Traction Engine Hauls Freight.
During the strike on the Georgia
Railroad last week the people of
Thomson had a traction engine to
haul their supplies from Augusta to
that place. The people of that city
ran entirely out of food stuffs and this
big engine was hitched to h number
of wagons and sent to Augusta. The
distance w’as thirty-eight miles and it
took the train of wagons twenty-eight
hours to make the trip each w r ay.
The people of Thomson are heartily
in sympathy with the union firemen
and the wagon train was met by a
large force of strikers and cheered
continually while in Augusta.
The people of Thompson state that
they are willing and ready’ to put up
with the inconvenience indefinitely
unless the railroad is willing to give
the firemen what they ask. The au¬
thorities of this,plucky little city was
the first to pass' an ordinance through prohib¬
iting the railroad to run trains
with negro or non-union firmen.
Store to be Remodeled.
The store room occupied by’ Mr. M.
Levin will be overhauled and remodel¬
ed throughout this summer. Mr. Le¬
vin has made several changes in his
business which necessitates a modern
building and it will be put in firstclass
shape during the summer months.
Mr. Levin has not decided as yet
where he will move his stock while
the work is being done but will be
somewhere around the public square.
In the Millinery department of his
store he is offering some exceptional
bargains to the ladies as that depart¬
ment will be discontinued until he
gets back into his old stand.
The work of remodeling will begin
about the first of July.

MATRIMONIAL EX¬
CHANGE COMING
Will be Played at Opera House
Thursday Night by a Troupe
From Jersey, Ga.
One of the most charming plays ev¬
er given in Monroe was that which
was presented at Mobley Hall on Fri¬
day’ evening by the young people of
Jersey. A crowded house greeted the
players as the curtains rose at 8:30
o’clock. The play was enjoyable from
beginning to end, and the plot was
most interesting. The name of the
play, “Matrimonial Exchange” ex¬
plains itself.
An ingenious mama, poor but proud
plans to marry’ one of her two beauti¬
ful daughters to a rich old widower.
She insists upon the marriage, telling
her daughter she must marry the old
man, or go to the poor house. The
girl after much tearful entreaty prom¬
ise. Her sister hears the conversation
and plans to help her sister out of her
trouble. One morning the scheming
mama goes to her daughter’s rooms to
find the birds have flown.
The daughter who had promised to
marry leaves her mother a note telling
her she could not marry, that she
simply hated her fiance and that she
and her sister had decided to go away’
to earn a livelihood. After fruitless
attempts to earn a living they finally
open up a Matrimonial Exchange.
Meanwhile the handsome young son
of the rich old widower appears on
the scene and falls in love with his
father’s sweetheart.
The “Matrimonial Exchange” caus¬
ed the marriage of the scheming
mama and the old widower leaves the
field clear for the young couple, who
finally marry and live -happily’ ever
afterward.
To select the best players in the
play would be impossible for all did
well, and every player sustained his
or her part admirably.
A charming feature of the evening
was the recitation of Mrs. J. L. Mc
Garity. selections
Beautiful musical were
rendered between the acts.—'V alton

QUESTIONS ON SUN¬
DAY SCHOOL LESSON
Prepared by Rev. Dr. Linscott for
The International Bible Study
Club in this Paper.
Study for Sunday, June 6th, 1909.
The Power of the Tongue. Janies
3:1-12.
Golden Text— Whose keepeth his
mouth and his tongue keepeth his
soul from troubles. Prov. 21:23.
This chapter continues the
thought of last week’s lesson, based
on the previous chapter.
Verse 1—What class of persons
are “masters,” most likely to want to rule, or
be those engaged in
good works or those who neglect
them?
Will one who is in rapt love
with his fellows want to rule them,
or will he judge them harshly?
Unfaithful Christians always put
up a high standard for others; what
effect will that have upon the stand¬
ard with which God will measure
them? (See Matt. 7:1-5.)
Verse 2—How much of our
trouble and how much of the
trouble we make for others is
caused by our tongues?
If a man does not do any harm
by his words, is he very apt to do
any otherwise?
If a man says hard and unkind
things about his neighbors, and in¬
tentionally wounds the feelings of
others by his words, is he necessarily
a bad man?
Is the control of the tongue the
key to the control of the entire
man?
Verse 3—It takes an iron bit to
control a horse, what is the “bit” !
which will effectually control the!
tongue?
In what respect is an ungoverned
tongue like a runaway horse with a
broken bit, and what are generally the
results in each case? (This question
must be answered in writing by mem¬
bers of the club.)
Verses 4-5—It is actually so, that
the tongue is to the man what the
rudder is to the ship, that is, does
the tongue govern the influence of
the man?
Is it necessary at all times
watch our tongugs, compelling them
to refrain from wrong words, and
to use right words; just as the man
at the wheel of a ship controls the
rudder with vigilant watchfulness?
Is the tongue capable of setting
a church or a neighborhood all
ablaze with scandal, just as a match
may set fire to a city?
Verse 6---What are some of the
many “iniquities” which the
tongue can cause?
Can you recall and mention some
of the moral poison emitted by an
evil tongue?
Do persons with an evil tongue
always draw their inspiration from
“hell?”

Verses 7-8-—Man can do very
wonderful things, in training ani¬
mals and controlling the forces of
nature, but cannot “tame” the
human tongue, nor destroy its
poison; to whom may we apply to
have this effectually done?
Verses 9-12—-If a man uses his
tongue both for bad and for good,
for “blessing and cursing,” does
this not stamp him as a rank
hypocrite?
Is it possible for a person with an
evil tongue, to be at the same time
well pleasing to God?
