CROSS HILL 0110WS, VALUES INCREASE. One of the Most Prosperons and Healthful of Piedmont Boath Carolina's Towns. Ckoss Hill, Maroh 8.?Crois HUI Is a delightful little town on the Sea board Air Line Railroad. It is only about nine years old,most of the houses are new, and it therefore, presents a neat appearance. Strangers generali/ are pleased with the town and its people, and it is not uncommon for tbera to express a de sire to live here. A miulster visited the to.vii sora? months ago to assist io a religious meeting, was favorably in; pressed, returned home and m >ved bis family to tho town, whore they now re side. There are three churches and a good school in the p'aeo. Of course no town is a desirable place in which to live, if these iini>ort*ot factors do not receive, their just share of attention. Harris Sprng? aro nearby, from which great quantities of water are druok and ship pod; thereby attesting the people's faith in Its virtues. During the season a good many perrons have boarded in Cross H?i snd visited the Springs daily. As regards health, perhaps no town in the State has a better record. The town has a good farming country to sustain it and it enjoys a good share of business. With the high p ice of cotton, the present year is likely to be the most prosperous in its history to date. The population of the town has in creased about llfty por cent during the lust five years; the property valuation has trebled during that time. Her gln nerles, roller mill and oil mill add greatly to the business of the town. They draw their patronage from a large territory and they are at times throng ed with teams. The hosiery mill is a boon to boys and girls who are out of employment and are willing to work. Thev receive from 00 cents to $1.00 a day for their services. Thirty opera tives aro engaged in the mill and or ders are received faster than they can be filled. The new process of dyeing renders the goods of a better grade thin ever before. Cross Hdl is 15 miles from the town of Laurens and about tho same dis taue i from Clinton and Greenwood. The tendency in our State at present is to demand smaller counties; and this town may soon becom e the head of a new county. A now on9 could be formed out of portions of Newberry and Laurens and each of the three would be larger than some other coun ties of the State. There aro possibili ties for the town which Its inhabitants scarcely realize. Portrait to be Presented. A life size portrait of the late Chief Justico and Governor William D. Simp eon has been painted by tho artist, Ambrose MaoNell of Spartanburg, and will be presented to the Stato by the family of Judgo Simpson to be placed in the supreme court room in the capitol. The portrait is said to be one of striking fidelity. While It is doubtless a pleasure to the members of the Simpson family to present this picture, the people of Liurons county will be under some ob ligations on account of it, for Judgo Simpson was one of the distinguished and beloved sons of tho county whoso lifo will be a bright page in the coun ty's history always. In presenting this picture, h!s family will incidentally thereforo be doing a good service to Laurens County. Mr. Thomas Meadows Dead. Mr. Thomas Meadows died in Clinton Wednesday of pneumonia after an ill ness of ten days. His wife and three children survive. Mr. Meadows had a large circle of kindred and friends wh o deeply mourn his death and much sym pathy is felt for his family. - Laurens Musician in Georgia. Mr. Elmer E. Putnam, son of Mr. W. A. Putnam, of Barksdale*, <has estab lished a musical studio in Valdosta, a thriving city of 8,000 people la South Georgia. Mr. Putnam is an accom plished pianist and is the author of several meritorious musical composi tions. His general muslc.il education is thorough and he is regarded a capa ble teacher. He graduated in Green ville, where he studied under Perrata and other fine instructors. Shears to Sell.. Mr. W. H. Rose, of Cross Anchor, was here last week selling the Hopkins Patent Sheer-Out Shears. These shears are guaranteed not to cramp the hand and not to get loose in tho joint. They are also guaranteed to be made of best steel and do not lose their edge. Mr. Rose will be here again next week. MERCHANTS NEWS.

