Orphanage Work Day.

Attention once more is called to
the Orphanage Work Day that has
been announced for September 80
next. Appeals have gone out from
The various institutions to Sunday
school superintendent and all others
who are likely to be interested in the
project. Emphasis might be given to
the fact that Sunday school and
church people are not the only ones
who could take part in such a deserv-
ing work. The destitute and helpless
orphan should appeal to every indi-
Tidual within our State. Contribu-
ions may be sent to any institution
that one may prefer. 1t certainly
ooks as if any person might afford to
%ivc one day out of the year as Labor
DAY for the orphan children and con-
tribute the results of the day, or the
income Of the day, to their care and
training. 1t is to be hoped that thou
sands and thousands of our people
will cooperate in the Work Day effort.

leader Of the Prohibitionists in their

to The News and Courier:

1T necessary to say much about the
proposed effort beyond declaration
that the Prohibitionists OF the State
will not sanction the sale of LIQUORS
anywhere in the State, and are pre-
pared to maintain their position.
wish to make the point that prohibi-
ton in this State has entrenched itself
by its beneficent operation. South
Cardinals movement has been notably
free from emotional exuberance, but
'i-SiS III iio "dHl oI HigH purpose ana
wholesome sentiment among it's ad-
herents, and the proponents of high
License amendment will invite another
Statewide campaign. Formerly the
campaign was for prohibition; in the
event of an amendment being pro-
posed the campaign would concen-
trate the effort against Charleston.
Charleston men had better think this
out in it's relation to some of the
city's legitimate needs.

Hardly has the rejoicing over the
news from Maine died out when we
got word from South Carolina that
the impossible Cole l.. Biease has been
defeated for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor Of the State. Re-
publicans may not be supposed to
have much interest in a common
wealth which is bound to go Demo-
cratic. but good citizens, whatever
their political affiliations, must rejoice
over the defeat of a man who makes
laughing stock out of great COM
monwealth. In the first primaries
Blease had plurality over Manning
his chief opponent. but he failed to
obtain the majority required by the
South Caro::... primary election laws,
and il was necessary to have the run

ming victor with a substantial ma
jOrity of several thousand votes.
1t is to be presumed that the peo-
pie OF South Carolina are capable OF
selecting the officials who shall run
their State government, but 1t has
been a constant source Of wonder to
the residents of other sections whv
the Palmetto State should have
marked man like Blease for its IA
vors. He certainly was lacking i'm the
qualifications of an executive, and his
raving on all sorts of subjects have
made him a sort of national nuisance.

Like Boy at so Bubbling Over
With Vitality---Taking Iron Did /
Doctor Nuxated Iron greatest of all strength buerOen
increases the strength and endurance of delicate
folks 200 per in weeks time.

NEW YORK, n. Y.-Not long ago a man
came to me who was nearly half a century
old and asked me TO give him a preliminary
examination for life insurance. l aston
ished to find him with the. blood pressure Of
a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vi
tally as a young man; in fact a young man
he really was Notwithstanding his age. Tn"
secret he said was taking irOn-nuxated iron
had filled him with renewed life. At 80 he
was In bad health; at 46 careworn and nearly
all in. Now at so a miracle Of vitality and
his face beamed with the buoyancy OF youth.
As l have said a hundred times over, iron is
the greatest of all strength builders If people
would only throw away patent medicines and
nauseous connections and take simple nuxated
iron, ! am convinced that the lives of thousands
of persons might be saved, who now die every
year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kid
ney, liver and heart trouble, etc. The real ami
true cause which started their diseases was
nothing more less than a weakened eondi-
ton brought on by lack Of iron in the blood.
Iron Is absolutely necessary to enable your
blood to change food into living tissue. Without
it, no matter how much what you eat, your
blood merely passes through you without doing
you any good. You don't get the strength OUT
Of it, and as a consequence you become weak,
pale and sickly looking just like plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are
not strong or we'll you owe ii to yourself to
make the following test: See how long you can
work or how far you can walk without becom-
ing tired. Next take two five-grsia tablets OF
