however, he was able to resume

the future as it has during thej
last 18 years under his manage-<
ment.
Men who have the respect of
intelligent people and the love of
* * little children are on the high
road to success.
Many a child goes astray not
because there is want of virtue
in the home but because the j
home lacks sunshine.
Man is not only the architect
of his own fortunes; he is also
the bricklayer, carpenter, laborer !
and many other things besides.

many a man Doasts louaiy 01
freedom who is a slave to bad
habits. Let him not boast until
he frees himself from the >
shackles that bind him.
Many .people who talk about i
what is "due society" fail to pay
what is due the grocer, butcher,
dry goods man, and many others
to whom they are indebted.

The way to escape worry is
not by seeking to avoid it, but
by taking a fresh interest in
life. That, more than anything
else, will effect the object and
make one cheerful and glad.
The poet has sung about not
letting a day pass without some
good having been done to others.
That is well, and if every citizen
of this place will see to it not to
let a day pass without saying a
good word for this community
he will help a whole lot of people.
Life, like a bank, gives you
back with interest what you put
into it. If you put but little in
you get but a small return, and
if you put nothing in you get
nothing back. It will be noted
that most folks who comnlain
that life means nothing to them
are of that class. They expect
something for nothing and they
get disappointed.
You can't run a live town or
anything else except a cemetery
with dead men. A man is dead
when he is destitute of public
spirit, opposes improvements,
and finds fault with tilings in
general. The only proper way
to deal with such men is to take
them out and bury them. Dead
also to self-respect is the man
too lazy to work and who thereby,
if he is married, throws all
the burden on his wife.
A
great many State legislatures
have given consideration
to bills taxing bachelors and
many convincing arguments have
been presented why men who
escape matrimony should pay a
penalty, but why not tag them
as a more painless and effective
* method of extermination? If
the bachelors were tagged the
widows, could easily find them
and Cupid would do the rest.
The bachelor is naturally timid,
hut under the encouraging . influences
of a merry widow he
can be easily led to the altar,
for there ia no more helpless

craft afloat than a lovesick swain
who has passed the age of discretion
and the little imp that
plays ping-pong with human
hearts has no more capable ally
than a woman who loves at
second sight, for experience
makes Cupid subtle and bold.
The women have tag days to
promote most every other public
enterprise, and why not a tag
day for bachelors? We have in
South Carolina approximately f
fifty thousand bachelors and an S
equal number of widows. Why f
not get them together and solve ^
two vexatious problems with one *
marriage license? r

The Flint Hill Meeting.
(Intended for last week.)
Last Sunday marked the close
of one of the most gracious revival
meetings in the history of
old Flint Hill church. Rev. Mr.
White being unable to be with us,
our pastor. Rev. S. P. Hair, delivered
God's messages to us j
throughout the entire week. We j
feel that the Divine Hand of God
detained Brother White and
saved some lost soul through our
pastor that possibly the visitingminister
would not have ap- ,
pealed to. Then too, it was a
great privilege and blessing to i
have Bro. Frank McCravy, of
Laurens, with us. His strong
and masterly way of singing the
gospel was equally as appealing
land sweet as Brother Hair's ex
cellent sermons.
There were only ten additions
to the church, but we feel that
God has never made His presence
known with us as He did
last week. It was a errand sight
to see many of our pood people
who are on the south side of life,
stand up before the people and
confess and testify for Christ.
Some of the most touching appeals
we ever heard came
through some of our laymen.
And we feel that we cannot
say too much in behalf of our;
pastor's splendid services during
the meeting. Some one was
heard to say that .they did not |
know Bro. Hair could prv*ach
such strong sermons, but brother,
those were not- S. P. Hair's ser-1
mons?they were God's mes-1
sages, and our good Brother was
the instrument through which
God appealed to us.
We praise God for the manifestation
of His love during the
meeting just closed and may His
richest blessing rest upon our
good pastor and Bro. McCravy.

NOT WISE TO
TAKE CALOMEL
Dodson's Liver Tone is just as
sure in results and always safe,
pleasant in taste -and has no bad
after-effects. As a remedy for
a torpid liver calomel has more
than met its match in Dodson's
Liver Tone. This medicine does
not roughly force the liver on to
Serf orm its work. It acts gently
ut surely.
Calomel depends for its power
upon exciting the liver to do
mnro wnrl- nffon fVin
a va v. WW***, U1IU VA VV.11 tll?7 II Y CI
is too weak to stand such treatment,
and after taking calomel
you are as a result sometimes
worse off than before. >
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot
cause any of the dangerous
effects that often follow the use
of calomel. It is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to the taste,
and is suitable for children and
grown people.
Get a large bottle for fifty
cents at Ardrey's Drug store
under the guarantee that if it
doesn't satisfy you that it perfectly
takes the place of calomel
you will be given your money
back with a smile right at the
store where you bought Dodson's
medicine. #
