Entered at the pis'ofilce at Laurens. 8. C, as s. cond class mall matter. LAURENS, S. C, Mar. 29, 1905. Worthy of Promotion. Newspaper commendation may be of some value to a candidate for political office but has no influence upon corpora tions in choosing their officials. Gen erally, a newspaper cheapens itself by Expressing opinions as to such matters. We observe in The Florence Times that Superintendent A. W. Anderson of the Charleston & Western Carolina may be appointed general superintendent of the Atlantic Coast Line to succeed Su perintendent Royal who has been made general manager. Because he is a Lau rens man, we go out of the way to dis cuss the subject, though it is none of our business. We are sure that if Mr. Anderson should be promoted to this important position everybody in Laurens would be pleased. Wc have all known Mr. Anderson rrom his childhood and his home people are! proud of the advancement which he has won?won in spite of obstacles and by sheer force of courage, brains and integrity. Whatever prosperity the Charles ton & Western Carolina Railway has enjoyed since it went into the hands of a receiver, Mr. Anderson hav ing been appointed Superintendent by the receiver, ^has been chiefly due to his ability and to the friendship which he commanded for it in this part of the State. The appointment of Mr. Anderson by the Atlantic Coast Line to this higher position would be extremely popular throughout South Carolina and wher ever he is known. It is our hope that it may be made. Since the above was put in type we learn that Mr. Anderson has received the appointment. * A North Dakota Appeal. The eloquent and moving extract be low is clipped from the Marine Jour nal. The mercury in North Dakota drops to 20 or 40 below zero in winter and there it stays. There are some few readers of The Advertiser to whom this clipping ought to be of stimulating interest. True, summer approaches but in this garden of Eden an umbrella may be a necessity. Here is what the Marine Journal copies from a "Leading" North Dakota newspaper: "It is reported that one of the fas tidious newly-married ladies of this town kneads bread with her gloves on. This incident may be somewhat pe culiar?but there are others! "The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on; be needs bread with his shirt on; he needs bread with his pants; and unless some of the de linquent subscribers to this Old Rag of Freedom pony up before long, he will need bread without a damn thing on, and North Dakota is no Garden of Eden in the winter time." The Journal comments: "The foregoing was sent us by Charles A. Moore, president of the Protective Tariff League and proprie tor of the big n achincry house of Man ning Maxwell & Moore, with the fol lowing one;y: "Norton, can you think out a strong er plea to persuade your subscribers to pay up?" "We must acknowledge that wc can not, as this is far above our ability in language or expression." * The Solicitorship. Mr. O. L. Schumpert of Newberry is popular in Laurens. He was a capital prosecuting officer but it was natural and necessary for Laurens and Green wood to vote for Mr. Robert A. Cooper. Mr. Cooper is a man of sense and a lawyer of character. The people will not be disappointed in him and he may be relied upon to do his duty. We thank the gentlemen of Saluda, Abbeville, Greenwood and Newberry who voted for Mr. Cooper. When the next new Circuit is created we hope it will elect Mr. Schumpert. # For Governor next year it seems to be understood that Senator R. I. Man ning of Sumtor, Mr. M. F. Ansel of Greenville, and Mr. M. L. Smith of Camden, will run. It is also said that Ex-Governor John C. Shcppard of Edgoficld, and Senator Rrice of York, will be in the race. Meanwhile one hears from various sec tions and from time to time a call for C. C. Featherstono. If Mr. Feather stone should enter be wotdd lead in the first primary. Ho came within some .'1,000 votes of victory in the second pri mary in his race against Mr. Ellcrbc Prohibitionists are more numerous in South Carolina now than then. ? Representative E. M. Seabrook is Understood to be a candidate for lieu tenant governor. Mr. Seabrook is an Edisto Island farmer and has made a good record in the legislature. Char leston county elects two or three coun try members and Mr. Seabrook is one of them. Mr. Seabrook is an upright, honora ble man, has plenty of common sense and is a good parliamentarian; a first class representative of the hard-headed, patriotic and square dealing fanning people of South Carolina. State Senator T. Q. McLcod of Lee County, a lawyer, a man of sense, a good speaker and popular gentleman is also a candidate. If the ladies of this town would do for Laurens what the ladies of Anderson have done for Anderson, Laurens would be a much pret Im i town than Anderson. Meanwhile Anderson now has the advantage. The Advertiser Prophesies. If the Hon. H. H. Evans prosecutes the Barnwell Sentinel for criminal libel the case will never come to trial. The Sentinel's remarks about the Hon. H. H. Evans, Ex-Mayor of Laurens and Newberry, probably do not consti tute clearly ground for a criminal libel prosecution. The case for criminal libel will not be tried. We shall be surprised if it be brought. Moreover, if tho Hon. H. H. Evans sues for damages in a civil action, the case will not reach the jury. If it should go to a jury, the verdict will be for the Defendant. No suit whatever will be seriously pressed against the Barnwell Sentinel by the Hon. H. H. Evans. * In