L. MoPherson, 59 N. Tenth St., Harrisburg, Pa., would sleep bat two or three hoars in the early part of the night, whioh made it very hard for her parents. Her mother conoluded that the child had stomaoh trouble and gave her half of one of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab ]ets,whiob quieted her stomaoh and she slept the whole night through. Two boxes of these tablets have effected a wonderful cure and she la now well and strong. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. WILL BE HANDSOMEST BUILDING IN OOUNTY. The Jhuuliful House of Worship Which the Presbyterians of Clinton Are Erecting. Oue hundred years in tlie future or two hundred for that matter visitors iu the city of Clinton will Hod probably an ivy covered stone church, an object of rare beauty and historic interest. In that far away day it will bo more ric tm osquo than now, standing in a spa cious grove of splendid trese, but the Presbyterian Church of Clln'on, now neariog complotlon, will be as strong and sound as today . This new building is without doubt the handsomest structure in Laurens county. Tho walls and two towers are built of granite and tho massive edifice should last forever, Occupying alone a large lot of several acres, it could hardly by any possibility bo fired from the exterior oven by an incendiary and tho interior is also about as nearly IIro proof as huildlbgs ever are in this part of the country. The interior arrangement Is similar to that of tho First Presbyterinn Church, both as to auditorium and Sunday School room. The seating ca pacity will be about the same, the Lau rens Church being a trille largor. The Clinton church Is a credit to tho town of Clinton, to Laurens county and tho whole State. The Clinton Presby terians havo labored long and faith fully upon it and they havo a building to be proud of. Dr. W. A. Shands, a member of the building eommltteo who has givon the work special attention and supervision, kindly accompanied an Advertiser reporter over it. INFLAM M ATORY RH EUM AT IS M CURED. Wiiliam Shaffer, a brakoman of Den nison, Ohio, was conilned to his bod for sevoral weeks with inflammatory rheumatism. "I usod many remedies," he says. "Finally I sent to McCaw's drug store for a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, at which timo 1 was uux ble to uso hand or foot, and In one week's time was able to go to work as happy as a clam."

Throughout commercial circles for several mouths past this has been an oft repeated question. There are those who arc specially interested in the price of spot cotton ; others in the manufactured goods, and it is to the latter class that we attempt to make reply. There is a marked advance on certain standard makes in heavy Domestics, but the prices have not advauced in proportion to the figures paid for the raw material. Beside the light-weight wool goods just received, we open choice lines in White and Colored Cotton Fabrics, WHITE MER CERIZED WAISTINGS in exclusive designs, dainty colorings in various weaves in printed IyAWNS. On last September wc bought our WHITE INDIA LINONS. These we offer far below present market value. The new lines of Hamburg, Lawn and Swiss Edgings must be seen to be appreciated. They are all open for this week. If you are not ready to purchase, come and inspect them for future consideration. Very respectfully, W. G. WILSON & CO.

Whon carhonatlng a minoral water, if it is a hard water the gases will not bo absorbed in tho water, and when tho bottle is opened, the gas es esonpe, and tho water Is loft lint, and hard, while If it is a soft water, like White Stone Lithia, it will retain its gasos for bourn after being unstopped. Head what somo prominent persons you know have to say of tho merits of the White Stone Lithia Water: Chester, S. C, April 23, 1003. J. T. Harris, Esq., White Stono Spring, S. C. Dear Sir?I do unhesitatingly stato that tho efficacy of WhiteStono Lithia Wator, not from its splendid analytical analysis, but from my own personal ob servation, is a very valuable agent in eliminating the impurltlo3 of tho blood through its markod diuretic effects, and In so doing restores the seoretory and excretory organs of the body to their normal physiological stato. So In this proves Its properties to bo of great value in assisting digestion, assimila tion and Increasing the appotito. There fore wo can recognl/.j it as a minoral wator of powerful tonlo properties and should bo highly recommended in stom ach and liver disorders, blood disturb ances, rheumatism, gout, diabetes, Brlght's disease, and in all inaotlvo conditions of tho kidneys and convalos olng discuses. I feel myself, that I am justly duo an acknowledgement of the happy effects I derived from its uso. B. Klmore Kell, M. D. Mulllns, S. C, April 22, 1003. Mr. J T. Harris. White Stone Springs, S. O. It is with pleasure that I write of the merits of White Stone Lithia Water. I have tevoral patients using it now with marked benefit in kidney and stomach troubles. I have known a uric acid calbulus to pass afnr using tho wator for only threo days. Rospoctfully Yours, A. M. Hrallsford, Jr., M. D. Macon, Ga., April 15, 100?. I have prescribed White Stono Lithia Wator freely in my practice and am glad to repjrt the happy effects It gavo as a diuretic and uric acid solvent. I think its medicinal propertlo3 are pe culiarly adaptable to uric aohl diathe sis, rheumatism, gout, amcmlaand all bladder and kidney diseasos and liver and stomach troublos. I consider It is a mineral wator of marvelous tonic properties. Head wha?. Dr. L. J.

Harris, Proprietor White Stone Spingfl, Spartanburg Co, S. 0. My Doar Sir:?I have used and pre scribed tho White Stono Lithia wator a great deal during tho past two years.
