The annual meeting: of Midway
Church, one of the oldest and most his
toric edifices in Liberty county and in
the state, was held yesterday and, as
is usual, was attended by many peo
ple from within a radius of twenty
five miles. The annual address was
delivered by Rev. Dr. J. Y. Fair, pas
tor of the Independent Presbyterian
Church. Among other Savannahians
present were Capt. and Mrs. A. Gor
don Cassels and Mr. Randolph Axson.
Though the history of the old church
is pretty generally known a brief re
sume of it will not be without interest.
The church. Congregational, was built
in 1762 by settlers, whom tradition says,
came to America in the Mavflower,
later settled in Dorchester, S. C., then
emigrated to Georgia.
The first building was burned but
•was rebuilt in 1792, and has stood ever
since, a monument to the piety of its
founders apd their descendants, and a
place that is indissolubly linked with
the historv of the county prior to the
Civil War. It was aban
doned as a place of wor
ship after the Civil War, but the old
building and it# cemetery, where sleep
so many of the forefathers of the resi
dents of the county, still retain the af
fections of the people and are kept
In repair and good condition by a body
of select men who are appointed at
each annual meeting.
How great an effect and how power
ful an influence Midway Church had
upon the lives of its old congregations
Is Shown in the fact that, from its con
gregation. have been sent out thirty
five ministers. The late Rev. Dr. I.
S. K. Axson, for years pastor of the
Independent Presbyterian Church,
filled the pulpit of Midway Church for
seventeen years. Among its earlier
members was Lyman Hall, a signer of
the Declaration of Independence.
The building received rough usage
during the war: the Federal soldiers
used it as a barracks and wantonly
smashed aiul entirely destroyed the or
gan. Later its bell was given to the
Presbyterian Church of Flemington;
half of its communion service and the
marble baptismal font to the church
at Dorchester, and the remaining part
of the communion service to a Wal
thourville church. But though dis
mantled and forsaken it has not been
forgotten, as is proved by the large
number of people that attend Its an
nual meetings. This gathering yester
day was quite as large as usual. The
business meeting was held in the morn
ing, and then after an adjournment for
dinner. Dr. Fair delivered his address.
In beginning his address. Dr. Fail
said it was generally supposed that the
132d Psaim was sung at the dedication
of Solomon’s Temple. ‘'When the great
building was completed." he said, "and
the nation knelt at the new white al
tar. the first prayer chanted there and
echoed from the mighty arches was.
Lord, remember David. Why was
th's? David was not present; he was
not even living: for many years he
had been sleeping in the grave. Why,
then, on that great day. was his name
on every lip, and his memory fragrant
in every heart? The reason was. David
had planned the building of the temple.
That magnificent structure which
reached its culmination then, and add
ed such lustre to Israel, was the
thought of the mind that had turned
to dust.
"The anthems of praise, ringing
through its vaulted aisles, were merely
echoes of the impulses, the robbing in
that pious and patriotic heart which
had ceased to beat so long ago. He
did not live to see the completion of
the work, nor to realize its full conse
quences: the building he inaugurated
was ultimately destroyed, its altar
fire extinguished and its children scat
tered over the earth; but the influence
of his work abides, it has entered into
the ages and his name is held in affec
tionate and immortal remembrance. So
we are taught that those who begin a

good work for God and man are to be
gratefully remembered.
"As we gather in this ancient and
historic edifice, we recall the names
and honor the work of those who have
been sleeping so long beneath yonder
quiet mounds. As we tell over again
the story of their toils and sacrifices
and fidelity, their voices seem to speak
again as from the distant past, their
faces become radiant as with the glory
of God. They may not have lived to
see the completion of their work, nor
to realize its great and abiding effects
both upon church and state. The
stately temple their hands builded, may
be crumbling to ruin, its altar-fire ex
linguished. its children scattered; but
the Influence of their pious and patri
otic lives still abides, fresh and strong;
it is moulding other lives and commu
nities, its power is felt throughout our
country apd from it other churches
have sprung.
"We may not know the specific work
each did—indeed the names of some
may be even forgotten. In the inter
play of human influences, we may not
be able to separate the tangled threads,
to follow each one back to its source
and trace results unerringly to their
direct and real causes; but to the eye
of God, the chain of cause and effect,
however long, sweeping through time
and eternity, stretches out clear and
plain, each link separate and distinct;
there is no error, no confusion with
Him, and out of the vast complications
of time and the ensphereing of human
influences, the work of each individual
is clearly outlined. Impressions run
ning back through many years and
intertwined with other impressions.
God can follow, disentangle, and give
honor where honor is due. So, although
we may not be able to decipher the
names on some of these (rumbling
monuments, and although others may
be already lost In the dust of oblivion,
yet God remembers the toiling ones
who wrought upon the work.
