A SERMON ON LIQUOR. Judge J. E. Peurifoy Makes Scorch-1 ing Talk to Malefactors. Just before Judge J. E. Peurifoy sentenced eleven defendants yesterday afternoon, an attorney asked that the court rule again as to whether or not it is imperative that a chaingang sentence be imposed when defendants are convicted under the new prohibition law. The court ruled that lie could impose no other sentence and then added: "If I could do otherwise I would not." He then told the audience that in his opinion, when the law places chaingang stripes on a man for selling whiskey then the law has gone a long way in v < stamping out the whiskey traffic. The court made some very emphatic remarks in this connection and they were received with rapt attention. Judge Peurifoy said in part: "I am only soiry that in the present local instances we could not get the man higher up. Beyond doubt some of these defendants are merely tools and if we could have here' the man responsible for their dealing in liquor we would be able to more effectively stop the illicit sale of liquor in Spartanburg." The court said: "I feel sorry for the man buying this gallon-a-month whiskey, because I choose to attribute this to ignorance and probably because the citizen knows no better, but for the man selling liquor to boys and young men, 1 have the most absolute conteqipt and I feel that no pumsiujieuL is luu seveie iui mm. Judge Peurifoy pointed out that the laws of the State provide a greater punishment for the man stealing a cow from a citizen than it does for the wretch stealing the manhood, the constitution and the intelligence S from another citizen's son. The X court said that he could impose a . severe penalty for the theft of an animal, but for the theft of a boy's soul >the penalty is small. The court remarked that many of the countries now engaged in the foreign war had realized the benefits to t>e derived from the prohibition laws and said. "Present indications are that the greatest king this war will dethrone will be King Alcohol." He pointed out that Russian peasants had saved $2,000,000 in savings accounts since the war broke out. Judge Peurifoy said: "If we can rid the country of alcohol, it will be the greatest blessing this country ever knew; if we can rid South Carolina of alcohol, it will be the greatest blessing that South Carolina ever knew; if we can rid Spartanburg county of alcohol, it wiil be the greatest blessing that Spartanburg county ever knew." The court then closed tne remarKs Dy inantuug me county officials for the splendid work they had done in stamping out the illicit sale of liquor and concluded with the sentence: "I hope the officers will keep up their good work." ?Spartanburg Herald. WHAT CANADA HAS DONE. How Canadian ? Efficiency Met War Problems, During the two years following the opening of hostilities abroad, Canada^ raised an army of 340,250 men, declares Francis J. Dixie, in Popular Mechanics Magazine. This number vras recruited from among the 1,250,000 subjects, eligible for service, out of a total population of about 8,075,000. It fitted these men with the most modern equipment and established six large training camps in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec, where volunteers have been and are being rounded into shape. In July of this year the various provinces had sent 190,000 . troops to the aid of the allies and were drilling the remainder of its forces. The Canadian soldier receives the highest wages of any engaged in the present conflict. Privates are paid * -/% .?. /v _ j ?l. . 1? ?1 at tne rate 01 $1.1U a aay, wuue me maximum for a commanding officer amounts to $25 a day. Thirty-three thousand casualties have occurred among the 190,000 men sent overseas, in addition to a large number of maimed and permanently disabled fighters who have been returned. At the time of writing, Canada has raised $400,000,000 for carrying on the war and is understood to be on the verge of voting additional funds. The country has contributed liberally to relief funds; up to last April had supplied 48,000 horses for its own and England's cavalry and artillery, and has sent nearly 10,000 physicians, surgeons and nurses to the front. ^ Not Worrying.

Once a Merchant and Then a Reli-| gious Organizer. \ Probably the highest price ever paid for wheat was paid to "Pastor" [ Russell, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, who died on a Texas railway train a few days ago. He had a variety called "Miracle Wheat" which he sold for $1 a pound or $60 a bushel. It was advertised widely and it was claimed for it that it would yield five j 11I11CS US III UCU pel dCi e i.*' an.* uim-i wheat on the market. Tue proceeds of the sale were to go to Russell's I publication, the Watch Tower. Some of the newspapers took the matter up and Mr. Russell sued the Brooklyn Eagle for $100,000 damages for libel. Government experts I examined the wheat and reported it of inferior quality. The newspaper won the case. "Miracle Wheat" dropped out of the market. "Pastor" Russell had many money making schemes. When he was 2"> he was engaged in the men's furnishing business in Allegheny, Pa. He gave this up and began to edit a paper called the Watch Tower. Then he became a preacher a..d established churches all over the countrv, and although never ordained as a minis ter in any church but his own, managed to get a large following. His sermons were printed in newspapers all over the world as advertisements. In 1909 he went to Brooklyn ud established a tabernacle. It was a small building. The downstairs rooms were used for business offices and the upstairs for a preaching hall. Money flowed into his offices from all1 over the world. He soon had to enlarge his plant and built a seven story building in the rear of his old house and acquired several other; buildings in the neighborhood. He succeeded in making his magazine pay. In 1912 the annual report showed that he had received $169,243.23 but many of the sums were i nnt included in that total. He pub lished a book of which he sold 700,000 copies a year ever since 1886. In the last few years of his life he went in for photodramas and produced one "Creation," which was witnessed by more than 90,000,000 persons. Last July he was deported from Canada because he was hindering enlistments by his preaching. He had predicted the world would come to an end in 1914 and when the war broke out his followers considered that his prophecy had been fulfilled. Russell's publicity methods were those of the quack religious teacher. He gained a large following as any man who advertises may. He started out by abolishing hell. In the days when he started his mission that sort % of thing was good enough advertising for anyone.?Commerce and Finance. No More Pictures of Woman.
