JHt UNION REPUBLICAN MEETING. f JOHN CAPERS STILL 8EEM8 TO HAVE POWER-DEA8 ELECTED CHAIRMAN. Columbia, August 9.-The Repub lican Convention, styling itself (<the Union Republican Convention of South Carolina," which has been in session here all day and most of the half of the night, adopted an impor tant mle with regard to registration, the intention being to do everything possible to enoourage registration so aa to increase the number of quali fied eieotors for the general elections. J?^The Democrats have not gone so ^Pnr yet ae to require registration for the primaries. The convention's new rule forbids participation in any of the oonnoils of the party from pre cincts meeting up to the State and district convention of any but those who are registered or who have made a bona fide effort to get registered. The rule, in ' addition to this, re quires the county chairmen through out the State to see that the rank and file make application to register. The leaders do not accept all the legal restrictions in the matter of registration; most anything that ap plies will be considered entitled to register and will be entered accord ingly in the list of those qualified to I* take part in the councils of the party. This move was recommended by rt John G. Capers. W The only genuine clash in the Con vention to-day was between the fac tion headed by ex-District Attorney John G. Cap?is, of Greenville, who as the State referee, controls the out put of pie and the distribution thereof, and District Attorney Earnest F. Cochran, of Anderson, who sucoeeded Mr. Capers as District Attorney. Ai. o r much fie ii/.icd oratory, wire pulling aud rough house stunts of various kinds, the matter was brought to a vote and the Capers man, E. ET, Deas, won out 88 to 2C. The Cochran faction put up John Ii. Tolbert, and when he was beat Capers in the interest of good feel ing, nominated bis son, John R. Tol bert, Jr., for vice-chairman, and this was ?ocppted. W. F. Myers was made scoretary. Mr. Capers was re elected chairman of the resolution and platform committee, T. L. Grant, chairman of the rules committee^ and Dr. J. W. Levy, chairman of the OOinmittee on credentials. Robert Stewart nominated Deas ' and thiB was seconded hy Grant and , C^per?, while Parish Simpkins nomi-1 nated "Red Man" Tolbert. An exe-1 cut ive committee of three from each I Congressional District and four at large, was named with Deas as chair man and W. F. Myers as seorotary. I A. C. Merrick was elected county chairman for Oconee to see after the record and registration soheme. No State tioket will be put out by the party this year. The con lent over a delegation was that from Charleston, between tbe faotions headed by J. P. Seabrook T. L. Grant. Grant's faction was seated. tb Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold. A. J. Nusbaum, Bateuville, Indiana, I writes: "Last year I sufferod for three months with a summer cold so distress- ! lng that it interferred with my business. I had many symptoms of hay fever, a..d a doctor's proscription did not reach my ca HO, and I took sevoral mcMioinea which seemed to only aggravate my ease. For tunately I insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar and it quiokly c u rod me. My wife ha? since used Foley's Honey ?nd Tar with the same sucoesB." k Dr. J. W. Bell. Death from Cigar Burn.

Baan th* _/f TM Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of Flood Damage In Texas Great. x Fort Worth, Texas, August 8.-~ Reports from the floods in the Terri tories indicate that the damage will be great, conservative estimates plac ing the loss at $1,000,000, suffered mostly by the railroads. gt The Fork Shoals Cotton Mills Co., has increased capital from $00,000 to $100,000 to enlarge the capacity of thc plant. Member? Wh? Ar? Not Mombon. It seems to me that io the ordi nary Methodist congregation to-day not more than half the names on the roll represent real workers. It is often difficult to estimate the strength of the ohuroh in such oases. I realize that expelling a member aught to be the very last resort, but it is very evident thst there should be a revision of many ohuroh resis ters. In one ohuroh on this charge I cannot put my hand on more than half the membership pf the congre gation-that is, if the ohuroh register is to be taken as an accurate roll of members. Now, what is to be done ? I take it for granted that this one is no exoeption to the rule. In many congregations there are a few faith ful ones who are laboring hard to hoid the church together. The ohuroh, for instance*, claims a mem bership of one hundred ; the average attendance is about thirty or forty. Now, what is the real strength of that ohuroh? There is no way of ascertaining ita strength. I have a few members whom I have never seen at any ohurch ser vice-they do absolutely nothing for the ohuroh, but want to claim all the privileges of members. Some of them live very near the ohuroh, but I have always been unable to per suade them to attend. Notwith standing their obligations, they con tribute nothing whatever to Bupport the ohuroh. But their names are still on the book and they claim to be members of the Methodist ohurch. A man cannot be a true Methodist and at the same time absent himself from every service of his chnrob, and, therefore, I contend that these people cannot be reported as belong ing to our church. No wonder we are able to report such laroje num- j bera. I believe that it is wrong for us to claim that a man belongs to us when he is doing nothing in any way to keep tho church alive. Ile that is not for us is against us, and tho man who is indolent, unworthy, is an enemy of the church, and ?tho | move so because his name is on her ; rolls. They bring a reproach upon us and should be expelled, in order that they may have less opportunity to injure us. I have always con tended that tho church's enemies are those inside who aro not worthy to be called by the name of "Metho dist." j Recently an old lady came to me and said : "I have lived - i this town for three years, and the Methodist : preacher has never been to see roe. j I am a good old Methodist, too." ; She was very much offended because ! the preachers who have been here failed to find her. But upon investi gation I learned that this poor old woman had not been to ohuroh in three years, and still claimed to be a good old Methodist. Would it not be well to have a law to expel members who, without a reasonable excuse, absented him self from ohuroh a given number of times in succession? Gan a loyal member remain away from the house of God for month? at a time ? The answer must be that he oannot. Then those who do this ought not to be considered members of the ohnroh. As long as this condition exists we will have but a very vague idea of our real strength. A smaller ?membership, who could be depended I upon, would be better than a long roll of members who neither attend services or contribute to support the institutions of the ohuroh.-Rev. Rhett R.

