The EpwOrth League.

Toronto, Ont, July 17.-Deep interest
and enthusiasm has marked the meet
ings of the Epworth League today. A
few minues after the doors Of the
Massey hall were thrown open, humid
reds of delegates were unable to OBJ
tain admission. The same story can
be told of other places of assembly.
In the Massey hall, commencing at
$3.50 o'clock, church rallies for the good
of the Methodist Episcopal church were
held, with Arthur H. Edwards, D. D.,
Of Chicago, chairman.
1.-THE American University" was the
title of an address delivered by Bishop
Hurst, of Washington, D.. G..
1.-The Forward Movement Among Our
Colored Young People, by Irwin G..
Penn, of Atlanta, Ca, was an interest
ing paper.
"Woman's Work in the Home
Church" was ably discussed by Mrs.
Clinton B. Fiske, of New York.
Bishop McCabe spoke on "Woman's
Work in Foreign Lands"
AT the Metropolitan church Bishop
w. w. Duncan, Of ~Spartanburg, S. c.,
presided over a meeting called in the
interest of h Methodist Episcopal
church, south. Addresses were deliv-
cred by Rev. j. J. Tigert, Nashville,
Tenn.,, Kew. AlOnZO MOnk, Macon, Id.,
Rev. w. R.. Murray, Jackson, Miss,
and Bishop Hurst, Washington, D. c.
The Methodist church Of Canada, was
looked after at a rousing meeting in
Cookies church. Rev. DR.. Carman,
Toronto, was chairman and some of the
best known Methodist ministers in
Canada, delivered addresses.
The secretary's report was a It
showed the league in Canada to be in
a most f1~ourishing condition.
The joint committee appointed by the
cabinet to select the next place OF
meeting Of the convention, decided on
indianapolis. The other candidates for
the honor were New York, Seattle and
Omaha.
Rev. A. G.. Crews, general secretary,
presented his report. 1t spoke of the
difficulty Of holding frequent general
meetings on account of distance. He
had mailed circulars to different bodies
asking for suggestions as to changes in
the constitution and had not received
a single reply showing satisfaction all
along the line.
About 1000 leaguers wheeled to Res
ervoir park to attend the sunrise meet
ing this morning. Music and prayer
occupied most Of the time, though one
delegate made protest against Sunday
wheeling and another spoke in oppo-
Sition to Sunday cars.

Wilson Notes
Correspondence of The Messenger

Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Weldon, N. c., July II.
The Weldon corn mill has decided to
increase it's capacity 1000 bushels daily.
The present equipment is for 1000 bush
els daily, but running day and night
the mill turns out about 1000 bushels
of meal. When the new machinery ar
rives it will add considerably to it's
present capacity and will then turn out
$500 bushels. The mill is doing a fine
business and cannot supply the de-
mand for the excellent meal it is max
ing.
The Roanoke Navigation and Water
Power Company here, of which Major
J. w. Wilson is president. will put in
an electric light plant at this place.
The machinery has already been order
ed for that purpose. The plant will
supply lights for the town, mill and
railroads.
David Bell, of Enfield, lost his entire
tobacco crop by the recent hail storm.
The loss in that section will foot up
$25, OOO. Many of the farmers are al
most ruined by the disastrous storm.

Especial to The M-essenger)
Florence. s. c.. July 1.-THE Florence
dispensary was entered last night by
thieves and a wholesale robbery seems
to have been the result. 1t was not
discovered until this morning when
the clerk went to open up. An en-
trance was made through a window in
the rear Of the wooden storage room
adjoining the main building Of the dis
pensary. The exact loss to the state
has not yet been figured ur. The place
was closed today and Dispenser H. B.
Williamson made an inventory of the
stock in order to ascertain the amount
stolen. 1t is said that a two-horse load
Of the numerous KS was carted away.
Judge Simonton having awarded S.
Guckenheimer & Sons, of Savannah,
Ga, a temporary injunction, restrain
ing the state liquor ~constables, Mr..
George Stackley, agent for the above
firm. whose place was closed by the
constables on Wednesday. reopened his
original package store this morning at
9 o'clock. Owing to the dispensary be-
ing closed today on o of the
robbery last night, Mr.. Stackley did a
very heavy business in that line.

At one time there were fourteen car

The Spanish. Japanese Alliance

London, July IA dispatch from
Paris to a news association says thai
a continued investigation into the re-
ports of the Spanish-Japanese alliance
against the United States government
indicates that. despite the repeated de-
malls, there is reaso to believe that
early developments may prove there
is some truth in the information. The
rumor of the Spanish-Japanese alliance
against the government of the United
States came from Madrid. The report
of it's origin has been confirmed by GER
tain members Of the interested emba-
sizes who are likely to be acquainted
with the subject.

CarbunCleS!

It's the same story. The experience
of all sufferers with blood diseases is
identical. First the doctors are ON
suited, and their prescription Of potash
and mercury is taken faithfully, but
without result. Months pass, and the
m%ercurial dose is continued, until
finally, his condition being no better,
or often worse, the patient becomes
discouraged and decides to change
treatment.
Patent medicines are then taken,
but until the right n is found the
results are the same. S. S. S. is the
only blood remedy on the market
which is guaranteed purely vegetable.
1t is the only one that contains no
mercury, no potash, or other mineral,
and therefore is the only one that
promptly gets at the bottom OF all
blood diseases and cures permanently.
