Wednesday, August 15, 1906. i Yss or 2To, Which? The whiskey business, in imperial tones, is now ordering men to worship at its shrine or pass under the smoke and fire of its denunciation. Because it has been, and is, seems the all sufficient reason for its continued reign. It is not of God nor for the betterment of men. It has no moral or religious claim upon men. There is in it nothing to lift up, but every thing to degrade and ruin. The twenty-eighth day of August is set for the men of South Carolina to prostrate themselves in the dust before it, or like Daniel, turn their face "nd n-nniTOTKl f/inTQTvIo f.Vl O r?f pj} - auu W n w* V*w V?V/ v^w V* ? ven. Men of Lexington, who shall we worship? Are we not nearly all members of some Christian chnrch? Are we not pledged to aid our fellow men to a better and a higher life? Shall we, on the twenty-eighth day of August, bow down and with our votes whorship the whiskey monster who is seeking our ruin? Shall we on that day with our votes contradict our most solemn religious vow? Is our religion a foul dream, and our churches entities, and the inscriptions on our farthers' tombstones in our church yards a deception? Is whiskey our god and confusion our end? Christian men of Lexington, rouse ye! Gird on your Christian Armour! Say to the whiskey monster, no! There is no better way of serving God and our country than by saying 4'yes" for the good and "no" for the bad, and standing by itl Let us not in this time of testing be traitors to our country and our God. Joab Edwards. The End of the World of troubles that robbed E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, la., of all usefulness, came when he began taking Electric Bitters.

Atlanta, Ga., August 8.?Special: Four long-term convicts stole a locomotive which was standing at the Milltown Lumber plant, pulled the throttle wide open and flew down the Milltown Air Line Railway at breakneck speed. As the convicts and locomotive dashed through the camp a volley was fired by the guards.' The Winchester bullets struck the engine and tender, but the convicts were unhurt. Pursuit was given on another locomotive by the guards, but the convicts had a long lead and were not overtaken. Ten miles from the camp the convicts abandoned the locomotive after cripling it and took. to the woods. Bloodhounds have been put on the track. The convicts were serving long terms for homicide.

Kelsey, was born April 19th, 1902, and departed this mortal life July 31st, 1906, thus making her short stay on earth but 5 years, 3 month and 12 days. Thus again we 3 3 J.1 L ^ * ?

Blanch was a loving and dutiful child, and the vacant seat at home will be looked upon by the sorrow stricken family only that God's will was theirs and that she was called to make another star in the shining link of Heaven. Little Blanch had been j suffering for about seven months and j only a short time before her death j blood poison set in to which she had to succumb. She had all the tender and most skilled treatment that loving parents and medical aid could render, but all proved of no avail, for death had already marked her as its victim. She leaves to mourn her early departure from time to eternity an affectionate and loving father and mother, four sisters and a host of relatives. Thera May, daughter of John F. and Lucia Belle Lowman, was born at Ballentine, Lexington county, S C. April 3, 1905, and died at same place June 30, 1906, age 1 year, 2 months 27 days.

Acute attacks of colic and diarrhoea come on without warning and prompt relief must be obtained. There is no necessity of incurring the expense of a physician's service in such cases if Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is at hand. A dose of this remedy will relieve the patient before a doctor could arrive. It has never been known to fail, even in the most severe and dangerous cases and no family should be without it.

In 1900 the capital invested in the Southern States, not including Missouri,amounted to ?967,701,865. In 1905 the capital invested in these States aggregated ?1,597,513,217. The value of manufactured products in these States in 1900 was ?1,237,589,667, and in 1905 ?1,787,776,794. The percentage of in-1 crease in the capital invested was 65; the percentage of increase in the value of products was 44.4. The percentage of increase in the capital invested in South Carolina was 80.8, and in the value of products in this State 48.8.. During the same period in the New England division the percentage of increase in capital was 24.2, and in the value of products 22.1. In the Middle division, including, of courser the most populous States of the Union, the percentage of increase in capial was 42, and in the value of products 29.7, and in the Trans-Mississippi division the percentage of increase of capital was 59.1, and in the value cf products 37.2. mhese statistics do not include the figures of hand trades and neighborhood industries, the rate of increase in which was equal to that for the factories alone. The value of all the manufactured products in the South in 1905 was close to $2,150,000,000. These figures are taken from the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, which keeps a very close eye on the industrial development of the South. We are making progress in the best direction, and it is most gratifying that in the Southern States, which have been most handicapped by political condition, the progress ha9 been _ -i-M. most noia uie.

Bouknight, have recently re turned from a two weeks7 visit to relatives in Arkansas. The father had the pleasure of seeing his son happily married to Miss Nellie McHnghes, a native of that State. The contracting parties met last winter when Mr. Bouknight visited his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Koon. The bride was not a relative of the groom, as has been represented. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Bouknight will move into their new home in Columbia in a few days. We wish for them every happiness and success desirable. Mr. G. L. Bouknight's brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Koon, are from Lexington Fork. They moved West about twenty-five years ago, where they are now doing well in this world's goods and have successfully brought up eight children. B. August 6, 1906.
