DR.. Broughton Issues Rejoinder.

Atlanta, Ga., July 27.-Dr. Brought
on tonight gave out the following
statement in regard to the scathlng
denunciation he received at the hands
Of Representative Anderson:
II am glad, at least, if have done
nothing else than force Mr.. Anderson
to acknowledge in the House Of Rep
resentatives, where he is posing as
the champion against legislation tor
the prevention of the near beer evil,
that he is a stockholder in brewery,
one, at least. in Savannah, that IS
manufacturing more near beer than
any other in the State
1T is immaterial, so far as the
point l made against his right to sit
in Judgment upon such legislation,
whether he has recently bought stock
or not. It is fact that he owns the
stock and that lines up with the whls-
key INTERESTS
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-07-30

cal minister named the heF. Len ".
Broughton, is quoted in the press as
having said in a sermon that l was
fighting the near beer bill because [
had bought stock in a Savannah brew
cry after the prohibition bill was
passed. and that 7 was the only man
in the State who had made money out
OF prohibition in Georgia. | desire to
say that this preacher j. a wilful. ma
iciouS. reckless, malignant and VI
cious liar. I fully expected to be as
sailed and villifed rhen obeyd my
constituents will and opposed the
Alexander bill. But I never even
dreamed that a mir ;ster Of the Gospel,
follower Of Him a;;>o preached char
ity and taught truth, would sloop to
become slanderer and common liar.
"In the first place, no Savannah
brewery, nor stock in one has been
sold since prohibition went into effect.
Hence this is another lie Of the rev.
erend hypocrite. About fifteen years
AGO I bought ten shares in Savan-
nah brewery, and paid 800 a share.
I was out Of the State when the pro-
hibition bill passed, and when I re-
turned and tried to sell my stock, J.
could not. It is now worth ABOUT $50
or $50 share, but cannot be sold.
"This Alexander bill is new pro-
hibition bill, and we already have
the strongest prohibition bill ever
drafted. If it be not enforced. tlen
it is because the officers are negligent
and the people do not want it en-
forced. I have never placed as much
as straw in the way Of its enforce
ment. But you know you cannot en-
force an unpopular law
Anderson sat down in breathless
silence, and little Representative J.
A. Slade, slight, dignifed and minis
terial looking arose. Slade is from
Muskogee county, and is a Baptist
minister.the same denomination which
Broughton serves. Every one ex-
pected a bitter retort to Anderson's
outburst. What was the astonlsh-
ment Of all, then, when Slade went
even further than Anderson in de-
nouncine his fellow clergyman.
Il was astounded and insulted,' he
said. "to hear the Islander heaped
upon a worthy member of this Legis-
lature by man who processes to be
minister Of the Gospel. am a Mis-
sionary Baptist preacher. I believe
in and practice temperance, but dc
not believe in prohibition. In the
name Of all good Baptists, however. l
want to reesnt this attack upon Mr..
Anderson by a long-haired, loud
mouthed, itinerant preacher, who has
done more harm to the temperance
cause than all the brewers and dis
tillers in the world. And the really
honest temperance advocates should
realize that unless they curb these
freak extremists,the will see the pen
dulum swing to the other extreme. y
Speaker Holden did not let any one
else get the floor, declining to recog-
nize several excitable members. and
calmly forcing a resumption OF the
consideration of the tax bill.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has Revolutioniz.d the
Treatment OF Skin Diseases.

Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever approached the success of the
marvellous skin remedy known as pos
lam, which, it is safe to say, has cured
more cases of eczema and skin diseases
than any remedy ever offered for these
ills.
The success of poslam is not at all
surprising when it is considered that
even very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately
and cures chronic cases in two weeks
The very worst cases of eczema as
well as acne, herpes, letter, piles, sal.
rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly
scaly scalp and every form of itch,
yield to it readily. Rlemishes such as
pimples, red noses, muddy and infiamed
skin disappear almost Immediately