“As at the dedication of the temple,
these names' will all be know n and
shine out when the great structure is
completed in heaven and the angels
sound the silvery trumpets of jubilee
on the mountains of Zion, even the un
known and forgotten ones will be held
in everlasting remembrance. Look at
the splendid fabric of our civil lib
erty; how do we enjoy its blessings?
It was built upon the sacrifices and
deaths of men who went before, some
of whom sleep in unmarked graves
from Lexington to Ycrktown. The same
is true of our religious liberty; the
peace we enjoy is the price of blood,
purchased by an ocean of suffering and
tears. Yet we do not know the names
of many of the faithful ones to whom
we owe the priceless blessing—their
memory was covered up by the ashes of
the stake, burned out in martyr fires.
So the Church of God. through the
ages, has been marching to its tri
umphs over the graves of men and wo
men who laid down their lives for duty
—unknown here, but known in heaven
and honored forever there.
"Let us strive to catch the inspira
tion of their lives, emulate their exam
ples. that when our little day of work
is done we may assemble at the great
reunion In that world where the years
cease to roll, and may meet again not
in a fading structure reared by man.

AXTIQI ITY OF “RAGTIME’’ Ml SIC.
Old as the Human Rare—No Fad.
and It Will Not Ole Out.
Front the Chicago Tribune.
“Call it what you will, and 'ragtime'
is as good as any other noise,” says
Thomas Preston Brooke. "This ‘rag
time' existed centuries before our time,
and it will go on for centuries to come
after we have been forgotten.” “Rag
time," its origin, its status, its merits
and demerits, and its chances for per
petuation have been worrying musi
cians with long hair and the public
having long purses, ever since a popu
lar song writer a few years ago claimed
to have "invented" its rhythm.
When a discriminating public for
public effect had jumped upon ragtime
and its popularity with the hoi polloi,
someone high in the musical world
came forward fn its defense, saying
that some of the world's famdus com
posers had used it in classic music;
that technically it was syncopation, and
under that name was worthy place in
any composition. Yet still the long
haired musician and his followers are
not reconciled. In the Chicago fed
eration of musicians there is a pros
pect of a split in the organization, leav
ing the players of the classic on the
one side and the ragtime champions
on the other. The long-haired men
are refusing to associate with the rag
time men. and the situation is becom
ing acute. In Denver last June the
American Federation of Musicians at
its annual convention passed a resolu
tion condemning ragtime and recom
mending that its members cease play
ing it. In lik measure the dancing
Teachers' Association of America and
the National Music Teachers' Associa
tion are declared against it and pledged
to discourage the use of ragtime in
every manner possible.
But against all of this, Brooke’s Chi
cago marine band at the Cincinnati
zoological gardens last season gave
■'rag-time concerts" every Wednesday
evening, and In spite of Cincinnati's
reputation as a musical city, these con
certs drew from 12,000 to 15,000 people
to them every evening. At these
concerts the best elements
of Cincinnati's population were
there doubling the attendances
at Wagner and Symphony con
certs. At the Buffalo exposition and in
every city in the United States and
Canada where Brooke's band has play
ed, 90 per cent, of the requests for mu
sic have been for the rag-time selec
tions.
Mr. Brooke's standing as a composer
of popular music has given him a voice
to be heard on the subject. Especially
is his opinion valuable when it is con
sidered that not one bar of rag-time
music occurs in his compositions, and
that while he does not defend it, he
makes it plain that rag-time music is
with the people for all time. Mrs.
James L. Blair, a society leader of St.
Louis, declared in a public address last
spring that the Missouri metropolis is
a ’Tag-time" city, and in the following
talk the bandmaster agrees with her
as to all cities being in the category.
"Rag-time” said Mr. Brooke, "is new
the most generally mooted of all
themes among musicians, but why such
a subject should threaten to disturb
the Chicago federation of musicians is
rather difficult to understand when
considered from an Intelligent and un
prejudiced standpoint. During the last
year there have been published count
less articles on rag-tfme, written by
prominent musicians, teachers, and
critics, many of whom had something
to say about who 'discovered' or ‘in
vented’ it. Rag-time was r.ot discover
ed' or invented by any one. Darwin
says 'music"was known and understood
before words were spoken,’ and I be
lieve that rag-time existed in the low
er animals long before the advent of
men. It is simply rhythm or intensified
rythm, and I have frequently obseived
animals keeping time to music having
a strong marked rhythm.
"Rhythm is the skeleton on which
all music is hung, and If you will strip
the so-called modern ragtime of its
melodies you will have the music that
has been in vogue since the beginning
of time and that still is the only mu
sic of many of the heathen races. It
is the ‘juber,’ buck and wing dance
of the old plantation darky, and no
more inspiring ragtime was ever play
ed than that which he patted with his
hands, shuffled with his feet, or
plunked on his rudely constructed ban
jo. All the oldtime ‘fiddlers' were rag
time performers. The backwoods
player who sat perched on a barrel in
a corner at a 'corn-husking bee,’ who
held his fiddle at his elbow and his
bow at half-mast, played the ‘Arkan
saw Traveler’ and 'Up Duck Creek’
in a style that would put to shame
many of the fellows who claim to have
originated what they are pleasetf to
call ‘ragtime.’
