The following is taken from the Chris tian Observer, n Presbyterian paper printed in Nashville: "The steady growth of the anti-sa loon sentiment all through the South is one of the bright signs of the times. Within the last two years nearly eight hundred saloons in Virginia have been closed, and a similar work is going on in many of the States. AH of Tennessee except eight cities hav-> voted out the saloon. Ninety per -at. of Missis sippi, nearly 80 per . >ut. of Georgia, about 70 per cent of Virginia and al most 60 nor cent, of Texas have pro hibition. In South Carolina during the last two years no saloons except those in Cherokee county, one in the town of Elloree and probably one or two others have been closed. Many have been opened. Some good men still insist, that the dispensary is "the best solution of the Whiskey question." Elsewhere than in this State, in the South, selling whis key is not considered the "best solu tion of the whiskey question." The larger part of the South is "dry" ?real "dry" and no pretense. Whis key selling is chietly confined to the big towns. Some of you good, staunch honest men are conscientiously standing by the dispensary. We honor you for holding fast to your convictions. Never theless you are responsible for forti fying whiskey selling in South Caro lina, making this State its Southern stronghold and last refuge of the traf fic. There is no denying it. Elsewhere in the South they arc driving out whis key and it has been vanished from more than half of all Southern territory. Senator Tillman gave you the dispen sary "as a step towards prohibition." Ours is the only Southern State that has not "stepped", long strides to wards prohibition, in 13 years. We South Carolinians are selling more whiskey every year. B. R. Tillman has caused more whis key to be sold by the whole-sale deal ers than any other one man living. Ho has kept the business alive and booming in South Carolina while it has been shrinking and dying in other States. His influence is keeping it alive now. Many who read this won't be lieve it because they believe madly in Tillman and he and the liquor business mean the same thing. But count the "dry" counties in Georgia. Visit them. The man who docs will have his eyes opened. ? Townships to Meet. Meetings have been called of the Cotton Growers Associations through out the various Townships for March ?Ith. These meetings should be attended by every member of the organization and every farmer and other business man in the county should belong to his Township Club. It is not expected that they will all belong, for there will be some who be lieve that the plan is most excellent but will want somebody else to take all the chances, but come in for their share of the dividends. But no man can afford 'mto stay out for this reason. ? There are men of means who will not take a dollar in any enterprise until the exterprise has been proved successful, in the meantime trusting to get some poor but public spirited fellow's few shares who has worn weary with wait ing. Such men do not add to the pros perity of a community. They may add to their own coffers but they do not help to make a people prosperous. ? Where such men make up a citizenship you find no cotton mills or other indus tries which must be fostered in the be ginning. This newspaper does not claim to be infallible. We do not know whether the farmers are proceeding in the right way or not. If we cannot suggest a better one it is our duty to follow the lead already taken. We have always advocated raising supplies at home and something else be side cotton for market. That neces sarily means reduction of cotton acre age. THR AnvrcuTiKKK urged it as be ing of benefit to the individual who practised it. The farmers are now urging it as a means of self-preserva tion. Every man owes it to his neighbor to attend these meetings and suggest a better remedy or adopt the one offered. To fail now would be a death blow to any organized elTort on the part of the farmers. BEST REMEDY FOR CONSTIPA TION. "The finest remedy for constipation I ever used is Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets" says Mr. Eli But ler, of Frankville, N. Y. "They act gently and without any unpleasant ef fect, and leave the bowels in a per fectly natural condition. Sold by The Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. B. F. Poscy. Messrs. g. M. & E. H. Wilkes & Co., Laurens, S. C. Gentlemen: ? I am highly pleased with the Buck's Stove bought of you sometime ago. I find it all you recom mend it to be. It cooks with very lit tle fuel and is the best baker I ever saw. I advise my friends to buy Buck's if they want the best. Yours Truly, W. A. Franks, Clinton, S. C. February 14th, 1905. We Don't Agree. The following is an interview which appeared in the Greenville News of February 24th: "As in the old Alliance movement, the political grafter is going to be the parasite to ruin the Southern Cotton Association," said a woll known cotton man in Greenvillo yesterday. "The thing has scarcely been organized, and it has been organized along good busi ness lines, too, and yet the politician is already in evidence. I did not go to the New Orleans meeting, but I hap pen to know something about the Hon orable Harvic Jordon of Georgia. He is a politician and he is riding the asso ciation in an effort to be elected Gov ernor of Georgia. In my opinion the greatest mistake the New Orleans people made, and it was the first and about the only one, too, was in elect ing Jordon president of the association. He has a way of firing communications into the press that are full of poor judgment and bad reasoning. The busi ness world has come to regard Harvie Jordan as a huge joke and when he was elected president of the association, Wall street snickered. And it was rea sonable that they should. Who made himself more ridiculous than the Hon orable Harvie Jordon on several occa sions last summer, when he sung out for 12-cent cotton and when the props were knocked from under him he had to sing down to a 10-cent tune and now cotton is selling for 7 cents. He has cost the farmers of the South a mint of money. He showed he did not under stand the cotton business and was hope lessly lost in his estimates of tho size of the ci*op. Can such a man inspire confidence?the kind of confidence ne cessary to make the cotton association a power and a success? "As for the State Convention at Co lumbia several days ago, that was nearer home. I had an opportunity to watch it, and I watched it closely. It was badly crippled by political schem ers: men who have got to be rooted out if the association is to be worth a cent. In fact its very life depends on freezing out the political grafter who is eternally trying to help himself at the expense of the public. There were men at the State Convention who wouldn't know a cotton stalk from an Irish potato bush. They were there for a purpose, but not for the good of the farmer. They destroyed much of the confidence that was necessary to the welfare of such a gathering. I have no reference whatever to the cotton mill presidents, for they were specially invited and very properly accepted, the interests being so much in common, but I am after the fellow that wants to be Governor of South Carolina, or Con gressman or anything else, who goes into the farmers' association with the idea that he is bettering his chances of election. "For my part I fear still lower prices. The farmers have fired their last gun. There will be nothing now to prevent a bear campaign, and the bears are going to put in some heavy work. They have been stupying the situation. They know that at every Convention there has been bickering and strife and discontent. I heard a prominent farmer say a day or two ago that he was disgusted with the turn of affairs and that he expected to sell his cotton as he saw fit. The association could go to pieces so far as he was concerned, because it had already been ruined by politicians and its effective ness destroyed. "This course is a gloomy view It may be an exaggeration, but it serves to show the effect of unwarranted in terference on the part of the man with an axe to grind. The association is by no means wrecked though it has been crippled and injured by some of its of ficers. There are strong men in it and I hope to see it held together and firmly established, but in doing this they will have to gag the politician and the man with the axe to grind, gag them and throw them out, and as soon as possi ble. "I am afraid that hundreds of the farmers are going to sell with each lit tle advance in tho market. This re lieves the situation. It gives the bears just what they want and they keep hammering at the market. That is my reason for fearing a further decline. The biggest gun of the farmers has been fired. It has proved to be weak and now I predict a bear movement of the most strenuous sort. ? Greenville News. The gentleman above refcrrrcd to may be correct in his prophecy. Wc inclined to believe otherwise. Mr. vie Jordan may be a politician, of it? If tho scheme succeeds ar ends are accomplished, let the pr ers run for Congress or Govern anything else they wish. Moreover they will deserve something. Not as a reward but because they will have shown themselves capable of undertak ing the management of the affairs of the people. At present there can be no danger because they themselves have pre cluded that by a constitution of their own making. If the scheme falls to the ground as the gentleman would imply and Mr. Harvie Jordan or any of the others then announce themselves for office, they will fulfill the gentleman's pro phecy and will deserve to be repudiated by the farmers, as wc have no doubt they would be. Of course there will be a number of men who will sell their holding before 10 or 12 cents or even 9 cents is reached. Let them sell; that will relieve the nrcsent tension, but if there is a gon [ oral reduction of 25 per cent in acreage I the bears may hammer and maul as much as they choose and they cannot hold the price down below a profit pay ing basis. Wc do not believe there should be any arbitrary rule fixed as to when a man should sell his cotton. Let him sell it when he has a satisfactory profit in it. When the world is satisfied as to a bona fide reduction of acreage the market will not be glutted. If there is no reduction the whole South covdd not carry the weight of a bull market.

