It makes us sick at heart to see lit tle boys drinking coca cola and smok ing clgaretts. It is the first step to wards the drink habit. In my opinion, and leads to ruin If persisted In. Our people ought to read "Josla Allen's Wife" and learn that what Is right for "Thomas Jefferson' 'is r'ght for "Tirza-Ann". Society is all wrong which allows boys and young men to indulge in impure acts and would con demn the same in the girls. Boys ought to be kept from temptation and taught to be Pure and clean. The boys themselves would condemn any unclean practice in their sisters. The young women who receive attention from young men who are known to be vile, ought to know that they are look ed upon with suspicion by right think ing people. "Sow a thought and you reap an net. Sow an act and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny." Even If this life was the last of us It would be best to live pure and clean, but what about eternity. The proacher yesterday said it would be everlasting life or everlasting despair. "Eternity! where? Eternity where? - In Heaven or despair Eternity where? Eternity where? Oh! Eternity where? With loved ones In glory or With demons In despair. With one or the other Eternity where?" MOOT OLIVE. Mt. Olive.

IDeginnlng Thursday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, a combination of lawyers and doctors will mix gloves With an aggregation of bankers and cotton men, in a game of ball that both sides have been bragging about winning for a week. A process of elimination has reduced the number of aspirants to nine trusty artists on each side and the game Will be worth the mon. War in Jersey. The furor being raised over the an ti-alien Jap bill in California is a Hinnll thing beside the excitement cre ated by hostilities over in Jersey Sunday when the Davis family of dark persuasion became entangled with an other one of the same race and later on, with the police department of the city. Hostilities were begun early in tha day when Lidle Davis violated the peace treaties existing between her and one Jim Barksdale and made an assault, linguistic as well as physical, upon Jim. The noise and up-roar of this conflict became so thunderous as to attract the attention of others, Chief Bagwell and "Uncle Johnny" Langston, among them. Upon the ar rival of the police department and the asault which they nade upon the general enemy, the rest of the Davis family got into the row. Arrests were made by the policemen and a start was made for the guard house. Lldle Davis proved a stubborn captive and Po'iceman Langston urged her more thnn gently to make some haste. She objected and refused to go further. Hostilities began again. Emma, Da vis, the mother of Lidle, began an at tack upon Hie policemen and threw a brick at the chief, but missed him. Clarence Davis, who had been in the tow of the chief, brore loose and weilt for a brick also. Just as he raised It ?to throw, however, Chief Bagwell "klvveretV him with his pistol and Policeman I*anfeston interfered to pre vent a more seriou. tragedy. The ap pearance of the pistol had a cooling effect on the "whole crowd and they were easily brought on to town. They wore tried in Mayor's court this morn ing and Emma Davis was given a sen tence of $35 or 50 days, Lldle Davis was given $100 or sixty days and Clarence Davis $100 or sixty days. Clarence Barksdale, who evidently was not at fault, was liberated soon after his arrest. According to the articles of capitulation, all of them will take the days. ? * ? DIL W. II.
