The Medicine Costs Nothing.
To unqestionably prove to the peo
ple of Gaffney that indigestion and
dyspepsia Is curable and that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets will effect the
cure, we will furnish the medicine
absolutely free if it falls to give com
plete satisfaction to anyone giving it
a trial.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to
the new and successful method of
manufacture, whereby the well-known
properties of Bismuth, Subnitrate and
Pepsin have been combined with
carminatives and their agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro
fession as speefles for acute indigest

was the best friend the world ever
had. but never for one moment was
He a friend of the world, as here
used.
And what a disappointing friend
ship! Enjoy the pleasures of sin for
a season, and then —? Ah, then!
What awful soul famine! How
empty is the soul that God does not
fill! Hear Robertson of Brighton,
“It is a spectacle for men and angels,
when a man has become old in feel
ing ami worn out before hia time—
know we none such.among our own
acquaintance? Have the young
never seen those aged ones who
stand amongst them in their pleas
ures, almost as if to warn them of
what they themselves must come to
at last? Have they never marked
the dull and sated look that they cast,
upon the whole scene, as upon a
thing they would fain enjoy and can
not? Know you what you have been
looking »n? A sated worldling—one
to whom pleasure was rapture once,
as it Is to you now. Thirty years
more and that look and that place
will be yours; and that is the way
the world rewards Us veterans; it
chains them to it after the lust of

Hear a young man, who Is tired of
the disappointing frk§dshlo of the
world:
o
"I have had my will.
Tasted every pleasure,
I have drunk my fill
Of the purple measure,
Life has lost its zest,
Sorrow Is my quest
O. the lees are bitter, bitter!
Give me rest!
Love once filled the bowl.

But I drank it dry,
Love has passed me by,
O, the lees are bitter, bitter!
Let me die!”
Second. Enemy of God. Friend
ship of the world inevitably means
this too. No middle grpurnd here.
The Holy Spirit prompted James to
write that the friend of the world Is
the enemy of God. and If you are a
friend of the world, that means you.
You—the enemy of God. What a
picture! Man against God. His
weak human powers against the di
vine power of God. Take for ex
ample Belshazzar. DanitH gathered
up all his sin and expressed it ail in
one when he said, “Thou hast lifted
up thyself against the Lord of
heaven.” And in that sentence he
expressed the very o lenco of all sin
—rebellion against Gud. Man choos
ing his own way, refusing to obey the
mandates of his Creator, rebelling
against lawful authority.
If you are not a Christian, you arc
the enemy of Ood, in vour own life,
In frustrating God’s plans and pur-
noses for you and making your life
what God never intended it should
be; and you are His dnemv in the
lives of others, by influencing them
for evil and leading them astray, by
doing what you can to retard the
progress of God’s Kingdom. Oh, the
Decisive Majority Against Establish
ment of Dispensary.
Union, Ort. 27.—Prohibition wins
again in Union county. In the elect
ion held today, with three small box
es still to be heard from, the vote
war strongly in favor of prohibition.
Out of a total vote so far reported of
1,494 there is a majority of 282
against sale. The remaining boxes,
which will not he heard from before
tomorrow, will not materially change
the result, though it will probably re
duce the majority.
The vote today exceeded by several
hundred that polled in the dispen
sary election held on December 27,
1907, but will fall fully a thousand
short of the number of registered
electors. In Union alone 400 who
were registered failed to vote.
In the December election for sale
carried by 11 majority, but that elect
ion was set aside on account of irre
gularities. The prohibition advo
cates. aided by the Rev. Thos. Leitch,
who has labored diligently in that be
half, have waged a hot contest and
are jubilant over their victory. There
seems to have been no organized ef
fort on the part of the pro-dispensary
people, though some work was done.
The election passed off very quietly,
no disorder having been reported.
