This has been done to If ncit interest in the prayer meet- , ngs without sacrificing the design j(; >) such a service or neglecting the nain purpose of prayer service. He "J hlivers a brief lecture on the topic idvertised and then draws intense- * y spiritual lessons from those obiects. In addition to this he com- ^ titnt;; rapidly upon the scriptures. 1 < ad. By this method the prayer ser- 1 is very diversified and is well 1 .1 tended. About ten minutes to the ' ecture and about ten minutes is used i deducing he spiritual. We will here c Mention a few of these subjects that i lave been and will be presented: For s nstance, in astronomy the subject >*as "A world ten times the size of )ur earth; tlio light of a world dying 'ive thousand years after tho word ,*ss dead; three millions suns with verbis revolving about then." L^c- ? ures on flowers and bees; migratory ?iif|s; fishes of the sea; our pil:rim fathers; national curiosities; he ministry of jokes and fun and : aughter in Samson's life; the minis- > ry of insects; national peculiarities; ? Norway and Sweeden; gardening; e makeg and their office; stones of the f 3ible; gates that never close; the wonders of the rocks; the governnent of ants; the animals of scriptire to which our Saviour compared ifople. Lately he lectured on butter- . lies and from this little winged flow;r he deduced the most Intensely spiritual lessons. Mr. Bailey says he vants to educate and interest people, >ut if any one supposes that he js ;oing to neglect the spiritual that icrson had better stay at home. The lectures do not come every rhursday night, but at intervals, by i sandwiching process, are delivered o keep up interest- The public is in/iled to be present. A Cor.

I THURSDAY, MORNING, APRIL 14, THE BIG HAM CASEThis much to be pitied man has by this time learned at least a part of the old book which declares that "the way of the transgressor is hard;" and the meaning of that scripture which enjoins upon us to to "so number i our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom;" has learned that wrong will ultimately break down under its own weight. Many have expressed the idea that he is get ung just what he deserves. It is true not only of him, but of thousands that have traveled the same beaten Liack of lawlessness. If at one glance ill of the criminals of our land could see that countless multitude that lave been punished for crimes, we reel that it would deter many in the commission of a like violation of law. iYliile we pity any criminal, we must lold to capital punishment, unless he sentiment of justice is clean gone >ut of us. We hold to this doctrine )eeause the "life of those murdered vas just as sweet as that of the murlerer nnd in many instances sweeter; iccause the measure of murder is hath; because the Ilible, upon which .ur government rests, declares that whosover sheddeth man's blood by nan (the State) shall his blood be lied; because murder is not only tilling a person, but it is a eath blow at the government, which 3 designed to protect life; because he only way to insure the lives of thers is to make the penalty suficient to inspire reverence for law; , ecause the execution of one crimial prevents the commission of crime y other criminals, in spite of the act that people deny it. The proof f which is scon in the laws of Eng inu ana other countries where they ?i punish with death, .and as a conequence have less crimes than we ave. More murders in little South larolina than in all England in one ear. We believe in capital punislitent because our great example, in lie person of Christ, did sanction it y saving the soul of the dying thief ithout interfering with the justice f law. Right here we have no space a discuss a long theological quesion, but we can say that God deals [ ith impenitence upon the princi- r les of iustice, eye for eye, tootfi for L joth, and deals with another class, p s did Christ, upon the principles of lercy, but in every instance, mercy p the merciful only, justice to the p list and death to the unjust and l lerciless criminal- If this sad inci- r ent was the last of the criminal l ocords of this world's history, it C fOUld be a different nnestinn Hut L here are thousands ready to walk in H is footsteps; if we had the power r> transmute the criminal into a [ aint, i. e., to change the whole order r f things, then might we let down t he majesty of the law and release r he criminal, but not until then- We * re too prone to remember only the C iving arid to forget the victim of ruelty. The preservation not only f if a lifc? is at stake, but the preser- r ation of law and order is also, ? "hree propositions; viz: Whatever r uevents sin prevents misery (for ? in is the transgression of the law) ? nd promotes happiness. To inflict r dequate punishment is essential to fc cod government; and the execution r if the law is necessary to its effl- I acy. The execution of law is not only [ .11 expression of justice to the trans- 1 ;ressor, but is an expression of mer- ^ y and love toward those who might f ie victims of other criminals, if the r aw is not executed*. Therefore it is nerciful to punish crime. Merciful sot only to the "would-be criminal." >ut to the would-be victims of his rime. However, we are not too (vere toward the criminal in our eelings; for when we take into conideration one's early education' and leglect of education; the environment in which one has grown up; he unholy examples he has had heore him; the terrible law of "herelity" whereby his ancestors have lealt hard with him; take into consideration the influences of your mine and .the church, etc. Considering these things we should be humdo and thankful, but not boastful; re should guard against similar emptations; and in our wrath reneraber ourselves as no better, by lature, than the rest of humanity? bough we may bo better by practice >ccause of being favored above oth rs. In our supplications we should >ray for the preservation of law and lalvation men's souls. E. C. Bailey. We have opened ?n Optical Office it Dillon, S. C.

How About Your Danger Zone? 1 ! jy You've got it?every human being is born with it?your large intestine, or colon. It is a long, muscular tube- intended to collect food waste and remove it from the body. Plug it up with WwStc, neglect it, and you're sick on your feet. The food waste stagnates, "underIgoes decay, fermentation and germ action. A II ...... - " * * nuun constipation 10 occomc established, and you are liable to become definitely and miserably sick?and not on your V i feet either. Pills, costor oil, laxative waters and salts only force and irri* tate the bowels and make constipution a habit. Nujol works on an entirely new principle, j Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply softens the food waste. Thi^ enables the many tiny muscles in the \ walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their normal way, to squeeze the food waste ulong so that it passes naturally out of the system. , Nujol thus prevents constipation because it helps Nature maintain easy, thorough bowel evacuation ut regular intervals ?the healthiest habit in the world.
