ENFORCEMENT
Also Urged that the People
Attend the Mass Meeting
Tuesday Night.
In nearly every Protestant pulpit
in Augusta Sunday, the question of
prohibition enforcement was touched
on at more or less length. Several
strong sermons were preached. Other
ministers only made passing mention
of the subject, urging their congrega
tions and the public to attend the
mass meeting Tuesday night.
One of the strongest sermons yet
delivered from any Augusta pulpit
was that of Rev. Dr. Richard_Wilkin
son, at St. James’ Methodist, who con
tinued with the text from which he
preached a week ago last night.
Rev. Howard T. Cree preached a
strong sermon at the First Christian
church on sleeping citizenship, or in
different-lsm to the laxity of enforce
ment of the prohibition law. His ad
dress was a strong and eloquent ap
peal that every citizen of Augusta
take g. decided stand In the matter.
Rev. A. N. Pierce, pastor of Wood
lawn Methodist church, touched at
some length on the subject of law
enforcement. He took occasion to
outline the duties of a juror Impan
elled In a prohibition case, urging
strongly the argument that no jur»
man should for a moment consider
his own sentiments in regard to the
wisdom of the law, or its folly, but
that, he should stand for a verdict
squarely on one issue, "guilty or not
guilty.”
Rev. George E. Guille, of the
Greene Street Preshyterian church,

the Winter of our discontent, when we are obliged to close

did not go into the subject of law
enforcement at great length, but he
urged his congregation to attend the
Tuesday night mass meeting, ex
pressing the hope that the movement
thereby inaugurated will do a great
good.
Ur. Plunket, of the First Presby
terian church, also urged a large at
tendance upon the muss meeting. He
called attention strongly to the pur
pose of the leaders of the meeting
to draw a Hue distinctly between law
abiding and law-breaking citizens.
Arguing that the American govern
ment is self-governed by the people.
Rev. E. F. liempsey, of the Broad
wny Methodist church, took the posi
tion that “as citizens of a self-gov
ernad commonwealth, it Is not only
our right hut our duty to ourselves,
to our fellow-citizens and to God to
bring cases and prosecute all viola
tors of the law as our state provides.
For any one not to do so." he added,
"is to jeopardize every life and all
property.”
Rev. H. L. S. Toomer, pastor of
Berean Baptist church, said, in the
course of his sermon. "We do not
believe In the present way the law
is being enforced by our city officials,
therefore It behooves us as citizeus to
demand the enforcement of the pro
hibition law by those in office, or the
removal of the present officials and
the substitution of more capable and
Godly men to fill their vacancies."
The pastor of Asbury Methodist
ohurch. Rev. H. W. Joiner, urged his
congregation to attend the mass meet
ing He preached that if prohibition
is rigidly enforced. It will result In
less drunkenness, and a material de
crease In crime.
BREAKS THE COLD PROMPTLY
The following formula is a never
falling remedy for colds:
One ounce of compound syrup of
Sarsaparilla, one ounce Toris com
pound and half pint of good whiskey,
mix and shake thoroughly each time
and use in doses of a tablespoonful
every four hours.
This will frequently cure an acute
cold in twenty four hours. The in
gredient* can be gotten at any drug
store.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
GRIPPE VICTIM
Restored to Heaftti and Stren£th
by Vinol After all Other
Means Had Failed.
PROFESSOR HICKS’ STORY.
"i suffered from a severe attack of
the grippe which left me in a weak
ened condition with bronchitis, a
soreness in my chest and a hacking
cough. I tried different physicians
and took nearly every kind of cough
syrup sold on the market without
getting any permanent relief. I saw
your cod liver and iron preparation—
Vinol —advertised, and decided to try
it, and it completely cured my bron
chial trouble and restored my
strength. I cannot say too much for
Vinol, as I received inexpressible
benefit from its use, and I consider
it one of the greatest blessings ever
offered to the public.” R. E-. R.
Hicks, Maplesville, Ala.
The grippe invariably leaves in Its
wake a weakened, run-down condi
tion of the system. Vinol is guar
anteed to restore the sufferer to
health and strength, and to build up
and create strength for old people,
| delicate children and weak, debil.l
tated people. So sure are we of this
that we unhesitatingly say give Vinol
a trial. If you think it does you no
good we will refund your money, but
it will. Alexander Drug Co., Augusta,
BROADWAY CHURCH
PASSES RESOLUTIONS
A resolution was passed by the
congregation of the Broadway Metho
dist church Sunday to the effect that
they were tired of the way the pro
hibition law was being enforced and
they pledged themselves to the minis
ters and officers of the law in their
effort to stamp out the blind tigers
of the city. The resolutions were:
"Augusta, Ga„ Jan. 17, 1909.
"Whereas. The flagrant violation
of the prohibition law has aroused
the law-abiding citizens of Augusta
to the necessity of adopting such
measures as will put a stop to such
violations, and insure the enforcement
of said law; and,
"Whereas, our attention has been
forcibly called to this matter by the
eloquent sermons of our pastor, there
fore, be it
"Resolved, That we, the officers
and members of Broadway M. E.
church, hereby put ourselves on rec
ord as deeply incensed over the vio
lation of the prohibition law in our
community, and as a Christian church
standing for its full and absolute ob
servance.
"Resolved. That we call upon our
city authorities to exert every effort
in their power to crush out the num
erous "blind tigers” existing In our
midst and to bring the violators of
the law to speedy trial.
‘Resolved, That we pledge our
support to our pastor, to the Minis
terial association, and to all bodte*
of men and Individuals who are work
ing for the maintainanoe of the law.

