SEEING The FUTURE.

A so-called magician in London has been
coming money lately by showing people
pictures of their future life. One strong
man saw himself depicted as an aged.
WORKOUT wreck of humanity, broken down
with care. A woman in robust health saw
herself transformed into gloomy invalid.
There was trick about it, of course, but
every visitor went away feeling heavy
hearted and respondent
There are thousands Of men and women
to-day who would be filled with similar
terror if they could only see the future in
store for them unless they do something at
once to prevent it. They are nervous,
weak, tired, languid, exhausted in nerve
power and physical strength. They are
sleepless, and awaken tired and unrefresh-
ed. without energy for the days work.
When people get to feeling like this it
plainly shows that their systems are badly
run down. These symptoms are the sure
way to get rid of them is to take pure
medicinal stimulant which will build up
the strength. The best stimulant is pure
whisky, but it must be absolutely pure,
and there is only one whiskey-Duffy S
pure malt-which fully answers this des-
cription. This whiskey drives out malaria,
and builds up the whole system. 1t makes
weak, weary people strong and well. All
grocers and druggists keep Duffy's pure
malt whiskey There Is no other whiskey
like Duffy's, and nothing else that can
possibly take its place.

If it Will, then the remaining $4,000 can
be used in other equally needful works,
such as house drainage, etc. 1t takes
but few hours to go to Augusta. Then
better let the whole council go there and
see these pavements for themselves
They owe it to the taxpayers to get
satisfactory work for the least money.
BY satisfactory work 1 mean work that
answers the demands of the service to
which it is put. Let us take another view
of it. If a pavement of gravel can be
put at 80 cents per yard guaranteed to
be firm, clean, freer from dust than
brick or asphalt, and as durable as either,
the 80 cents only represents about four
or five years interest on the capital in
vested in a pavement at approximately
81 per yard. So that with the interest
money of the asphalt outlay we could
construct the gravel pavement entirely
new every five years and still keep the
principal in our pockets. Asphalt pave
ments are far hotter than gravel, and TO
that extent more Objectionable in resi-
dence streets. The summer is hot enough
now, especially on such streets as Con-
gress and BroueEton, from which the
occupants of business houses gladly es-
cape TO cooler localities in the city; and
these cooler localities are not found or
asphalted streets.
Again, we know that we can construct
ebert, which will give fair, If not equal,
service with brick or asphalt, and at one
fourth the money Such a pavement will
be cooler than brick or asphalt, noise-
less, firm. clean, sanitary, easily repaired
at small cost and fully meet our needs
Why, then, expend $4,000 on this street,
when 100000 to $4,000 will give us a good
pavement, thoroughly serving all the pur-
poses for which a South Broad street
pavement is needed? We don't want
pavement for heavy hauling We don't
want to hear the loud clatter of the
horses hoofs at o'clock in the morn
ing. We can catch the distant noise from
Jefferson, West Broad, Whitaker, Bull
Drayton and East Broad streets quite
enough already, without bringing it to our
doors.
The people of South Broad street should
ask council to postpone action a little un-
til they can themselves send commit
tees of their own to Augusta and to Way
cross or wherever good gravel and ebert
pavements exist, and examine for them
selves what will best suit them at the
least cost. Nobody is pressing council
to hurry unduly, except the men who
want the jobs and the expensive pavements
projected will greatly prevent the accom-
plishment of other important works while
securing the paving of but few streets
We need payements elsewhere. as well as
on South Broad street, and we won't get
many of these others unless we greatly
cut down the unnecessarily costly plans
for that particular avenue. In trying and
uncertain times like these 1 think we had
better be finding out how we can lessen
taxes and expenditures, rather than how
we can cripple future necessary outlays
by stretching our credit to too great a
tension. L. A. Falligant.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY.
An Interesting Programme Present.
ed at the Lutheran Church.

An Interesting Programme Present.
ed ut the Lutheran Church.
The services that were to have been
held yesterday at the Lutheran Church of
the Ascension, commemorative of Rev. w.
C. Shaeffer's connection with the church,
were postponed on account of the incle-
ment weather. 1t has not yet been de-
cided what day will be selected for the
celebration of his fourth anniversary but
1t is probable that an early Sunday will
be chosen.
The Sunday school rally" last night at
the church was great success, and the
exercises We're enjoyed by the large con-
gregation. Two addresses were the main
feature of the rally, those of Mr.. w. f.
Stubs and Mr.. Farley T. Cunningham.
Mr.. Stubs address was devoted 70 u
discussion Of Sunday schools and the
rally as a means of keeping up en-
thusiasm. His definition of the Sunday
school was given as that department
of the church where the word of God IS
taught for the purpose of bringing souls
to Christ and building up souls in Christ"
Mr.. Cunningham spoke to the children
particularly and showed them how they
might be useful to others in their lives
and fulfill the end for which their position
in life is allotted
Among the entertaining numbers on the
program were the hymns rendered by the
children. The singing of the Lutheran
Sunday school is known to be particularly
good, and it's reputation was fully sus-
tanned. The hymns were sung with great
spirit and expression. An interesting
feature of the exercises were several Sc
lections on the meloharp by Prof. Single
ton and Prof. Sunier.
The report for the ten months since
Jan. / was read. This shows an enroll
ment of 461 members of the school, and av-
erage attendance of PIP and collection
amounting TO $52440
Appropriate resolutions relating to the
death of Mrs. NJ. A. c. Doscher, for many
years teacher In the Sunday school, were
read and adopted.

The Paving of south BROAD street.

Editor Morning News: If public mat
ters were discussed more openly by coun-
Gil and less in caucus, 1 would hardly.
need to ask a space in your columns in
which to present to the taxpayer my lndi-
vidual opinions on matters affecting their
welfare and their pockets, for the reason
that such opinions would then find their
way to public consideration through your
reporters notes. AS it is, the public never
sees the expressions of a minority whether
it be composed of one or more, or to forms
any opinion upon the merits of any rec
concentrations made by such minority,
unless that minority courageously de-
mands public knowledge of its views. In
a matter involving so large an eXpendi-
ture as the paving of South Broad street
with asphalt, or even with brick, think
an open, free discussion by the public
as we'll as by council, tends to better
our chances of getting the most we can
for our money, as well as to make US
consider whether we cannot get pave
ment satisfactory in all respects ana at
very much less cost than either OF those
above referred to-.
As understand the views of the people
living on South Broad street, they have
by large majority signed petition ask
ing council to pave the street with as
phalt; but their wish In this matter means
a preference for asphalt over brick. They
want a pavement as noiseless and free
from dust as possible, and at the same
time as desirable as can reasonably be
expected; and they believe that sheet as
phalt fills these requirements better than
brick will Such view does not in any
manner make them averse to far Less
costly pavement, provided it fulhlls the
same requirements.
Now we have 1t from sources sufti-
GENTLY truthful and intelligent that in
our neiPhborlng city Of Augusta num-
Der OF streets are paved with what Is
known as Augusta gravel; that these
pavements have been laid ten or twelve
years. and have given good satisfaction;
that they are firm, clean, less noisy than
asphalt or brick and as durable as either,
IL not more so; and that they can be put
down at 30 to 40 cents per square yard,
that is at one-nfth TO one-seventh Of the
cost of the others Why not investigate
It. then? / got resolution through coun-
ell some time since instructing the COM
missioner of public works TO make sucn
investigation. Is it not worth while to
save $4,000 out Of $4,000 II the $1,000 work
will serve our purposes as well or better?
