Success of the Home Saloon In Chicago.
Takes the Place of Whisky Dive.
The Right Rev. Samuel Fallows,
D. D., LL. D., is enthusiastic over the
temperauco saloon established in Chi
cago. In a letter to the New York
Voice, ho says of it:
The Home saloon and temperance cafe
at 155 Washington street, Chicago, after
several months’ trial, is meeting with
the success that the most sanguine could
have anticipated. It was begun in a
basement, in the heart of the city, and
before the transformation was effected
it was a typical basement Chicago
saloon. Hundreds of these saloons are
in basement stories. Within the busi
ness district where our temperance sa
loon is situated there are nearly 1,000
whisky and beer saloons.
Although our temperance saloon is in
a basement, long and somewhat low, it
has been lightened up and made attract
ive by a largo number of pictures and
mirrors. The policy has been to give
the very best lunch possible with the
temperance drinks, and in no other
place in Chicago can so good a meal bo
obtained for 10 cents.
It is found that a largo number of
persons who have frequented saloons at
tend the Home saloon and are satisfied
with the temperance beer or beverage
which is dispensed there as a special
feature. When this pure beverage of
hops and malt, unfermented and abso-
utely nonalcoholic, was first manufac
tured, it was baptized by the press in
different places as “bishop’s beverage”
or “bishop’s beer.” In order to protect
the name from use by nefarious persons,
it was taken and protected as a trade
mark. It is manufactured under con
tract with one of the most responsible
firms of Chicago, the W. H. Purcell
company, which guarantees its purity
In every particular. It would bo liable
in heavy damages if a fermented and
alcoholic substance were foisted upon us.
The beverage is used by a vast num
ber as a tonic, and has the hearty com
mendation of the medical fraternity.
After the lunch hour is over the tables
are cleared for reading and writing and
the playing of innocent games. The
manager speaks with great delight of
this use of the room by young persons.
a high-toned Christian gentleman.
It would be almost impossible to rec
ommend him above his abilities, for
they are great and his influence is
wonderful.
Rev. R. J. Tate preached the clos
ing sermon of our meeting last
Thursbay evening Irom the Ifith
chapter and 23th, verse of Proverbs.
This was one of his most noble ser-
5 mons, he fairly made the house and
its inmates tremble with fe .r and
grief. Bro. Tate is a man after God’s
own heart, for ho will weep with you
in your house of distress. He will
faithfully reprove you to your face
for actions for which others are ridi
culing and censuring you behind
your back. He will dare to stand
forth in your defence when detraction
is secretly aiming its weapon at your
reputation. He will acknowledge
you with the same cordiality and
behave to you with the same
friendly attention in the company of
your superiors in rank and fortune
as wl en claims of pride do not inter
fere with those of friendship. If
misfortune and loss should oblige
you to retire into a walk of life in
which you cannot appear with the
same liberality as formerly, he will
still think himself happy in your so
ciety and instead of withdrawing
| himself from an unprofitable eonnec-
lion take pleasure in pl , ITTl's!'lll*
self your friend and cheerfully as
sist you to support the burden of
your afflictions. When sickness
shall call you to retire from the busy
world, he will follow you to ^our
gloomly retreat and listen with atten
tion to your talc of suffering, and he
will administer the balm of consola
tion to your fainting spirit. And
lastly when death shall burst asun
der every earthly tie, he will shed a
tear upon your grave and lodge the
dear reinemberance of your mutual
friendship in his heart. Bro. Tate
has the eye of a hawk, the swiftness
of an eagle and a spirit liken unto
Christ. He is just this kind of a
man, and I earnestly admonish and
i intreat the brethren at Macadonia to
I grapple him to their hearts with
| hooks of steel, as one that loves
! their immortal soul,
i Next Saturday September 7th is
the day set apart for the Macadonia
people to elect their pastor for an
other year, and I do hope that the
brethren and sisters will turn out in
lull force and give R.
hearty vote, for 1 know he
more like he was at home if he could
get the voice of the wholy church.

Clarence, S. C., Sept., 2.—There
was a mad dog in our section this
week—at least it was supposed to be
mad. It hit Mr. Johnson’s dog and
one of T. E. Atkin’s hogs. Eber
Johnson killed it, so there is one dog
less, whether it was mad or no.
A. G. McAllister and wife, of In
man, S. C., passed through our sec

friends and relatives at Norah, S. C.
Ambrose Williams, of Willie, S. C.,
has been very ill for several weeks
with fever, but ho is now convales

Sometimes gr..pes are very costly.
There was a young man named Os
car Clayton in our section who a
short while since had to pay ten dol
lars for the plucking of two bunches
of grapes or be put in jail ten days.
He chose the latter. Oscar is a son
of Nathan Clayton and lives with his
father who lives on C. C. Bearden’s
land. Of course Oscar didn’t think
anything of getting a few grapes “in
his landlord’s vineyard,” and there
would have been nothing done about
about it had it not been that Mr.
Bearden upon seeing him in his vine
yard proceeded to give him a lecture
upon the immorality of the thing,
whereupon Oscar g‘ vo him in return
“a regular genuine backwoods cus
sin’,” and also the fact that Mr.
Clayton and Mr. Bearden were not
on friendly terms with each other.
Mr. Clayton has retaliated by prose
cuting Mr. Bearden for throwing
rocks at his cow, and he says he has
other cases against him that he in

Sold to Eradicate the Drunkard’s Craving
For Whisky.
A man prominent in the affairs of
Dunkirk recently related the following
incident:
“One day, two months after I had
signed the pledge, I had a craving for a
drink of whisky so strong that I could
see nothing elso but drinks about mo
and felt us if I must have at least one
drink. I told a friend of my state of
mind. Ho said: ‘You need not drink.
I can tell you of a substitute that will
stop your discomfort. Get a bowl of ice
water and a raw potato, peel it and cut
down one end of it to a size convenient
to take in the month. Dip the potato in
the ice water and suck it every time
you think you must have the whisky. ’
I' IJ K I ’A U K D i 1 did as ho advised. I took the bowl of
ice water and the potato and placed
them on a table at the bead of my bed
and would dip the potato in the water
and place it between my lips every few
moments till I went to sleep. I awoke
free from any desire to drink whisky
and have been free from it over since.
That one treatment eradicated my crav
ing for whisky for all the time that has

There is a difference between medi
cines and medicines.
Those of to-day, as a rule, differ from
those of the past in many respects.
Fully as great is the difference be
tween Dr. King’s
ROYAL GERMETUER
and the ordinary medicines of to-day.
i It is unlike them in
THESE FIVE THINGS:
1. It does not taste like a medi
cine. It is as pleasant to take as
lemonade and makes a most refreshing
drink.
2. It never nauseates the most
delicate stomach.
3. It does not swap off one dis
ease for another. It does not set up
one form of disease in order to relieve
another as is so often the case.
4. It contains no alcohol or
opium in any form and is always
harmless even when given to a babe
one day old.
5. It docs not patch simply, it
cures. It roaches as nothing else
does to the hidden sources of disease
in the blood and removes the cause. It
does this with an ease and power that
have never been equaled.
For all troubles of the Blood, Stomach,
Bowels. Kidneys and Nerves, and for all forms
of MALARIAL FOISON It stands pre-eminent—
without a rival or a peer.
