Trinity Sunday School.

Those who attended the session or
Trinity Methodist Church Sunday
school last Sunday afternoon had an
unusua. pleasure, that Of hearing a
niece of literature read in five differ
ent languages, Spanish, German
Greek. Hebrew and English. The
lesson for the day was the Twenty
third Psalm, and instead of having
the regular program special SER
vice devoted to the study of this
beautiful Songof David was arranged
and carried out with much success.
The auditorium of the church was
we'll filled by children and older mem
bers of the school, and in addition
there were large number Of visitors.
No lessons were heard, but the record
was made for each class, and then
the school all took part in the Psalm
exercises. The day was prof1tably
spent, and was full of interest to
young and old alike.
The officers of Trinity School are
trying to make the school better and
more interesting than ever, and new
features are being introduced from
time to time, but always the pre-
dominating idea to make the study
of the Bible more interesting and
make the exercises full of praise to
the Great Giver of all good and per-
feet gifts.
The program for last Sunday was
as follows:
Song, No. "A.
Prayer.
Song, No. 275.

AGOOD REASON
Bamberg People Can Tell You Why.
It Is So.


It Is So.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kidney
and urinary complaints. Bamber8
people testify to permanent cures.
N. B. Adams, Main St., Bamberg,
S. c., s.ys: 81 most heartily recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as l used
them and obtained the best OF results.
I sufft red for more than a year from
attacks of backache, the pains being
located in the small of my back. The
secretions were quite unnatural In ap-
pearance and gave me no end OF trou-
Bile on account of their too frequent
action. Having Doan's Kidney Pills
brought to my attention, purchased
q supply at the Peoples drug store
and began using according to dfrec-
tions. They gave prompt relief ana IN
q few weeks the pain in my back was
entirely disposed of and the kidneys
were again performing their Work
properly. I feel sure that Doan'S
kidney Pills will effect a completes
cure in my case."

The following is a draft Of the plat
form to be submitted to the resolution
committee by Wilbur F. Crafts, Of the
International Reform bureau, Wash.
ington. which will in all probability be
adopted:
we appeal to the sovereign people
against the Republican congress that
has year after year refused to with
draw the federal shield of interstate
commerce from 'speakeasies,' and
against the Republican party that al
its recent convention refused to prom
Use this reasonable reform; and against
the Democratic party because it failed
to make any clear declaration at its
national convention on any moral Is
sue. We believe the selection OF ?
successor by the president is a dan
gerous precedent, and that at most h
should have intimated he would op
pose the nomination Of any man liable
to reverse Roosevelt policies, which We
heartily endorse. We believe these poi
icies. which In their attacks on trusts
have not prevented the raising oil
prices. should be supplemented by
such gradual tariff reform as will
make private monopoiies impossible
We favor a constitutional convention
to amend the constitution so as to pro
vide for the election Of senators by
direct vote of the people; for federal
control Of maria &c, including divorce
and polygamy; for national prohibition
Of importation, manufacture OF sale OF
Intoxicating beverages.
Meanwhile we propose as the largest
measure Of prohibition now possible
to dam the liquor traffic at every state
line by f6rbidding all interstate com
