A RECOMMENDATION.
Electric Lights and Sewerage (or the
Court House.
The Grand Jury's report, made at the
term of general sessions court for this
county just held, is about of the usual
tenor, w'tli the exception of the follow
ing purgraphs:
We thank your Honor for calling our
attention to this matter of needed im
provements in the court house building,
if not advisable to recommend the build
" of a now one.
We would like to have the people
agitate tho matter, in order that the
question might the better be under
stood, and the proper steps to be taken,
etc. !
We do, however, recommend that the
proper authorities put electric lights in
all the county offices, and in the court
and jury rooms, and to also provide the
building with a complete system of sew
erage.
supervisor's report.
Following is the County Supervisor's
report to the court, which will be found j
of general interest:
To His Honor, the Presiding Judge,
and Foreman and Gentlemen of the
Grand Jury:
The Board of County Coii) missioners
of Laurens county beg to submit the
following report for your consideration:
county poor.
We would report the county paupers
as well cared for. The Poor House will
be under the management of Mis3 Jane
C. Starnes for the ensuing year. There
are at present eleven inmates at the
Poor House.
In addition to the regular paupers,
the county is extending aid to thirty
three old Confederate veterans in indi
gent circumstances, as provided by the
Act of 1902, in amounts ranging from
$1.50 to$3.00 each; and while the means
provided are inadequate, we are endeav
oring to do all within our power to relieve
suffering among the poor of the county.
road and bridges.
Wa would report the roads of the
county, with some few exceptions, in
good condition for the season. Most of
the road work has been done with the
county chain gang at less expense than
the same work could otherwise be done.
While the condition of our roads are not
what we would wish, still we believe
that methods being used will eventually
result in better roads.
Our bridges, with some few excep
tions, are in good condition. We of
course have some bridges out of repair,
which will be put in good condition at
the earliest possible moment.
finance.
The financial condition of the county
is good; and while the tax levies for
ordinary couuty and road purposes are
inadequate we have endeavored by judi
cious management to keep within the
limit of our appropriation for these
purposes.
We are gratified to be able to report
the retirement of $25,000.00 of our 7
per cent R. R. Bonds which will enable
us to reduce our Tax Levy for this pur
pose. About $17,000.00 of the above
amount has been accumulated during
the past three years.

We know of nothing at present seri
ously affecting the public health, and
while there were some cases of Small
Pox, the disease is now apparently
stamped out.

NATURE'S WARNING,
Laurens People Must Recognize and
Heed It,
Kidney ills come quietly?mysteriously,
But nature always warns you through |
the urine.
Notice the kidney secretions,
See if the color is unhealthy?
If there are settlings and sediment,
Passages too frequent, scanty, painful.
It's time then to use Doan's Kidney
Pills.
To ward off Bright's disease or dia
betes.
Doan's have done great work in Lau
rens.
Charles Loke, mill hand, of Factory
Hill, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills in my
opinion are the best backache cure in
this world. They cured me and I have
had backache for at least two years,
and have been so bad at times I could
not get out of bed, much less go to bed.
I have had my wife rub it with lini
ment until it was all a blister. I tried
numerous remedies, but without them
doing me one bit of good. The secre
tions from the kidneys were as red as
blood, full of sediment and I could not
hold them, especially at night when my
rest was broken on account of my hav
ing to get up a number of times. I
learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and
sent to the Palmetto Drug Co. for a
box. I did not believe they would do
any more than the other remedies I
had tried, but I was mistaken. I felt
better the very next day, and my back
gradually became strong and the ach
ing disappeared. I do not have to get
up at nights now at all and the kidneys
have become regular and natural in ac
tion.

