FAMILY PRAYER. Rev. L. M. Lyda Preaches, Talks and Prac tices lt-"Th? Watcher" D?tends Mr. Lyda. Montvale, N. C., September 2.-KditorB Courier: I notice a write-up from Little River in Tbo Courier of August 80tb, signed "lt. A.," stating that I, L. M. Lyda, visited in tho homo of a certain good citizen tn that section recently and when asked to bavo family prayer re plied, "lt has gone out of fashion for preachers to have family prayer when they call on their members." 1 am sorry to Bay that tho family altar is almost a thing of the past. Very few parents call their children around tho altar and road aud pray before they re tire for the night. I behove in having family prayers Twice each dny we live here in this great world of sin and temptation. How strong it makes ns, and brings us in closor touch with Cod and all that is good and pure. Yes, I bo lieve in reading (tod's Word and asking Him for His protection each night and morning. We cannot afford to leave off this blessed prayer service. Ob, for tho family altars to bo re-established in cverv home in all this great land ! What a power it would be for good, and how much more power wo would have with men to bring them to Christ! A child that has been raised in a home where family prayers wore mado carries with it a blessed memory that it no ver forgot?. I have written this tbat tho readers of the Keowee Courier may know that I do believe in family prayer. I preach it, talk it and practice it So I hope that "13. A." will not misunderstand me in regard to my belief in family prayer. I think a man should know what he is saying when he writes for a paper, especially when he writes in regard to a man's be lief in and practice of the christ-lifo. With best wishes and kindest regards to the editors and readers of The Courior, I am Yours in bonds of Christian love, L. M. Lyda. Salem, September 4.-Editors Courier: When I opened your weekly visitor of last week I noticed an article headed, "Items from Little Uiver," stating that the Kev. L, M. Lyda, of North Carolina, visited in the homo of a certain good citizen in this community recently and when asked to hold family prayer repled, "It has gone out of fashion for preachers to have family prayer whoa they call on their members." Now, I know L. M. Lyda and have been with him along in tho work and I have never known bim ti? refuse to offi ciate at the sacred altar when and wher ever called upon. I don't accuse "H. A." of exaggeration, but, knowing Mr. Lyda as I do, I ask "H. A." to conlirm his statement, for this is hurtful to a man's reputation. Hut if ho (Mr. Lyda) has reached up to this ho has surely do parted from Ins former method. How ever, if be is guilty he ought to ho con demned. "H. A." goes on to say that Mr. Lyda told the truth-that real prayer baa gone out of fashion. I believe myself that Cod gets more lip service than heart ser vice. The Watcher. Dr. Finn's Testimony Interesting. Dr. Thomas Finn, of Hoonsboro, Mo., who has practiced medicine for 82 years, sayB he bas used every prescription known to the profession for treatment of kidney and bladder diseases, and says he has never fouud anything so effective in both chronic and acute kidney and bladder trouble as Foley's Kidney Cure. lt stops irregularities aud builds up tho whole system. J. W. Bell. Newberry Will Have Contest. Columbia, September 1.-From a point raised before Governor Heyward this morning by F. H. Dominick, an attorney at Newberry, it is evident that there will probably be a contest over the recent dispensary election in which Newberry went dry. Last night application waa made to the Governor for his signature on a commis sion to Dispenser .'. H. Chappell. Chap pell's term oxpiies to night and tho hoard has re-elected him dispenser. The situation was rather a peculiar one. Governor Hey ward know unofficially that the dispensary had been voted out in that county, or at least until possible legal questions were raised, and sup posed it had. Ho took tho ground, therefore, that tho law provided that a dispenser shuuld bold office until his successor should qualify or be appointed and that it was not necessary for a com mission to he issued to Chappell again tinder the condition existing in New berry. Chappell, under tho law, can still hold the office, as there is no suc cessor, Mid the signing of a law as con strued hy the Attorney General is simply a ministerial duty placed upon tho G . emor by the law regarding dispensary commissions. The law in regard to other offices is Slightly different. The fact, however, that this poiid was raised in Newberry seems to indicate that them will he a tight over the recent election, and tho attorney interested stated tu the Gov ernor that Chappell did not like to pro coed without his Commission, The Gov ernor assured him that should there be criminal prosecution because of tho lack of the commission the dispenser would he protected. .lust what lines will he taken hy the Newberry dispensary people cannot he stated yet, but it is presumed that the validity of some of the signatures on the petition will ho questioned as was dono iii other counties. Bean the /f The Kind You Haye Always Bought Signature Tribut? from Pulpit to th? President. New York, September 8.-Kev. Donald Sage Mackay, pastor of tbe Fifth Avenue Collegiate church, during the course of 1 his sermon to-day took occasiou to pay a tribute to President Roosevelt, ?ho for thirty years bsB been a member of this Dutch Roformed congregation. Dr. Mackay said: "inasmuch as our President, Theodore Roosevelt, made a profession of his faith in this church thirty years ago and hps boen ever sinco a loyal member, it seems only ilttiug that here this morniug we record nor profouud appreciation v f the signal service which he has rendored to tho whole civilized world, hy his master ful and unwearied efforts to secure peace botween Russia and Japan. "Not only in the magnificent work, consummated last weok, has President Roosevelt added enduring lustre to bis own nan e, but he has also given a new inilueuce to Aroerica as the arbiter of peace in tho councils of the nations. "The President's splendid service will be but half achieved, if it is not recog nized by all tho great powers as a means of bringiug about an alliance that will safeguard the interests of peace aud ChriBtiau civilization in the Far East for many vears." Landrum Snaps st the Governor. Spartanburg, ?September 1.-The fol lowing is a copy of a letter written to tho Governor by B. (?. Landrum to night: "In reply to yours of AugUBt 31st, in which you state that you have no au thority to accept my resignation as chair man of the county board of control, and in which you further suggest that the resignation be sent to the State Board of Control, I beg to Ray that I received my commission duly signed and sealed from you, and I recognize no ono but you in tendering my resignation. "Why your view of the matter doesn't warrant you in accepting a resignation of a commission which you as the execu tive have power to issue or to revoke, is a proposition that ?8 too puzzling for me. "I do not consider tho State board worthy of passing on tho matter, beaides not one of the member's nam 's appears on the commission, mid to you alone 1 have directed my letter. If you do not accept the resigna; i< u the matter stands as it is. I will have nothing whatever to do with the county or State board in any Hhape, form or fashion hereafter. "1 feel that I have done my entire duty ami 1 must confess u Hiirpri.se at the the milk and water policy you seem to have adopted in a matter in which tho people of the largest white voting county iu the State are so vitally interested. "B. G. Landrum." </>_P1SO!S 'CUB E FOR ? cn ri CM. CONSUMPTION ? Where the Dispensary Money Goes. If those who seem to think that the schools are supportod in a very great measuro by the dispensary funds will just stop to consider that the bulk of the j profits of the dispensary is divided be tween tho town and county in which a I dispensary is located, they will see that a very small proportion of the profits go to the schools. And if any one objects to paying the small amount necessary to keep the schools open the same length of time after the dispensary is voted out let them in vest in a hen and she will pay it for him in chickens and eggs and leave him a good profit besides.-Kershaw Era. Greenville Will Invite Them. Greenville, September 8.-The direc tors of the Piedmont Fair Association have fixed the date of the first annual fair on October 24, to continue through the week. Mayor Mahon, who is also president of the Fair Association, said to-night that the Confederate Veterans would be invited to hold the annual re union at tho Bunio time. The old soldiers are anxious to hold their customary meeting, hut as yet no city has extended them an invitation. FIFTY CENTS IN some conditions the ? gain from thc usc of Scott's Emulsion is very rapid. For this reason we put up a fifty-cent size, which is enough for an ordinary cough or cold or useful as a trial for babies and children. In other conditions the gain is slower -health cannot be built up in a day. In such cases Scott's Emulsion must be taken as nourishment; a food rather than a medicine. lt's a food for tired and weak digestions. Send tor tree 5?mpla Scott & Bowne, 4<HMW P??I J?.

