LAURENS, S. C, Jaly 0, 1904.
Has It a Right To LItcI
The oltl/.ens who are seeking tho of
fice of railroad commissioner may find
ono issue that should interest tho peo
ple. Wo think the people would like
to know; not why this man or that man
should bo elocted, reflected or de
feated; but why the whole commission
should not bo wiped off the face of the
oarth. The gentlemen who hold mem
bership on this board aro extraordin
arily nice gentlemen and wo wish them
personally the bountiful fruits of the
oarth, but we doubt if the 8outh Caro
lina railroad commission is achieving
any marvols of good to the State or the
railroads.
This suspicion is based on the utter
ances incidental to railroad campaigns.
Every two years seekers for the ofllce
hoi i1 allege that the incumbents have
been failures and they generally prove
their case to tho satisfaction of the
voter*. At any rate tho Incumbents
are as a rule dofeatod. and this rule has
hold good for some ten years Mean
while tho newly promoted raroly de
monstrate their superior efficiencies.
Thus the people have naturally con
cluded that these jobs aro soft snaps to
be distributed among good fellows.
The common impression Is that the
commissioners, being paid by the rail
roads, aro more pensioners. Tho only
question to decide is whether this or
that candidate has the broadest smile
or the most cordial handshake. The
Inference is that either the commission
should be demolished outright or olee
it should be ?otbed with legislative
powors that will make it of somo slight
value. Tho first candidate who under
present conditions is able to establish
the right of the office to exist will de
serve to bd elected to it. So far the
history of the commission leaves the
burden of tho proof upon the commis
sioners.
The Advkrtiser wishes that the
next general assembly would either
destroy the commission or else pass
a law that will create one of some sub
stantial usefulness. Meinbora of the
railroad commission should be paid by
the Stato and thoy should be men of
the highest business ability, experience
and training.

An Industry Worth Promoting.
Cattle raising In the "Piedmont" is
an industry In the embryo state, and
butter is practically the only milk pro
duct that i3 offered for sale and that
only in the local markets.
Some few cheese factories, (notably
one at Union, S. C.,) havo been estab
lished and aro In successful operation.
As previously noted by Thk Adver
tiser, Prof. Splllman, in a talk before
the Laurens County Farmers Institute
last summer, stated that he believed
that cattle could be raised as cheaply
here as anywhere in the West, and
every farmer who has had any exper
ience with bermuda grass, will readily
co-incide with his views. Bormuda is
one of tho terrors of the cotton farmer,
but needlessly so. A iie'.d set in ber
muda can bo sown in small grain, fol
lowed by peas and easily cultivated in
cotton the following year.
The Advkrtiser hopes to see in a
very few years every farm in Liu
rens County with good bermuda pas
turage, stocked with a good herd of
combination beof and dairy cattle,
and in successful operation, at least
two cheese factories. We can then
have g>od beef to oat at homo
and can get a good price for what wo
sell in other markets. When tho farm
er finds that his cattle is a success, he
can then onlargo his pasturage, increase
bis herd, establish a creamery, and the
markets of tho world are already wait
ing for the product. In the meantime
the surplus could have been fed to
calves and pigs to Immense advantage.

Aberration or Independence!
The Spartanburg Journal appears to
believe that if the Democrats fail to
nominate a man like Hearst the coun>
try will do woll to elect a man like
Roosevelt. The Journal claims to be
the only "independent" newspaper in
South Carolina. No one will deny its
independence for the moment at any
rate. For a South Carolina newspaper
to toss bouquets at Roosevelt is more
than independence,?It Is heroism, it is
Richmond ? Pearson?Hobsonism, it
has the glory and the glamour and des
peration of a pirate king sailing the
Kpunish Main under the black flag.
Bully for tho Journal?but let us In our
brotherly and tonder way commend to
it Bobblo Burns:
"To catch Dame Fortune's golden
smile,
Assiduous wait upon her
And gather gear by every wilo,
That's justified by honor,?
Not for to bide it in a hbdge
Nor for a irain attendant
But for the glorious privilege
Of being independent."
In the Journal's office wo suspect
that there's a heart-breaking race be
tween two gallant stcods. The one
called "independence," in colors of
shimmering white has the proudest
arch to bis neck and we spectators are
shouting lustily for him but that gaunt
old scrub "Gear-Gatherer" is still the
primo favorite in the betting ring.
A Card of Thanks.
To The /. ^vkrtiskr;
Fleaso allow mo space to thank
iny neighbors and friends for thoir
thoughtful kindness to me since my
house, and premises were burned June
18th. Until this misfortune, I did not
know how kind and good people could
be, and while I cannot in anyway repay
them, it shall be my prayer that God
In his goodness may.

