asked If ho would try to Induce a
certain liquor dealer not to sell her
husband any more strong drink. JWitk
ready acquiescence, Mr, Dow' called
to see the saloon keeper! and made
the request. T|te man said that he
had a license .to <All. that he should
do so, and'that he did not care to
have Mr. Dow "whining around" his
place of business.
Speaking of the occurrence, Neal
Dow »i!d; “Surprised, disappoint
ed, ir(’ nant, I replied to’the effect
that sooner or later I would aee
that he and all like him 1 were driven
from the community unless they
abandoned their Infamous business.
The Incident affected me with vital
force. As I reflected upon It as
only one of tho thousands of cases
Into which It might be multiplied,
with a product of misery to so many
helpless women and Innocent chil
dren, I became more strongly con
vinced that my duty waa clear. I
resolved to try and discharge It.
From that day I have followed It
with such strength of body, m|nd
and purpose as God has given to
me.”
As a speaker and worker In the
temperance cause, Mr. Dow was as
well known in England as In
United States, for he spent three
years In Great Britain, where he
performed a large amount of labor,
wholly without compensation.
In 1894, when General Dow had
reached the ago of ninety years, the
Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union conceived the Idea of honor
ing him by holding great raeetlngi
all over the world. The anniversary
of his birth, March 20, at the sug
gestion lot Frances Willard, was
adopted by the National W. C. T. U.
as Prohibition Day.

Prhttlqai^jKgrced On.
The hoard of ^Towards of the
Methodist church have practically
decided upon the plan* which will
be used for enlarging their church
and for adding a balcony to tho eas*.
end of the building. The prelimi
nary plane were drawn by Architect
Bens and were submitted at the
stewards* meeting Tuesday night
The stewards liked the plans and
Mr. Bens was Instructed to get up
plans that will be more complete.
The plans call for the addition of
a two-story annex on the south side
of the building, so arranged that it
can <be thrown Into the main audito
rium by merely opening two folding
doors. There will he a balcony *o
the annex and this will extend
around to the east side of the build
ing, giving a seating capacity of
about 1,600 people in the church,
and making It the largest auditorium
of any church in tho 8outh Georgia
Conference, if not in tbs state.
The work of enlarging the church
will cost In the neighborhood of
$10,000. The balcony will be built
on Iron pillars and will be ot Iron
almost entirely.
Besides this, the basement of the
church will be converted Into a room
where entertainments may he had.
A coal room will he provided and
tho basement will he cemented and
fixed up Ip good shape.
Both Primaries on Same Day.
The County Executive Committee
recently set the date for the county
primary on May 1. but added that
the primary would be held at the
same tlm© as the presidential pri
mary, provided the latter should be
an early primary and also to| he,d a bOUt that time. Thi§ means
that the county dite would be
changed to conform to the presiden
tial primary, so that both should be
held o n the same day, unless It was
too great a difference In the dates
selected by the state committee.
It so bappns that the State Execu
tive Committee has fixed the date
for the presidential primary on May
1, the date selected 'by the county
committee. This will make It unnec
essary for the date to be changed,
so both prlmarlea will bo bold on the
sam e date.
