NONE WAS HURT VERY SERIOUSLY. Storm Endangered1 Hycs at Wares Shoals. GOOD HOUSE KILLED. Progress of the Factory Work. ? ? *. Tho Bridge Across "urkoy Creek Com pletsd?The t?uccmful Jones High School. Wakes Shoals, Feb. 21.--The big storm struck this place with considera ble force Monday afternoon. No lives wero lost, but several were endangered. Mr. T. J. Snyder was at his place of business and was caught up by tbe vio lent winds and carried several yards, narrowly reaping being blown into the river by grasping a bush. The prop erly damaged though not very great was very general, almost every home needed some repairs. On the farm of Mr?. E. O. Mltohell a new barn was blown down and literally torn to pieces. Mr. Wm, Wood had a good horse killed by its fall. ' Progress on a'l lines of work has been greatly retarded by the contin uous i uric money of tho weather, but whon the sun shines it will always find our ? workmen at their posts anxious to resume their labors. The railroad has been surveyed and the projectors hope to soon have it un dor construction. A small school has been opened at this place. Miss Maud Chandler is tbe teacher. A Sabbath School was organized on last Sabbatb. with Mr. J. T. Taylor as Superintendent. Tho attendance was good and there ore encouraging pros pects for some successful work. A prayer-meeting was organized by the Christian workers of this commu nity several weeks ago and is increas ing in numbers and in interest. An appropriate house of worship is much needed and as other necessities are so readily bestowed on us, so wo trust, this may bo also. The Jones High Sohool, which many of our children attend, is progressing nicely uuder the supervision of Miss Meta Sullivan. A literary society was organized laot Friday night for the benefit of the school and was attended by somo of the young men and ladies from Wares Shoals. The bridge across Turkey Creek Is finished. The temporary bridge across Saluda is uader construction. M, E. C. SENT LANHAM A FLAU. Handsome Act by Handsome Uoyernor of South Carolina.

Lard is not only oxpensivo but injur ious to the health when usod in liberal quantities To make tho so-called cheap patent lloure white enough, the life is all ground out of the flour; thon it is necessary to load It up with lard to make It work. This accounts largely for your heavy biscuits and rolls and digostlon. It takes less than one-half the lard to work "Cflfton" that it does the cheap patents, so you not only save more than the difference, but get a more healthful and nutritious food product. Health and economy dictate the use of "Clifton." Sold by M. n. Fowler and T. N. Barksdale. A. JACK JONES IS DEAD. Well Known tireenviilo Man?A Na tive of Laurens. The news has been received with much regret by his friends and ac quaintances bore that Mr. A. J. Jones, of tho Greenville Clothing and Shoe Company, had passed away from bron chial and kidney trouble. He has been In failing health for quite a while, and for several weeks has been kept from his place of business by reason of thisl fact, but bis death was unexpected even [ by his noarost friends. Mr. Jones was 88 years of age, a na tive of Laurens County, tbe son of Ben Jones, and grandson of Gen. A. C. Jones, for many years a prominent and influential citizen of Laurens, who was well known throughout tho State. He married Miss Susan L. Garrison, who survives h:m with three children. He left two brothers and one sister,namely, A. C. Jones of Newberry, W. T. Jones, of Atlanta, and Miss Iula Jones, of | Walhalla. He was a member of Re covery Lodge, No. 31, A. F. M., and also a membor of the Second Presby terian Church. His life was In3iired for $2,600. Mr. Jones was one of tho most popu lar salesmen that ever lived in Green ville, and in whatever line of business he was engaged he was invariably pa tronized by a host of friends. Ills gen ial manners and pleasant disposition, added to the thorough knowledge of the quality of goods', made him a prime favorite with customers. His business qualifications were such as to make him in demand, and for several years he was a successful commercial trav eler. Letter to W. Bess Franks. Laurens, S. 0. Dear Sir: We hear you're doing a good business, and we know already, without your telling us, that you use good paint and do good work. We've got a big business toe?been at it 149 years?making good paint, best paint in the world, Devoe Lead and Zino. "Fewer gallons and wears longer"? that's the reason m short.lt takes fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc than of mixed paints to oover a house, and it wears longer than lead and-oil or any mixed paints. Sml'h & Wilbur, Cambridge Springs, Pa., writes. Oce of ourpaioter8 says Devoe is the paiot for a painter to use when taking work by tbe job, as it goes farther and covers better than any paint he ever ueed. Hore's the experience everybody has with it. Tho dealer who sells Devoe gets the bulk of the paint business of his town. The painter who paints De voe gets tbe painting of his town. ^ Yours truly, F.

