John Bell Towill, member of the State hoard of control, and edi tor of the Batesburg Advocate, for a friendly remembrance in the shape of a crate of toothsome peaches The kindness which prompted the gift is duly appreciated. We have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Towill for several years. He is a nobleman among noble men.

Every editor in the State should attend if it reqired the suspen sion of his paper for that week. He would go home feeling bigger, broad er and better for having mingled with his brethren, and, consequently, would be better qualified to serve his patrons. Come, brethren, let us all go and for a few days throw dull care to the winds and have a season of good cheer. Now, don’t let some fel low hop up and say The Ledger said to let us all get “boozy,” for we didn’t say it. » • • The Fourth of July celebration this year promises to be a very nice af fair.

The charges for admission to the athletic games and baseball will be, as usual, nomi nal. In fact there would be no charge whatever, hut it is absolutely impos- sible to get up any kind of entertain ment without some money and the charges are simply to help defray the cost of the celebration. * * • We don’t blieve in the dis pensary because we know It is hurt ful to the people and a menace to pol itics, but we do believe that if the dispensary were under the control of men like Mr. Towill It would make a far better showing than it does.

Let me ask my reader to consult his Bible, with the help of a good con cordance, and to read and compare passages where elder, as a noun, oc curs. He, on consideration of these collated Scriptures, will, I am quite sure, come to the conclusion that age is the standard of personal dignity and the qualification for official re sponsibility in the church in the older as in the present dispensation. See here God’s estimate of experience and character as these two stand related to length of days. But to the immediate purpose of this communication. My contention is that in the mad rush of these lat ter days we are becoming, if we have not already become unmindful of the deference due to the generation of old men, or of those in nascent old age, who are rapidly passing from the stage. I make a plea for the sanity and gravity of their conservative ad vice and opinion in the various lines of thought and action familiar to my readers. To he old does not necessarily mean to he wise. Certainly not. But other things being equal, wisdom is more likely to he found as the result and product of a lengthened expe rience than in the necessary absence of such experience. One may be a Bourbon who forgets nothing and learns nothing. But such is an ex ception and not the rule, and well may be mentioned here to emphasize the fact that we are not to accept the views of one simply and only because he is old and has experience. Only don’t let us reject the views of such a one on the general presumption that he is an old fogy—behind the times, and that for this reason he has lost both his opportunity and fitness to counsel the present generation. I have recently read an article from Mr. Bok, the accomplished editor, in which he explains, if he doesn’t also justify, why young men do not attend church. The gist of the article is that young men did not get anything there worth going after. Not that they would not hear the “old, old story”—the gospel intelligently and pathetically preached. Not that. The fault is found by young America in what is not a fault at all but what is a virtue and constitutes the strength and glory of the pulpit, namely, the old fashioned gospel. We associate this old fashioned preaching with old fashioned preachers—be they elder or younger men. Now the prominent desire of many is for something sen sational in the pulpit—something out of the usual order—something outre. :Piedmont High School The preacher must he a hustler and his preaching must he, well up to | date, whatever that may mean. Now, j all this I write may have an unfamil-! iar sound to my average reader. All will, however, acknowledge that there is a tendency that way.

It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from , there spread throughout the system Y 1 by means of the blood. This fact ex- ** plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease'. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.

The fact is they (who?) are drawing an imaginary dead line—which is to say that after a preacher is a certaain number of years old he is after that no longer wanted; he may he wanted” in the sense of being need- j ed, but not in the sense of being de sired. Surely I have found here an instance and an example of the decay of reverence. One of the most pathetic sights I have ever witnessed—oh! it was piti ful, as well!—was the howling down of a distinguished public servant of our State. He was an aged citizen and was a veteran with the fine rec ord of yeoman services, but that amounted to just nothing when he dared to counsel his fellow-citizens in the spirit of a southron and patriot. Is the strenuous administration of our executive at Washington in keep ing with our just conception of what the national dignity demands? Is it not next akin to a public reproach that the multi-millionaire promoter of sensational yellow journalism should be even mentioned for the presidency by a considerable minority of a groat political party?
