Tho people of tho isthmus of Darien or Panama havo seceded from Colom bia and set up a republic. They will at once sell the rights to the United States to build the Panama Canal aud it will bo built. This seems certain. In a few short years the Atlantic aud Paoiflo oceans will be connected and ..the commerce of the world will be re volutionized, under the direction and control of the United Stales. It is widoly b3llovod that after the Colombian government refused to ratify what Is known as the Hay-Her rau canal treaty the Uuitod States gov ernment conspired with the paoplo of Panama for the secession which has lately followed. No ono will say that the Panama crowd wouid havodreamod of secession oxcopt for Its rolianco for protection and recognition by the gov ernment at Washington. This protec tion and reoognlt'on havo already been substantially given. That the Washington govornment whloh coorced the Confederate states when they exorcised their right to se cede has connived at secession by a part of another government is a settled fact. This is merely another illustra tion of tho old, old truth that In tho re lations between governments, good morals, good faith, consistency and sentiment aro not as a rule regarded. It would have been more to tho beno - lit of the South if tho Nictrauga route, advocated by Sen\tor Morgan for thirty or forty years, hid been selected. It will, bowover, benefit the South greatly to havo the Panama canal a reality. It is possible that tho Democratic minority in congress will oadeavj? to make capital out of tho conduct of tho Republican administration in recogniz ing the new Panama republic. Wo fear that the endeavor will fall. Fra'1 hu manity judges by results. Succass, in tho present stage of civilization, is the supremo test of virtue. The Republi can party is in the saddle If tho ex isting situation develops into the prompt construction of tho canal, the methods and morals, or immorals, lead ing to that event will soon be forgot ten. The Democratic party will pro bably gain nothing whether or not It opposes the Republican policy. The op portunity is one which belongs to the majority party. The minority is help loss. Had tho Democratic party given ear to John T. Morgan, a Southern states men, who has lived and thought 25 years ahead of his associates who has towcrod ovor southern men in congress as an oak dwarfs a dogwood, the Nie uraugaAanal would probably have been built and opened some years ago. Meanwhile tho Democratic party has had a good time chasing free silver and other creatures of nonsense for the past seven years. "On with the dance, let joy be un confined!" it Mnking Fine Furniture. A Charleston man who was recently preparing to furnish a new residence consulted ono of the leading furniture dealers of that city. After inspecting with him catalogues of several celebrat ed factories of Grand Rapids and other places the dealer said: "Lot me show you the equal of the best in these cata logues mado here in South Carolina." Ho then exhibited a suit from tho Lau rens Furniture Company and the gen tleman, who told tho writer of the in cident, found that what the dealer said was strictly true. Our own people aro scarcely aware of tho high class of goods made by their home factory. President Aiken and Superintendent Bruening, both first rato men in their positions, are rapidly bringing this factory to the front in tho furniture trade and it is ap parently a matter of only a few months before it will have a reputation second to none in the country. Alroady its output is in demand wherever It is known and it is becoming better known each day. ' Laurens is well known as a cen ter for fine toxtile manufacturing in the South. The prom he is that some day it will have a similar repute in the furniture industry. * McMastcr and Moonshine. The editorial statement below is taken from Mr. R. R. HemphilPs Ab beville Medium: "An item has appeared In various newspapers to the effect that a .man in Vormont 1ms the largest applo orchard In the world. It contains 4500 trees aud this yoar's crop has alroady been sold for $1500. "This apple orchard is not in it, for Fitz MoMas'er, business manager of The Stato, has an apple orchard on his place in the mountains known as Zir con a containing 47000 trees. This is no newspaper yarn for the information oamo from the owner himself. The trees are growing finely but are not old enough yet to bear fruit." The only amazing feature of this story is that McMaster told on him self. Ho has been stealing away to "Zircon a" at intervals of a few weeks for seVoral yca>s, saying that "he needed rest" and that "his health was breaking down" but those who knew of his desperate animosity to the dis pensary law suspected that he was fighting it from the North Carolina side. It is strange that none of his ap plejack wagons has ever been sen.