For more that ten years he has apepared under Red path management-a fact whicl speaks for itself. During the yearf which he has devoted to the Lyceun platform, many offers from vaudevilli and theatrical managers have beer turned aside by Mr. Laurant because he believed in the Lyceum as a great er field in which to present his work In fact, as a charter member of the International Lyceum Association, he has had no small part in the develop. ment of this organization and the Lyceum movement as a whole. The high esteem in which he is hekd by the members of his own professior is evidenced in the fact that he was given a gold medal by the Society 01 American Magicians. He has also ap. peared on several occasions before so cities of scientific research. Ithas always been Mr. Laurant's aim to have the most artistic magic entertainment before the public.

Mr. Laurant accepted no Lyceum engagements during the past season as he devoted all of his time to enter taining our boys in the camps through out the country. His programs were a big success and he was a great favorite of the boys in khaki who gave him the title of "The Talkative Tricks ter." The production of the coming season will be equipped in the usual lavish manner that has characterized all his entertainments, the stage settings sur passing in beauty all previous efforts. A capable stage manager will have charge of this mass of equipment, in-, suring a perfect presentation of the program. Mr. Laurant will be assisted by a talented pianiste who wil delight the audiences with her piano solos. She also will take an active part in the various magic scenes.

The Hamilton Sales Co., Columbia, S. C. No.5-tf. few interesting observations regard ing the Comer amendment which was rejected by the conferences on the agricultural appropriation bill. He said: "I desire to say that I regret very much that the conferences did not agree on what is known as the Comer amendment. There is no reason in the world why there should be a dif ference of two cents a pound between the actual cotton and the future mar ket. "By reason of the fact 'that under the law the seller has the right to tender any of the ten grades it keeps down the price so that the operation is simply a millstone around the neck of cotton. While it may not be pos sible to get this legislation now, I hope the day will soon come, and I believe it will come shortly, when the people, even in the South, the members of Congress from the South, will bet ter understand the theory of this amendment and some law will be en acted. "It ought to be so the future mar ket and the spot market shal ]go along together and then the only difference there ought to be from one month to another would be the additional car rying charges. We lose million, an nually by unfair dealings."'
