6 PAPERS
Washington, Nov. 19.—Presenta
tion of evidence against at least
six newspapers in widely separated
parts of the'country in connection
with recent publication of income
tax lists has been started by the
Department of Justice, Attorney
General Stone announced Tuesday
night.
Stone declined to name the pa
pers involved, or the cities in
which they are located.
The fact that Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, assistant attorney
general, who probably will have
charge of these cases, left Tuesday
for Chicago and Kansas City was
regarded as significant.
Appeal Any Dismissal.
It was also considered probable
that some of the papers against
which action is sought are located
in the east and on the Pacific
coast. The attorney general said
"six or seven ■ papers had been
selected after long consideration
of all elements involved.

all points in question were desired
for testing the law in the courts.
The government will appeal to
the supreme court, he declared, if
convictions were not obtained in
the cases the department is insti

First Action in Few Days.
Stone said the first grand jury
action may be known in 'a few
days. As the district attorneys
receive instructions sent from here
other indictments may follow, he
said.
Beginning of suits against news
papers paves the way for final
settlement of the controversy
which raged for days over the pub
lication of returns in newspapers
throughout the country, and dis
closed that officials in neither the
Treasury nor the Department of
Justice were sure of the meaning
of the law.

G. T. Pursley’s Son-in-Law Delivers
Forceful Sermon Against Bootleggers
_i__
In a forceful and appropriate
sermon delivered recently, the
Rev. J. H. Barton, pastor of the
Methodist church at Hartwell,
Ga., and son-in-law of G. T.
Pursley, of Griffin, said in part:
“We have an amendment to
the Constitution of the United
States and law on the statute
books of the state of Georgia,
which prohibits the manufacture
and sale of spirituous liquor and
penalties for the offence have
been designated by the state and
you agree
this law or not makes no differ
ence in the matter of your duty
thereto. Every citizen of the
United States who claims the
protection of the government and
enjoys the benefits derived
therefrom, is honor bound to sup
port its Constitution, and the men
who fail to do so are dishonor
able citizens and unworthy to be
called Americans.
Tragedy Should Arouse All
The 'tragedy of last Sunday
evening, the killing of County
Officer L. S. Skelton and the
wounding of Sheriff Brit Brown
by a negro crazed by liquor, has
served, in the minds of some, and
should arouse every true citizen
of Hartwell and Hart county to a
consciousness of the fact that
there is a need for a rigid en
forcement of the liquor laws.
“We are doing every thing pos
sible for the apprehension of the

for all the guilty parties, we
would find some of them walking
the streets of Hartwell under the
guise of respectable citizens.

P. Y. Luther Resigns as Head
Of Methodist Sunday School
Resignation Banded to Pastor in

vember 16.
(Contributed)
In losing P. Y. Luther as sup
erintendent, the Sunday School of
the First Methodist church sus
tains the loss of one of the most
faithful, conscientious and belov
ed leaders it has ever known.
Mr. Luther has been untiring
in his efforts for the Sunday
School’s every interest and has
won high esteem in the hearts of
the teachers and officials with
whom he has been associated.
He has been instrumental in
grading the Sunday School into
a more perfect organization and
higher standing than has been at
tained heretofore. His policy of
grading strictly, yet not with
iron-clad rules—for there have
been exceptions made in every
case where a legitimate reason
was found—is fully endorsed by
teachers and officers of the Sun
day School, practically all of
whom have stood squarely behind
him on every move.
When his resignation was made
known, a vote of thanks for his
faithful services and a petition
that he reconsider and remain in
office was drawn up, signed and
read at the meeting of the teach
ers and officers jn October. We
can but express extreme sorrow
that he could not see his way
clear to comply with the petition
and continue to hold the office.
To his successor we can extend
no greater wish than that he will
prove himself just such an able
leader, and that he will be able
to gain and hold the esteem of
teachers, officers and pupils in as
high degree as Mr. Luther.
Through mistake the petition
to Mr. Luther was not read at
the that Quarterly publish conference, it here For for
reason we

to a S. S. equal to many of the

which inspire his officers and
teachers to a deeper interest in
building up a S. S. of which we
can justly be proud. of the sacri
We know of some
fices he has made to make this
possible. He often traveled many
miles after a hard day’s work in
order to attend a council meeting

make a success of his work. We

a Christian gentleman.

ery man who buys and drinks it,
thereby making it possible for
this hellish business to be carried
on, shares in the responsibility
of this murder and every citizen,
who has knowledge of whiskey
being made or sold and does not
give that knowledge to the
courts, will have to answer to his
God for thus shielding a criminal
who endangers the lives of inno
cent people and corrupts the mor
als of the community.
n Mr. Skelton said in my pres
ence, less than a .week before his
death, that if the church mem
bers , would quit drinking the
bootlegger would have to go out
of business, What kind of a
church member can he be who
makes possible a business which
strikes a death blow at law and
order and destroys not only hum
an life but the souls of mankind ?
Surely the Spirit of Christ is not
in him but to the contrary he is
an enemy to the cause of Christ.
u It is high time when we
should take action and strike in
no uncertain terms at the liquoi
business. Let us as Christian men
and women go forth in the power
of our God and be not afraid tr
stand for the right even though
to do so many mean personal sac
rifices and dangers. TJhe Master
gave His life for the salvation of
mankind and, ‘The servant is not
greater than his Lord. » »>

Ten Year Bad Case Completely
Healed in a Short Time
Write* Florida Woman.
Faced with the lose of her
teeth after 10 years suffering,
Mrs. M. J. Travis, an esteemed
resident of Jacksonville, declares
she finally saved her teeth by a
simple home treatment “worth its
weight in gold," using her own
words: "After having pyorrhea
for 10 years my mouth is now
healed. Before I found out dif
ferently, I was told there was
no relief and had yielded to the
loss of six of my solid teeth.
Then I discovered Moore’s pyor
rhea treatment. Three days af
ter starting its use the soreness
left my gums; my teeth began
to tighten. Now my teeth are
clean, my breath sweet and my
mouth completely healed. >•
The experience of Mrs. Travis
is duplicated in hundreds of other
cases. If you have pyorrhea—or
threatened with pyorrhea, your
teeth are in danger. Quick and
effective treatment is necessary.
You can test, without money risk,
the treatment used by Mrs. Tra
vis. Simply write the Moreham
Co., 410 Gateway station, Kansas
City, Mo. Under their guaran- ‘
tee of refund send two dollars,
or, pay postman the $2 with a
few cents postage. Use the treat
ment 7 days. Then if you are
not wholly satisfied, write to that
effect and your $2 will be re
turned at once.— (adv.)
