THE LEDGER. Tuesday and Friday, Ed. K. DeCamp, Editor and Publisher, A. W. Griffith, Local Editor. NOTES AND COMMENTS. And now comes Colleton with a pe tition to Join the ranks of what our good friend, the Charlotte Observer, is pleased to term the “morally stunt-1 ed.” We will welcome Colleton to the ranks of the “pure in heart.” * • • Say, brethren, without regard to pre vious condition of servitude, get ready to join the press gang at White Stone Springs July 11-14, and, in the lan guage of North Carolina’s most bril liant editor, let us have “a high-heeled time.” * * * Over in North Carolina the Republi cans are going to start a daily news- paner. But they will be obliged to fry a lot of fat out of the Federal office holders to keep it going atfer they get it started. * * * It is worthy of note that ninety per cent, of the press of South Carolina is against the G. M. I. Some of our very best friends are .supporting the “sys tem,” but a large majority are agin it. We wish that every mother’s son in South Carolina could realize what a curse the dispensary is to the com monwealth, for we know that every man who casts a vote would then reg ister his protest at the ballot box. * • • f The Orangeburg Patriot has com pleted its tenth year. In making the announcement it indulges in some par donable shop talk and self-congratula tion. Brother Parks is a first-class fel low and a good newspaper man, and although he is a red hot dispensary advocate “here’s ’oping ’e may see the herror of ’is way and line up to enjoy many years of pleasure, profit and use fulness.” * * * Here is one on us that is too rich to hide. Our good friend Pfeiffer, edi tor of the Blacksburg Chronicle, and also principal of the Blacksburg graded school, came over here and gave us an order to print the com mencement program for his school. One of the numbers on the program was a pantomine entitled “Nearer, My God. to Thee.” In setting it up the in telligent (?) compositor made it read, “Nearer, by God. to Thee,” and in the absence of our very careful proof reader the profane substitute over looked the error. We hasten to assure Brother Pfeiffer and the patrons of his school that it was no purpose of ours to be irreverent, even if the air in this printery does sometimes as sume a sulphuric hue. • * • A week ago yesterday ex-United States Senator John L. Mcl^aurin de livered a speech before the Cotton Growers’ Association of Greenville county. We don’t know what Mr. Mc- Laurin’s opportunities to become ac quainted with the subject have been, but we do believe that if the advice he gave is heeded the farmers of the South will profit thereby. We wish, however, that he had not yielded to the temptation to drag the dispensary sub ject into his speech. We have always admired Mr. McLaurin, and we sincere*, ly believe that he is an advanced thinker on matters of State, but when he, on an occasion like this, yields to the temptation to inject politics into his speech he weakens the cause for which he is sneaking and gives his en emies an opportunity that they are looking for. We agree with all , ’ rt said in regard to the dispensary, but, in our judgment, he should have said it in a speech against the dispensary. In other words, he should have di vorced his con-dispensary utterances from his cotton growers’ speech—but we had;almost forgotten that there is no divorce law in this State. —Men’s Garters, Suspenders and handkerchiefs at R.

The Ideal breeding place for dis- lase germs is a weak stomach and ligestive system. The food, instead )f being assimilated, turns Into a >our, slimy, fermenting mass, causing sases. distress after eating, bloating, tiausea and flatulency. The poisonous germs that are given off from this undigested food enter the blood, and pimples, bolls, and blotched skin is the result. Nervousness and sleep lessness come more often from weak- ened digestion than from any other pne cause. No ordinary food digestive can give lasting relief. It is absolutely nec essary, If one wishes to be well, to use Mi-o-na, the only known remedy that soothes and heals the mucous membrane of the stomach and diges tive tract, stimulates the solar-plexus and strengthens the nerves of the stomach.
