HOME MISSIONS.
MANNING AUXILIARY

The work of the Woman's Home Mis-
sion society is not limited simply to the
training of the children of the church
to succeed its adult membership: but by
the help of our own children we are
seeking to save those children who are
by their sad environment of all the ad-
vantages ours possess
In all OF Our schools for foreigners and
in the mountains that are primary
grades for the little children. and
wherever possible there are kindergar-
tens, and every effort is made to win for
Christ these objects of his love before
their little feet stray into paths OF sin.
In all OF our city missions especial en-
phaSis is placed upon preventive work
among children. We have in our Wes-
ley Houses, located at different points,
six day nurseries where last year lSo
children were cared for, seven kinder
gartens with 412 children enrolled, and
2S Industrial schools with 1,532 on their
rolls. There are also boys and girls
clubs numbering 27, with a membership

structed and aided in the care of them.
Play as well as reading rooms are TO
be founds in some OF our Wesley Hous-
es, and, when possible, there are play
grounds. and many innocent entertain
ments are given them on various festi-
val occasions. They learn to love our
| devoted deaconuesses and m missionaries,
and see in them an impersanation OF
of Christ's love.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for Man
ing People to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache, head
ache, nervousness, lameness. soreness.
lumago. urinary troubles. dropsy, dia-
betes and Bright's disease follow in
'nerciless succession. Don't neglect your
.idneYs. Cure the kidneys with the
certain and safe remedy, Deans Kidney
Pills. which has cured people right here
in this locality.
Silas Bounds, Is w. Pine ST., Flor
eace, S. c.. says: ''Doan's Kidney Pills
gave me great relief and | do not hesi-
tate to give them my endorsement. The
kidney secretions were highly colored,
often deposited dark sediment and
were TOO frequent and painful in pass
age Ny back ached nearly all the time
and had sharp, shooting twinges
through my hips. I finally read about
Doan:s Kidney Pills and began taking
them according to dlrecsions They
lived up to representations, soon stop
ping the backaches and pains and re-
storing my kidneys to their normal con-
dition. I am more than pleased with
the results I obtained from Doan's Kid
ney Pills. .

er present conditions whereby
men addicted to the use of stlmu-
lents are forced to scheme sue
cessful plans to violate the inten-
tion OF law is altogether wise?
Then too, if q quarters worth OF
jamaica ginger will buy as big a
drunk, and possibly domore harm
than a half dollars worth Of whis-
key, is it good craftsmanship,
either in law or morals, to make
the law so drastic; that even the
possession Of alcoholic beverages
for individual use, whether for
medicine or pleasure: is a viola
ton Of law.
The more We study the provis-
ions of the Act recently adopted,
the more convinced are we that
it was a mistake to make it so for
reaching, it would have been far
better and more effective, had It's
provisions been confined to the
sale, but when it seeks to outlaw
home made vine. or the having
in possession of a little stlmu-
lants, the people will regard it
tyranical and it will be exceed
ingly hard to secure convictions.
There is such a thing Of overdo-
ing things, and the present law
is in our opinion over done.

LET HIM ALONE.

The tour Of Booker T. Wash
ington and party through the
South, is being protested against
by some, and for the life of US
we cannot see any just ground
for complaint. Washington's
speeches to his race are teeming
with good advice. If there were
more Washlngtors to go over the
country to teach the negro race
their proper duty as citizens,
there would be less crime. and a
more friendly attitude towards
the white man. One of the
grounds for protestagainst Wash
ington's visit to this State, is that
he practices social equality when
in the North, rides in Pullman
cars, sends his children to white
colleges, is entertained by white
people at the North. We have
absolutely nothing to do with
that. Besides some people see tit
to accept him as a social equal:
the honor is all theirs, for we
have no doubt that Washington
is honoring such when he con-
descends TO step upon the same
social plane with them, but do not
let US put obstacles in the way
OF one doing good. We are fully
able to take care Of our social af
fairs and there is no danger Of a
man like Washing attempting to
break down the social barrier.

The tendency of legislature TO
enact laws calculated to interfere
with the business management Of
railroads. has scommenced toalarm
the various commercial bodies
throughout the United States,
and they are sending out resolu-
tions protesting. South Carolina
has been conservative along this
line. although attempts have been
made to enact radical legislation.
but upon sober thought: it has
resulted in letting the railroads
alone. This conservatism must
not be construed as in any way,
more friendly to railroads than
to otner activities, but rather a
desire to prevent permitting pol
itics to run amuck into business
industries, where it can but have
the same effect as a mad bull IN
a china shop
Let men who are jabblng at the
railroads for political purposes
have their way, and they would
bankrupt every railroad in the
country, which would bring dis
aster. not only to the railroads,
but every industry in the coun-
try.
The railroads need a tight rein
held upon them, or they too.
would 60 to extremes, and the
public would become their VIC
tins, but when our legislatures
adopt a middleof- the-road course
by being fair to the public and
the railroads both, it is the safer
plan.

