A Correspondent Thinks Laurens Will Vote Out the Dispensary. Editor Advertiser: With your per mission I want to say a few more words on The * All Important Topic, the dis pensary. I am delighted to see so many counties voting to put liquor out. Twelve counties have voted out the dispensary and very probably four or five more will vote it out before the legislature meets in January and with Greenwood and Marlboro will make eighteen or twenty counties for prohibition. I am glad the people are having a chance to show that they are tired of this awful evil at a time when there is no politics in it. The politicians are saying that the elections being held does not fairly indicate the will of the people, because there has not been a full vote. Every voter has had the privilege to vote and because so many stayed away from the polls it shows conclusively that they did not care to save the dispensary and are willing to have prohibition. Some say let it be settled at the next elec tion. I think that is the time it cannot be settled right. Let the thing be kept out of politics. I do hope the Legisla ture will accept the voice of the people and do away with the state feature of it and if Charleston, Richland, Sumter and Georgetown want to hold on to the dispensary let them have a county dis pensary operated and controlled by the county as in Georgia and North Caro lina. I hope the legislature will let all tbe prohibitive and restrictive features j of the present law remain in counties voting out the dispensary and that j every officer in town and county be re quired to do their duty to keep out the tigers. And if necessary we are willing to pay the one-half mill tar. to enforce the law. I am anxious to see Laurens county show to the people of South Carolina that we are a Christian peo ple and will fall in line with the other counties voting out liquor. If the Pres byterians, Baptists and Methodists of Laurens county will stand true to Christ and their fellow man we will vote it out ten to one. This election may be ?a crisis in the life of every voter. Lau rens county expects every man to do his duty. W. T. Austin, Cross Hill, S. C. Nov. 24th, '05. A Creeping Death.

Georgetown's Centeaaial Celebration. The people of Georgetown are mak ing elaborate preparations for the en tertainment of many thousands of vis itors at the Centennial celebration which will take place on December 10th.

Inasmuch as this is the event of George town's lifetime, it is likely that th event will'be made notable. HANDSOME NEW CHURCH. Methodists of Lanford are Building New Church at a Cost of $4,000.

The corner stone was laid Aug. 23 and the Church will probably be completed early in January. It is modern in architectural beauty and design and will cost about $4,000. Rev. C. B. Burns is the pastor and the fact that he closes his four year's work on that charge with so handsome a church practically finished speaks most highly of his labors'.

Terrific Race With Death. "Death was fast approaching," writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla., describing his fearful race with death, as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life. I had tried many different doctors and sev eral medicines but got no benefit until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their effect, that in three days I felt like a new man, and today I am cured of all my troubles." Guar anteed at Laurens Drug Co. and Pal metto Drug Co.

In use thirty years; several houses painted with L. & M. L. & M. costs about $1.20 per gallon. The L. & M. is the best and cheap est, because the L. & M. Zinc, hardens the L. & M.
