"Efforts have been on foot to adjust the litigation in which all of the Lucas interests have united with some of those allied with the Millikens, but they have failed, Mr. Milliken rejecting the basin proposed by the Lucas party, and assented to by some of his friends. The Lucas party nave also repeatedly presented 'give and take' offers. They offered to purchase all of the shares of the Milliken party at $170,or to sell all of their shares at $170, leaving to the Milli kens the option of buying or selling. This was rejected. Then they offered to buy Milliken stock at $175 a share and again at $180 a share, but at the same time of fering to sell their shares at $170. All these offers were rejected. At present no negotiations for a settlement are pending and the litigation will con tinue. ?News and Courier. Meanwhile the stock of the Laurens Mills is quoted at only $160. Of course no minority stock-holder dare buy it while the Millikens have a chance to control. They believe it worth $180 a share with Lucas in control but the Millikens believe it worth only $160 a share with themselves in control. The general public will pay only $160. with the Millikens fighting for control. Hence tho minority stock-holders lose practically $20 the share if not more on account of the want of public confi dence in the Millikens. Why do we say this? Because the .?dock of the Watts Mills, the only Lu cas mill in which the Millikens have no interest, is steadily rising in value.hav ing recently gone up $10 or $15 the share, while that of Laurens and Dar lington have not gone up at all?though both are making money. The public is afraid that the Millikens will gain control. The facts of the market are stronger than the Milliken affidavits. THE HEPBURN BILL. Senator Tillman in a speech on Feb ruary 12 pronounced the Hepburn bill "a maze of words through which you can stumble and every man will disa gree as to what it means." In the same speech he declared it a bill through which not merely an automobile but a freight train could be driven. In that speech he also said: "It is a bill which had many wise lawyers and patriotic statesmen en gaged in framing it, which came origin ally to us from the Attorney General under the very wing of the President, everybody with any wisdom in law in the republican party consenting, so to Bpeak, in writing it, and saying, 'Here, Pete, pass this,' but when Pete gets up to explain it he wabbles about through the bill and swears things are in it which nobody else can see, and swears things are not in it which everybody who knows the English language can see are in it. Why, then, should I not be suspicious?" This is the bill in charge of which Aldrich, Foraker and the other Repub lican "Railroad Senators" placed Sena tor Tillman. Possibly they knew what they were doing. m WHY NOT MULES? Ten years ago a farmer could buy a big fine young Western mule on the market here from $125 to $150. Such a mule now costs from $250. to $300. Ten years ago a Laurens farmer could raise such a mule for $150 4 or less. Mules never could be bought cheaper than they could be raised in Laurens. It costs less to raise mules in Laurens now than ever before. Why? Because the pastures are better and the lands have been improved and hay and grain crops are more economically produced. If a mule raised now at a cost of $125 will sell for $250 it follows that there are from two to three bales of ten cents cotton clear profit in every Laurens raised mule. Why then do not Laurens farmers raise more mules? # ADMIRABLE CANDOR. Tho Sumter Item, which favors the Dispensary, says: "Senator Tillman who wnsin Colum bia Thursday is quoted as saying that the dispensary people should get to gether and organize on the same basis as the prohibition people." Senator Tillman is right. The cen tral and paramount idea of Senator Tillman's politics so far as South Caro lina is concerned is State whiskey. It is the clear right and duty of the State whiskey party to hold a Convention, or ganize and nominate a full ticket?the fuller the better. We shall have more respect for the Dispensary leaders when they come out into the open un der a State whiskey flag. * The Pec Dee people are as usual talk ing about what the Pee Dee ought to hove in the way of offices. Why don't they bring out a man who would de servo to win because he is a South Carolinian, who would reflect distingu ished credit on the whole State? If Henry Mulhns of Marion should of fer for attorney general it would not be necessary for him to explain that he is a "Pee Dee man." The people of all parts of the State would soon find out that they need him ?because there are mighty few his equals in character and ability and because men of his type in public life are useful to Greenville, Abbeville and Laurens no less than to Marlboro and Chesterfield. But wo arc inclined to remark in dis gust that we arc opposed to any man described by his friends as a "Pee Dee," "Piedmont" or "Low Country" or "Up Country" man. A man whose personality is not bigger than a dis trict is too small for a State office. Meanwhile we wish the State of South Carolina would insist upon hav ing the services of Mr. Henry Mullins who attends to his business in Marion and who is an informed and liberal minded gentleman. ? Governor Heyward has chosen for the Jamestown Exposition Commis sioner from this congressional district the best man available. His name is Frank Evans. He is a school teacher who never fails to do the work of a pa triotic citizen when his services are needed. He docs not inquire what the majority want but docs what his con science tells him to do. He will be no figure head commissioner. He will got results. We do say that the Governor surely made a happy selection?we be lieve that he could not have made any other quite so good for this particular service to South Carolina. Convincing Arguments. The New York Times prints the fol lowing incident concerning Alabama's gifted Senator Morgan, as related by himself: "The other afternoon I was sitting at home with nothing special to occupy me, and I picked up an old volume of The Congressional Record. I opened it at random and hit upon the mi ddle of speech, which I began to read. Very soon I became interested, and as I pro ceeded I said to myself, "This man is making a very sensible talk." 1 found myself quite in accord with his views, ahd read along with a good deal of ap proval until I nad finished two pages. I was wondering who could hove made such a speech, but was too much inter ested to look back to And out. But as I turned the page I came upon an in terruption, and there was my own name given, as the senator making the re ply. It was my own speech I had been reading." This reminds us of an incident which occurred a good many years ago, in this State. Col. B. W. Ball, the brilliant Laurens lawyer, had a particularly hard case to defend. The evidence all seemed to be against his client, but Col. Ball worked out a most ingenious defence and presented it to the jury in a most and convincing manner. As he sat down, a brother attorney came around to congratulate him on his magnificent effort. "Well." said the Colonel, "a while ago I thought my client may be guilty, but since I heard my speech, I am satisfied he is innocent." The jury took the same view of the case and the man was set free. ?Spartanburg Jour nal. Hives are a terrible torment to the little folks, and to some older ones. Easily cured.

