"A CRUMB FROM THE CHILD EXITS TABLE."
Matthew 15:21-r*-June 12.
"flrrol is thy faith; be (t unto fAe* ccc* as thxm wiltr?V. 1*8.
GOD lores the faithful and delight* to bave them trust tu htm. His cblefest
blessings are for such. Ry reason t?f vurtous conditions connected
with our birth. It la not alike easy to all to accept the Divine promises
snd to shape life according to these, trnstlng that the rewards gad
gdeeelngs of t'je future will more than offset the sacrifices of the present.
However, while only ttie faithful will attain the exceeding great and precious
ggi??* g| God's promises In this present age. we are glad that the Creator has
gCill in renervuth *? sn Inferior blessing for those who cannot exercise faith
glow, but who must he dealt with during the Millennial Age more along the
ftees of sight. Our present study well Illustrates the Lord's grace towards
those who trust him.
The Canaanlttsb woman was a heathen woman -one not an Israelite?one
ejrith whom the Lord had not entered Into covenaut relationship?ono of those
erho st that time were without G\ d and without hope, because the Divine
gsrovlsJon for the blessing of the (Jentiles was not yet opened*up to them
When our Lord sent forth his Apostles to preach the Gospel, healing all man
cer of dlseasee and casting out devils, he Instructed them to pass by all who
ere re not Jews?Gentiles and Samaritans. His words were, "Go not Into the
way of the Gentiles and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not, for 1
gm not sent save to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." With a few excep?
tions our Lord's miracles were confined to the Jews. They alone were God's
covenanted people. For this reason Jesus Ignored the petition of the Cannan
1tlsh woman, crying "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter
la grievously vexed with a devil." And later on he explained. "I am not sent
but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel,** and "It Is not meet to take the
children's bread and cast It to the dogs."
The term "dogs" was applied to the Gentiles by the Jews as signifying
their Inferiority. Our Lord merely made use of an expression common in his
day, and still common In Palestine. But note the woman's faith: She replied.
"Yea, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the Master's ta?
ble." What perseverance, what faith, was tbus manifest^! How evidently
ehe believed the Lord to be the promised Messiah, the Heir of tho throne of
David! Aa Jeans intimated, she had more faith than a majority of the Jews,
Bar request was granted?"O woman, great Is thy faith! Re It unto thee even
as thou wilt" Her daughter was healed from that hour.
There are several lessons for us In this study. However degraded we may
be by natur\ by heredity, by environment; however out aal fron God's favor,
we may still know of the Divine compassion. The gaff ? < Ig, "God is Love."
If he chose first of all to manifest his favor towards AL< .' , 'g children, it did
not signify tbst he had no love or care for the remainder ( mankind; merely
that the Dlvloe purpose must flow out to mankind throt ,:. I dvlnely-appointed
channels and in God's due time. We may be suro that nag wo get to the
standpoint of perfect knowledge In the hereafter we shall ate wisdom in every
featuro of the Divine program. For Instance, from the human standpoint It
aeons strange that God has permitted a reign of sin and death in the world
for 6000 years, when he has the full power to speak the word and to over?
throw the forces of evil and to Inaugurate gracious Influences of blessing for
the deliverance of mankind from the power of sin and Satan, ignorance and
gnperstltlon; to give light for darkneaa; knowledge of God for ignorance and
t&llndnesg. Studying the Divine Plan of the Ages, we find the lesson to be
that God will first select a Church class and subsequently use the elect
Church as channels of blessing toward the world of mankind,
A little while, and the permission of sin and the trials and difficulties of
(be present life shall have served to chisel and polish the "very elect." A little
while, and they shrill be transformed to the glorious likeness of their Redeemer
beyond the veil. And then a little while, and the blessings long promised to
the world in genersl will be dispensed. The children of God will first be fed
from this table, and then not merely crumbs will fall for the remainder of
tee race, but rich and bountiful provision, exceedingly and abundantly more
torn we could have asked or thought.
ft Is a great and Important truth that many humau beings are more or
leee completely obsessed by evil spirits?demons?not the spirits of humun be?
ings, but the fallen angels, as the Scriptures declare. Many battle for years
against these Influences of demons and, because not rightly Informed of the
Bible teaching on the subject, they come more and more uuder the occult In
flnences with du tiger of entirely losing their reason. It wus probably some
euch affliction as this which affected tho daughter of the Cuuaaultess. She
eeemed to realize that there was only the one quarter from which she could
get help. Hence her Importunity, when she recognized the Iiord.
In another aenae of the word all sin and sickness may be said to be gtU!c<
tlons of the devil, because all are eitter directly, or through heredity. Satnt. ?
work. Thus our Lord declared that Satan hud murdered our race by QU
falsehood to mother Eve?"He was a murderer from the beginning and abode
not In the Truth." Through his He our race gga gone down Into slckneaa, a ? n
tel. moral and physical, and Is going down rgptdtj to the tomb Thunk l?< ?1

