*?• SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER. CHRONIC CRANKS. MK. J. K. SMOCK. We all have met people who are con tinually kicking. Life seems a terrible thing to them. They seldom smile. Something dreadful is going to happen, nothing is ever just right, and they worry and fret and complain from morning till night. Their trouble seems to he just a had disposition hut this is seldom so. In most cases there is one of two things the matter with them; cither their nerves or their digestion is responsible. Both come from the same thing—stomach trouble. A man or woman whose nerves are tied in knots is bound to be mighty poor company. The same thing ia true if what they eat don’t digest properly. No wonder they grumble, I don't blame them. I have seen Cooper’s New Discovery change the whole disposition of people in • month's time simply by getting their stomach in shape again. Even the ex pression on their faces was altogether different. The worried, tired, fretful look changed to a peaceful happy expression, and the lines of care disappeared altogether. Many people tell me about this in letters. They seem to think it a miracle. Itis’at. It’s just the stomach working again. Here s a case of this kind: “I suffered with my stomach for thirteen years. Nothing I ate seemed to digest. I also had chronic constipation, and was tired, dull, irritable and despondent all the time. I found it difficult to attend to my duties as traction agent at this place.'’ “Six different doctors treated me and all gave different opinions.” “I began taking Cooper’s New Discov ery, and to my surprise it helped me from the first. I have gained ten pounds in three weeks and am feeling fine. My work now is a pleasure, where before it was drudgery.” J. R. Smock, Cicero, Indiana. e sell the Cooper medicines. GAFFNEY DRUG CO.

Pub n Gaffney Ledger June 21 and 28 and July 5 and 19, 1907. Los Angelos. Cal., June 30.—In this •ernion, appropriate to the nation's 1)irthday. tin* preacher recalls the events that have contributed to our country’s great ness and traces the Di vine hand guiding its destinies. The text is Psalm Ixxvii, 11. “Surely I will remember thy wonders of old.” During the coming week we celebrate our birth as a mition. Our topic this morning, therefore, should be patriotic. The text 1 have clKisen invites us to reminiscence, and the reminiscence need not bo limitod to our own lives. Like our famous writer, Edward Ever ett Hale, our thoughts may well in elude “The Memories of a Hundred Years.” That lionk deals, for the most part, with the youthful history of this nation. When 1 think of the Rev olutioiiary war and the signing of the ] teolarat ion of Independence and the forming of the constitution of the Unit ed States and the political supremacy of Washington's government. I always think of our government as a new born baby in its swaddling clothes. Hut when I think of the government of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe and the great causes which led up to our civil war I think of the boyhood and young manhood of our country. It is about this development of our govern ment that I would like to speak today. Such a theme should offer us a wide scope for a national sermon. As I read that interesting book the fact which forced itself upon me was that in the beginning of the last cen tury the complete unification of the United States government had not been established. Ur. Hale well said: “(tn the 1st of January. ISbl. the United States was a belt on tin* Atlan tic seaboard of thirteen poor and weak communities, occupying territory which hardly ran back more titan l."»0 miles from the ocean. They bad united themselves, hui they did not know that they were a nation. Even the states men of tliat day would have written. *The United States an* ready’ or ‘are prepared.’ while an oliicer of ours to day would say. ‘The United States is ready’ or ‘is prepared.'” In other words, though the constitutional con vention which formed the original thirteen colonies into a federation had assembled in IJs?. yet up to tin* latter part of John Adams’ administration the different states still thought the central goven ment was of minor ini portance and that tin* state legislatures had more power than the national con gress. I kia*w tills fact was true of the be ginning of George Washington's ad ministration. but I did not think it was so clear down through John Adams’ term. When the first president was Inaugurated in New York city, it was almost impossible for him to get strong men to take positions under the United States government. In the United States government today tin* most im portant position next to the presidency Is that of chief justice of the supreme court of the United States. Yet John Jay. the first chief justice of the United States supreme court, resigned his seat In order to be a candidate for governor of New York. In which contest he failed. Washington had the hardest work to obtain projier men for his cab inet. John Marshall, who afterward became tin* great chief Justice of the United Staves supreme court, refused the position of attorney general, pre ferring to remain a memtier of the Vir ginla state senate. As an illustration of the low esti mate placed on positions in the Unit ed States government hi the !