Entered at the postoflice at Laurens, S. C, as second class mall matter. LAURENS, S. C, Aug. 23. 1905. THE OLD WAY BEST. Senator Tillman has been trying to play politics decently. He has been speaking without indulgence in a great deal of demigogic appeal. He has only now and then resorted to false state ments '.in the past few weeks. The lapses were perhaps from force of habit rather than intention. Consequently his speeches have aroused no enthusiasm. Moreover, the Senator has been writing for the newspapers. He has confined himself to the employment in his com munications, also of respectful and fair words. He has been in a discus sion with Dr. George B. Cromer of Newberry. The latter has completely outclassed him. The Senator has not been able to hold his own. As long as the Senator arouses preju dice, as long as he stops at nothing, charges good men with "incipient cor ruption" and slightly regards limita tions that usually govern sincere and honorable men in public discussions he has no equal in South Carolina on the stump. It seems unfair to expect Sen ator Tillman to refrain from ruffian lan guage when he speaks and writes. He makes such a poor, pitiful show of him self when he is trying to be good. The Senator should round out his career by blackguarding and denouncing honest men and whining that he is "lied upon" by the newspapers. He has nothing to gain from the friends of Wade Hampton, whom he caused to be howled down in Aiken, his name will forever be remembered with bitterness by them and he can't win his way into the affections of those in Laurens whose fathers he caused to be insulted by their own friends. No, Senator Tillman fails, miserably fails, in the role of a high-minded and dignified statesman. Let him issue an other manifesto. Let him sow seeds of hate. Let him teach one part of the people to turn with fury on the other. Oh, he is a master of that black art. It made him governor. It made him governor again. Then it elected him Senator over a gallant old soldier of the Confederacy who is still stumping arounding on one leg. He is in high place. lie eats of the fat of the land. Let him stand to his old ways and engage in his old tricks and not try to feebly imitate. First thihg he knows, some one of his former apt pupils will step in and kick him out of the Senate while he is practicing the manners of so coarsely. But, for Heaven's sake, won't he re frain from all this canting talk about the behavior of his Spartanburg followers? It is too much to sec this man, who ac cepted whiskey samples and carried them home and used them and then boasted of it, holding up his hands in counterfeit disgust because poor old Disperser Ferguson, a humble common man, not smart and shrewd and clever as is the Senator, but wearing on his breast the cross that tells of service more honorable than Tillman ever did for South Carolina, did the same thing accepted samples. It is too much. If the father of the Dispensary, the gov ernor of the State, a great and good man, could accept samples without shame, is it any wouder that, the poor, humble, ignorant cusses and hangers on around these "moral" saloons in Spar tanburg should have trangresscd a lit tle farther and sold the samples and committed other little sins? There's Blease?he's probably a pretty hard citizen ?but he has stood by his gang. He hasn't gone back on his friends. His friends are Tillman's friends ? 1 ?'though of course Tillman has thousands of others who are as good men as the State has and who have been fooled. But those Spartanburg creatures that loafed in the beer pens and whom Blease, it is said, was trying to "put next," why they are the kind that "howled down" the Antis?that made Ben Tillman! As for Blease, he is at least not setting up that this foul Dis pensary is a holy thing, an improver of public morals; if he is, he is doing it in a mighty lame way. Tillman would ap pear better if he followed Blease or locked arms with him and stuck to the old-time game. Senator Tillman never discovered that anything was wrong in the Dis pensary until the whole world knew it. Even in 1900 when Tillman spoke throughout the State ?long after Dan Miles had left the Board of Control be cause it smelled so of rottenness?the Dispensary received only praise from its fond papa. If Ben Tillman will continue to abuse the Antis" he will stay in the Senate perhaps. Otherwise he may he beaten some time. He will need those Spar tanburg Dispensary toughs. # Raise Mules. Mr. Wess Donnon of Tylersville was in the city on Thursday and following hit. nuggy were three fine mule colts. The colts were the subject of much favorable comment and a bystander re marked to Tub Advertiser reporter that that was an industry that his pa per should advocate. The Advertiser has always advocated raising every thing that is used on the farm and some thing to sell too where practicable, and and among the things enunerated are mule colts. We advocate raising horse colts like wise, but our preference is mule colts; mules are ready for service a year be fore horses are, a large number of horse colts turnout to be only ordinary horses, while practically all home raised mules are good, and where you have three or four in a bunch it does not cost much more to raise them than it costs to raise so many sheep. LYON AND