The question has been asked, "In what way are Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets superior to pills?" Our answer is: They are easier and j more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be depended upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often followed by constipation. For j sale by J. E.

Notwithstanding an 1 Evangelist meeting at the Methodist 1 church and a popular entertainment 1 at the opera house, the spacious college auditorium was crowded with 1 an appreciative audience. The President, J.'W. Deliinger, of Cberryville, N. C. in a few well chosen sentences, bade the audience welcome to the exercises. The first on the programme was an oration by M. L Manney, of Cherryville, N. C. He spoke of the benign and elevating influences of home and its hallowed associations. The home is the conservator of Church and State. Given good homes and you have a prosperous Church and a well governed State. Given corrupt and badly managed homes and you find i small churches and a poorly governed State. Iq this world of strife and ! \ turmoil the home is like an oasis in j the desert, toward which men, when ; wearied and faint, turn themselves j ; j from the unsympathetic self seeking: ! J world of business to that rest and ; 1 smvpathy for which their souls thirst, j * Around one's hearthstone he finds ] that love and sympathy and cong:eui- i ality that points to the Father's ' home in heaven. At the conclusion of this oration j came the debate on the question, as 1 follows: ''Resolved, That the United States ' 1 should build and control the Nicara- j J j I guan Canal." The affirmative was opened by K. ! A. Price, of Priceville. S. C. He be- | gan by showing that the United States, since her incipiency as a nation, had believed that an isthmius canal would be of inestimable value to her commerce. She was looking forward to tbis when she signed the Claytor-Bulwer treaty, April 10, 1S50. England used tbis as a bar rier agaiDst the United States for a j long period, Thi9. however, was an- j nulled by the Haj-Pauncefcrte treaty j which was agreed upon the latter j part of the year 1899. The latter j treaty gave the United States liberty ; to construct such a canal whenever j 1 Congress saw fit. The speaker then j went on to show that the construction l of a canal of this sort would benefit ; the United States by giving a short- ! er route' to the markets of the east j and by forming an expeditious pas- I sage from the eastern to the western j waters that wash our shores. In no i ' ? I "1 c-n v Datcer way couiu me illiujcuoc cur | dIus that is sow in our national treas | ury be expended. The young giant j of the new world, to whom all things are possible, is waiting to tear the , two Americas apart whenever Congress gives the word. The isthmus j of Panama has clasped the throat of commerce between the eastern and j \ * western part of North America foi more than four hundred years. Let Congress giv9 the word and let the work be done. H. A. Kistler, of Eeedsville, N C, opened the negative side of the debate. The eastern markets, he said, would be of no benefit to us since cotton can now be produced there cheaper than it can be here. The surplus in the national treasury can be spent to a much better advantage by putting it to the improvement of our educational system. Besides, should a canal be built at all, the Panama route would be much the better and less expensive. It would be well nigh impossible to construct and maintain harbors at the extremities of the Nicaraguan route owing to the nature of soil in these localities. M. K Stirewalt, of New Market, Ya , closed for the affirmative. As to the cost of the two routes, that ^ considering rue engineer e guarauiccu cost of the Nicaragua!! and the past cost of the construction of about two-fifths of the Panama canal, the Nicaraguan would be by far the cheaper route. Besides this, there is doubt whether the Panama route could be bought at all. The stock of the present Panama Canal Co., is held by hundreds of private citizens of France, and it would be almost, if not altogether impossible to secure an unincumbered title to the property. We need the canal as a highway for our commerce and we need it as a means of defense. Let it be built and fortified. P. D. Pence, of Fortsville, Ya., closed for the negative. He said that we could not rely upon the estimated cost of this canal. The enormity of the pn ject renders it impossible to accurately hs the cost. This the most ardent supporters of the project admit. . At best it is taking a leap in Lhe dark. Even after it has been completed seismic disturbances may at any time render it worthless. 3tIore than this, we do not need the canal a3 a means of commerce. Our country extends from one ocean to the other. The products of our western slope may be shipped to the Orient while that of our eastern slope finds a ready and profitable market elsewhere. It this vast rmount of money is to be spent, let as expend it upon our mental and material advancement. Tne committee to decide this ques;ion, consisting of D. L. Russell, of :his city, S. S. Manney, of Cherryville, Si C, and Professor F. E. Sigman, }f this city. The decision was made by consultation and announced in :avor of the affirmative. The announcement was made by Mr. Russell in a pleasing and eloquent manner. Then came an oration by C. J. 3ox, of Columbia, S. C. His subject was "The Love of the Beautiful.*' Man has in hi3 heart an emotion that / is gratified only by an observance of S-Vio V\oo n f i-f 111 Tr> ofi-iirtf inn LUv ucauLiiui. jLta IUU tjucti uuuua of the universe the Great Architect bas in everything provided for this. j n i The world is full of beauty over us, beneath us and around about us. We see beauties in the heavens, in the deep end around us en every hand. God made these for man's admiration and gave him the faculty of admiring them. We should, therefore lose no opportunity of seeing the handwriting of God?the beautiful. "Freezing a Mother-in-law" was well rendered, and sent the audience away in transports of merriment. Throughout out the programme was interspersed with music rendered by the young ladies, and by no means unappreciated part of the exercise. Student. Gftfld fftr Sib en vri a.fi cm n WWW!

He had a rather stern, sharp manner which sometimes jarred a little on the nerves of the more timid. By and by he came to Brother B, a lay delegate. "Borther B , what is the spiritual condition of your church?" demanded the bishop briskly. ''I consider it good," said the brother. "What makes you think it is good?" went on the bishop. "Well, the people are religious. That is what makes me think so." "What do you call religious? Do they have family prayers?" nf f.hpm dn and snmo do not." ' Do you mean to say that a man may be a Christian and not held family prayer?" ' Yes, sir; 11hidk so." "Do you hold family prayer?" "Yes, sir," returned the brother very quietly. "And yet you think a man may be a Christian and not hold family prayer?" j "I have a brother who is a better man than I am who does not hold I family prayer." "What makes you think he is a better man than vou are?" "Everybody says so, and I know he is." "Why does not your brother, if he is such a good man, hold family prayer? thundered the Dishop. "He has no family," meekly answered the brother. -o- ? Suit Against Seaboard. The Charlotte Observer says that Col. D. A.