>eglnnina of the lust century we find De Witt Clinton, a United States senator from New York in isul, resigning ids posl tion in Hie United States senate in or dor to become tin* mayor of New York city, ('an you dream of anything that would be more incomprehensible to tin* statesmen of the pri**i*nt day? The idea our early statesmen had of the union of tin* states seems to have been that of a bond but little closer than an alliance such as might bind two friend ly European countries. But as they cann* to realize tlmt the union was one ! pie have now learned that the United 1 States is a nation. Another fact which forcibly struck me in Dr. Hale’s autobiography was ; the immense amount of unoccupied land which the United States govern ment possessed which had not then beeu explored and which the leading statesmen dtd not i*xpe<\ to utilize for i a century at least to co ne. They took possession of this Ian 1 not liecause they wanted It, but because they were afraid somebody else might want it. and then there would be two nations upon the American shores instead of one. Not even the prime movers in tiie I/ouisiana purchase had any true conception of the great national bar gain. “So little did Livingston know what he was d'ling." writes Dr. Hale, “that in tin* letter in which hi* announced to ITo-iideiit Jefferson Napoleon's amaz ing offer and his own conclusion of the great purchase tie says. ‘I have told them that we should not send an emi grant across the Mississippi in Kmi years’” So little did the government know of the region it had purchased that President Jefferson, a short time after T/iuistana had been ceded to our government, had to send out the Clark and Lewis expedition to find out what kind nf a region it was and whether tin* people could live there at all. And one of the chief reasons, wrote Dr. Halo, why the New England states op posed the Louisiana purchase was lie- cause their own population was so meager and they were afraid Unit this new region of the far west might draw some of tlieir people away and leave , Hie farms of tin* New England valleys untilled. In other words, what T wish to snow is that the great west, which came Into our possession during the earlier part of tin* last century, was not only undesired land, but that God forced it upon an unwilling people In order to work out the destiny which he had for it to do. The American people as a nation have had greatness thrust upon them. While God was laying the foundation of this future greatness in its great landed territo ries the American people, from Presi dent Jefferson down, were almost unanimous in their vehement protest. The Guidance of Providence. If it wen* not for the fact that 1 be lieve the Lord God of the hosts of Moses and Joshua is guiding this ua tio%, l would say Unit tiie acquisition of our great territories was nothing hut a long scries of haphazard luck. The way we bec.-nne possessed of Lou isiana w as as undcsianed and unsought as is our present possession of the Philippines. When the Spanish Anicr ican war broke out. most people hud never heard of Hie Philippine Islands. Admiral Dewey, with his fleet, was ordered from ('hinese harbors. Where could he go except to Manila’.' Then, after we took Manila, we were in the [Misition of Abraham Lincoln's hunter holding on to the tail of a running bear. Ib* was afraid to bold on and equally afraid to lot go. Most of us today do not want the Philippines. The American army otlieors and navy officers do not want them. But how- can we unload tin* burden? God has thrust them on us. and for the present we must keep them. So God in the beginning of tin* last century thrust the great Louisiana territory upon us. ! Our forefathers did not want the h.ud. and yet they were afraid to refuse it. Such was the condition of the Ameri can people during the occupancy of the White House by President Thomas | Jefferson. But with their wonderful background of unlimited, unexplored laud, about ' which tin* people knew but little and cared less. Dr. Hale introduces us to two men who were so to aid in the national development as to render this great heritage of territory a national necessity. These two American patri ots were not warriors. Neither had ever unsheathed a sword. They were not wizards of the pen, like Washing ton Irving "r like James Fouimore Coojier. who did for the Indian wig wam what the romantic Sir Walter Scott did for the Scottish moors. They were not silver tongued orators, like Harrison Gray <>Hs or Pinckney or Wil liam Wirt. They were simple meehan les and inventors. They were humble men, tmt they were social revolution ists. The name of the one hero was Robert 1’ultoii, that of the other Eli Whitney. They each presented a price less gift. Ou<* gave to America the steamboat, tin* other tin* cotton gin. With those two gifts these* two gen iuses revolutionized tin* map of the new world. Before tlie>e two men came upon the* seem* tie* history of the American . for mutual strength and protection tin importance of the central federation people was mainly tin* history of many | FOimHONEMDVR Cures Coldsi Prevents Pneumonia DeWItt’s « Salve For Piles, Burns, Sores* E lectric B i L w^ u BITTERS ANJ) S kIDSKSS. FOLEYSHONEY^TAR stops tli • cough cad hosts Image DR.KIM'S NEW DISCOVERY Will Surely Slop That Coiflh. assumed greater proportions. And so my brothers, as we thank God today i that the United States government has grown into a eolieMve