Laurens, Sept. 1.—In a short talk with Col. Irby this evening, he was asked “What have you to say about yesterday’s primary ?” To which he answered: “I have nothing to say except that Till man, pretending to be hands off, has sneakingly come into the State and knifed me to the fat. I made Tillman what he ia today. I uev er asked his support; I did not expect it; I gave him credit for being trnthfal when he said he was bands off. When he attacked me in hia intsrview I called him down by telegrams. In his an swers he lied like a dog, but I was stopped- I made this fight to protect the poor people of the State against the ravages of the north. I expected Tillman would help be cause the poor people in the State made ns what we are. As to Mc Laurin, I have nothing to say. As to Tillman, I put him upon notice that when we meet he may expect trouble. All that I ask is that he give the rattlesnakes notice before he attacks. Further than this, I have nothing to say.” Reflections of a Bachelor. An engaged girl may feel awfully sure of everything, but she doesn’t eat many onions till after she gets married. After a girl has once decided that she won’t have a man if he asks her, she will never forgive him for not asking her. No girl ever respects a man much till he has made her lose her tem per. When a rich girl’s hair looks like streaked molasses candy, it is said to be of the color of spun gold. Down at the bottom of every woman’s prayer is a reminder to the Lord that he knows she has to put up with so much from her hus band. Hens had teeth till they took to eating gravel so they could crow like roosters did. — New York Press. Why You should Join the . . . Knights of Damon BECAUSE Payments are limited to a cer tain age, when no more premiuma will be required. BECAUSE In our laws we do not make in itiation and lodge attendance ea aential to membership. * BECAUSE Provision is made for the support of members who reach old age, when the probabilities are they will have no one dependent upon them, but will themselves be dependent upon others. BECAUSE Our premium is divided into twelve equal parts, and you have the option of paying it monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annual ly, without extra cost. BECAUSE We offer insurance simply for protection, and the annual differ ence in the cost of our plan and that of the .“old line” companies, properly invested, will double any dividend or cash surrender offered by the “old line” companies.
