Proverbs
" When the butter won't

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an Old time dairy
provcrb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphlteS
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is 50 perfectly adapted
80 their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
mcpt.

Southern Baptist Convention

The forty-eighth session of the
Southern Baptist convention, which
is claimed to be the largest delibera-
tive body in the world, will be held
in Savannah, Ga., this year beginning
May 7tb. It's sessions will be held
in the First Baptist church there. It
is anticipated that between 1900 and
5000 delegates will be in attendance.
Preparations for the care of this i'm
mense gathering are now in course of
preparation in Savannah. A room
for the secretaries has been secured
in the De Soto and all delegates will
be urged to register there as soon
as possible after they arrive in
the city. One of the chief matters
of consideration in Savannah is how
to house the enormous influx of visi-
tors.

feather and would do so again. Mr.
Nelson stated that there were further
threats which Miss Roper would tes-
tify to, and that she had 80 no flied
members of Mr.. Tillman's family.
Colonel Croft pointed out that the
defendant was now in Jail and that if
the defense was forced to submit the
ahfdavits as evidence it would GER
tainly not have the same effect as the
personal appearance of the witnesses
themselves, who would surely be here
next time.
Judge Klugh in continuing the case
said that while undoubtedly the tech
nical rules of the court had not been
complied with in grave case of this
kind the practice is not binding. In
order to arrive at the facts in a case
the jury must determine upon the
credibility of a witness, and in sddi-
tion to this the affidavit of Miss Ro-
per sets forth that there were further
threats which ths witness should tes-
tify to and these might not be set
forth in the afGda7its. Therefore the
motion for continuance was granted.
Solicitor Thurmond asked that the
prisionor be arrsigned for trial any
how, but the Judge decided that this
would not be of any special advant-
age either to the State or the defense
in this procedure. The case was
then closed and shortly after the pris-
oner was taken back to the Jail by
the Sheriff.
Col Nelson stated that no applica,
tion would be made for bail and that
tho defense would be ready for trial
at the next term of court in June.
Miss Roper, who, according to the
Sheriff of Spartanburg county, is in
New York, has promised to be here,
and the physicians who submitted a
certificate in regard to Whites con-
dition stats that he will be able to
attend ther.
Throughout the hearing Col. Till
man maintained his composure, occa-
sionally leaning over to speak to bis
uncle, and the announcement that
the case would be continued did not
seem to concern him in anyway. He
walked out behind the Sheriff with
out handouts as he came in, and al
though crowd had gathered to see
him as he passed along, he looked
straight ahead without recognizing
any one.

Docking horses, cutting their tails
off, is an abominal habit among
fashionable people in the large cities.
The Societies for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals often cause the
arrest of poor men dependent upon
their daily labor for living, who are
found driving bruised or sore horse
or with too heavy load on the wag-
on, but we have never heard of their
causing the arrest of a fashionable
man or woman for driving a bobtailed
horse, deprived of his best defense
against pestiferous flies.

Bravest Battles Ever Fought.

The bravest battle that was ever
fought!
Shall I tell you when and where?
On the maps of the earth you will
find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
Nay, not with cannon, or battle shot,
With sword, or nob!er pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word or
thought,
From mouth of wonderful men.
But deep in walled up woman's heart,
A woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silent bore her part
Lo! There is that battle field.
No marshalling troops, no bivouac
song,
No banner to glenn and wave;
But, Ca! these battles they last 30
long
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet, faithful still as bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town,
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then silent unseen-goes down.
o, ye, with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
I tell you the kingliest victories
fought,
Were fought in these silent ways.
O, spotless woman in a world of
shame!
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you
came,
The kingliest warrior born!
Joaquin Miller.
