But / wish on behalf of those who live

very profound acknowledgment to those
who had the good taste to choose a great
sculptor to do this work. I thank them for
having erected here in so well chosen

in peace is the very man who at need will
do well in war. If peace is merely another
name for self-indulgence, for sloth, for
timidity, for the avoidance of duty, have
none of 1t. Seek the peace that comes to a
just man armed, who will dare to defend
his rights IL the need should arise Seek
the peace granted to him who will wrong
no man and will not submit to wrong in
return. Seek the peace that comes to us
as the peace of righteousness, the peace of
justice Ask peace because your deeds and
your powers warrant you in asking 1t, and
do not put yourself in the position to
crave It as something to be granted or
withheld at the within OF another.
IF there Is one thing which we should
wish as a nation to avoid, 1t is the teaching
of those who would reinforce the lower
promptings Of our hearts, and so teach us
to seek only life of effortless ease. of
mere material comfort. The material de-
have a right to be proud, provided that we
keep our pride rational and within meas
ure, brings with it certain great dangers;
and one of those dangers Is the confound-
ing Of means and ends. Material develop
ment means nothing to a nation as an end
In itself. If America Is to stand simply
for the accumulation OF what tells for
comfort and luxury, then It will stand for
little, indeed, when looked at through the
vistas of the ages. America will stand
for much, provided only that 1t treats ma
terial comfort, material luxury, and the

WORTH PRESERVING
RECIPE FOR INDIGESTION.

Here is a simple prescription
given out by a noted specialist on
stomach troubles:
Two ounces Essence of Pepsin;
three ounces Syrup of Ginger: one
ounce Catandir Compound. Take
from one to two teaspoonfuls after
each meal; also at bedtime for the
first few days" A well-known To-
cal druggist is authority that these
ingredients form what is known as
the Pasteur formula and that the
ingredients, while being harmless,
and pleasant to the taste, are prob
ably the most powerful remedy
known to science for restoring the
digestive organs to their normal
condition and relieving the dis
tressing effects of indigestion, such
as belching, bloating. headaches
and bowel pains. Besides. 1t has a

mother who has done her full duty
She often has a pretty hard time, the
President remarked, and he added: yet
the woman who thus with labor and ankle
ty brings up her children is blessed among
women, blessed among men. I do not pity
her in the least. respect and admire her,
and hold her worthy of admiration and
honor. The selfish creature, man or woman,
who reaches old age having achieved ease
by Sinking duty, is to be heartily despised
and not envied. Our admiration is reserved
for him or for her who has done the real
work which makes the next generation able
in its turn to do its work in the country"
"Foolish Good Nature"
The President declared that a foolish
good nature, a weak good nature, incapable
of righteous wrath, is almost as unfortu-
nate an attribute for citizen of this de-
mocracy as willingness to do wrong On the

against wrong, you will accomplish bat lit

The President concluded as follows:
America must rise level to the ideals
of the founders of the nation when they
started this mighty republic on the road
of self-governmeEt. Those ideals in their
sum were to found here a government of
the people by the people. where no one
man should wrong his brother, where the
nation should wrong no outsider, and
should be able to resist aggression from
without. I hope to see this nation play
an ever-growing part in the affairs of the
world. cannot plat that part unless it is
willing to accept the responsibilities that
go with it.

hand down as undying memories to your
children, are the things that were done in
the days that brought little pleasure with

you had 1t in you dauntlessly to do your
share in the work allotted to you your

The President said that we are yet a good

mum and our business Is to do our own
duty and teach our children to do their duty

I'VE cannot do that duty by fine phrases.

Trains Have Close Call.

FORT MILL, July 28.-A head-on
collision between Southern trains No.
80, northbound, and No. 27, south
bound, was averted by so yards a
half-nrile north of Adger's this morn
ing. Both trains were running dead
on time and had orders to meet at
Adger's, No. 27 taking the sidetrack.
For some reason No. 80 did not stop
1t Adger's to await the arrival of
No. II, but ran half a mile past the
station when the engineer saw the
southbound train coming. A col
lision was averted by the application
of the air brakes to both trains. No.
80 then backed to Adger's and took
the sidetrack and No. 27 proceeded
southwark. =.
Conductor Harling stated that the
failure of his train to pass No. 27 at
Adger's as ordered was not due to
carelessness on his part. That when
the station blow for Adger's was
sounded he ordered his porter to sig
nal the engineer to stop, which was
done. No statement could be had
from Engineer McDougal.
There were about 20 passengers IN
the day coach. Only a few of the
number were aware of the impending
collision until all danger was past.
No feeling of resentment was ex-
pressed for the train crew.

Brother Against Brother.

WATERFORD, July 25.-An inter
esting trial was held here Friday be-
fore Magistrate Bryan. E. P. Hern-
don swore out a warrant against his
brother, A. H. Herndon, for assault
and battery and cursing on the public
highway, and for assault with pistol:
and for carryind pistol. The trial
lasted nearly all day, whenA. H.
Herndon was found guilty and SEN
fenced under the first count Of the
Indictment to pay fine of five
dollars or serve ten days on the chain
gang, and the cause of the second
count of Indictment was sent up to
the court of general sessions for trial.
Itseems that on Wednesday Quillle
Hudson had hired a horse from A. H.
Herndon to ride to the picnic at
Snider's. E. P. Herndon and Hudson
drove the horse in wagon, instead
of riding it, as Herndon claimed they
had hired it for. During the day A.
H. Herndon heard they had driven
his horse and Immediately set out to
meet them and get satisfaction. He
met the wagon returning near Pine
Grove cemetery. and Immediately
began to curse and abuse his brother.
They had a pretty warm time for
awhile and the result was the indict-
ment above. Mr.. J. M. Walker rep
resented the defendant.

MYSTERIOUS FIRES EXPLAINED?
A Negro Girl Charged With Starting
Numerous Fires.

UNION, July 26.-The series of seven
mysterious fires, all occurring Mon
day afternoon within an hour and a
half at the home of Mr.. John Wix, a
we'll known citizen of Buffalo, which
was followed the next day by four
more fires in rapid succession, which
were equally as apparently inexpll-
cable, has resulted in the arrest of a
negro girl on the charge of arson.
The girl was named Roxanna
Meadow who for some time has been
employed in Mr.. Wix's family. She
is about IA years old and we'll grown
for her age.
All the circumstances leading up to
her arrest are circumstantial, but Mr.
Wix thinks she is undoubtedly the
cause of all his trouble, and while he
knows of no reason why she should
entertain i'll will for any of his
family, he thinks she must have sud
denly become possessed with mania
for burning.
