COURT IN NEWBERRY. Heavy Docket (or Solicitor Cooper to Haadle. The Court of General Sessions for .dewberry county will convene on next Monday morning at 10 o'clock, Judge James C. Klugh, of this circuit, pre siding. Solicitor R. A. Cooper, of Laurena, will appear in Newberry for the first time as solicitor, having been elected since the creation of the two additional circuits, and this being the first court held in Newberry under the ten-circuit Act. Mr. Cooper's first court was in Abbeville last week, and he disposed of the business before him with dispatch, making a fine record in beginning his work. There are a large number of cases on the docket for trial, and many bills which will be handed out to the grand jury. It is hardly possible that the business can be disposed of in one week.?New berry Herald and News, June 23. Two Negroes Shot. Cal Turner, a negro from almost everywhere, is dodging the officers up in Sullivan township. According to reports Cal got into a little game with several other negroes at Prospect Church (colored) Sunday June 18th, and just to make things in teresting and possibly memorable a shooting bout was rung in. | Cal seems to have got the drop on the bunch for he brought down two, one of whom, Will Young Sullivan, was shot in the back and dangerously wounded. Rufe Childress who caught the second ball from Turner's pistol was not seriously shot. Only one remedy in the world that will at once stop itcniness of the skin in any part of the body; Doan's Ointment. At any drug store, 50 cents. Public School Libraries. Mr. Editor; Allow me space to say a few words in regard to public school libraries. During the year 1904 more than four hundred libraries were estab lished in the state. The work did not begin until sometime in March. I think it is remarkable that such a large muri ner has been established in such a short time, though there are some few schools yet that have not obtained libraries, but we hope to see them follow suit. The time has come when every voca tion in life demands a better knowledge and greater skill in the educational sphere. In the rapid advance toward ppreater excellence, education plays an important part. The Pennsylvania Railroad had long held to the policy of requiring the young men entering the mechanical depart ment to have some technical training, both in theory and practice, and to se cure this, technical colleges were estab lished. There they received the proper training. And now to secure the pro per training and developement of the child and to give him a broader view of things in general, public school libraries should be established in every school in the state. Here the pupil can spend his idle moments in reading good litera ture, something which will be beneficial to his future welfare. "Busy pupils ^are idle if they might be better em ployed." The establishment of these libraries will tend greatly to lessen the illiteracy throughout the State. It would be in teresting to know what interpretation we might put on the following, "Ye ?hall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." But there are some things worse than illiteracy. It is the per petuation of the condition which makes illiteracy. From the present stage of ? advancement the illiteracy of the future will be inexcusable. We can then pro vide for this by establishing libraries in every school throughout the different counties. The education of the children cannot wait for the reformation of the the teacher?they must have some other means of developing their mental powers. The school gives the preliminary pre paration for education, and the library gives the means by which the individ ual completes and accomplishes his edu cation. No class of pupils can grow in knowl edge without access to a library. This library should contain only the best books, Noble poems and choice prose from master writers do more to stimulate education than any number of didactic articles on that subject. High ideals and exalted visions put men to climbing sooner than any amount of sober and well-meant ex hortation. Now in conclusion we hope to see every school throughout Laurens County have a good library. W. Jones, Mt. Gallagher. June I6th, 1905. Furious Fifhtinf. "For seven years," writes Geo. W. Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., "I had a bitter battle, with chronic stomach and liver trouble, but at last I won, and cured my diseases, by the use of Electric Bitters.

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS. Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Oreat Service for People Who Work in LaurenB. Most Laurens people work every day in some strained, unnatural position? bending canstantly over a desk?riding on jolting wagons or cars?doing labo rious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the tdood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Laurens cures prove it. J. H. Odell of Factory Hill, Mill hand, says: "I have been suffering from backache for a long while. At times I could not work on account of the aching across the small of my back and the; dull pain gave me no rest day or night. I could not stand straight and if I sat for a hit and attempted to arise I had to catch hold of something to pull my self up. The secretions from the kid neys were very red, full of sediment and got like a jelly after they stood for a while. I could not retain them any length of time and had to rise often at night. I tried several highly recom mended remedies and used liniments, but nothing did me any good until I got a box of Doan's Pills at the Palmetto Drug Co. and used them according to directions. They gave relief almost at once and since using them the kidney secretions have gotten clear and nat ural and I do not nave to get up at nights as I used to, while the backache has all left me." Miss Willie Jones Hostess at Two Charm* lag Affairs. Miss Willie Jones, one of the leading society girls of the city gave two very charming affairs this week.

Those present were Mesdnmes Perrin Minter, W. H. Anderson, J. O. C. Fleming, W. H. Washington, Misses Tallulah Caine, Bessie Todd, Olinthia Jones, Annie Gilkerson. On Tuesday evening Miss Jones again entertained but this time the invitations were for a Whist Party, which proved to be one of the most charming func tions given this Summer. The guests spent a merry, informal evening, deli cious refreshments appearing on the card tables at the end of a hard fought game a whist.

S soldiers who served in Cuba dur ing the Spanish War know what this disease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is only one remedy however, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this remedy cured nim, as our neighbors will testify. I thank God for so valuable a medicine." For sale by Laurens Drug Co. and Dr. B.
