'BROTHEU BOB" ON DISPENSARY. He Rejoices That Light Has Broken Upon His Fiieud, Sam Jenes. Fountain Inn, May 21st. ? Kuitor Advertiser: l am glad to seo that Rev. Sam P. Jones has eome squarely to his sense* on tho dispen sary question at last. You will send Brother Sam a copy of this issue as he will be dollghtod to know that he has become enlightened ami roformeel ami fully civilised. Brother Sam is a splen did fellow, full of fun and fury and a verl'ablo cycloco when hi turns loos'? on men and thing*, and mo.-o so whon ho gols his head turned in the wio'ig direction. B lug quiok on trigger he cften goes off 'half-cocked, doing im mense damage by such discharges. Somo years ago af or stumping L?U> rens county as a "probi" candidate against a hall dog en dispensary boast ers, having fought end bled and died in wluit 1 conceived to be a good cause, feathering unmerc'fully everything In Mght that smcP of whiskey, I felt all but like a martyr who had accom plished great thing*. In fact l was told by some of the high-strung Johnathon twist-medlspensarltos that my spodies had done good. About that time Brother Sam came to Laurons and lec'urcd. Of coune 1 went down to hear him. expecting great help and comfort and high en dorsement. At the proper time in his speech ho lit onto tho b ir-keep;rs and bunged them up deoent'y. After hav ing annihilated them to a nioety ho turned to tho men tint had been fight ing the dispensary and put them in the samo boat. I was actually ashamed f >r the man and wanted to onl;ghten him?because I had studied tho s lb jeot and kniW something about it, and kne* from the t?l*n his di scou.-e had takf n, he didn't. Hut you see I was in a hole and couldn't, i. e. I was in tho audienco and he had the stump. I am glad that Brother Sim is a good stu dent and C3n learn by experience and thai he has the experience. He his chinned hU mind and he has the man limas to conf.-ss it. Hoar h'.m: ''The Drat thing I want to do is to publicly apologize to Mrs. \V. P. Lovejoy and say emphatically she was right, and Sana Jones and all the preachers and churches of Rooae wer i wrong on that issue in Floyd Co uity two yea-s ego. That dispensary issue was like the Trojan hoi\-e. It brought in some things that were not in sight, and had I boon ai thoroughly coavorsmt with all the issue* and questions Involved in that dispensary then a* I am now, I should have been squarely on the other side." Exaotly. I knew h a'l the time but was not in a posil'on to seo Brother Sam. That was all. I should be pleased he would se d mo a nicely written and folded a; ology for the same offence six yoars ago. Further on ho says : "And ti e effort being made, by tho dispensary people to take this traffio of evil out of the bands of bar-ke?pers and put it into tho hands of church puiple to buy it and sell, is not lifting the liquor traffic up one iota. Bit it is dragging the church down." Precisely so. Even as I told the p:o plo of my county six years ago. It's a pity Brother Sam ha in't attended my lectures beforj he d itivered his s nil at Laurens and afterward carried homo to GaorgU a convic'Jon that helped to establish for his dear State one of tho most pernicious liquor schemes and machines that ever cursed a common wea'th. But bettet" late than never. Yo i have hit the track f-ontward this timo, Brother Sam S> go it with a hump on you; never say dio. Again: "If i?s wrong fo- a saloon koeper to stand hch'n I his counter and dish out to his fellowm ia at ton cents a drink for the money there is in It, then, in the name of all that God ap proves, how in the name of sense can four meinberj of Ihc church in F.oyd or Clarko cuunttoj tak i ch irgo of the business as commissioners and reonivo a salary of $200. a m >nth to buy and sell to the poor devi s who patronize the tank, * * be anything more or less in tho sinht of Go 1 and good peo ple than the poor devil called a saloon keeDer who dishci It out at t-n cents a drink." This question I had answered to the good pooplo that undo up Brother Sim's audience oi the n'ght afore siid, previous to his coming. But now I can say with gladoess and hope, hur rah for the hind horse! he's coming in a cantor, But again: "I ooce fond'ed tho thought that tho dispensary was a stepping stone to prohibition, but it Is tho biggest enuny and the most terrillo bulwark that ever p-ohibition ran up against." To be sure you did, and that is what I wanted to tell you so bad at,d couldn't. You had mo In a hole then, and was si ootlng in on me buckshot out of a doub'.o barreled gun made, loaded and provided (unawares on your part) by whiskey venders, Wasn't it awful? /? Fifthly: "Iroponti', instead of be ing a stepping stone to p ohlbition, tho di.-puuN.ii-y, like Goorge Washington, has becomo emba'med in the hearts of its counfymon and it is the greatest obstacle that can bo placed in tho way of the prohibition of tho traflic." All this I fore saw clearly, . but eou'dn't toll yon, you s;e oaso you had mo in a hole. Now, that I havo you n a hole, you don't mind me, just for self gratification and pare retaliation, shooting a few frkn lly rouiHs of bird shot in there on you, eh? It fs only to remind you how it woul I feel were it loud d with buckshot made and pro vided by a whiskey clique, Lastl): "Run your tanks, gentloinon; lo?seri your taxes: debauch your citi /.jns; All up your negroes with your p>p-skull liquor, and turn thorn loose t. > commit rape and arson and bur glary; debauch your poor white citl* fcjns; dischirgo your offloials who wqn't f U into line with your tank idea: let every little fellow that pops up for of fice announce that he Is in . favor of celling out his county and people at a dollar a head. Oo it, Go it. The djvlt will get the wh do bunch, but thank God, he won't get much." Enough. That will do Brother S ?m. You can oime out now. Yon have ro deeaaod yourself on th.s last uttera'.cj. I present the flsg or truce.' Come out. Brother Bon. AM0N? OUR FRIENDS. Mr. ami Mrs, P, J. Roper of Paul spent Friday night In tho city. Rev, B. H. Grior of Ora was in the city BViday.

