The Advertiser does not pro tend to usurp the office of the str men preacher, hut from a >trictI > secular point ot view wo wish t< warn against that form of gambling known politely as "specula tion."

Ever our shrewdest business men know nothing about it. Cotton mill men, whose business it is to watch and study the market, are wronjj as often as they are l ight?as a general rule. When you or 1 buy futures or sell them wo are betting. Morally, cotton futures and poker playing are on precisely the sumo level. Mean while, it is not necessarily uniiioiu! for a man to play cards for money or to speculate in cotton, provided a man risks his own money, to which 110 other man has any claim whatever and risks no more than he can afford to lose without in* volvingjloss to cieditors or do pendente, ho, in our judgment, commits no otl'ence. The difli eulty is that not one man in 10, 000 is ablo to do this. A man with a pocket full of dynamite would be a fool to ride a fox chase. The man who gambles is a greater fool because Le takes a greater risk?with rare exceptions. Speculation utterly untitsaman for business A bookkeeper who has a few cotton contracts is likely to do hia work in slapdash fashion while ha has the contracts. If he wins a few hundred dollars, the chances are that he will bo useless until he lias blown it in." Employers do not want and will not have young men who speculate on their payrolls. They cant afford it. The young man ambi tious to succeed who begins by buying cotton contracts begins at the wrong end. Early disaster is the invariable and inexorable result. ? Laurens Advertiser.

Why She Didn't Shout __ I Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead of Pittsburg is fond of telling stories at his .own expense. Whan ho was [rector of the Church of the Nativity at South Bethlehem, Pa., he acquired a convert for the Episcopal church in the nerson of ? - j \ Methodist woman who was much s$iven to contributing to the church iorvicos by ioterjecting"Ameo, and ''Alleluia." He explained to the good woman that such ejaculations wore not customary in the Episcopal church, and she sat gravely through a sermon on dignity and decorum in public worship. Afterward the Bishop thanked her for restraining her fervor. "No need to thank me," retorted the ex-Methodist. "You did'tsay anything to make me shout."?New Yoik Times. PNEU V10NIA AND L\ GRIPPE Cough cured quickly by Foley's Money and Tar. Kefuse substitutes. T. E. Funderburk. Many a girl shatters her ideal when she marries him. Two often cease to be company after they are made one. It is twice as easy to fool yourself as is to fool other people. Only a poverty-stricken office is compelled to seek the man. Many a man's respect for old age ends at boarding house pouN try. Some candidates get there with both feet and others put both jeet it it. About the time the average man succeeds in developing a theory it explodes. Love that has nothing but beauty to keep it alive is very apt to be short-lived. A woman never really enjoys hurting a man's feelings unless she loves him. CHILDREN POISONED Many children are poisoned and made nervous and weak, if not killed outright, by motbersgiving them cough syrups containing opiates. Foley's Honey and Talis a safe and certain remedy for coughs, croup and lung trouble, and is the only prominent cough medicine that contains no opiates or other poisons.

Ha had made a apeech at a political rally to which it seemed impossible to reply. A man named Russell was at last porsunded to take the stand. He at once attacked the record of the opponont with greundless charges. "Now," ho demanded, "stand up here and explain to these raters why, when you were in congress? you voted for a five-hundred dollar property qualification for franchise." "Little Alex" jumped up. Hie shrill voice was ear piercing. "It is false," he screamed. "I deny the fact." "les," said Mr. Russell "that is what I expected yon to do. M For twenty years you have been going around denying facts." The audience roared with delight, and "Little Alex" left the , ball. He said years afterward d ' that he never again used "fact" * in that familiar but illogical way. CASTOR IA Tor Infants and Children. The. Kind You Have Always Bought F I Notice to Pensioners.
