DISTRICT ATTORNEY JOHN G. CAPERS. He Will Not be Judge and May Not be Reappolnted to the Position He Now Holds! Washington, Jan. 15. ? President Roosevelt, it is stated, on the best au thority, has told District Attorney Capers that he will not be appointed to the Judgeship in case provision for a new Federal Judge for South Carolina is made by Congress. There is some doubt, also, about Mr. Capers being re appointed to the position he now holds. Tho term of District Attorney Capers ended on December 16. ThenjL has as yet been no reappointment, for the rea son that an investigation is being made against Mr. Capers. At the department of justice It is ac knowledged that formal charges have been filed affecting the efficiency and character of Mr. Capers. What these are, or who filed them, the department will not disciose. They arc of a char acter, however, calling for investiga tion, and this is under way. It is the President's purpose to re appoint Mr. Capers to his present posi tion, unless this investigation should disclose facts that make such reappoint ment impossible. TOWNSHIP RAILROAD BONDS. Supreme Court Decides That They Must be Paid. Washington, Jan. 15.?The case of Gra ham and Marsh, the former Auditor and the latter Treasurer of Greenwood county, S. C, vs. S. Allen Folsom and others, has been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, adversely to the county. The opinion of the court was delivered by Justice McKenna and affirmed the decision of the United States Court for the District of South Carolina. The action was brought to compel the payment of interest on $18,000 worth of bonds issued by town ship Ninety Six of Abbeville, after wards Greenwood county, South Caro lina, to aid in the construction of the Greenville and Port Royal Railroad. The road was never constructed, but the Circuit Court held for Folsom on the ground that he was an innocent purchaser. The case involved the val idity of a South Carolina state Ipw, di recting that taxes should not be collect ed to pay bonds given on railroads that were never built, but the court held that the obligation of contract could not be thus impaired. Christmas at Watts Mills. The Rev. W. D. Hammett writes the Baptist Courier: It was quite a joyful occasion with the Watts Mill Church and Sunday School on last Saturday night before Christmas. A well filled Christmas tree and well trained children with ad dresses suitable to a Christmas offering was given to as many or more people than could find room in our building. Miss Ellis, our lady missionary, was quite efficient in the training of the children for the occasion; all the chil dren acted their part and spoke this Christmas greetings with exactness and very impressively. On Wednesday, one week before the time, they began to train and prepare the children, but all was a success, and above all let me say among quite a number of the receivers of many nice presents. I was presented with a nice overcoat by the Watts Mills Church. This was quite a treat to their pastor, who was ready for the emergency. We are very proud of our little Watts mills school and I expect to give them two full Sundays another year. Pray for us that it nvey be the best of all. W. D. Hammett. 100 Years Old. A frame house can be kept in good order for 100 years if painted with the L. & M. Paint about once in ten to fif teen years. This is because the L. & M. Zinc, hardens the L & M. White Lead and gives the paint extraordinary life. It also makes it cover an enor mous surface, so that four gallons L. & M. and three gallons Linseed Oil will paint a moderate sized house. L. & M, costs about $1.20 per gallon. James S. Barron, President Manches ter Cotton Mills, Rock Hill, S. C, writes: "Twenty-two years ago I painted my residence with L. & M. It looks bet ter than a great many houses painted three years ago. L. & M. costs about $1.20 per gallon. Seven gallons at $1.20 per gallon, or $8.40 will paint a moderate sized house and it takes seven gallons of other mixed paint at $1.50 to do it. because Linseed Oil sold to you as paint costs you $1.50 a oallon. It only costs you 60 cents a gallon when you buy it fresh the barrel and mix it with L. & M. BIENNIAL SESSIONS. Committee Has Reported the Impractica? bility of Carrying Out the Plan -Many Defects Pointed Out. . Columbia, Jan. 11.?The joint com mittee of both Houses made a report to-day adverse to instituting the bi ennial session law because of conflicts with other provisions of the constitu tion. Following are the reasons for this action: While the amendment was correctly entered on the journal of the Senate it was not on the journal of the House and House journal was quoted in substantia tion. It was held by the committee that as this was required by tho consti tution the amendment could not have been ratified. Further, there aro other constitutional provisions which would have to be amended in order to carry out the biennial session idea. The next session under the amendment would be held in 1908, whereas officers of State will be elected this year, and unless there was a session in 1907 they could not be in stalled. There are provisions referring to filling vacancies by the Governor and he can so fill them only for one year, while the term might be for two years. An annual tax is proposed, and that cannot be continued under the biennial session plan. The committee says there are at least four constitutional provisions which would have to be adopted before bien nial sessions could be inaugurated with out conflict with other provisions. The committee declares, therefore, that the whole matter will have to be re-sub mitted, and for that purpose the com mittee w?l submit the necessary bill. No action was taken on the report, but it will be printed and disposed of later. Women love a clear, healthy com plexion. Pure blood makes it. Burdock Blood Bitters makes pure blood.

Most Laurens people work every day in some strained, unnatural position bending constantly over a desk?riding on jolting waKons or cars?doing labori ous housework; lifting, reaching or pull ing, 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 hehind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Lau rens cures prove it. J. H. Odell, of Factory Hill, Hill Mill hand, says: "I have been suffer ing 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 mo no rest day or night. I could not stand straight and if I sat for a bit and attempted to arise I had to catch hold of something to pull myself up. The secietions from the kidneys were very red, full of sedi ment and got like a jelly after they stood for a while. 1 could not retain them any length of time and had to rise often at night. I tried several highly recommended remedies and used liniments, but nothing did me any good until I got a box of Doan's Kidney 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 natural and I do not have to get up at nights as I used to, while the backache has all left me."

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Qiftnature LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN Hyomei Inhaler that is Guaranteed by Laurens Drug Co. to Cure Catarrh. Thousands who have been cured by Hyomei, call the inhaler that comes with every outfit "The little pocket physician, as it is so small that it cun be carried in the pocket or purse. Prior to the discovery of Hyomei, statistics showed that at least 97 out of every 100 persons in this state were suf fering from catarrh in some form. The remarkable results following the use of Hyomei are shown by the smaller per centage today of people suffering from catarrh. There is really no excuse whatever for anyone having catarrh now that Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If you have any doubts about its value, Laurens Drug Company will let you have a complete outfit with the under* standing that unless it cures catarrh, it will not cost you a cent. A complete Hyomei outfit consists of "the little pocket physician," a medi cine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei, and costs only $1, while additional bot tles of Hyomei can be procured for 50 cents, making it the most economical, as well as the most reliable treatment for the cure of catarrh. Do not delay longer tho use of Hyomei, if you have catarrh. This is a purely local disjase, and Hyomei goes right to the spot where the catarrhal germs ore present, destroys them, soothes and heals all inflamation, and makes a permanent and lasting cure.
