PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU!
Secular News
The Trip of the President has been
continued into the West. While in Colorado
he took part in one of the noblest
enterprises of the age. It is the opening
of the Gunnison Tunnel. On one side
of a mountain is the Unconipahgre vallev
with larep and fertile lonHo omh../.
ing 150.000 acres. It could be cultivated
only by means of irrigation. The water
of the Uncompahgre river proved sufficient
for'only about 40,000 acres and the
rest of the land had to be abandoned for
want of water. In a parallel valley runs
the Gunnison river, whose waters were
running to waste. The United States
government has bored a tunnel six miles
long under the mountain which divides
the two valleys so as to bring in the
waters of the Gunnison river. The President
opened the tunnel last week.
The President at Salt Lake City: Quite
a discussion has been held over the question
whether the President ought to
make an address on Sunday morning in
the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake
City. Some of the Christian (Gentile)
church people have objected on the
ground that it would give encouragement
to Mormonlsm. The President modified
the proposed arrangements, on the
score of his personal fatigue, so that he
attended an organ recital at the Tabernacle
on Saturday, and reviewed the
Sunday school children there on Sunday
afternoon.
A Peculiar Magnetic Storm prevailed
over large parts of the country on Saturday
last. It was of the nature of an
aurora borealis. The earth currents of
electricity at St. Louis measured 105
volts. In the air, at some places, the
electricity measured five hundred volts.
It interfered very seriously with the use
of telephone and telegraph wires. No
one seems able to understand the disturbance.
A very 8evere Wind Storm visited the
Mississippi valley last week. It started
in the Gulf of Mexico and dashed the
waves along the south coast of Louisiana
and Mississippi with such violence as to
destroy all bath houses and many dwellings
on the beach or near it. It drove
the waters of the Mississippi river up
into the streets of New Orleans. At
Natchez the wind did great damage,
bringing the water of the river upon the
town. So at Greenville and many other
points. On the coast the velocity of the
wind was sixty miles or upward, at Nashville
it reached forty-five miles per hour.
At Jackson, Miss, the old capitol building
was unroofed, and the dome of the new
capitol was much injured. The estimate
is that between three and four hundred
lives were lost during the storm.
A Conflict of State and Federal Authority
has evolved in Dade County, Georgia.
The State laws forbid the manufacture
of intoxicants. Some one in Dade
county undertook ?o run a distillery, and
secured the appointment by the Federal
Government of a storekeeper and gauger
*H. September 29, 1909.
to supervise the work. The grand Jury
of Dade county summoned Stegall, the
gauger, to testify as to the operation of
the distillery. He refused on the ground
that his knowledge of the matter is offl
cial and that a State court can not demand
testimony of this nature. Judge
Fite ordered him to Jail for contempt of
court. The Collector of Customs in
Georgia, mt. KucKer, telegraphed to him
that if he had not unofficial knowledge he
should not testify. Then Judge Fite summoned
Mr. Itucker for contempt of court.
Both parties have applied to Judge Newman
of the United States court at Atlanta
for a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Fite
refuses so far until Stegall shall testify
before the grand Jury.
A Thousand Descendants in Five Generations:
Sixty-five years ago, John Oslin
and his wife, Sarah Waters Oslin, were
uuriea at Mcuonough, Ua. Hitherto their
graves have been unmarked. Recently
their descendants have been counted, and .
they number one thousand. Of these
fifty have served the Methodist church
as preachers. Of the thousand descendants,
about two hundred and fifty were
present at the unveiling of a monument
to these pioneers last week. We can
but think what a great amount of good
has flowed from the piety of these two
peiBuiis.
KNOW NOW
And Will Never Forget the Experience.
The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely relieved by
changing from coffee to Postum knows
something valuable.
He or she has no doubt about it. A
California lady says:
"I learned the truth about coffee in a
peculiar way. My husband who has
for years been of a very bilious tempera
nient decided to leave off coffee and give
Postum a trial and as did not want the
trouble of making two beverages for
meals I concluded to try Postum, too,
and the results have been that while
my husband has been geatly benefited,
I have myself received even greater
benefit.
"When I began to drink Postum I
was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now
I actually weigh 16 pounds more than 1
did at that time and I am stronger physically
and in my nerves, while husband
is free from all his ails.
"We have learned our little lesson
aooui conee and we know something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years and we shall always continue to do
so.
"We have no more use for cofTee?the
di\ig drink. We prefer Postum and
health." %
Look in pkge. for the famous little book,
"The Road to Wellville." "There's a
Reason."
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
