A DUMMY LiJNK FOH LAUKKN8.
To Connect the Towns of Crow H1U

[Special to The State.)
Laurens, S. ? '., May 14.-Two of the
great railroads bisecting LaurensCounty
the P. R. de W. C. and the O., C. A N??
are to be connected by a dummy lino
running from Cross Hill to Waterloo.
The two towiis are distant from each
other only about five miles, and the In
tervening ground Is perleotJy level. It
is intimatod that the lino can be built
and put in operation for something like
$18,000. Tho proprietor of the Waterloo
3prlngs is considering the project, which
by the way, is not a bad guarantee that
it will materialise
Tho Centennial.
My ldoas concerning what the Cen
tennial celebrated arc, like the oloudtj
whioh charaotorl/.od It, somewhat mur
I ky. Anybody, however, who has had
tlio honor of an acquaintance with
McDonald Furman, knows that ho is
gonerally sound on tho fuets, and the re
flection that bo is the man tbat raked
up the records ought to satisfy the
most sceptical. To bo sure The State
and othor newspapors made couiploto
exposures or all that Die great town
painting signified, but most of us were
happy only in the thought that it was a
genulno bonafldc contonnlal and didn't
burden ourselves with the details.
People who wore in Columbia Wed
nesday, Hampton's day, say that the
welcome accorded to the old general
was grand In overy respect. His speech,
as roported in tho papers, was in exquis
ite taste and could not not havo boon
moro appropriate, but tho proseiico ot
the hero himself awaking tho wild robel
yoll from old soldiers was tho true elo
quence Of tho Occasion. The Lumens
Guards formed apsrt of Genoral Hamp
ton's military oscort to tho Fair
Grounds whore tho speaking took
placo.
I arrived In Columbia Thurs
day morning in timo to viow tho
military parade. It was tho foaturo of
tho throo days. There wero moro than
fifteen hundred soldiers in lino, possl*
bly tho largest body of troops ovor to
gether In tho state In time of peace,
They wore a lino looking sot of follows
und a sight of thorn would havo arguod
tho oxasporatod citizens of modern
Home into n good humor with the
whole world.
Our eonip*any, tho Guards, was one of
the handsomest lu the line and the bear
ing of tho boys was gonerally admired.
Laurens olvllltans were very proud of
them and tho town may rest assured
that honors will ho added to Its reputa
tion wbonovor and wherever tho Guards
make an appearanco boforo strangors.
Lieut. Col. Crank Evans rodo just in
front with tho ofllcors of tho brigade.
Govornor Ttllttian rodo at tho hoad of
tho procession end looked as woll as an
unprofessional beauty knows how. Tho
feet that ho was not cheered very much
doesn't signify : tho crowd indulged in
very littlo noise and cheorod nothing
savo 0110 or two companies as thoy
passed and those only to a li mi ted ox
tont.
Politics and Tlllmunism wero conspic
uously absent from tho whole colobra
lion. Tho Laurens arch was one of tho
protttiost on tho stroot. To tho gentlo
mon who instigated and porpotratod it,
our city owes a lasting dobt. Mr. J. T.
Harris, who was on the ground, several
days beforo tho oponlng of tho show,
took cbargo of it and saw that it was
properly decorated. Tho firo works and
industrial procession I did not soo.
Tho number ot visitors in the city
was vory, vory largo and most of thotn
woll behaved. It was not uncommon to
soo a man on his last logs, but, unlike
McGinty, low of thorn went down com
pletely.

splendid and never in camp meeting or

of music. Thon when the songstress bad
finished and In obodionce to another
encore sang wttll lire and spirit "Dixie,"
tho crowd wont wild. Fashionably at
tired ladies and gentlemen, soldiers,
children, everything from gallery to pit
cheered and cheered again until the
ratters shook and trembled. It was a
glorious time whioh will not be forgot
ten.
On Thursday evening, a Stato Confed

bles From the Imureoi Arch.
Mr. A, F. Blair, a farmer from
Blair's Station, on tbeSpartanburg,
Union and Columbia railroad, met
with a fearful accident yesterday
morning which may cost him his
life. He was passing up Main
street, and reaching the Laurens
arch, saw a ladder extending to
the top, left there by the decorators.
He got on the ladder ami in a vein
of fun ascended, and when getting
to the top. a distance of eighteen
feet, caught hold of a piece of wire,
which gave way, causing the un
fortunate man to fall headlong to
tho street beneath.
Mr. Blair was quickly picked up
and carried to Dr. Bay's office in
Washington street, where he re
ceived every attention.
He was knocked senseless by tho
fall, and it was some time before
he regained consciousness. An ex
amination showed that ho had re
ceived several cotusions on the
head and a terriblo gash, extend
ing to tho bone. It is thought, too,
that ho Is injured internally.
Mr. Blair was later in the day
conveyed to tho city hospital, and

along very well.