CHRISTENSEN. Messrs. Lyon and Christensen did not after all prove in Spartanburg tbat any large sum of money had been stolen or misappropriated by persons connected with the Dispensary. The investigation had to do with petty graft and grafters. The sum of money in volved in the now notorious newspaper transaction was picayune. The testi mony of bribes given and recleved for appointments of dispensers was small and mean bribery. No evidence of a theft respectable in proportions or of robbery worthy of other than a grovel ing and slow-witted villian was brought to light. True, if appointments habit ually have been purchased in Spartan burg, that the purchasers would not hesitate to recoup themselves by abus ing the regulations as to sales. A man who is taxed $400 before he is elected dispenser may be expected to conduct a blind tiger under the protection of his dispensary. At the same time, the in dividual offenses, we say, which have brought shame to the Dispensary sys tem in Spartanburg were small. But they were numerous. They were enough to disclose the existence of a "system." Messrs. Lyon and Christen sen proved the large and important fact of an atmosphere of corruption and venality in Spartanburg, which the Dis pensary has created. The reports of the investigation have discovered to the public a considerable group of persons uncommonly depraved, without self-re spect and with their sense of discrim ination between honesty and dishonesty seared. It included drunkards, bribers, bribe-takers, bullies, loud and profane swearers and others given to vice, the mention of which is never edifying, j Seldom arc so many persons of the un clean and repulsive sort forced upon the disgusted attention of South Caro linians at the same time as it was the task of Messrs. Lyon and Christensen to drag from the Dispensary slums. What these two young gentlemen have done ought to be fully understood. The work cut out for them was both nasty and dangerous. It was such that any healthy-minded man would gladly have avoided. Mingling even in an official way with the vile creatures of the Spartanburg Dispensary crew must have been sickening, but more than that, it invited a peril. Among the subjects for investigation were more than one of the kind that carry pistols and brass "knucks," who have no re gard for peace or for the principles of fair fighting, which gentlemen accept. It is a lame and impotent conclusion for a man of decency and education and character to be shot in the back by a degraded and brutish criminal, yet it was just such a fate as these gentle men in the performance of their duty dared. It was their good fortune to es caj>e any serious misadventure. The duty was well worth the doing, worth the expentiture of time and en ergy, and worth the illustration of high courage. It has demonstrated to the people of South Carolina that this Dis pensary system is the breeder of all foul moral diseases. It has exhibited it as attracting to and enmeshing a num ber of individuals in a criminal circle where vice is absolute and no law save that of the "gang" is recognized. It entrenched Tn one of the most enlight ened cities of the State, in a county which has always led in moral and civic progress, and in which the white peo ple have been in so large majority that politics have at no time suffered the taint frequently due to the presence of the negro. How the Dispensary system may implant a cancerous germ in the healthiest parts of the commonwealth, and how it may provide the stimulus to its noxious growth has been made plain to the people of the State. It is left for them to cut away the evil thing or leave it to its further deadly increase. Messrs. Lyon and Christensen have ful filled their contract. Fraud Exposed.

He wouldn't be bossed by any man. He had no thought above getting his pay. He thought it smart to deceive his employer. He thought himself too good for the place. He wouldn't do more than his share of the work. He imagined that the world owed him a living. He would not do more than he was paid for doing. He took no interest in the welfare of his employer. He began work by inclination and quit work by the clock. He forgot his business too often and his habits not often enough. He was more interested in quitting work than he was in doing it well. He grumbled if told to do it in some other way than he wanted to do it. He paid more attention to the deft rolling of his cigarette than he did to keeping stock. He was such a good fellow after hours that he did not feel like being a good fellow during hourp. He thought his working hours were merely time to be spent going out with the boys and nursing a headache in the morning.?The Commoner. Poisons in Food.

Isaacson and Moses were rivil cloth iers, who kept shops situated in the same street and opposite each other. It was their frequent practice to stand at their shop doors and solicit the custom of passers-by and occasionally irritate each other by personal remarks. One morning Moses shouted to Isaac son: "Go in, you great booby, and take that ugly face wid you. You might as well stick a donkey at the door." Isaacson replied: "I did that one day last week, Mr. Moses, but de peoples passing by only smiled and said to it, 'Good day, Mr. Moses, good day. I see you haf removed from de oder side.'

