' ' ' 'fgm ' ? - ' ,-w ' . . p '. v- ' JM The Abbeville Press and ;BaMe?? BY W. W. & W. R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. C.. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8/ 1909. ESTABLISHED 1844 ,?| ! contributed!8 The Citadel of Life. b The stomach is the citadel of life. It is cj life's strong-hold. But if the gate ways are kept open, and if all sorts of poisons u are admitted, then the citadel is surrendered to the enemy. When the work of ^ destruction is accomplished, death claims ^ its victim. The first and most important a thing for each of us to do is to select the t healthiest and the purest of the foods. We should carefully avoid all those things in which disease and death are most likely to lurk. The great mass of our people treat their o{ stomachs as if they wore the proper re- jQ cepticals for every conceivable thing, ^ whether filthy or wholesome, whether poisonous or nutritious. And when poi- ^ sonous foods have been taken into the stomach we hasten off to a physician or to a drug store for other poifons to expel the ^ flist poison. We may poison ourselves by improper eating, and by t. disregard of the health rules. It has been said that a man is either a fool or a physician at forty. And it is well known that the physician to whom we run yy for prescriptions often Iedows very little, except what we tell him, and then he gueses at. a prescription, and you take chances at getting well or going to your grave. th A sufficiency of good food is of first im*\r.wfAnna orw< tKfl nart Imnnrfflnf thina for th pvi MfcUtO) UIIU VMV UVAV ilupv* W>uw VU...Q .V. you to do is to eat in proper quantities, W( chewing it well and swallowing1 it natur- i ally?not washing it down by any sort of W: fluid. , w* We all know how filthy a thing a hog Is. r( We all know, too, that lard is sometimes J made out of that unclean animal which ^6 may be diseased, and we all know that hog lard is sometimes sold to innocent ho buyers who are looking for neither poison mc nor unwholesome food. There is no law to .g^ protect us from the danger of buying and go using hog lard. en We all know that clean and healthful food cannot be made out of nastiness. But re] our people were a long time in finding out j that the whitest lard may not be a good fa' food, they 'were long in overcoming their prejudice against the purest and the j healthiest lard on earth?the lard that is mi made of cotton seed oil. That variety of 1 wesson cooking oil, and salad oil, is now ^ known far and wide as superior in value we and purity to every other form of lard. The manufacturers guarantee that it is ^ not contaminated by the least particle of ] hog lard. It is cheaper and healthier than toi nasty hog lard and is as pure as the olive oil, and is sold at the Abbeville Oil Mill at Qa prices far below the prices charged for the jot inferior prades of fats that are to be found M everywhere. The Wesson cooking oil is sold by the Abbeville Oil Mill at 10 cts, while the < hpg product is selling at 1G cents. And en if anybody wants olive oil, he can buy the er>' best salad oil at the Oil Mill at less than half the cost of the inferior olive oil. ] h- . J Fifty years ago the people of Abbeville in county threw away in their cotton seed a greater wealth than can now be in the jn richest of gold mines. The rotting seed of 3 fifty years ago, to which so much sickness se' was then charged is now found to be the ^ cleanest, the healthiest and cheapest food t that grows out of the ground. There of never was and never will be d cleanor or a healthier or a cheaper food than the pro- pc ducts of the cotton seed. The cotton seed pe that wouln make, kill or sick a cow ru now makes the most delicate and the (.u healthiest food for men, women and in- if fants. The value of the cotton seed is just th now being appreciated, and the demand 00 for Wesson cooking oil aione is so great ^ that much of the best of the seed is con- ru verted into that which is indispensable in cooking food for the strong and in pre- in( paring nurishment for the most delicate es child. ne . th at Th* Division of the Conference. {J / The subject of the division of the South 'i< Carolina Conference has. been discussed in ^ various quarters, and at first blush it fo would seem that there is a necessity for fl\ the change simply on the ground of the ac size of the body. e(j The division is opposed by a few because R< of the proposed division of the territory along a line from Georgia to North Caroli- ^ na by way of Columbia, thus making a m iow country and an up country conference. And, we believe, others think that objections could be obviated by running a line 1 sea to the mountains by way of Columbia. ^ It is suggested, too, that a Conference 0r Hali be built in Columbia, where the Con- cs forence would meet every year in that city; on the ground that as all of the dele- tjgates could be cared for in that city, the d< necessity for a division would no longer j11 exist. The objection to this plan is urged by p] others that the meetings of the Confer- la ence would be withdrawn from the small- ? i.i. . g er cities, and their wiihdfawal would, to f, ?ome extent, remove the Church from the p people. s The objections to the Conference meet- a ing in smaller ritie6 could be answered by u j,he plan , which even if not urged, is tl obliged to come, if the annual Conference ^ is to be forever held in any one city, and S( fhat is jn the (entertainment of the dele- t< gates or mpmbfjrs;of Conference. If the a annual meetings are necessarily held in nno nliu>A thft rvxnnlo r?rmlH nr>t af-jinrt t.ho qjinuai expenses incident to the entertain- ^ raent of delegates. They must then pay p their own board bills, even as do the Leg- * islative members of the General Assembly. If the .meetings of Conference are held, as now, in different cities, even if dele* gates would pay their board bills, as they ? would have to do in Columbia or elsewhere V if Conference met always in the same city, C the interests of the church would be con- . served. ^ If the meetings were held at long inter- j v^ls in different cities, even if the rule was j1 for each delegate to pay his board, a greater number would be invited to be- v ome guests of the citizens than could po ibly be the case if the Conference met i lie same city every year. If the Conference met earlier in the wee nd adjourned the latter part of the sani eek, the cost of food and lodging woul e greatly reduced. With a shorter term that did not ir lude Sunday, a greater number of citi ms would desire the privilege of entei lining a greater number of guests. If some guests, arrive a day or two be >re the meeting of Conference, and i iflv. or others, remain over a, dav or tw< t >r adjournment of Conference, the en irtainment is sometimes more than evei snerous hosts are able to undertake. We would be sorry to see the plan of th< eetings of Conference changed so tha bbeville would never have the pleasuri having it meet with us. . Our peopli ve the Methodist preachers and woul( i glad to have them come again. If the preachers mingle with the pcopl< iey become better acquainted and this, i r no other reason, is an objection t( iving the Conference meet ovory year ii e same city.

