Lee's Latest Orders on This Sub The following general orders have been issued from tho New Orleans headquarters, United Confederate Vet erans: The United Confederate Veterans are desirous of establishing closer relations v ith the junior organization of Sons of Confederate Veterans. With this pur pose In view the joint committee, U. C. V., makes a few practical suggestions to carry this union into effect, all au thorized by general order 303. "To the United Confederate Vete rans: All organizations should stimu late in every way the formation and sustenance of camps of United Sons of Confederate Veterans, and have them with you whenever possible. "State Divisions: "Appoint at once the joint committee on co-operation, as provided in clause 1, par. 2, general or der 303, and notify State divisions of United Sons of Confederate Veterans. At all reunions extend to the Sons the privileges of the door and at the open ing ceremonies, especially, let them take part in the speaking therein: "Camps Invite the Sons (of camps) to all your meetings and social gather ings, particularly those where histori cal matters are presented. Change your constitutions so that the Sons, members of United Sons of Confeder ate Veterans, may become members of your camp with such privileges as you may determine; right to vote; right to speak or not; right to contribute to your treasury or not. Under general order 303 you can give them 'such privileges of membership as each camp may determine.' But remember the proviso?that such Son is a member of some duly organized camp belonging to the United Sons of Confederate Vete rans. Be liberal in dealing with them and by loving kindness make them feel that they are the Sons of the veterans' camp." "To the United Sons of Confederate Veterans: Under general order 303, you have tho right given you by the highC3t authority of the United Con federate Veterans, to which all subor dinate organizations must, and we feel sure will, cheerfully and lovingly as sent: 1. "To participate in all conventions at the opening ceremonies and have the privileges of the floor at all reunions of veterans. 2. "To become members of atiy camp of United Confederate Veterans on such terms as said camp may describe.

To have the pains and aches of a hail 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. .1. R. S imple, farmer, near Green wood, say;.: "I have used Doan's Kid ney Pills and can recommend them as a good remedy for the back and kidneys. I was troubled for a long lime with my kidney secretions, which were full of sediment, very dark and of a strong odor and caused me annoyance during the night. My hack 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 Pills 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 Dr ig Co.'s store and ask what their custom ers report. For sale by all dealers. Price f>0een s. Foster-Milburn Company, Buffalo, N.

"I've been thinking,"Jane, and have made up my mind to get you a new shaving-brush." Tit-Bits. Treating the Pallbearers. ? "I read the other day," said "Tom" Dunn, "where a German over in llo boken left $25 in his will to treat his friends after his funeral. Of course, the Germans never did anything that Irish could not equal, and so that story reminded me of another of a Hibernian friend of mine. The doctor told him he had only a few hours to live. He called me over and says he: " 'Tom, 1 want you to take $10 of me money that's in me wallet and treat me pallbearers." "It was a touching moment. Strug gling with my emotions, I said to him: "I 'I'll do it, Billy. But shall I treut 'cm going out or coming back?' " 'Treat 'em going out,' says Billy,' a sport to the last. 'I won't be with you coming back." ?Buffalo Courier. Decollette.?? She was magnificent in ball attire. "By what right sir do you tell me I shall not wear this gown?" she de manded, with Hashing eyes.
