LAURENS.S. C, July 10, 1895. 1 J Sentiment. BJejw^would expeot to hear of sentl ^tnont inat?wo.,of such recent growth and practical trend as Atlanta. That they should Interest themselves to get a show for themselves and neighbors this fall is not surprising; but they have had a sensation for the last two wooks in "their effort to bring tho old Philadel phia Liberty bell down there to be a part of tho show; tho city council of . the town of Brotherly Lovo havo at last consented for the old bell to bo brought down and a special coach will be built for its transportation and a committeo of council will come In State as a guard of honor. Tho sons and daughters of the revolution, that Is is to say of La fayette, Ko8kiusko, Pulaskl, DoKalb, and Steubon will bo attracted and as Atlantans wore mostly red mon whon the troubles with tho mother country happened the doscondants of these worthlos will bo thrice welcomed. In the meanwhile the old liberty bell might bo utilized this side of the Sa vannah and this would be a good point to encourage. Tlllman, John Gary Evans, Y. J. Pope, Eugono Gary, Pui sne Judges Buchanan, Townsond and others of that Ilk, to wit tho whiskey constabulary, might bo sent over as a special exhibit In lieu of any othor con tribution. Thoro is no telling how llb certy or. lines might Impress thorn and borne healthy ldoas of the "liberty of the subject" might bo brought homo. Besides tho porsonal suggested would bo a unique attraction in ttsolf and contribute to the success of tho show. * * ?? ? v Willowy Charleston. The dominant oloment in-oVr lovely olty by the soa seem lately to have adopted tho motto of the accomodating Frenchman: "Bond like the willow to tho storm." Thoy desire a division of delegates to tho constitutional conven tion and recommend It to the entire State. This is late?all of us and around us havo boon clamoring for a non-partlzan constitution. It is now apparent that wo are not to havo it; and our clty-by-the-sea neighbors abandon tho "boar-me-stltlly-up" policy and beg for peace. Of course Charles ton, Sumter, Rlohland and othor coun ties can send good men to the conven tion, but thoy cannot dot an 1 or cross a t to tho constitution Tlllman carries type-written in his humble working mans breeches pocket at Trenton. Thoy will oat humble plum pie In Columbia and share the responsibility as "con servatives" going to the convention as suppliants and beggars, rather than as men?mon. Sound horse sense will leave tho constitution to Tlllman, with the responsibility. n * # Hid out In the Woods. Tho people of South Carolina by their masters are about to have enacted for thorn and their posterity a Fundamental Law to regulato their liberties and fortunes. The pooplo know no more than babes what aro to bo the provisions in tho constitution. Only tho bosses aro in the secret.? Whlto supromacy, thoy mysteriously answer. This we have, as sccuroly as our existence. There must bo othor mysterious reforms to be secured, that if "blazoned forth" might bo cn dangorod. Ordinarily an Intelligent citizenship would demand publication of every proposod change In the fun damental law before agonts are cloctod to enact the Reforms. When It Is made, It Is to be hoped thoro will bo no chances left for "hiding It out In tho bushes." * * * Economical Justice. The present reform In South Caro lina of a Judgo sending tho accused to jail without trial by jury has tho vir* tuo of economy. It will bo a groat sav ing?this trial by Jury wrested from n tyranlcal king by bold barons, is. a costly procoduro. It won't hurt, it is to bo hoped, as in tho caso of Lord Jef freys who hung four thousand, scourged a thousand, und sent two thousand to the p?nal colonlos In. a short toun on his circuit. This thing of loaving it exclusively to the Judgo might become awkward although It turns largoly on who Is hanged. * * Assoolate Justlcos Pope and Gary ap pear to make tho judgments of our Su preme Court. It scorns that thoy roach conolusions by different routos but at tho end of tho course somohow aro hap pily concurrent. * * * Senator Tlllman is reported to havo llred four shots at a colorod boy found deprecating upon his plum prosorvos. Tho country will not be surprised, as it understands the senators appreciation of ?'plums." * * # Opposition papers in this State speak ia kindest terms of Reform-Lieutenant Govornor Tlmmorman, who has shown so thoroughly lndopendent of boss dic tation. A black swan shows up now and then. The Yankoos couldn't stand tho paco set by tho Engllshers In the Thames boating, Roast beef against codfish balls. The Governor of Indiana thinks that the pPospeots of tho Democracy bright en as tho silver crazo diminishes. You had best bo careful In laying your pile on a colt when tbo odds aro 16 to 1 against him. There was no laok of "batteries" on the Immortal fourth. It is now a settled fact that the Con servative Democrats of Anderson County will not go into the primary election for delegates to tho Constitu tional Convention. This, we think, is wise and proper, for In the end they will be better off. If they havo made a mistake no one will be to blame but thomselves, and wo believe they will bo able to bear the blame, if it is neces sary. Thoy ore tired of ring rule and one-man powor, which has brought no good to tho people, and thoro Is only one way to get rid of such and ceaso bearing any of tho responsibility for It, and that Is by staying out of any of Irby's primary eleotlons In future.? Tho Conservatives wont into Irby's trap last year iu good faith, and every body knows tho result. They were looked upon as intruders by tho Re formers, who went off to thomsolves luto another primary and tried to force their nominee down our throats. It was an overdose for tho Conservatives, and we bollove thoy now havo enough "Backbono" of the Tom Dlxon concep tion to enablo them to rosist any moro doses.?Anderson Intelllngcer. # ? ? Wo have all tho whllo suspected the Grooks when thoy brought gifts. It Is a nlco game of Tillman, ot al , to-have Joo. Barnwoll and Lamb Bulst to play socond llddlo In making a Constitution to their tasto. Wo only doubt our theory whon we spoculato that any sane crowd would hope to fool a Char leston politician. We may bo all wrong howovor, and In such case, tho roador will readily pardon our diagno sis. Tho Constitution may still bo In tho clouds and tho Charleston States men may bo called on to play tho role of BONA FIDE Solons. Tho Diroctors of tho Stato Lunatic Assylum at Columbia are much puz zled; tho Institution is more crowded than In tho past and tho cry Is. still thoy como. Tho Diroctors havo de termined to build another house and buy moro land. Why not build a sort of Chinoso wall from tho Atlantic ovor about Horry along tho North Carolina lino, to tho Georgia frontier, thence an abattis to tho Boaufort coast and tura everything looso ox cept the Supromo Court? *** A dologation to represent Laurens ' Is suggested by "many cltizons" in this paper. It composes partisans on both factions, but a satisfactory representa tion can bo had from tho field named, balancing tho forces. Tho Adver tiser has all tho while wanted poace and harmony. Wo are In tho position to accept "Hobsons choice '?take them as thoy como. * * ? Ono of our cotemporaries in a neigh boring county speaks of tho Primary as "fudamental democracy." The fact of tho business is, somebody will lay it to tho door of poor old Thomas Jeffer son bofore long. Llko tho township Idea It Is pure yankee and as close kin to republican mothods as twoedledom to twecdledeo. *?* Teachers who fall to attend the sum mer sohool at tho South Carolina Col logo now in session aro losing the golden opportunity of their livos. Tho lecturos aro by tho abl?st Professors in tho Stato, of a high order, interesting, instructive, beautiful. * ? * Tho Charleston News and Courier with its usual enterprise has brought to Its aid all tho improvod mochanlcul appliances for printing and tho paper wears a metropolitan faco. Wo oxtend our cordial congratulations upon signs of prosperity and progross. *** If tho geographical nomouclaturo of old Agoliold has not been changed thoy havo a precinct called Plum Branch. Tillman has set up a rival in Plum Run. n * * Three babies and all three little girlies at Frankio Clovolands House: Esther, Ruth and-;'evory moth ers' son and daughter of us engaged In filling the blank. * .What has become of tho Juno bugs?

