Work Day for Orphanage.

The annual work day for the Ep-
worth Orphanage will be next Satur-
day. October 4th. Remember the
orphanage is no longer small in
stitution, nor can it be maintained
at small cost. 1t is one institution OF
our Methodist church which is pro-
vided for solely by voluntary contri-
buttons of our people, and upon such
gifts do they depend to clothe, feed,
educate, and train this large family
of 230 orphan children.
Those in sympathy with the work
are urged to give as usual their earn
ings or income on that day to those
unfortunate ones.
All contributions turned over to
Mr.. w. D. Rhoad will be sent to the
orphanage from the Sunday-school;
those given to Rev. w. H. Hodges
will be sent from the church; or
those who so desire may mail their
contributions direct to ". B. Whar-

ALLEGED RACE DISCRIMINATION
Fight to be Made in Court in Behalf
of Negro.

Washington. Sept. 2S.-A bitter
fight against. alleged race discrimina-
tion in various parts of the country
will be made shortly on behalf of ne
groes before the Supreme Court.
The Oklahoma and the Maryland
grandfather" constitutional amend
ments, by which thousands of negroes
have been disfranchised. will be at
tackled as unconstitutional. An effort
will be made to have the Oklahoma
Jim Grow" legislation annulled. An
attempt will be made byTennessee ne
gro organization to be permitted to
use the name knights of Pythias"
for negro lodges.
Frank Quinn and J. ]. Beal, two
election officials, have been convicted
Of conspiring to prevent several ne
groes from voting at the Con-
gressional election Of 1910 in Ok
lahoma. This was done on the basis
that the grandfather clause was
unconstitutional.
The Oklahoma grandfather clause
made it necessary for all persons
whose ancestors were not qualified to.
vote in 1866 in this country to be
able to read and write in order to
vote.
In Maryland damages have been re-
covered against two election officials
who refused to allow negroes to vote.
The officials were enforcing the
grandfather clause
Five negroes seek to enjoin Okla
homa railroads from enforcing the
Jim Grow" law. They lost in the
lower Federal Courts, which went so
far as to hold that railroads need not
furnish sleeping cars for negroes for
such accommodation.
For several years fight has been
waged between white and negro lod-
ges of knights of Pythias in the
South over the use of the name. The
negroes lost their cause in the Courts
of Tennessee.

New Routes Established

The postmaster at Bamberg re-
ceived official notice from the post
office department yesterday that two
additional routes from this office had
been authorized, these being the ones
surveyed and inspected some months
ago.
The service is effective March End.
1914, the delay being necessary on
account of the appropriation for
routes this year being exhausted.
These routes will be known as Nos.
3 and 4. No. will go down the
Charleston and Augusta road by
Midway and through the Briar Creek
section, while No. 4 will go out by
Capt. w. S. Bamberg's and up to-
ward Denmark, then across to the
Charleston and Augusta road and
back by Mr.. ] W. Stewart's and the
short road to Bamberg.
These routes will be a great con-
venience to the people in both Sec
tions, and it seems that the visit of
CONGRESSMAN Byrnes to the depart
ment had mighty quick effect, even
if the service cannot be started until
rext March. It's good thing to
have a congressman who is always
on his Job, looking after the interests
of his constituents.

Orphan Work Day.
Bamberg, S. c

AS Sabbath. the 5th Of October,
has been set apart as the time for
collections for foreign missions and
Sabbath school extension work in the
Presbyterial churches the board of
trustees of the Thornwell Orphanage,
which is the Presbyterian orphanage
of the States of South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Florida, have asked that the
Presbyterian folk observe instead,
Saturday, October 18th, as orphan
work day. The idea is that every
body should give that days income
to the orphans, and to forward the
same promptly to the President, Rev.
W. P. Jacobs, Clinton, S. c. The
Sunday schools will take up collec-
tions on the second Sabbath, unless
already attended to on the first, and
at the same time pastors are urged
to present the needs of the work to
their people and to forward the con-
tributions of their people.
There are now over 800 inmates in
this institution and new buildings
are arranged for still larger increase.
About 200 applications are on file
waiting for admission. The institu-
ton is denominational but does not
refuse children from any locality or
whose parents we're of other or no
denomination.

