"If you want revenge Just look lit her with one of those short wnlstod, pudgy daughters on either side at the asHembly and not a man on the horizon." "M-m!" said the aggrieved one. "Yes, she does look funny; but, my dour, did you realfze you said 'On olther nlde' Instead of 'on each aide?' Of course If they werv on either side thoy"d- well, they couldn't be, you see!

"Two hundred children!" cried the queen, astounded. "How can you pos sibly malutnln such a number?" "Busily enough, ploacte your majes ty," replied tlK> prelate, with a cheer ful unitle.

DANGER SIGNAL NO 1 comes from the kidney secretions. They will warn you when the kidneys are sick. Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin, pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill-smelling urine, full of sediment and irregular of passage. DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes from the back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of sick kidneys and warn you of the com ing of dropsy, diabetes and Brigbt's disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them pernamently. Here s Laurens proof: Robert Sexton, wheelwright and blacksmith, of 202 Laurcns Street, says: "I can recommend Doan's Kid ney Pills for what they did for me. They cured me of a very severe case of backache from which 1 had suffered greatly and could find no relief. A nasty dull aching across the loins both ered me day and night and when through with the business cares of the day to go to bed and get a good night's sleep was something I had not been able to do for a long time. The secre tions from the kidneys gave me trou ble, were dark colored, strong and full of sediment and disturbed my rest at night on account of their too' frequent action. I used numerous medicines and wore plasters without beneficial re sults. Seeing Doan'r Kidney Pills ad vertised I went to the Palmetto Drug Co.'s store and got a box. The change for the better was noticeable almost at once, and since using two boxes of them according to directions my back has not ached, the secretions have be come normal and I do not have to get up at night at all. I foci fifteen year, younger than I did before 1 used Doan's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

Say Hyomei Will Give Relief?Sold Under Guarantee. The season for hay fever is almost at hand, and many people feel that they will be obliged'to go away in or der to avoid the sneezing, watery eyes, and other annoying symptoms of this disagreeable summer disease. The Laurens Drug Co. wish to an nounce that when Hyomei is used as a preventive, or a cure, there will be no hay fever. They advise daily treat ment with Hyomei for two or three weeks before the usual time for the appearance of hay fever. If this is done, the attack will be prevented.? However, if the preventive treatment is not started soon enough, and the dis ease makes its appearance, use Hyo mei six or seven times daily, and relief will be given at once. There is no stomach dosing when Hyomei is used. Breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, its medicated air reaches the minutest air cells, killing all germs and healing the irritated mucous mem brane. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1, extra bottles 50 cents. It is the only treatment for hay fever sold by Laurens Drug Co. under a guarantee to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction. SENATOR TILLMAN AT GREENVILLE. Spoke at Fourth of July Celebration. DISPENSARY SYSTEM. He Says Wail and Vote on Dispensary Question in a General Primary. Senator Tillman spoke at the Fourth of July celebration in Greenville last Tuesday, delivering a speech on agri culture. About 2,000 people heard him. After proceeding for a while with his speech he was urged by some of his auditors to give them something be sides points on farming and selling cot I ton. They wanted to hear one of his old time political speeches. But the senator spoke under mental restraint and stuck to his text pretty well all the way through. At one time, break ing off from his line of thought, he referred to McLaurin and then had this to say about the dispensary: "The real fight on the dispensary will be in the Democratic primary when those not registered and who arc de prived of the right of voting under the Brice law will be entiled to vote ? There are 30,000 men in South Carolina who can't vote under the Brice law. You have got no business fooling with the dispensary until the primary. Let all of the people determine it. I will say this however, that we have got to put the dispensary in the skillet to scald and clean it, and if we can't do that then I'm in for killing it. If it's rotten they've made iL rotton. I'll bo in the race next year for the Senate if my health don't break down and I'll see the men who are trying to mur der it by underhanded methods. I will meet them teeth to teeth. I have al ways called a spade a spade, and if it is true that I have been tamed by my stay in the Senate it was because I had to mingle with mummies. But. now if you want to settle the dispensary, let's wail and vote it out of the State, not out of a few counties. The latter plan will give you a sort of negative prohi bition. After the dispensary you will get prohibition and what next?" Voice: "Blind tigers." "Why that fellow speaks now as if he was one them," Tillman replied. "Yes, you will have free liquor. Some of you will get it shipped in in jugs, and the school fund will be cut and other things will happen. Then the people will cry for high license. Thai in its essence is the old bar-room sys tem with constitutional limitations. I want to say here that there is no war rant under the law for those beer dis pensaries. They are just ordinary low saloons. The dispensary lias been made an evil by the Legislature. W. L. Boyd, Laurens, S. C. Who sells the L. & M.