Wish we had the power to explain tho financial situation. May be some ono olso can, but tho whole thing is so mixed up between party influences, money rings, and grasping after ad vantage that we don't believe any one can see light in tho present condition.

Why Was It that Aycr'8 Sarsapnrllla, out of the great number of similar preparations manufac tured throughout the world, was the only medicine of the kind admitted at tho World's Fair, Chicago? And why was it that. In spite of the united efforts of tho inantifaoturors of other preparations, tho decision of the World's Fair Directors was not reversed? BECAUSE According to Rut.R 15?"Articles that aro in any v/ny dangerous or offensive, also patent medicines, nostrums, aud empirical prepara tions, whoso ingrredionts are con cealed, will not bo admitted to tho O: Exposition," and, therefore? Became Ayer's Kaisaparilla is not a patent medielne, not a nostrum, and not a socrot preparation.

Read what a prominent merchant of ColumbiiyVj. C, has to sayd Harris Lithia Water. "I had long been affected with kidney troubles. Vhad tried all th mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter SpringrP I had tried th? Western waters and all others that I could hear of, arw I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited me even approximately as much as the Harris Lithia Water. I was using the Buffalo Lithia Water when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the Buffalo Water again. "When I went to Harris Lithia Springs, I had to be assisted out of my chair. After remaining two weeks I could get about as"good as anybody. It acted on me like a charm?quickly and effectively. This water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I think every person who has tried it will agree with me in the belief that it is the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suffering hu manity, I would like very much to sec it given a trial. C. A. BALDWIN, Columbia, S, C. Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs, S. C. AsiIBVILLB, N. C, September, 0, 1893. Mr. J. T. Harris: We have been selling the Harris Lithia Water for some time, and find it a ready seller; those who have tried it arc loud in its praise. The doctors here regard it superior to either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. We predict for it a wonderful sale when the merits become more generally known. Yours very truly, RAYSOR & SMITH, Prescription Druggist. PROSPERITY, S. C. Feb. 28, 18O4. Mr. J. T. Harris: I have been under the treatment of several physicians, and been to different watering places during the last ten years for kidney disease. It affords me pleasure to say that I have received more benefit from the use of Han is Lithia Water than all remedies combined. Respectfully, ?. D. BROWN.
