Mrs Armour which he is now losing. came at the invitation of the The literature being publiihed Woman's Christian Temperance by the Anti-Saloon league is Union, and being a noted leader being circulated among the peo- in her own state, drew large pie throughout the twenty-one crowds, who beard her with much wet counties, and some of the pleasure and profit. Dr Baker, the National Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, came to the aid of the State Superinten dent in planning the work in this state. While here be gave ns six of his beat speeches, to the great delight and .edification of the crowds that came to hear. From all accounts Gov. Glenn captured. Colombia. We are glad that this movement has talfen on a national phase at last. We are glad that the day has come when the people of the North can lay aside party pre judice and narrow-mindednees, and receive with enthusiasm a George Stewart of Tennessee ora Seaborne Wright of Georgia. We are rejoicing that while nar row partisan papers try to appeal to prejudice about “imported speakers”, that the people of South Carolina crowd audito riums and receive just as enthu siastically a Glenn, a Baker, oi a Mrs Armour. The cry ol “fanaticism,” “hypocracy,” and “personal liberty,” has become an old song and the people will not even join in the chorus. We find a growing sentiment in every county against any legalized form of the liquor trade. The people in the coun try have found that while the dispensary may seem to bring aome revenue to the towns and cities, is possibly helping to pave streets and pay off floating bonds on school buildings, at the same time, it ia robbing the people in the country of the necessaries of life, and is exposing their fami lies to all the dangers which fol low in the wake of drunken men. No police protection, in their cry, when the crowds come back into the country from the dispensary towna, drunken on dispensary liqnor, especially Saturday night. This has become so notorious that the state baa been called upon to provide rural police for the protection of the people in several dispensary counties. The merchants too are finding that the millions of dollars going out of the state in cash for liquor, is hurting them in their busness, country papers are reproducing it in their columns. The demand if great, hot we consider this part of the work very important, and we are sparing neither money nor labor m supplying it. Inquiries are coming in from every direction to know if the League will be be able to stand the financial strain of this cam paign. I do not hesitate to answer, yes. The League is being supported by those who have faith in it, antj while we have no large contributors, the work goes on al right financially . Sometime ago we sent a circular letter to subscribers who were in arrears, urging them to pay their dues that we might have the funds to do the work as it should be done. Of course, some paper* published at once that we were 1 'begging for funds to save .he life of the League.” But they could have saved the ink as well as the false impression they meant to convey; for the League is in no danger of dissolution whatever. It has been published all over South Carolina that the contributors to the League are paying thousands of dollars to the National League up north, and that the National League is using this money for purposes to suit themselves. Of course, this is nothing more nor less than a published falsehood, for the pur pose of prejudicing the minds of the people against the League in the state. We only pay our dues to the National League, which has amounted tc just $100. for the whole state of South Carolina the past fourteen months. By paying our dues to the National League, we are kept in touch with them and have the privi lege of calling on them for men when needed, without cost except expenses. In this way we got Dr J W Young to start the work in South Carolina, Dr Hare to campaign and organize for seven weeks for us, and Dr Baker to help ns for ten days daring the month of April of this year. Bat while we stand ready to do oar part, we beg the brethren to push this battle for all it is U 1892 Pure Aluminum Ware Will Not Rust, Crack, Break, Scorch or Bum Cheapest Because Best Will Last a Lifetime s* ERE. at last, is the ideal kitchen and cooking utensil—“THE WARE THAT WEARS'*- made frem Pure Spun Aluminum, and guaranteed by the makers to last 2S years with average usage. “Spun” Aluminum, mind you. not cast Aluminum, which will sometimes crack and scale.

Dr. William H. Diefanbach of New York, tn a paper en titled “Observations on the Etiology of Cancer.” read before the Bureau of Sanitary Science and Public Health during the session of the International Homeopathic Congress at Atlantic City, discussed this subject According to a special dispatch to the * Philadelphia North American, Dr. Diefan bach advanced the argument that chipping of the hard-coated dishes used in preparation of meals allowed minute but dangerous particles of foreign matter to become mixed with the food, these being taken into the stomach, where the cancerous growth is caused by abrasions which they make in the walls of the organ. “ISQJ” Pure Aluminum Ware saves doctors’ bills.
