In after years it asnaliy gives a married man a headache every time he hears another man whistling the ? wedding march. . If there is anything rotten in the management of the dispensary system of curtailing the nse of whiskey, we want it to come to the surface so that the evil can be remedied. How's This?

Business is being seriously affected. Q CURES WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS jl U Best Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. Ul U#I Use in time. Sold by druggists. El I??B??B?a? Figures Tell the Story. The gross Bales of the dispensary for the fiscal year endiDg November 30, 1904, sfaounted to $3,375,736 The population of S*mtb Cdtiolma according to tbe census of of 1900 was 1,340 316 D.vide the amount of whiskey sold by tbe population and you will find that the per capita drinking bill in South Carolina is $2 51. The per capita drinking bill in the United States as given by the American Grccer and quoted by Zion Herald is $18 33 or within a fraction of eight times as much as the per capita in our Scale. Ia the face of such proof as this we do not see bow any man can say that the dispensary is the worst solution of the whiskey question ever divised by man. The Abbeville Medium says, <4we used to hold our hand in whiskey drinking with the other States, but the dispensary law has made South Carolina an example of temperance." ' Fatal Collision.

Bishop, of Agnew, Mich., writes: "I have used Foley's Honey and Tar in three very severe cases of pneumonia with good results in every case." The Kaufmann Drug Co. Printing Office Investigation.

The findings of the committee will not be made public until after the president has bad opportunity to examine the report very carefully. CORRECT ATTIRE. Be Who Dresses In Good Taste Shows That He Respects Himself. When our country was in the log cabin stage of its growth correct dress was not held in high regard, and obviously so. The stout hearted pioneers were too busy hewing paths and blazing trails to cultivate life's finer side. Theirs was the rough work of field and camp, of hammer and saw. But times, men and manners have changed, and a new conception of <lress has sprung up. Young men especially recognize the direct relation of correct dress in business and social preferment The well dressed man carries his introduction with him*?he is master of himself and of the situation. He commands the respect of others because he shows that he respects himself. It is true that there are some men of wealth and position who slur their clothes and even some who reign to scorn the niceties of dress. The habits of a careless youth have left their imprint on such men, and it, is quite certain that their disdain of dress played no part in their success and detracts measurably from their enjoyment of it, for, after all, the ripest fruit of success is the esteem of one's felloes, and who can esteem the sloven? In talking to a man one's attention naturally roves to his clothes, his hair, his teeth and his finger nails. Dandruff on the shoulder, stains on the waistcoat and unshaven face, untidy hair, creases in the coat, a soiled collar, a mussed cravat, proclaim in trumpet tones that a man lacks the truest refinement ? respect of self.? Success. Mnlcinff It Ensy For nim. "The most difficult part of a pastor's duty," said a New York preacher, "is the pastoral calls. I have always re memDereu one 01 iue mat x e>ci iuauc, when I was a green youth just out of a theological seminary. I had been called to the bedside of a member of my church who was well known for his peculiarities and crankiness. After talking with him a few minutes I said: " 'Shall I offer a short prayer with you?' " 'Short or long. Use your own judgment,' said he. "More and more embarrassed, I hesitated, and then said, 'What shall I pray for?' " 'Exercise your own discretion as to selection of topics.' said he."

Baroness Rosen, wife of the new Russian ambassador, and the wife of Japanese Minister Takahira are close personal friends necesearily kept apart until a treaty of peace shall have been ratified. The baroness met Mrs. Takahira when her husband represented Russia in the Mikado's capifol.