RAILROADS WITHDRAW RATES.
WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE RE
si'l/rs IN COMPROMISE.
Western Lines Agree not to Raise
Kate* Until Commerce Commission
Can Suspend Them.
Washington) June b.?a complete
agreement between the government
and tlit? recently enjoined railroads
Of the Western Trunk lane associa?
tion was reached at the White House
conference which lasted for more
than four hours this afternoon.
The railroads represented agree to
withdraw all rate increases tiled to
he effective on or after June 1 and
agree to tile no more increases un?
til the bill in congress which gives
the interstate commerce commission
power to investigate and suspend in?
creases that are not justified becomes
a law and goes into effect.
President Taft thereupon stated
that the administration's purpose in
bringing the injunction suit had been
accomplished and the suit would be
discontinued. The discontinuance will
not be entered, however, until after
the new railroad law is signed.
Others Will Come In.
The belief was expressed tonight
that all of the other railroads of the
country which have filed increased
rates or have had such a plan under
consideration will abide by the agree?
ment reached today with the rail?
roads named as defendants in the
recent suit.
There will be a conference at the
White House in which President
Brown of the New York Central rail?
road, President McCrea of the Penn?
sylvania and other officials represent?
ing railroads in the Eastern and Cen?
tral territory will participate. That
they will acqulsce in President Taft's
proposition and hold up the proposed
increase until after the new law be?
comes effective, is practically taken
for granted here tonight.

AUTOMOBILE PARADE.
WILL BE ONE OF FEATURES OF
TOURNAMENT WEEK.
All The oui Veteran Can Will Head
the Parade, These to i>e Followed
by the Smaller Cars, the Touring
Cars to Bring up the Rear.
Tho automobile feature of fire?
men's week is taking shape. A pa?
rade of machines Will take place
Ttn-sday the 21st. at six in the after?
noon, and on the parade as many
visitors will be taken as can And
seats.
The scheme is to have the line
hoaded by all the old veteran cars
that can be mustered, and there are
some in running order here that
eight years ago were thought to be
marvels of grace and usefulness, and
today are looked on as curios. After
these the cars will be formed in line
by size, the smallest first, grading up
to the big roomy touring cars which
will bring up the rear.
Mr. H. C. Parrott has been asked
by the committee to act as chief
marshall for the parade, and to as?
sist him are asked Messrs. Hazel Boy
kin, L. L. Drake, Richard Monaghan
and Joe Plowden. The marshalls are
anxious to know that every possible
car in Sumter will be In line, and
they have to have some idea of what
will be on hand so they can make
out the plan of formation. They ask
that car owners signify their in?
tention of being in, to anyone of the
marshalls, or to Mr. D. R. McCal
Uim, Jr., secretary of the automobile
association.
Why not invite car owners and
car dealers from other counties to
be here for the parade on the 21st.
They probably would be glad to ac?
cept, and the more the merrier.
BRO WARD'S VICTORY CERTAIN.
Early Reurns From Second Primary
in Florida Give Ex-Governor the
Senatorshlp.
Jacksonville, Fla.. June 7.?In the
second primary for United States sen?
ator held today the returns are far
Tom complete and a fair estimate
impossible. However, if ex-Gov.
Broward's gains continue as they did
in the early returns, it is evident
that he will be nominated for United
States senator over Senator Taliaferro
by a majority of from 1,*00 to 2,000
votes.
Senator Taliaferro lost heavily In
the three principle cities which gave
him his greatest strength in the first
primary. His losses in Hillsboro
county (Tampa) will amount to 1,000
votes, while in Jacksonville the com?
parative gains show Broward de?
creased Tallaferro'l majority by near?
ly 4 00 votes. In Pensacola the vote
is very close, while in the last pri?
mary Taliaferro polled a large ma
joriy. At Key West, which went for
Claude L'Engle in the first primary,
Taliaferro secured a majority of about
100 votes. Taliaferro's losses in the
larger cities will aggregate 1,800
votes.
On the other hand, ex-Gov. Brow?
ard appears to be losing strength in
the country precincts which is ac?
counted for by the fact that Senator
Taliaferro paid particular attention to
the campaign in those precincts. Sen?
ator Taliaferro gained 4 00 votes in
Jackson county, a Broward strong?
hold, and made smaller gains in
Drange, Putnam, Bradford, Dade and
St. Johns counties.
The entire State vote will reach
a total of about 48,000, the largest
vote ever polled in Florida. The sec?
ond primary, which ended tonight,
has been the hardest fought political
battle in many years.
At midnight tonight both Senator
Taliaferro and ex-Gov. Broward
claimed victory.
After it became known In this city
that Broward's election was probable,
a party of many hundred supporters
started a parade through the streets.
Lizzie Green, Irene Jackson and
Laura Boyce were before the record?
er Tuesday morning for disorderly eon
duct. There was all sorts of swear?
ing and Incrlmlnations. The record?
er settled the whole matter by fining
each $15.00 or giving them the alter