NOT EVEN A LITTLE FOR The
STCNACE'S SAKE.

If the present liquor regulation
law is strictly construed. i is a
violation of law ',to have in po-
session any spirituous, malt,
vinous, fermented, brewed or 9th
er liquors and beverages, or any
compound or mixture thereof
which contains alcohol and is US
ed as q beverage. and which if
drank to excess will produce in
toxication. This does not apply
to a druggist who takes out the
license provided for in the act.
But those who are in the habit to
keep little in the cup board had
better have care lest they get
yanked up. The law is very far
reaching, why, under its provis-
ions we doubt if a merchant has
the right to sell Jamaica Ginger.
it is a compound containing alco-
hol. and is a standard medicine
for stomach cramps and other
troubles yet, if drunk. to excess
will produce intoxication. It IS a
fact. Jamaica ginger is a drunk
ards refuge, when the real thing
is made inconvenient to reach.
Ithas been our observation that
recently there has been a number
of drunks produced from several
decoctions bought in the drug
stores, jamaica ginger being only
one Of them, and if there is any
thing a man with craving thirst
will discover, it is a way to sail
around iron clad liquor laws.

TAFT'S FIRST MESSAGE.

President Taftsent to Congress
yesterday, one of the shortest
messages on record. The subject
being a revision Of the tariff.
Congress however. will take sew
eral months to unload Itself of
the speeches it has had slowed
away for this occasion.
''To the Senate and House OF Represen-
tatives:
Il have convened congress in extra
session in order to enable it to give i'm
mediate consideration TO the revision OF
the Dinglev tariff act. Conditions affect
ing production, manufacture and busi-
ness generally. have so changed in the
last Twelve years as TO require a read
iustment and revision on import duties

of government revenue, does not furnish
income enough 10 pay the authorized
expenditures. But July lst, next, the

the current fiscal year will equal $780,

tariff. The country, and the business
: community especially, except 1t. Pros
pect of change in rates OF import duties
always causes some suspension or halt
in business. because of the uncertainty
as to the changes to be made and their
effect. It is therefore OF the highest i'm
portance that a new bill should be
agreed upon and passed with as much
speed as possi5l consistent with its due
and thorough consideration. For these
reasons, have deemed the present to
be an extraordinary occasion. within the
meaning OF the constitution and requir-
ing the calling of an extra session.
In my inaugural address, stated in
a summary way, the principles upon
which, in my Judgment, the revision OF
the tariff should proceed and indicated
at least one new source Of revenue that
might be properly resorted TO in order
| to avoid future deficit. 1t is not neces-
sarv for me TO repeat what then said
II venture 10 suggest that vital bust
ness interests OF the country require
! that attention OF congress in this session
be chiefly devoted 10 the consideration
OF the new tariff bill and that if less
time be given TO other subjects OF legls-
lation in this session, IL will be better
for the country.

IT Is "uNCLE JOE. !"

After all of the noise through
out the country. "Uncle Joe"
Cannon, was reelected speaker
of the House OF Representatives
yesterday. The press dispatches
indicate a stormy session, but
what did it amount to? The only
thing so far shown, is that Champ
Clark, the Democratic leader, has
demonstrated his utter unftness
for leadership, and from now on
we expect to see the Republicans
make monkeys Of "the gentleman
from Missouri The idea Of a
leader getting so excited that be
turns upon one Of his own follow
ers with the undignifed retort:
:'and I don't want any slack jaw
about it, either
4 man with such temperament
is unfit to lead party of school
boys in a game of bull pen. The
whole upshot of the business is:
the Democrats under the leader
ship Of Champ Clark are only
putting themselvesin antagonlsm
to the majority, from which the
country can not be benefited, so
far as the Democratic party is
concerned.
Speaker Cannon is a fighter,
and a hard man to down, and II
as is reported he proposes to con
fer with the members of the
House about committee assign
ments, it simply means that Min
ority Leader Clark is to beignor-
| ed. It is evident the Democrats
will stand by their leader, they
adopted Z. resolution to the effect
:sthat no Democrat should accept
appointment on committee with,
out the approval of Mr.. Clark,
This begins to look as if leader
Clark proposes to force recogni-
ton or leave his party without
assignments.

Obstruction Of Orchard Rubbish.

