How Gus Kohn SWiped the Saddle

Although we know that he needs
the rest, we regret to see Col. +. II.
Aull retire from the presidency OF the
State Press Association. He is a live
wire and made a most excellent Off
Ger. Long may he live. But as to
Gus kohn. We became acquainted with
him while soldering at Chicamau9a.
He is big-hearted fellow and will
make Il good head for the pencil push
e.:>. Like most newspaper men, Col.
kohn works everybody for all they
are worth. That is, if he can use 'em.
he does it. When at Chicamauga our
regiment had not been equipped and
as result there We're no saddles eX-
cept those owned by officers. Col.
kohn was the special correspondent
for the News and Courier at the time
and he found it hard matter to get
his special news to the mail station
at Lvt1e. which was about three miles
from vE9re We were camped. How
ever. being a newspaper man, he gem
erallv found a way. He would sWlpe
the private saddle Of Adjutant John
Frost (later Adjutant General OF this
State). We were always glad to make
the special trips if Col. kohn would
secure the saddle. as we had plenty OF
army mules, and they were all as wild
as African zebras, none of them hay
inc had a saddle or bride on them.
About the time we would get away
from camp Capt. Frost would need
his saddle. As he was Regimental
Adiutant it was necessary for him to
saddle ND and ride up and down IN
front Of the Regiment to read orders
to the soNliers. Admitted to have the
best lungs of any officer in camp, Ad-
iutant Frost could be heard for sew
eral miles when Gus Kohn would
swipe his saddle. After giving vent
to his feelings the Adjutaut would be
himself again and although he had
cussed Gus awfully, within few min
utes after the saddle had been return
ed the two would be cracking jokes.
And Gus continued to swipe the sad
die and John continued to cuss, but
-nobody ever did get hurt.-Ander-
son Intelligencer.

DR.. CROMER RAPS CHARLESTON
Says Blind Tigers There Are Made
Members of Grand Jury.-Also
Charges Tax Dodging.

St. George, July 2O.-The Hon.
George B. Cromer. Of Newberry, and
the Rev. Mr.. Donehoc. pastor Of the
Cumberland Methodist church, Of
Charleston. were the speakers at 4
meeting in the interest Of prohibition
held on the II oh School campus to-
day. The affair was called to order
by DR.: J. P. MelIard, president Of the
Dorchester County Anti-Saloon
League, and the speakers were intro
duced by the Rev. J. N. Steadman,
pastor of the local Methodist church.
There were approximately 300 people
in attendance and at the conclusion of
the Speech-making an old fashioned
picnic dinner was enjoyed.
DR.. Cromer, in the course of his
remarks. took occasion to touch upon
the situation in Charleston. He said
that when a blind tiger was caught in
Greenville he was sent to the chain
gang. while in Charleston he was made
a member Of the grand jury. which is
the same statement he is alleged to
have made elsewhere. He was asked
by the representative of the News
and Courier for a synopsis Of his
speech. but it could not be Secured.-
"!Tell my old friend Hemphill, he said
Ethat if some of those millions are
returned for taxation which are now
living in banks the $140.000 revenue
from the dispensary will not be lost. .
DR.. Cromer also spoke Of the sit
uation in Newberry county and said
that drunkenness has decreased there
almost phenomenall!v since the whls-
key was voted out five years ago. tie
said that according to statement
prepared by the chief Of police of
Newberry there we're III arrests made
for drunkenness in that city in three
months while the dispensary was in
operation. as against 81 in the same
length of time since the prohibition
law has been in effect. Both the speak
ers presented logical evidences Of the
bad effect of the dispensary system and
that their remarks had a tendency to
advance the cause of prohibition is
beyond question.
There is a growing sentiment against
the dispensary in this section, and it
is now generally conceded that it will
be voted out in August. Both DR..
Cromer and the Rev Mr.. Donehoe are
forceful and eloquent speakers, and
the statistics Of intemperance given
by them show that they have given
the subject considerable thought.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a. Symptom That Should
Not Be Disregarded.

