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.

Captures Fish and Eagle.
Asheville, N. 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.

John,. 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.

MULE GETS IN BOG
Breaks Man's Leg By Biting When
He Conies to Rescue
Will Owens, tenant on the farm of
L. G. Harris near Inman, was lying
in a critical condition at his home
late last night, suffering from a
broken leg caused by a mule* bite
earlier in the day, it was understood.
According to information received
here, the mule had wandered into the
creek bed near Camp's bridge and
become embogged in some quick sand.
When its owner appeared on the
scene, nothing but the animal's head
was visible.
Mr. Owens immediately attempted
to get the mule out of the hole and
in doing so came -in con-tact with the
animal's head, so that it bit him on
the leg and refused to let go, it Is
said. Several men who happened to
be near came to his rescue and after
pulling the animal's ears and twist- (
ing its neck for about ten minutes,
succeeded in releasing the? stricken
man.
Medical assistance was immediately
procured, but the attending physician
fears that the wound has become in- '
fected.
After working with the animal -for
some time, the mule was liberated ?
! and was busily engaged in plowing
yesterday afternoon.? Spartanburg
