Laurcns is tho most unlovol place in
South Carolina unless it is Ohostor,
Tho latter is also noted for its vine
covorod hou808.
Nowborry is roinarkablo for it- nar
row streets and tho habit of its popu
latlsn of coming to tho depots when
the trains pass, to moot friends and bid
them good-bye. Its public square al
ways appears to bo crowded with peo
ple*
Everybody knows Columbia for her
muddy water, tho beauty of her wide
Btroota and splendid trees.
Andorson is tho most prosperous and
"solid" business town in the State in
proportion to tho blowing about it.
Andorson does not toll bnlf enough
about horsolf.
Charleston's crowning glory is unos
tentatious hospitality. Churlestun peo
are the most ditlicult people to arouse
In the world, and onco aroused, are
tho stubbornest lighters.
Sumter 's tho prettiest town in the
State south of tho Piedmont. It has a
largo Jewish elomont who are public
spirited and progressive.
Alken is better known beyond the
limits of the State than any town in it
excopt Charleston.
Spartanburg has a reputation for the
"pull together" of its people in busi
ness affairs and for wealthy men.
Walhalla Is the only town in the
Stato with a separately incorporated
suburb divided from it by a quarter of
u mile unincorporated "country'' ter
ritory. It is the longest town in tho
State.
Lexington Is the only town in tho
Stato supposed to be located on a rail
road and Is not, -which a traveller
discovers when ho leaves the train.
Camden is in every way Charleston
in miniature. There is even a mill
pond at Camden which is as lovely on
a small scale as the Charleston harbor,
The Abbeville people an' prouder of
their town than any other people in
South Carolina. An Abbeville man
thinks it is bettor to have been born in
Abbevillo than with a title backed up
by a fortune.
Clinton Is celebrated for its good
morals.
Dort Royal is the city of great ex
pectations just about to be realized,
One naturally thinks of Beaufort in
connection with a few beautiful homes
and numerous old maumas selling tish
and oysters in small shops.
Wlnnsboro is full of Seeedors, Pres
byterians and education.
Florence is distinctively tin- railroad
town of tho Stato.?not that it has
more railroads but simply, a "railroad
air about it.''
Georgetown ha* shells, live oaks
history and long names for streets,
churches, streams and organizations.
We always think of Con way as
though it were on another planet.
Hamburg is the town of a prosperous
past, a desolate present and apparently
no future whatever.
Rlaek River bream are the pride of
K ingstree.
Brauohvllle is tho oldest railroad
center in the whole world. The "South
Carolina" rail road was first to have a
junction and It was at Branchvillo.
One always associates Orangoburg
with tho colored colleges but they are
a small fragment of the town, which is
lively enough.
I'nion is another place which, like
Abbeville and Camden. is noted for
charming hospitality.
Wo know little of .Marion but always
think of it as a pretty town with pine
trees and whlto sand.
Cheraw l8 quaint and elderly In ap
pearance. It has more lawyers than
any town In tho Stale not a county
soat.
Kock Hill is famous for hustle. It is
tho best advertiser of nil the towns.
Croon wood has a multiplicity of rail
roads and is a great place for tourna
ments and frolics of that character.
GatTney is a town that has grown In
to commercial importance while many
people woro not awaro of its existence.
Yorkville has a newspaper that is
famous In newspaper circles all over
the country. And yet Yorkville Is not
as well known as it should bo.
Kdgofiold, town and country, pro
duces tho most distinctive type in tho
State. Kdgoflold people have positive
qualities, Bometlmes good and somc
timos bad. Tho practiced eye can re
cognize tho Rugefioldlan instantly.
Kdgoliold Is addicted to wide brimmed
slouch hats and politics.
And Greenville? Why, when the
angels from Hoaven bless earth with a
visit they stop inCroenvilo first, in or
dor that the transition may not be
too sudden.
So Laurons is sot down as a city of
"High Kollers." Who gave her this

Tho farmers aro in good spirits

When a person is losing ll sh
and wasting away there is cause
for alarm. Nothing so worries a
physician. Consumptives would
never die if they could regain
their usual weight. In fact there
would be no consumption if there
was no wasting of the system. The
cause of this loss of flesh is a fail
ure to properly digest the food
eaten. Nine-tenths of all our dis
eases date hack to some derange
ment of the stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial
will stop the wasting of the body.
It acts by causing the food we eat
to he digested so as to do good, for
undigested food docs mure harm
than good. The Cordial contains
already digested and is a digester
of food as well.

It is folly to build upon a poor

in health. A foundation of sand is
insecure, and to deaden symptoms
by narcotics or nerve compounds is
equally dangerous and deceptive.
The true way to build up health is
