SCARCITY OF MEN CflUSESJGH BIDS Contractors Say Laborers and Teams Cannot Be Secured.

' Scarcity of labor and teams is the cause given by contractors for high bids submitted today on bridge improvements to the county commissioners. There were thirteen bidders on the twelve bridges to be repaired in Wayne county, most of which were damaged by spring floods. The bids were unusually high and the Veal bridge, Paddy bridge, Horace Miller bridge, E. M. Hoover bridge and the Burris bridge will not be constructed until lower bids have been submitted. Improvements being made on roads and buildings in this community has exhausted the supply of laboring men, the contractors said, when asked as to the reason why the bids were not lower. The following roads are being improved or made: Adjjn Bartel road, Richmond and Newport turnpike, Chas Minor road, National Road East improvement, as well as many city streets. The price of teams has gone up to $4.50 and $5.00 per day. The Ernest R. Cox road contract was let to A. T. Coggshall who submitted the lowest bid. The road is on the border line of Wayne and Randolph county. His bid was $7,830. Iola Lodge No. 53, K. of P., meet at K. of P. Temple at 7:30 tonight to attend funeral services of Brother Al Stanley.

"I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ever nlnce I have been keeping house and I consider it one of the best medicines I have ever used. My children have all used It and it works like a charm for colds and whooping cough In fact, I consider It good for any kind of a throat or lung trouble, and do not think any household complete without it," writes L. C. Haines, of Marbury, Ala. "i ou will look a good while before you find a better preparation than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for colds and wLoopiug cough in children. It contains no narcotic and is pleasant to take. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement) A DOG IN A GALE. Able to Keep His Feet Where a Man Would Be Blown Away. A gale that blows a man off his feet does not bother a dog at all. He will run about unconcernedly while his master walks with the greatest difficulty. This is -for. the same reason that a high building is more affected than a low one by a gale. It is alstf because the dog has four legs to support his body, while a man has only two. With topsails set a yacht would capsize in a gale which it would ride out with safety if only its lower sails were set, for the leverage exerted by the wind increases in proportion to the height at which the sails are set. A man by reason of his height receives far more force from the wind than does a dog. - Then, again, a dog's center of graT' Ity is much lower in proportion to his height than is a man's; consequently he is not nearly so Uppy. And it is obvious that any object supported on four legs is more stable than if supported, on . two. St Louis Post-Dis

Harvey Turner, inmate of the coun- i ty jail who was pardoned June IS by Governor Ralston, was not given his freedom until today.

Brooklyn ERCMACLE BIBLE3TU0Y?OC4 1 WOES, ANCIENT AND MODERN. Amos 6:1-8 June 22. "Beek good, and not evil, that ye mag linn." Arnot 3:11. IT is safe to say that everybody is seeking good, and not evil. Everybody is seeking pleasure, and not misery happiness, and not woe. The difficulty is that our iudgments are more or less perverted. Some have greater wisdom than others ; but there Is none perfect, "none righteous, no. not one." All come short of the glorious standard which iiod has set. The difficulty Is that we were all born in sin, and are all misshapen. Sot only our bodies are imperfect, but sur brains are unbalanced some one way. some another. Consequently young mH) and maidens, looking pHSSS forth from child- knowledge hood upon the problems of life, have various conceptions of happiness, and WISDOM LOVE make various retso- f&f lutions and.endeavrr rstHotiner the filHno nf thir fMin with blessings long life, riches, honor, etc. The teachers of our schools have a School ttacheri' opportunity for pood influence. most wonderful opportunity for influencing the course of humanity. We rejoice that they are striving nobly for the fulfilment of gracious, benevolent ideals, and are using their oppor tunities for blessing their pupils. Yet I evidently many of them have but a slight appreciation of their privileges. Some, of course, like the remainder of tae world, are selfish, and think of their work from the business standpointso much work, so much pay. The first and chief responsibility for children rests upon their parents, the majority of whom, no doubt, to some extent recognize that responsibility In God's sight and man's. But they labor under the difficulties of their own ignorance. They know not the proper course to take for themselves. Their lives have been a succession of blunders, and they presume that their children must blunder similarly. Not seeing the principles underlying life's experiences, they are unable to guide their children intelligently. Here teachers find their opportunity. But how little any one seems able to accomplish, and how discouraged philanthropists become! On the whole, however, a broad view of the past fifty years shows progress in many directions. Our cities are cleaner both physically and morally at least so far as outward appearances are concerned. No longer does vice flaunt itself in the face of society. The battle against intoxication and the social evil is making progress in that it has made former conditions impossible. In some states the progress has been more than in others. New Issues Now New Temptations. Our lesson tells of a time in the history of Israel when many of the nation's wisest and most brilliant people had settled down to ease and luxury self-gratification. They considered that they had won in the battle of life, and would now enjoy the fruits of their diligence. The Lord through the Prophet upbraided them, declaring He was not pleased with such a course. He told them that woes would result. The mission of Amos was to call attention to the fact that aggressive selfishness had accumulated great riches, that the wealthy were living in luxury, and that these conditions fostered pride and moral laxity amongst the wealthy; while the poor were being filled with avarice, losing respect for God, religion, truth and mercy. Society was on the edge of a volcano, and God declared that an eruption was at hand. Present Day Conditions Correspond. Our lesson is not inappropriate to onr times. Notwithstanding the progress made, notwithstanding the philanthropic sentiments of many. Inside and outside Christian denominations, nev ertheless there is danger. First of aH, let us consider the danger of the rich. The wealth of today reaches to a certain extent to the very humblest, and scatters blessings. But the bulk of the world's wealth is in the hands of the few. The inordinately rich are in great People had settled down to ease and self gratification. danger of injuring themselves. Some cannot devise means by which to consume even their incomes. Luxuries of every kind are tasted in hope of finding happiness. Not succeeding, they still pursue it. Wealth brings increased opportunity for sin in its various forms, including debauching. The influence upon the poor is notable. The latter seeking pleasure, imagine erroneously that the rich and indolent are finding it, while they themselves seek in vain. Thus the poor, surrounded by the wonderful blessings of our day, are often miserable, because their minds are discontented. They desire happiness, and believe that they can obtain it only through wealth. The result Is that their hearts are filling with anger, malice, and jealousy of the rich. Both rich and poor need to learn the treat lesson that pleasure lies, not In self-indulgence, but in self-sacrifice in service of others. God's Message to both classes is, "Seek righteousness, ek meekness." Zephaniah 2:3. If you have not perfect digestion, liver activity and bowel regularity. These should be
