Tho Farmers From Wh m The Adver
tlser Has Heard Express
Satisfaction.
From what Thk Advertiser has
been able to learn, tho Florodo a cot
ton should bring about three cents the
pound more than the ordinary long
staple. It should bring at least two
cents more, and possibly tho difference
would bo more than three cents.
II. W. Frost & Co., of Charleston, is a
reliable house which handles these
long staples. The Advertiser be
lieves that any of this cotton shipped to
them will be sold to advantage and
that the customers will receive satis
faction. Of course it may be that as
good a price may be had from local
buyers. This house in Charleston has
been mentioned to The Advertiser
as one dealing In such staples and the
recommendation comes from good peo
ple who have hed dealings with them.
Messrs. George Dorroh, of Gray
Court, acd James T. Crew's, of Laurens,
are farmors who have found the Floro
dora satisfactory. Mr. Dorroh found
that the yield was as good with the
sjtno cultivation as the phort staple
grown near by, and Mr. Crews' expe
rience was similar. Tho latter says that
the i^lorodora yield was larger,
A good deal of this cotton will be
plan'ed this year.

WHAT THE NATION
* SPENT LAST YEAR.
Over Six Hundred Million Dollars
Pensions by Far Made the
Largest Item.
The expenditures of itle United
States for the fiscal year which ended
June 80, 1008, are thus tabulated by tho
Secretary of the Treasury:
Civil and miscellaneous, $124,044,289.74
War,. 118,610,520.15
Navy,. 82,618.034.18
Indians,. 12,935,108.08
Pension?, . 138,425,646.07
Interest,. 28,556,848.82
Postal Service,. 134,224,448.24
Total. $640,323,450.28
The payments for pensions continue
to be the greatest single expense of the
Government. Pensions cost about
fifty-six millions more than the navy,
about twenty millions more than the
army, about as much as the postal ser
vice, after adding the deficiency in tho
postal revenue to the $134,000,000.
A VERY CLOSE CALL.
"I stuck to my engine, although
every joint ached and every nerve was
racked with pain." writes C. W. Bell
amy, a locomotive fireman, of Burling
ton, Iowa. "I was weak and pale, with
out appetite and all run down. As I
was about to give up, I got a bottlo of
Eleotric Bitters, and after taking it, I
felt as well as I ever did in my life."
Weak, sickly, run down people always
gain new life, strength and vigor from
their use. Try them. Satisfaction
guaranteed by Laurens Drug Co. and

SHOT HIS ENEMY
IN THE STREETS.
Shameful Affair in Colum
bia (ity.
FIRED RECKLESSLY.
An Unarmed Man Was
Wounded.
Tho Porson Who Endangered Ihe Lives
of Innocent People Ought to
be Severely Dealt With.
Columbia, Jan. 8.?Two whllo paint
ers named Bradshaw and Howell had a
ono sided street duel at tho corner of
Main and Laurel streets this afternoon.
There has been a foud b3tween the
two men for some timo and Rowell
claims that Bradshaw threatened his
life. Meeting him on the street at an
early hour when it was crowded, Ro
well pulled his pistol and lirrd ocklessly
at Bradshaw. One bullet went wide of
Its mark but the second struck Brad
shaw in the shoulder, who fell to the
ground. Rowell met a policeman just
after the shooting and gave himself
up, while Bradshaw was taken to the
hospital.
The bullet lodged in tho body, but
the surgeon* do not think the wound
will prove fatal. Both men are said to
have come here from Charleston.
CONGRATULATIONS.
Mr. John H. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu
facturers of Chamborlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: "Slxtoen years ago
when our first child was a baby he was
subject to croupy spells and we would
be very uneasy about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy In
1887, and finding it such a reliable
remedy for colds and croup, we have
never been without it lu the houso
since that time. We have five chil
dren and have given it to all of them
with good results. One good feature
of this remedy is that it is not disa
greeable to take and our babies really
like it. Another is that it Is not dan
gerous and there Is no risk from giving
an overdose. I congratulate you upon
the success of your remedy. For sale
