This dispensary election matter ,
bids fair to get pretty badly tangled (
up before the lawyers get through ,
with it. j
It is announced that President
Taft is to visit Florence? Will the '
Rev. Josh Wilson, negro postmaster, 1
be a member of the reception com- ''
mittee?
It is said by a good many people ]
here that whiskey is being sold in <
Bamberg illegally. Those who know l
IV WHO II IS lilcH. is t>cii:ug it suuuiu j
swear out warrants and prosecute.
The act under which the dispensary
election is to be held is puz- j
sling to a great many people, and <
it would seem from reading it that (
no person has a right to keep a lit- ]
tie whiskey in his home even. ]
The negroes of Bamberg might as ^
well understand right now that a }
negro who minds his own business .
can get along all right in Bamberg, (
but we have no room for these fel- (
lows who want to breed trouble and j
they will not be tolerated. There .
are some other negroes here who 3
need to be taught a lesson, and it ,
will be taught them and that soon
it they do not watch their conduct .
pretty close. ,
From what we have learned from :
reliable gentlemen, there seems to ]
have been a great change of opinion (
recently in counties which are to vote
on the dispensary question. A few :
weeks ago it seemed that prohibition
would prevail in these counties by a ]
large vote, but there has been a
change in sentiment, and it is likely

have beard from several that dispen- <
sary sentiment is getting stronger in '
this county the nearer the election ]
approaches. <
BLOOD HOUNDS WOUND MAN. j
Georgia Farmer Dying as Result of
Attack by Savage Dogs. j
Douglas, Ga., August 8.?P. C. ]
Butts, an aged farmer, is said to be i
dying at his home in this county as ]
the results of a savage attack made i
on him by two bloodhounds owned '
by a neighbor. The man's neck, body
and arms and legs were lacerated by s
the teeth of the animals. The aged ]
man's cries for help brought aid al- 1
most too late. The dogs were final- ]
ly beaten off, but the wounds they <
inflicted are said to be almost neces- 1
sarily fatal, when the farmer's age i
is taken into account. i

Dragged to Death by Mule.
Lancaster, Aug. 9.?Mr. A. C.
Floe, who lived on the farm of Judge ,
Jones, three miles from this town,
met a horrible death on his farm late ;
this afternoon.
Mr. Floe had finished his day's ,
work and was returning to his home (
riding a mule with tne gear on wnen
the animal became frightened at a
passing negro, riding a bicycle, and
ran, throwing Mr. Floe from the
mule and catching him in the trace
chain.
In this condition Mr. Floe was
dragged a considerable distance to
his home. The mule continued to
drag the unconscious man through
his yard, relatives being unable to
stop the frightened animal.
Mr. Floe was dead when the mule
was stopped, his head being crushed
and his body badly bruised. He
leaves a wife and nine children and
was a good citizen. The funeral services
will be held tomorrow.

Kidnappers Demand $25,000 for Return
of Children.

near the home of their wealthy parents,
in the Italian colony.
Shortly after a letter demanding
$25,000 was delivered to the father
of the children, Pietro Viviano, and
a cousin of 'the same name. The Vivianos
are manufacturers of spaghetti.
The police are searching for Samuel
Turrisi, an employe of the Vivianos,
said to have been seen with
the children shortly before the disappearance.
Playmates said Turrisi
offered to buy ice cream for the children.
"The children are with me and are
safe," read a letter, "and they will
be safe if you send the $25,000 to
Wellston."
The missive was signed "Baska
Chinsa" (closed mouth). Wellston is
a suburb.
To-night the father of the children
went to the place designated, carrying
a satchel and guarded by detectives.

