At the Uroadway Presbyterian church last evening the services were under the auspices of the Young Peo ple's association. The chuic'u was filled to the. doors and the nit-etiug was interesting and a splendid spirit was and t the whiskey business in his early life in Canada, and to his growing antag onism to it. He encouraged earnest support for the movement to suppress the saloons in this city en the ground that its influence was only evil. Mr. .lackson spoke for about 40 min utes in a forcible and eloquent an swer to some of the objections made tc tin tomp"rai.ce movement. He s.rguod that the saloonkeeper has no ested, inherent right to run a saloon. Such right as he has is only granted to liim by-law, and therefore it is no infringement of personal liberty to withdraw- that grant.. "With saloons MAY LEAD TO CANCER There is no difference, at first, in the appearance of a cancerous and a common ulcer, and for t-his reason every sore that is obstinate or slow in healing should excite suspicion, for the sore is nothing more than the exter nal evidence of a oolluted blood, and if allowed to remain may degenerate into Cancer. Efforts to heal the ulcer by means of salves, plasters and other external remedies always result in failure.because such treatment can have no possible effect on the blood, where the deadly germs and morbid matter form, and are carried throusrh the circulation to the place. No sore or ulcer can exist without a predisposing internal cause, and the open, discharging ulcer or festering old sore will continue to eat deeper into the surrounding flesh as long as a polluted, germ-infected circulation discharges its impur ities into it. S. S. S. goes to the fountain-head of the trouble, and drives - out the germ-producing poisons and morbid impurities which keep the ulcer open. Then as this rich, purified blood . goes to the diseased place the Healing oegins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation grad ually leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh 'ft lTiO Ep, are formed, ana soon tne sore is perma- red. R. S. S. is made entirely of PURELY VEGETABLE roots and herbs of a healing, cleansing nature, and unlike mineral medicines, which often do great damage to the delicate parts of the system, S. S. S. tones up every part of the body. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice desired free. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. Rev. H. W. Reed, pastor of the First Baptist church, last evening spoke be fore a union meeting at Memorial Christian church on "The 'Personal Liberty" Objection to Local Option.' Following is a synopsis of his address We have here a supposedly strong argument against any radical temper ance legislation. To many it seems un answerable. Its advocates represent it as based upon the great American prin ciple of liberty. Thus used, it is re garded as final and decisive In fact, it is not a respectable argu ment at all. It is false in principle and in its every claim. It is only a half-truth, and therefore a whole lie It seems plausible, but does not stand analysis. As briefly defined, it is the right to do as one pleases, as long as he does' not injure others. Most frequently however, the latter part of the deflni tion is disregarded, and it is simply a demand to be allowed to do what one personally wishes. This demand, in either the longer or shorter form, refuses to recognize the authority of the law. "Any law hat interferes with personal wishes is unjust and tyrannical." The personal iveny advocate is a law to himself, and knows no authority except his own will, and the vote of the secret so ciety of which he is a member. In thi sense he is thoroughly an anarchist In Nut lu Hnrmouy. While personal liberty is preached as being in line with the spirit-of ou American institutions, nothing can be more out of harmony with this Ameri can spirit. Our American idea is the authority of the majority of the peo ple. Personal liberty is opposed to this authority, and insists on no inter ference with personal wishes. The ac tion of the leaders of the saloon inter ests during the past week is both proof and illustration of this statement. They are unwilling that the people of this city should vote as to whether they want saloons to continue in bus iness. They are afraid of the result of the vote, and do not desire to have to abide by the result. They want per sonal liberty for themselves, but deny ihat privilege to the voters of the city. The inconsistency of the demands for personal liberty by the saloon in terests is further shown by their threats to the business men, to boy cott all who in any wjjse lend aid or encouragement to the local option movement. Cut the utter lack of foundation for the plea is found in the very definition of the claim itself. The saloon men cannot do as they wish, and "not in jure others." This injury is being felt every day, and by all members of the families of those frequenting the fia Friday evening at 8 o'clock the Christian Woman's Board of Missions will meet in the church.

By -ro-behtxs love. lie was not merely A rr.eri can; he was universal. E MERSOX was pure intellect. Though he lived in America during the nineteenth century for nearly eighty years, he was not materially influenced by the sur rouudings and the events of his time and country. lie dwelt In his own world of mental contemplation. From time to time during his long life he J gave to the world the fruits of those contemplations in lectures, essays and poems. But so far as externals go any of bis essays or poems might have been written in any other age or in any other country. , lie was not mere ly American; he was universal. Perhaps no writer ever lived the sum of whose literary work Is so de void of vulgarity. All of the Emer sonian output is simply thought re fined to the uttermost. There is no humor save in the way of sarcasm, and the sarcasm is lofty aud benevo lent. Emersou was a supreme idealist, lie never climbed toward ideals nor grop ed in the dark after ideals, for he was the exponent of ideals already attain ed. The great commercial world rag ed around him. but -he held aloof, con tent to live simply and frflgally, rich In his own wisdom. The great fesson of Emerson's life and teachings lies in his conception of the inherent nobility of the human soul. He repudiated utterly aad with calm scorn the age worn conception of man as a sinful and filthy maggot crawling about the eanh asking alms of a superior divinity.

There is no longer any doubt as to the merit of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, for during the past 54 years it has been proving its ability to cure ailments of the stomach, liver, kidneys ana bowels with wonderful success. Thousands of people have testified that the Bitiers was the only medi cine that could cure them, although they had tried many others. If you are still experimenting, stop it at once and commence taking the Bit ters. It cures flatulency, heartburn, headache, indigestion, dyspepsia, cos tlveness, grippe, spring fever and malaria.
