K. ofP. Entertain
at Smoker Monday

Monday evening the local Pythian
lodge, No. SO, enjoyed smoker at
which there was present quite num-
ber of knights. The smoker was
primarily in honor of a new class of
members who have just completed
their degrees. This class consisted of
five excellent young gentlemen.
After sandwiches, lemonade and
cake had been served and cigars
passed around, the chancellor COM
mander called upon DR.. J. B: Black,
deputy grand chancellor, to extend a
welcome to the new Knights, which
he did in a most pleasing manner.
Short responses were made by each
member of the class, Capts. Paul F.
Carroll and J. H. Pitts, T. A. Inabi-
nette, Harry Mettz, and Ralph A.
Durham.
Three Pythians, Major VIM. R.
Watson, H. L. Hinnant, and J. Carl
Kearse made short addresses on
different phases of the work of the
order, all of which were listened to
very attentively and appreciatively,
as each speaker had made careful
study Of his subject, and was able
to give much enlightenment on the
matters discussed.
It is contemplated that similar
smokers are to be held several times
during the year.

Women Petition for
Better Conditions

Monday afternoon at a meeting
of the Bamberg city council, a dele
cation of some thirty women, repre-
senting the missionary societies of
the churches of the city, petitioned
the council for a more rigid enforce
ment of the prohibition law, for the
suppression of vice, and for the stop
ping of the sale of cold drinks, to-
bacco, gasoline, etc., on the Sabbath.
Several ladies acted as spokesmen
for the delegation, amplifying their
request, and asking that council take
such steps as may seem necessary
to enforce the laws of the town. 1t
is said that several specific instances
of LIQUOR and Sunday law violations
were cited.
Resolutions had previously been
presented to council. These resolu-
tions were prepared by the ladies OF
the Bible classes of the Methodist
and Baptist churches; were later en-
dorsed by the joint meeting of the
societies at the last regular meeting
and we're signed individually by nine
ty-odd ladies of the different church
organizations.
No action was taken by the council
After listening attentively to the
complaints of the ladies, the council
received the petition as information,
with a promise to look further into
the various matters presented.
Monday another petition was circu-
lated in the city asking that council
take no steps toward closing the cold
drink stands, restaurants, cigar
stands, etc., but it was stated that
this petition had not been formally
presented to council. The Herald
asked for copy of this petition for
publication, but was told that the
document was still in circulation.
Below The Herald prints the reso-
lutions of the ladies and will publish
later the petition seeking to continue
the present mode Of Sabbath observ-
ance.
Whereas, we the members of the
Ladies' Bible Class of the Methodist
church, the Fidelis Glass of the Bap-
tist church, and other church women,
have been panied with the course that
civic affairs have taken in our midst
for sometime, and, whereas, we nave
come face to face with the fact that
it is our duty to speak out in no un-
certain terms to you, our honored
mayor and city councilmen, against at
least three of the great evils that are
being repeatedly committed In our
little city.
Therefore, be it resolved,
1. That you give these resolutions
a courteous, careful study.
2. That you further do every
thing within the range of your power
to stop the illicit manufacture, sale
and consumption Of the abomlnaDle
stuff that is being drunk. Be very
rigid in your enforcement OF the pro
hibition law. Do not look with any
degree of cognizance whatever upon
this dreadful evil, but lay bare your
arm in suppressing It, ever!

His Wife Kept Is Dogs
So He Asks
Divorce

PHILADELPHIA. April 49,.
my wife had no time for other
men, and she disliked children,
but she made up for this loving
dogs"
This was the testimony Of
Charles w. Young, president of
the Pressed Oil Corporation, Of
Conshohocken, in his suit for di-
vorce from Mrs. Madeline w.
Young.
Mrs. Young, in her testimony,
said she wanted no children be-
cause there had been drunken
ness in both families and she
feared a hereditary trait spread
ing to the children.
Mrs. Young also Is suing her
husband for divorce. The cross
suits were heard today. Young
bases his suit on desertion. Mrs.
Young denies this, and alleges
she was forced to leave her hus-
band because Of his display Of
temper.
Young explained that at one
time his wife had eighteen dogs
of various breeds and sizes in
his back yard.
Her married life, she said, was
made so unbearable by Young
that she was justified in refus-
ing to live with him.

Spreading both east and west from

Charges Anti-Saloon
League Breaks
Election Law
by International News Service.

Charges that the Anti
saloon League has violated the
corrupt practices act, by fail
ure to file affidavits of its ex-
penditures in political cam
paigns will be properly and
promptly investigated" officials
of the Department of Justice
declared today.
Congressman Tinkham Of
Massachusetts demanded that
the Attorney General probe the
Anti-saloon Leagues conduct in
withholding statements of its
political campaign funds.
The Anti-saloon League Is
said to have spent large sums
to further the interest of dry
candidates in Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, New York, Maryland,
other States.
Attorney General Daugherty,
it was said, has not had time
to look fully enough into the
merits of the case to decide
whether prosecutions will be
ordered against officials of the
league in Washington and the
different States. If prosecu-
tions should be ordered it is
expected State League officials
also would be included, because
of their separate political activ-
tiles.

the things that Germany violated
