EARLY MORN SINGING .
LANDS HIM III JAIL. .
BY JOHN ARCHER CARTER
neased Wire Service to The Journal
Copyright, 1927

(C0pyflSnI, IJzZ.l
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Oct. 49,
The judge told me not to disturb
the white folks at a. M, but the
Lord told me to wake up both white
and black sinners from sleep with
songs of correction. 1 obeyed the
Lord and the judge puts me in Jail, ;"
This was the wall today of the
Rev. Lightfoot MichauX, negro evan
gelist, who has continued to lead
his "sanctified" horde of singing,
weeping, cheering followers through
the streets of the city in the early
hours of the morning despite the
warning of the police justice.
Not only was MichauX thrown into
the Jail, but all of his followers came
within the clutch of the law when
they refused to cease their weird
chanting. MichauX was arrested last
week the first time. He was told
then he must not disturb the peace
of the community at unearthly
hours. MichauX refused to make
promises.
IF the Lord leads me, we will fol-
low Him." he said. ''He may not
lead us any more at 4 a. m, or any
such time O. day, but that, sir, rests
with God"
Turning to the chief of police, the
justice said: |s
eff anybody leads him again at
the residence district, let yourself
be led to arrest the evangelist. and
all of his flock"
"Righto," said the chief. Amen, .
said the preacher.
So Sunday the before-daWn crusade
began again and the whole kit and
kaboodle of them were taken to the
Jail where they continued to sing
and chant until exhausted.
MichauX and his followers, accord.
ing to the police, have been making
the wee hours hideous by parading
to their gospel tent for 5 o'clock in
the morning worship. Doctors, law
yers, ship yard workmen, sick wom-
en- and children, all complained, but
no amount of warning had any eff
feet. The streets of the city were
quiet this morning, but the Jail was
a bedlam.
The evangelist was bitter this
morning.
"Bootleggers are busy all night, :"
he said; dance halls stay open all
night; women walk the streets all
night. Stop that, why don't they?
Why do they stop the work of the
Lord, the work of saving souls?"
There's a lot done in the name, OF
the Lord that He is not responsible
for" replied the police justice who
ordered the arrest of the Rev. Mi
chaux and all his flock. 1.-THE Lord
doesn't expect any such foolishness
as this out of anybody. These early
morning emotional maraudings must
STOP"

Drinking Moonshn1e
Vital Health Problem;
Danger In Aldehydes

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 1.-THE
widespread drinking of 'moonshine"
has become an important public
health problem, j. II. Doran, head
of the industrial alcohol and chemi-
cal division of the federal prohibit
ton commissioners office, told the
pure food and drug section of the
American Public Health association
in session here today.
Analysis of illicit liquors show
that the essential difference between
'moonshine" and aged in wood
whisllys is in the aldehyde content,
he said.
THE effects of the alGehydes on
the human system appear to be very
harmful" Mr.. Doran declared.
'These are eliminated only by frac
donating in an alcohol drum of long
ageing in wooden barrels. Many
illicit liquors are found to be con-
taminated with salts of zinc and
copper.
Casual surveys of the press must
impress any one with the vicious
character of the illicit liquor. Its
use is sufficiently widespread TO be
come a matter that vitality concerns

SO. What are the oldest gold
coins in the world?
A. The "staters' of Croesus are
generally believed to have been the
first gold coins ever minted. Thirty
OF these coins were recently un-
earthed in the buried ruins OF Sardis,
in Asia Minor, by an American
archaeological expedition. They are
at least $500 years old. The coins
are all of the same type, showing on
the diverse the fOreparts of a lion
and bull facing each other, and
on the reverse two squares stamped
in. There are slight variations in
the size and weight, but the amount
Of gold in each is little more than
in our five-dollar gold pieces. Croe;
sus not only coined gold but adjusted
his system of coinage to a conven-
lent exchange basis with the silver
and copper coins of the Greeks and
the Babylonians and other Orientals.

remained for Croesus to put the

the caustic to dry after each appli-

Immediately after the application the

SWIMMING POOL
TAGS GOING FAST
Everybody Is Tagged for the Benef
of Swimming Pool Which 10 in
Debt Several Hundred Dol
lars ON Construction

Many young enthusiasts over the
local swimming pool have been busy
all day in the selling of tags for the
maintenance and up keep of that
place, as well as the raising of
funds for still large debt thereon.
That the place has been heavily
patronized during the hot summer
months is a well known fact, yet
the income from the bathers has
not been sufficient to keep the pool
going and at the same time make
any marked decrease in the debt
which has been hanging over the
place since its construction. The
idea Of the tag day means of rails
ing funds was decided upon and
today designated as the day. Tags
are being sold for from 10 cents up
and many liberal contributions have
been received by the youngsters.
The pool has without a doubt
proven to be one of the most popu-
lar and most enjoyed places in this
city and has been patronized by
both children and older people.
That it has cut down the number
of youngsters taking a chance in
the Humboldt river which has
proven SO disasterous to many
homes here, is one of the biggest
accomplishments realizer in many
manyears and Rev. Sterling j. Talbot
deserves much credit for bringing
about this state of affairs and Of
keeping up the work which was
started by Rev. Edward Hoering.
Although completed last sum-
mer the pool has received a great
many improvements during the sea-
son, including board walk, railing
and improver dressing rooms, all
of which have incurred additional
expense. That the funds realized
from the sale of tags may prove
sufficient to wipe out the greater
part of the debt and put the poo
on clean slate for the opening oil
next seasons run is the big OBJ
ject in view.