"Drummers have played nothing but
ragtime since the Invention of the
drum. The bass drum is now used only
to punctuate or emphasize the heavy
beats or pulse of the music; but in
the original 'sheepskin band' that has
furnished martial music for our sol
diers in times of war for centuries the
bass drummer used a stick in each
hand and helped -out the ragtime
rhythm of the snare drum.
"Who has not stood on a curbstone,
watching a passing parade, and no
ticed how wearily the men in line
plodded along to the .monotonous I—l—
—-2-3 of the bass drum? But when the
snare drums broke into their merry
ragtime beats of "tat-t tat-a-tat' how
the marchers immediately braced up
afid walked with a buoyant, elastic
step? According to good authority the
sense of rhythm is greater by 93 per
cent, than either the sense of har
mony or melody. Consequently, any
march with a strong rhythmic accent,
or a ragtime song with its intensified
rhythm, appeals more intensely to
greater mankind.
"I have often been asked ‘Why do
you play so much ragtime at your con
certs?’ and I always reply that ragtime
music is what is most demanded, and
that my mission is to please—not to
educate—the masses. It is not a crime
to acknowledge that you enjoy ragtime.
AH the old masters-wrote ragtime, and
that great poet and wizar* of harmony.
Richard Wagner, was a pastmaster at
it. It is a well known fact that the
themes for many of our most popular
ragtime songs were taken bodily from
his operas.
"I have always delighted in strong
contrasts—from the sublime to the
ridiculous, if you like—and I invaria
bly follow 'Tannhauser' or ‘Leonore’
overtures with some little street song
melody or ragtime march. It fre
quently happens that two persons will
sit side by side at one of my concerts,
one a lover of ‘high-class' music, the
ether with a desire only for the rag
time piece. By bringing the extremes
IN THE AIR.
The Germs of I-a Grippe are Con
veyed Th-onitli the Atmosphere.
No one can escape the La Grippe
germ because when an epidemic of the
disease is prevailing the air is laden
with it.
The reason that everyqne does riot
have the disease at the same time is
heoMis, the nersons who are enjoying
perfect health are able to successfully
resist and threw off the infection, while
those who for any reason are not in the
best of health, fall ready victims.
The first symptoms are those of acute
catarrh resembling a hard cold, and if
prompt, treatment is applied at this
time, it can easily be broken up; one of
tne oest remedies at this stage is Stu
art’s Catarrh Tablets, sold by drug
gists everywhere, and if taken freely,
■- one taol'-t every hour cr two for
two or three days, the danger of pneu
monia and serious complications will be
averted.
i c ney. L. E. Palmer. Baptist.cler
gyman of Ceresco, Mich., makes a
statement of interest to all catarrh add
grip suffererers. He says: “Stuart’s
Catarrh Tablets have certainly been a
blessing to me: I have used them lxeely
this fall and winter and have found
them a safeguard against La Grippe
and catarrhal troubles from which I
have suffered for years. I feel that I
can freely and conscientiously recom
mend them.”
Persons who suffer from catarrh of
the head and throat are very suscepti
ble to La Grippe and such will find a
pleasant, conveniefit and safe remedy
in this new catarrh cure.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are com
posed ehtlrely of harmless antiseptics
an<j may be used as freely as necessary
as they contain no cocaine, opiate or
poisonous drug of any kind
EOrXG women generally enter so j
heartily into every pleasure and j
duty, it is a great pity their lives
are so beset by the pitfalls of sickness and
danger. Just as they are entering the
state of conscious womanhood they begin
to realize the dangers ahead of them. Dis
ordered menstruation threatens the bloom
of health in their cheeks, just as they are
learning to cherish their beauty as a bless
ing'. Strong healthy girls, who have
romped at play with their brothers become
sickly helpless women if their menstrual
habits are not correctly established at the
start. Mothers should watch their daugh
ters as they are entering womanhood and
see that they are well equipped for the new
life. Girls who enter womanhood with
impaired health are doomed to life-long
suffering. But every mother can secure
good health for her girls by giving them

a natural and healthy starting of menstru

declared, and it will not ‘die out.’ It
pleases the God-given sense of rhythm
and will endure as long as the warm
blood flows in human veins—as long as

WILL NOT BORROW OR LEND.
Organization of a "Don’t Tonch”
Society Proposed.
From the St. Louis Republic.