An Innovation That Should Prove of Great Taluo to Residents Along the Bootes. Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden has Issued a manuel of In struction? for the oonduot of registry business in the rural free delivery sor vlce. The most Impor taut innovation pro vides for the registration of letters and parcels left In the rural mailboxes, (he carrier loavlng the sender's receipt in the box. Formerly it was necessary for the sender to meet the carrier ou the route. Rural carriers are also required to accept for registration mall matter properly prepared and offered by one that meets them while on duty wheth er a patron of the rural free service or not. Storo keepers on rural routes cus tomarlly receive the mall matter of their patronB, dollvertng it to them at the first opportunity. Registered mall has not been delivered in this manner In the past, but it is now provided that on the written order which the ad dresseseess are required to leave for de livery of their mail to the storekeeper, registered malt will be delivered, ex cept such as is endorsed bv the send ers '-Deliver to addressee only." MET IN CROSS HILL. The County Teachers Association?The Interesting Topics Discussed. Tho Laurens County Teaohers' As sociation met in the school building at Cross Hill, Saturday, Feb. 14, 1903. In abaence of the President, W. P. Cul bertson was made President pro tern. The following program was executed to the interest, and we trust to the pro fit, of those present: First. Some methods of teaching spelling. Second: How best to enlist the Inter est of patrons In school work. Third: Vertical writing versus tho slant system. Fourth: Some methods of teaching history. All of these subjects were fully dis cussed by several of the teachers pres ent. Among the number were: Job Yeargln, Mrs. L. S. McSwaln, Miss Josle McSwaln, Miss Bessie Hudgens, Miss Myrtie Culbertson, Miss Annie Clardy, W. P. Culbertson and others. Several methods of teaching spelling were presented, all good, some better, and each one the result of some thought ful experience. As to the second ques tion the sentiment seemed to prevail that the patronB of our schools have not the work of educating their chil dren at heart as they should have it; that one probable reason for this is the neglect to cultivate proper social rela tions and mutual sympathy between teachers and patrons. It was urged that teachers should visit the homes of the patrons at least onoe during each seaslon, and that patrons should visit the school frequently. In regard to writing, the bulk of the argument was in favor of the vertical system. Some worthy meebod? ??* teaching history were presented and should receive the benefit of a fair test. Several outside the teaching profes sion were present,?some of whom took an active part in the proceeding*. While for different reasons the attend ance was not very large the meeting was pleasant and fruitful. Cross Hill has recently enlarged and otherwise improved her school build ing and to her teaching force a second assistant has been added. With im proved facilities Mr. Yeargln and his co-'nborers are doing a good work. W. P. C. MYSTERIOUS CIROUMSTANCE. One was pale and sallow and the other fresh and rosy. Whence the dif ference?

Advertising is offered free. The Advertiser offers it. For any subscriber who is paid up, Tu p. Advertiser will print, one time, an advertisement of not more than 25 words without any charge whatever. For each word over 26, the oharge will be one cent each time the adver tisement appears. Thus The Advertiser is again of fering something new. What Is tho object? What will The Advertiser make by It? Well, The Advertiser is not pub lished for "its health," as the saying is. Here is the scheme: Peoplo in Lau rens do not Indulge in transient or short ad?. This business is not what it should be. The Advertiser behoves that if the people could once learn that an adver tisement of a oow for sale, or a poi i tlon wanted, or wood for sale, or chick ens or eggs, butter, milk, cotton seed, peas, hay, and a hundred other things, will pay, they would advertise more. Hence these free ads. are offered for a short time only, with the aim of get ting business. Remember that a free ad. will go lo but once for the same subscriber. If he wants it for a second time, the price will be one cent a word and not less than 26 words. * If you have anything to sell, a plan tation, a cow. a dog, if you want any thing from a railroad down to a three dollar mule, try an advertisement?not over 25 words?in Thb Advertiser, free. The aim is to show the people that this sort oi advertising pays. This of fer will bo withdrawn after a few weeks. It is only an experiment, it is only made to paid-up subscribers. k. . '' ' ?
