Spradns Sloan’s Liniment is the best remedy for sprains and bruises. It quiets the pain at once, and can be applied to the tenderest part without hurting because it doesn’t need to be rubbed — all you have to do is to lay it on lightly. It is a powerful preparation and penetrates instantly — relieves any inflammation and congestion, and reduces the swelling. Sloan’s Liniment is an excellent antiseptic and germ killer — heals cuts, bums, wounds and contusions, and will draw the poison from sting of poisonous insects. Price, 25c., 50c., and $1.00.

A veto, used in connection with public acts, is euphemism for another, squelch, kill, etc. Owing to the elab orate system of vetoes which has evolved during a long period of stand ing pat, our country may well be call ed the “veto country.” If a member of congress wishes a bill passed, it may be vetoed by the Speaker, If the Speaker wishes it passed, it may be vetoed by a committee. If the committee wishes it passed, ft may be vetoed by the House. If the House wishes it passed, it may vetoed by the Senate. If the Senate wishes it passed, it may be vetoed by the President. If the President wishes it passed, it may be vetoed by the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court wishes it passed ft may be ignored and thus vetoed by any executive officer into whose hands it may fall. If a bill succeeds in getting through all these safely, ir lb a good bet that it is somOkhing that the peo ple do not want. DANDRUFF.

Mrs. MblUe B. Hawkins, EVANGELISTIC MEETING WILL CLOSE TOMORROW. Thirty-Day Campaign Productive of Good.—Claims Work Surpasses Moody and Others of Note. (Baltimore Star.) Tomorrw will witness the close of the Baptist evangelistic campaign waged the last 30 days in the Bap tist churches of this city. Each church held evening services for two weeks with a noon meeting at the Central Y. M. C- A. The campaign has been marked by the number of those who have started the Christian life and by the accessions to the va- roius churches and to the cfcher de nominations. This revival has been perhaps the greatest in the history of this city. Moody’s revival continued over a per iod of six months or more and 1,000 converts were counted. The u Smith campaign lasted two weeks and 600 were recorded. This cam paign of 28 days has seen the conver sion of over 1,200, and already over 200 have connected themselves with various churches, which represents but a small per cerftage of those who will join later. The evangelists are men who, at the invitation of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Con vention, have left their pastorates and become evangelists. They have the Southern air, the mild speech and the great enthusiasm characteristic of the Southern preacher. Three gamblers have been reclaimed; a score of drunkards have started a new life; one church has more than doubled its membership; families have been re united; church prayer-meetings have increased markedly in their attend- ance and spirit. A great work has been done at the Levering Home in the restoration to fine manhood of men who were in the lower stratum of social and moral life. Eighteen have volunteered for the Christian minis try and to work in foreign lands. The revival has been, says a min ister, like a prairie fire, but with no wild demonstrations whatever. I he warmth has been that of spiritual fire, but no crackling of flames. Quietly, intensely, searchingly the wave of re vival has articulated itself .into every fissure of the prairie grass, and the atmosphere has glowed with i^ 9 fluence. The revival has been char acterized by many as the greatest in the city’s history. Dr. Luther has taken the head, and has preached at the Seventh church and Fral } k “° Square, Dr. Arch C. Cree has been at the Huntingdon church and at North Avenue, Evangelist McComb has preached at Scott Street and Im manuel, Dr. Porter at Fulton Avenue and Lee Street, Evangelist Farly at Riverside and Wilson Memorial and Grace, Dr. Hunt at Brantly and Hamp den. .. Two all-night prayer-meetings have been held at Franklin Square Baptist church. Personal testimony by those who attended declares tn e se meetings to have been of great spirit ual force. One meeting reached the height of 394 id attendance. More than a dozen conversions were report ed at these prayer-meetings. Tonight at the Seventh Baptist church a great social occasion will take place, a reception in honor of the evangelists and converts. It matters not where we may be, on sea or land, we will often, very of ten, find the need of a friend in some way. A man without friends Is the most miserable creature on earth. There can be no doubt of that Fine feathers will never win | true friend for anyone, but it takes a kind heart and a willingness to help in time of need to gain friends. When we see a person overcome with sorrow or disheartened with misfortune, then is the time for us jto prove our friend ship by being charitable or speaking encouraging words to him. Then again, it is our difty to be especially kind and friendly to the old people of the country. Those whose forms are bent with age and hair that is streaked with silvery threads are the ones that supported and bore the burdens of our government and our society and made our country what it is. It is the dirty of the young generation to be respect ful and kind to them and never mis treat them in any way. “The earth can boast of no purer tie, no brighter gem, no jewel of a lovelier dye, than friendship’s diadem.” Edna. THE ’POSSUM SONG. (Rendered at the Taft Banquet by Or. James W. Lee.) ’Possum meat am good to ea't, Care him ter de heart; You’ll find him nice and sweet. Carve him ter de heart; De dog did bark and I went out ’ter see Carve him ter do heart ! Dar was a’ possum in dat tree, Carve him ter de heart! Chorus. Carve dat ’possum, Carve dat ’possum, chilluns, Carve dat ’possum. Oh, carve him ter de heart! I reached up to fetch him in, Carve him ter de heart! The ’possum he began to grin, Carve him ter de heart! I carried him home and I dressed him off. Carve him ter de heart! Hang him up dat nighht in de fros’—• Carve him ter de heart! De way ter cook de ’possum done, Carve him ter de heart! Is parboil him and bake him brown, Carve him ter de heart! Put sweet pertaters In de pan, Carve him ter de heart! De sweetest eatin’ in de lan’, Care him ter de heart! An Easy Task to Cure It When You Know How. There are three kinds of dandruff cures: Good dandruff cures. Bad dandruff cures. And plain liquid junk. The first, is good 'to put on the head; the second is good to keep off the head; and the third is good to flush out the sewer. The owners of good dandruff cures say our remedy will cure in two weeks or money back. The owners of bad dandruff cures guarantee nothing, but spend their money howling fake at the good dand ruff cures, which policy they consider is a clever method of enticing the shekles for the unwary. Parisian Sage is a good dandruff cure. It is guaranteed by ihe Gaffney Drug Co. to cure dandruff, stop fall ing hair and itching scalp in two weeks or money back. It kills the dandruff microbes, It promotes a new growth of hair, it makes hair soft and luxuriant, and is without doubt the most pleasant and invigorating hair dressing made to day. To every reader of The Ledger, both man and woman, we want to say these few words; If you have tried - other dandruff cures, hair restorers, and have fail ed to receive any benefit from them, don’t give up hope, try Parisian Sage at our risk. The Gaffney Drug Co. will sell you a large bottle for 50 cents with a money back guarantee if it does nefc do as advertised.

