killed a negro boy, the will of Chris-

ty-five years by the city, is offered the
city in the will. If the property, val-

it will be sold by D. Ording, brother
of Christopher, who is named execu-
tor of the estate.
A bequest of *100 was provided for
Dr. C. M. Rosser, who set a broken;
arm for Mr. Ording and refused com-:
pensation, the will recites. Another j
like amount is left to “The John Wat-'
son, who built the Ellis street meet- i
ing house to be used by him as God

ganized the conference of railroad
valuation. They are to value the rail-
road property. solo, a prelude by Rachmanoff. Eu-
Rev. Maitland read for a lesson the
20th chapter of second Chronicles.
This chapter records the invasion of
Judah by Moab. We see here Judah
confronted with an allied force much
stronger than his own. Judah came
out more than victorious. May we not
seek the path he trod? We need the
victory here in this meeting and in
this city. There is a way to find it
.he same way that King Jehoshapha
found it
“There is a time in the life of every
man and of every church that we need
special help from God. It was just
such a time in the life of the Kingdom
of Judah. It is jus tsuch a time in
the life of this church and of this city
today. We need help now. No help is
in reach outside the plan of God in
your individual life. When this old
king saw he and his people were in
serious trouble he took the only road
that was open to a sane leader. He
set himself to seek God. It is not
an easy thing to be a Christian and
live the victorious life. It can be
done but it is not easy. He set him-
self to seek God. When Elisha aaked
that a double portion of the spirit of
Elijah might fall upon him, God said
you have asked a hard thing. Please
note that this king was at the head of
a great government and a very busy
man; but he found time to earnestly
seek God. Poor puny man or wo-
man in Marshall, so busy that they
cannot seek God, so busy that they
cannot come to church. Their chil-
dren are being trained away from
God and the church. Too busy, that’s
all.
“God is not bard to find. It is not
hard to get God’s attention, it is hard
to give God our attention. God does
not pull away from us, we have so
many things to pull us away from
Him. Business calls, pleasure calls,
all this and we answer, but when have
we heard the call of God?
“Next we see this King proclaiming
a fast, not a feast. Most of the things
the church puts on today are put on
with a banquet, a feast, if you please.
This man called a fast and prayed-
and confessed their utter helplessness.
“He called Gods attention to the
fact that they were decendants of
Abraham, the friend of God. Now if
this king could get help by his rela-
tion to the friend of God, what should
we be able to get now, seeing we are
related to the Son of God?
“He called God’s attention to His
ancient promise, namely, that if one
looked toward the Temple of God in
the city of Jerusalem, that God would
hear and help. May we not plead the
promises of God and get help Daniel
tried it and it held good. Jonah tried
it, with the same results, notwith-
stand he was in the gelly of a whale.
“The king simply turned the case i
over to God. That is what we will ,
have to do.” ,

In the annual inter-society declama-
tion and oratorical contests held at
the College of Marshall last Thurs-
day night, Miss Marjorie Hudson cf
the Erisophian Literary Society won
first place m the girl’s declamation,
and thus retained the cup for that
society. This makes four years that
the cup has been in possession of the
Erisophian and Miss Hudson has
won the cup for her society twice,
winning last year. Prior to that Miss
Ellen Vaughan had defeated all Philo
competition.
In the boys oratorical contest Will
Tom Bridges of Teneha succeeded in
doing what many Philomatheans had
failed to do in years gone by; he de-
feated his Sophie opponent in the
person, this year of T. H. Vaughan
of Marshall.
Bridge’s victory is remarkable, for
it is the first time the Philomath-
ean’s have been honored with an ora-
torical price since the day when Dow
Hubbard Herd, who has since won
fame at Baylor, defeated J. H. Davis
with his masterpiece “Robert E. Lee.”

State Department today by the
bassy is based on contention
American port authorities have
jurisdiction in international law
liquor brought into' American waters
as a part of the cargo.
Authority of America is extended
only to liquor intended for expor-
tation into the United States, and the
authorities have no right to take
liquor intended for other countries

It is believed that a way has been

Chicago, May 25.—Three year*
hence the employees of the Standard
Oil Company (Indiana) will be th*
largest single group of stockholders
collectively, and will own more stock
than any other individual or collective
group of stockholders of the company
if the employees patronize the stock
purchasing plan in the next three
years as they have in the last two.
This announcement was made today
by the company in commenting on the
result of the plan during th* two
years of its existence.
The announcement says that of the
37,000 stockholders, 10,000 are now
employees and have purchased stock
under the plan which provides that for
every dollar an employee puts up for
the purchase of stock the company
will add 60 cents to the employee’s
credit in the purchase, providing how-
ever, that no employee can purchase
more than an amount equal to 20 per-
cent of his salary.
As soon as an amoun; sufficient to
buy one share of stock is reached the
purchase is made and dividends to the
employee begin. • At the end of five
years all of the stock purchased in this
msnner is delivered to the employees
A few concrete examples of how
this plan works are interesting. Two
years ago an office boy earning *50
a month contributed *10 of this
monthly wage to purchasing stock.
Today he has nine shares and with
the small cash balance of *12.50 he
has to his credit *575. His net profit
Ft. Worth, May 25.—Three men

Bert Clark, 15 years old, stepson of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Falk of Weath-
erford. Railroad men estimated th*
railroad damage at more than *200,-
000.
The two telescoped engines had to
be burned apart with electric torches.
The condition of several of the vic-
tims who were taken to hospitals is
reported to be critical.
Forty-eight members of the senior

tion in common schools, Huffman bill

cessories. The Quinn bill to require