The Chance to Win.
The Democratic National Convention
U now In session in St. Louis, and if it
should nominate a sane, conservative,
old fasboined Democrat, such a man as
Judge Parker, of New York, it will
have a line chance for success in Nov
ember. The Republicans nominated
Roosevelt for the sole roason that they
were afraid that to beat him would be
a confession of failure ou the part of
the present administration. Tho lead
ers did not desire Roofovolt. They
have been disgusted with him. Tho
enthusiasm aroused by Spoukor Can
nou In Chicago was Incomparably moro
bear y than any excited by the men
tion of their leader's name. There was
a general disposition, which they were
bound to conceal and did conceal, to
nominate a real favorite. It Is certain
that Mr. Roosevelt has gained no sin
cere frlensbips outsldo of a few far
Western States where tho rough rider
Is still a hero. The Republican cam
paign Is sure to bo dull and flat and
wholly lacking iu energy. The Amer
ican people desire a sensible, safe,
olear-headod and modest gontlemau In
the Whito House. Such a character Is
Judge Parker and such is not "Terri
ble Teddy".

An Editor Resigns.
The Spartanburg Horald has been
resigned by Editor Zach McGoe. This
is a mi9fortuno to Spartanburg and
the State. Mr. McUee put plenty of
intelligence into tho columns of the
paper, bo made it bright and he gave
it a personal flavor and that is what i
mo8tof our newspapers lack. Moreover
be gave It honosty and genuineness,
The Herald said what Mr. MetJee
thought and one reading; it was there
fore sure of lioding tho clear, bold
view of a thinker without an axe to
grind. We supposo that The Herald
will discover aoothei good Editor,
tbe field Is an inviting one, although
we do not oxpect it to Improve ou Mr.
McGee.

there are hundreds who can testify to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh. Many of the staunehest
friends of this remedy to-day bogan its
use with little hope that they would be
cured, but as The I .aureus Drug Co.
offered to refund the mouoy if It did
not euro, they decided to try it on that
plan, and were soon restored to hoalth.
"night WAS HER TERROR.

other medicines failed, throe $1.00 bot

GET INSIDE.
Our Friends and Neigh
bors in Laurens Will
Show You How.
Rubbing the back won't cure backache.
A liniment may relieve, but can't cure1
Backache comes from the in*idc, from
tho kidneys.
Dunn's Kidney Pills get inside?
They cure sick kidneys.
Here is Laurens proof that this Is so:
Charles Loke, mill hand: of Factory
Hill, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills in my
opinion are the best backache cure in
this world. They cured mo and I have
bad backache for at least two years,
and have been so bad at times I could
not get out Ci bed, much less go to work.
I have had my wife to rub It with lini
ment until it was all a blister. I tried
numerous remedies but without them
doing me one bit of good. The s ecre
tions from the kidneys wore as red as
blood, full of sediment and I could not
hold them, especially at night when
my rest was broken, on account of my
having to get up a numbor of timos. I
learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and sent
to the Palmetto Drug Co. for a box. I
did not believe tboy would do inn any
more good than tho other remedies I
bad tried, but i was mistaken. I felt
bettor the very next day, and my back
gradually becamo strong and the ach
ing disappeared. I do not have to get
up at nights now at all and tho kidneys
have become regular and natural in ac
tion."

