
Practically every city and town
throughout the length and breadth
Of Southern Methodism will be
affected, it is declared at the head
quarters Of the denomination in
Nashville, and every Methodist man
and woman who ''pulls to- on the
Centenary drive will be helping to
make possible better and happier
conditions for the underpaid pas
tors in their midst.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1910.
INWISE IIENIENCY.

We can but view with deep regret
the extreme lenicncy with which the
Court is dealing with violators Of
the State liquor laws. Sentences
ranging in length Of service from 30
to 60 days. with alternative fines
of from $l0O to $40 are but prcmi-
ms on law violations.
What does the vendor OF liquors
care for ii fine Of $50 for violation
OF the law when he can go out and
"cll two gallons Of liquor and come
into Court and pay his fine? Such
extreme lcnicncy amounts to but IL
iarcc. and the law vi0lutOrS are de-
lighted with this mode Of law viola
lion and rratiCal freedom from pun
iShment. When our Courts learn to
dral with severity with the liquor
law violalors we may have what the
people have endorsed and voted for
ii dry county. SO long as vio-
latorS can 20 their way rejoicing
over ludicrously light sentences. so
long are we going to have liquor
dealing in our midst.
That is our opinion in the mat,cr.
And il is also our opinion that ii
fines ranging from $500 to $500 had
been supposed. the violatOrS would
