HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. Wednesday, September 9,1903. The attention of oar readers is again called to the notice calling for a road convention to be held at this place on Saturday, September the 19th. There are many good, substantial men with practical views and feasible plans in the the county, who desire to discass the question of good roads, and adopt some plan for the improvement of our public bigh, ways. This question has aroused much interest amoDg our people in every section of the county and is being discussed by them in their neighborhood gatherings. Oar people are anxious for better rosds but , they want some system in tbeir improvement so that it can be done in the best and most* economical manner. We are confident that something practical will be accom pliehed by the convention on the 19tb, so let everybody come and take part in tbe meeting. It inquires botb money and muscle, as well as wind to improve roads. Chronic grumbling at tbe condition of the roads will not make tbem any better, but a plan can be agreed upon that will meet all conditions and requirements, and to do this is tbe purpose for wbicb the convention is called. Mr. Thos. J. LaMotte of Columbia, baa accepted tbe appointment as one of tbe organizers in this State for tbe Temperance Educational Bureau at Hyde Park, Chicago. Tbe object of 4ois organization is to establish and conduct a systematic and continuous education and agitatioo on tbe various phases of tbe temperance reform by tbe judicious use of specially prepared tracts and other literature, this meth od having been fonnd to be the most effective way of showing the 6viis of the liquor traffic and persuading people to work and vote for its destruc* tion. Mr. LaMotte hopes to enlist the prompt cooperation of all friends of Temperance and will be pleased to furnish them all information as to the plans cf the Bureau and the methods of operation. Franklin Jacob Barman. On Saturday, August 22, death stalked into the home of Franklin Jacob Harman, and claimed as bis victim the husband and father. That home is now bereft of its bead and counsellor, but he has only gone before to claim the reward of bis unwavering faith on earth, with the prayer that ail who are near and dear to him here should follow and meet in the haven of eternal rest. Let us all join in this invocation. He was born on the rugged hills on the south side of Saluda river, on 21th January, 1832. His father was Jeremy Harman and his mother Miss Elizabeth Lites. There were five brothers and four sisters in the family, three of each survive him. His education was such as the country schools of those days afforded, and after getting what could bp obtained from them, he took a course in the Lexington Classical and Theological Institute then conducted by Rev. Dr. Hazelius and Rev. Berley. Most of his education was obtained by his own exertions obtaining means by working on the farm and teaching in vacations. At the ege of 22 he married Jane Rebecca Meetze, daughter of Henry Mebize ana granadau^ntbr ut Jttev. Godfrey Dreher. He lived with his wife a short time at the old home, then moved to the Beuben Corley place in the pine section in the western part of the county; after living there several years he moved to a point near his last residence. Upon the breaking out of the late Civil war, he at once volunteered, ie*v:n? bt-hind his wife aBd two email eons. He was stationed duriDg the first part of the war at Charleston and was engaged in severe fighting around James and Sullivan Islands. The latter part of the war he was transferred to Columbia, and remained in the service to the end. Coming home he found that his home and its contents had been burned by Sherman's soldiers. Undaunted, he started again, and early in the seventies bought the lands where he lived the latter part of his life, moved the West Boozer house out to the Lexington road, remodeled it, making it a convenient and comfortable home. He was a successful planter and business man, and made money farming. He was one of the foremost workers in building Providence church in which he served as treasurer for 12 years in succession. For many years he was also Superintendent of the Sunday school. In the building of New Horeb church he took a leading part, and it was largely through his work and influence that this church was built. He was for a number of years Superintendent of the Sunday school in this church. He was a living example of his own high idea of Christian life. He was a true friend and a good neighbor. Those of his neighbors who have had 4 afflictions of sickness and death testify to his untiring ministrations. It is good for us and the world that such men have lived. While his body is dead, his influence and example live on. His body was laid to rest in the ' Tk 1 .1 L cemetery at jrroviaence cnurcn, on Sunday afternoon, August 23 rd. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. S. Beasley, Presiding Elder, assisted by Revs. Barre, Quick and Graichen. A Friend. Cancer Cured ly Blood Balm.' All Skin and Blood Diseases Cured. Mrs. M.

NERVOUS PROSTRATION CURED BY PE-RU-NA. Mr. Hal. P. Denton, Chief Department Pablicity and Promotion of National Export Exposition, writes: Philadelphia, Dec. 20,1S99. The Pernna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0. Gentlemen:?"Toward the latter part of August I found myself in a very much run-down condition. I suffered particularly from catarrh of the stomach, aggravated no doubt by the responsibilities and worriment incident to the exploitation of a great international exposition. "What I ate distressed me and I would lie awake at night 'threshing Dyer,' if I may use that expression, the affairs of the previous day. "My family physician said I had nervous prostration and recommended a sea voyage. 1 gradually grew worse. 4 kind friend whom / had known in Ohio recommended Peruna. Though skeptical, I finally yielded to his advice. After using one bottle I was much improved and with the fifth bottle came complete recovery. J am in perfect health to-day and owe everything to Peruna." Very truly yours, 1 HAT P DP/VTOV. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice free. ^ Address Dr. Hartman, President ol The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