A GQOO RECORD GONE.
NOT THE FIRST ONE SMASHED
BY SUMTER.
Columbia's Undefeated Team Swamp?
ed by the Game Cocks by Score of
5 to o. Chandler's Pitching Featur?
ed the Contest. Some of the De?
tails of the Game.
The brag team of the Universlt:
High School, of Columbia, that cam*'
to Sumter with a clean record, not
having been defeated this season, re?
turned to the Capital City walloped
The little Game Cocks of the Sum?
ter High School, with Chandler on the
tiring line, shut out the visitors by
a score of 5 to 0. It was a rather
slow game, but there were some bril?
liant dashes that made the spectators
look up and take notice, and several
innings were played in big league
style. The greatest drawback to
the game was the wrangling of the
visitors over a decision of Umpire
Jones, which delayed the game for
nearly ten minutes. The kick was
unwarranted, and unsportsmanlike.
Chandler was again the big lumi?
nary. He was there with the benders
and the twisters, with the result that
one or more of the visitors was sent
to the bench without connecting with
the ball in every inning but two, and
altogether ten visitors fanned du?
ring the nine sessions. Chandler's
cool head and his remarkable ability
to work his best with the sacks oc?
cupied prevented any scouring by the
Columbia boys. The entire team sup?
ported him beautifully, and nearly
every man on the team pulled off at
least one star play during the game.
For the visitors Duncan pitched well,
but he allowed hits to be bunched and
gave them up at bad times with the
result that the runs came. Hornsby
played four positions in the infield
for Columbia, and held his men to?
gether, when first baseman Harth
wanted to break up the contest by
quitting. The base running of the
visitors was a decided feature.
In the opening inning, Jones, first
up, walked, and was advanced to sec?
ond on Dick's well placed sacrifice. He
scored a minute later on Monaghan's
stinging drive to left field.
The game was cinched in the fifth.
Four hits by Xigles, T>ick, Monagh
an and Duffle, coupled with three er?
rors netted the home team three
runs. Three of the hits came with
two men down, and the locals took
I desperate chances on bases with Old
Good Fortune running their end of
the line. A passed ball enabled Jones
to score in the seventh, giving Sum?
ter a total of five runs.
The trouble with the visitors came
in the seventh. Krepps led off with
a single. Rion was safe when Moore
muffed his easy chance to left field.
Duncan filled the sacks on Chand?
ler's error, and things looked bad with
no outs. Monkton, next up, was a
victim to Chandler's curves. Mar?
shall made a brilliant catch of Sim's
difficult foul chance near the play?
ers bench, on which play Krepps tried
to score from third. He failed to
tag the sack after the catch, and be?
fore starting for the plate, and was
called out by Umpire Jones. The Um?
pire was entirely correct in his de?
cision, and the visitors knew it, and
thought that they would run over
the locals by putting up a bluff of
quitting. After making a very dis?
graceful spectacle, they saw that the
bluff would not work, and the game
was continued. The visitors never
again had a show to score.
The score:
R. H. E.
Sumter: 100 030 100 5. 6. 3.
Columbia: 000 000 000 0. 6. 5.
Batteries: Chandler and Marshall;
Duncan and Sims.
Umpires: Phelps and Jones. Scor?
er : Levy.

The .Yllied Farmers.
The farm, rs of the United States
are becoming better organized than
ever for the advancement of agricul?
tural interest, says the Boston Globe.
They are paying a great deal of at?
tention to parcels post, good roadways
and scientific farming. The Farmers'
Educational and Co-operative Union
of America has increased from less
than 50.000 membership six years ago
to rising 3,000,000. This body be?
gan organizing in the South, is grow?
ing rapidly in the West and on the
Pacific 'slope. It expects next to in?
vade New England. In the South
this Union has succeeded in obtain?
ing for the farmer a reasonable price
for his cotton. In the West it is mak?
ing headway in the handling of wheat
in a scientific and equitable manner.
The politicians are naturally devot?
ing much attention to the farmer,
and this is probably bee the farm?
er is spending com lei ble time
watching how public one lain are dis?
charging their duties In regard to
agricultural pursuits. T u time has
passed when Congressmen can im?
press the farmer by gifts of seeds and
petty offices. If the farmers will be
broad-minded and take hold of poll
tics in common with other citizens
and hold public officials to their pledg?
es to constltutents, they will be per?
forming a commendable service.

HAPPY RESULTS.
Have Made Many Sumter Residents
Enthusiastic.
No wonder scores of Sumter citizens
grow enthusiastic. It is enough to
make anyone happy to find relief after
years of suffering. Public statements
like the following are but truthful rep?
resentations of the daily work done
in Sumter by Doan's Kidney Pills.
William Burdell. 211 Church St.,
Sumter, S. C, says: "I suffered from
backache and sharp, shooting pains
through my loins for some time. 1
could not rest well and in the morn?
ing my back was very lame and stiff.
I was also caused much annoyance by
too frequent passages of the kidney
secretion. Doan's Kidney Pills were
finally recommended to me and I pro
cured a supply at China's Drug Store.
1 ran truthfully say that they gave
be great relief. I have since been free
from backache, and my kidneys have
b< en normal. I feel so much better
in every way that 1 can highly recom?
mend Doan's Kidney Pills to any per?
son suffering from kidney complaints."
