Friday, July 4, 1924 THE FRANKLIN PRESS Page Five Prohibition Sleuths And Personal Liberty There is a spot on the Ashevillc Greenvillc highway, beyond the North Carolina line, atwhich a wide detour should be constructed. Other wise travelers should mount machine guns on their automobiles for the protection of life and property when It is Vtne of Sou South Carolina ter ritory where law-abiding tourists arc not safe jn their persons and effects from the unlawful assaults of Federal and State officers, assaults made with force of arms, without warning and without any pretense of due process or law. mere. omcers sworn 10 up hold constitutional liberties, no less than enforce, the Volstead Act, adopt . the methods of highwaymen. There men, women and children are liable to be shot down, day or night, arrd especially if they have 'the temerity to travel at night. Federal Prohibition Agent Reuben Gosnell explains that he met with re sistance when he uhdtrtook to search a car Monday night and that the of ficers fired in self-defense. The party of Atlan-ta tourists state that they were drinking water from their army' canteens when-they were set upon by men showing signs, of having imbibed of the forbidden fluid which it is.thcir duty to keep others from drinking. One of the'travelers ordered Gosnell to throw up his hands; Gosnell yelled for help and, according to the At "lantans, their assailants opened fire upon them. Two of the Atlanta busi ness men are in a Greenville hospital. It is a secondary criticism to say - that the prohibition agents of this particular locality in South Carolina are bringing the cause they stand for into disrepute, They are making a mockery of every tradition of per sonal liberty in a country founded upon the basic right of citizens to go and come as they please as long as they come and go lawfully and on lawful errands. What does Mj Gosnell expect when he prances into the midst of a party of peaceable citizens drinking a plain mixture cf hydrogen and oxygen, and cavorts around as if he had come up on a still in full blast? The ordinary civil rights were not abrogated in the adoption of the Eighteenth Amend ment and the enforcement act. Surely this second demonstration on South Carolina soil of tile exis tence of an intolerable system of lawlessness- on ihe part of prohibition agents will move the Federal and State authorities to drastic action. Citizens who are willing to limit themselves to a half of 1 per cent in beverages nevertheless demand 100 per cent' in the constitutional guaran ties of the law. Asheville Citizen.

C0I1FIIIED TO BED Birmingham Lady Took Cardui for Relief of Change of Life Troubles and Says It Helped Her "So Much' Birmingham, Ala. -"I first took Cardui for that tired, worn-out feeling that comes from being dreadfully run down," says Mrs. Catherine E. Smith, of 2106 Stout Street. "Twenty-five years ago; I was suffering from wom anly weakness. I read of Cardui in an almanac, and thought I would try it. I got a bottle pnd it helped ma from the first. After that, during the whole of my married life, I took Cardui when I needed it "About four years ago, change of life came on me. . . I grew weaker and weaker, and was confined to my bed, where I lay on my back for days, t was told that only a severe operation could do me any good, and this de pressed me very much, for I dreaded such an ordeal. ' y - "I remembered how' Cardui had helped t me for female trouble in the East and I had read of how it had elped other women during change of life, so one night I told my husband to go to the drug store and get me a bottle. I began taking it at once. From the first dose I could feel myself , getting stronger. . . L continued to take Cardui until I was entirely through this very trying period of a woman's .life." , Cardui. at all dealers'.

B. H. MATHEWS, C. S. REED, S.N.DAVIS, L. D. MANEY, P. P. SPAIN, W. B. FRADY, W. A. McGEACHY. Letter From Lyman, Wash. ' We are having nice w'e'ather at this writing and gardens are looking fine. R. E. Painter, of Lyman, Wash., has broken the record growing gar den peas, 7 feet and 8 inches high, and not through growing yet. Rev. Vergil Ramey filled his regu lar appointment today. He preached a, very interesting sermon. The Sunday School is progressing fine under the leadership of Mrs. R. E. Painter. There were 99 present today. - Mr. Harlie Cabe is visiting R. E. Painter and his brother, George, for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. John Wilson spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs. R. E, Painter recently. The Ladies' Aid met with Mrs. Vergil Raniey last" Thursday, with fifteen present. The time was spent doing fancy work and in Scripture reading by the.. President, Mrs. R. E. Painter. A, number of short prayers, and closing prayer by Rev. Ramey. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess. Rev. Ramey and family took din ner with Mr. Will Ammons Sunday. A revival meeting started Sunday night at the First Baptist Church in Lyman. Let's pray that many Christians may be waked up to a sense of their, duty and many sin ners saved. When God saves us He saves us for service. We don't ueed to think that we can go to heaven on flowery beds of ease. We are perse cuted and marry hard things said about us, but Christ says, "Blessed are those that are persecuted, for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom oL heaven." We have three kinds of church members here, the workers, the shirkers and the jerkers, but the kind that please god are the willing workers. So let's all try to please our Heavenly Father by heing obedient to Him and willing to do what we can in His service. ' P. IN MEMORY OF " MRS. CARMA WILSON Dear Carma passed beyond this vale Where grftf and woe abound, Into that bright eternal dale, . . Where Peace and Joy are found. Dear Carma's smiles we miss each day Her face we see no more, But out beyond in God's own way, She smiles on heaven's shore. A flower plucked from life's broad field, Transplanted by God's hand, Up there , to bloom and fragrance yield For heaven's sunshine band. , - Our hearts today are sad, indeed,. So burdened down with care, For death in its relentless speed, ; Spared not our jewel, fare. Yet, God, in His infinite way, Sees best, and this we know, . So, let's' await another day, i Then we shall homeward go. HER COUSIN. THE POWER OF MUSIC. Nothing on earth will reach deeper into the souls of mankind than the sweet strains of music. God's.. Holy Word teaches us that music is an in dispehdblc factor in His divine plan of work and worship. , The Bible that teaches us to pray; teaches us to sing, . also. And' the command to sing is as great as the command to pray. Our hearts go out in sympathy to those who go forth to preach the Gospel, that souls may be saved; yet, the true Gospel singer who gives his life to 'the cause of Christ deserves, also, help and en couragement, for he who writes a pure Gospel song, sings it,, and sends is forth for others to sing, reaches, perhaps, more souls than the com poser himself, is worthy of commen dation. If more thought was given to true Gospel singing there would be fewer lifeless churches, more Christians and better paid preachers. It is just as essential to know how to sing as it is to know how to pray. There are' just as many, if not more, fouls led to Christ by Gospel singing as there are by preaching and prayers. Will the God-loving, people continue to neglect this important part of Ihe work of the church?- Can we not get preaching, praying and tinging so "united in one that God would be so pleased that He would send a ihower of blessings and sanc tify us as true believers and doers of His holy will.
