met with is generally from the ignorant and
misguided classes of men who are blinded by
the bigotry and hatred awakened in their hearts
by those devoted to prcstcraft and political
cllicancry And while determined effort has
been made on the part of some bgoted and
malicious souls to inure the cause of Zion and
retard the spread of the message of truth
among the honest minded people of the world,
we are pleased to say that their determination
to do injury has been overruled by divine
Providence and has resulted in good, and their
influence today is comparatively impotent and
their attacks are without the results that fol-
lowed such attacks in days that are past.
HEADQUARTERS OF MISSIONS
This year the Church has expended consid-
cradle means in securing and fitting up per-
manent headquarters in the missions and COLI
ferences Of the Church abroad Some Of these
are fine structures and well suited for the pur-
poses of meetings and homes for the Elders.
We find that.our possessing meeting halls and
headquarters gives us greater respect among
our outside friends and encourages our
Saints to make greater exertion to bring
their friends to our meetings 1t gives
them confidence in the solidity of the
work and makes it easier for them to

to that Of the martyrs for the cause of truth
in all ages Of the world We rejoice i'll the
precious assurance given in the Gospel that
they and their kindred who remain faithful
to the truth will come up together in the morn
ing Of the resurrection crowned with glory,
immortality and everlasting life. The efficiency
capability, carnestness and devotion to duty
of those who have been called to the respon-

Not one Of these has ever shrunk from any

Prof. ID. w. Daniel, of Clemson Col
lcgc, Writes to MIR. Becker.
columbia State, 10Th. }


The plan advanced by August F.
Becker to beautify the State House
grounds by securing a tree from each
county in the State has aroused a
great deal Of interest throughout the

farm Of John G. Calhoun. The letter
is as follows:
Clemson College, S. c., Nov. H.
August f. Becker, Columbia, S. c.:
Dear Sir-I see that you are thinking
of getting tree from each county to
put out on the State House grounds.
| think the idea is a good one. Our
native trees are beautiful-much
more SO than we realize until we live
a while away from them.
If some one else does not volunteer
to do so, | shall be glad to undertake
to furnish tree from Pickens or
Oconee. Sincerely yours,
d. w. Daniel.

PLENTY OF EXERCISE NECES-
SARY

Plenty Of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in
a healthy condition. Any excessive
or unusual eXertion, however, is sure
to cause stiffness and soreness Of the
muscles and joints.
To counteract this effect there is
nothing better than Sloan's Liniment.
Lay it on lightly where the muscles
have been strained; it requires no
rubbing for it penetrate right to the
bone, relieves any congestion and in
flammatinn and makes the muscles
elastic and plant.
Sloan's Linimcnt is a great boon
to athletes, for 1t not only relieves
pain and stiffness, but 1t Is an excel
lent remedy for sprains, cuts bruises
and cramps.
J. F.. Price, Of Tuscumbia, Ala.
writes: 81 am an engineer on the
Southern road from Chattanooga to

dcrcd and Robbed Aged Man.

Vineland, N. j., Nov. 2O.-The ar
rest last night of Walter Zeller, 10
years old, and Clyde Wheeler, his 20
year-old companion, charged with
the murder Of William Reed, the
grandfather Of Ieller, last Friday
night, has caused a sensation In this
section OF the State.
Zeller has confessed to the mur-
der plot, but seeks to lay the actual
commission of the crime upon
Wheeler. Herbert Grigg, another
19-year-old boy, who Is implicated in
the confession. disappeared from his
fathers farm yesterday, and has not
since been seen. Xcller and Wheeler
have admitted that the motive was
robbery.
Reed was more than 70 years old
and quite wealthy. He lived with his
son-in-law, William T.. Cooper.
Icller, in his confession, according
30 the officers, made the first attempt
to rob the aged man on Halloween
while MIR. and Mrs. Cooper were
away from the house. lie says
Wheeler and Grigg were with him at
the time. Before they could get to
the old man, he said, Reed awoke
and they fled, fearing that he would
recognize them.
Last Friday. according to the de-
tectives, Ieller learned that his par
ents were going to the theater, and
he and his two companions again laid
plans to rob the grandfather. The
Step-fathcr had given Walter and his
brother William money to go to the
theater and they went, Walter re
naming only part Of the evening anC
returning before the performance
was over.
Xellcr says he remained away
grom the house while his grand
father was being killed.

Herbert killed grandpop. stayed
four blocks from the house whil,
they did it. Wheeler fired the shot
and fifteen minutes later he came III

The detectives told Zeller tina
Wheeler had confessed that he Gel

Wheeler was arrested at his hOm,

RHEUMATIC FOLKS I!
Are You Sure Yc.r K!aneys

Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
Of the Kidneys is to remove all uric
acid from the blood Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't daily with "uric acid solvents. :"
You might go on until doomsday with
them, but until you cure the kidneys
you will never get well. Doan's Kid
ney Pills not only remove uric acid
but cure the Kidneys and then ali
danger from uric acid Is ended. Here
Is Walhalla testimony to prove it:
Mrs. j. r. Cobb, living on Faculty
Hill, Walhalla, s. c., says: " For
years | suffered from inflammatory
rheumatism. My joints often became
swollen and stiff and at times my
ankles were so swollen that 1t was
only with the greatest difficulty that

months ago l sent to DR.. J. w. Bells

and have been using them since.
Nothing that had previously used
did me any good. Doan's Kidney
Pills, however, eliminated the uric
acid from my system and the kid
neys are acting more regularly.