unity we should not lie bitter or harsh in our criticism of those statesmen who in ISO! still believed that the single commonwealth was supreme. John Calhoun’s ad rvocacy of state sovereignty was tho natural sequence of the thought, which was almost universally prevalent when Thomas Jetl'erson beeiijne president, that the United States was a confed eracy of seventeen coumtonwealtbs rather than a single government of which Hu* different states were only integral parts. The State Sovereignty Idea. So universal was the idea of state, sovereignty in Washington's time that when the first president made his fa mous tom* of the New England states j the governor of Massachusetts at first] refused to tail upon George Washing J ton when he came to Boston. He prae j tlcaliy said, ‘*1 hold as Indepi ndent n position as tiie president, and he must. come to me before I go to him.” Mark 1 you, this action of the governor was not In South Carolina or ir Georgia or in the “black telt” of Mbslsslppt, but I in old Massachusetts, the home of Gar Vtaon and Wendell Phillips. The p«o different localities. Each locality, to a Subscribe for The Ledger. 91 a year. great extent, existed independently of i every other locality. The men for the most part dressed in homespun. The* women darned their children’s stock lugs, wove their own garments and made their own rag carpets. No man i could make money off tin* communities j in other parts <>f the land, because the cost of transportagon would eat up all the profits. "The reader of today | hardly remembers,” writes Dr. Hale,, “that then* were times when the mar ket cost of a bushel of corn was spent when It had to Ik* carried forty miles. As late as 1K3II I heard the jest which} ridiculed an emigrant from Massa chusetts by saying that be left his 1 home a year before to go west with u Jug of molasses to use in trade and | that he returned,at the end of the year; of adventure, having made enough In bargaining to pay him for the Jug.” When fls* man of one state had to | carry his goods to another state by ; wagon and horse, the cost of transpor-; tatlun obliterated all the profit, and; thus communities in tike tieginning of | the last century lived almost entirely Independent of each otlter. Fulton’s Invention. But one day Robert Pulton lifted hi* magic wand Then the “chu-chu-ebn” of the steamboat was heard. Then the Mississippi and tin* Ohio and the Hud son and all the great rivers of our country became blackened with smoke. Then the emigrants of tl t* east went west. Then the merchandise and the foodstuffs were carried from one part of the land to the other. Then Eli Whitney lifted his magic wand, and the southern planters carried their great bales of cotton down to the wharfs. There they were loaded upon Robert Fulton's steamboats and car rled to the New England factories. Thus, as if by magic, the industries of one part of our country damped hands with those of other parts of our coun try. and our great forests were cut dowu, and villages and towns and cities sprang up. Thus the two mightiest nation builders of the lie- ginning of the last century were not two statesmen, but two inventors, who made It possible for the Industries of our country to be deveIo|H*d and our lands to be covered with the tmsy hives of human life. Thus I want you In this great notion al holiday to realize that the greatest men of our nation are not the soldiers, though who dare speak one word against tin* men of the sword and of the gun, who won us our national lib erties and protected us when we were in danger? They are not the states men. although the pens of Livingston and of Adams and of Jay have drawn for us the map of this western repule lic But they are the heroes of civil life. They an* the farmers and the manufacturers. They are the builders of onr great railway systems, and the educators In our schools of technology, and the developers of the brain and the moral stamina. They are the men. like I’ulton and Whitney, who teach us how to live and how to make the most of onr life. And yet. strum** to say. while Robert Uulton and Eli Whitney in America were revolutionizing the map of the new world James Monroe, the American secretary of state, sneer- itvgly said to the French minister: “People in Europe suppose ns to be merchants, occupied exclusively with pepper ami ginger. They are much de ceived, and 1 hope we slmll prove it. The immense majority of our citizens do not belong to this class, and we are controlled as much as you Europeans Ity principles of honor and dignity. I never knew what trade was, and the president is as much a stranger to it as I.” Do you wonder that Edward Everett Hale repudiated the slur upon the indirect results of the life work of Fulton and Whitney? And. my friends, shall we who know how much honest labor has Iwtd to do with making this nation what it Is—are we today to de spise Hu* calloused hand of the laborer and the honest toiler in the nation’s industries? What Defeated Adams. Another impressive truth emphasized by our author which many of us pro fess to know, but which most of us need reminding <>f, is how little things inevitably decide the policies of tiie men who control the destinies of the nation. As the failing of a stone may change the course of a running brook, insignificant tilings may change the course of our lives, and they do con tinually