And now we have something lo say in regard to true friendship. There is no word written in the English language that has a greater and deep er meaning than the word friendship. People sometimes speak of it as only a common meaning and think very little about ft but true and heartfelt friendship is one of the greatest things in '.his life. It is said there are few things that gold cannot buy, but true friendship comes to us by our own feelings and is one thing that the al mighty dollar cannok affect or pur chase. We often speak of certain persons being true and good friends to us; that is, we believe them to be. Yet when ft. comes to a test we find that they were not what we thought, and did not prove to be friends. “A man 'that hath friends must show him self friendly;” and “there is a friend that stlcketh closer than a brother.” Mo says the Proverbs. And again in another place it says this: Tbine own friends forsake thou not.” To win vhe friendship of people we must prove ourselves to bp friends. A true friend is one we can trust wtth anything, even life itself. How price less is the encouraging or cheerful words of a good friend, or his help and assistance in time of need? It is better than the riches of any man. An old saying is that “a friend in need is a friend Indeed” and a truer saying was never utterd. A sincere friend is not only one who passes and repasses friendly with us er speaks pleasantly, but is one who will sympathise and speak cheering words to ns when our aching hearts are stricken with grief. Opportunity. They do me wrong who say I come no more When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside your door, And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win. Wail not for precious chances passed away. Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Each night I burn the records of the day; At sunrise every soul is born again, * Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb, My judgments seal the dead past with fts dead, But never bind a moment yet to come. Tho’ deep in mire wring not your hands and weep, I lend my arm to all who say “I can! ” No shamefaced outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man. Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast? Dost reel from righteous retribu tion’s blow? Then turn from blotted archives of the past And find the future’s pages white as snow. Art thou a mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell; Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives the wings to flee from hell, Each night a start to guide thy feet to heaven. dbfc, MeKeUtib “Do you know of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Comp pound?” If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write and ask her. Houston, Texas.—“ When I first began taking Lydia XL Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia XL Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. “ My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. “I advise all women suffering from such troubles to giv Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They wont regret it, for it will surely cure you."—Mrs. Bessie L. Hich% 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks. C. A. Lyerly, from Highland Park No. 3, Charlotte, is now numbered with vhe loom fixers at the Cabarrus Mill, Concord. Kitty’s Resolution. (Detroit Free Press.) Kitty’s sworn off kissing, Sworn off kissing me; Thingk of what I’m missing Bliss that used to be. Once I dwelt in clover, Now my life is bare; New leaf she’s turned over, Kitty, ’tisn’t fair. Kitty’s sworn off kissing, What a thing to do! Think of all I’m missing, Not a kiss or two. Not a kiss in parting, Not a greeting rare! Oh, my heart is smarting, Kitty, ’tisn’t fair. Kitty’s sworn off kissing, Year so young and bright; All the joy is missing. Day is turned to night. Wonder when she sees me, Will her vows remain; Wonder when she sees me, Or kiss me once again? The Woman’s Home. The L. & M.
