A bull or boar market has nothing to do with the selection of tho wheat from which Bransford's "Clifton" Hour i3 mado. It requires the best wheat to keep the flour up to its stand ard, and it is bought regardless of the price. The reputation of "Clifton" Hour has been gained by fi'toen years of uniform excellence. T.

TISER and the News and Courier thus cost $1.60 a year. The News and Cou r!er except through THE Advertiser costs |1.00 a year. First Cost Not tho Cheapest. The iirst cost of an article does not necessarily determine its choapness. For instance, a sack of "Clifton" flour may cost you a little more, than other so-called patent flourr, but It will bo cheaper to you in the end. Why? Be cause it will not only make more bread to the sack, but take less lard and soda to mako it. Order a sack of "Clifton" and make a test for yourself. It will prove the tru'bi of this statement. T. N. Barksdale, M. H. Fowlor. MADE YOUNG AGAIN. "Ono of Dr. King's New Life Pills each night for two weeks has put me in my 'teens' again" writes D. H. Tur ner of Dempseytown, Pa. They're the best in the world for Liver, Stomach and Dowels. Purely vegetable. Novor grip?. Only 25 cents at Laurens Drug Co. and W. W. Dodson. There's No Particular Secret About making flour and yet given the same mill, same machinery and same wheat, no two millers will make flour exactly alike. Besides the techi nal skill there's a "knack" in makiog flour and Bransford's miller has it to an exceptional degree. That's one rea son why "Clifton" proves 80 distress ingly popular that wherever it is sold, compolitor,s are obliged to recognize it as a stardard and olTer their flour as "just as good." T. N.

Tno Piedmont Savings and Invest ment Company will enable you to do this. Instead of Paying Rent for years and owning nothing at the end of the term the property Is yours, Meanwhile, you have had the home from the first--with the motive to im* prove it. Owning one's home does more to mako an independent man than any thing else. ?' A man with little or no property finds it hard to borrow and build. Kuoh men this company provides credit for. There aro hundreds of working men in this town paying rent on houses that are not cosy and comforta bio, they have no conveniences, that are not kept up and that are not im proving in value. Lot* in Laurens are cheap. These same men, with the rent money they are paying, can all own homes in which they will tako pride and whioh will grow more valuable each year. The I'lodmont Savings and Invest ment Company is not a building and loan association. Why? Because the contract is certain and definite. The borrower knows to a day when bis deSt will be due, Moreover the rate of intorest is lower. W. W. BALL and V. L. COP EL AND AMUNO OUR FRIENDS. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Editoh Advertiser, Sir: Under the above caption in your paper of tho 21st ult., you assure your readers that you "hearti'y" disapprove" of part of the contents of an aiticlo contributed by me and published in your issue of tho 14th ult. 1 presume, from your prefatory remarks tba* the disapproval applies to what you term "strictures on the ludiciary of the State. Reference to the article will show that tho ?'strictures" were not indiscriminate or unqualified and conveyed no relloctlons upon the personal integrity of the .Judges, but merely criticised their methods as public olliclala. In justifica tion of my remarks, I refer to the re cord of tho sessions courts for years pa&t with all of their continuances and other obstructive measures used so successfully by attorneys In bohalf of intluontial defendants. It has becomo a common sayiug among tho people "that a rich man cannot be tried until he chooses." And then, whon bo has everything fixed to his satisfaction, ho goes through tho farce of a trial, such as to k place at Lexington a few davs ago, merely to tjot his legal discharge from a nominal custody. Now if the responsibility for the de lays that operate to defeat justice can he placed elsewhere than on the Judge whose lenioncy causes htm to grant tho dilatory motives, 1 with many othor citl/.ons, shall be glad. Civics. A STARTLING TEST. To save a life, Dr. T. G. Merritt, of No. Meboopany, Pa., made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure.

The de ceased was for several years a consist ent member of New Prospect Baptist Church . As a child she was always kind and affectionate to her father and mother. She was considered a loving Sister and an obedieut daughter. As a student in school sho performed every task assigned her to the best of her ability. To be her teacher or scliool mato was to be her friend. As a Christian sho let her life shine, not forgetting "to pray without erasing." Her last moments were spent in prayer for herself and her loved ones. It was God's will to take her. May it b8 His will to answer her prayers in behalf of those for whom sho to earn estly prayed. A husband and two lit tle children were left. It was hard to say good-bye, but if those who mourn her lo33 live as sho lived, there will come a time when all will b3 woll for we'll never say good-byo in heaven. A Fhiknd. ALL TIRED OUT.
