HISTORY OF KERSHAW'S BRIQADE. Some lirrors That Should be Corrected In Next Edition. To the Editor of the Sunday News: In 1899 the Blbort H. Aull Company of Newberry, published a History of Ker shaw's Brigade, by Capt. D. Augustus Dickert. Chief Justice Y. J. Pope wrote the introduction and the book has been approved by the State board of education for the school libraries re cently provided for. Last week two gentlemen from the country who had been reading the book remarked that it was interesting, and Chief Justice Pope bad commended it for accuracy. Notwithstanding Judge Pope's en dorsement there arc mistakes in the book that should be corrected. The ap proval of the State board of education docs not cure these defects. On page 269 the author, speaking of Con. George H. Thomas at Chickamau ga. says: "He and Gen. Hunt, of South Carolina, who so ably commanded the artillery of Gen. Meadc at Gettysburg, were two of the most illustrious of Southern renegades." Gen. Hunt was not a renegade South Carolinian. In Gen. Cullum's "Biogra phical Register of Officers and Grad uates of the United States Military Academy," it is stated that "Henry Jackson Hunt was born in Detroit, Michigan, September 14, 1819; was ca det at West Point (appointed from Ohio) September 1, 1835, to July 1, 1839. He died in Washington, D. C, February 11, 1889, being at the time of his death Governor of the Soldiers' Home at that place. He went upon the retired list September 14, 1833, and May 15, 1855, was appointed Governor of the Soldiers' Home at Washington, D. C. On page 80, speaking of the duel be tween Capt. Elbert Bland and Major Emmet Seibels, the author says: "It was many months before Major Seibels was sufficiently recovered from his wound to return to duty. The matter was kept quiet and no action was taken. Major Seibels died the follow ing year," etc, etc. There is a mistake in this statement. Major Seibels died December 19, 1898 at the age of 78 years in Montgomery, Ala. He was a special agent of the United States in terior department by appointment of President Cleveland. On page 102 an incident is mentioned about the Hon. George Clark Sanders, adjutant general, meeting with a fine looking Federal officer hobbling out of the "Crater" using two guns reversed for crutches and that it was Gen. Bart leu, who said he had lost his leg a year before at Spottsylvania and only his wooden leg was shot oil that day. The Crater was fought July 30, 1864, and Spottsylvania May 12, 1864, and it is not likely that Gen. Bartlett could have recovered and entered another battle in two months and a half. There was no George Clark Sanders, but there was Adjt. Gen. George Clark on the staff of Gen, John C. Sanders, of Alabama. He is now a resident of Waco, Texas. On page 45 "W. C. Morayne," as sistant adjutant general should be "W. C. Moragne," and Capt. George W. "Say" should be George W. "Lay," who was in the old army and drew the original draft of the terms of surren der of Vera Cruz, at that time being military secretary for Gen. Winfield Scott. Dr. A. S. Dozier was surgeon of the 7th South Carolina volunteers, and not "A. R. Drogie," as it appears on page 38 Speaking of the death of Capt. Wil liam D. Farley, on page 47, the author says he "was killed at the battle of Chanccllorsville," but this is an error, for he was killed in the battle at Brandy Station, or Fleetwood, as it was styled by Gen. J. E. B. Stuart. There are other errors, but these are sufficient to show that the book should be revised when another book is printed. RomoitT R. Hemphill, Abbeville, S. C. May 6, '05;_ Son Lost Mother. "Consumption runs in our family, and through it I lost my mother," writes \ E. B. Reid, of Harmony, Me.

Why suffer from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain's Pain Ralm will relieve the pain? The quick relief which this liniment affords makes i*est and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times its cost. Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from .suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile tho relief became permanent. Mrs. V. II. Leggett of Yum Yum, Tennessee, U. S. A., writes. "I am a great sufferer from rheumatism, all over from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Ralm is the only thing that will relieve the pain." For sale by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. R.

The I.aureus Drug Company Guarantee Hyomei Will Cure if Used Now. The early summer when the weather becomes warm and settled is the best time of the whole year to treat Katar rhal troubles with the expectation of complete and lasting relief. Everyone who has catarrh of the head and throat should know how fool ish it is to try and cure it by drugging the stomach. Until recently your physician would have said that the only way to cure ca tarrh would be by a cnange of climate, but now with Hyomei you can carry a health-giving climate in your purse or vest pocket, and by breaching it a few mintues four times a day soon cure yourself. Everyono who has catarrh, or even a tendency to catai rh, should use Hyo mei now, for the benefit will be gained twice as quickly and the disease thor oughly eradicated from the system. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar, and includes a neat pocket inhaler, a medicine dropper, and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks' treatment. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if more Hyomei is needed ex tra bottles can be procured for 50 cents. In Laurens there are scores of well known people who have been cured of catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not cure you, The Laurens Drug Co., will re ' turn your money. This is the strong j est evidence they can offer as to their' ; faith in the remedy.
