Farmers are complaining of poor
stands of cotton, due to defective
seed. The seed from last year's crop j
have proved to be very defective and ?
In many places the stands are so poor
that replanting has been necessary.
Those farmers who had seed left over
from the crop of 1905 and used them
have gotten stands.

A Mission for Non-Catholics.
I Beginning on Sunday evening. May
12th, and continuing for one week the
Rev. Joseph F. Mahoney, a graduate
i of the Apostolic Mission House "Wash?
ington, D. C., will deliver a series of
lectures for *non-Catholics in the
Chapel of St. Joseph's Academy, East
Liberty street. These lectures will
not be controversial in character, but
will be a plain and explicit expres?
sion of the principal points of Catholic
doctrine with the reasons upon which
the belief in these doctrines is found?
ed.
This is an age of a keen and vivle
spread desire for knowledge on all
important subjects. It is also an ag?
which is no longer satisfied with ob?
taining its knowledge indirectly
when the original source is available.
Everyone who wishes to speak intel?
ligently on any subject must also de?
sire to be well informed on that sub?
ject and to obtain his information
from an authoritative source. No
doubt, then, many who are truly de?
sirous of learning what the Catholic
Church really teaches will be glad to
avail themselves of this opportunity
to hear from an authorized repre?
sentative the doctrines ?f that church
explained.
Father Mahoney is an earnest and
graceful speaker. He has giren mis?
sions in Beaufort, Georgetown, Sum?
merville, Aiken and Charleston in
this State, and has met with a most
cordial reception from the citizens
of those places without regard to
their religious belief.
Every one is most cordially invit?
ed to attend these lectures. Of course
it is understood that there will be no
charge for the lectures.

OFFICERS HAD TO CLEAR OUT.
Officers of the Law Capture a Big Dis?
tillery and Two Blockaders, But
While Help Was Being Secured
They are Required, at the Points of
Winchesters, to Give Up Their
Find.
Greenville, May 3.-Moonshiners
gave a party of officers a big surprise
j in the Dark Corner section of Green?
ville County yesterday by surrounding
a distillery, which the raiding squad
had captured, and, at the point of
Winchester rifles, demanding and ef?
fecting the release of two prisoners .
It was a daring piece of work even
for blockaders and rather out of the
ordinary for these times. Since the
Carey-Cothran law went into effect
Magistrate Rector, of Richland Town?
ship, has been active in desroying il?
licit distilleries.
Wednesday night he started a raid
near the North Carolina line and early
Thursday morning a big distillery was
located. The magistrate was accom?
panied by two constables. One was
sent off to Tryon to notify the deputy
revenue collector at Greenville, while
the magistrate and his constable held
the still.
Just at daylight three men came to
the distillery, presumably to start op?
erations. Two were captured, but one
escaped.
Half an hour later the distillery was
surrounded by mountaineers, who cov?
ered the officers with their rifles and
efected the release of the prisoners.
The mountaineers then destroyed the
distillery and 110 gallons of liquor in
order to prevent the property falling
into the hands of the Federal Govern?
ment, several women assisting in the
work. Magistrate Rector and his con?
stables were told to clear out and
they lost no time in getting away.
A number of warrants will be
sworn out for che arrest of the guilty
parties.-News and Courier.
"Loving is a painful thrill,
Not to love more painful still,
But ah! it is the worst pain.
To love and not be loved again."

The young man who wants a well
made, perfectly fitting suit at a rea?
sonable price, that will look as well

what he wants.

Stomach trouble is but a symptom of. and not
in itself a true disease. We think of Dyspepsia,
Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases, yet
they are symptoms only of a certain specifio

It was this fact that first correctly led Dr. Shoop
