Resolutions passed by Miss Acker man's class, Sunday school First Bap tist church, Greenville, S. C.: YY’hereas, it has pleased almighty God in His infinite wisdom to remove from our midst our devoted comrade and esteemed fellow-classman, Vance Gault, whose Christian character we had learned to admire, and whose noble example we shall strive to fol low: and whereas, his genial disposi tion, spirit of loyalty and generosity, and transparent character have im pressed upon us ideals of sincerity, charity and faithfulness of gallant young manhood, as to he now an in future a source of inspiration and grateful memory. Therefore be it Resolved, 1. That as our heads are bowed in grief we shall of His divine dispensation say: “Thy will, O Lord, he done.” Resolved, 2. That we, the members of Miss Ackerman’s Sunday school class, of the First Baptist church, rec ognizing the exemplary life of our departed friend and brother, do take tliis opportunity of expressing our deep and profound grief. Resolved, 3. That we extend to the bereaved family our tenderest sympathy in this their hour of great attliction. Resolved, 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his parents, to the Furman Echo, The Baptist Cou rier, The South Carolina Baptist and the Gaffney Ledger, and that a page In our minute book he dedicated to memory.

Paint is scml-rolxed, and quickly made ready for use as follows: to four gallons of the L. & M. at $1.66 per gallon, add 3 gallons of Linseed Oil at 60 cts. per gallon, thus making 7 gallons of paint for $3.10 or $1.16 per gallon.

