(?dficfe?o* ?Metlisct. Dr. Joseph G. Gamp Coming to Our County. Several years ago Dr. Josepn Camp spoke in the Edgetield opera house under the Lyceum auspices. It wa? a very inclement night, and there was but a handful of people in the opei a house. Those who heard Dr. Camp were so impressed with his eloquence and scholarship that they wished, some of them, many times, that somewhere, it would be their good pleasure to hear him again. Dr. Camp bas been employed by the State W. C. T. U. as one of the campaign speakers for South Caro lina al considerable expense to the organization, and he will touch a few peints in our county as he en ters from Augusta. He will ? make an address at Clark's Hill on the 1st of September at the Woman's Missionary Union. On Friday night, the 3rd, Dr. Camp will speak ai Parksville, and we hope the people of the section will not fail to hear him, and give him a good and appreciative audi ence. Dr. Camp goes from Parks ville to Allendale, where he will make two Sunday addresses at the State W. C. T. U. convention. He will speak at the W. M. IL, of Ridge association, on the after noon of the 8th, and at Trenton the same night. Oh the 9th the W. C. T. U. of Batesbnrg expect to bold a very en thusiastic prohibition rally with music of children, poster parade and brass band, and Dr. Camp will make the address on this occasion. He will address an audience at Saluda on the lOtb, and at Aiken on Sunday evening, the 12th. The following are some of the testimonials of Dr. Camp: Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, one of the South's foremost pulpit o ru tors, said: "I have heard Joseph 6. Camp when his wonderful eloquence al most hypnotized me." William D. Upshaw, editor of the Golden Age, says: "For rich, radiant, ringing eloquence, I have rarely, if ever, heard the equal of Hon. Joseph G. Camp; and he has a golden heart as the dynamo of his eloquent tongue." In forty towns in Florida Hon. Joseph G. Camp, Georgia's great prohibition orator, did superb work, winning the people .often where other speakers had failed. I can hardly find words strong enough to voice our appreciation.-Mis? Min nie Neal, President Fla. W. C. T. U. Hon. Clark Howell, editor At lanta Constitution says: "I regard Joseph G. Camp the most finished orator in Georgia to-day." Woman's Missionary Union. In another cohuna will be found the program of the annual Wo man's Missionary Union which meets at Clark s Hill on the 31st of August and 1st of September. The participants in this program are for the most part, well known to all the women of our association, but there are two of whom special mention must be made. On the evening pro gram of August 31, ?i very great opportunity will be ours of hearing Dr. Pendleton Jones of Edgefield preach a missionary sermon. Dr. Jones loves this subject, and will charm every one who listens, so we hope that everyone who can possi bly do so will arrange before leav ing home, to stay for both days in order to hear Dr. Jones on the first ?vening. On the mecond afternoon. Dr. Jo seph G. Camp of Atlanta will make an address on prohibition, "South Carolina divorced and redeemed from liquor." For this occasion, ar rangements will be made for an open air meeting, beginning prompt ly at 3 o'clock, so that everybody can stay and hear the address, and reach home if necessary before night. Dr. Camp has the highest testimonials, and is engaged con tinuously on Chautauqua* and with 1 the lyceums, coming directly frcmr the north-west where he has been for two months to Clark's Hill es pecially to be with us on this aus picious occasion. The public and the citizens of surrounding commu nities are cordially invited to attend this meeting. Neuralgia Pains Stopped.

Over $700,000,000 is spent an nually in the United States for to? bacco. This is more than any other nation in the world consumes and ranks, close up to other notable in temperance performances of the American public. Previous to the discovery of America tobacco was unknown and it is altogether doubt ful if any industry in all the world's history has made such marvelous progress as that gained by the to bacco business. To add further to the situation figures indicate that the use of nico tine-making products as on the in crease, despite the fact that it may be quite rightly termed a luxury. Unless widespread attacks are made on its use the weed bids fair to usurp liquors in point of expend? ture, especially in view of the tact that prohibition is being so persist ently pushed to the forefront. The figures for the past year show that Americans, spent ?446,000,000 for cigars, 873,000,000 for cigar etts, ?157.000,000 for smoking and ?hewing tobacco, and ?24,000,000 for snuff. It is reported authentically that five times the quantity of cigarettes is used in the United States now as there was ten years ago, and the increase in domestic manufac tured cigaretteslalmost supplied the entire increase, the percentage of increase in a decade being 450 per cent. Chewing tobacco is just about holding its own, but cigars continue to show a rapid increase, but, of course, not so great as that of cig arettes. In the South Atlantic states the increase in growiug tobacco has bsen quite notable during the past two or three yean? and had not cot ton advanced to such a high figure some ten to fifteen years ago there is no doubt but that Georgia and Florida would ?ave been quite large growers. Under present conditions Georgia especially is expected to greatly increase tobacco acreage. Augusta. Chronicle. I IO ~-~~ Thirty-Six For 25-CenU.
