Strengthen the lungs as you
woald weak land and the

The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too. but it is very hard

The time to treat consump-

to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't waiteuntil you can't
deceive your Self any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. II
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but If you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat,
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Makes A Statement
Concerning His Recent Attack on
Masonry-Claims to Have
been misrepresentation
Reiteration.

understand that there have
appeared in the Columbia State,
and In some other papers, state
ments that l have in recent ser,
mons exposed the secrets of Free
Masonry. | wish to say that
these statements are false. | have
not even preached sermon on
Masonry. | simply alluded to
Masonry in two of my recent SER
mons, saying that L did not see
how Christian men could be Ma
sons, and that any man who de,
pends on Masonry for salvation Is
depending on false hope. In
commenting ON this statement L
gave my reasons for condemning
secret societies and especially
Masonry as the mother of them
all. said of Masonry that (l) it
teaches false regeneration, (2) it
beclouds Gods Word making it's
sweetest passages to Christians
mean nothing but Masonry, (3) it
rejects the Lord Jesus Christ in
not allowing His name used in
the lodge, not even in prayer, (4)
1T is tinged with Roman Catholi-
clsm, erecting buildings to the
holy st. Johns, (5) it is a survival
of sun worship or Baalism CO. 1t
fosters Il spirit of murder by an
awful death penalty oath, (6) it
puts Christians in common fra.
ternity with the wicked, (7) it
fosters disrespect for law by binds
ing men to protect and defend
each other even III unIawfulness.
l believe the New Testament con-
dennis secretism in the following
passages: John 3: 19-21:I. Cor,
4: Is; Eph. 5: II: Matt. 10:
90.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l. trust that
you and the Honea Path and
Greenville papers will do me the
justice of publishing this article
verbatim, that l may not be mis-
represented by those who would
make it appear that l havea spirit
of condemnation for my brethren
and friends. l have said nothing
OF men but have disapproved of
system. Many good men go
wrong and sometimes for a long
timeA n. G. Haddock.
Liberty, Dec. 1, 1902.
The Masonic order will doubt
less take care of itself. So far as
publications in The State are con-
cerned, Mr.. Haddock has put up
straw man TO hit. The States
correspondents truthfully noted
Mr.. Haddock's attack on Mason-
ry and recorded his acknowledge
ment, when questioned from the
floor, that be was not familiar
with the secret workings of the
order. Most secret societies,
springing from the mother, Ma
sonry, have as their mudsills some
such sinful (?) principles as the
Charity of Christ, the truth of
God and Confusion to the Phari.