The thousands of discouraged people who dread the approach of summer be cause they have hay fever, and cannot find any relief from it, will read with interest and gratitude the following statement from Helen S. Williams of Mansfield, Mass. "For 27 years, from the month of August until heavy frost, I have been afflicted with hay fever, growing worse and worse each year, until of late years I was unable to attend to my work during that period. "Last summer I fortunately gave Hyomei a trial, and I am happyto say that it entirely cured me, and I have had no occurrence of the disease since." since." This letter is only one of many that have come to the proprietors of Hyo mei, and the results following this treatment have been so remarkable that it is proposed at the annual con vention of hay fever sufferers to re commend Hyomei. By breathing the germ-killing and healing balsams of Hyomei, anyone can have at any moment of the day, either in their home or office, a climate like that of the White Mountains. The complete outfit costs but $1, ex tra ^bottles, 50 cents. The Laurens Drug Co. agree to refund the money to any hay fever sufferer who uses Hyomei without benefit. A Qnrrr Huti.tx.w N n pr in?

THE HOLE OF H AMLET MANY FAMOUS ACTRESSES ESSAYED IT AND FAILED. Kvrn Ihr Glf?e?l Surnh Sl.I.lonn und ?Im- llrtlltnnt ( hnrl??i- ? uali dim it Wrre Not Rqual to the Taik-Anna LtlcUlnaon In tl>? Tart. Although many of tho cleverest ac tressei the world has known have es sayed tlie part, they have, with few exceptions, fulied In It. liven Sarah Slddons, probably tho greatest tragic actress of all time, was o failure as Hamlet, largely owing to the nondescript nature of her garments, which were neither masculine nor femi nine and Willen made It almost Impos sible to forget that her Handel was a woman and not a man, nays London Tit-Bits. Charlotte Cushmau wns perhaps tho most brilliant player of male parts of her or, Indeed, of any other generation. She was equally brilliant and convinc ing as Homeo, Cardinal Wolsey or Claude Melnotte, but when she made the crucial experiment of playing the melancholy Dane even she prov*ed unequal to the task. In fact, her Ham let was so badly received In Dublin thst she there and then mndc up her mind never to play It again. And yet her Homeo was such a tri umph of acting that .Tames Sheridan Kuowlea, the great dramatist and crit ic, was completely carried nway by It. Of her acting of the passage where Ho meo flings himself upon the ground, "taking the measure of nn unmado grave," be says: "It was a scene of top most passion, not ?1 undated passion; no SUch thing-real, palpably renl. The genuine heart storm was on In Its wild est fullness of fury, and I listened ami gar.ed and held my breath, while my blood ran hot and cold. I am sure It must have been the case with every one In the house, but I was all ab sorbed In Homeo till a thunder of ap plause recalled me to myself." And of her assumption of the difficult part of Claude Melnotto In "The Lady of Lyons" Justin McCarthy says: "I have seen Claude Melnotte played by many great actors, from Macready to Irving, but Miss Coshman cellpsed them all. Hhe created for me the ouly human, the only possible and the only endurable Claude Melnotte I have ever seen." Miss Julia Seaman, a once popular actress, was so severely criticised when she played Hamlet some years ago that she turned round on her critics and an nailed them In a very vigorous manner. The late Miss Marriott, who had one of the most beautiful voices ever heard on any stage, wo? more fortunate, al though It was one of her least success ful assumptions, and In the fifties an American actress, Miss Percy Knowles, made such an unfortunate exhibition of herself as the melancholy one that a country manager actually Issued a no tice warning his patrons against going to see her. Ellen 'Free (Mrs. Charles Kean) was the Qrst to put on Hamlet's doublet and hose; Mrs. Glover won Edmund Kean's approval by her playing of the pnrt, and Mine. Sarah Bernhardt gave a picturesque nnd clever rendering of Hamlet, although It was not to be com pared with many of her brilliant as sumptions. Charlotto Crampton was noted for her clever acting of masculine parts, which woidd have been even more con vincing If she had not l>een such a tiny woman. "There Is a woman," Mac ready once said, referring to her, "who two Inches taller." She wns such a magnificent swordswoman that few men cared to try their skill against her on the stage, and she was undoubtedly a genius In her way, with a courage commensurate with her skill. Hhe wos one of the finest personators of Richard HI. ever seen on the stage, her Bhyloek was among the most bril liant pieces of acting In her day, and she was almost equally clever as Ingo. Homeo and Don Caesar de Hazan, and yet when Charlotte Crampton chal lenged criticism with Hamlet she fail ed ns signally as her rival, Charlotte Cushmon, had done. Probably tho most successful of all lady Hamlets was Anna Dickinson, who made considerable reputation ns Macbeth and Clnudo Melnotto. "A number of women have tried Hamlet," she snld. "None, I believe, with any success. Yet. In my opinion, tbo char acter of Hamlet Is eminently suited for a woman's copnbllltles. Hnmlet was very young -a mere college boy, In fact. Resides, a flno actress Is more likely to bring out the wonderful wo manlike delicacy of Hamlet's charac ter thon a very young actor." And sha supported her views by giving an at tractive and clever rendering of the pnrt. Crlunllnr. In the World of Fashion of 1880 Is a reference to "the new stuff called crinoline."

