Lyceum Postponed,
The Lyceum entertainment that was
to have been given last night by the Old
Homestead Male Quartette had to be
postponed because of the serious illness
ofthe bass singor. The management of
the Lyceum received a telegram from
the bureau managing this quartette in
the South to this effect on Saturday,
which was followed by a letter stating
that the bass singer was sick and that
the quartette would not be able to fill
its date on the 7th, but they would come
a little later on. The Lyceum Commit
tee does not, at this time, know just
when the quartette will be here, but
they have every assurance that it will
not be long off.
This is to be the last number of the
Lyceum course and from all the re
ports the quartette is said to be excep
tionally line. It was a big success in
Norfolk where it opened its Southern
tour. The Lyceum Committee regret
having to postpone the date of this en
tertainment, but this is one of those
things that could not be foreseen.
Notice of the date will be given later.

"Though the resentment of riches,"
says Collier's for March 4, "is part of |
the feeling against such men as Rock
feller, it. would have small force were it]
not with the belief that they grown rich
in defiance of the statute laws, to say
nothing of the laws of Him whom some
of them profess to follow. It is no]
mere hostility that gives momentum to
lh?_ effort to regulate ruthless com
petition, Confuwed alarms and fantas
tic remedies are not infrequent. Legis
lators attach Wfl? 'ttMrfg in the same'
breath that thoy admit the evil lies in
something else. Hut under whatever
confusion and whatever unfair preju
dice there may be lies the unescapable
truth that for cemirrVes the human race
has been ib?trfyjnir penalties for
crimes committed by. the poor, and has
done little toward arranging for the
punishmrnl of Cnb rich. Petty larceny
receives at least as much attention as
it deserves from the machinery of jus
tice, but a man may go through life
giving huge bribes, thinly disguised, to
get him special privileges, arranging
corners in wheat or uotton, or contriv
ing monopolies, jyhich by law make him
a criminal .ajJiLhy^ in small clanger j

Cotton Growers Meeting.'
In response to the call of Dr. W. C.
Irby, Chairman, the Township Cotton
Growers Association met in , tbo Court
House; on Saturday morning. The busi
ness of the meeting hingod on the re
port of the Committee on acreage and
membership and as the committee was
?riot ready to report little else came be
fore the faceting'.
The day was ideal for farm work and
since it was about the first of the
soaao) few farmers were present. The
business men of the city were busy'like
wise and this caused a rather slim at
tendance. ... ? . . ? .
The Committee on acreage and mcm
bership were instructed to make then
report to the Chairman not later than
March 10th.
They were further authorized to ap
point one assistant for each School Dis
trict to receive $1.00 per day for his
services.
The meeting adjourned to meet again
at call of the Chairman.
State Executive Committee Decides on
Dates.
The State Executive Committee has
decided upon the dates of tbo primaries
and the time and place of the several
campaign meetings, incident to the elec
tion of Solicitors of Eighth and Ninth
i Circuits.
The first Primary will be held on
March 21st, 1905.
The second Primary will be held April
?1th and the general election April 18th.
Senator Bivens of Dorchester moved
that each candidate be exempted from
assessment at the hands of the State
Executive Committee, and that no count y
be permitted to assess a candidate more
than $25. Mr. Richards' amendment to
make the maximum limit $10 was voted
down and Mr. Bivens' was accepted.
It was decided that the campaign in
each circuit should start on March Uth.
thus mnking Friday, the 10th, as the
last day for filing pledges. As no as
sessment is to he paid to the State com
mittee, it was decided that the County
Chairman should report by wire on the
10th tho names of the candidates who
had paid their assessments before the
hour for closing the lists.
The members from the counties com
posing Che Eighth Circuit held a confer
ence and announced the following cam
paign dates : Saluda, Saturday, March
11th; Ncwberry, March 13th ; Laurens,
March 15th ; Abbeville, March 17th ;
Greenwood, March 18th.
It was decided that in tho towns in
which there are cotton factorie s in the
Eighth Circuit, there should be night
meetings for the benefit of the opera
tives.
It was announced that the Legisla
ture had passed an act which will obvi
UU) any recurrence of tho disagreeable
entanglement which came up from
Greenville County. The election for
Supervisor in that county was thrown
into a muss because the State committee
had no appellate jurisdiction over t he
County committee's rulings, and the act
recently passed will establish the right
of appeal to the State committe.