Holleman of Anderson has been appointed State Bank Ex aminer, a position created by the legis lature at its last session. The appointment was made by Gov. Heyward upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee of the State Bankers' Association. The salary is $3,000, which will be paid by the banks of the State. Mr. Holleman will be allowed an as sistant, whose salary is fixed at $1,500. The term of olfice is four years. HEAVY FERTILIZER SALES. Indicate an Increased (iotton Acreage for 1906. Columbia, March 12.?Judging from the unprccedently congested condition of freight traffic on all the roads in this state?and the railroad people say that similar conditions prevail through out the South?farmers and merchants believe 1906 will be the best year in the history of this section, and a greatly increased acreage of cotton is going to be planted. The movement of fertilizer is the heaviest in the history of the roads here, but the congestion is by no means due only to the movement of fertilizer. Manufactured goods from the North and West has been coming in heavily several weeks, and now fer tilizer is blocking the way. But there is no car famine, strange to say. There are plenty of "empties" to supply all demands on all the roads, because of the great amount of foreign cars in this territory which have just been unloaded and ought in the ' gular order of things to be on their way back home. Some idea of the difference between the movement this year and last year may be gained from the statement which a railroad man made to a Colum bia correspondent today that the South ern alone handled 30,314 cars through its yards here in Columbia din ing the month of January as against 15,214 cars the same month last year. The February report is not yet available, but it is believed it will show a still greater difference. Tho Columbia yards arc so crowded it is almost impos sible to do shifting with anything like dispatch. And every sidetrack through out this section is more or less crowded, the full cars waiting to be unloaded. At many of these stations no more cars can be handled which further compli cates matters. "I think it a safe statement to make," said the railroad man, "that the South-' ern aione has 5,000 cars tied up be tween Washington and Savannah on account of sidetracks at small stations being crowded. No, there is no fault to be found with the condition of the engines. There is simply an endless amount of shifting to be done in this situation. The Southern has just got ten in direct from the Baldwin shops two fine new shifting engines for the Columbia yards." Seaboard and Coast Line officials tell the same sort of story. Superintendent Williams, of the Sa vannah division of tho Southern, is im proving the main lines of his division by laying heavier rails. This ought to quicken schedules and facilitate freight traffic as well. The seventy-pound rails from Charlotte through to Columbia to Savannah aro being substituted with eighty-pound rails, about fifteen miles of the new rails being laid each way from Columbia. Twenty-nine miles of seventy-pound rails have been laid be tween here and Spartanburg, taking the place of sity-pound rails. New rails are being rapidly distributed on all three of these lines and the complete renewal of the lines will bo pushed rapidly. A household necessity?Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil.

In how short a time a tree can be converted into a newspaper was tried recently in England. At 7.35 A. M., three trees were felled and taken to a local paper factory. By 9.34 the first sheet of paper issued from the ma chines. The printing works of the near est newspaper were about two miles distant. The paper was carried there in a motor car at full speed. The presses set to work, and exactly at 10 A. M. the newspaper was printed. The whole process from the forest to the reader thus occupied only the space of two hours and twenty-five minutes.

Hyomci a Scientific Treatment for Ca tarrh by Breathing Medicated Air. Ever since Hyomei has been known, its formula has been given to physi cians, druggists, and, in fact, to all in telligent people who could appreciate the true merit of the combination of healing gums, oils, and balsams of which it is composed. Many leading physicians endorse Hyomei and prescribe it for catarrhal troubles. In fact, quite a few of them use it themselves to breakup a cold and prevent pneumonia. They regard it as a natural, yet scientific way of curing catarrh. Breathed through the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, Hyomei destroys all catarrhal germs in the air passages of the throat and nose, soothes and heals the irritated mucous mem brane and effectually drives from the system all traces of catarrhal poison. No one should confound Hyomei with the patent medicines that are adver tised as catarrh cures. It is as superior to them all as the diamond is more valuable than cheap glass. The complete Hyomei outfit, consist ing of a neat pocket inhaler, a medi cine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei costs but $1, and extra bottles can be obtained for r>0 cents,* making it the most economical method of curing ca tarrh, as well as the most reliable. The Laurcns Drop Co. have sold a great many Hyomei outfits and have seen such remarkable results from its use, that they sell it under an absolute guarantee that it costs nothing unlesa it cures.
