Golden Text, "The entrance Of thy

Timothy Of good report was taken
by Paul into the work OF telling the
Good News. They were forbidden
by the Holy Ghost to give this mes
sage in Asia. We are not told why,
but as bread is not good to those
who are not hungry. nor water except
to the thirsty; so there are many who
care nothing for the Bread OF Life
nor thirst for the Living Water"
and God who searches all hearts knew
just where the Good News was
wanted, and SO Europe received the
Gospel The Bible is full OF Good
News, but not to all There are
many who prefer the lies Of the devil;
who choose to conduct their own
trial instead Of taking the "Advo-
cate, who never lost case. no mat
ter how difficult. But now, as then,
the call is to those who hunger and
thirst, come, without money; eat,
drink, live. and to those who seek
deliverance from the judgment. II any

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Our freedom seeks no pathways strewn
with flowers.
She treads rough roads and guards UNI
even coasts,
And, battling with the might of adverse
powers,
She dares wars blood red hosts.
Her children must be earnest, calm and
thrifty,
Not quick to wrath, yet ready at her
call,
They knew her well-the dauntless five
and fifty
OF Independence hall.
They counted and accepted each priva-
ton,
The sacrifice of self by which they won
her.
When to the truths of that old Declare
ton
They pledged their lives and honor.
Freedom to us today is no newcomer,
Full oft, respondent, gazing in her
eyes,
We've caught the glow that draws the
warmth of summer
From winters tempest skies.
Yet more than all before are we her
debtors.
'Tis good and proper that we chant
her hymns,
For at our cali she struck the CALLING
letters.
OF from four million limbs.
She is our love. What though her breast
be CORY
And thousand SCARED? What though
the tyrant scorns?
Was not the head, ineffable in glory,
Once crowned with cruel thornsg
Anew, upon this birthday of the nation,
We pledge ourselves through years of
peace or strife
To those great principles which give du-
ration
To freedoms generous life.

Thrilling Adventure.

While the two little daughters Of
Hiram Johnston. living near George
town. were in a boat on the bayou
washing a poodle which they had
thrown overheard with rope attach
ed, an alligator swallowed the dog
and attacked the boat.
Johnston, hearing the girls screams,
ran and began firing his shotgun at
the beast. The rope tied to the dog
was also attached to the boat, and the
alligator started to go about in a cir
Gle. twisting the craft and nearly
spillingethe frightened children.
1t then started mp the bayou, drag
ging the boat after it. 1t made the
entire circuit Of the bayou, several
miles in distance, Johnston firing at
it whenever he could. He at last
shot it in the eye and the gator in
his pain upset the boat. Johnston
finished killing the beast, and some
friends rescued the girls.

POLITICAL
MISCELLANY.

Customs receipts, first SO months of
Wilson law, $445,oo5, 1913, first 80
months of Mckinley law, 1888, 767,-
447; loss in customs revenue under
Wilson law, $S7, 1862, 349. No COM
ment is needed.
The New Workers are still in trouble
over the prospective presence Of un-
welcome guests on the Fourth of July.
They succeeded in inducing" Mr..
Bryan to stay away, but the irrespres-
sible Altgeld announces that he will
be there wether they want him or
not, and that he proposes to make a
speech.
Buffoonery and cheap witticism are
sometimes effective under certain
circumstances but hardly SO in the
Senate of the United States. Senator
Vest has found this out in the failure
of his attempt to lessen the influence
of those Democrats who voted for pro-
lection by clubbing them cotton
tailed Democrats"
The workers in the cotton mills of
New England are already able to note
the contrast between a Republican
and Democratic administration in
the fact that the usual summer sus-
pension of work, which has prevailed
each year under the Wilson law, is to
be omitted this season and the mills
run on full time during the summer.
Senator Vests crocodile tears have
ceased to flow with reference to the
sugar features of the pending tariff
bill since the newspapers called his
attention to the fact that the increase
in the value of sugar-trust stocks
under his manipulation of the Wilson
bill was ten times as great as it has
been since the Dingley bill was taken
up.
Indications are still favorable for
the completion and final enactment of
the tariff measure by July 4. 1t is
also likely that the House rates on
wool, sugar, rice, and other agricul-
tural products will be fully restored.
since the Republicans Of the Senate
have already agreed to bring the wool
schedule back to within one cent of
the House rates, and it is likely that
the conference committee will fully
restore the House schedules on both
wool and sugar.
The free-silver Democrats who re-
joiced in alliance with Populism last
fall will be interested to know that
the middle-of-the-road Populists who
are assured of the control of the COM
ing convention of Populists at Mem
phis are out in pronunciamento
against further monkeying with the
semi-fiat dollar, and propose to go to
the full extreme of an absolute fiat
paper currency. Tom Watson, who
leads the middle-of-the-roaders, says

The foreign markets which have
been, since the repeal Of the Mckinley
law, closed to American meats are
likely TO be reopened through
negotiations now pending under
joint direction Of the Secretaries Of
Agriculture and State. 1t was the
work of&Ae Agriculture Department
and the State Department under the
Harrison administration, in conjunc-
ton with the reciprocity treaties made
possible by the Mckinley law, to
create for American farmers the best
markets for their meats which they
have ever had abroad, and it was the
repeal of that law and the destruction
of the reciprocity treaties by the
Cleveland administration which clos
ed these markets. The task of re-
storing it will be more difficult one
than was that of its original creation,
but Secretaries Wilson and Sherman
are hopeful of success.
The Democratic newspapers Of the
country are not treating Senators
Vest, Mills, and Jones and other
supporters of the Wilson law quite
right. These distinguished gentle
men started the tariff discussion with
the assertion that one great merit oil
the Wilson law was that it had, by
some mysterious process not quite
explained, increased the expectations
of our home manufactures. The
Democratic press, however, has come
to the aid of Messrs. Vest, Mills ct al.
with an explanation as to the true
cause of these large expectations.
such leading Democratic papers as the
Philadelphia Record, Memphis Scimi.
tar, New York Journal of Commerce
and others, now admit that this in
crease has been largely, if not entire
ly, due to the inability OF nanufac.
tuners to find market at home, since
our own markets were filled with
foreign goods, and the people were
unable to buy in considerable quanti-
ties because of lack of employment.
Business indications from all parts
of the country continue extremely
encouraging This is found both in
the statements of daily papers Of all
political classes, and especially in the
reports of the financial reviews which
make a special study of the field
through the unusual facilities which
they have built up by long years of
contact with business people IN all
parts of the country. Dun's Review,
whose statements on this subject are
accepted as an accurate financial
picture of conditions, in its issue Of
June 10 announces that the failures
of the week were but 1913 as against
276 for the corresponding week in the
preceding year, and adds: 1.-The gain
in business has become clear to all.
There is evidence of greatly charging
business in every important depart
ment. More establishments have
been set at work and more hands EN-
ployed, while reports from various
cities show very general progress
and continuing large distribution
through retail trade"

Inherited
Blood Taint.

Here is case of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
n complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
AFFLICTED with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life. :,
No child who has a trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
lions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that a child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. w. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. c.,
believes S.S.S. is the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate cases. He says:
