A number of years ago a young
man, who had just been fined by
the mayor of Cleveland on a charge
of drunkenness, came to the editor
of The Courier and pleaded that
his name might not appear in con¬
nection with the case, not only
promising, but signing a pledge
that he would not be drunk in
Cleveland within a year from that
time. We complied with his re¬
quest. If that young man has been
intoxicated in Cleveland since that
time we have not heard of it, and
that is quite a few years ago. He
was a boy of his word, aad if we
have helped him we are proud of
it. It is no pleasure for us, as an
editor—or anything else—to write
up stories that people are ashamed
of being connected with, and if we
can do or help to do anything that
will tend to improve and strengthen
the will of any person to make of
themselves a better citizen, we are
glad to do it,
In connection with this we have
now before us a request from one
who has recently been before the
mayor and who was charged with
serious misconduct, having been
drunk at the time. This man’s
failing is the want of will power
to govern himself and to withstand
temptation when whisky is before
him. He has been sentenced to
pay a fine of IgO and thirty days
upon the street, but the thirty days
has been suspended. We hoffe he
■will in future be able to live up to
the standard required of him, but
in order that be may hope to do so,
he must not only resolve to ‘'let
whiskey alone,” but do it, for the
continuation of its use means rnore
and greater troubles not only for
him, but to his family, to his friends
and to all well-wishers of peace
and happiness, Let us hope that
that man has drank his last drop of
intoxicants that we may be all the
more proud of him.

Quarterly Conference Meeting
The first quarterly conference of
the M. E. Church, Soath, for she
Cleveland charge, was held with
Cleveland church, last Wednesday.
There was a large attendance, and
the meeting was the most successful
ever held in all respects. All but
two churches were represented.
The financial reports showed that
never before bad there baen such
interest manifested, many churches
having doubled in collections over
former years. To meet the increas¬
ed cost of living the preacher’s sal¬
ary was correspondingly increased.
The interest manifested at this
meeting was quite encouaaging and
shows that the work of the church
is steadily advancing and taking
deeper root in the hearts of its
membership, as well as all lovers
of righteousness.

IN MEMORY
Tliis is in memory of A/cs. At ary
Logging, who died on February
and was laid to rest in White Creek
cemetery on February 6. She leaves
friends and relatives to weep and
mourn for her loss. She was on
her bed of affliction for four weeks
and died in her right mind. She
leaves a husband and four children.
She told them not to weep for her,
and that she would be waiting for
them up there and that there was
nothing between her and her God.
She said the Lord helped her bear
her great pain with patience,await
ing the time when He would take
her in His loving arms. She show¬
ed love and respect for her husband
and died with her arms around bis
neck. She didn’t seem to fear
death. Her death should be an ex¬
ample to those who are yet living.
Written by one who helped to
on her through her last days.

_
Forty per cent of the people ot |
Georgia are half sick and fully
ninety per cent of these can at¬
tribute their sufferings to stomach |
troubles,
Such are the main points in Pom¬
eroy’s new theory which has stirred
Atlanta, Macon and other Georgia
cities where he has visited during
the past few weeks. “This is due
to modern conditions,” he explain¬
ed in Atlanta recently.
“These people,” he went on,
“have run-down, overworked di¬
gestive organs, owing to too little
exercise in the fresh air and too
much hastily eaten food. It isn’t
kidney trouble, or nervousness, or j
liver complaint, or dozens of other
diseases invented by their imagina- j

and started our conversation by
saying: ‘My stomach is on the

“It is the American tendency to
treat the stomach with too little re¬

with too much food, and then when
the digestive organs get out of or¬

don’t know what is the matter with
