An Individual who was appointed by Mr. MoKlnloy collector of Internal revenue for tbid stato has failed of confirmation because bo was Impli cated in tho lynching of a negro or two. Ho thinks bo has been badly treated. But as tho job was obtained for him under tho prodigiously false pretense that he was a gold Democrat, lie has no ground tocompluin. Besides, ho received a lot of glory at the time on account of his part in tho lynching Tlmo was when being a gold Democrat was a far moro serious political crime in this state than being a lyncher and it must bo conceded that never was there a soul less guilty of tho former than was this thoroughly unconfirmed collector. Of course he may have be come a gold Domocrat aftor tho hope of Republican favor loomed up. **? Its' Object. Tho object of tho campaign meeting on the 18th is to expose tho candidates to the careful Inspection of tho voter. Tho lights will bo turned on these fel lows who want office that day. Lot the voters come and oxamino G?nter, Boyd, Stevenson, Gantt, Wilson and the huge crowd who aro running for railroad commissioner. THE Adver tiser would liko to seo 5,000 voters in Laurons on tho IStb and there is no reason why such a crowd should not come. Let them come and have some fun. Lot so many come that tho candi dates will get scared. *#? Why Not Make Bricks.' An Abboville paper notes that an Abbeville brick-maker has orders ahead for ten millions of bricks. Mean while, Laurons buys brick from Green wood. Thoro Is plenty of good clay convenient to railways in Laurens. A capital of four or five thousand dollars would be ample to establish a briok making plant of largo capacity. There is a good, comfortttblo safe, HviDg In the business and a chance to accumu late a competency. Wood Is choap In Laurens. A man who will work is all that is needed. Everybody Come., People who wish to vote this year for the be3t men, and everybody 60 wishes, must .attend the campaign meeting on the 18th and lind out who the best men are. Ansel, Talbert, Heyward, Dr. Tlmmorman and Col. Tlllman aro men worth hearing. _v;_ WILL BE OF VALUE. Tho Soil Survey In Laurens aud Re sults Expected.

Remem ber, they are printed as they were originally written for tho "Imperial Weekly Digest," published by tho aforesaid company. Tho Filipino Pick artist is a won der. As is well known a large force of them aro making tho oxcavatlons for tho new passenger station of the In? tcrnatlonal Aerial Navigation Com pany at the corner of Tillman Avenue and Talbert Boulevard. About three o'clock yesterday afternoon one of these skilled artisans unearthod a ou rlous shaped thing, mado of an an cient substance called "iron." This discovery by tho Filipino occasioned very little interest, except to the stu dents of the McSwooney Institute of Ancient History, ospocially to those in the department of Archaeology. Tho learned Professor of tho Chair of In dustrial Freaks mado a visit to the scone oarly af'.er it becamo known? and the news soon spread over the Voiceless-Wireless Telephone?, and upon being Interviewed by a Reportor for The Digest ho stated a* hl9 opin ion that this "thing" wps what was known in the year 1902 as a railroad engine, and that it, must have belonged to tho old Charleston and Wostern Carolina Rail Road, but this is denied by some as being mere speculation. Tho prevalent opinion is that this engine was usod to haul the party of men callinsr themselves political Cam paigners, which we are told by the his torian Hilly Bozozo, of the Coco-Co'a age, was an aggregation of office seek ers, peregrinating tho old common wealth of South Carolina, chasing the sovereign voter, in order that thoy might land in odico and handle tho ribbons of government. This engine broke down doubtless while being used in this busluess. His Dignity, the Professor, after venturing tho above statement, then dissertated at length on the political transformation of this country. He is of the opinion that tho establishment of our present form of government, which is monarchlal, was duo to the Trust, which he says was a combination of men effected for the betterment of the masses. The learned professor consontcd to furnish us with an article for our next issue on the "Tho People of Laurens In 1902." He has made a study of this subject and no doubt it will be Interestingly treatod. It is a well known fact that our an cestors who lived in this Principality, which was formerly the town of Lau rens, and curiously laid off around a square, were a very peculiar people. Their transportation facilities, be it remembered that they lived in tho Steam Ago, were s*rango creations to we moderns. And the peaceful reign of our beloved Prince Benjamin VI. who is the present head of tho House of Tillmanory, and whose full name is Talbert - Benjamin - Timmerman - Hey anwardse), Is a striking contrast to tho disorderly times in South Carolina in the early part of this century, before this burg was made the principality of Laurentiark. It is known that the people In that day wore very patient and very thrifty, and that all pract ical politicians had to be patented, and that nono of them carried pistols longer than 21 inches and weighing less than :$ pounds. Politicians were regular human boings though it is hard to believe it in this age of Roy alty. And in the year of 1902 there wero two parties?the * Ins" and the "Outs" that is, thoso who were in of fllce and thosa who wero out of office. It Is said that they sometimes fought with their fists, tho' more often with words. That they were an ingenious set is beyond dispute. That they were in politics, wns for tho roa?on that tboro was money in it. Monoy then wa3 a metallic sub stance, round in shape, white In color, called in one sense "fllthy lucre" nnd in another "the dollar", and stamped by tho government with the head of a maid who dro?sod her hair with leaves. This was only on ono side. On the roversesldo was a picture of an animal, 'ong sinoe oxtlnct, called tho American Eagle, which was an expansionlng beast, and because of whoso rapactous noss, wo aro to-day indebted for the presence in our community of the above mrntipqed Filipino artisan. It Is thought lhat this money talked, but It is nor. known In what language, but certain it is that some of it used the megaphone, not the telephone of 1002. This was tho moving factor in politics in those times, and is it not strange contrast with our Pater nalism??wo draw just what we want out of the Royal Exchequer, and when over we please. In tho mattor of transportation facilities we are some what in advance of our ancestors of 1902. We can go to the Empire of OHntoniana either via tho Pneumatic Subway, or tho International Aerial Automobile, whereas in that olden time peoplo had to make tho trip of nine miles via the dirt road, tho rail road or the Kloctrio road. This brings us round again to tho new passenger station of the Aerial Company. Tnjj? structure will be five hundred feet tall, two hundred wide, and three hundred foet long, ft will contain twooy-five stories tho uppermost one to bo used for the accomodation of Laurentiark Clintoniana freight and paesongoF trallic. Ir, will bo built by the use of Liquid Air nnd tho Filipino artisan within ten months. It will take this great length of time because it is de eirod to embellish the interior with fac-amiles of the horse, the railroad engine, tho electric car, the Temple of Justice, and the patented politician, making it a kind of Hall of Fame of human curiosities, historical accidents, and industrial freak?, as well as a monumcn'. to our ancestors who lived la old Laurens In the period of hor Lethargy, 190:', NEED MOUE HELP.

When this tube Is inflamed you havo a rumb ling sound or Imperfect hearing, and whon It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation oan bo taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ton are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condidltou of the mucous surfaces.