MR.TQQMER SPOKE
ON VIOLATION OF
THEM
Criticized City officials for
Not Better Enforcing the
Enactment.
Rev. H. L. M. Toomer, preaching
at the Crawford Baptist church Sun
day night, addressing himself to the
lack of enforcement of the prohibition
law in Augusta said in part as fol
lows:
“Note the blessedness of the doers
of the perfect law. There is no de- j
light to them so deep and true as the j
delight of doing the will of Him ;
whom we love. There is no blessed- I
ness like that of an increasing com- |
munion with God and that of the j
clear perfection of his will and mind ;
which follows obedience as surely as
the shadow does the sunshine. Of
this our siy officials seem to have
no conception whatever, especially
the judge of the city’s every day nine
a. m. matinee, who claims it causes i
him pain to do his duty; God pity
and forgive him for surely he i
knoweth not what injustice he is do
ing in such statements against our :
city and our God's cause among men !
who possess a mortal soul.
“What is the meaning of a law of j
liberty?
“Men commonly look upon a law
-as something that restricts and con
fines their liberty. And they com
monly tnink that to he at liberty
means to he free from law and to do
as they like.
God trains us very much as we do
our children. We begin by putting
them under a rule; we send them to
school; we require them to keep
j hours; we make them do exactly
! what we bid them; we do not allow
1 hem to loiter or be lazy over their
work; we get them into the habits
of works; we try by putting them
under a law of work, to make them
like to be busy, to feel idleness a
burden, to wonder how people can
like to be idle, to feel a real pleasure
in having things to do and in doing
them well and at proper times. See
how we who are parents do natural
ly try to turn law into liberty, and,
so far as we can, we get our children
to do freely and for choice what at
first they do for duty and because
they must.
But with our city officials it is vice
versa. They have had the oppor
tunity to choose to do their duty in
regards to the law and be at liberty,
this they have not done. Therefore
it becomes every good citizen to rise
to a point of enforcement for as tax
payers we can and must have men
to fill our city offices who will pro
tect our homes, families and our
city’s good name, a time like this re
quires men, Sun Crowned men, Qod
fearing men, and to God we pray fop
such to be sent to us to fill the of
fices of our city for in this day and
time, God knows we cannot expect
protection from the present adminis
trators of the law of our city.
Do we wish to find freedom, liberty,
delight, in religion and the service of
God?
"There is only one way to do so,
and that way is by obeying the law
of God, with our own hearty choice
and firm and constant endeavor, un
til that which begins by being law
ends in being perfect liberty. ‘Whose
service is perfect freedom?’ Men aro
apt to think that these things are
opposite to one another; that where
there is service there cannot be free
dom, and where there is freedom
there is of course, an end to service.
But no; In the true service of God
is tho real, perfect, happy freedom.
Just as in the obedience of the law
of God is the only real and perfect
liberty. It is all on whether the
words be 'God’s service is perfect
freedom,’ or ‘God’s law is perfect lib
erty.’ Either way it is the same:
No freedom without service; no liber
ty without law. Under the present
state of affairs, there is no liberty
freedom, service, or law in our city!
You ask why? Because first the man
who violates the law is not at liber
ty to do so before the eyes of God
and true citizenship therefore is a
criminal because her i s violating the
law of the state and of God and mak
ing merchandise of his immortal soul
When he does this, his freedom
ceases.
"No service because the mpn who
violates the law is not rendering ser
vice to his fellowmen, but causing his
fellowmen to commit a crime for ail
service in vain if we cannot ask God's
blessing upon it. And no man can
expect to do anything abroad until
he accomplishes something at home.
We claim to want to evanglize the
world for Christ, but does the pres
ent condition of our city prove that
w e are really interested in the wel
fare of man's immortal soul? it
looks like if we were, we would
Heart Trouble
from Childhood
"1 suffered with my heart from
girlhood; could not sleep on left
side. Eleven bottles of Dr. Miles’
Heart Remedy removed all these

