F Callier. of Cherokee, Ia., but Elestia 13.7 did it. He writes "My kidneys were so ki gc;;, I could not sit on a chair withool a cushion; and suffered from dreadful backache, headache, and depression. In Electric Bitters however, I found a cure, and by them was restored to perfec' heg!lh. I recommend this grea tonie ;iig go all with weali kidneys, liver or siosa. pp ar: anteeed by McMaster Co., O~eal Drug Co. and John. H. McMas yr Co., druggists; price 50e. next month?"

In a speech at an anti-dispe sasy meeting held in Greenvil s on the evening of June 13, Ho J .A. McCullough gave the folloi e lng six reasons for his opposi I the State's traffic in whiske tMr. McCullough says: e "There are six reasons why r i oppos the dispensary, or at other system of selling intoxica ing liquors as a beverage. 1 "1. It is condemned by its on y record. The church, the scho s and the saloon all started ' out c an equal basis. The church at the school are justified by the s works; the saloon has wroug] out its own condemnation. Ti t people first tried free liquo i they next tried license as a meai of regulation and repudiated tha s they next tried the dispensar; f and will soon repudiate that. TI sale of liquor has no one to blan: 1 for its downfall but itself. 9 "2. It lowers our ideals an a standards. It makes the sale < t liquor respectable, speculates o 1 the weaknesses and vices of tb 3 people, and degrades legislatio to the plane of our lower appE tites. r "3. It is based on a false finar r cial idea. The dispensary prc fits come from the pockets of or j own people and that, too, a clas ill able to afford it. We shoul , not take the bread from th mouths of the hungry and clothe from the back of the naked i .rder to run our public instiution The dispensary brings no mone; from outside the communitJ The only just way to make fund to meet the expenditure of gov i ernment is by legitimate exercis of the taxing power. "4. It is a failure as a prohit ition measure. The little goo< claimed for the system is due t its prohibitive features. But th r effort is to extend the sale by ad . vertising and pushing popula brands, guaranteeing a pure arti cle, and thereby increase the prc fits. In case of luxuries, unlik necessaries, the supply create the demand. Just as you cut o the supply the demand will cor respondingly decreatse. We do no claim that prohibition would at solutely prohibit. No law will d this, but we do believe that prc hibition will diminish the use an consumption of liquors, and t< that extent benefit society as wit ness the experience of those coun tries that have tried both prohibi tion and dispensary. "5. It is an enemy of goot governtent. Qood governmen see]ks to strenghteg~ itself b building up the individgal, tl< dispensary seek~s to drag hit down. Good government mean the overthrow of the dispensary the success of the dispensar; means the overthrow of goo< government. The governmen should be consistent. "6.. It isan enemy to the home The home is the unit of society th~e fou ndations of government and yat we have the gornmleu engaged in the suicidal policy o itself undermining its own foun dations, and itself poisoning it own fountain head. "Nothing that threatens th :home, demoralizes or pauperize; :its inmates, should receive th sanction of government. Sel iroegion, there fore, demand that it shod do all in 'its pqvge to exterminate the evil."

V- There never were a bettei ig people than the people of Souti y. Carolina. They have had bittei enemies and they have been oc. I casionally much maligned, bul ly when it comes to the highest t- grace of all the graces of loving kindness, they cannot be beater n this side of Heaven. Pardon my :l partiality,f or I really think so. . n Now all this sweet talk has a d purpose-it is a prelude to a ir suggestion to the people of this it generous State to set their gen ie erous hearts to a task before the r; summer vacation begins. And is it is about to begin just now. t; Have you thought of your r, little orphan brothers and sisters? e There are two hundred of them .e in the Prebyterian Orphanage at Clinton (Thornwell.) There are d two hundred. more at Greenwood, )f (Connie Maxwell,) there are near a ly that many at the Methodist e Orphanage (Epworth) at Co n lumbia. I know something of the con dition of these denominational - homes, for I have a standing wel - come at all of them, and who r ought to know them better than s I? I know that at this season of I the year they are always sorely e pressed for the necessities of life, s and this little love letter to my n brethren of the different denomi i. nations is to suggest that each y one of you send at once your check or a barrel of flouror rice, or s molasses, or even a sack of grits, to the orphanage you love best. 3 June and July are the best times to send just now. Everybody with a heart ought to feel it a I privilege to do it. At any of o these homes a nickel will give a e child a gsod meal and five dollars will board a child for a month. r There are six hundre4 of these - children in your thuIL3t orphan - ages. And that does not count e the Episcopal and Catholic homes s in Charleston or the /Charleston ' Orphan house, supported by the - city, or the colored industrial orphanages in Charleston and Columbia, run by those two good o colored men, Jenkins and Carroll, - who deserve the help and sympa I thy of the white people of this > State. And I do hope they will - not be forgotten. . - Now, sit down quickly, dear - friend, before you take your own vacation, and before you forget I it, and do something for the in t stitu~tion that you loye heat. 7' This is th~e esason when nearly Seerybpdy is fixing for a good 2 time. Your dear little brothers 3 and sisters at the orphanages ;ought to have a good time too. r Your friend and fellow citizen, W. P. Jacobs. t Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton, S. C.

That no permanent success was ever attained through triekery and subter fuge. That quality wins first, last and always, and that manufacturers pro duce different classes of Pianos. That there are some Pianos much better than others. That it is our policy never to mis represent anything, nor allow our sales men to do so. That we know that this is a good policy, because through strict attention to these methods, our business con tinues to grow rapidly. That it means a good deal to you to know in advance that the reputation of our line of pianos 'has been estab lished from 63 to &:1 years. That there is one in Columbia used at least forty years, and the town qual ity shows no evidence of going out of business.
