Dillon is another of those communities
in South Carolina that
believes in deeds. There are
times when hot air has its uses,
but no enduring: monuments are
constructed of that material.?Columbia

Reception to Ladies of the Methodist
Church.
Perhaps never in the history of
the Methodist Church of Dillon
has there been a more enjoyable
occasion than that of Thursday
afternoon last, when the members
of the Home and Foreign Mission
Societies entertained in honor of
of the ladies of the church.
From four to six o'clock hostesses
and guests mingled in pleasant
intercourse, strains of sweet
music all the while lending their
charm to the pleasure of the afternoon.
The guests were graciously
welcomed by Mesdames L. C.
Braddy, P. B. Sellers, W. C.
Kirkland and *A. .1. Stokes, who
were ably assisted by the other
members of the societies in making
the occasion one of pleasure
to an.
Refreshments of coffee, chocolate
and cake were daintily served
in the Sunday School room, made
attractive bv the beauty and perfume
of many lovely violets.
A delightful lack of formality
characterized the whole affair,
and it is earnestly hoped that this
is only the first of many similar
gatherings. This was held at the
suggestion of the pastor, to promote
a greater feeling of sociability
among the members of the
church, binding them closer together,
and thus increasing their
mutual usefulness and helpfulness.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Newt from Our Busy Capital.
With automobiles largely supplanting
the horse in the White
House stables, it is hardly to be
supposed that the famous "riding
tetts" instituted by Mr. Roosevelt,
will continue to be the bete noir
of the army officer of ample proTV\rtinne
The President has the right to
maintain forty cadets at the
Military Academy at West Point,
and twenty at the Naval Academy
Annapolis, filling the vacancies
as they occur by reason of
graduation or discharge for deficinecy.
It has been the practice
to confine these appointments
almost entirely to the sons of
army and navy officers, with the
repult that much influence is
brought to bear on the White
House to obtain the few coveted
appointments each year. Mr.
Taft has under consideration
plans for making these appointments
after competitive tests, as
he believes it would be more fair
to the large number of candidates
whose applications are on file if
*1
iuc selections were determined
by examination, limited to the
class hitherto recognized. This
plan would be an excellent
one as it would not only
relieve the President of the
great pressure that is always
brought to bear for these appointments,
but would also remove,
in a measure, the discontent of
these who are necessarily left out.
\
A petition has been sent to
Congress from eighty-six lumber
firms in Alabama and Florida
protesting against the reduction
of the duty on lumber, and
tives from those states to vote
against any reduction in the duty
on lumber and its products.
Democrats and Republicans
alike will unite in wishing Mr.
Roosevelt bon voyage and a safe
return to his countrymen from
the wilds of Africa.
The real war over the tariff began
on Monday, of this week, on
the floor of the House of Representatives
and the belief seems
to obtain that during the general
debate on the Payne bill the Democrats
and Republicans will divide
upon the old line of a protective
tariff and a tariff for revenue
only, the Democrats supporting
the latter of course. We
hone the Hemnrrats in Pnnowcc
will come out heartily for and
stand pat on the proposition that
it is not only necessary to increase
the revenues of the country
by a revision of the schedules,
but that in order to wipe
out the Treasury deficit which
has g^own so rapidly during the
last year it is equally necessary
to reduce the enormous expenditures
of the country.
Gratifying will be the results,
no doubt, of the new order of
Secretary Ballinger, and which
carries the sigr ature of President
Taft, directing the officials of the
various Territories to remain at
home and attend to "their own
knitting". It has been customary
for some important Territorial
officials Governors of some
of the Territories principally, to
make frequent visits to Washington,
of long duration, in the interests
of Statehood, appointments
in which they were particularly
interested, etc., and we
quite agree with the new Secre1
tary of the Interior that the Delegates
in Congress from thes^
1 Territories are the proper persons
to represent them in these matI
ters at the seat of Federal cover
ment.
We are pleased to learn that the
Bureau of Immigration is about
to investigate the charges that
thousands of marine firemen have
been "shanghaied" from ocean
liners in New York harbor, within
the last year or two, to work in
the furnace rooms of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, the Interborough,
the other companies
maintaining large steam plants,
especially in Jersey City and
Hoboken. It is claimed that
these companies pay a premium
of five dollars each to their agents
for stealing men from steamships
which have docked at New York,
Hoboken and Jersey City. Commissioner
General Keefe has
laid the matter before the bureau
for investigation and no doubt
thi$> nefarious business will be
stopped.
The recent reports that the
prosecution of the Standard Oil
Corporation was to be abandoned
by the Taft administration seemed
hardly credible, and now comes
the denial of the rumor from
Washington. It seems that
there are a number of cases pending
against the Standard Oil
Company based upon the same
facts involved in the suit that has
been thrown out of court, and of
course to attempt to prosecute on
these same ; facts would be as
foolish as it would be useless. If
the Standard Oil Company is
still vinlatinor fho 1??"?
- ?vuv mrro, UU"
viously the first step is to obtain
evidence sufficient to convict and
then bring: the corporation into
court again but on a different
footing from that upon which it
stood when it won its victory.

if you are improving under your fam.
ily physician, do not come and take up
their valuable time, as they absolutely
ret use to treat uny one who is under the

wish besides to give each patient pleuty
of time and their undivided attention,
but can not listen to loug stories not pertaining
to your trouble. They have discarded
the old methods and remedies
used for ages by the medical world, and
which it would be folly to depend upon
any longer, for they are not known to

them for relief. The following list of
diseases only are taken under treatment
to wit: Diseases of the nervous system,
heart, stomach, lnugs, kidneys, catarrh,
