There Is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies.
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney s.
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
~teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

Upward of $50 houses were partially

persons rendered temporarily homeless in
Northeast Baltimore by a tornado which
struck the city shortly after noon Sunday
The tornado was attended by a tremen'
dous electrical display and a mighty
dow mp our of hail and rain. The entire
Bohemian colony was rendered practical
ly homeless, and, as a result of the havoc
wrought by the storm, is in need of i'm

Ancient lightning Rods

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed as ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which shows
that they knew how to protect them
selves from the danger that lies in q
thunderstorm. Even SO long ago as
the tenth century lightning was divert
ed FROM fields by planting in them
long sticks or poles, on top OF which
were lance heads. 1t Is said that the
Celtic soldiers used to try to make
themselves safe from the stroke dur
ing storm by lying on the ground
with their naked swords planted point
upward beside them.
There was long ago on the shore OF
the Adriatic sen stronghold known
as Dunfe castle, on the highest tower
of which there was an iron rod that
was used as means Of telling when a
storm was approaching in summer. A
soldier was always stationed near the
rod when the sea had threatening
look, and 1t was his duty to frequently
put the iron point of his javelin close
to the rod, watching for the spark that
would tell him it was time to warn the
fishermen by ringing big bell.

child abor bill is the most important
IN asnre yet introduced. A discussion
of this subject and the enaction of q
law in regard to it, will, of course
bring up it's correlative-a compulsory

pregnant with meaning that the best

right, and the pious divine enjoyed the
luxury of the best of furnishings. Only
one thing he did not like, and that was
nude picture which hung on one of
the walls. 1t was a thing of beauty as
it came from the hands of one of tn e
masters, and represented handsome
cost in money. But for reasons which
have not been explained to us, DR.. Tur-
ner could neither look upon this pic
ture nor contemplate it's beauty with
the holy emotions that should pervade
the heart and mind oe that pious preach
er. Being an upright man, and, as far
as we know, pure in heart he could not
temporize or compromise his convic-
tions.
The w. C. T. u had not then come
into existence, and the matter was not
referred to the newspapers at all. DR..
Turner needed no counsel. His con-
victions were clear, and his duty was
plain. There was no time for foolish
ness. The moment for action had
come. That picture was unlocked from
the wall. 1t was carried to the wood
pile in the back yard, where the Pious
Doctor, like the Truthful George, used
his hatchet on the picture until the
most expert eye in such things could
not have recognized in it Il thing of
beauty or work of art.
Until the close of the war, the Doc
tor slept the sleep of the just with the
conviction of a conscientious duty we'll
performed When General MCGOWAN
returned and learned the fate of his
most costly picture, he thought the
vulgar minded preacher might have
turned the picture to the wall. He
made the above observation, however,
after he had relieved himself of suita-
bic number of eXpletives.

WHAT REV. DIR. TURNER DID TO

How Distinguished Preacher Solved
a Question of Morals--A Good
Story by Mr.. Hugh Wilson.

In the last issue of the Abbeville
Press and Banner, Editor Hugh Wilson
writes the clever story printed below
which will be of interest to those who
remember the late distinguished Pres
byterian Minister, DR.. Mcneil Trrner
and General Samuel MCGOWAN.
Rev. DR.. Turner was we'll known in
Laurens, having preached here fire.
quently many years ago and in other
parts of the county:
Some ime ago the President placed
in the White House, as work of art,
a nude picture, and since then the w.
G. Il. U. have been greatly exercised
thereat, protesting against the reten-
tion of the painting on the wall of the
executive mansion.
Various of the great newspapers OF
the country, including the News and
Courier, have taken up the question,
and, from different points of view, are
discussing the proprieIy of the Presi-
dents action. We hayo heard nothing
from the White House as to the result
of the w. G. II. u. resolutions and the
newspaper comment.
If our brethren will permit, we will
relate little incident, as it was told
to us, concerning picture which
we presume, was clothed not entirely
different from the representation which
is made of the picture that adOrns the
walls of the Presidents studio or art
gallery.
When the war broke out Gen. Nc
GoWan was one of the first to take an
active part. His house was vacated,
and he left pictures and furniture in
the building. In the course of time
the Rev. ID. Mcneil Turner became the
temporary occupant in the absence OF
the owner. The furniture was all

1t is reported that there are now, and
have been for several weeks past. a
number of cases of smallpox in and

are entirely among the negroes. The
prevalence of the disease was called to

accordingly, referred it to DIR. Evans of

ease isnot of very virulent type. There
were 26 cases when reported to the