Several threatening letters have
been received by the Vivianos and a
grocery owned by them has twice
been damaged by explosives.
Turrisi is from Palermo, Sicily, of
which the Vivianos are also natives.
Blow to Negro Secret Orders.
Atlanta, Ga., August 7.?Negroes
in Georgia who organize lodges or
3ecret societies whose membership is
confined exclusively to whites will go
to jail, if the house approves a bill
passed by the senate.
The bill is supported by the Elks,
Knights of Pythias and Woodmen.
Dnly recently the Pythians secured
an injunction against some negroes
who organized a lodge. The Elks
have had similar trouble. The bill
makes it a penal offense to wear insignia,
badges or regalia of a lodge
by a negro, or for negroes to adopt a
name of society used by whites.
Fight on Saloons in Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 5.?Catholic temperance
advocates of the United
States marshaled their forces in Chicago
yesterday, and directed at the
liquor traffic a blow calculated to
have a mighty effect in coming political
battles against the saloon. Following
a parade of 4,500 men, women
and children down Michigan
avenue, the Sunday saloon and liquor
industry as a whole was vigorously
attacked by Right Rev. J.. F.
Regis Canevin, bishop of Pittsburg,
and other speakers last night at a
mass meeting, in the Auditorium theatre.
The parade, witnessed by thousands
of persons who thronged both
sides of Michigan avenue from
rwentieth to Congress streets, signalized
the "silent answer" of Catholic
Total Abstinence union to the
ieclaration of Mayor Rose, of Mil
wraukee, that the church of Rome is
not opposed to drink.
Rev. O. J. Frier Reviews Dr. Jones's
Recent Sermon in Charleston on
the Dispensary Issue.
Not withstanding the inclemency
pf the weather a large crowd attended
the Baptist church in Bamberg
Sunday night to listen to a review
pf Dr. Howard S. Jones's recent sermon
in Charleston that has occasioned
a good deal of comment in this
community. The large congregation
listened with breathless interest to
the kindly but thoughtful and earnest
review by the pastor.
He first read the Lord's Prayer, as
it is called, in the sixth chapter of
Matthew, as the model Christian
prayer, and made a few remarks on
the consistency between Christian
prayer and true Christian attitude
md action. The choir then sang
"Vote as you pray."
He then prefaced his remarks by
several passages of scripture read
from the American revision of the
Bible, with brief explanations, as follows:
Exodus 32:19-26, in which he
compared Aaron, who had yielded to
the pressure of the people and the
stress of circumstances, to Moses who
said, "Who is on Jehovah's side?
Let him come unto me." 1 John 3:
7-8, in which Christ's attitude toward
all evil is expressed; and 1 Cor.
11:1, where Paul, like Moses above,
* - ?."IV. .4; A
exnoris lO imnait tunst ttD tic vim,
that is, with him. Then he read
Rom. 12:21, where Paul lays down
the principle of how to overcome
evil, which is not by regulation or
compromise, but by the opposite element?good.
Lastly he read Eph. 5:
3-11, expressing the uncompromising
attitude of Christianity toward moral
darkness and evil in the world.
He then prefaced his review by
saying that it was not his purpose
to impugn the motives of Dr. Jones,
but rather ascribe the best possible
motives to him. Nor to sit in judgment
on him, as "to his own Master
he standeth or falleth;" but to weigh
his attitude as a Christian minister
in the scales of Divine Truth which
all ministers are to preach.
The following is a summary of
what he said:
"In the first place, Dr. Jones has
been much misused by the liquor element.
His bold but compromising
utterances subjected him to this,
however. I admire any man who has
the courage of his convictions; but
I am sad and , sorrowful when a
brother minister feels called upon to
assume such an attitude on a great
v *
moral question like this, that those
who are lined up against Christianity
count him on their side."
He then showed from the public
utterances of Dr. Jones where he had
mi'eonnliofl dc Vl O xi-a Q H Pfl 1 i T1 ?T
UilOaj/f/ilvU) uw uv .. MW ? ~ ? ^
with the problem of a sea coast city
where conditions are quite different
from what they are in the country
and country towns. He then reviewed
the sermon in general from
the standpoint of a Christian minister.
He said: "His so-called sermon
hasn't the same ring as the utterances
of Moses and Paul, read at
the o?tset. They sound more like a
politician weighing things from a
standpoint of expediency than of
right and wrong, as the scriptures
weigh every question. They seem
more like a lecture on moral philosophy
by some professor of a secular
institution, who does not .take the
Bible as his guide. I did not notice
any reference to the scriptures in
Dr. Jones's published utterances, but
the text he used, and so vague and
indirect is its bearing on what he
