Citizens Meet and Discuss the Situation. ACTION TAKEN. Committee of Three Prominent Busi ness Men Selected to Confer with Railroad Authorities. At a meeting last Thursday after noon, which was a'tended by members of the City CouncM, the Board of Trade and a sVrong representation of citizens generally, steps looking to the im provement of the pasaengor depot, sit uation as it now exists, were taken. C. H. Roper was chosen Chairman of the meeting and W. L. Taylor, Secretary. On motion of W. L. Gray, a com mittee consisting of T. D. Darling ton, C. fl. Roper and J. C. Owings was selected to represent the city in com municating or conferring with the railroad authorities In regard to the matter. This committee has already procoeded to prosent to Mr. Childs, President of the Columbia, Nowberry & Laurens and Mr. Anderson, General Superintendent, of the Charleston ?fc Western Carolina, Laurens' position. As indicated by the attendance upon this meeting and the general tono of the discussion of the subject Lau rens means business. What is wanted and what will he urged is the removal of the passenger depot to a more con venient location for the traveling pub lic. As it now stands the crossing of the railroad inordor to reach the ticket office and waiting rooms is always at tended with inconvenience and more or less danger. Every oce knows this, the railroads themselves admit it. Now since several new tracks have been put In, the inconvenionce Is Increased and the situation more menacing to the lives of those who have occasion to pass that way. Relief quick and sure is the demand of the hour. Can we get it? The effort will be made. "I have bron troubled for some timo with indigestion and sour stomach," says Mrs. Sarah W. Curtis, of Leo, Mass , "and have been taking Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets which have helped me ve'y much so that now I can eat many things that before I could not " If you have any trouble with your stomach why not take these tablets and get well. For Bile by Laurens Drug Co. __?ivbn to THE SICK ON TRIAL. Mb] _____ _HK~ The Laureus Drag Co 's Uencrous Offer Hyomei Treatment Costs Nothing It Cures Catarrh. Many who aro in need of Hyomei, the treatment that cures catarrh without stomach dosing, have not yet realized its wondeful healing powers. They want everyone who Is troubled with catarrh or catarrhal colds, to get a Hy omei outfit from them with tbe under standing that lc is absolutely free un less it cures catarrh and frees the sys tem from the g ^rms of grippe and in fluenza. The first clay's use of Hy omei will show by Its exhilarating and vitalizing effects, that it is do'.ng wo id. Use It for a full month entirely at The Laurens Drug Co.'s risk. If, at the end of thirty days, you can say that Hyomei has not helped you,they will re turn your money without question or argument. The complete Hyomei treat ment co3ts but one dollar,and consist of an Inhaler that can bo carried in tbe pocket or purse, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. The Inhaler will last a lifetime,' and if one bottle does not cure, extra bottles can be ob tained for fifty cents. It is the most economical of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and tbe only one where you can obtain a month's treatment from your local druggist that costs nothing if it fails to cure. Try Hyomei for a month. It cannot harm you, as it is purely vegetable, and cures catarrh without any stom ach dosing. If it fai's, the loss falls en tirely upon The Laurens Drag Co. On the special occasion of my recout attendance as Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at Nashville, I was taken with a seyero dysentery, accompanied by great pain. Two doses of Dr. King's Dysentery and Diarrhoea Cordial gave me relief and enabled me to be in regular attendance and participate in the leading movements of that body. JOHN W.

It says, "each County Hoa>-d of Education on the first Tuesday of July 1905 and on the first Tuesday In July two years afterward, shall appoint for each school district in their county three school trustees from tho qualified doctors and taxpay ers residing in the district," etc. As you know, the law read 189(> ins'ead 1005; so in appointing trustees this year, allow mo to suggest that you com mission them for one year so as to be ready for tho bow law next yoar.
