DEATH OF SNAIL CHILD

On the evening Of March 10th the
death angel entered the home of Mr..
A.. p. Hodge and took away his little
girl.
Thelma was such sweet child, not
quite five years Old. We all grieve to
think of her SO young to meet such an
untimely death, but it is not for us to
question Gods decree. He knows best.
She was burned while playing
around q fire in the yard about sunset
on Tuesday, anI all that medical aid
could do was of no avail and she died
in the Sumter hospital Wednesday
evening at $50.
Our sympathy goes out to the be-
reayed family in this their sad hour
and may God comfort them.
Just few hours ago she was with us,
With laughing eyes and curly hair,
But the Lord in his infinite wisdom
Has now taken her from all earth
ly care.
Thelma, how they all shall miss YOU:
You were alw2ys full of glee,
But no more shall they hear your
voice
For you are now where we long
some day to be.
How often has she greeted them,
Between the house and store,
But they have stopped their last time
TO pick Thelma up any more.
Shall Thelma be glad when thus
We shall have crossed the crystal
sea
How often when we boarded there
She would some to our room -
And ask us in her childish way
If we wanted any wood
We called her our little question box
She never lacked for words.
She was always ready on the spot
70 reply to anything she had heard
But now she has gone from us all
Why should we grieve to have hel
again ?
For she has answered her last call
And is free from all her pain.

Having heard arguments in the

The two appeal cases apply princi-
pally to the validity Of the prohibi-
tion amendment in so far as it relates
to the manufacture Or beer alleged to

won the former but lost the latter case
in the lower courts.
The court also took under advise
ment motions asking that arguments
be heard on appeals involving inter-
Bretations of the amendment and the
,Nolstead act docketed today from New
= York and San Francisco. The former
appeal resulted from the denial of in
functions to prevent federal agents

In view of the multiplicity of re-
dMests for hearing, the court proposed