Talks On Advertising How Shall We Know Good Copy? /~|OOD Copy can be known only the Goods it is actually known to Sell, ? Mr. Advertiser! Don't care how "Bright," how "Catchy," nor how "Attractive" the copy is, or is not. What we want to know is how much Goods will it Sell, per dollar of cost, through Ratailers, or by Mail? Selling-Power is the only quality we recognize as Good, in Advertising. No mere "Keeping the Name before the People" will satisfy our standards. No mere "Trade Stimulus" nor "Gen eral Influence on Sales" will wc recog nize as real Advertising worth what it costs. No evasion of the Grand Issue?Sales manship?is permitted nor attempted in the Lord & Thomas Advertising Agency. The Ad-smith whose copy won't ac tually and positively ill Goods enough to pay for the Spa c it fills, with a handsome profit on it to the Man who pays the Bills, is working for some other Agency. But "how can we know copy which will positively sell goods before it is published at the Advertiser's ex pense?"?you ask. ? ? a Well, this is how we know it, Mr. Advertiser! About one-fourth of the Advertising we place annually is Mail Order Adver tising, for about 86 different clients. Every single insertion of each Mail Order Advertisement has been keyed separately, in each publication. We thus know precisely how much each In quiry for goods Costs, from each differ ent piece of Copy, in each Medium. This information we record accurately in our our "Record of Results." Then, wc compare the Cost of Selling each line of Mail Order goods through the different kinds of copy used, and we find a wonderful consistency in the figures. A kind of Copy which produces In 1 quiries at low Cost for one proposition, 1 we find produces Inquiries for another i entirely different proiwsition in the ; same ratio of low cost. And the kind of Copy which Costs : three times as much per Inquiry, in the ! same publication, for one proposition ; will, we find, cost practically in the same high ratio on all other propositions. The compilation of this data, cover ing a period of years, on a large variety of Mail Order accounts, has given us a reliable means of knowing just what kind of copy Sells the most goods for a given investment in space. It also affords us a reliable index to the relative Earning-Power of different publications, using the same kind of Copy, at the same period of the year. But, Ix>rd & Thomas investigation through this "Record of Results" has gone farther than testing out Mail Or der Copy. Because, when the qualities, in Copy, that produced consistently large Results in Mail Order Advertising had been located and isolated, these same quali ties were then applied to Copy for Gen eral Advertising of Goods to be sold1 through Retailers. ? Our "Record of Results" thus shows j that the something which made a given j kind of Copy sell goods nt lowest cost by mail also made it sell goods at lowest cost through Retailers. These qualities were "Reason-Why and Conviction" saturated into the! Copy, and presented in certain thought forms that strike the most responsive! chord with average Readers of Adver- 1 tisements. The combination of these qualities, evolved through our "Record of Re sults," is a formula as exclusive with Lord & Thomas as the formula of the famous Liquer Chartreuse is with the Monks who control its secret. This kind of Copy wc call "Lord & Thomas' Salesmanship-on-paper.'' The relative Selling-Power of each piece of thi8 copy we can judge in ad vance, by comparing it with Results obtained previously through kindred kind of Copy, used for equivalent Prop ositions, as registered and compared in our "Record of Results." What this "Record of Results" means to your Advertising can be only vaguely suggested in this article. But the subject is fully and clearly covered in our "Book of Advertising Tests" which will be published June 20th. Its price is $5.00 per copy to all but General Advertisers and Mail Orders Advertisers. Any of those two latter classes may have one copy, free of charge, if a request for it reaches us promptly be fore the limited edition is fully pledged.
