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.

WAKEFUL CHILDREN.
For a lo?s time tfc# two year old
child of Mr. P. 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.

Dear Sir.- If it took 10 gallons to
paint your house last time with some
body's else's paint, and takes 8 with Do
voe, we save you $8 or $10: for painting
routs two or throe times as much as

Mr. Ezra Rathmell, Williamsport,
Pa , always u*ed 11 gallons of mixed
paint for his house ; Ddvo^i took ?5.
But that isn't all; that's only ilrst
cost; how long will it wear?
The paint, that goo* furthest in cov

All paint, true paint, and full-meas

"After my first baby was bor? I did not
seem to regain my strength although the
doctor gave me a tonic which he consid
ered very superior, but Instead of getting
better I grew weaker every day. My hus
band insisted that I take wine of Cardui
for a week nnd see what it would do for
me. I did take the medicine and was very
grateful to find my strength and health
slowly returning. In two weeks I was out
of hed and in a month I was able to take
up my usual duties. I am very enthush
astic in Its praise."
Wine of Cardui reinforces tho organs
of gonoration for the ordeal of preg
nancy ami childbirth. It prevents mis
carriage, No woman who takes Wine
of Cardui need fear the coming of her
child. If Mrs. Unrath hacl taken
Wine of Cardui before her babycamo

HOW IS THE COTTON MARKET?
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,

PhyisciarVs Endorsement
Is the lightest water on the market. We roalizo that this Is claiming a great
doal, and we could not afford to make this assertion unless we know that wo
could prove, it to bo true. Hut it does not take an oxport to test the softness of
a Mineral Water. 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:

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.

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.
