Gala Day in Branchrille. Last Friday, April 15th, was a gala day for Branchville, an epoch in the history of the town. The occasion was that of laying the comer-stone of the new 3Ieth? ? ?1> a nnf a?r\i?ici n tT OCUSl caurcu, v>uiuu iuc cutu^iiiuuj Methodists of the town have recently begun to build. The structure is of brick, modern in its architectural design and upto-date in its appointments and finish, and when completed to cost $8,000. The interest of the whole town was shown by the closing of all the stores, the bank, and every place of business, that all might be present and enjoy the exercises of the occasion. A large number of persons from the country around Branchville, and from the neighboring towns of Orange burg, Bamberg, St George, and others were there to enjoy the day with "all Branchville," enthusiastic in the new church , enterprise. At 11 a. m., the crowd having assembled at the site of the church, Bishop W. W. ; Duncan conducted the oeautuui ana apj propriate services of the ritual of the M. E. Church, South, for laying the corner| stone of churches, after which he made a rery appropriate and eloquent address. He complimented them on their good work, and encouraged continued giving 'r until the church was completed. After the exercises were over the large crowd L j was served to an elegant dinner at the very low price of twenty-live cents. Some ; i speeches were made in the afternoon, . and then the people went to their homes, 1 carrying pleasant memories of a delights ful day, never to be forgotten, not only by ? the people of Branchville. but by all who were present and received the courteous kindness of her enterprising citizens. Such an enthusiastic spirit of enterprise . as Branchville has must be an inspiration j to other towns contemplating a like en> terprise. We say "well done" Branchville Methodism, and hope to be able to say it to others at an early date. Fewer gallons; wears longer; Deyoe. ' V:''' ' ?Echoes from the Campaign. From the opening speech it has been conceded that Mayfield is the ablest man in the field. All the candidates quote from his speeches, and refer to what Mayfield says. Senator Mayfield's position on the development of markets for cotton is unanswerable. He is welcomed by all business men, farmers, merchants, mill laborers and manufacturers. At Johnston his speech was a literary gem. its delivery superb. At Edgefield he held his audience enchanted; at Graniteville, he spoke to an audience standing in front of the hotel, yet not n man moved or a woman spoke, and when he ceased the applause burst from an audience which went there adverse to him; at Aiken the only disturbance was from some self-interested parties who sought to annoy him, but his clear, manly statement and joke swept the audience as an electric wave; at Barnwell the most powerful speech of the campaign was delivered, his reception was great for he had served this county faithfully and well, and the audience hung on his words spell bound; at Bamberg, his home, his reception amounted to an ovation. His speech was a chaste, ornate, pithy, strong, eloquent plea for the education of the people, his argument for the industrial development of the South unanswerable, and carried conviction with it. "Indeed," he said, "it is with poor grace that my opponentscomplain, sayingMayfield is an eloquent man. Did not God choose Aaron to plead the cause of the children of Israel before Pharoh's throne because he was eloquent and able? Let me plead your cause before the Republican hosts." It is clear that the fight is to keep Mayfield out of the second race. All the candidates are friendly to him, and each next to himself hopes Mayfield will win. Letter to General P. M. Bamberg. Dear Sir: Mr N Avery, Delhi, N Y, had two houses exactly alike, and painted them: one Devoe lead-and-zinc; the other barytes-and-zinc. He paid same price for both paints. He used six gallons of lead-and-zinc, 12 gallons barytes-and-zinc. He paid $18 for painting lead-and-zinc, $36 for painting barytes-and-zinc. The total cost of the lead-and-zinc job was $27; the total cost of the barytes-and-! -t zinc jou was $o?. He didn't know he way buying barytes; the dealer told him that paint was as good as Devoe. A fair example of bow it generally conies-out, when you buy "something just as good." Better go "by the name: the name; and the name is Devoe. Tours truly F W Devoe &"Co 50 New York.

AND BELL TELEPHONES WeaK ~ Hearts Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple Indigestion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indigestion. All food taken into the stomach which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada. 0 , says: I had stomach trouble and was in a . state as I had heart trouble with it. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four months and it cured me, Kodol Digests Whet You Eat and relieves the stomach of all nervous strain and the heart of all pressure.
