The most important new discovery
today was the finding of what detec-

was a special chicken and barbed
wire fence which Hall ordered Mills
to build about shed in the rear
of the church. Detectives said they
were informed that on occasions
neighbors had seen Hall and Mrs,
Mills leave the church separately, by
rear door and go to this shed. The
barbed wire barrier. the detectives
said, prevented anyone from ap-
preaching from the rear.

The directors of the Y. NJ. C. A. Of
Bessemer have called a meeting OF
citizens to be held on Tuesday eve
ming at the Chamber of Commerce
at 1880 o'clock, October 10. The eN-
ecutive committee has deemed 1t 'ad-
visable to collect Immediately sub
seriptions past due on the building
fund and the entire community 10
asked to assist in the work.
Those who have the responsibility
of this great community service feel
that the need and necessity of raising
funds to pay off interest bearing
debt is not fully realized by the citi-
zens. When the debt is cleared. the
work of the interior win begin and
the community win realize the great
benefit that will result when the
building is completed.
1t is believed that if at this time
subscriptions are paid. and a little
pep and plenty of enthusiasm are
injected into the project the Y. NJ
C. A. in Bessemer will reach a posi-
ton where it will be able to serve
the youth of the community.
The directors are asking every citi-
zen to meet with them on Tuesday
evening.

Chambers Of Commerce Laud
Prohibition Benefits.

Prohibition is a civic asset accord
ig to many of the Chambers of Com

States which have sent strong state
ments approving the Eighteenth
Amendment to The Union Signal, the
official publication Of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion.
James S. Cady, secretary of the
Minneapolis Association says: "Pro-
hibition has proved an economic as.
set in our community. It has promot-
ed thrift and has been beneficial gen.
orally to the interests of our city"
Vance C.. Criss, secretary Of the
Springfield, No., association; "Prohi-
bition has been helpful to the COM
munity for the reason that the on,
coming generation has not had the
access to liquor that was had by
young men and boys of four or five
years ago. In other words there
would seem to be less opportunity by
far for the members of the next gen.
Grafton to become addicted to the Ii.
quor habit"
Nelson Marshman, associate Sec
rotary, Springfield, Mass, association
says: II believe that prohibition has
proved to be an economic asset to
this community and that it has pro.
NOTED thrift among u people. A
statement from the various savings
banks shows that more people have
savings accounts and that the bal
ances are larger.

the city tell me that taking into con
sideration the recent business depres'
sion, there are fewer people receiving
aid than during the time before pro
hibition. The former saloons in mos
cases are being used for other line:
of business.

"Dry" Ships are Succeeding.

Judging from the experience OF
shipping men on the Pacific Coast,
there is little cause for a%pprehen-
sion that the enforcement of prohibi-
ton on the high seas will mean that
all trade will go to foreign ships.
The. opinion of William G. Sellen-
der, general passenger agent of the
Matson Navigation Company, whose
fleet of ships on the Pacific Ocean
has been dry since prohibition, is
shared by other shipping men. He
spoke in part as follows:
eve have never had a greater vol
ume of business in our history than
has been handled aboard our ships
since prohibition became effective"
Mr.. Sellender was discussing the
fact that the dry Matsonia', a really
dry boat of the fleet above mention
ed, went out with every cabin filled
and standees in the smoaking room,
while The Nile, which has been adj
vertised as being swetter than the
river Nile, was about half filled for
a similar voyage.
$50 rarely do passengers engaging
space on the Matson ships raise the
question of liquor that l can believe
that it does not enter their thoughts
when they are booking" remarked
%Sellender, whose years of experience
in the local passenger business has
caused him to be alert for all indi-
cations that register what is pleasing
to passengers. "On the other hand"
he added, 1--WE have heard passengers
express satisfaction that the ships
are dry, and among them have been
drinking men who, on occasion, have
gone to Honolulu on one of the wet
trans-Pacific boats and have return
ed on one Of the Matson vessels"

Why I Am a Total Abstainer.
Hon. William Jennings Bryan, Ex7
Secretary Of State.

