ROYAL DAKINQ POWDER CO., NEW YORK, IRBY LOTS TO BE SOLD TOMORROW. Ad Uncommonly Flno Opportunity Of fered to Investors?A Good Time to Obtain a Home. The sale of the Irby lots on South Harper, Academy, Chestnut and Man ning streets and Irby and '"odd avenues will take place at 11 A. M. tomorrow in front of the court house. This is the handsomest piece of prop erty ever offered in lots at public sale in Laurens. Last week an Advertis er man rode over this property in com pany with a real estate man. A care ful examination of the property will surprise oven a Laurens man, generally familiar with the property, as to its value. While some of the lots are bet ter than others, The Advertiser risks the assertion that a purchaser cannot f tiI, even though ho buy with out seeing tho property, to obtain a good lot. Of the 65 lots, there are two that are not paralellograms. They lie at the north western corner, on Acad emy and Ohotnutstreo's. There is not a single lot that is not roady for the placing of a house- requiring no expen diture for filling gullies. There is not a gully on the place. Most of tho lots have beautiful trees. The only interest that The Adver tiser has in this sale is that it would like to see the town show an apprecia tion of Laurens properties. The build ing up and developement of the city would help the whole community. The success of this aale will lead to others similar In future and eaoh and every one will mean the improvement <>f Lau rens. Be sure therefore to inform yourself as to these properies and be on hand promptly tomorrow at tho sale. It should be s'ated that the new streets, Irby Avenue and South, North and East Manning streets, have already been opened. These lots should be specially at tractive to peopla who now live in the country and who have some idea of coming to town in future. Persons d??iring the school advantages of tho town can obtain homes at this time at lower cost than ever again perhaps. The school law is that persons who are taxpayers in this district may send their children to the city schools with out paying tult'on, even if they no not live in the district. Thus one may by owning a lot send half a dozen children to the Laurens schools free without moving to town. CLIMATIC CURES. The influence of climatic conditions in the cure of consumption is very mueh overdrawn. The poor patient, and the rich patient, too, oan do much better at home by proper attention to food diges tion, and a regular use of German Sy rup. Free expectoration in the morn ing is made certain by German Syrup, so is a good night's rtst and the ab sence of that weakening cough ard de bilitating night sweat Restless nights and the exhaustion due to coughing, the greatest danger and dread of tho consumptive, can be prevente 1 or stopped by taking German Kymp lib erally and* regularly. Should you be able to go to a warmer ell mo, you will nod that of the thousands of consump tives there, the few who are benefited and regain strength are those who use German Syrup.

We realize that this is claiming a great deal, and we could not ait'ord to make this assertion unless wo knew that we could prove it to bo true. But it does not take an expert to test the toftness of u Mineral Water. Whon carbonating a mineral water, if it is a hard water the gases will not bo absorbed in tho wat-u*, and when the bottlo is opened, the gas es escape, and the water is left Hat and hard, while if it is a soft water, like White Stono Lithia, it will retain its gases for hours after being unstopped. Read what some prominent persons you know nave to say of tho merits of the Whlto Stone Lithia Water: Chester, S. C, April 23, 1903. J. T. Harris, Esq., White Stono Spring, S. C. Dear Sir?I do unhesitatingly state that tho efficacy of Whlto Stono Lithia Water, not from Its splendid analytical analysis, but from my own personal ob servation, is a very valuable agent in eliminating the impurities of the blood through its marked diuretic effects, and in so doing restores the secretory and excretory organs of tho body to tlieir normal physiological state. So in this proves i's properties to he of great value in assisting digestion, assimila tion and increasing the appetite. There fore wo can recognize it as a mineral water of powerful tonic properties and should no highly recommended in stom ach and liver disorders, blood disturb ances, rheumatism, gout, diabetes, Brisrht's disease and in ?11 inactive conditions of tho kidneys and convales cing diseases. I feel myself, that I am justly duo an acknowledgement of tho happy effects I derived from its use. B. Elmoke Kell, m. d. Mr Mulllns, S. C, April 22, 1903. J T. Harris. White Stone Springs, S. C. It is with pleasure that T write of the morits of White Stone Lithia Water. I have several patients vising it now with markt d bonollt in kidnoy and stomach troubles. I havo known a uric acid oalbulus to pass after using tho water for only threo days. Respectfully Yours, A. M. Brailsford, Jr., M. D. Macon, Ga., April 15, 1903. I have prescribed White Stone Lithia Water freely in my praotioe*and am glad to report tho happy effects It gave as a diuretic and uric acid solvent. I think its modicinal properties are pe culiarly adaptable to uric acid diathe sis, rheumatism, gout, anosmia and all bladder and kidney diseases and liver and stomach troubles.
