Tell the truth about all things and
at all times, is a mighty good plan,
but it is sometimes difficult for a fel
low to live up to the rule, especially
when he is aware that he hasn’t been
doing just exactly right.

The paragraphers have been get
ting off some mighty spicy things in
regard to the controversy between
the Columbia State and the Columbia
Record in regard to the the water
supply of that city; hut we haven’t
observed that anyone has noted that
the papers have so far refrained from
doing the scuttle-fish stunt.

We are indebted to our esteemed
friend, Col. 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. We believe sin
cerity stamps his every act and we
are proud to he numbered among his
friends.

Interest in baseball around here
seems to he taking on new life The
business men could make no bet
ter investment than a few dollars to
wards the local baseball team. We
are aware that “beezeness is beeze-
ness,” but “a little fun now and then
is relished by the best of men,” and
there is no more healthful or scien
tific amusement than clean baseball.
Help the boys. Remember that you
were once a boy, yourself. It will he

cares of life later on.

The State Press Association meets
at White Stone Lithia Springs July
12-1G. 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. Already several prominent
speakers have accepted invitations to
he present and the program will he
very interesting. We hope every
man, woman and child in Cherokee
will be able to attend. 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. Mr. Towill will use his influ
ence for all that Is good, but we trem
ble with fear because of the evil sur
rounding the dispensary. In the event
that he should not prove strong
enough to inject bis correct ideas in
to the system, the system might pos
sibly inject Its incorrect ideas into
him. This would Indeed he deplor

and the sake of the State, we trust
that he will prove equal to the occa
sion.

ing my remark to one of sex for oh- Surplus fund
vious and deferential reasons, a point, L'udivided profits,
here may confidently he made to one
who is a gentleman and the son of
a gentelman.
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. The

RYDALE'S TONIC
A REAL CURE FOR
IMIjAL.A.IRiIJL.
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.

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? What about the decay
of reverence in the average American

This Always
Tells It.
Read the character of a drug
store in the record of its pre-
scriotion department. All rtiat
a drug store is or does or aims
to do, finds expression there.
The accurate filling of pre
scriptions with drugs of known
purity and at just prices, is the
first and highest mission of a
pharmacy. A large prescrip
tion business is the highest
testimonial a store can have;
it implies confidence on the
part of both public and physi
cian.
Such a business we have. We
want you to benefit by our
splendid service, and we pro
mise to make the price right.