Carriages and conveyances were in adiness to take the bridal partt and latives to the villiage church which was owded to its utmost capacity ana was quisitly decorated under the supervision Miss Jennie Cowan, the brides aunt.

C., Dec. 6th, 1909. 3 Editor Press and Banner: ' The nhnir /if thA Mflt.lmHisf. F.niw.nnal )! church here is making elaborate prepara j tion for line music on Conference Sunday, - December 12th. Rehearsals have been f going on tri-weekly for several weeks past 3 and several beautiful voices have been ini vited from other cities to join the choir to enhance the melody and harmony with r their melodious voices and artistic tem perament. The following are short sketches of some of the singers invited: [ Miss Lenore Neville Long, Colorature i Soprano, is almost too well known in Abbe ville to need an introduction. Suffice it to j say, she has a highly-cultivated voice of i bird-like quality, with an unusual range. ' and adapted to trills and runs with unusual flexibility, bordering on the artistic; with ' a striking personality and individuality of temperament, she captivates and her beau. tiful voice thrills. She has on several oc. casions before charmed the congregations and the society of this community. Miss Mary E. Chreitzberg, Contralto Soloist, is one of the vocal teachers of Converse College, Spartanburg, S. C., and has a reputation second to none in South Carolina as a vocalist, with a full, round and , rich voice of power and deep range, so un- 1 common amongst altos generally. This is 1 her first visit with us and she is thrice welcome ; (besides, her father, a Methodist minister himself, was once offered this station. j Dr. W. E. Oakes, Tenor Soloist, of New 1 York, has also promised to sing with us, and we are all looking forward to his com- { ing. He is not only a charming and high- 1 toned gentleman, but possesses a most beautiful tenor voice of The lyric type, ' highly cultivated, and sings with the most ! sympathetic expression and inspiration. 1 Yve have heard him before and want to hear him again. ' Mr. Wm. Gayer Locke of Charleston has also been invited, but we are not quite cer- * tain if he can respond. He is considered ] the finest dramatio Tenor in South Carolina, and has always held the highest sal- , aried church positions in this State, having i served St. Michaels and Grace churches in 1 Charleston for several years. His voice is , beautiful and his musical culture beyond l conception, and he is also the highest type of a gentleman. He also charms and captivates when he sings, and we only hope [ he can come. ; Mr. Henry R. Laney of Monroe, N. C., is 1 foir-lir wnll lrnnwn havinc sunc at the , church on one or two occasions/ Efis voice } Is a rich Baritone of the mellow type. He sings with ease and great expression, and , belongs to a noted choir that singrs in the ^ Methodist church in Monroe?himself a a most charming gentleman, who expects } to be with us on next Sunday. Prof. Huguelet, the organist and choir- , master, who is an indefatigable worker, ' deserves the greatest praise and credit for what he has already done towards rehearsing the choir, arranging the program for 1 the choir and order of worship for the , church, and extending invitations to promi- i, nent singers. He promises to give the Conference two grand services next Sunday. His church musical triumphs are notable in Charleston, where some years t ago he directed the great Vanderbilt Asso- ? elation services at Bethel and Trinity M.

I 1 ? * ; i ARE MICROBES III YOUR SCALP? ' . 1 ..... ^ 1 It Has Been Proved that Microbes Cause i Baldness. f Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading French . dermatologist, discovered that a microbe 1 causes baldness. Their theory -has time ( and again been amply verified through re- 1 search experiments carried on under the 1 observation of eminent scientists. This 1 microbe lodges in the Sebum, which is the 1 natural hafr oil, and when permitted to ( flourish it destroys the hair follicles and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp ? gradually takes on a shiny appearance. 1 When this happens there is no hope of the growth of hair being revived. Dandruff is a contagious disease, which 1 is largely due to a destructive microbe, which when left to pursue its course causes * itching scalp, falling hair and baldness. 1 Dandruff is caused by the microbe affect- J ing the glands which produce the sebaceous matter, which latter then unnaturally dries J up and scales off. { We have a remedy which will, we honest- * ly believe, remove dandruff, exterminate j the microbe, promote good circulation in 1 the scalp and around the hair roots, tighten and revitalize the hair roots and over come baldness, so long as there is any life < left in the hair roots. We back up this statement with our own 1 personal guarantee that this remedy called Eexall "93" Hair Tonic will be supplied free \ of all cost to the user i,f Jt Jails to do as we ' state. < It will frequently restore gray and faded . hair to its. original color, providing loss of 1 color has bee? caused by disease; yet it is in no sense a dye- Kexall "93v Hair Tonic accomplishes t^nese results by making ev- I exy I. air root, follicle and pigment gland strong and active, and by stimulating a 1 natrra flow of coloring pigment through^ 1 . 1^'air cdls. \ 'W Hair Tonic is entirely free fro.m grease oj: sediment, is exceedingly ' Sileasant to use and will not gum the hair ! y permanently soil the clothing or pillows.
