Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength; !;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS matter Of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making. food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. 2
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you live in hot eli
mate buy Quaker Oats In hermetically
sealed tins. 1t keeps sweet and fresh.

SOLID IN five YEARS
GOV. ANSEL SAYS The SOUTH IS GO
ING DRY.
In Interview in New York He Predicts
That the Entire South Will Declare for
Prohibition. ed,

New York, Oct. 11.-According to
Governor M. F. Ansel, of South Caro-
lima, the south will stand solidly for
prohibition within the next five years.
He expressed an opinion to that effect
today. The governor is in the city to
attend the annual meeting Of the
George Peabody educational fund.
1T looks to me as if the south would
be solidly prohibition within the
next five years." declared the COVER
nor.
"Prohibition is making tremendous
strides all through the south. In my
own state, the cases where a thirsty
man can get drink are few and far
between" And then he proceeds to
tell how prohibition had gained foot
hold in the state and spread prior to
August last.
Fifteen additional counties went
"dry" at the elections In that month, /"
he continued, land after November l5,
next, it will be possible to get drink
in only six counties of the state, and
then only through the medium of the
county dispensary."
Governor Ansel discussed other
phases of the liquor question and con-
cIude by saying that "there is no doubt
that the prohibition movement has
come to stay, and that it is making
steady progress" Such factor has it
become throughout the south, he stat
ed, that all political parties are forced
to recognize the issue.

ed to meet him. After the two had sa
luted with military punctiliousncss Gen
Ruger said: General, / am informed by
the Republican county chairman that Inc
can't vote all his men at the other pre-
cinct. You must make your men give
way and let these negroes get to the bal
lot box. My orders are to see that there
are no distractions to voting"
The one was dressed in the blue uni.
form of the United States army and had
been sent to Edgefleld by Grant. The
other had on grey coat of the Confederate
brigadier and military boots.
kTHE CRUCIAL TEST OF NERVE.
1t was the crucial test of nerve. South
Cardinals destiny hung in the balance
and Glory saved her. The BALD Eagle"
Strengthened up his eyes, cleaning and
clear and shrill, for his voice always rang
like silver bell he exclaimed: "By God,
sir, I'll not do it. l will keep the compact
l made with you this morning, that whites
and negroes should vote at separate box
es. and if you think your blue coat can
make way for these negroes to vote again,
try it"
There had been the stiffness of death
while these two confronted each other, but
when that voice rang out the whites
caught up the yell Of defiance and for sew
eral minutes pandemonium reigned:
Ruger quietly turned on his heels and
went back to his quarters. The negroes
skunk away like 'dissolving mist and in
less time than have taken to tell it not
one of them was to be seen.
CONCERNING HAMBURG.
Allusion has been made to Buffers ser
vice at Hamburg and l know that those
services were great. But the people were
ready to act without his leadership. You
all remember the despicable and cowardly
stab he aimed at me last summer with
reference to the riot. For all his services
to the State he has been amply rewarded
and had he possessed seintilla of genuine
patriotism he would have died before he
entered upon the role which he played
since August, 1894.
We are asked to name country after
this traitor. Will you disgrace yourselves
by giving his name to the county?
But the clouds will roll by we are told,
and when reason shall regain her sway
the prejudice, as my colleague terms it,
against this man will pass away.
