WOMEN'S WOES.
AbbeviIIe Women are Finding
Relief at Last.

1t does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that affiict humanity: they must
keep up" must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many sches from kidney ills.
Kidneys cause more suffering than
any other organ of the body. Keep
the kidneys well and health is easily
maintained. Read of a remedy for
kidneys only that helps and cures the
kidneys and is endorsed by people in
this locality.
Mrs. v. Griffin, 225 swygart ST.,
Greenwood, s. G., says: II had symp-
toms of kidney trouble for years. The
complaint would generally start with
q dull. pain in the small of my back,
soon followed by a languid feeling and
1 was tired and worn out nearly all
the time. I was told that Doan's Kid
ney Pills were a good remedy for such
troubles and l procured a box. I am
now a great deal better and have no
hesitation in saying that ]. consider
Doan's Kidney Pills to be an excellent
remedy for kidney complaint"

Representative F. B. Hammond. Of Utah,
father OF twelve children has introduced q
bill entitled an "Aot to encourage the pre-
vention OF race suicide within the State OF
Utah. This bill provides that the State pay
$50 cash TO mothers OF every baby, AFTER the
eleventh.. Ofall The fool bills that are intro
duced In the different %senates, this Is the
limit.
With President Roosevelts medals given
for the greatest NUN Der Of children In the
shortest length OF time and Representative
HamIuonds $50 cash for every child after the
eleventh., we do not think there need be any
fear OF race suicide as this Ia Indeed too great
an inducement to have large families"
Abbeville Medium.
While I do not quote from the Minutes of
Synod, yeti 1t not a fact that the Board Of
Foreign Missions pay the Associate Reformed
Missionaries q premium OF SIS q year for
twelve or sixteen years for each baby that
may come into their families?
Isn't this act of the Associate Reformed
Board enough to make the Mormon Senator
ashamed OF his little $50 proposition2 SIS
a year for sixteen years makes $1,000 that
Associate Reformed Presbyterians are taxed
for each and every baby that is born to our
Missionaries, while the Mormon Senator
proposes but q poor little sl5o.

The Prohibition Bill.

The Prohibition Bill that passed the State
Legislature. in its closing hours, seems TO
have been 8 compromise. The bill will be
printed elsewhere IN the paper and hence no
comment Is made on its terms or provisions.
It ia q we'll known fact hat II these provis
ions and prohibitions have not the moral
support Of the people Of the State, they will
remain q dead letter on the Statute books.
The essential point OF the bill is provision
making dry all the counties OF the State. By
closing the dispensaries on the first Tuesday
in August, 1908, with q provision that on the
third Tuesday in August there shall be
an election TO determine whether or not the
dispensaIies shall be reopened. II the ma
iority OF the voters Of q county in which a
dispensary Ia now located shall then vote to
reopen the dispensary, 1t shall be reopened
and operated under the .Dlspensary Law as
heretofore.
II seems that there should be no kick at
this arrangement. 1t is certainly preferable
to having the policy Of this county dictated
nv other counties which have bad more
trouble In the management of their liquor
affairs. II the people OF the county will in
form themselves Of the abuses OF prohibition
elsewhere, and in the light Of this informa-
ton. will turn the business with It's profits
over to nonresident dealers. there can be NJ
objection. The good Democratic rule Is that
each county should have what 1t wants.
While no effort will be made to give gener-
al Information on this point, a single case
from the records In Atlanta may point a
moral.
1so5-Cases for drunkenness in January and
bookcases for drunkenness in January and
February, 1872.
lW7-Cases Tor drunkenness in J~anuaey and
February, S7.
February, 1856.
IgS~Cases for drunkenness in January and
February, d7.
ndrunkenness is climbing up to It's former
proportion, it Is presumed that the amount
consumed Is going apace. Atlanta has all the
expense OF suppressing drinking and attend
AMI crime and no revenue with which TO do
IL.

Preachers Have a Perfect Right to Go in
10 Politics.

The News and Courier seems 10 question
the right OF ministers of the gospel to go into
politics. THE Press n Banner believes
ministers have a perfect eight not only to
do 10, but TO do anything any other Citizen
may do. When moral questions are involved
the ordinary layman may not be equal to the
OCCASION. There is no sort OF
doubt in our mind as to the eligibility Of
preachers 10 the ranks of the politicians. A
preacher has as much right to jump into a
c~esspool as anybody else. The only question
with Us Is should the preschersbe allowed TO
20 back into the gospel ship7 We think, un-
der certain conditions that after lbe-
ing washed, fum!gated. and disinfected be
nigh be taken back on probation II he make
suficlent professions of repentance.
The preacher certainly has as much right to
20 into politics as anybody else, and when
be does 30 he should have as much right to go
into the pulpit as has other politician.
1t Is strange to US that SO able q newspaper as
the News and Courier does not recognize the
rights of preachers to 20 into politics, and
that 1t does not recognize the fact that poll
tlcians are not eligible TO the pulpit. Our
good brother surely does not 60 TO Sunday

Contrary to Public Policy.

The will of a DR.. Ouch worth Of Anderson
recently deceased, has.been proved before the
probate Judge OF Anderson. \ The will pro-
vides generously for the widow during her
wldowhood, but stipulates that II she re-
enters wedlock, that she Is to be no longer a
beneficiary of his estate. The editor OF the
Press and Banner puts all deceased husbands
ON notice that such Wills as place a bar to
he re. marriage Of their widows are not only
offensive to the higher and the better sense
OF sentiment of the proper thinking people.
but that 1t Is contrary to public policy and
unlawful.
For thlsb better reason, II we are ever on q
jury where such q will is contested we shall
stay In the Jury room to the limit Of time or
else break the unnatural and unjust bar to
matrimony. No man has a right TO say that
any woman shall be debarred from marriage
and NO will that attempts 1t will stand if this
editor Is on the jury.

1Oldl.s... :"
Although the Episcopal church was no
open on Sunday 2lst, 1t will be seen that the
number in attendance on divine service Wal
less last upday when all the churches were
open. The decline OF fourteen is notac
counted for.
One word Of encouragement for this people
may be found in DR.. Neel E. Pressly's letter
from Mexico TO the A. r. P. Synod. In tina,
letter he said that mot over two per centum
of the Catholics Of that country attended ser
vice" in their Cathedrals.
Ifthis city has $500 white people, 1t will be
seen that a much larger per cent OF the Pro-
testants OF this Town attend than that of the
Catholics in Tampico.
The pastor of the Presbyterian church re-
ferred last Sunday morning TO the attend
ance upon public worship. He enquired II il
was the fault of the ministers, or If 1t was In
the lack OF interest by the people In religious
affairs. The good pastor OF the Presbyterian
church hoped for better things.
Another matter, which may reflect intan-
gible facts ls 10 be seen In the attendance up.
on the theatrical performances in the opera
house. The grand opening by the Clansman
brought together about one thousand who
paid from rs cents to sl.5O in the auditorium
and galleries, while number of box tickets
were sold at $500 each. From the books o.
the theatre, we find the following number Of
paid admissions, to each OF which number
the lessee informe ed US that from rs TO IS free
admissions may be added, but upon refec.
ton be taid that 1t would be better to esti-
mate the free admissions at an average Of q

These are facts which each reader may con-
slider and digest 10 his own satisfaction and
construction.
Empty pews may be found In eoch OF our
churches every Sunday morning, TO which
all men n all women are cordially well
coined. No paid admissions are necessary OF
any church-all pc VS. are free. Has it come
to his that our people are tired Of hearing
the old, old story, which may or may not be
told in an entertaining amer. Or, does 4,
appear that the people prefer amusement?