Cure Catarrh or it Costs Nothing.
Editor of The Advertiser: In view
of the prevalence of catarrhal troubles
at this season of the year, we want to
tell your readers that we have never
sold anything that gave more satisfac
tion than Hyomei, when used in
catarrhal troubles. You get immediate
relief from the treatment, and consis
tent use will prove to every sufferer, as
it has to many of our customers,the vir
tue of l his preparation.
Personally we are interested in Hyo

and we do not want your money unless
you are benefitted and satisfied.

healing medication goes direct to the
snot where it is needed.

of a pocket inhaler, a medicine dropper,
and a bottle of Hyomei, and the price is
only $1, while additional bottles can be
obtained for 60 cents. %
We positively guarantee a cure when
Hyomei is used in accordance with di
rections, or we will refund your money.
This certainly shows our faith and be
lief in the virtues of Hyomei.
Yours very truly,

THE MUSSULMAN.
Ulm DevolloH ?m Intense nad II? la
Frond of Uta R?ll*lon.
A traveler hi Africa writes: "Tills Is
a Inud of religion. Tho Mussulman's
UttVOtloU Is Intense, ever present and
all i>orvading, bel?g uut an accessory
tacked on, as it wore, to his life to bo

"Seeing a crowd of pilgrims hound for

enduring the worst treatment that Olio
could imagine meted out to herds of

of faith that can engender such a dis

of the great empire, French subjects
from Algiers, from Morocco, and dusky
negroes who have tramped for months

Through many lands and midst many

thronged center of the maelstrom of
the Mussulman faith."
GREEK ATHLETES.
The Way They Ran and the Style of
Track They Used.
"In the foot races of the nncieut
Greeks," says a writer, "the shape of
the stadium caused a grent difference,
sluce it was not circular, but long and
narrow, with one or both ends semicir
cular. Consequently the runners had
to take a sharp turn at the end of each
lap, while except at the turn they were
running a straight course. Evidently
this turn needed much practice, for the
pictures on the old vases show athletes
practicing this one part of the race ns
a kind of drill, taking each movement
separately.
"In early times, when all the runners
turned round the same post, the turn
gave opportunities for foul play, and
there are stories of one competitor trip
ping another at the post or seizing him
by the hair to prevent his winning.
But later, In the shorter distances at
least, each ruuuer had his own track
and post to turu round, and probably
tho separate courses were roped off hi
much the same way as they arc now
In sprint races. For the start elaborate
arrangements were made aud at Olym
pia the stone slabs are still to be seen,
with the grooves at regular intervals
that had to be toed at starting.
"Greek long distauce men ran in the
most approved style of the present
day. But the sprinters apparently em
ployed a considerable amount of arm
action and took very long steps, rising
well on to the toes. Then there was the
race in armor, an event highly praised
by several of the Creek writers as a
valuable preparation for war and
Which Is supposed to explain the fa
mous running charge of the Athenians
at Marathon."
Composite I'ronouii Wtintcd.
The want of a composite pronoun to
express both "he" and "she," and, what
is sometimes more important, to ex
press neither he nor she, must have
embarrassed every one at some time or
another. There are uugranunutlcal
ways of shelving the difficulty, such as,
for Instance, by translating the con
venient French "on" as "they," when
we really mean one person who may
be either masculine or feminine. The
lack of a port mantes u word to express
both sexes without specifying either
did not, however, trouble the new maid
who approached her mistress with the
ingenious remark, "Pleaso'm, a friend
of mine has called and may I ask it
to tea?"--Loudon Chronicle.
A Point In I'unctnntlou.
For a century past, probably longer,
tho rule of the best printers aud pub
lishers has been, "Three words in the
same construction are separated by
commas." Two examples will Illus
trate the rule:
"John,.Tames and Thomas have come."
As so punctuated the first name Is
vocative, the second and third nomina
tive. Two persons have come.
"John, James, and Thomas have come."
And now the three names are nil
nominatives. Three persons have come.
The two meanings can be indies ted
otherwise only by a footnote. ? New
York Times.
A Stahborn Opening,
The bend of the household was going
through her husband's pockets the next
morning.
"What kept you out so late last
night?" she suddenly demanded.
"It was the opening of the campaign,

"Well, It didn't take three corkscrews
to open it, did it?"
