He couldn’t read it either. SEMI-WEEKT-V TIMES-ENTBRPUIS K, FIIIHAY FEBRUARY, lift, 1913. INTERSTATE SHIPMENTS OF LIQUOR { We are producing uelow an ex tract from Congressman Rodden- , bery’s speech on the interstate ship- linent of liquors, delivered in the lawlessness . bouse on February Nth.: Mr. Clayton. Mr. Speaker, I „ , , ield to the gentleman from Geor- flrm and unswerving president whose | ^ success has never been equaled by j Mr. Roddenbery. .Mr. Speaker a Mexican ruler, was deposed and ; the title 01 the bill we are about to j vote upon is in these words: "A Madero took the reins of Govern- J pm to divest intoxicating liquors of ment. He was pledged to reforms I their interstate-commerce character , , ,, .jin certain cases.” Under the pro- which were impractical; he could not | tection of this interstate -commerce keep the promises, and discontent J clause foreign whisky houses defy „ , ,, . the laws of the States, furnish the became apparent from all quarters. vj|e a|i0hulk . conC o C ti 0 n» upon When the President thought he was | which "blind tigers’’ and "speak- „ t v* ii_ -fleasies" flourish and lead men into most safe, Fel,x Dias, a nephew of j fhe temptatlon of .. m00uh lne- still- the former President, escaped from j lag. All of which the liquor lob- prison and with an organized fol-! b ^‘ ? nd bls “8 e »' s hypo-crltlcally F protest ajrainst. This day s vote lowing made war in the city of Mexico. This was one of the most spectacular battles of all Mexican revolutions. By treachery, Madero was over thrown and his brother, the real power of the administration, was murdered. It was believed that the Provisional President, a former commander of the Madero army, would rule with some pretense of justice and right. The first week of his administration was befouled with the killing of both Madero and th6 Vice-President, Suarez. There is a contention from the government that It was an attempted escape, but the opinion of those who are «n position to judge accurately >f the men and motives now in con trol, do not believe It was anything but butchery, the like of which is not equalled in modern warfare and which is not and should not he con doned. Meanwhile, the state is still ih an eruptive stage. From ail sections come reports of dissatisfaction and rebellion. Stability of govern ment is not known, property is un will put them to the test. The seme of this bill makes it against Federal law for any person to ship or any person to receive intoxicating liquors in a prohibition State where such liquor is intended to be sold or used contrary to the laws of the State into which it is shipped. It does not interfere with the ship ment or reception of liquors for law ful personal consumption or for any purpose not prohibited by Stats law. So it will lie seen that It is not the purpose and object of this bill that the Government shall en force State temperance laws nor In terfere with the enforcement of prohibition laws, but It simply and only leaves and remits to each State complete power and control over in terstate shipments or purchase of intoxicating liquors for any and all purposes. It expressly conceded to Georgia and the other states the exclusive authority to exercise their sovereign powers without hindrance by Federal authority as to the reg ulation or prohibition of the liquor traffic. No Democrat and no man who believes in the rule of the peo ple can object to this legislation. Whoever is opposed to local State government may well oppose this bill, but no one else can. Personally I prefer making the bill more sweep ing in some of its provisions, but be ing anxious for some wholesome legislation now, I accept this bill as reported by the committee and ap proved, so far as I am'advised, by the temperance organizations of the country.

This course is evidently now not ripe for to intervene, many believe it is 1 — now time to make order out of i chaos, to take troops and practically ! reduce the country into a province of the United States, to be so held and controlled until stability of gov ernment is guaranteed. The question is a peculiarly puz zling one at this particular time, because of th# change In govern ment administrations in the United States next week. President Taft has ordered ten thousand men to Galveston, the most available point to Mexican territory and at Guan tanamo, there are ten large war- 1 ships ready, with marines, to sail at a moment’s notice. President Wil son will have the chance of inter vening without much trouble-everv-j this day, when the Representatives of the American people will answer on the roll call with their votes the entreaties and imploring prayers millions of country-serving, God fearing, home-loving men and w en. This day, O men, we who hold high station can dedicate one vote to libery, country, God and home, and rededicate the Constitution to the people, withdrawing it forever as a bulwark for that conglomeration of cormorants who, in defiance of the State, debauch manhood slaughter womanhood, butcher child-hood, and crucify babyhood on the accursed cross of alcohol. (Applause.) How to Tell Your Sweetheart’s Age. A magical table has been invent- el and published broadcast that enable you to learn any person’s age with a little calculation. Here is the table: 3 8 16 9 17 33 62 62 63 63 Just hand this table to a young lady and request her to tell you in which column her age la contained and add together the figures at the top of the column in which her ace Is found, and you have the great, secret.

If other farmers are as wise and thoughtful as those in this community, they are making good the time. Almost every farmer in this vicinity has been hauling guano during the pa6t week. Some of those who were hauling last Satur day were Messrs. Don Rehberg, 3ol. Chastain, Gene Rehberg, S. R. Reh berg, Goff, and G. F. Rehberg. Mr. J. J. Wyrlck made a business trip to Ochlocknee last Tuesday. Last Monday, Messrs. Tom Ellis and Don Rehbeo-g went over U» Ochlocknee on business. Rev.

Parker adjourned the meet ing, and went over to Midway to preach on Sunday. The congrega tlon was some better Sunday to hear Bro. Davis. In the afternoon, most of the congregation went up to MacIntyre school house, at which time Rev. D. 'H. PaTker preached up there. There will be preaching there the next fourth Sunday afternoon. MT. Cleveland Chastain and Mr. Alton Carter visited from out ol The Forks" last Sunday. Mr. Gen© Rehberg attended his lodge meeting In Ochlocknee last Friday evening. Mr. C. F. Rehberg carried a load of pork to Thoma8vllle for sale Tuesday. The people of this com munity have had a great deal of meat for sale'this winter. Another visitor to the station from here last Saturday was Mr. Joe Rehberg. Mr. Frank Fulford, of Meies, ac companied Bro. Davis to church Sunday. His many friends of this community were glad to see him among them. “METCALFE” ‘MERRILLVILLE” “SPRING HILL" There is but one property owner in Thomas county who gives in taxes •r©r a hundred thousand dollars Thera are several, however, who would have a fit if they had to give up all their assets for that measly sum. that step .advisable or necessary. If the progress of Government is slow, but apparently sure, and or der seems to be possible, it Is safe to say that the United States will not take a hand. Intervention means years of warfare of one kind or an other, with an enormous expense, and if the desired end is to be at tained In any other manner, it is in finitely more desirable. With Wilson it will be as with Taft, a last resort.

Ander son, after careful scrutiny of his production declined to read it for a very good reason. The Constitution says: Representative S. Anderson Roddenbery, of Georgia, is not ed on the stump for his rapid- fire utterance. In debate In Congress he expresses himself with volubility and vigor.

Tho ravenous buzzard, with his morbid talons buried into the decaying flesh of its rotting victim, with his gluttonous beak smeared and drip ping with the putrid vital* of his lifeless carcass, is a noble animal by comparison with the merciless flock of human buzzards who, under the guise of interstate commerce, for sordid gain and enrichened cof fers, defy public sentiment, respect the law of no soveielga State, in o-der that they may grow fat on tp' lifeblood of their unfortunate men (applause): who, like demons of perdition, claw out the disconsolate hearts of tens of thousands of tor tured, pleading women; who re morselessly hurl into the bottomies* nits of bitterness. hopelessness, and despair the starving, naked, wailin'’ i tcloohol-orphanized childhood of this land.
