the automobile iaws of the
country's comrn ting crimes against
society. He called attention o the
lav.* r,"\' uirirjg that all pistols be listed
for taxation and said that the
oesi remedy lor pistol toting is the
"Co'ir.iy roads. The same remedy was
prescribed for those violating the liquor
laws. He was glad, he said, to
know that the Legislature has applied
the terms of the Federal prohibition
laws to the state, making it unlawful
to have intoxicating liquor in any
quantity. In regard to carrying pistols.
he addressed h:* remark.- largely
tc the colored people, saying that
the good colored citizens should ostracize
the pistol toter. It'i^ especially
the duty of the colored minis^

In conclusion Judge Stack declared
that law enforcement must prevail,
because, he said, statistics show that

Those excavators over in Egypt "(

nothing en a hunch of Sanford youn- w
gsters who while on their way home tli
from school Tuesday at noon discov v.*
ered by the side of the street near B
the heart of the city, a fruit jar pack- w
ed full of pure gold, the coin of the n<
realm, variously estimated ax. from M
$1800 to $2,200. WBgW
Thus Sanford, without knowing it tfi
has been enjoying for some time th? ui
distinction of being the only city perhaps
this side of the New Jerusalem, hi
that had a street literally "paved with *?
gold" at least partially so. th
In the treasure jar, the top of P<
which had been broken otT by heavy ei
traffic or by the street scraper, con- ' 1
Lained coins of all denominations, one *:;
iio!iar pieces, two and a half, five ten
and twenty dollar pieces. For a time
as long as they lasted, gold coins
were as free as the pebbles on the
street, ami a dozen 01 more children th
[ire enriched b> toe precious discov- to
t>". v*
It was the keen eye of little Marrare
t C-rowder, the 12 year old dau- v
ghter of U. W. Crowder, telegraph'sp
operator for the Seaboard here, that
spied something of an unusual J hi

vhat any other unsophisticated girl es
vouid have done. She grabbed both 11,1
lands full of the precious treasure a
uid ran home with it to make known
ler good fortune, leaving the rest to ^1
inybody who might appropriate it.
\ dozen or more of her school mates wl
vho were with her were on the job
nstantly. Some of them, however
lot realizing the value of what they
lad found, freely shared it with each m'
ither and with any casual passerby.
It is saiu one little fellow gave $20

h? - tte was a direct blow at the i
avings of the antis. Scenting con>iderab!e

were levied on the Parker
intendment?a sort of last stand as
t were. Put it went over and

The antis are accused of. having

But when the storm subsided
the wind changed.
In 'spite of the turmoil and storms
of the session, the administration
has come out the victor and if the
antis can find anything for rejoicing
it will be through a wonderful and
super-human expansion of the imagination.
But the poor Legislature is doubtless
in for some cuffing about when
its individual members get home. It
has aroused enough displeasure to
bring on it the condemnation of the
displeased. It's really a bitter end-'
:..g" tiii-t will be reached tonight or!

B. Y. P. U. NOTES
Coming Sunday evening at six o
lock at the Boone Baptist Church
larch 11th a Bible Study lesson?the
Ihort Books of the New Testament,
Timothy. In this lesson we study
.bout some of the hardships Paul
rent through with. Just now let's see
iow Paul got along when he visited
erusalem. While Paul was at Caesara
we find that he had a visit from
prophet named Agabus. This propLet
had been taught by the Holy
Ipirit the things that would happen
o Paul at Jerusalem. So he took
'aul's girdle and bound his own hand
,nd feet and said, "Thus saith the
July Ghost so shall the Jews at Jetxsalem
bind the man who owneth
his girdle and shall give him up to
he Gentiles." When the friends of
*aui heard this they all begged him
lot to go to Jerusalem; they loved
lim very much and could not bear
hat he should suffer and they w&ntd
him to stay with them. But what
Igahus prophesied did not frighten
*aul ai all. He turned to his friends
iho were weeping ai! around him and
aid "what mean ye to weep and to
ueak my heart? 1 am ready not ony
to be bound but also to die at Jeusalem,
for the name of the Lord
esus." So when his friends saw how
letermined he was they did not try
o persuade any more 'out only said
The will of the Lord he done."
So Paul tame to Jerusalem. The
trethren there received him with
Teat joy: but very soon the unbeieving
Jews began to persecute him
i Agabus had prophesied. They acused
him of speaking against the
?\v not understanding what it was
hat he preached, and then they laid
iO!d of him in the temple and drew
iim out and tried to kill him. All
erusutem was in an uproar; but at
ist tn? Roman Captain Lysias came
ut with some soldiers, and Ih'-n they1
ecame quieter and left olT beating
'au!. So Lysias took him and bound
im with two chains and then he askd
the people who Paul was, and
hat he had done. Some cried out
no thing and some another, and the
hief captain could not understand
hat they meant: but he demanded
'aul to-be took to the castle. As he
as carried along by the soldiers the
lultitade followed crying, "away
nth him;** Just as many had cried
rhen Christ himself had been taken
o be put to death, Paul was now hard
and despised and persecuted for
is master's sake.
Hear Paul tell these wicked people
f his past history?the wonderful
f his cruelties to the Christians at
rat, and his conversion to the faith
f Christ afterwards, when going to
>amascus; and of the command that
iod gave him to go ar.d preach to
lie Gentiles. The people heard Paul
latiently till he came to this, and
hen they grew very angry indeed,
because as Jews they felt jealous of
he Gentiles, and could nut bear that
Iod should show them any love or
avor. So they cried out, "away with

this man; it is not right that he
should live. Then the chief captain
brought Paul int the castle and deman
ded that he should be beaten. But
while they were binding him Paul
said to a ccnturian who stood by,
'Is it lawful to beat a man who is
a Roman and uncondemned?" When
the centurian heard this he went to
Lysias and said "Take care what thou
doest for this man is a Roman and
uncondemned." Then the chief captain
asked Paul himself '"Art thou a
Roman?" And he answered "Yes."
?
la* si as oegati lo he ingtitened at this
for it was unlawful to tre^t a free
citizen of Rome as he had treated
Paul. So the next day Lysias called
together the chief priest and their
council; and loosed Paul from his
bonds, and brought him before them
to be examined. '
Just meditate on this for a moment
and see what Paul hcs went Uiru
with. We haven't done anything
compared with the works and sufferings
of Paul the great Apostile. We
need "PEP."
