READ YOUR OWN HOME PA PER! BEGIN NOW! To love the unlovely, to sympathize with the contrary-minded, to give to the un charitable, to forgive such as never pity, to be just to men who make iniquity a lair, to repay their ceaseless hate with never-ceasing love, is one of the noblest attain ments of man, and in this he becomes, most like God. Theodore Parker, Congkessman Webb has dis posed of two of the jobs that are at his disposal. Editor F. M. "Williams of Newton has been re commended for the postoffice at Newton and Mr. J. H.

There are three avowed candidates beating the bushes securing signers for their respective petitions and the race promises to be a lively one to the finish.

" - ' Dr. H. N. Abernethy Makes an Earnest Appeal to Citizens oi Catawba Springs to Rally to The Railroad Cause and Make the Vote Unanimous. Last appeal to the voters of Catawba Springs township: The registration books for the railroad bond election in Catawba Springs township closed on Saturday We are very sorry that every legal voter didn't register, but we can't help it; everybody bad fair warn ing. This is a great proposition for our township, and not a voter should have failed to have been prepared to vote for the best en terprise that has ever been before us. The bond issue is sure to carry, and should carry by a unan imous vote, and "ill if every voter will go and vote his sentiments. Voters don't stay at home and content yourself that it is going to carry. Go early on next Tuesday morning, April 15th and cast your ballot and be sure to take your neighbor with i you. We want a glorious victory and we want it early in the day. Don't think you can't spare the time from your crops. You can go and vote and get back to your work in two or three hours and in one week's time you will never miss it. For if we fail to carry this election we have lost something we may never be. able to , make - back. This is the opportune time for us and we should make use of it gladly. . ' . Think of the many days you have pulled your team getting your guano etc., from the depot, and your farm products off to a distant market, and how worried you were. Now if we can succeed in getting this railroad through our township, many of the hard ships we are forced to bear will be much lighter". Citizens! let us make next Tues day, April 15th the brightest day we have ever had in Catawba Springs township. H. N. Abernethy, Chm E. E. Com. COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS. On next Tuesday, April fifteenth the citizens of Catawba Springs will say by their ballot whether or not they want to be prepared to enjoy the benefits of an electric railway at a future date. All information received at this office, with the exception of one case, is to the effect that the issue will carry by a large majority. We trust that it will. If Catawba Springs succeeds in landing this railway her citizens will have cause for rejoicing. On the other hand if the opportunity should present itself and the bond issue fails to carry it will be a lost op portunity that would have meant much to this section of the county.

Standi Before Senate and House at No " Other President Hat Done in 112 Years Stated Simply and Tersely What He Thought Should Be Done For Country Congress Seems Pleased. ;:'' Washington, D. O., April 8. President Wilson today abridged tbe gap that for over a century has separated the pilots of public business the executive and legis lative branches of tbe government Not as a cog in a machine, not as an impersonal , political entity, nor as a mere department of gov ernment but as the human Presi dent, he went to Congress to speak about the tariff. Standing before the Senate and House in joint session as no other President had done for more than a hundred and twelve years, Pres ident Wilson stated simply and tersely what he thought should be done for the welfare of the coun try and asked his legislative col leagues, man to man, to aid in keeping the pledges of their party. W ith a sweep of decision that shattered precedent, the President brushed aside all imaginary boun dariesbetween Congress and the executive office and rescued him self, as he expiessed it, from that "isolated island of jealous author ity" which the presidency had tome to be regarded V , CONGRESS HAD PREPARED. Congress, somewhat startled the other day when it heard that the President had determined to de liver his message by word of mouth, had prepared for a ceremony of unusual importance and such it was, yet when President Wilson arrived in the midst of the great assemblage, riding through throngs of cheering people in the streets, and, later, looking up into gal leries crowded with privileged ticket holders, he seemed, after all, what be said he was, "a human being trying to co-operate . with other human beings in a common service." , ' , When the much heralded inci dent was over, Congress seemed pleased and the President was de lighted. He expressed himself to friends as possessed with the 'dig nity of the occasion and declared that he felt the capitol greatly re lieved to think that, after all, his precedent had been not such a cat aclysmic thing as some older heads had predicted. A 90-POUND TUMOR Removed From Spartanburg Woman A Most Delicate Operation. Spartanburg (S. O.) Journal 28th. In one of the most delicate and successful operations ever per formed in this state, Dr. II. P. Black figuratively removed a wom an patient 50 years old, from one of the largest tumors that has ever been known. The tumor weighed more than the patient after the operation, which was a success from every standpoint. The operation was performed at the Spartanburg hospital and ether was administered by Dr. Heinitsh. Dr. Black then removed the tumor anil it was necessary to remove the patient, so great was the weight of the abnormal growth. The operation was performed on last Monday and today the pa tient is resting well and is rapidly recovering. This is thought to be the largest tumor that has ever come before the attention of the medical pro fession in the south, certainly the largest that has ever been heard of in Spartanburg. A tumor is a neoplasm or a growth produced by the deposi tion of new tissues. Some tumors recur after extirpation, while others do not. The tumor which has been removed by Dr. Black was a semi-solid growth filled partly by a liquid and partly by a solid substance. List Taken Appointed. !