Just at this season Of the year:
those orchardists who have not
already done so. should make a
careful inspection of the premis-
es, removing and burning all dead
and dying wood. tits in just such
places that many of our most in
furious orchard pests pass the
winter. And besides, such rub
bish serves as an ideal breeding
ground for many Of these insects.
It will only be a few 'ays now
before most of these insects will
have left their places of protec-
ton to begin their work of de-
struction upon the budding or
chards, then it will be too late
for action. 1t is extremely i'm
portant that some action in the
matter be taken Immediately.
There are many orchards in the
state infested with San Jose
Scale that have been pruned and
the badly infested material left
lying in the orchard. This mis-
take should be corrected, because
such infested material is men
ace to the rest of the orchard and
to the whole community in which
it IS found, being constant
source of infection. Then there
are those trees that are heavily
infested with the Shot-Ho!e Bor.
er, recognized by the small round
holes in the bark. resembling
those made by number S shot and
usually a general unhealthy con-
dition of the tree. This insect
passes the winter as small white
grub in it's burrow in the dead
tree, emerging IN spring as a
small brownish beetle. Trees a"e
often completely girdled by this
insect, causing them to die in the
course Of a few weeks. Besides
the two just mentioned, there are
numerous other insects that In
habit dead wood and rubbish ly'
ing around the orchard. No one
will attempt to deny the fact that
by destroying all prunings, deao
branches and trees, and other
rubbish about the orchard the
coming generation of insect pests
will be considerably decreased
rendering control more practica.
and certain.
tits therefore to the advantage
of every individual owning an or
chard, whether it be one of com
merciai Importance or merely one
for home consumption, to pu1
forth every effort to get the or
chard as free as possible from
any dead or dying wood before
the pests emerge from their win
ter quarters.
Don't put this matter off TIL
tomorrow or some time next week
nor pile the prunings just outside
the orchard, but destroy then
completely by burning and dt
this Immediately.

1t IS thought by some, the ap.
pointment of William Leob to
the collectorship in New York,
means the building up Of ma
chine to make Ex-President
Roosevelt, Senator to succeed
Chauncey DePew. A debate be-
tween Roosevelt and Tillman IN
the Senate would certainly be
worth a trip to Washington to
hear. Should Roosevelt go to
the Senate there is not the
slightest doubt that he and Till
man will have a bout. They both
have the same affection for each
other, as the devil has for holy

SMITH WILL TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF,

There seems to be some anxiety
in certain quarters that Senators
Tillman and Smith will not pull
together, because Smith is Liable
to start of on independent
lines. whether it suits Tillman
or not, and when he does. it is
thought that Tillman will balk
and kick, and raise so much
sand that it will effect the popu-
larity and usefulness Of Smith.
Once upon time Tillman had
the power to make or unmake
any public man, but that time IS
no more, he may be able
to hold his own with the
masses. but when he under
takes to do more he fails. Sen
ator Smith should and will join
Senator Tillman in all mat.
tiers involving the good Of
South Carolina, but when 1t
comes to matters Of general
policy, Smith is as good a Judge
as ?'illman, and there is no need
for him to secure Tillman's per-
mission as to how heshould vote
o. act. We would be greatly
disappointed in Senator Smith
if he permitted himself to be-
come a me too" in order to bask
in the sunshine of Tillman's ap.
proval. He must be d force or
a nonenity, if he does not stand
up Independently, but halts ana
falters lest Tillnan may become
displeased, he will play himself
out: the people do not want a
sycophant to represent them
in Congress.
Regardless of party We want
to see Senator Smith get IN touch
with those great influences that
make for doing something. 1t is
utter folly to "cuss them damn
Yankees" and cause his con-
stituency to lose caste with the
powers that be. There is nc
need for anything of the sort,
and when it is done, it is for the
purpose of pandering to ignor-
ance. such tactics have had their
dav, and the masses are no
longer fooled by them. Results
is what all are looking for, and
if, withouta sacrifice Of principle:
Senator Smith can win the favor
of the administration so that he
NAV bring things home, the peo-
pie will stand by him whether
the politicians do or not. In
the last primary. the tactics OF
former day politicians, were re-
pudiated by the masses; all at,
tempts to prejudice the voters by
distorting the meaning Of Demo,
cracy, and all efforts to m'sleaa
by those claiming a monopoly OF
party loyalty was proven futile;
in fact. the very ones assuming
the role Of party holiness were
knocked out of the box in the
irstround, leaving staudlug.alone
the chief self-assuming Demo,
crat, ana Smith made a pitlfu3
spectacle of him in the sec
ond round, thus going to sho"
that tie masses are no longer to
be fooled by politicians, and that
they want their representative
to use his own judgment, and be
responsible to them for his acts
We have every confidence IN oul
junior Senator being able to re
fleet credit upon those who
ignored the dictat!on of pro,
fessional politicians, and we iock
forward to the time when under
Smiths leadership South Caro-
lima and the South, will be ac
knowledged a part and par
eel Of this great government
not through any sacrifice o.
principle: but by the meri
torious conduct Of those rep
resenting the South, who, with
a clean, broad and intelli
gent craftsmanship, will force
