Thousands of American women
In our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the homo neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.
It is to these faithful women that

The saloons have been closed in
Springfield, ILL.,, since the race
riot began, and the mayor of the
city says he does rot know when
he will allow them 10 open. Why
were they closed? Because the
sale of whiskey would increase the
acts of violence and render it
more difficult for the authorities
to control the situation. If a
thorough investigation were made
the fact would no doubt be reveal
ed that whisky was the real
cause of the trouble. It is gener-
ally conceded that whiskey caus-
ed the Atlanta riot.

While the chain gang system Of
working the public roads has bee d
very costly to the county, posi-
bly, more expensive than necessa-
ry, yet there is no denying the
fact that the roads wherever thor
oughly worked in the past have
been wonderfully and permanent
ly improved under this system.
The writer drove from Edgefeld
to Red Oak Grove church OH Sun
day last, a distance of about
eighteen miles, and if all of the
bad places in the road were
placed side by side the entire
length would scarcely be hun
dred yards. We have learned from
others that what is true of the
stretch of road above referred to is
also true of many of the other
leading roads in the county.
Therefore, the expense CT keeping
the highways of the county in
fairly good condition should be
less in the. future than it has been
during the years that are past.

and II tlrely new
building lth one ac-
cord, after matter due
consideration, members Of the
Grove" church, as it lis common
ly called, decided upon the latter
course.
On February Oath, 1907, the
first step toward the erection of
Lew house of worship negan by
the appointment of a building
committee, which consisted of
dozen or mere active members OF
the church. Soon afterwards, The
old church, one Of the Oldest laud-
marks in the county that con-
uected the long ago with the pres
ent, was torn down and work OF
the new building was Begun and
pressed to completion as rapidly
as clrcum stances would warrant
In passing along the public
road, instead of the old church
down near the cemetery, one now
sees new and modern structure
op the eminence near the road.
The location and the design OF
the building are in many respects
ideal. The structure is of wood,
and it's exterior and the interior
arrangement resemble very much
the Edgefield Baptist church. The
seats are circular in their arrange
ment and are elevated as they re-
cede from the pulpit. The Bap-
tistry is in the rear of the ros-
trum, and two small dressing
rooms, @e on each side, have
been built. The exterior OF ths
bgIdng has so beer estIga painted EsI white
all of the painting will be COM
pleted, including the staining Of
the floor and pews. There are four
large, beautiful stained glass win
dows in the main room or audito.
rum, one on each side. These
windows were designed and made
by Mr.. Giles D. Minis, and were
donated to the church by him.
Sunday August 23rd, was the
day set apart for the dedica-
tion of the new church. A very
large crowd, many travelling from
great distances, gathered early,
and song and prayer service was
held before the hour for the SER
mon arrived. DR.. W. r. Derrieux
was invited soma time ago to
preach the dedicatory sermon,
but sickness prevented bis being
present and Rev. l. B. White,
pastor of tho Baptist churches of
Modoc, Parksville and Plum
Branch, preached the sermon from
theSth verse of the 26th Psalm:
Lord / have loved the habitation
Of thy house and the place where
thine honor dwelleth." Although
be had had but one days notice
hat he was expected to preach
.he dedicatory sermon, and in
spite of the further handicap that
ne has been in protracted meet
ngs for three weeks, Rev. Mr.. |
White preached very strong and
exceedingly appropriate sermon,
,ne that ELECTED favorable CON-.
nent on every hand. Immediate
Y after the sermon the dedicatory
prayer was offere'i by Rev. Ar
hur l.. Vaughn, of Piedmont, s.
).
At the conclusion of the song
ervice of the morning, Rev. Geo.

hurch made a brief statement
oncerning the building of the
le6 church. The work was in
harge of a special committee
omposed of Messrs. T NJ Dorm, p

There are number of features
that could easily be obtained now,
so if the Club takes hold immedi

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY

No crook can long succeed in
business or politics nor can he be
successful in anything else for any
length of time. OF a l crooks the
political crook is the worst crook,
but any kind of crook is bad
enough. Honesty is always the best
policy. 1t is a business asset that
is invaluable. 1t is more potent
than gold and the best certificate
of character than anyone can pos
sibly have. Look about you and see
the evidence of this for yourself.

LIBRARY FUND SECURED

Here is another illustration of
the royal way in which Holly does
things. A few months ago attention
was called to the need Of a public
library in the town After some dis
cussion of ways and means it was
decided to call for voluntary sub
scriptions with a view to raising
five hundred dollars, or more, to be
used in making additions to the
Public School Library. The list of
subscribers published each week
in the Chieftain shows how liber-
ally the people have responded. The
$500 mark has now been reached
and passed. A committee will be
appointed from among those who
have subscribed to the fund to see
that the money is properly spent.
1t is expected that a fine collection
of books will soon be added to
Holly's excellent school library as
o result Of these gifts.

Walking from Coast to Coast

Weary and footsore, Frank Nc
Allister, twenty years old, and
handsome. member of the Wander
ers, Athletic association of Brook
lyn, N. Y, and professional long
distance walker, landed in Holly
about Z o'clock last Friday night
from the east. He spent the day
recuperating from the effects Of the
walk from Garden City here. Last
evening McAllister took up his
journey to the glorious golden west
after registering a few names in
his travel book to show that he had
visited Holly.
McAllister is now making a walk
from New York to San Francisco
on wager that he will finish the
trip in sixty days He has encount-
cred several bad days on the way
however and he now comedies that
he has lost the wager. Forty-nine
days have been consumed in max
ing the trip from New York to
Holly and there are several days
journeys between here and the
peaceful Pacific. The young walk
er will continue his walk, however,
and when his time is expired will
make the trip more slowly and do
more writing than he is able to do
now while he is walking against
time.
McAllister stops at each town
through which he passes and gets
the signatures of IL few people to
show that he has been in the town
and the conditions of his wager
make it we'll nigh impossible for
him to steal rides on passing freight.
This is not his first long distance
walking adventure as last year he
completed a trip by tie-pass rom
New York to New Orleans in forty
days, averaging about forty-three
miles day. The bad weather cut
down his average on this trip to
thirty-eight miles day.

A. B. Hulit, head of the Arkan-

an hour at the Commercial club.

the Holly State bank presided.
After an extended prologue Mr..
Hulit told Of the immense project
on hand, outlining the financial
part in a lucid manner, and giving
the modus operandi in nutshell.
His strong feature is, there will
be no expense for fuel at Canyon
City, the main powerhouse, as the
screenings from the coal mines
adjacent will keep the machinery
in motion.
A general meeting is to be held
at La Junta, Colo, May l4th, 1903,
at which delegates from all the
districts interested will proceed
with the creation of a legal stock
company, capital $3,5oo,ooo.
