C, as second class mall matter. LAURENS, S. C, April 5. 1905. Keep the ??Plant" Busy. One more word about this cotton acreage reduction and that word is Raise something else. Cotton production will never be re duced materially until the people learn to produce something besides cotton. The farmers will live better and have more and get richer by producing what they and their stock consume than by producing cotton only at 15 cents the pound. So long as a farmer does not learn how to diversify, how to raise hay and grains and potatoes and peanuts and fruits and pigs and turkeys and chick ens, he will continue to raise cotton re gardless of resolutions and speeches. If the farmers in the South this year produce 13,000,000 bales of cotton, it will mean one of two things,?either that the claim that cotton cannot be produced with profit at six cents the pound is false or that the farmers, as a class, have not yet learned to act with common business sense. In this Up C >u n try, the farmers di versify vastly more than they did a few years ago and that is why so many of them are in comfortable and inde pendent positions. That is why they have been able to hold cotton this win ter. The problem of farming is plain?at least one principle of it is. We have stated it time and again. The farmer's "plant, "?his mules, his laborers, his wagons, his tools ?must work all the time. When a cotton mill shuts down for a week, it loses tremendously.? When a farm shuts down for a week it loses tremendously. If THE Adver tiser rested six weeks in the year it would die. This is the inflexible rule of business. The farmer who has but one crop must keep his plant idle a large part of the time and cotton will never rise to a price that can make good such idleness ?not in this Up-Country where cotton alone cannot be produced in competition with the farms of Marl boro County and the Mississippi Delta. * Hear Col. Armstrong. We hone that all the veterans and all the people will attend the Memorial Day exercises. In the first place, it is ^duty^anrt.^u)^ jfe??-$J, young and old to join in this annual tri bute to the heroic dead. In the second, the speech of Col. James Armstrong will be such a treat as is rarely to be enjoyed in Laurens. Col. Armstrong is an Irishman and mighty proud of it, a hearty, whole souled gallant Irishman. He was born in this country, in Philadelphia, his pa rents having heen natives of the Em erald Isle. He came South when he was a child of four. He was a splen did Confederate soldier, was wounded four or five times and no man ever lived who more cheerfully and more bravely did his duty. Col. .Armstrong is a delightful speak er, full of humor and full of affection for his old comrades who wore the gray. Few men in South Carolina are more universally beloved by men and women he is a wonderful ladiesman and his speciality is pretty little girls. Col. Armstrong is a member of the staff of the Charleston News and Cou rier and the most popular man in his city. We believe he will be the most popular man in Laurens after he has been here a couple of hours for that is the rule wherever he goes. ? Another Laurens Boy Wins. Benjamin Ryan Tillman Todd was the winner of the United States naval cadetship from the Fourth District, with the following alternates in order: ft. P. Carson, Jos. Sparks, V. O. Hop kins. The examining board completed its work and announced the result Sat urday afternoon. There were six ap plicants. Todd will leave immediately for the Went/. Training School, which is located near Annapolis, and which prepares boys for the acedemy. Mr. Todd is IS years of age and has been a student of Clemson during the past two years. He is a bright, at tractive young fellow and deserves the congratulations of his friends. He has won an appointment which ought to be worth more to him than an inheritance of great wealth and which we have no doubt he will make the most of. He is tho son of Mr. W. P. Todd of Barksdale. # If cotton sells at five cents the pound in the fall of 1905 it will be because the farmers insist upon raising five cents cotton. Thirteen million hales of cotton and five cents cotton mean the same thing in these times. ? This is a good time for a good Gov ernor to sit steady in the boat. Peti tions for pardons are numerous. There is a Jury behind every verdict. No ac cused person has been convicted of a serious crime in South Carolina who did not have the services of competent lawyers for his defense. * RHEUMATIC PAINS QUICKLY RE LIEVED. The excruciating pains characteristic of rheumatism ana sciatica are quickly relieved by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The great pain relieving power of the liniment has been the surprise and delight of thousands of sufferers. The quick relief from pain which its affords is alone worth many times ita cost.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove com forting words to hundreds of Laurens readers. J. R. Sample, farmer, near Green wood, says: "1 have used Doan's Kid ney rills and can recommend them as a food remedy for the back and kidneys, was troubled for a long time with my kidney secretions, which were full of sediment, very dark and of a strong odor and caused me annoyance during the night. My back has caused me great suffering especially at night, right across the small of it. A dull aching pain existed which caused me to lay awake all hours of the night, there by losing rest, greatly to my discom fort as well as to the derangement of my general health. I tried all kinds of remedies, liniments and plasters, but nothing gave me any relief, Seeing Doan's Kidney Fills advertised in our papers I obtained them. Since using them according to directions, the secre tions from the kidneys cleared up and the backache has left me. I attribute this result entirely to Doan's Kidney Pills. Plenty more proof like this from Lau rens people. Call at Palmetto Drug Co.'s store and ask what their custom ers report. For sale by all dealers. Price 50cents. Foster-Milburn Company, Buffalo, N.

CHICAGO ALDERMAN OWES HIS ELECTION TO CHAMBER LAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. "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, I caught cold after being over heated, which irritated my throat and I was Anally compelled to stop, as 1 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 the next morning the inflammation had largely 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. Posey. Final Settlement. TAKE notice that on the 25th day of April, 1905 I will render a final ac count of mv acts and doings as Admin istratrix of the estate of L. D.
