fully acouiesce in your wishes,

| for l believe 1t to be the duty OF
every good citizen-and among
good citizens I expect to be
numbered rs long as | live-to
discharge any public 6uiy to
which he may be assigned, if he
feels that he is qualified to render
efficient service.
"But I notice in tho paners this
morning that your action in the
matter is displeasing to the State
Superintendent of Education, for
the reason as expressed by him
that he regards the appointment
as political rather than educa-
tional.'
"Without taking the pains to
discuss the merits of the objection
thus stated by the State Superin-
tendent of Education, 1 write at
once to relieve your Excellency
from any embarrassment IN ref
erence to the matter.
"I would not be willing for any
consideration to be thescause of
the lack of harmony in any de-.
partment to the public sesvice-
especially in connection with a
matter of such overwhelming inn
portsnce as tho educational ia
terests of the State; nor would |
be willing to serve in any capaci-
ty with any official who feels that
the service that 1 might render
would by possibility seriously in
jure the work of his department.
81, therefore, respectfully re-
quest your Excellency to recon-
slider your action and revoke The
appointment.
"Thanklng you again for the
honor conferred l remain with

The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical
scientists are unanimous in the
conclusion that the generally &C
cepted limitation of human life is
many years below the attainment
possible with. the advanced knowl-
edge of which the race is now pos
sessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration, seems to
be between so and 60; the proper
care of the body during this de-
cade cannot be too strongly urged;
carelessness then being fatal to
longevity. Natures best helper
after so is Electric Bitters, the
scientific tonic medicine that re-
vltalizes every organ of the body,

Z: Dear Sir:
The Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Urion has in
structed me, as ITS secretary to
express, to you onr appreciation
of, and to thank you for the stand
you take upon the liquor ques-
ton. Most especially do We refer
to your excluding from your col
urnns advertisements of Wholesale
and retail liquor houses.
Very sincerely,
Mrs. w. L. Dunovant,
Secretary.
July 2srd, 1907.
We are deeply grateful for this
expression of appreciation and
endorsement of our stand upon
the liquor question, especially
when the source from which it
came is considered. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union is
composed of about fifty high
minded, Jealous, Christian women
and q DOZEN or more representa-
tive men, the latter being honora-
~ members.
The writer has always, private
ly and publicly, endeavered to
cnrtail and suppress the use of
s;intoxicants. Therefore, believing
that advertising wliskey would
contribute to an increased con-.
sumption, we have stcutly refused
TO advertise intoxicating liquors
for anyone st any price. AS long
as the present editor is at the
helm, the..policy Of this newspaper
will remain unchanged.
The foregoing communication
will stimulate and encourage us
to still greater activity in our
efforts to curtail the use of intoxi-
cants in Edgefeld county.

No finger bowls were provided for use in the
tig dining room. Neither were there any nap
lins Perhaps because OF this or some other
equally good reason the Haffenites protested
that the dinner was not good enough This SO
shocked Joseph and Louis Witzel that they
rushed into the dining room TO find where ths
trouble lay. To emphasize their complaints one
of the diners flung heavy bowl full of clam
chowder. which hit Joseph Witzel on the head
and sent him TO the floor. Theodore Witzel was
hit on the nose by plate. and nose and plate
were broken
The walters rallied his support, and before
the reserves could get there from Whitestone
most OF the crockery which had been on the
table was in pieces. PRED Brand, one OF inc
Haffen men. got table knife japbed into MS
back but not far enough TO do much damage

Washington Aug. 21.-Following meeting OF
the executive council Of the American Fedora

has been made evident that there is to be
concerted effort against that interest He
would give particulars. nor was he prepared
to say to what attorney the preparation or the
case would be intrusted.
Mr. Gompers in interview to-day charged
that the recent Van Cleave injunction proceed

lists were instigated by the Manufacturers As