Hyomci, the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure,
Prcscrnbed by Physicians.
No one should confound Hyomci with
the patent medicines that are adver
tised to cure catarrh. It is as far su
perior tot them all as the diamond is
more valdubld than cheap glass* Their
composition is secret, but Hyomoi
gives its fprmula to all .reputable phy
sicians, j C O [TS SI JTl .1 ff Ml* C
Its base is the valuable eucalyptus
oil, famous for its antiseptic qualities.
This is cotrtblnod with rtromaUd and
I healing gums and balsam: , making a
pure liquid, which when useej in the
llyomei |fylf?%tiblialet,lflll? the tilrjyou
breathe with germ-killing, disease de
stroying and healing powers, that kills
all catarrhol germs that may bo in the
throat, nose and lungs.
How foolish iL is to try ; .id cure ca
tarrh by swallowing tablets or liquids.
The only natural way to cure this dis
ease and all other diseases of the re
spiratory organs is to breathe Hyomci.
This treatment has been so SUCCOSS
SUl, curing 09 per c( nt. of all who have
used it, that llyomei is now sold by

This a Year of Disasters.
I Lee Spangler, tho York, Pa., pro
phet, who attrtictcd much attention by
accurately predicting great events, has
issued his prophecies lor the year 1905,
in part as follows:
"Woe unto,.Russia. She is fast ap
proaching boa doom. Tho people will
Overthrow the empire. The royal family
and jyho loading members of tho no
bility will'bo murdered". The country
will be divided into two small repub
lics ami elective monarchies, and these
will be constantly quarreling and in a
stn e of wnruntil tne end ot the world
comas in 190*,
' The United States will not escape.
Tho worst riots in tho history of tho na
tion are to occur this year. It will be
a year of strikes in all the "great indus
trial nations of the world.
"There will 1 bo many big fires In the
United States, and in other civilizod
nations. }t will be a year of great less
to the insurance companies.
(JKOUN'O HOC, A FAKtf.
"Belief in the ground hog as a weath
er forecaster Is a superstition that the
Devil has put la the mir.de of the peo
ple. According to natural indications
and to tho revelations of God there will
be an early spring. The summer will
be a dry one. Crops will bo ruined by
drouths. There are to be numerous
earthquake shocks during the year. ~
There will be most severe shocks in the
old world. Iv, Pennsylvania, New York,
>Je.\v.Jersey and New. England, there
will be shocks sullicient to cause chim
neys to topple over and cornices and
i-picturea to fajl.
b "In literary production", 1905 will be
a profitable year. Tho world's great
est book of philosophy, excepting the
Biblo, of course, will be written this
year. It will be written by a man who
is .now obscure and. is struggling
against thu greate^offds to accomplish
the worklhat GotrRas mapped but for
him. ? -
We don't know of course who the
philosopher 'referred to is or where he
hails from* otit we gather from some
tilings appearing between the lines that
Mr. Spangler is himself the referred to.

WORTH A THOUGHT.
This Statement Will Interest Scores of
Laurens Readers.
The facts given below arc worth a
perusal by all who arc anxious about
their physical condition or are similarly
situated to this resident of Laurens. It
is a local occurrence and can be thor
oughly investigated.
James Vincent, a mill hand, living on
Factory Hill, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills did my back and kidneys a lot of
good. 1 have suffered for several years
with backaeho, and nobody knows "what
it is but those who have had it. I
thought I was doomed to pass the bal
ance'of my life with it, but I am thank
ful to say that since I used Doan's Kid
doy Pills I have not had the backache
once. Before I used them 1 had it about
all the time, night and dav, and the
constant dull aching across tho small of
my back was sometimes so bad 1 could
not get about at all and it kept me
awake all night. Nothing 1 did gave
me relief, although I did everything 1
know-put on liniments and wore plas
ters?but nothing helped me until I got
Doan's Kidney Pills at the Palmetto
Dmg Company's store. Thev did the
work and cured me. Since taking them
my health has been belter than during
tho lnst fifteen years."
