Fair Play, July 22.-(Delayed in transmission.)- "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," but, let me add, "Much work with some play makes Alice a joy-ready to raepond when asked, 4Where art ^ou ?' " The former clause is time honored ; the latter newly-made, but reasoning from Friday's experience, the writer believes just as true, if "'cause and effeot" still holds. The young ladies of the Jolly Girls' Club gave a picnic at Stab ling's mill to whioh they invited many of their friends from far and near. According to arrangements, the ?'olly party, chaperoned by Mrs. John >. Sheldon, left Fair Play at 10.80 n wagons, reaching the mill about 11.30. Afterspending a few honrs in boat riding and in seeing into the mechanism of the flour mill, the crowd seemed willing to treat the bountiful spread of delicious eata bles as appreciative friends and hun gry people alone know how to do. About 7 o'olook the reluotant crowd left for home, wishing the 44Jolly Girls" well. Jolly. Dyspepsia or Indigestion. The term "Dyspepsia" means a lack of pepsin in the stomach.

It is immaterial whether you call your ailment dyspepsia or indigestion when Ilydale's Stomach Tablet? are used. They aro guaranteed to oure all forms of stomaoh trouble.

The meeting which closed here last Tuesday night waa a great meet? ing in every way. The congrega tions were large and attentive, the preaching was most excellent, and the resalta aa good aa God could make them nnder the circumstances. Dr. W. J. Langston and V. I. Mas ters were with us the first few days, and did moat acceptable preaching. Brother M. ?. Parish, of Shelby, N. C., did the rest of the preaching. His sermons were elear, concise, logioal, forceful, biblioal and earnest. As a result, the church ia revived, with the exception of a very few members, who appear to be entirely indifferent. We are praying for them, that the Lord may put his Spirit upon them. As another re sult, last night I baptized eight into the fellowship of the ohurch. The meeting closed last Tuesday without giving an opportunity for member ship. The opportunity to make a publie profession waa given during the meeting and several utilized those opportunities. The door of the ohurch was opened yesterday, when eight joined and were baptized. -C. Ward law, in Baptist Courier, July 27. - Hard on tho Schools. [Greenville News.] Since Piokens county voted out the dispensary, thus depriving the schools of the main souroe of revenue, three principals and teaohers have resigned to go elsewhere and work. W. E. Dendy, in charge of the graded schools at Pickens, recently quit to accept a better position in Georgia. It was announced yester day that J. C. Daniel, principal of the Easley schools, had resigned to beoome principal of the graded school at Manning. He will leave on Monday for his new field of labor. O. D. Seay baa been named as his successor. The Easley Cotton Mill has just completed a handsome brick structure fe the pupils of the mill village. H. A. Douglas, of the Lib erty schools, has also resigned to ac cept work at Darlington. New Offices for Bluo Ridge. [ Anderson Mail, July 27th.] The Blue Ridge railroad has rented quarters in the D. C. Brown building on South Main street for the audit ing department of the road, which is to be moved from Greenville to Anderson on the first of August. A. ll. Wells, the auditor, was in the city to-day. He saya the r< . moval will be made the first of next week, and by the end of the week he will have everything straightened out and ready for the usual run of business. Several rooms on the second floor of the Brown building will be occupied, and it will be no small task to move everything and get it straightened out again. An Answering Silonoe. 4 --- young ladies with a fondness for infantile admirera should be warned by an episode at a seaside resort last summer. An engaging masculine of seven years became on exceedingly good terms with the belle of this particu lar hotel, a girl about twenty years his senior. One day the charmer asked the swain to go bathing, and after the bath, as they returned to their bathhouses, the small man sug gested a race to see who oould dress first. They entered the bathhouses, whioh adjoined, and in a short time a youthful treble called, "Miss Ethel, oh Miss Ethel, Pve got my stockings on." A low contralto answered, "Yes, Robbie, so have I.*' After a short pause tho irrepressi ble again called, "Miss Ethel, I've got my shoes on." Again came the answer, "Yes, dear, so have I." Again a pause-then a triumphant voioe shrilly proclaimed, "Miss Ethel, I've got my pants on." The answering silence- was oppres sive.-Hi R. Spenoer, in July Lip pi noott's.

We will be pleased to refer any one thus afflicted to many who now enjoy the blessing of health, after years of hopeless suffering. "I have a son that had brain fever when two years old, followed by fits of the worst type, and he was pronounced Incurable. I spent hundreds or dollars for him, without relief. After about fifteen years he became so bad that we aent bira to Longcliff hospital for the Insane, et Loga nsport. Ind.

Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind Shoots Man Over Note to Mother. Albany, Ga., July 24.-Joseph M. Oliver, a middle aged whit?? man, was shot and killed last night by Sheriff Denny, a young man 21 years of age. The tragedy ocourred at 7.30 o'clock at Beloit, a little station of the Albany and Northern railroad, in Lee county. The shooting waa said to be the result of a misunderstanding about a note which Denny had received about his mother. Oliver, Denny and Wealy Pye met on the railroad track last night and began to discuss the matter. Denny, it is alleged, invited Oliver to atop aside a few paces and settle the affair. When they stepped aside Denny drew bia re volver and ahot Oliver twice through the body, killing bim instantly. Denny was arrested last night and is in jail at Leesburg, oluvged with murder. Oliver's body waa brought to this city for interment. Oliver is survived by a wife and several small children. OAMTOAXA. Baa? tte _sf Th> KM Yott jjgl AlWiJS Bottjtt Signature tr Pesos Conference li Soon to Begin. V'a8bington, July 24.-The expectation hero is that the Russian*Japanese poaoe oonferenoe will begin in about ten days from this date. Baron Komura, the prin cipal Japanese plenipotentiary, will be East in a few daya, having arrived at Seattle with his party. Kogoro Takahira, the other plenipotentiary of Japan, is the Japanese minister here, and ia already I on the ground. Baron Bosen, the second of the Bussian plenipotentiaries, is now in this country at Manohester-by-the-Sea, ready to take up the work at any time, while M. Witte, the leading plenipotentiary, is now Axing to leave Bussia for the United States. He ia expected to land in New York about the last of thia month. About the 2d or ?kl of August the full Buaaian and Japanese delegations, consisting of various attaches, are to call on President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and then sail at onoe for Portsmouth to begin their du ties. The oonferenoe will open by Japan shuttling the cards and dealing. Bussia rill look at the cards and determine whether ahe can afford to go on with the game. That is, in a figurative senae, pre cisely what will happen, and a good poker player will take special interest in the discards, draws, antes, etc, Accord ing to the rules of the game Japan will propose the basic terms upon which she will make peace. The Bussian plenipo tentiaries know how far they are justi fied, under their instructions, in going, and it will be up to them to say whether they oan afford to continue the negotia tions. If thoy do continue it will be a foxy game from then on. Tho Japanese do not believe the Rus sians are tdncore, but the selection of both Boaen and Witte, mon liked by the Japanese, ia oonsldered an indication of the good intentions of Busala. The Japaneao look upon the whole thing .ta a play for time and believe the Russians will prolong the conference in the hope that the Russian army will gain a great victory over the Japanese.

"There was rejoicing in hell and sorrow in Heaven when Bishop Potter opened a subway saloon in New York," said Biahop Luther B. Wilaon, D. D., of Chattanooga, Tenn., recently, in addreeaing a thousand people at a meeting of the International Epworth League convention. The utter anoes created a great sensation for their very boldness. Following bia remarks the congregation broke into the wildest, applause. The Biahop waa apeaking on "The Legalized Saloon," and said: "A legalized aaloon ia a ahame to civil government and an insult to God. A sa loon ia the same whether it be situated in the darkness of an alleyway, where murderers and thieves may seek the com panionship to be fouud there, or upou the open atreet in sight of the multitude? tbat go by." The biahop pauaed for an instant, his ohoet heaved, and then, with a sweeping geature, he fairly shouted : "You can't oonaeorate damnation, you can't ohange hell. If there waa ever a time when all hell broke out in laughter, it was when this aaloon was opened with prayer and Christian songa. If there waa ever a time when all the angels in heaven wept it waa when thia damnable and gigantic sacrilege waa consum mated."-Philadelphia Ledger.

Glover, Jr., of Baltimore, successfully swam the lower rapids of the Niagara river from the American Bide of the whirl pool to Lewiston on July 17th. The distance of four miles was covered in twenty-six minutes by Glover. The Btart was made at 4.02 p. m. from Flatrock, which is on the American side. The swimmers did not venture in the upper rapids, where Capt. Webb lost his life. Both men wore life belts and in flated rubber rings around their neoks. From the start Glover took the lead. He entered the rapids about a minute ahead of Graham. Until the Devil's Hole was reaohed the swift current and roaring rapids had the swimmers in their grasp. At that point a swirling eddy oaught ! Glover and he was down nearly two minutes. His life belts saved him. Graham by this time had gained on Glover, and when the two men reaohed the end of the rapids just above the suspension bridge at Lewiston there was but a little dis tance between them. Swimming in the swift, smooth current was bard for Graham, but evidently easy for Glover. At 4.28 o'clock Glover was pulled up on the dook at Lewiston. He was dressed and about fifteen minutes later telling his story. Graham was taken to a hotel in a wagon and did not leave his bed until late in*the afternoon. Neither of the men was injured. otlmetate th* TORPID LIVER, stroagthen th? digestive organs, wgutote th? bowels, ?na ?rs un? ?tasto-a as aa ANTI-BILIOUS MEDICINE* tr?
