Apostle Dowie always has express ed great admiration for President Roosevelt and has opposed race sui cide, though he himself has been the father of but two children. Now, however, he has taken a practical step toward putting his ideas into effect, and toda, he issued a formal order that henceforth every couple married in his flock shall lead a little lamb to the baptismal front every twelve months. From now on he wants to know the size of every Zionist's family, and all that is necessary will be to know how' many years the Dowioite has been married. The members of the Christian Catholic chturch communi ty at Zion City, following the com mands of the first apostle in all things say they will not halk. Bishop Coleman of the Episro pal diocese of Delaware thunders against the runaway iarriago anl prohibits ministers within his ju risdiction to perform the marriage ceremony for runaway couples. But what good will that do? Young men and young women will continuo to elope, just as they have been doing from tiien immemorial, There are as a matter of fact, cer tain sentimental girls who would not be contented to get married in the prosy home-wedding fash lon. They want the excitoment and romance of running away; and their sweethearts are willing to acconiodate them. And if the preachers won't read the service for them, they will go to a magis trate. Has a man a right to spit? asks an exchange, and then it proceeds to answer the question thusly: "You bet he has, atnd a right to breathe, a rig to live and a right to express his opinion; a right to kick and a right to work, also a iight to vote and pay taxes, and to find fault with every. body and everything he don't like. Man has a wvhole lot of rights, but he should exercise them all like a gentleman." If one liquor house was anxious to pay $80,000 a year for $400,000 worth of diepensary business, how muoh is it probable that other houses have been paying for the two to three millions that has been placed annually in the past several years? And whore has all this money gone? for it is not conceiv able that all this rich graft has been permitted to escape. Carolina is reported to be "hold ing her breath" waiting for the dis pensary investigation. There is no use talking, the scent of state liquor does cling to one's breath powerfully, but breath holding is painful, and, cachous, made of mint, are said to be first class in such cases. In the Savannah cotton mills the white spinners refused to handle the product of the negro cordere and the mill has had to stop. Everybody re-. cognizes the color lins except Wana maker. "The average politican (does dirty work before he gets his job, and very - little of any kind rafterwvard," says -Watson, who evidently knows where. of he speaks.

A MAMMOTHBUSINESS.. 'olger & Thoruley, le'chants---An Enterpris ing Fir.4 'The Best (Goods for the Least Money" Their Motto---A Resumie of Their Business. This is the sixth year that Messrs. Folger & Thornley have been engaged, as partners, in the selling of goods in Pickens. They have enlarged their business each year, and each season have added more goods and better goods, buying a finer quality of dry goods, clothing, etc., than the buying public were used to, educating the trading public up to the best the markets of the world have in store for discriminating pur chasers. This enterprising firm carries nearly anything you need, in fact is one o the best selected stocks of general merchandise to be found anywhcre. Their business had increased to such an extent that they had to have more room; the old store, which is a wooden structure 30X100, was too small, and a nice two-story structure 40xi 15 feet was built beside this. *; f The old store is used for a buggy, wagon and harness re pository, while the upstairs is used for knocked down buggies. wagons and repairs for same. The new building is -well fitted up and a well selected and nicely assorted line of clothing, dry goods, shoes, etc., is carried in here. The upstairs is given over to their furniture department, which is replete in everything nee~ded for the parlor, hail, bed-room, dining-room or kitchen. They buy furniture direct from the factories in solid car load lots and can sell you cheaper than the same goods can be bought elsewhere. Suits range in price from $1 2.00 to $65.00. They recently sold a large bill of furniture to a gentleman wvho lives in Seneca, and who had tried else where and found the Pickens market the cheapest. They fre quently sell furniture, buggies, wagons~and other goods to people of other counties. They hWave bought largely of dry goods this season and are now opening up a car load of dry goods and notions, which is the nicest line of dress goods ever bought by them. Mrs. Emma Majors will have charge of this department and will be glad to have her friends call on her. Messrs. Folger & Thornley handle fertilizers, country pro duce and buy cotton, and they propose to pay the top notch for produce and the fleecy staple. TIhey are ably assisted in handling their business by Messrs. G. Rob Hendlricks, David G. Moore and Wayne F. Mauldin, all nice, gentlemanly sales.. men who wish their friends to hunt them up and they will do all they can to make it to the customer's interest to trade with them. Above we show a nice photograph of their store buildings, which speaks well not only for this enterprising firm, but a whole lot for the town and county. As soon as all their goods are received they will increase their space in this paper, for they believe ini "p)rinter's ink" and would not try to do business without its use. Watch for their fall announcement, and in the meantime if you call on them for any article you can get it at a reasonable price. West Point Appointment. I.