She Gets $4,000 a Year.

A little negro girl is to pay the
largest income tax in the state OF
Oklahoma. She is Sarah Becker, 10
years old, and she lives near Musko-
gee. Her income now is more than
$4,000 year.
1t is the old story of the lucky al
lottee and the oil we'll. Sarah is the
descendent of Creek freedman. She
had nothing to do with the selection
of her allotment and probably has
never seen it and does not know
where it is. But it is $50 acres of
land and upon it has been drilled the
biggest producing we'll in the mid
continent field near the town of Cush-
ing. The we'll is producing over ST.
500 a day and Sarah gets one-eight
of this as her share.

Moline committee to-day decided to
invite the United Confederate Vet
rams Association to hold it next Re-
union as guests of this community,
made up of Moline, East Moline,

Fire in Branchville.

Branchville, Sept. 25.-Yesterdae
about II O'Clock the residence of j.
E. Byrd on south Main street was
destroyed by fire. 1t originated in
rear room upstairs and was not de-
tected until the smoke broke through
the window upstairs. 1t must have
been burning for some time before
it was seen, as no one was able to get
upstairs.
The residences of x. C. Jones and
G. w. Miley looked for while like
they would go also, but by hard and
consistent work they were saved with
minor damages.
The loss of Mr.. Byrd will amount
to about $4,000 with $500 insur-
ance.

Leading Drug Store Will Give Money
Back Should There Ever Be Case
Where Dodson's Liver Tone Fails.

Dodson's Liver Tone is a mild
vegetable Liver Tonic which oper-
ates so successfully in cases of con-
stipation, torpid liver or biliousness
that it has practically taken the
place of calomel-the drug which
is so often dangerous. Peoples Drug
Co., who sells Dodson's Liver Tone,
recommends it as a reliever of con-
stipation, sour stomach, biliousness
and sluggish liver. 1t works gently,
surely and harmlessly. If bottle
should ever fail to give satisfaction
the Peoples Drug Store will re-
fund the price paid without question.
The price of Dodson's Liver Tone
is SO cts. per bottle. Be sure you
get Dodson's Liver Tone and not
some medicine put up in imitation
that is not backed up by guarantee
and that may contain harmful drugs.

German Students Protest Against
Beer Evening""

Griefwalk, Germany, Sept a.
The expulsion of several students
from Griefwalk University because
of their total abstinence principles
has caused a sensation here. The
students, numbering about 1000,

of the jubilee of Emperor Williams

Several abstainers protested and
were thereupon reprimanded by the

Not High Living but Extravaganza

\Ol Ilieh AiNAhSS ous sAIApAe~'N>S>>-N'
Men talk about the hardships caus-
ed by the advanced price of food.
That is a small matter compared with
extravaganza in seeking pleasure and
recreation. During the present sum-
mer people of this state have spent
twice as much for visits to pleasure
resorts and mountain hotels as the
whole state spends for food.
The owners of automobiles are pay
ing about two and a half million dol
lars year for the repairs and run
ming expenses of automobiles. Nine
tenths of them are used for pleasure
alone. That would buy bread enough
for the whole state.
People grumble about grocers' and
butchers bills at home, but they send
their families off to summer resort
and pay enough to keep them two
months to meet all food bills for a
year.
Let the people place the blame
where it belongs, but do not put it
all on the high price of food.-Spar-

Two or three different lots
of this durra have been obtained
from the region named. One Of
these has been bred by the Uni

grain producing variety and is
by them Sudan durra.
almost identical one
has been selected by the Office
of the forage crop investiga-

the name Of feterita.
This department has decided to
recommend feterita in prefer

black hull kafir where these
can be grown, AS stated, it is
earlier than the common varie-
ties of black-hull kafiir, which
has been grown in Oklahoma
and neighboring states.
The feeding value of feterita
as a grain and forage crop is
equal in every way to kaffir; we
believe it to be much better on
account Of the grain being larg-
er and much softer than kaffir
and can be fed to good advan-
tage without being ground
which is necessary to obtain
fair results with kaffir.