Your Life Current. The power that gives yon life and motion is the nerve force, or ner ve fluid, located in thc nerve cells of thc brain, ami sent out through thc nerves to thc various organs. If you arc tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, peri odical pains, indigestion, dys pepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak.

It feeds the nerves.produccs nerve force, and restores vitality. "When I bogan taking- Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Antl-Paln Pills I was confined to my bed. I hud severe nervous spells, the result of two yours illness with malaria. I gradually grew so weak that I waa unable to sit, up. The spells would commence with cold chills, and I would become weak and almost help less. My circulation was poor. I had doctored right along but grew weaker and weaker.

The people voted for prohibition in 1802, and did not get it. They voted for biennial sessions three years ago, and it looks like they are not going to get it. They aro voting foi prohibition in seve ral counties now, and tho dispensary crowd are calling on the court* lo pre vent their getting that.

Washington, September 8.- Pub lic Printer Palmer has practically been ousted from office. It was learned authoritatively last night that President Roosevelt had de manded Mr. Palmer's resignation to take effect on the loth instant. The demand of the President for Mr. Palmer's resignation was due primarily to tho latter's action in trying to force ()Hoar .J. Ricketts and L. C. Hay out of the government printing ofliee. Mr. Palmer asked for tho resignations of Ricketts and Hay on tho ground thai they had been insubordinate. The public printer formulated charges against the two men. These charges, it was known, were forwarded to Oyster Ray. Atlanta's yellow fever patient has died.