Secretary of State.
First, because God never made a
normal brain that needed to be slim
ulated to action by alcohol.
Second, because among the count
less millions of men God never Great
ed n who was strong enough tosbe-
gin the use of Intoxicating liquor with
certainty that he would not become
its victim.
Third, because there is no time in
a human life from birth to death
when it is safe to begin the use OF
alcohol.
If these three propositions are
true-that no normal brain needs al
cohol, that no man IS strong enough
to be sure that he will not become it's
victim, and that there is no time when
it is safe to begin to drink-there can
be no excuse for the use of alcohol.
Three Reasons for Christians to
Abstain.
Let me give you three arguments,
which I believe to be unanswerable
from the Christian standpoint:
The first is that a Christian having
given himself to God and to Christ
in service, has no moral right to take
into his body that which will impair
the value of the service he has to rem
der, and he has no moral right to con
tract a habit which may not only de-
stroy his capacity for service, but his
disposition to serve.
The second is that the Christian
has no money that he can spare for
Intoxicating liquor. There are so
many noble causes that appeal to a
Christian heart that l know not how
a Christian can justify before his own
conscience the wasting of any money
on Intoxicating liquor. Those in
charge of home missionary work will
show US that there are sections in the
country where there are neither
churches MOI Sunday schools for lack
of funds. They will show us-those
engaged in foreign missionary work
areas of the earth's surface with
millions of inhabitants to whom the
light of the Gospel has not yet been
carried for lack of funds.
How can a Christian get down on
his knees in the morning and pray to
his Heavenly Father, "Thy kingdom
come" and then rise up and spend
for alcohol the money that he could
spare to hasten the coming of Gods
kingdom on earth!
And how can a Christian put his
influence on the side Of a habit that
brings tens of thousands to the grave
every year? All religion is propagat-
ed by example, and the Master him
self says that we should so live that
others, seeing our good work, may be
constrained to "glorify the Father"
The great Apostle said, if eating
meat would make his brother to Of
fend, he would eat no meat. Itxwas
not because he did not like meat; it
was because he loved his brother bet
ter than he loved meat. And what
Christian man can stand before! his
fellow Christians and admit that his
fondness for Intoxicating liquor is
greater than his love of his brothers.
whom he might save by setting them
a good. example?

Law Enforcement in South
Carolina.
By Rev. E. NJ. Lightfoot, Superintend
ens CT Anti-saloon League for
South Carolina.
Fer almost three months the writer
has been busy as Superintendent OF
the Ant;-Saloon League. They have
been strenuous days, yet, it is not
my purpose to give anything like a
report of work done, but I would call
the attention of all Courier readers
10 two very great difficulties in the
way Of Law Enforcement, and Mr..
Editor, we spell Law Enforcement
with capital letters.
The first difficulty is: Insufficient
number of officers. Of course, we
have plenty of policemen in our
towns and cities. There r sheriffs
and deputies, also rural officers.
There are enough of these to make
South Carolina a heaven on earth.
MANY of these officers are doing their
duties.
There are three things that keep
u state and national prohibition
laws from being enforced, Politics,
Graft and Pull. I wish that l could
emblazon these words in letters OF
fire across the heavens. Many of these
officers do not realize that they are
servants of God to minister terror to
the evil doors of thus bestow a bless
ing upon the good. Stewardship Of
Office is as essential as stewardship
of money. The non-enforcing officer
is an embezzler of opportunity. He
has something to do for others that
he not only will not do, but often
turns his privilege to personal gain.
Our people must awake to the fact
that an officer who will not enforce
law is a menace to the community.
His Indifferent attitude is an invita-
ton to the lawless to move into the
town, city or county where he holds
office.
South Carolina has too few officers
who are fearless in law enforcing.
We have only six constables under
the direction of the Governor. There
are now only sixteen Federal Prohi-
bition Raiding Officers in the State.
There are forty-six counties, just
about one of these State or National
officers for every two counties.
The second need: Is that of quick
ening dormant public opinion. Many
of the county officers r either in
different in regard to Law Enforce
ment or are in sympathy with viola
tors of our State and Federal Pro-
hibition Laws. We cannot afford to
have law breakers as either law en-
forcing officers OF law makers. We
must not 'supinely say: "Let the state
do it," or "Let Uncle Sam do it."
These are expressions that r daily
made. We must not Federalise too
much. Already many think the FEEDER
al Government is asserting too much
authority in the state. The remedy
is, in my judgment, to be found in a
live, wide awake pulpit.
The Bootleggers and other lawless
crowd are afraid of the women and
the ministers of South Carolina. They
say that they a easily fix the civil
officers but dread public opinion as
expressed through our God fearing
preachers and women. Brethren and
sisters, let US awake for the day of
u deliverance is at hand: Demand
Of every candidate for office that he
declare himself on the Enforcement
of Law. Let this be the dominent
vote in our state.