When President Roosevelt became a
member of the "Don't Kroock” Society
it immediately sprang into prominence
and popular favor. Now another order
is suggested along similar lines, to be
called the “Don’t Touch" Society. If
President Roosevelt, King Edward or
some other individual of conspicuous
strength and popularity would lend a
helping hand to the "Don’t Touchers”
they would no doubt soon outnumber
the “Don't Knockers.”
The "Don't Touch” order is designed
to serve the twofold purpose of re
straining chronic borrowers and pro
tecting those who belong to the “easy
thing” class, and who are the chronic
victims of the chronic borrowers. The
constitution and detailed work of the
order have not become public, but a
general outline of the work may be
given. In order to become a member
of the "Don't Touch” Society several
obligations are required.
Each member pledges himself never
to loan money to anyone and never to
ask cr accept a loan of money from
another member of the organization,
and never to borrow from an outsider
under any conditions except those of
the most pressing and imperative char
acter. In case a metmber does make a
loan it must be reported to the order,
and if the conditions under which the
loan was procured are not fully ap
proved by the “penalty committee' the
member making the loan is required to
pay into the treasury of the society a
heavy monthly interest on the amount
loaned until the principal is paid to the
outsider from whom the loan was ob
tained.
Like the Masonic order, the “Don’t
Touch” Society does not solicit mem
bers. There can be but one condition
under which a person is asked to be
come a member, and solicitation in that
case carries with it a rebuke and a
public exposure, through which the so
ciety hopes to achieve its greatest
good. If a man is known to be a
chronic borrower any person who has
suffered considerably from his borrow
ing may enter formal complaint
against him with the society.
For illustration, suppose Brown has
borrowed from Jones and has failed
to pay back the loan. Jones reports
the matter to the "Don't Touch" So
ciety. and thereby, under ordinary cir
cumstances. becomes a member upon
payment of the initiation fee and by
complying wtth the other requirements.
But in order to reach Brown, Jones

at ion, to vital to a young woman's health
and happiness. After womanhood has
come the danger is not over. A cold may
make no end of trouble for the woman at
the monthly period. Wine of Cardui is a
medicine to use with benefit at any time
of life.
Miss Eva Smith is a very popular young
lady of Kansas City, Kansas. Her address
is Xo. 603 North Seventh street. Miss
Smith is the secretary of the Philomathion
society, a name which means “lovers of
learning”. Coming from Miss Smith the
letter which follows should have great
weight with suffering women who are long
ing for the relief which Wine of Cardui
gives. .
‘‘Last winter I caught a severe cold to
which I paid but little attention until I found
that it'was going from bad to worse and had
settled ail over my entire system, causing
serious inflammation and bearing down
pains. I suffered at the same time with
fever and headache and although 1 used the
physician’s prescription faithfully I found no
relief. I was advised to try four bottles of
Wine of Cardui. I did so and my health
was and since then I have perfect
confidence in the merit of your medicine.”
Perhaps you are irregular because you
are not doing anything for youiself ? If
this is so, you could not get better advice
than that Miss Smith gives you in her let
ter. She waited so long and got so bad
that inflammation appeared and bearing
down pains made her life miserable. That
was because she did not know what to
take. Irregular menses affect the entire
must do some more lodge his own com
plaint with the society. He must pro
duce at least one other reputable per
son from whom Brown has borrowed
money and failed to pay.
Complaint being formally made, af
ter due consideration a private com
munication is sent to Brown, in which
he is asked to become a member of
the order. If he ignores the invitation
his name is put down among those who
have declined in a similar way and
this list is published.
In each city the order is to have
a regular publication, and the list of
those who have been asked - ' to join
the order becomes the roll of dishonor
and is regularly published.
The secret work of the society is said
to be very interesting. The order has
a beneficiary provision by which mena.,
bers actually and honestly in need of
assistance may receive it through the
order, relieving them from the neces
sity of borrowing outside.
Each member carries a card or in
signia. which is an absolute proof
against borrowers. He has but to ex
hibit that emblem and the "toucher”
knows at once that under the oath of
the society the possessor of the em
blem can neither borrow nor lend.
TO ANSWER ANTI-MERGER BILL.
Lawyer* Will Contend Thnt There
I* No Control of Competing Lines.
New York( March 11.—Lawyers rep
resenting the Northern Securities
Company are preparing the answer to
the bill of equity filed in the United
States Circuit Court for the district
of Minnesota, to test the validity of
the merger. The lawyers retained are
said to be William P. Clough, William
Nelson Cromwell and Francis L. Stet
son, and the case will be argued by
ex-Afctorney General John W. Griggs.
It is said that the answer will be
that the Northern Securities Company
owns not more than 40 per cent, of the
Great Northern stock, or less than a
controlling interest, while it owns 98
per cent, of the Northern Pacific stock.
The lawyers of the defense hold that
there is no control of competing lines
and therefore there is no violation of
the anti-trust law.
