Dedication.

Last Sunday morning a new and
beautiful house of worship in the
manufacturing town of Newry,
Oconee county, was dedicated to the
service of God. Nine years ago /
aided in the organization of church
OF 70 members at this point. Faith
ful work has been done by the pas
tors who have served it. The church
now numbers 130 members and has
a very flourshing Sunday school of
l73 members. During these years
the church and Sunday school met
in hall provided by the company.
The church determined to build a
house for God. Their efforts were
nobly seconded by the distinguished
President of the mill, Capt. w. A.
Courtenay, and by his family, and as
result Newry has its first house of
worship completed, with no debt
resting upon it. 1t is said to be the
finest church building in Oconee
county. Under the leadership of
its pastor, Rev. w. w. Leathers,
with Gods blessing, it will soon be.

Insurance Estimates OF tho Baltimore Fire.

Baltimore, February 12.-Reports
coming in from all sides indicate
that the rebuilding of the destroyed
part of the city will soon begin. In
surance men have gone over the
ground and held conferences and
now estimate the loss at 1925, 100000.
The insurance is placed at from $780,
100000, to $9O,OOO,OOO. 1t is con-
sidered very fortunate that valuable
papers, stocks and bonds in vaults in
banks were not injured. This re-
duces the loss a great deal. IL is
feared that after ten days grace the
banks will be unable to satisfy the
demands for money Withdrawals.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh ia
blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure is not quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years, and Ia a repu-
lar prescription. II is composed of the
pest tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect com
plnation OF the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results in cur
ing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free.

TilIman for President.

Since the inevitable seems to be
the nomination of the dauntless and
heroic Roosevelt for Presidentby the
Republicans, why should not the
Democrats give us the bravest, most
genial, energetic and wholesome man
in either house at Neutrality-suspicious.
jamin Ryan Tillman-as their
nominee
Tillman stands out as one of the
safest men in either pai ~ to select
as President. He is safe because of
his matchless courage. No man liy-
ing would be less swayed to lend
himself to the clamors of the mob,
or to some violent economic heresy.
lie has convinced the nation that
ne lives up to what he believes. He
successfully led the afle in South
Carolina for fair representation in
the Legislature for the interior peo-
pie, and won in the face of tho
roughly entrenched opposition. He
favored the dispensary law, and it
became law. He then made it
effective, although the State militia
from the large cities defied him, and
certain Federal Courts lent their
efforts TO nullify that dispensary
statute.
When Tillman entered the Senate,
it was almost impossible to fnd a
man north of the Mason and Dixon
line to put in print above his own
signature that it was the folly of
follies to thrust upon the illiterate
black man the right of suffrage.
1t was Tillman who shocked us by
telling the truth. lie has now con-
vinced fair-minded people that
the white man of the South has
done and is doing what only self-re-
specting men should do, to wit mini
mizlng the influence of ignorance,
incapacity and superstition as much
as possible in public life to the ex-
tent that if they will not even learn
to read, then deprive them of the
ballot.
This brusque, fearless man is the
gentlest of men when out Of the DO
litioal arena. Ask those who know
his home life best, Northerners or
Southerners, and they will all attest
that this gladiator of the Senate is
one of the most lovable, kind and
considerate of men to family, friends
and servants, and it makes no differ
ence whether the servants are black
or white.
Little has ever been made known
as to Tillman's love of music, poetry
and good literature. 1t is a question
whether another man lives who has
so studied the thoughts and life of
Lincoln.
No doubt many Democrats will not
take kindly to Tillman as President.
He would be wholly American and
patriotic. 1t might CRATE harshly on
some of them to find the Spooners
and Chambers as welcome to the
White House as the most orthodox
Democrat, but the country could
stand that.
Roosevelt on the one ticket and
Tillman on the other would give us
spirited and spectacular campaign !;
but the result no one need to fear, as
we know the pecularities of both
men, and we can rest assured that
each would give US an administration
distinctly characteristic of himself

ROsin Market Trade Never on
Firmer Basis, md Higher Prices
Prevail in All Grades.
Cotton was not the only thing that
showed a bullish tendency, as those
who trade in naval stores were quite
well satisfied at the buoyant and firm
tone the market assumed in spirits
mand, and the latter were freely sold
at the markets close at prices con-
siderably over the quotations posted
at the Board of Trade.
There was lively bidding for "pales"
in particular and the higher grades
were grabbed up as soon as offered.
Mr.. John r. Young, president of the
Tank Company, showed his hand in
the turpentine market and as a result
56s4c was bid for to-days receipts.
That "pales" were in such demand
is due to the fact that not as much
of this grade of rosin is coming in
as was expected at this time. Owing
to the present prices of resins this
is considered by factors as a most
opportune time to ship. The same
holds true of the turpentine trade.
TURPENTINE - The turpentine
market closed firm at 56Ac. Late in
the afternoon a well known exporter
bought largely on the Bay at 56Ac.
1t is expected that prices will go
higher to-day, owing to the fact that
the Tank Company is in the field, and
competition is expected to be brisk.
Sales 499 casks, receipts 1870 casks, ex-
ports 81 casks.
ROSINS-Owing to the cold weather
there have been few offerings of ros-
ms, as it has been impossible for the
inspectors to cut samples, and labor
has been scarce for the same reason.
The rosin market. however, was
never on a tirmer basis, and the fac
tors are sanguine that prices will
soar" very shortly.
All of the grades are picked up as
soon as they are offered, and as a
I consequence the factors tables are
cleared of samples long before the
close of the market. Receipts 2,347

The business I am connected with
uses some anilines, and once when our
chemist was absent 1 saw a salesman
from a company with whom we had
never dealt. He did not catch my
name, and after the offer of cigar,
he leant forward and whispered
IF you can get those colors in, III
see that you get per cent. on all or
ders." l looked a little astonished and
he FASTENED to add:
Make it 10 per cent" This tempted
me into leading him on, and | said:
"Oh, you don't do as we'll as your
neighbors." He Strengthened up and
said:
Fix the price on that color $3.50
per pound Che had already quoted 81
per pound on iO, and We'll give you
IS cents on every pound you order
AS we order 300 or 400 pounds at a
time this would make a very tidy sum-
Needless to say, the order was not
placed. Another aniline salesman once
told me he had to do it or lose his job
1 simply told him we tested and bought
goods on their merits and did not take
commissions.