Appetite is just natural desire tor
food. Loss Of appetite or stomach dis.
tress after eating indicate indigestion
or dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit
very dangerous to a PERSONS good
general health, and Unsuitable appe-
tite is a sure symptom Of diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some Of the strongest, heav-
lest and healthiest persons are mod
crate eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than
disordered stomach, and many people
daily contract serious maladles simply
through disregard or abuse OF the
stomach.
We urge everyone in Newberry
who is suffering from any stomach
arrangement, indigestion or dyspep-
sia. whether acute or chronic, to try
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the
distinct understanding that we Will
refund their money without question
or formality, if after reasonable use
of this medicine, they are not per
fectlv satisfied with the results. We
recommend them to our customers

anyone who has not been benefited
by them. We honestly believe them
to be without equal. They are made
from the prescription of a physician
who devoted all his time to the study
and treatment Of stomach troubles.
They give very prompt relief, neil
tralize the gastric juices, strengthen
the digestive organs, create good dl-
gestion and assimilation, naturally
regulate the bowels. promote perfect
nutrition. and create permanent cure
of all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try a Zoe. box OF
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives

that time, your money will be re-
turned to you if you are not satisfied:
Of course, in chronic cases length OF

PRESIDENTS TRAVELLING EX-
PENSES.
A Criticism by One Observer and An
Answer by Another.
Very Expensive Travelling.

Newberry Observer.
Congress has voted $4,000 for the
travelling expenses of President Taft.
The largeness Of the sum is not due to
the largeness of the man. but to the
dignity of the office. The president
cannot travel in the ordinary coach
with common people, and so must
have special cars Of his own: and
that makes his travelling expensive.
But $4,000 would represent a great
deal of travelling in year even at
very expensive style.

No VESTME:NTS
FOR THIS CHOIR
CENTRAL CHURCH OF CHRIST AT
DIES MONIES sANIsHES CAPS
AND GOWNS.

Des Moines, Dec. 22.-At a star
chamber session of the church board
of the Central Church Of Christ held
a week ago, staid and standpat mem
bers of the board, shocked into vitup-
erative speech by the action of the
music committee, defeated the pro-
gessives of the official board and ban
ished forty neat caps and gowns pur-
chased as choir vestments.. j. w. Hill
as chairman of the music committee
stood personally responsible for the
purchase of these robes and will prob
ably lose the entire amount If the
goods are not accepted by the factory
and the cost money refur,ded.
Secret Goes the Pounds.
Since the choir was organized early
last spring under the direction OF
James F. Roach of the faculty of the
Highland Park college of music, 1t
has been its aim to present the annual
Christmas festival of sacred song in
full church vestments. The chair
man of the music committee was In
sympathy with the choir and the
measurements were taken and the

been one grand surprise for the con-
gregation, but some overly enthusi,
astic member of the choir confided to
friend and that friend to friend, I'M
til some friend of the standpatters on
the official board learned the news and
music war was declared. The vest.
ments came last week all nicely pack
ed in tissue paper, and the choir mem
hers stood on tiptoe in their excite
ment over the innovation.
! An executive session of the official
board was held Monday night Of last
week and the members were silent
when asked afterward what they had
done. The facts have sifted out, little
| by little, however, and If the whole
truth is known it was one of the most
militant meetings ever held in the
church Alarmed by what they consid
cred an invasion of popery into the
democracy of the Disciples Of Christ
the conservatives, represented by
George Jewett, rose in horror and
wrath and pointed accusing fingers al
the progressive leaders who had dared
to introduce such innovations into
the order of worship of the Contra
church.
No vestments Sunday Night.
While the choir members sang theil
Christmas music there was CULVER IL
the high tones not due to artistic mu
steal tremolo, that is so desirable II
lyric voices. Disappointment was writ
ten on the features of every member
of the choir as they sat in the choir
/ loft dressed in conventional street
gowns and suits. Their disappointment
was all the keener for the knowledge
that the choir Of the First Methods
