Tribute of Respect.
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

Ten
Thousand Churches Painted
With L. & M.
There Is not much money lost In
buying one pint of ready mixed paint,
but when a quantity is needed, then
it’s big loss to buy any ready mixed
paint. The Longman & Martinez L.
6 M. 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. Wears and covers like

The Blighting Environment That Of
ten Surrounds Her.
Rev. E. 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.

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:

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

amount to much if there were no peo>

The most spacious store,
the most carefully selected

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.
