A WE'LL HANDLED
NEWS EVENT

Now that the first round or the ey yolution battle in Dayton, Tenn, is over one can pause to contem- plate the total of words that flowed from that small town during the trial and the manner in which the press handled the situation. Never in the history of newspapers had there been so much press matter telegraphed from a small town. The prizefght in Shelby, Mont, few years ago lasted only one day, and scarcely produced as many words at its climax as the Dayton trial pro- duced every day during it's continu- ance of more than a week.
 A part of the public may be un- der the impression that under such circumstances the news comes over one or two wires, as is custonarlly the case in small towns. This would have been impossible In the case Of the Dayton trial. Not only was 1t necessary 10 get the day and after noon developments over the wires the same day, but it had to be done quickly In order 10 make the edl- tions." The press associations real ize that somewhere a newspaper is going to press every minute during tbe dav, due to the difference in lime th1 h1oughout the continent, and no item of important news IS ever allowed to wait until five or ten minutes later If 1t can be rushed over the wires at once. l. IS a rush ing business" all the way through
 The four press associations had their special wires direct from the courtroom, with the Associated
 Press as usual having the largest number. The Western Union had tc u,il,zs twelve wires to accommodate

WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT
 75 YEARS AGO In 1850, when New Britain was ''born" by throwing itself of from the slower moving towns of Berlin, the news of the day took longer to circulate but it eventually lodged in the minds of the interested citizenry and caused quite as much comment relatively as important happenings do today.
 As the town was started people were taking about the seventh L. $ census, just completed, which gave 10 the United States a popula ton of 23,19IY7G, with 3,204313 slaves and 434,495 free Negroes.

4 TEST CASE ON SUNDAY CLOSING

has arrived in the controversy, if such it may be called, between the Chamber of Commerce and the city government regarding the advisabil- ty possibility or modus operandi of closing provision stores on Sunday for most of the day. It was natural that both sides in the discussion should appeal to the law, the one side holding it fairly adequate to close stores, the other disagreeing. Both sides having conferred with legal counsel, it is an instance of where lawyers disagree there is scarcely anything left to be done but to have test case, such as the mayor suggests, and then let the courts settle the disputation,
 Too many of our laws, instead of being as clear as crystal, are as clear as mud; and then is requires Having" in the courts to arrive at an interpretation" Then the in terpretation of ono court in one town may not agree with that of another in another town, and so far as the state is concerned, noth- ing is certain about it until some body takes a case through the high CT courts for final determination. As this costs money there are few "philanthropists" willing virtually 10 donate the necessary funds to at- tain such a determination. This was proven hy the paucity Of high court decisions located by the corporation council.

Morning Service at the Old South

AT the Old South morning service
the pastor, Rev. w. Z. Bradford,
gave an interesting and inspiring
sermon. He spoke from two texts,
Hebrews 12:223, 1.-The spirits of lust
men made perfect" and Hebrews
so, See that thou make all things
according to the pattern showed thee
In the mount" BY way of introduce
ton, Mr.. Bradford outlined the
work of Moses in leading the chosen
people in sight of the promised land
speaking particularly of his need for
pattern in further guidance of
Israel, pattern which he sought
from God on the mount. Then from
this came the main these of the
morning, tho necessity of n pattern
to guide ones life. One should not be
a spineless Christian, one should
think things out for ones self, clear
ly and independently. Kindness is
necessary in the Christian life and
goes lon" way towards smoothing
the path. No true follower of Christ
can be without it. "l<indness is what
this sad world needs" Then sacri-
flee. No church member is worthy
the name of Christian who is unwill-
ing to sacrifice when the necessity
arises. The sermon was direct
practical and helpful.
The music added to the interest
ana beauty of the service. There
were two anthems by the adult
chorus choir. The offertorv. with
its various solo parts and duets. was
particularly effective. In spite of the
unfavorable weather there was an
excellent attendance.
