ALL OFFICERS FEDERAL According To OfilerB Issued By I'resldent (oolidge ,v Washington, May 21.?An order by President Coolidge authorizing the appointment of state, county and municipal police as federal prohibition agents was made public today at the treasury. It aroused immediate and bitter opposition in the aenate. Its constitutionality was attacked by both Republican and Democratic parties and the order itself was made the subject of a fiery assault on the president by Senator Bruce, Demo. c.rat, Maryland. -- ? J The order was dated at the Whito Home on May 8 and was issued i? the absence of Assistant Andrews, in charge of prohibition enforcement, upon whose recommendation it was drawn. While ready to take prompt advantage of the order, prohibition officers were not prepared to announce to what extent they would avail themselves of the authority to almost quadruple the strength of the enforcement army. It was indicated this would be left in large measure to local administrators. States which have laws prohibiting ^ their officers from serving the gov eminent would be exempt from the order and it was explained that in the others local officers Would be employed only by mutual consent and that the. '.'nominal compensation" provided probably would be only .$1 r. ; year, a government salary which came into vogue with the World war. Commissioner Jones explained that one purpose of the order would be to permit local officers to ignore city, county and state lines in pursuing dry law violators. Another, he said, was to bring about a partnership between the federal and local forces. A new tenement in New York has the first baby carnage garage.

C., May 24.?-Thrilled when his line was jerked by a big bass in Lake Juanita, near here, late yesterday, Terry E. Simms, Asheville real estate developer, nearly fell out of his boat in amazement, when a five young eagle plopped into the water near the fighting fish and tangled his >wings in the line. For fivd minutes he struggled with his two fighting prizes. By that time they were close enough to the boat for Simms' companion, I)r. A. F. Tool, of Asheville, to grasp the young eagle. The enraged bird severely cut the doctor's hands with his beak and. talons. They landed the fish, a six pound bass, and the eagle. Later they learned that a farmer on the shore had winged the eagle with a load of buckshot ju*t as the bass struck. < Today the bass was being mounted and the eagle, a bird of beautiful silver, white and black coloring, was in the care of a veternarian for his broken wing to be dressed.

Holder Tell What Cod's Grace Has Done For Him ' . An unusual incident that has recently occurred in this community, which may or may not be the proper theme for a newspaper story, but which has been creating no end of comment ami may do a wonderful amount of good by reason of some of its developments, is the conversion of John Holder, and the efforts that he is putting forth to atone for years of evil, says the Chester Reporter. At the Westsido Baptist church, Kev. A. t. Willi^, pastor, where a series of meetings is in progress, Mr. Holder made a remarkable statement lust Sunday night, which thrilled the house and impressed every hearer by reason of its very evident sincerity. The converted man went on to tell thut he hud been selling liquor for seven years, and he hud wanted to come to the Baldwin Mill and make hi first public statement in regard to his change of heart and life because it was there, ho figured, that he had done tho greatest amount of evil. Mr. Holder said that he had been acting as a sort of wholesale liquor dealer, and had been supplying retailers at ten dollars per gallon, and had sold an immense amount of the stuff all through this territory, Recently when he was a patient at the Chester Sanatorium, he says, Ije was visited by a member of a Chester church, who came in and told the sick man that he had been sent there by God to talk with him (Holder) about his soul. Mr. Holder says the thought struck him as a little Ridiculous, and he laughed and sneered at the idea. But when his visitor had gone and he got to thinking, what had been said in such an earnest and straightforward manner woulli not down, and he saw unfolded before him his evil life in full detail, and what would surely happen to him, unless he changed his ways. The consequence was he faced about, is resolved to change his ways and from now on live for God and righteousness. Mr. Holder's change was not effected, however, without a terrific struggle, and, after, he was first convicted of sin, while a patient in Charlotte he left the hospital to come clown to Chestet to see after a large shipment of liquor that he was to receive; but when his conversion was finally accomplished one of the things that he did to give evidence that he was right with God. was to pour this stuff?about thirty-five gallons? out. Two weeks ago- Mr. Holder presented himself at the First Baptist church, and when Dr. Moore extended the invitation he went forward and asked to be received as a candidate for baptism. He was most cordially received, and at the close of service was given a most htairty welcome. Mr. Holder has lived in and about j Chester for a number of years, and is well known to all. . This story of his conversion and what he is attempting to do is not written merely to fill space, or in a spirit of idle gossip; but because we believe sincerely that Jesus Christ will and does forgive men and women pof every degree of sinfulness, and in that hope the others will have the I manliness of John Holder and step forward and do what he has done. Mr. Holder says .he proposes to make his remaining days count for good, and there is every reason to believe that he is perfectly sincere and with the co-operation of the good people of Chester and community will make 'his life count from now on. There is evidence already that Mr. Holder's change of heart and life has had a profound effect on some of his former associates, and will affect others as the days go by.
