Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for
any season. but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of tonic and
Alternative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per-
haps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con

tiers. Fifty cents and 81 per bottle at

none of the leaders OF the movement here
they returned on the midday train and
did not stay to the meeting.
Sumter county was represented and
there was a good representation from

setting forth the high rates of freights
charged by the transportation companies
and the meager returns received by the
growers.
VIM. Reese of Sumter county stated
that the melon growers of his section re-
ceived net returns of about $50 per car
load, while the freight was about $50 per
car.
DR.. Maddox of this place found il more
profitable TO feed his Irish potatoes to his

that unless the growers could get better
net returns they would be compelled to go
out OF the business. Much of this sort of

DID PRAYER CAUSE A wRECKs
Holiness Campers Didn't Want Ex-
cursiOnists at Indian spring.
From the Atlanta Journal

From the Atlanta Journal
Macon, Sept. "A sensation has been
created by story that comes from In
dian Springs.
A holiness campmeeting is going on at
the Wigwam, and when It was first an
nounced that the Macon Uniform Rank.
Knights of Pythias. had decided to have
their annual picnic and dance at the Wig
wan, the members of the holiness
association became very much exercised.
They denounced the advent of the pleas
ure seekers as not only an impertinence
but a direct outrage, and openly declared
the excursion of evil origin, and that bad
would come to it.
On the evening previous to the picnic.
one of the female exhorters of the meet
ing, offered a prayer Joined in by num-
Der of the members, in which she asked
God to use His power in keeping the ex-
cursion from arriving with the dancers.
It is now claimed by the members that
while they did not pray for a wreck in
which lives would be lost, that they did
beseech Divine Intervention, and deep
down in their hearts asked God to throw
some obstacle into the way of the excur-
sion.
Many of the holiness campers now
earnestly believe that the wreck was the
Divine interference prayed for-that it
was the wrath of God sent down upon
the picnickers to check them in going to
a meeting of Gods people to indulge in
dancing and other gayeties.
Those who believe this point out the
fact that the cause of the wreck is a
mystery to strengthen their theory
1t is known that when the news Of the
wreck reached the camp the preachers
for the balance Of the day all alluded to
it as Divine dispensation in answer to
their prayers.
