Lee M. White in his Sunday eier.ing sermon, in which he continued a discussion of some existing conditions not con ducive to the moral uvliit of tiie com munity. The church was packed: even th" Sunday school room was almost fill ed. Uev. Mr. White, at I lis begin ning of his sermon, stated that poi hap.i many or his audience were pres ent only from curiosity, experteing scute sort of sensation, and he as sured them that they would not alto gether be disappointed. The sermon was not in the nature of a replv to the communication? f.om Chief of Police Griffin and Of ficer T. 11. Laney. which were print ed in Friday's issue of The Journal. was just simply a continuation or iTie previous Sunday night's sermon, but Kev. Mr. White did deviate oc casionally to make some remarks on events which had occurred in con nection with the first s?. i '.. n dudm the past week. During the course of his remarks, the liaptist minister said: I hnva no reply to make to that officer of our police force who stoop- ..! sit low as to call my informant n liiip i nin concerned only with the ,.ir,.i iini.nii of this ouestion; on tho influence of a gambling ring in mil in idst cannot be tolerated and will not be tolerated by the citizen:-, or this town. I knew to a moral cer tainty that this had been point; on; 1 knew that men had been carried home drunk from up there; 1 knew these men were good citizens, and one of them I know had never been drunk before. 1 care not what a man like the ex-chief or police says about such a matter. I don't con sider him a competent judge of the moral import or this issue. He ask ed me to give the names of these men. That's none of my business. I am not concerned with operations of the law. 1 preached that sermon last St.nday evening to tench those engaged in the gambling the hazard k of acquiring the nau-i oi gcuui something for nothing. I know this habit has ruined many a young man and destroyed the happiness of the home of many a happy couple. That sermon was preached for the benefit of those engaged in the gambling to warn them of the mark it would leave upon the character of every one of them, and not for the benefit or any officer or the law to give him the opportunity to criticise our wives and daughters who have been going to the Jackson Club rooms on business of the Woman's Club and other social matters for the betterment or the town; nor to give him the opportuni ty to advertise the fact that the city of Monroe dosen't pay its policemen a living wage. 1 want to say publicly I resent with all my soul the insinua tions about our wives and daughters going to the Club rooms. "He says he's ready lor the search light to be turned on. I beg to in form him it has already been turned on and several have been caught within the scope or its rays. 'Let me say rurther in regard to the Jackson Club and its members that what I have said about it has been In the spirit of true friendship, and not for the purpose of ngitating any court proceedings. I want this evil, which Is the most elemental of the vices men have acquired, stopped. "I have had great opportunity to observe the effects of gambling. Just a rew months ago a young man mov ed to this town with his wife and 18 months old baby. He was employed at a good salary. Hut he got mixed up with the wrong crowd, who gambl ed, not at the Jackson Club rooms, but at another place not more than two or three blocks rrom this church. He not only spent every month's salary at the gambling table, by the time he had earned it; but as a re sult of his conduct, his wire, who. let me say, was a well educated young ,; dv,. belonging to one or the best ranialies of our State, and baby went hungry for bread; and ir it hadn t been for the kindness of a Christian gentlemen, who Is a member or this church, his family would have been i.med out or their house. That young Tellow still owes that man for ..von) months' rent. He lost his job and went back to his people In disgrace! "Monroe Is the smallest place I have ever lived in; and consequently I know to a certainty when I say that rambling must not be tolerated In r hpantiful little city. What af reets one affects all. The Individuals or this community are like the sepa rate fingers or the hand, but joined tmrother 4n common Interests as the flneers to the hand. "I wish to point out a rew things that have grown out of this anair. "I am convinced that many young mon nnd others have yet to realize how to Invest the best possession r.nrt has Klven them their lire. ,"All or us will think long berore . invest our money, but how rew or us will consider how we may best lives. The returns on a well Invested lire are Tar more, yes n thousand times more, than on any nihur Investment we can make. The Investment of my lire Is the biggest business proposition I can undertake; and I am sure ir you will elve it serious thought, the biggest nn mil can tackle. The one bie thing about Jesus Christ to me is that he above all others before or after him knew how best to invest his life.

I have no apology for speaking out on this subject, lor 1 believe ir our churches stand for anything tney stand Tor the guarding of the lives of our children, the sanctity of our homes, and the moral education of the people or our town. When I know that some woman's heart has cried out in the night because her husband has been brought home drunk, and one home at least has been ruined by a gambling husband, and that some of the best young men in our town are forming pernicious habits learned at the gaming table. I will speak. I know the cry of that wife is echoed in your heart.. "I have spoken to protect your boy, to save your husband, and to warn those engaged in the game that men have a much better and more endur ing way to invest their lives." Saxiii!! Loan ami Trust 'o.

That sounds like a fancy from the Judge's brain WOMEN' SITPI.Y THK WIIISKKY Constable Lnitiliait Favors nit Ordi nance 01-11 Law Prohibition the IV mules from (Jetting Whiskey at the Express Of lice. Alter a thorough investigation Constable W. L. Karnhart has come to the conclusion that most or the blind tigers in Monroe and'l'nion county receive their whiskey through negro women. Numbers of negresses are seen at tne express ottice every nay waiting for their shipment to come in, after which, believes Mr. Karn hart. they turn it over to the men ror disposal. It is said that two thirds ot the liquor shipped into Mon roe is delivered to women. It is an easy matter, says Mr. Karn hart, lor a blind tiger to get a half dozen women to put in an order for a quart, which he retails as soon as it is received. The prohibiting of women receiving liquor would be a long step towards the eradication ot the evil, rurther states Mr. Karnhart. Similar conditions existed in Char lotte, as the following editorial from the Observer will show: "A year ago the colored preachers in Charlotte joined with their while friends in a petition to the board of aldermen asking for an ordinance prohibiting the delivery or whiskey at the express office to a woman of any kind, white or black. The ordi nance wns promptly passed and went Into effect overnight. It was de signed to correct an evil that had be come a scandal. The express office was daily crowded by negro women who would call for packages of whis key, and this whiskey they mainly supplied to blind tiger lines at fine profits on the original investment, though much or the stuff was taken to their homes, to the demoralization or family and neighborhood relations. The going into effect of this whole some law was immediately followed by beneficial results and an improve ment in dally conditions around the express office. The colored preach ers of Columbia are now seeking the Interest or the white people in that city in abating there the same kind or a nuisance that was suppressed In Charlotte. It may be easily done. The aldermen can put a rtop to it in an hour's time, and to the general profit or the community. They have only to copy the Charlotte law.