All Sizes; Dispair and HOPE A Tragic Life Story? If then1 hi anything in tha theory that wo ?et our heaven and hell hero on i irlh, it could bo said with perfect truth that a $1 medical prescription known as 1). D, !>., literally lifted tin; man out of hell. The awful miseries of a poisoned skin can bo understood only by the afflicted. The nights of sleepless agony with hands tied to prevent tearing the flesh, the rundown general condition which results, and the hlach hopelessness of life can all he visibly traced in the first of these photos. A ; will be ?cen this man is a man of powerful physique, but it will be seen from his face \.\ t!i ? first picture that it is a grim strugglo to live and keep up Iiis courage. In contrast, if tho reader will fairly consider the picture after treatment with D, D. I >., a new man is seen. Study this picture; contrast the two. Something has worked a wondor here. Header, it was nothing on earth but I). I), P. and a kind Providence which directed tho attention of this man to a public announcement about this medicament and its wonderful work in such cases. Providence went farther than this; it gave him some confidence in what he read. He made up his mind that ho would try it. To this fact ho owes all the peace, content and happiness so plainly seen in his face in tho second picture. He states that after the third application of the remedy all his previous distress had disappeared entirely. The fevered condition resulting from continued irritation had subsided and he slept soundly nights. The name of this gctlcman is Mr. Henry Walters, of St. Louis, Mo. We have the sworn affidavit of Mr. Walters that in just twenty-nine days after starting treat ment with D. D? D. he discontinued further use of it, every visible trace of the dis ease having disappeared. Since that time not a trace of the trouble has shown itself on any part of his body. His hair has since grown long and the scrubby beard pre viously grown on his face to hide the sores, is kept cleanly shaved, and he is today a man of strikingly fine appearance, with the highost ambition and activities in life and every happiness possible to most men hero on earth. Results of this kind that are proven'to be directly duo to a preparation of this sort certainly call for public ap preciation. This prescription in sealed bottles, bearing authentic label of D. 1>. I>. Co. of Chicago, sold at $i. Tho bottlo is a liberal one and has proved sufficient to entirely cure many cases. Eczema is probably the worst and most stubborn of skin diseases, and it was for this that this prescription was studied out and perfected, but all skin diseases am caused by para sites or some form of germ life in the skin-structuro. The proscription quickly and entirely annihilates all forms of parasitic life lodged anywhere in the skin. Many people imagine they have blood trouble when they break out with some form of skin affection, but not in ono caso in a hundred is this a fact, as the very Healthiest blood is often found in the strongest men affected with breaks and erup tions of somo kind in tho skiu. In all such cases the trouble is at the surface or near tho snrfaco, and it can bo searched out and annihilated completely by this preparation. The Above Is True. Wo havo received carefully prepared and fully attested documents and particulars regarding tha caso above mentioned of Mr. Henry Walters, of St. Louis, a victim of psoriasis, a form of oc/ema. Wo can say to all persons afflicted with any form of skin disease that tho medical tostimony submitted shows beyond a doubt ll: t they can cilro themselves by the use of this preparation. We say beyond a do;;!;*. Wo mean this fully, providing the affection is really a skin disease, as it has been showd tnat each of tho known germs that cause skin affection have been entirely routed out and conquered by tho preparation, Laurens Drug Company.
