W. D. Wakefield Holds
Revival in Columbia
Evangelist W. D. Wakefield of
i : :ii _ Tr __ ! ?*
i^uuisvuie, ivy., is in v^oiumma mis
week for the purpose of holding revival
services at the Tabernacle Baptist
church, of which Rev. A. B. Kennedy
is pastor. The State says: "Mr.
Wakefield is too well known in Columbia
to need an introduction except
to strangers. The congregation of,
" the Tabernacle church are greatly
pleased at being able to secure Mr.
Wakefield to lead their meeting in
this time when there is need of strong
united efforts to bring the gospel to
our own people, multitudes of strangers
and the thousands of solaiers in
our midst. Good music and good singing
will be especial features."
Mr. Wakefield is a former pastor
of the First Baptist church of this
city and numbers of his congregation
will avail themselves of the pleasure
of hearing him preach while in Columbia.
Fine Band.
The 74 Regimental Band from
Camp Wadsworth was here Saturday;
and furnished splendid music on the
occasion of Dr. Beaven's speech.
This band is one of the very best
in the country and is composed of as
fine fellows as one could wish to meet.
They are, withal, very accommodating.
This was their second visit to
union. 1 ney are scneouied for another
visit, and we certainly feel sure
they will always meet a very hearty
reception on' the part of the Union
people. The music they render is superb,
and their behavior is excellent.
We hope they will come often and
stay as long as possible.
Calls Pastor of Full Time.
Padgett's Creek church has called
Rev. E. A. Fuller for every Sunday,
at # salary of $1,000, and will begin at
an early day to have service every
Sunday, with a teacher training class
led by the pastor every Saturday
night.
This historic old church has not
only made this forward movement in
the matter of having preaching every
Sunday, but they have recently remodeled
the interior of the church
and have put in modern and comfortable
pews, the pews alone costing a
thousand dollars.
Rev. Mr. Fuller has been pastor of
this church for several years, preaching
two Sundays each month. The
splendid forward move made by this
church is a tribute to the faithful and
efficient work being done by the pasV
tor.

Washington, Nov. 11.?Any person

in his possession after Nojmher
1">, and who does not have a
cense issued by the Federal governlent
showing the purpose for what
le explosives arc to be used, will be
t once arrested and fined up to $.r>,')0
or sent to prison for one year. If
le circumstances warrant, the per- :
in may be* fined $5,000 and in add-on
given the one year in prison.
This is the principal clause in a
ar measure passed by the last conress
which is now being put into
Tect by the Bureau of Mines, Deart

iau has been charged with its ensreement.
Francis S. Peabody, of
hicago, a well known coal operator
imiliar with the use of explosives,
irge amounts of which are used in 1
le coal mining industry, has been
ppointed by Secretary of the In- ,
;rior Lane to act as assistant to the ^
irector of the Bureau of Mines, Van
[. Manning, in the enforcement of
ie law. Under the law, the director
f the bureau is empowered to utilize <
tie services of all United States ofli- i
ers and all police officers of the (
tates, including the city police forces, 1
aunty sheriff's, deputies, constables, <
nd all officers in any way charged i
ith police duties. The police of the <
ities have already been organized for i
lis work, headed by a committee of
riiefs of police in the big cities, of :
hich Major R. W. Pullman, superin- 1
jndant of police of Washington, I).,
is chairman. The police are not
nly to look after the enforcement of
ie law, but are also to make thorugh
investigations of all dynamite
utruges and fires in factories and
arehouses, and to make their reorts
to the director of the bureau of '
lines. 5
Persons apprehended in plots to i
low up factories and bridges will be j
urned over to the authorities for |
rosecution under Federal or State
iws. Most States have specially seere
punishments for these crimes.
Tew York has an extreme penalty of
r> years imprisonment for the placig
of dynamite with intent to blow
p property. The penalty provided
i this Federal war measure is mere- i
7 to cover the illegal possession of
xplosives. (
The law provides that everyone
rho handles explosives must have a i
cense. The manufacturer, the im- ]
orter and the exporter must have lienses
issued by the Bureau of Mines i
l Washington. The seller of ex- ]
losives and the purchaser of exlosives
must also have licenses, these
> be issued generally by county
lerks, or other local officers who are
uthorized to administer oaths. There
rill be at least one licensing officer
i each county, and more agents will
e designated if the county is suficiently
large to warrant it. If a
Itate has laws providing for a system
f licensing persons manufacturing,
toring, selling or using explosives,

ffictels qualified to issue city e.xlosives

The purchaser of dynamite, in obtaining
a license, must state definitely
what the explosive is to be used
for and will be held accountable for
its use as stated and the return of any
explosives that may be left.
With the strict enforcement of this
law, the Federal authorities hope to
prevent explosives falling into the
hands of evilly-disposed persons and
to put a stop to all further dynamite
plots.
