WILLIAMSTON LADIES f I MARE CRUSADE AGAINST VICE IN THAT CITY Putting Stop to Gambling, Cigarette Smoking, Wasteful Card Playing and Evil Movie Shows. WOMEN'S CLUB IS ORGANIZED The WilUamaton .Woman's Club was organized tast week with the following officers: Mrs. W. 0. Har rell. President; Mrs. Wheeler liar tinll Jt.. Vice-President; Mrs. P. W. Heft,' Md *\flce-?repl<Jent;" Mrs. * A. D. Mlc?II, a**retgry; Mre.' Jobn Li Hasnell, Treasurer. The woueft. began a careful In quiry to find Jqst whyit their friends end bods were doing when not en gaged la their. usual duties of the day. And to their utter astonish ment, they found certain men who would Secrete themselves In some back room and play poker. Other young men, It was discovered, were breaking into public buildings. The school building had actuairy been broken, into on many occasions and high-handed gambling carried on. It was also found that the court house had been entered by opening a de fective blind and playing in the petit jury room. But the.thing that was molt mortifying to the good women, was that many of them found that their small boya had seen with their keSn and quick discerning eyes, the playing and gambling by their Teth ers and older brothers, and were likewise congregating in outbuild ings, clumps of woods and in other hiding places and were gaming too. No one ?'c* surprised at finding the boya playing, as they had seen their own fathers, lawmakers, doctors, lawyers; educators, town , officers, lty playing, and certainly they fol lowed along. Th* women handled the situation by simply asking thetr husbands and sons to stop and look at their! examples, and by keeping a more vigilant eye on the email boy. The result has been that more than 60 per cent, of this dangerous habit has been stopped. They found that the playftig of rook, set beck, bridge, etc.,*to an excess was detrimental, and a cause for time-wasting; they fecund that 47 glrlg and 21 boys had~br<eA tardy and lost their places on the honor roll caused by late rook playing at night and late sleeping in the morn ing. That a few family spata had occurred because of the neglect to heve some small things looked after such as aewlng buttons on pants, etc., which might easily have been done in the hours of wasted time. The club has been wonderfully successful with this problem by ad vising their members and friends to have an occasional game In some good home where a pleasant even ing can be passed surrounded by the proper atmosphere. Another very Important discovery was the finding by 'many mothers that their own little boys were smok ing cigarettes. All these boys had been told many times not to smoke, and had given their solemn promise not to do It. But force was brought to besr^on them by their larger as sociates and the seeing of growil ] ups, doctors, lawyers and others | very prominent in the town whom | NEXT WEEK IS REDFERN WEEK Jot tt down In your memory?It !? an event worth attending?and ' v ' t * j don't foil to come In some Ume dur ing Hie week.

And yon can now find ?try few boys on the atreetg picking up cigar and cigarette stamps. OAe other discovery made which was s surprise was that the town Is paying out more for shows than It Is for schools. 1N0 complaint was heard at the coat at shows, but much growling and kicking against taxee. It was conceded that an oc casional show of good movlog pic tures is not real harmful. But the great number of pictures of heinous men and beasts were making the wrong impressions upon the young minds of the town. The film trusts bad advertised thousands of scenes that had no foundation of truth in them?had organised .voting con ing contests, drawing contests and other thing? calculated to excite the mind and drift it from the thoughts of mors important and real things. Now only an occasion?^ show which Is strictly censored More it is allowed. The bi>f boanuof the film trusts have been removed from the prominent corners, especially the postoffice. and the picture'Show ha? been placcd behind the home, the church and the school. And much better results are seen in the tschool work. * ara only ^ k.which have been accomplished, s* there sre hundreds of things In ev ery town which may be Improved. And we have the faith in our wo men to believe that they will do their full duty. HAD CRAP GAME; EVERYBODY LOST Six Young Xeftro Boys Were Ar retted by t ho Police Yesterday. A "crap" game, of rather unusual nature, occurred on the gun club grounds yesterday. The "unusual" part of the game was that slthough there were, six participants, every one of them lost. The game was conducted by slXi young colored boys. They were hard at .It when two police officers arrived on the seen*. The officers had a hard time coralling the yotyigsters, but finally succeeded In landing all of them in court.

The Immediate alleged unlawful aet, the investigation of which Is asked, is in connection with Nchols' relations with a Arm of attorneys io Oklahoma, it being charged that these attorneys accepted pay for getting Nichols' case apepalpd to the Oklahonte Court of Appeals and made only a& Indifferent effort to effect the appeal.

On the way down the river, the Fostotlice" inspector was told of the many historical spots in Bath and he expressed a desire to see them for himself. According the So-l.ong was headed up Bath Creek and the pass of era disembarked when the to^n Vfc* reached.
