INVESTIGATING DEATH OF
MAN FOUND IN EMPTY CAR
County offidal re today bolding
a court of Inquiry Shdeavorlng to
ascertain something concerning the
death of the man who was found
dead in an empty freight ear at
Atoke Monday It has been learned
that the old man was here last Sun-
day end that he was seen In com-
pany with one or two other men Also
some time during Sunday night three
pistol shots were heard In the vicin-
ity of where the freight car was
supposed to be standing In ths
freight yard of Durant Other evi-
dence Is working out that the
meeting end hie special
very effective
The subject for Inst evening was
'Weighed in the Devil's Scales' end
the text was a part of the 27th verse
of the Eth chapter of Daniel “Thou
art weighed In the balance and found
wanting" The sermon seemed as
though it was to each Individual
alone Bro Barker stated that
three was a standard to a Christian
life Juat at there was standard
measure and that we are always ao
particular to aee that everything we
sell or buy measure up to the stan-
dard that w ere not cheated and
do not cheat the other fellow and
that wa should bo Juat so particular
to seo that the scales were not over-
balanced when we went to measure
up to the standard of a Christian
“Are you -too light doe yor life
measure up ’ to the standard?" Of
courae this question Is for God an-
you to determine but God said "By
their fruit ye shall know them"
However If you are below the
standard there is a way to raise It
and that is on your kneea and
through prayer Flrat of all the
preacher aboold measure up to the
standard for the people are expect-
ing to be lead to Jesus through bl
and above all hia Influence ahon
be good He ebould set a good ex
ample and live a clean life
Mr Preacher are you setting t
good example and living a pur
dean lift for other folk to go by?
And then the Sunday school su
perintendent and Sunday rh'
teacher should aet good examples
for they come In touch with so many
people sod especially with the little
children and they have io much faith
and are so ready to believe the things

of congestion In the streets of Amer-

ous In this Connection the American
City states that 33 children n month
on nn average were killed In the
streets of New York city during 1910
Few blocks In the city have provision
for play apace Of tbe 15 play centers
planned by the Playground association
all but six remained closed because of
lack of funds It Is pointed out that
the policy of providing accommoda-

connection with rebuilding and the
construction of new buildings