change them. Dr. Hale tells us that one of the great causes of John Quincy Adams’ defeat for the presi dency was Hie fact that he had intro duced a billiard table Into the White House. Many things less than a bil liard table have decided the careers of the world’s greatest men. Study the life of Abraham Lincoln. H<Sw many little things decided that career! Take him, for instance, when he was a little boy of eleven years of age, falling Into a deep jkioI In the creek and nearly drowning and only saved by the presence of mind of a boyhood companion not as large as himself, who extended a stick to him and pulled him out when he was about to go down for the last time, or take that other most remarkable incident of Lincoln's life, when, after his defeat for re-election to congress in 184CL he turned his face homeward without a dollar in his pocket. Ills law practice was gone. His political |)osltlon was gone. Evertbing seemed to be against him. At this critical moment Presb dent Janes K. Polk offered him the governsldp of the territory of Orogem Supposing he had accepted that posi tion, as he nearly did. what would have happened to us as a nation? When tin* ehil war broke out, would Lincoln have been standing in Edward Dickinson Baker’s shoes as tiie Unite 1 States senator from Oregon? Might not William II. Seward or S. P. Chase have been delivering the inaugural ad dress as president of the United States in VSbl? Had the great forensic foe of Douglas been removed from the stra tegic battleground of Illinois, what would have been the outcome of our civil strife? These are mighty ques ttons, and yet these are nil dependen' upon the “yes" or “no” which Abra ham Lincoln gave to President James K. Polk in IMP In reference to the governorship of the far away Oregon territory. And then as l delve into the aut biogr ijihv.-H r. collect ions of Dr. Hah and into the life stories of other Amer leans I earn >t but read strange sign* of the times a> I loiter by the tomb stone» of sum* of the nation’s many men who died in youug manhood. 1 cannot but say to myself. “What would have been the history «f this country bad the brillliwit elder brother of Ralph Waldo Emerson lived?

You know just what you are paying for and that the ingredients are gathered from Nature’s laboratory, being ■elected from the most valuable native medicinal roots found growing in our American forests and while potent to cure are perfectly harmless even to the most delicate women and children. Not a drop of alcohol enters into their composition. A much better agent Is used both for ex tracting and preserving the medicinal principles used in them, viz.—pure triple- refined glycerine. This agent possesses Intrinsic medicinal properties of its own. being a most valuable anti-septic and anti- ferment, nutritive and soothing demul cent. Glvcorine plays an important part In Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery In the enre of indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stomach, attended by sour risings, heart-burn, foul breath, coated tongue, poor appetite, gnawing feeling in svun- ach. biliousness and kindred derange ments of the stomach, liver and bowels. Resides curing ail the above distressing ailments, the "Golden Medical Discovery” is a specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes, as catarrh, whether of the nasal passages or of the stomach, bowels or pelvic organs. Even in its ulcerative stages it will yield to this sovereign rem edy if its use be persevered in. In Chronic Catarrh of tiie Nasal passages, it is well, while taking the "Golden Medical Dis covery” for the necessary constitutional treatment, to cleanse the passages freely two or three times a day with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. This thorough course of treatmant generally cures the wor»t cases. In coughs and hoarseness caused by bron chial. throat and lung affections, except con sumption in its advanced stagt;*, tiie “Golden Medical Discovery” is a most efficient rem edy, especially in those obstinate, hang-on coughs caused iiy Irritation and conge.stion of the bronchial mucous membranes. Tbe* Dis covery ” is not so good for acute cough* aris ing from sudden colds, nor must it be ex pected to cure consumption in its advanced ■tages—no medicine will do that—but for ^11 the obstinate, chronic coughs, which, If neg lected, or badly treated, lead tip to consump tion. it Is the best medicine that can be taken.

St. Paul’s admonition did not stand in the way of the Unitarian peo pie of Leicester when they chose tbe Rev. Gertrude von Fetzold as a spirit ual leader and teacher.” In describing the woman preat’her the writer says: “She is youug and slender, of aristo cratic bearing, whose unusual loveli ness immediately fascinates those who meet her. Several years ago she of ficiated at the funeral of her father. Captain von Petzold, with the consent of the Berlin church authorities, al though the nobility pronounced tbe proceeding highly improper. She has many friends among the Berlin clergy, who are all billing to allow her to preach a sermon In any church, bat her desire to be allowed to conduct a regular church service has not been gratified, and It Is doubtful whether the consistory will ever consent, but her work is breaking the way for women’s work in the church in Germany.” An Amarican Meerschaum Mine.