RTTrinKN I told the Pilot of I*dy
IWI Charlotte's purposo to vistt
kJ^'^i CJwon ho was not too well
\?&L'&\ ,,leaned. "What does she
want will? Owen?" he Bale impatiently.
'?Bho will just put notions Into her head
and make the child discontented."
"Why should she?" said I.
"fiilio won't mean to, hut she belongs
to another world, and ?won cannot
talk to her without (jotting glimpses of
a life I hat will make her long for what
she cau never have," said the Pilot.
"But suppose It Ih not Idle curiosity
in Lady Charlotte." I suggested.
"I don't say It Is quite that," he an
swered, "but these people love a sen
satlon."
"I don't think you know Lady Char
lotte," I replied. "I hardly think from
her tone the other night that she 1b a
sensation hunter."
"At any rate," he answered decided
ly, "she Is not to worry poor Owen."
1 was a little surprised nt bis attl
tnde and felt that he was unfnlr to
Lady Charlotte, but I forbore to nrgue
with hint on the matter. He could not
hear to think of any person or thing
threatening the peace of bla beloved
(Iwen.
The very first Saturday after my
promise wan given we were surprised
to sec Lady Charlotte ride up to the
door of our shack in the early morn
ing.
"You sco, I am not going to let you
off," she said as I greeted her. "And
the day is so very (lliu for a ride."
I hastened to apologize for not going
to h<-r, and then to ?et out of my diffi
culty rather meanly turned toward the
Pilot and said:
"The 1'llot doesn't approve of our
visit."
"And why not, may I ask?" Bald
Lady Charlotte, lifting her eyebrows.
The Pilot's face burned, partly with
wrath nt me and partly with embar
rassment, for Lady Charlotte had put
on her grand air. But he stood to his
guns.
"1 was Baying, Lady Charlotte," he
said, looking straight into her eyes,
"that you and Gwon have little in com
mon and and" lie hesitated.
"Little in common!" said Lady Char
lotte quietly. "She has suffered great
ly."
The Pilot was quick to catch the
not'- of Badness In her voice.
"Yes." he said, wondering nt her
toue. "She has suffered greatly."
"And," continued Lady charlotte,
"bin- is bright as the morning, the
Duke says." There was a look of pain
in her face.
The Pilot's lace lit up, and ho OO'UO
Dearer and laid his hand caressingly
upon her beautiful horse.
"Yes, thank <!od," he said quickly;
"bright as I he morning."
"How can that beV" she asked, look'
down lulo his face, "Perhaps she
would lell me."
"Lady Charlotte." said the Pilot,
with a sudden Mush, "1 musl ask your
pardon. I was wrong. I (bought
you" he paused "hut go to Owen.
Sh ? will tell you, and you will do her
good."
"Thank you." said Lady Charlotte,
putt In;; mit In r hand, "and perhaps yon
will come and see nie too."
The I'llol promised, and stood looking
after us as \> e rode up the trail.
"There Is something more in your
Pilot than at lirst appears," she said.
"The Duke was quite light."
"He Is a great mau." I said, with on
thuslasm; "lender as n woman and
with the heart of a hero."
"You and Itlll and the Duke seem to
agree llboul him," she said, smiling.
Then I lold her tales of the Pilot and
of his ways with the men till her blue
eyes grow blight and her beautiful
face lost Its proud look.
"It is perfectly amazing," I said, lln
Ishlng my story, "how these devil may
care rough fellows respect him und
come lo hill) In all sorts of trouble. 1
can't understand It, and yet he Is just a
boy."
"No; not amazing," said Lady Char
lotto slowly. "1 think I understand It.
lie has a true man's heart and holds a
groat purpose in it. I've seen nu n like
that not clergymen, 1 mean, but men
with a great purpose."
Then, after a moment's (bought, she
added: "Hut you ought to care for him
heller. lie dues not look strong."
"Strong!-' 1 exclaimed quickly, with a
queer feollug of resentment at my
heart. "He can do as much riding ah
any of us."
"Still," she replied, "there's some
thing In bis face thai would make his
mother anxious." In spite of my re
pudlnlion of her suggestion I found
myself for the next few minutes think
lng of how he would come exhausted
and faint from his long rides, and I re
solved that he must have a rest and
change.
By the time we reached the canyon
the sun was riding high and pouring
Its rays full Into all the docp nooks
whore the shadows mostly lay.
Down In the bottom stood tho cedars
Itnd the balsams, still green. Wo stood
some moments silently gazing luto this
tangle of interlacing boughs and shim
mering lonves, all glowing In yolkw
light, then Lady Charlotte broke tho
Bllonco In tones soft and reverent as If
she stood In a great cathedral.
"And this is Gwon's canyon?"
"Yes, but she never sees It now," I
said, for I could never rldo through
Without thinking of tho child to whose
hearl this was so dear, but whoso oyos
never rested upon It. Lady Charlotte
made no reply und we took the trnll
thai wound down into this mazo of
mingling colors and lights nnd shad
ows. Everywhere lav the fallen leaveo,
brown and yellow and gokl ovory
Where on our trail, on the groan mosses
and among the dead ferns.
As WO bogan to climb up Into tho open
1 glanced into my companion's face.
The canyon had done Its work with her
ns n Ith all who loved It. The touch of
pride that was tho habit of her face
was gone, nnd In Its plnoo rested the
earnest wonder of a little child, whllo
In her oyos lay tho canyon's tender
flow. And with this face she looked in
upon Owen.
And (Iwen, who had been waiting for
hor. forgot all her nervous fear, and
with hands outstretched, cried out in
welcome:
"Oh, I'm so glad I Yo?; haffc seen it
nnd I know you lovo It: My canyon,
you know I" she went on, answering
Lady Charlotte's mystified look.
"Yes. dear child." ?nid L?4r Oha?