the town of Manning a number of bankers and prominent citizens signed a petition of a negro who said he was applying for a position as a porter in the Legislature. Later it was rumored that he was an applicant for the post mastership. Then it was remembered that the petition did not state what of fice the negro would ask for, that its wording was general and might be con strued as a recommendation for any thing from official shoe-shiner to secre tary of the navy. The signers of the petition have been at some trouble to explain. The negro has, after all, not applied for the post mastership but the men who endorsed him without reading the endorsement they signed, it is hoped, have learned something by their experience. * The differences between a certain former lay delegate to the Episcopal Triennial Convention and the Bishop of New York may cause a divorce on the ground of incompatibility. One of the successful attractions of the St. Louis Exposition decided to tour the country and reached Atlanta last week. The Constitution thus an nounces its appearance: "With the arrival of the Boer war company yesterday, Atlanta again be- J came one of those cosmopolitan cen- J tres generally found in the great cities of the old world." That settles it I It's now as clear as mud. Rustics across the river, have often been puzzled to place her but she has come again into the possession of her very own. Everything on this side "the pond" has long been outclassed. ? MR. HALL'S MIRACLE. Experiences Similar to This Have Occa sioned Considerable Comment in Laurens. Few women are better known in Lockport, N. Y., than Mrs. Pattie D. Hall, as she belongs to one of the best families and has a large circle of friends and acquaintances. In a recent inter view, Mrs. Hall said: "The experience I have been through in the last two years seems like a mira cle. I was so badly off that life seemed almost unendurable, and my deafness increased so that I could scarcely hear anything. The suffocation caused in my chest and the indigestion caused by my catarrh produced very severe suf fering. I had five different physicians, bought everything that anybody re commended to me, but finally gave up in despair. "One day my milliner asked me if I had ever tried Hyomei. I began the treatment, and can thankfully testify that Hyomei does cure this terrible disease. Since using it my hearing is greatly improved, and the only time I have any catarrhal trouble is when I take cold. I then use Hyomei, and always get instant relief. My friends and acquaintances marvel at the change in my health and hearing. Hyomei has made many cures of ca tarrh, and in connection with Hyomei balm, of catarrhal deafness, in Lau rens. Similar experiences to that of Mrs. Hall's have created a large sale for Hyomei with The Laurens Drug Co. The complete outfit, including the in haler, costs but $1., while extra bottles are but 50 cents. Ask The Laurens Drug Co. to show you the strong guar antee under which they sell Hyomei.

When wifey tries to light a match, 'Tis jolly worth your while To happen to be somewhere near Rut don't you dare to smile. She clutches that poor little waif With grip of burnished steel, Then dances 'round, and 'round, and 'round, Upon her slippered heel. Then sets her teeth shut tight and close And gives her eyes a squint Along that waiting, fragile stick As if the deuce were in't. She strikes it first upon the box, Then on the kitchen floor; Then pirouettes across the room And tries the cellar door. The parlor stove is next in line, And then she tries her shoe, Then whispers something 'ncath her breath; And the game is up to you. You light, of course, the lucifcr With soul-inspiring swing. Then wifey sweetly smiles and says/ "Men are such stupid things." ? New York Sun. A small boy teased his father for a watch till he was forbidden to mention the matter again.

Rill Nye, the humorist, once had a cow to sell, the story goes, and adver tised her as follows: "Owing to my ill health, I will sell at my residence, in township H>, range 18, according to the government survey, one plush raspberry cow, aged 8 years. She is of undoubted courage and gives milk frequently. To a man who does not fear death in any form she would be a great boon. She is very much attached to her present home with a stay chain, but she will be sold to any one who will agree to treat her right. She is one-forth hyena. I will also throw in a double-barrel shot gun, which goes with her. In May she us ually goes away for a week or two and returns with a tall, red calf with wabbly legs. Her name is Rose. I would rather sell her to a non-resident." Batten's Wedge. w ?3 ':C ?3 STi. 3C -A. ? Bea.a tho /) 1 h? K''',J '!ave AI*aJs fo^2 IA CHICAGO ALDERMAN OWES HIS ELECTION TO CHAMBER LAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. "I can heartily and conscientiously I recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for affections of the throat land lungs," says Hon. John Shenick, '220 South Peoria Street, Chicago. ! "Two years ago during a political cam paign, I caught cold after being ovor heated, which irritated my throat and II 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 aftornoon and could not believe my senses when I found the next morning J the inflammation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept' right on talking through the campaign, ainl I thank this medicine that I won my seat in the Council." This remedy is for sale by Laurens Drug Co., and j Dr. B. P.
