The HYPOCRISY OE TAFT

Taft, the man of many pounds adj
voirdupois, who 10 running, for presi-
dent of, the United states by orders
of President Roosevelt, is not only an
unbeliever in the divinity of Christ,
which he strenuously denies, but he is
far worse-he is q hypocrite. This
charge is made because it can be prov
en-. 1t was demonstrated at Kansas
City a week ago Sunday when Mr..
Taft was the guest of that burg at
the mouth of the Kaw. f.. e.
Mr.. Taft arrived in Kansas City on
Sunday morning. The first thing he
did was to go to one of the fashionable
churches of that city, his coming hav-
ing been carefully advertised by the
politicians. At the conclusion of the
services he made an address to the citi-
zens and assembled politicians. Then
he went to another church and did
likewise. Then he went to another
church and did likewise Then he adj
dressed an overflow meeting of church
members, citizens and politicians. At
all of these meetings, Mr.. Taft admit
ted that he knew but very little about
the subject On which he was billed to
speak, but said that he believed in a
general way that the Y. NJ. G. A. was
very good thing.
Then Mr.. Taft did the great act of
his religious career. He went to a
colored church in the suburbs and
accompanied by q gang Of politicians,
addressed the assembled negro worship
pers and negro politicians; then he
capped the climax by coming outside
the chapel, getting into the center Of
a great crowd of blacks and having q
photograph of the assemblage taken.
This, of course, will be used as cam
paign material in quarters to be selec-
ted by Mr.. Taft's managers and no
doubt will prove very beneficial to his
cause among the negroes. After hav-
ing thus religiously consumed the day,
Mr.. Taft put on the finishing touches
' by discussing theology with such
eminent theologians rs Dickey, Boards
ley, Mann and that star theologian,
Baron William II. Nelson, who edits
the vilest sheet in Missouri.
= Such prostitution of the church for
Athe purpose Of vote catching is an inn
\. position on the Christian people of the
country and it should not bo permitted
g with impunity. The spectacle of Taft,
wan unbeliever galloping around on
I, Sunday and desecrating the church es
81 with political speeches is one that
,e should bring the blush of shame to the
J. check of every true Christian in these
~ United States.-St. Joseph Observer.

4 HARD STRUGGLE
Many a Lexington Citizen
Finds the STRUGGLE Hard.

With a back constantly aching,
With distressing urinary disorders,
Daily existence is but struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, Prosperity, S..
c., says: MY kidneys were out of
order for long time, causing terrible
pains through my loins and limbs.
There was also a constant aching in
my back and On some occasions, l
could scarcely get about. My kid
neys were 80 frequent in action that
I would be obliged to arise several
times at night and despite the fact
that I consulted several physicians, I
was becoming discouraged and had
about given up hopes of ever being
cured when my son-in-law bought a
box of Doan's Kidney Pills for me.
He had read that they were good for
kidney trouble and induced me to try
them. did 80 with the result that
when I had taken the contents of two
boxes, the backache disappeared and
the kidneys were brought back to
their proper condition. Ihave recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills to many
of my friends and will continue to do
so, as l consider them worthy of all
that can be said in their favor"

Views On the Free Bridge.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Ithas been long time since have
written anything for the press, and I
would not write this, but in looking
over last weeks Dispatch I notice a
communication from some friend from
Chaplin inquiring what has become of
our free bridge. 1, likewise, have
been wondering what has become of
it; but unlike him, I hope it has died
the death it deserves. With half
dozen ferries, more or less, on Saluda
fail to see the necessity of taxing
the people of Lexington county to
build this free bridge, which will ben
eft only few people who are fortu-
nate enough to live near, while thous-
ands of her people will live and die
without ever seeing it.
When business intercourse between
the two sections demand it, then 1
say let us have it; until then if we
have business at the county seat we
know how and where to cross and if
it is not of sufficient Importance to
Justify US in paying the small amount
of ferriage we would better stay at
home.
My Chaplin friend says: "The ma
jority of us want it, while few are
opposed to it thinking that their tax
will be little higher" I do not
know if he has reference to Chapin
only or the whole county. If the
whole county I wonder how he has
arrived at this conclusion. In regard
to taxation want to say that a few
more railroads, few more bridges,
and few more raisings of officials
salaries and I think we had better
turn our little farms over to the gov
ernment and do like the darkey-have
If this bridge question is not dead I
think it should be made an issue in
the coming campaign. Tell the peo-
pie where it is to be located; tell them
Whatit will cost; tell them how much
money we have in the county treas
ury; tell them they are to be taxed
to build this bridge, and last and best
of ali, let them 60 to the polls on
election day and say whether CT not
they want this bridge.
1t is claimed by some that the su-
pervisor has the power to build this
bridge without consulting the people.
IT this be true, then every candidate
aspiring to this Office should be re-
quired to state his position and then
the people would be prepared to vote
for the man they wanted.
7 hope some one who can give US
reliable information in regard to steel
bridge building will come out and tell
US something of the cost of such
bridges and let the people know some
thing about it. Sam Pack.