*, by way of Laurens. It was not like tho generous nature of the man to negleot his friends. Wonder how many apple jack wagons he is running anyhow? * Our New DIsoovory is sold by W. W. Dodson, Laurens Drug Co. and Youngs' Pharmacy under an absolute guar antee. Price tl.OG. B?arp the 11,9 Kind You Haw Alwajs Bought DIALS IS READY FOR HOO AND HOMINY. "Uncle Franklin" Curry, the Patriarch of the Township, Is In no Better Health?Other News. Dials, Nov. 7.~Thl8 morning is a "reminder" that hog and hominy is close at hand and if it will only romain cool for a few more days thore is no doubt but what many hogs will be slaughtered In the next week. The recent frost is thought to bavo out the cotton crop olf a great deal. Mr. D. D. Harris, one of Dials' most promi nent and successful formers, was heard to say a day or so ago that he knew he had lost at least ten bales on account of the frost. In spite of rain and mud your cor respondent and a great many others from this section took in the Barnum & Bailey's circus in Greenville. Uncle Frank Ourry who was reported being critically ill sometime ago, we arc forry to say is no better. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moore visited friends and relatives in Laurons City last week. Mr. Robert L. Henderson and sons have returned from an extended visit to Columbia. Mr. J. W.

Capt. J. A. Balontine Is making pre parations to build an addition to his dwelling. Mr. Brooks Sullivan and Superin tendent O. F. Brooks were here last Sunday. FROM SOUTH AFRICA. NEW WAY OF USING CHAMBER LAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As a proof that Chamberlain^ Cough Romedy is a cure suitable for old and young, I psn you the following: A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give lt. I suggested that if they would got a bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and put some up on the dummy teat the baby was suck ing it would no doubt ouro the ohild. This tiny did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy is for sale by Laurons Drug Co._ MADE YOUNG AGAIN.

Wo realize that this is claiming a groa deal, and we could not afford to make this assertion unless wo know that we could prove, it to bo true. But it does not tako an expert to test the softness of a Mineral Water. When carbonating a mineral water, if it is a hard water the gases will not bo absorbed in the wat9r, and when the bottle is opened, the gas es escape, and the water is left tlat and hard, while if it is a soft water, like White Stone Lithia, it will retain its gases for hours after being unstopped. Head what somo prominent persona you know have to say of the merits of the White Stono Lithia Water: Laurens, S. C, Sept. 10th, 1902. J. T. Harris, Eari., White Stono Sprin?, S. C. Dear Sir:?I am using White Stone Lithia Spring's Water, and am very much ploascd with results. I think it the best I havo used. Yours very respectfully, O. B. Simmons. Laurent, S . a, Sept. 12th, H>02. Mr. J T. Harris, Whito Stone Spring?, S. 0. Doar Sir: ?I tako pleasure in saying that my family rocoivod groat benefit from tho use of White Stone Lithia Water. I can heartily recommend it to any one in need of a healthful Mineral Water. Very truly, J. O. O. Fleming. Greenville, S. 0., Oct. 10, i!)02, After a service of one soason at White Stone Lithia Spring?, a3 resi dent physician 1 do not hesitate to ?ay that the effect of the water upon those who drink it for any length of time, has boon perfectly marvelous. Invari ably an increase both in tlosh and ap petite was perceptible in one week, proving it to bo a mineral v/ator of undoubted powerful tonic property. Its peculiar adaptability to diseases origi nating from disorders of the kidney, bladder ami liver, such as Dropsy, Height 's diseases,Diabetes and uric acid Oalotlll, and all forms of Dyspopsla, Rhen mails in and Gout is to be ex pected from the splondid analysis. It has boon noted frequently that visi tors before coming here had to follow every meai with somo form of correc tive, or confine themselves entirely to predigosted foods; soon discard Umso entirely, being delighted to find that tho water alone -nature's oMn remedy sufficed, Of iiic iimnj who drink this water this season for ton days consecu tively,not one but experienced decided benefit and a percoptiblc gain in wcigt, varying from two to five pounds.