In tho treatment of deafness which is often a result of catarrh Hyomei acts almost immediately upon the in flamed membrane and the hearing; begins to return at once. A few days treatment will bring relief, and in three or four weeks, according to the severity of the case, a cure will be ac complished. Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y., says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful. I have used it but a short time and see a great change in my condition. My hearing is improving rapidly, and I had no idea I would improve so rapidly in so short a time. My breath which was so oll'ensive to myself and others, has lost its bad odor entirely. 1 havo spent a great deal of money with catarrh specialists and can truly say that six months of their treatmont is not equal to one month of Hyomei." The Laurens Drug Co. arc selling Hyomei upon the unusual plan of agree ing to return the money if the medi cine does not cure. A complete outfit costs only $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can bo car ried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler will last a lifetime and there is enough Hyomei for several weeks' treatment. Additional bottles of Hy omei can be procured for HO cents. Com pare this small expense with the fees charged by specialists and then remem ber that if Hyomei does not cure The Laurens Drug Co. will return your money. A SAFE COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN.

"I can heartily and conscientiously recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for affections of the throat and lungs," says Hon. John Shenick, 220 South Peoria Street, Chicago.? "Two years ago during a political cam paign, 1 caught cold after being over heated, which irritated my throat and I was finally compelled to stop, as I could not speak aloud. In my extremity a friend advised me to use Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. I took two doses that afternoon and could not believe my senses when I found tho next morning the inflammation had kvrgely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept right on talking through the campaign, and I thank this medicine that I won my seat in the Council." This remedy is for sale by Laurens Drug Co., and Dr. B. F.

Goats are popularly supposed to feed on nondescript articles which no other animal could digest or masticate, but there Is, or there was, a goat in Bel* glum which showed a nice discrimina tion hi tho choice of its food and paid the price with its life.

Whllo she wan at work her pet nanny goat j;ol at the notes anil ate them. The animal was killed and the chewed paper recovered from Its .stom ach.
