-The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 7.1907. 35. B50U&ET02T BOASTS ; NEW 70BK S0CZET7. Ceclares That it is Festering Wart on Sociai Life of City and Country. New York, Aug. 1.?''You need regeneration in New York; you need some one who will tell you what you are; you need the old fashioned hell fire, gospel?that's your only salvation." The Rev. Dr. Len G. Broughton, pastor of the Atlanta, Ga., Tabernacle, who has come here to help save this city because he loves it, as most southerners do, opened a talk with the above quotation. He will tell any one who inquires just what he thinks New York is, and he will keep on tell5 - ing it. No on~ can get provoked at his denunciation, he says because every word is true. -Dr. Broughton is preaching at Tent Evangel, Broadway and 57th street and he is filling it at every service. His wit and epigrams remind his hearers of Sam Jones, although he is superior in force, education and argument. I)r. Broughton has wonderfully grasped conditions here in a few days, and is /rank to say just what he thinks is the matter with the wicked city. . Ha ftava: v* . , "I have visited Paris, Berlin and Viena, and studied conditions there. Paris is the wickedest city in the world, and New York is the next. There has been a growing Sabbath laxness. This year it is beyond bounds. V 'V . t "There need be no wonder at the crime wave after seeing the theatres wide open on Sunday. "To any man who values and believes in feminine modesty, the sighs in the streets and Broadway cafes and restaurants at night are terrific. There is a complete breaking down of the barriers between the sexes. "There is no modesty. There is an open flaunting depravity. The conversation one overhears in theatres and restaurants indicates the most brazen shamelessness. The drinking habits of women astound visitors to this city. "New York society is va festering sore. Its doings are exploited as bough they were the real thing socially. The ease with which a woman with wealth rehabilitates here elf after some wrong-doing, weakens the resistance ofhthers'who say to themselves: 'I've-got money; I'll plunge "These so-called society folk are foecreesences, warts, on the real social life of the city and country. "JCJjey are.ronen, iow, uepir?vcu ouu live only to swim in voluptuousness sad to tank-up. "What, would I do to stop all this? I would suggest'that the pulpits of New York preach the gospel in its purity, the literal word, the hell-fire gospel, the gospel of punishment of ' sins. "Another suggestion I would make would he to reform the police force. London is the best policed city in the worfd. Only Englishmen compose the force. "There's our lesson. Drive all the foreigners off the police force, Put Americans in command. Put only Americans on guard?sure enough Americans. Then the laws would be enforced. New York needs to study how to police itself. Visitors are \ shocked at the police laxity, impoliteness and inefficiency. To talk to a New York policeman is like talking with a bull yearling on the prairies." If the Baby is Cutting Teeth, ~ Be sure and use that old and well tried remedy, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, for children teething. Itsooth' ' "?

To the Editor of The Dispatch: We have been having a few nice showers, but not as wet as usual during the months of June and July. Mosquitoes have been outrageous; why, you can throw a pint cup around and catch a quart of them. A man told me a few days ago that back on one of the ranches these m osquitoes wiio#i a. mw. took off the bell, got on a stamp and rang it for the calf. The weather has been extremelyhot for the last ten days. The orange crop is not so good as it was last year on account of the long dry spell last winter and severe cold Christmas. Ou^ old Lexington friends, Jacob Kyzer and wife, are the proud pari, ents of twins, born July 14th instant. The little boy tips the scales at 9 % pounds, while his little sister weighs 8 % pounds. All are getting along nicely. Jake seems to think this a multiplying year for babies and?mosquitoes. Lexington friends, come down. This is a fine time to fish.

It is with pleasure that I give you this unsolicted' testimonial. About a year ago when I had a severe ease of measles I got caught out in a hard rain and the measles settled in my stomach and bowels.

A new use for potatoes.?Two patatoes grated together in a basin of warm water are far better than soap for washing delicate silk, flannel or woolen goods. , A hint for the cook.?If, when baking, the oven should get to hot, place a basin of cold water in it. This will cool the oven, and the steam which rises from the water will prevent the contents from burning. To remove oil stains from wood.? Mix pipeclay and water together till it forms a stiff paste, and spread it over the stain. If left till the next day and then carefully removed, all trace of the stain will have disappeared. To remove coffee stains. ? Rub thoroughly with pure, clean glycerine; this will remove stains caused by coffee from woolen and other materials. The place should be afterward well washed with lukewarm water and ironed on the wrong side till dry. To remove rust; ink and mildew marks from white garments, nothing is better than salt and lemon juice. Moisten the salt with the juice and spread over the stains, allow it to remain on for a short time, and, if necessary, repeat the process. Rinse well afterward in clear water. Endorsed by the County.

Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Better than Three Doctors "Three years ago we had three doctors with our little boy and everything that they could do seemed in vain. At last when all hope seemed to be gone we began using Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and in a few hours he began to improve. Today he is as healthy a child as parents conld wish for."?Mrs. B. J. Johnston, Linton, Miss. For sale by Kaafmann Drug Co. To Disfranchise Negroes. Atlanta, Ga., July 31.?The so-called negro disfranchisement bill was passed by the senate today by a vote of 37 to 6. The bill will go to the house for action Friday. The bill, which fol lows closely the Alabama law, provides that in order to vote a man must pay taxes on $500 worth of property, or be able to read and write a paragraph of the State or federal constitution, or he must be descended from a man who has fought in any war in which the United States or the Confederate States have been engaged, or he must have a proper conception of his duty to the State and the nation.