Alston Wilkes in The South ern Christian Advocate. She was horn in adverse circum stances. There was no tide nor for tune in her favor. The cradle that held the tiny babe was rocked upon I the hard uncarpeted surface of the ! cottage floor, and there was that pinching poverty from early infancy and childhood that conjured up the pathway of life as one of hard beaten road of drudgery, not a way of pleas antness, nor a path of peace, hut a big, broad way down whose gloomy passage many sore and weary feet in this world are traveling today. At an early age, in that sensitive, formative period when the tender ten drils of the soul reach out after sym pathetic support and congenial guid ance, she was placed in the big mill and passed her youthful hours at the looms midst the hum of machinery and the dust and din of the factory room. I’ve noticed her in the new dress becomingly attired on Satur day afternoons when the big wheels | of the mill had stopped for rest, seat ed in her humble cottage home on the hillside overlooking the cotton mill. A few blooming flowers carefully tended not far from the cottage gate, and morning glories clambered about the door. Her face is fair to look up on. though lacking in animated ex pression, often dull and too dreamy. There is an arched eybrow, Grecian nose, dimpled chin, and the sad brown | eyes. The tone of her voice is not musical, somewhat harsh and cracked. And I have said, here is a beautiful harp God has given the world, purposed by nature and His hand to awaken such a symphony in this discordant sphere below that an gels over the parapets of heaven would stoop to admire. But the strings are all out of tune and the un skilled hands that might have waked to ecstacy the living lyre lie power less and useless. 1 think one among the saddest sights in this world is tiie undeveloped resources of a hu man soul. “Full many a gem of purest ray se rene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear.” I have seen this poor child of the looms with her heart all crushed and bleeding, and the special cause to which 1 allude is becoming painfully common. The murderous hand, un checked and unrestrained, is becom ing more emboldened and the de vastating destructive work can lie seen in many of the factory towns in this land of ours—the plighted love forsworn, the conjugal vow broken, and the separation. Rather, as often the case, desertion follows. In one small factory village I could count four or five wife deserters. It is dis tressing sometimes to read that im portant document, the grand Jury’s report: “We have visited the jail and the poor house, and found them clean and well kept,” etc., and from within pistol shot of bench and bar, over in the factory village, green-visaged bigamy thrives. The other day I saw her, the deserted factory girl. “Are you married?” “Yes, sir,” she re plied, and the sad story began—a story that can he heard in Lancaster, Rock Hill, Spartanburg, and the other big mill towns. “I was married in April, IfklO, at Cowpens, by the Rev. , of the Baptist church, to Mr. , a young man who treated me well for a time. But af ter a while he began to abuse me, and when I got so I could not work in the mill with him he became worse, and one day he sent my father word, who was working in a distant mill, to come and get me, and he left me.” “Where is he now?” said I “I don’t i know, sir,” she replied. “He married again—a girl, I think, in Glendale, in 1902.” This is not an unusual case, this instance of ruin and wreck but ! one of the many matrimonial infidel ities I have known in this moral State that boasts of the fact that no divorce law is written in her hook of stat utes. Some time since, in one of our fac tory villages, my attention was sadly directed to an instance of parental cruelty and neglect involving a young blooming girl, the daughter of an old sour sinner whose nature had been so debased as to all but destroy the natural affection implanted in every father’s breast: “Papa, I just can’t work in the mill today: my head hurts so, and I feel sorter dizzy like when I stand on my feet. Let me stay out till tomorrow, and maybe I will get better.” “Yes, you shall work today,” said the father. “You have got to eat. and you have got to work. Get out of here ; and go, or you know what you will git if 'you stay.” The father generally of the factory girl is not a fine type of the industrl- ] ous citizen. There are many excep tions, I am glad to state, hut as a general rule the old man has gone far from original righteousness, and his relation to the world might he termed an agricultural superannuate. He sometimes cuts stovewood, holds out the cow on grassy knolls, always eats three times a day, loafs around the "company’s” store and is promptly on hand “pay day” to draw the chil dren’s wages. And when the drink- 1 ing habit is added to the other at tainments of this elderly gentleman of leisure, which is not infrequently the case, you have in view before you a most pronounced and a most con spicuous gray-hairod nuisance. This old felolw ot whom I specially allude had a reputation. The neighbors knew him, and over heard harshest words in his home, addressed to his children, and the cruel curses and often bodily chas tisement was inflicted by his tyrani- cal hands. He seems to have been one of those child, wifebeaters who has walked the free earth so far un molested. The woman he was living with was not his lawful wife, and like all adulterous husbands, he i proved the tyrant to the offspring of her whom ho had deserted and di vorced from bed and hoard, ed from bed and hoard. The day was a long, weary one to the fair and faint factory girl, hut she kept steadily to her work with sad heart and aching brow. The kind “super,” seeing her enfeebled con dition .advised her to stop work, go FOR SYSTEMIC CATARRH Peculiar to Summer Pe-ru-na Gives Prompt and Permanent Relief. O. R. Rhoads, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: “For the past two years I have hardly known what It was to haye a «WMt, restful night’s sleep. Cares and overwork seemed to weigh me down more than it should or would had I been able to get my proj>er rest. ^Iy doctor was unable to help me and ordered me South for a complete restand change. As this waa simply out of the question, and as 1 had heard several of tiie men under me speak of how much Peruna had helped them, I decided to try it and am glad indeed that I did. Six bottles made a new man of me. I eat well, sleep well and get up feel ing refreshed and rested. “My official duties are not half so hard and I certainly have good reasons tfl Loartily endorse Peruna.”—C. S. Rhoads. CS-Rhoads A Prominent Business Man of Indianapolis Re store d to health and Vigor by Pe-rn na. He says: “Pe*ru-na made a New Man of Me.” Judge Wm. T. Zenor, of Washington, D. C., writes from 213 K. Capital street, Washington, I). C.: “ I take pleasure in saying that I can cheerfully recommend the use of Peruna as a remedy for catarrhal trouble and a most excellent tonic for general condi tions.”—Wm. T. Zenor Mrs. Amanda Morrill, 130 Reid street, Elizabeth, N. J., writes: “ I have been sick over two years with nervous prostration and general debil ity, and heart trouble. Have had four doctors; all said that I could not get well. I had not walked a step in nine months, suffering with partial paralysis and palpitation of the heart every other day, and had become so reduced in flesh as to he a mere skeleton, weighing only 85 pounds. “ Up to this date I have taken Peruna for seven r onths. It has saved my life home and rest. “No,” said she, “if 1 go home, papa will beat me and drive me back.” A few days after she lay tossing upon her bed with a burning fever. The physician conside a d it a hopeless case, as certain di /elop- ments, brought on by continued hard service and exposure, placet his young patient beyond the hope of recovery and medical skill. The dying girl in the delirium that ensued would talk wildly about the work in the mill, and in her feverish itnagi- I nation she was again toiling at the looms. “Ah, there is the whistle blowing! Don't ye hear it? 1 1 must work today. We must be going. Where is my bonnet? We must go. There now the whistle blows again—just 15 minutes! Oh, hurry!” There was a struggle and a gasp or two, and the spirit of the poor girl gently passed away. Erect some simple slab of modest marble over her grave and to the passerby tell this sad story: Born in 1886 Died from parental cruelty and neg lect in 1904 Few and and unhappy were the days of Leila “She gave to misery—’twas all she had—a tear; She gained from heaven—’twas all she wished—a friend.” Rock Hill, S. C. as lean safely testify. / have not felt so well In five years, having walked over one mile without HI result, and have also gained thirty pounds sines commencing to take Peruna. In fact, I cannot praise it too highly.”—Mrs, Amanda Morrill. Peruna never falls to prevent systemlo catarrh or nervous prostration if taken in time. Peruna is tiie most prompt and permanent cure for all cases of nervous prostration caused by systemic catarrh known to the medical profession. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will ho pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.

Crimson Clover Sown at the last working of the Corn or Cotton Crop, can be plowed under the following April or May in time to plant corn or other crops the same season. Crimson Clover prevents winter leaching of the soil, is equal in fer tilizing value to a good application of stable manure and will wonder fully increase the yield and qual ity of corn or other crops which follow it. It also makes splendid winter and spring grazing, fine early green feed, or a good hay crop. Even if the crop is cut on, the action of the roots and stubble improve the land to a marked de gree.

A case came to light that for per sistent and unmerciful tortue has perhaps never been equalled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Cali., writes: “For 15 years I endured insufferable pain from Rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bit ters and it’s the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble.

The most brilliant gem that waa ever takes from the earth would not amount to much if there were no peo> pie to appreciate its beauty and to vie with each other for its possession. The most spacious store, the most carefully selected stock of goods, the clever est corps of clerks will not avail unless people know about them. Knowledge of such things is spread in various ways. A passerby may drop in and be impressed. He may tell his neighbor, and he in turn may tell somebody else. That is one way, and there are some merchants who today think it is good enough. Modern develop ment, however, has sup plied in newspapers the best means. They go into ev ery home in the land, how ever humble, however mag nificent. Through them all of the information can be supplied, not to one, but to thousands. An you using this Mpcr Is tbs bast id van tag*? ? : ♦ ¥ 4 j i