Some of our farmers have replant

Embezzler and Defaulter.
Kansas City, May 18.?A spec
ial from Great Bend, Kansas, says:
"Three weeks ago (). B, Wilson,
real estate abstractor, ex-Mayor of
this city and a man of high stand
ing in (lie Masonic and Knights of
Pythias lodges, disappeared from
here. It was said ho had suddenly
become insane and gone away to
seek medical advice. It has been
discovered that Wilson is an om
bezzler and defaulter to the amount
of at least $40,000. Ho was agent
of several farmers who wore pay
ing off thoir mortgagor, and the
money placed in his hands for
that purpose has not boon put to
that use, The losses to tho farmers
amount to about $5,000. By forg
ing deeds and abstracts Wilson ob
tained $5,000 from the Insterstato
Finance Company, $5,000 from C.
W. II. Batcher & Co., $1,000 from
tho First National Bank, of Great
Bend and various smaller amounts
from other institutions. Tho total
of his embezzlements and pecula
tions is now known to bo in the
neighborhood of $10,000, and the
examination of his affairs is still
incomplete. When last heard of
Wilson was in Portland, Oregon,
It is believed ho has escaped to
Australia,"

The Surest Remedy
For indigestion, costiveness, and Blck-headaohe is Ayer'o Fills.
The harsh, drastio purgatives, onco deemed indispensable to
a "thorough cleaning out" of the system, have given place
to milder and more skilfully-prepared laxatives. Foremost
among these are Ayer's Pills. Being composed of the essential
principles of the most effective cathartics, without calomel
or any other injurious drug, no ill effects ever follow their use.
For this reason, these Pills are everywhere recommended as
the best family medicine. Their sugar-coating makes them easy
to take, and preserves their medicinal strength in any climate
and for an indefinite length of time.
" I was a sufferer, for years, from cbrouic
dyspepsia and liver troubles, and found
no permanent relief until I commenced
taking Ayer's Pills. They havo effected
a complete cure." ?O. W. Moouey, Walla
Walla, W. T.
"I was master of a sailing vessel for a
number of years, and never failed to pro
vide a good supply of Ayer's Pills, for the
use of both officers and meu. Thoy are a
safe and reliable cathartic, and always givo
satisfaction"?U. Robinson, 22 ?. Pearl St.,
Pair Haven, Conn.
" In 1858, by the advlco of a friend, I began
tho use ot Ayer's Pills as a remedy for bil
iousness, constipatiou, high fevers, and colds.
They served me better than anything I had
previously tried, and I have used them in
attacks of that sort over since." ? H. W.
Hersh, Judsoma, Ark.
" For years I have been subject to consti
pation aud uervous headache, caused by
derangement of Uie liver. After taking vari
ous remedies, I have becomo conviuced that
Ayer's Pills are tho best. Thoy have never
failed to relievo my
Bilious Attacks
" During several months past I have been
subject to attacks of bad headache, without
being able to remove tho trouble by medical
treatment. In looking through Ayer's Al
manao I read the statements of persons
cured of similar attacks by tho use of Ayer's
Cathartic Pills, and was induced to givo
them a trial. They have benefited mo so
much that I consider it my duty to mention
my case to you for tho benefit of others."?
Mrs. Mary Guymoud, Flint Village, Fall
Hirer, Mass.
" I havo now used Ayer's Pills In my fami
ly for seven or eight years. Whenever I
havo an attack of headache, to which 1 am
very subject, I take a doso of Ayer's Fills
and am always promptly relieved. I find
them equally beneficial in colds ; and, In my
family, they arc used for bilious complaints
and other disturbances with such good effect
that we rarely, if ever, have to call In a phy
sician."?H. Yuullieme, Hotel Voulliemc,
Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
in a short timo; and I am sure my system
retains its tone longer after tho use ot these
Pills, than has been the case with any other
medicine I have over tried."? II. S. Sledge,
Weimar, Texas.
"For a long time I was a sufferer from
stomach, liver, and kidney troubles, experi
encing much diniculty in digestion, with
severe pains in the lumbar regions and other
parts of tho body. Having tried a variety of
remedies, Including warm baths, with only
temporary relief, about three months ago I
began tlio use of Ajor's Fills, and already
my health Is so much Improved that I
gladly testify tn the superior merits of this
medicine."?Manoel Jorgo Pcrelra, Oporto,
Portugal.
" 1 have used Ayer's Pills for tho past
thirty years and consider them an invaluablo
family medicine. I know of no bettor rem
edy for liver troubles, and havo always found
them a prompt cure for dyspepsia."?James
