In violating the sauctity of the!
Sabbath by making it an ordinary
work day for transacting the
busiuess of his office while at his

President Taft is setting a precedent
that lays him open to rebuke
by the Christian people of
the Uuited States regardless of
party affiliation.
Senator Benjamin R Tillman
has expressed himself as "being i
glad the State is going dry".i
Like a "number of other politicians
who fought to the last ditch to

Senator Tillman has never
Lad any use for the count}- dispensary
system. From State dispensary
to prohibition is swinging
the circle about ISO degrees.

True Story From The Lecture Platform
The chairman of the lecture committee
wasa very absent-minded man,
: and when he had reached that por,
tion of his introduction of the Eminent
Lecturer wherein it was fitting
that he should mention the name of
the honored visitor he torgoc ic completely,
aud in the hope that it
would return unto him, began to
spar for time:
"When I say that it is a household
word all over this broad land
, of ours, from the xYtlautic to the
Pacific, from the Penobscot to the
Golf, I make no mistake. When I
say that it is the name of one of the
Princes of Literature, I but do its
honored bearer scant justice. When
I say that in oratory the mere
mention of it calls to our minds the
days of Demosthenes, I but speak
, the simple truth."
i Still the name did not come.
"And to think that he is with
us here to-nightl To think that I
i should be privileged to stand upon
this platform here, in this town,
i with?ah?with/ij//<."'
; Still no glimmer of the Immortal
Name.
"I can hardly believe it, and yet
- my eyes tell me that he i3 here,
i My very being echoes to his houored
i name. My spirit rejoices that one
like this should pause in the midst
of his inspired labors to be our
guest to-night.''
Identity of gentleman still elusive.
"My friends, in a life-time of
^ happiness, and i may say of honor,
among you, I have known no happiness,
attained 110 no! I will not speak
1 the name, for is it not graven in
t letters of golden tire on all our hearts?
It is. And so, let me say to you
simDlv, but in all sincerity, that he
is here, that we are privileged to
look upon him; to hear his voice, to
, drink in the wisdom of his
utterances and the splendor ot his
, eloquence."
: Sits down amid uproarious applause.

A Delightful Occasion.
Indiantown, August 24:?On
Wednesday, August 18, the
young people of Indiantown enjoyed
one of the most delightful
entertainments of the season
given by Miss Kathryn Bridgman
honor of Misses "Dimple" and
Frank Cooper of Mississippi,
who are visiting relatives in
this community. The day was
perfect in its idyllic loveli-1
ness and until the golden sun-j
light faded into dusky twilight
croquet and other games were
played upon the verdant lawn.
Ilere also an al fresco luncheon
was served, including lemonade,
cream, cake and other delicacies.
Later on the vine-covered porch,
decorated with ferns and
flowers, rang with joyous
laughter and the scene was one
of beauty and gladsome gaiety.
The hours were from 5 to 8 p
m., but I am afraid, Mr Editor,
that we tried the pate*mce of
our good pastor and hit ?timable
lady beyond the limit*
as it was not until "Fair Luna"
was generous with her soft,
silvery rays that we could say
farewell to merry faces of fascinating
maidens, wreathed with
winsome smiles.
The following were among the
participants: Misses Kathryn
Bridgman, "Dimple" and Frank
Cooper, bailie Hanna; Janet
Ervin. Emma and Lucile Cooper,
Mattie Brown, Lizzie Hanna,
"Jo Jo", but not Jhoe; Messrs
Harold Bridgman, Eddie Rollins,
Tlieo Rogers, Lewis Covington,
Ogilvie Rogers, Julian Hanna,
Paul Wilson, David and Robert
Hanna, Ed Brown, Henry Nelson.