I-awrenee,. tho prisoner, while half drunk Sunday afternoon, stood on a corner and interfered with people returning from ohnroh.

The statement is frequently made that the people are not ready for pro hibition, and the dispensary is advo cated as a preparation for prohibition. Perhaps it is, but to a large extent on the prinoiple exhibited by some of the Greeks who are said to have made their slaves drunk that their oh ?lu rt-M might become disgusted with drunkenness. If the dispensary has ever been a step towards prohi bition, in auy direct way, it has bee? so only in the prophecies and prom ises of its friends. It ought to be a wonderful help to the cause of pro hibition when the following facts are borne in mind : It has striven to supplant the sa loons and blind tigers by catering to the same depraved appetite to whioh these universally condemned institu tions have ministered. It has done a business in selling drink which has enlarged to an enor mous and alarming extend It has endeavored to fasten itself upon the people as an institution to be perpetuated, and this means that it is a preserver of evil rather than a destroyer of it. It has fouled tho politioal atmos phere of the State, and attracted into politioal life many men of low ideals and oheap prinoiples. It has fooled the people with prom ises of reduced taxes and much money for sohool purposes. It has shed blood where blood ought not to have been shed, or have been shed in a worthier oause. It ha* sold liouor to those who should not have it, to drunkards, to ourderers; and it has been said, to blind tigers, and has thus direotly or indirectly violated their own law. It has -been an occasion for cor ruption and graft to remind us of the days when the State waB in the hands of aliens and incompetents. And all aloncr, the institution bas been run as a rule not solely with a view of moral benefit, but with an eye to its political power, its popu larity, its permanence, its finanoial profit, and especially for its personal remunerations, rewards and rebates. Tho best that it can ever do is to awaken in the minds of the people a i disgust out of which may grow better things.-Baptist Courier.

Lunney, Soneoa. The Drinking of Water. Every instant of our lives a cer tain amount of water is given out through the pores, of our skin, by means of perspiration, also through the lungs, the kidneys and by other organs. This loss, constantly going on, must be replaced by fresh sup plies taken into the stomach. Water has, indeed, a very import ant place to hold in our animal economy. When the supply runs low, the voice of nature is qniokly heard, and its name is thirst. This sensation will impel men to brave almost any danger, or undergo al most any pain, to satisfy it. It is, if it goes very far, accompanied by a rapid lowering of muscular strength and energy, until exertion becomes almost impossible, but on a fresh sup ply of water* being taken, an extraor dinary change takes place, and strength and muscular vigor aro at onoe restored. An abundant supply of water is, therefore, especially a matter of most urgent necessity, during great mus cular aotivity-either by man or beast. Complete deprivation of water usually proves fatal in from three to five days, and so intenso is the burn ing sensation of thrist under suoh circumstances that no other mode of torturo or death oan surpass its agonies. Especially in fevers, where the respiration is increased, thereby sup Elying more oxygen to the inward eat of the body, nature calls for large quantities of water to cool the condition. A hundred years ago the best physi cian would givo you a medicine for your heart without stopping to consider what effect in might bave on the liver. Bvon to this good day cough and cold medi cines invariably bind the bowels. This is wrong. Bee's Laxative Cough Syrup with Honey and Tar acts on the bowols -drives out the cold-oleara the head, re lieves al looughs, cleanses and strength en* the mucuous membranes of the throat, ohest, lungs and bronchial tubes.

Lieutenant-Governor Ellyson, of Virginia, who is a member of the National Democratic Committee, is quoted as asserting that his party ought to nominate a Southerner for the Presidency in 1008. He points out that forty-three years have passed since the Civil War, and deolares his belief that a Southern man would poll BS* many votes in the country at j large as a citizen of any other section. I "The South," he remarks, "has Presi dential timber." There are some elements of truth in this statement. With the lapse of almost half a century since Appo mattox, it is indeed time that Civil War animosities perishod. There is no reason, speaking theoretically, j why an able, incorruptible and patri otic Southern citizen should not as pire to the Presidential nomination. That suoh a man will be named for | some years to come, however, is ex tremely imprcbabls. The obstacle in the way is of the most material sort. The leaders of the Democratic party as at present constituted know that they can command the eleotoral votes of virtually all the distinctly j Southern States for any candidate! who is put up. Since the South can thus be depended upon, it naturally follows that practical politicians pre fer to name a man in another portion of the oountry in the hope that he may pall scmo of the doubtful States into the Demooratio column. Meanwhile, so far as 1908 is con cerned, it is pertinent to observe that | two more Demooratio State conven tions have just endorsed William J. j Bryan as the candidate of their party. -The Philadelphia Evening Bulle tin, August 9. -I CASTOR IA Por Infants and Children.