AS to Service Of Jurors.

The recent general assembly made
some changes in the law compelling
jurors to serve when they are drawn.
Here is what the new law in part says:
THAT if any juror duly summoned
shall neglect or refuse to appear in
obedience to any venire issued by any
police or municipal or magistrate
court and shall not within 4S hours
render to the recorder or magistrate
holding such police or magistrate
court and issuing the venire, a suffi-
cient reason for his delinquency, he
shall forfeit and pay fine of $40, and
upon failure to pay the fine he shall
be judged in contempt and shall be
punished, provided no person shall be
required to serve on a jury in said
courts oftener than once each month
of the year."

If one feels dull and spiritless, in the
spring or early summer, they call it
Spring Fever" But there is no fever
usually. It is the after effect Of our
winter habits. The nerves are mostly
at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave
US lanquid, lifeless, and without spirit
or ambition A few doses of DR.. Shoop's
Restorative will absolutely and quickly
change all of these depressing SYMPTOMS.
The Restorative of course won't bring
you back to full health in day or two,
but it will do enough in 48 hours to sat-
1sfy you that the remedy is reaching
that "tired spot" Druggists every
where are advising its use as a splendid
and prompt general tonic. 1t gives
more vim and more spirit to the spoon
full than any other known nerve or con-
stitutional tonic. It sharpens failing
appetite, aids digestion, frees sluggish
ivers and kidneys, and brings new life,
strength and ambition. Test it a few
days and be convinced. Sold by The

PREACH LAST SERMON

Tomorrow evening Rev. H. NJ.
Pingree will preach his last sermon
in this conference year and will leave
Monday for Longmont where the reg
ular annual meeting of the Metho dist
conference will be in session for a
i week
This is the executive council of
the denomination and among other
things they assign, to The different
churches, the pastors for the follow.
ing year I hus it is that. until such
assignments are made. there is
nothing certain as to whether a
minister will be returned to his
place. The object of changes being
primarily for the better building mp
of the organization as whole
With the knowledge of what Mr..
Pingree has accomplished for the
church in Florence and also that no
man could come here and carry on the
work where he would leave off with
out general retrograding and de-
moralization of progress made it is
devoutly hoped that in the wisdom of
the official heads they will see the
advantage in returning him to Flor
ence.
Pingree is the type of man Flor.
ence needs, and that appeals to the
particular class of the people here.
He is possessed Of business head and
directness Of dealing and public ex-
preston. He is progressive, coura-
geous and energetic; broad in his
civic and religious views; good
mingler among all kinds of people
and so popular; is tactful and diplo-
matte, truthful and fair and SO car.
ries the influence so necessary to all
public men and especially the church
His efforts here have been reward
ed by marked success. When he came
here three years ago the church and
parsonage was heavily in debt. One
Of the first things he did was TO clear
this Off and now there is no incum-
brance Oh the church and only small
balance on the parsonage. The in
provements made on it would probab.
ly offset the Indebtedness. During
the past year more than $500 has been
added 10 the value of the property
in the sidewalks, etc.
In the last year 60 people have
been added to the membership and
in the three years more than 150 addi-
tions have been made. With these
things fresh in mind we are firm in
the belief that he should be returned
TO Florence for another year at least.

Fridays afternoon session of the

discussion of the "tronbles Of the mill

There we're nine papers read on dif-
lerent phases OF millers' troubles. That
there Is lsrge OverproductiOn by tue
milltrs of the county and that this Is
responsible ia large measurs for their
difficulties seemed to be the consensus OF
opinion.
A paper prepared by Thomas Wilson,
of Leit1, Scotland, representing the Ma
tionsl Association OF Flour Importers in
thst city, was read by Secretary Goetz'

that il they do not pay more attention tC
securing quick dispatch of their ship
ments they will find their market seri'
ously threatened by the British millers,
who ara in position to make quick de-
livtries.
Secretary GoetEmann discussed th'

by the manufacturers of prepared break

of the harmiulnea of white -four and th'
superiority OF their preparations should