said, that from my view point, it
condemns his attitude rather than
justifies it.
"His logic even seems faulty in
one special point in which he avows
his sympathy with the ideals of prohibition
but discounts and doubts the
efficiency of prohibition as a method
of reaching that end. There is a
vital relation between right ^deals
and right methods that is inseparable.
As a stairway is to its landing
so are these related.
"There are questionable methods
of prohibition work like there are
of Christian evangelism, that are
subject to criticism. But certain
methods of prohibition, and. prohibition
as a method, are two different
things. You will never bring about
a Christian conscience on this question
among our citizens so long as
the liquor business is made legitimate
and honorable by law. Paul's
logic applies here. If we ever overcome
this great evil that has fastened
itself upon the body politic of our
people, it must' be done by good, or
the enthronement of right in our
laws and outlawing wrong.
"Dr. Jones seems to find himself
and his people between two evils in
Charleston, the prohibition cause advocated
by the blind tiger element
<1 minnritv nf thf* hPRt Tlf>0
auu a aiiuvi *vj \ / w. r
pie there, as he sees it, which would
render a prohibition law 'a screaming
farce' if enacted; on the other hand
is the dispensary law acknowledged
by him to be a farce already, and
shown by information that I have in
my possession (which was read to
the congregation) to be a roaring
farce so far as enforcement and lack
of public sentiment behind it is concerned.
He is afraid of lawlessness
under prohibition law, and leads his
flock over into lawlessness already
established by law as the lesser of
two evils.
"Why should he choose either horn
of the dilemma? Why did he not,
like Moses, above quoted, take a
stand for right with his Lord and
bid his people come to him, in opposition
to both evils, advocating a
prohibition law from right motives;
and instead of recommending that an
organization be formed for the enforcement
of the dispensary law, recommend
that a law and order league
be formed to see that the prohibition
law would be enforced if the cause
should win, dictating such terms to
the blind < tiger element that tney
would be forced out of the ranks, or
agree to abide by the law? If he had
done so he would stand squarely on
a scripture platform which shuns
every form of evU (1 Thes. 5:22) and
not have invoked the censure of his
brethren, nor caused rejoicing in the
'camp of the Philistines.'
"While Dr. Jones justifies his attitude
toward blind tigers and dispensary
in Charleston for fear of. lawlessness,
this is not the common motive
of those he has lined up with;
but love of liquor and love of money
are the commonly expressed motives.
Paul says?1 Tim. 5:10?that the
love of money is the root of all kinds
of evil, and is the tap root of the liquor
business that is so fastened on
our people. This is as immoral as
blind tigers, since it breaks two commandments
in the moral law. Paul
says it is idolatry."
Rev. Mr. Frier concluded his remarks
by a very solemn presentation
of the whole situation in general before
the judgment seat of Christ with
judgment already rendered?Matt.
18:6-7, where he solemnly warns
against putting an occasion of stumbling
in the way of a weak follower of
his, and pronounces a woe unto those
by whom such occasions come. Since
his words shall judge us in the last
day (John 12:48), we can read our
condemnation now if we dare the responsibility
of doing so.
The choir then sang impressively,
"Who is on the Lord's side?"

Many Bamberg Citizens Have Dis
covered it*
Just what to do when the kidneys ':i$.\
are affected, is a question that concerns
both young and old. Weak
kidneys neglected in childhood lead
to life-long suffering. People of ad- ,
vanced years, with less vitality, suffer
doubly. In youth or age, languor,
backache, urinary irregular-. : ^
Ity, dizziness and nervousness make . -i
life a burden.
There is one remedy that acts directly
on the kidneys and cures these .
troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe ^
their world-wide fame to the fact
that they cure sick kidneys and cure
them permanently. Follow the ex- ample
of this Bamberg citizen and
you will be convinced that this is
SO. v/^Si
Mrs. J. Q. Adams, N. Main street, -j
Bamberg, S. C., says: "I can say
that no remedy I have ever tried has ' liS
given me as much relief as Doan's
Kidney Pills. I suffered from kid- 4
ney trouble for three years. There
was always a dull pain across the
small of my back and at times I felt >rvery
dizzy. The kidney secretions
were also irregular in passage ana <5
caused me added annoyance. Upon
hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills, I W4?;
went to the Peoples Drug Co. and
procured a supply. The contents of
three boxes have helped me wonderfully.
I intend to continue the use
of this remedy."
