Wednesday, November 19, -1924. 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.

The government will appeal to the supreme court, he declared, if convictions were not obtained in the cases the department is insti tuting. 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.

Biggs—Why do they call d> ctros quacks? Boggs—Because of their large bills. 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 i negro who did the shooting and I to bring him to the bar of justice and this is commendable. He J should suffer the be captured penalty of and this made most to horrible crime. But the negro does not bear alone the guilt of this murder. There are others in volved. Should "we begin a search for all the guilty parties, we would find some of them walking the streets of Hartwell under the guise of respectable citizens. Still Operators Guilty who Every person in Hart county, operates a still and turns out whiskey, is before God, guilty of Snow Skelton’s death; every has man his who hands buys and sells whiskey stained with the blood of this murdered man; ev- P. Y. Luther Resigns as Head Of Methodist Sunday School Resignation Banded to Pastor in September ■Petitioned by Teachers and Officers to Recon sider—Officially Resigned Be fore Quarterly Conference No 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 the benefit of those who have not seen it: Petition We, the undersigned officers and teachers of First M. S. S. wish to express to Mr. P. Y. Luther our appreciation has done for for the great work he our s. s. Inasmuch as we have worked with him during his administra tion of three and one-half years we know him to be a very effl cieht superintendent, S. S. when it taking wSs charge unorganized of the body of 10 an some or 12 classes and working it up to a S. S. equal to many of the standard S. S. of the much larger churches. He is a man possessed of an enthusiasm and earnestness 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 giving of his time and money to make a success of his work. We have found him a capable leader a well informed S. S. worker and a Christian gentleman. We would like to have him con tinue as our superintendent, but we 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. » »> More Subscribers The jNews continues to grow in popula^^||^ Following is a few more mail subscribers that have come in dur ing the past two days: R.

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.)