The life of the body is the blood.
It runs on and on, carrying nourish

long as life lasts—the heart makes
it go. When the heart is weak it
cannot do this, and dizzy spells, pd

it is doing its work imperfectly.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy
strengthens the heart nerves and
muscles, and restores normal action
to the heart.

M’GOVERN CHICKENS
LOST IN THE FLAMES
Champion Light Weight
Fought Fire But Lost
Fine Coop of Chicks.
NEW YORK. —Terry McGovern, the
former champion lightweight, and his
family are in tears. They’re just
“heart broken,” as Terry himself de
scribes it. Hugh and Phil, Terry’s
brothers, live with their mother in
Brooklyn, and in the rear of their
home reposes, or rather reposed, the
pride of their hearts and the source
of envy of their neighbors. It was a
coop full of fine chickens. The other
day the McGovern home caught fire
and though with true family grit all
the McGoverns fought it sturdily, they
failed to land the knockout punch.
When the smoke had disappeared
it was discovered that the pet chicks
had all been lost in the flames.
BUSH NEWS NOTES.
BUSH. S. C. —The farmers here
are taking a winning stand against
95 at Western corn and judging from
the acreage and conditions of the
oat crops, they are the best seen
here in many year.
The farmers seem to be in good
spirit, and are forging to the front
with their work breaking and pre
paring land for another crop.
Messrs. Turner and W. H. William

Mr. W. A. Alexander is erecting a

is a very successful mill man.
Messrs. Alexander and McDaniel

Father Kelly, president of the
Catholic Church Extension society,
says that in three years the society
has built 200 chapels, circulated 1,-
000,000 pieces of Catholic literature,
established a Catholic magazine
reaching about 300,000 readers every
month, placed twenty-five students
for the missionary priesthood in col
lege under the pledge that they will
labor in poor dioceses, and inspired
the establishment of a college and
seminary for the education of Italian
Americans for the Italian priesthood
of America.
It has over SIOO,OOO now on hand
in securiues, most of which represent
loans free of interest to poor
parishes, which would without these
be forced to pay exorbitant rates. It
has placed the chapel car on the
road to inspire more building; and it
now expects very soon to have a sec
ond chapel car engaged in the same
efficient service. Surely this is
enough to demons! rate the usefulness
of this society in extending the
Catholic faith in our country!
Archbishop Quigley adds that: “It
Is estimated that within a short time
the annual income of the Church Ex
tension society will reach approxi
mately $500,000 yearly, instead of the
present SIOO,OOO. We shall aim at
$500,000 as a maximum; and with
that anfount it will be possible to
care adequately for the poorer dio
ceses of the United States. The
fact that these dioceses will be ade
quately taken care of in a financial
way will be of the utmost importance
to the cause of the Catholic church i
on this continent.”