U< bnlo ?>r golden l>"lr' "I ,ovo u " But
she COUld Kot no further, for her eyes
wore full of tours. Owen g??od up Into
the beautiful too?, wondering at her sl
tenco, and tUon said gently:
"Tell me how u looks today i TTw?
rilot always hIiowb It to me. Do you
know " she ndd.nl thoughtfully, "the
VIM looks like It blmsolf. He makes
me tbluk of It, and and"?abe went
on shyly, "you do. too."
By tbls time Lady Charlotte w$fl
kneeling by the couch, smoothing the
beautiful bulr and gently touching the
face ko palo and lined with pain.
?That Is a great honor, truly," abe
said brlgbtly through b?r tears "to be
like your canyon and like your Pilot
too."
Qwen nodded, but she was not to be
denied.
"Tell me how It looks today,' she
said. "I want to see it. Oh, 1 want to

Lady Cbnrlotte was greatly moved by
the yearning In iti?* voice, but, control
ling herself. sl,(> s'',,, saylys
"Oh, 1 can't show it to you as your
Pilot cnu, but 1 11 toll you what I saw"
"Tarn mo where 1 can see," said
Gwcujte me, and I wheeled her towurd
the window and raised her up so that
Bbe could look down the trail toward
the canyon's month.
"Now." she snid, after the pain of the
lifting had passed, "tell me, please."
Then Lady Charlotte set the canyon
before her In rich and radiant coloring,
while Owen listened, gazing down upon
the trail to where the elm tops could be
Been, rusty and sear.
"Oh, it Is lovely!" said Owen. "And
I see it so well. H Is nil there before
ine when 1 look through my window."
lint lady Charlotte looked at her,
Wondering to see her bright smile, and
at last she could not help the question:
"Tint doii'l you weary to see it with
your own eyes'.''
"Yes." saiii (.wen gently; "often I
want and want It, oh. so much!"
"And Iben, Owen, dear, how can you
bear IIV" Her voice was eager and
earnest. "Tell me, Owen. I have -
heard all nboul your canyon llowors.ll
bul 1 can't understand how the fret
ling and the : ain went away."
Owen look' 1 at hol* first in amaze
ment and Iben in dawning understand
ing.
"Have yon a canyon, too?'1 she asked
gravely. '
Lady Charlotte paused a moment,
then nodded, it did appear strange to
me that she should break down her
proud reserve and open her heart to
ibis child.
"And there are no {lowers, Owen; not
one." she said, rather bitterly, "nor sun
nor s??< ds nor (oil, 1 fear."
"Oil, If the Pilot were here he would
tell you."
At I'm-; point, feeling that they would
rtitln r be alone, I excused myself on
tho pretext of looking after the horses.
What they talked of during the neat
hour 1 never knew, but when I re
turned to the room Lady Charlotte was
reading slowly and with perplexed toe*
to Owen ont of her mother's Bible tb*
words "for llie suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honor."
"You see even for him suffering,"
Qwen said eagerly. "But I can't fg
plain. Tho Pilot will make It clear."
Then the talk ended.
"Wo had lunch with Owen?bannock*
and fresh, sweet milk and bluebcrrhvs
and after an hour of gay fun we cam*
away.
Lady Charlotte kissed her tenderly as
she bade Qwen goodby.
"Yon must let mo come again and Bit
at your window," she said, smiling
down upon the wan face.
"Oh, 1 shall watch for you. How
good that will bo!" cried Owen delight
edly. "How many come to see me!
Yon make live." Then she added soft
ly, "Yon will write your letter." But
Lady Charlotte shook ber head.
"1 can't do that, 1 fear," she said,
"but 1 shall think of it."
It was a bright face that looked out
upon us through the open window as
we rode down tho trail. Just before
we took the dip into tho canyon I turn
ed to wave my hand.
"Qwen's fHonda always wave from
here," I said, wheeling my bronco.
Again and again "Lady Charlotte
waved her handkerchief.
"How beautiful, but how wonder
ful!" she said as If to herself. 'Twdy,
her canyon is full of flowers."
"It is qnlte beyond me," I answered
"The Pilot may explain."
"Is there anything your Pilot can't
do?" Bald Lady charlotte.
"Try him," I ventured.
"I moan to," she replied, "but I can *
uot bring any one to my canyon, I
fear," she added hi an uncertain voice.
"Yen, dear child," said Chorlotte, "1
lOVC It."
As I left her at her door she thanked
me with courteous grace.
"You have done a great deal for me,"
she said, giving mo her hand. "It ha*
