COMMERCE CHAMBER
POLICY TO Be Dis.
CUSSED TUESDAY
Every Person In Maysyllle and Mason
County Interested In the Future Of
Maysville Is Urged TO Be
Present at Tuesday Nights
Banquet.

Although next Tuesday is the open
ing day of the Lexington Tobacco Mar
ket and many of our prominent busi-
ness men will be in Lexington for the
day, 1t Is thought that the majority of
these men will return to Maysville in
time to be present at the annual ban
quet to be given by the Chamber OF
Commerce at the Central Hotel at 8
o'clock.
While of course, the officers and
members of the Chamber of Commerce
are expected to be present, the invi-
tation has also been extended to our
progressive farmers and the non-mem-
bers in the city. Everyone who is in
terested in the future of the city of
Maysville is given a special invitation.
The meeting will be Just a great big
get-together meeting for all business
men. 1t will be informal and many of
our prominent business men are ex-
pected to speak during the evening.
While the annual election of Of
fcers will be very important part of
the meeting, the matter Of determin-
ing the policy of the Chamber for the
year 1920 and the outlining of plans
will also come up for discussion. The
matter of employing Secretary will
probably come before the business
men and this question may be finally
threshed out.
One of the big features of the meet
ing just announced this afternoon. is
that the Boys Band will be present
and make music in the spacious din
ing room Of the Central. Tickets for
the banquet are now being sold and
every person in Maysville and Mason
county who can possibly do SO should
be present The Chamber of Com
merce is one of the county's greatest
institutions and it should be kept NOV
ing forward for the betterment of both
city and county.

EVERY LOCAL BAPTIST
SHOULD Be IN CHURCH
ON SUNDAY MORNING
victory week in Great Baptist 75 NIL
Hon Campaign Begins on Sunday
Morning-Local Church to
Raise s11,50O Within
a Week.

Since last May members of the more
fhan two thousand Baptist churches In
the Southern Baptist Convention have
been planning for one week which be-
gins on next Sunday morning. Thru
out the Southland next week Baptists
will raise seventy-five millions Of dol
lars while in the Northern Baptist
Convention one hundred thousand dol
lars Is the goal.
Each state in the Southern conven-
ton has been apportioned its fair pro-
portion and each district association
has been given its share. Each local
church has also been assigned its fair
portion of the sum. Bracken Baptist
Association has been apportioned $62,-
900 and of this amount the First Bap-
tist church of Maysville has been ask
ed to raise $11,500.
This campaign will actually begin
on next Sunday morning. One Of the
plans of the leaders in the movement
is to have each Baptist give something
no matter how small the amount. On
Sunday morning subscriptions will be
called for and 1t is hoped that the
great majority of the members will be
present to make their pledges for this
will relieve the workers from calling
at their homes In the afternoon.
A very interesting program has
been arranged and the new pastor is
very anxious to see every one Of his
congregation present at church at the
morning service.

Arrangements Are Being Made For
District Church Meetings All Over

Movement.

Louisville, November 29.-Arrange-
ments have been completed for en-
hundreds of the outstanding
church leaders of the Protestant
churches of the south in the great re-
ligious conferences which are to be
held in the key cities of all southern
states during the first part of Decem-
ber. The conference in Lexington. is
scheduled for December s, and 10,
and the one IN Louisville will take
place on December II. Is and 10.
While these conferences will not be
so large as the various annual de-
nominational assemblies, they will be
of greater religious significance than
any similar gatherings to be held in
recent years. They will bring togeth-
er the principal leaders of the Pro.
l-testant churches to discuss some Of
the most pressing and vital problems
which have confronted the churcf
since the beginning of the nation.
"The social unrest of the presen
day, which is greater than Americt
has ever faced before, is at once tn,
churchs responsibility and oppor
tunity," says w. S. Eckart, field rep
resentative of the Iterchurch Worlt
Movement, in charge of conference ar
rangements in Kentucky. This uhres
has reached every department of tn
peoples welfare, and the situation
cries for immediate adjustment. 1t i

Anti.Saloon League President Has
Conservative Ideas on Search
and Seizure.

Louisville, KY, November 29.--lf an
effort is made in the next General As.
sembly to put through legislation for
enforcement of the prohibition amend
ment to the state constitution that is
too extreme in the powers given the
enforcement officers, 1t will be met
with protest on the part Of DIR. N. A.
Palmer, head of the Anti-Saloon
League of Kentucky.
A statement to this effect was made
today by DR.. Palmer when asked re-
garding plans for the preparation and
enactment of legislation for making
effective the amendment, which be-
comes operative after June 30, 1920,
now that the official canvass has
shown that large majority Of votes
we're cast at the election in favor Of
the amendment.
DR.. Palmer made 1t clear that both
parties are pledged to do all they can
through legislation in interest OF en-
forcement, and that he was for and ex-
pected sensible" legislation for this
purpose.
81 shall certainly protest against
any enforcement law that Is other
than sensible" he declared. at should
not be ultra-extreme. In the matter
Of searches for liquor think there
should be definite indication that law
lessness has developed as the result oi
the possession Of liquor before &
search is made. In other words the
enforcing laws should be such as t
make it possible always to reach th'
man who is lawless"
