Two years ago we retarded it entirely unfeasible to undertake a hospital in a small town. |.^Wc supposed that people who could afford hospital treatment would want to go to those with the large?t reputa tion, and those in little towns could ot be HuaiuineQ. n is now modified only ac the exigencies that have n. This is a day of specialties the family doctor must not be ex ed to know everything in sugery as as physic. Besides the day has n the sick can not bo properly in the home. A case of scri ess in a home completely in tea every member of the house all duties connected with isiness and if it can be at all afforded c services of a trained nurse is se ined. This makes illness a good deal more expensive than if the patient uld be transferred to a convenient pital and further they could be cared l more satisfactorily where g was provided with that Now we are not going to advocate establishment of a hospital in Lau rens as a money making machine. We ioubt if it should pay a dividend to the Shareholders for a number of years, but the natural increase in value of any property that it should acquire would be a fair profit for the institution and those who subscribe to the fund would tytho satisfaction of having done a uuxolliish thing; besides you or ours may be the first to receive a jo no fit from it. Some persons better informed on h'ese matters than we think that a hos al will yield a financial return in five Jars. We hope such will be l he result it if it is only self supporting we will done a great deal for humanity ftPfor ourselves in particular if we should establish one. Theru are hundreds of operations that our doctors could do as well here as [hey can be done by any surgeon in the pul wore the conditions favorable, operations as require more expert jons can be done by those from na or elsewhere who could co.nc the purposes and after the Lion return to their work leaving [ho patient to be nursed back to health ramong their friends and kindred. Thousands of dollars have been paid out in hospital fees by the citzens of Laurens County in the last few years that might have been kept at home. jTHE TELEGRAPHER'S STRIKE. pe strike of the telegraphers bring ire the public the whole question of bn labor. The telegraphers may ^ain some concessions but the general (pinion is that they will gain nothing. iq strike was inaugurated in thevari js cities by the local unions without Tders from the national union's offi cers and at the time when those ofli 'eors were conferring or about to confer with Labor Commissioner Neill and others in the hope of effecting a settle ment of the pending dispute. The bus iness of the country was tied up with out the public having received fair no tico and it seems that the strikers have not received much sympathy. The commercial telegraphers un doubtedly are underpaid. At the same time, the telegraphers 83 a rule, at least those here in the South, are not thoroughly trained men. The compa nies pay so little that a man of fair ed ucation is not tempted to enter the ser vice. We do not question the right of per sons to forming labor unions but the trouble is that the individual member surrenders his conscience to the will of the officers or to the majority. Take the case of the Association Press ope rators. These men are of a high order of intelligence and they work hard but their work has little responsibility at jched to it - no more than has that of stenographer who takes letters from [dictation. They receive about $1,000. a year. How many bank presidents in ^aurens county get as much? Now these operators deserted their posts ilast week practically without any no tice. Three quarters of an hour before quit work themselves, thought Lhat they would not be called upon to drikc that night. Then they walked ^ut and tho newpapcrs were of course dplcss, forced to pay for telegraphic jports which there was nobody to re low these Associated Operators, ling them individually couldn't help They felt kindly to the newpapcrs. >y didn't want to hurt the newspa But they had sworn an oath to orders and when the order came, fchcnf to quit work or per imselvea. Yet tho quitting notice was unquestionably a wrong to the newspapers, caus lem largo losses in money and un iconvenicnce. The quitting was thing, a very wrong thing to id many of the operators know it Idmit it but, they say we had to I our oaths. So the matter resolves into this: May a man surrender ich of his freedom of action to that he may do a wrong thing at \mand of others without incurr t? May men escape responsi God and their fellow men by ether and attempting to msibility from their Individval shoulders onto the shoulders of the society? We hope that the strike will end by the commercial telegraphers getting better wages and shorter hours. As for the press operators, they took advan tage of their employers when they were already in trouble and really have no grievance of a substantial charac ter. Consequently, they are receiving little sympathy from anybody and they are sure to lose their fight. Many of them did not strike and the Associated Press is already getting on smoothly with many new men. The sorrowful part of it is that many good men with these $1,600. jobs, act ing on impulse and finding themselves entangled by the oaths to their order, struck and are now idle, and idleness means the loss of nearly five dollars a day. Besides, most of them will, when the strike ends, find their jobs gone and will be compelled to accept jobs at smaller salaries. LAURENS, GhORGIA AND PROHIBITION. While Thk Advereiser is firmly convinced that it is expedient for Lau rens County to abolish the sale of whis key, it is not especially desirous to agi tate the question. Nevertheless, there is something that we insist upon say ing. Every South Carolina county adjacent to Laurens has prohibition and one of them, Greenwood, has never had a law ful liquor shop. Every man of common sense knows that while some whiskey is illicitly sold in these counties, the traffic has been reduced to a minimum so that drunkeness has been in large measure eliminated. There is not one fiftieth part of the whiskey sold in Spartanburg now that was sold in the dispensary days. Not long ago a news paper man of Greenville used this lan guage to the editor of The Adverti ser: "As for me, 1 am a prohibitionist. Why, in the dispensary days it seemed as though wo would have a murder every Saturday night in Greenville. Now they hardly ever occur." The Advertiser is not a prohibi tionist on principle and has never been. In some places we think that licensed saloons are most expedient. We think that prohibition is best for Laurens be cause it can be enforced in Laurens and we believe the majority of the best people, esj>ecially of the intelligent, hard-working, debt-paping and money making farmers who were and arc en thusiastic followers of Senator Ben Tillman, think that prohibition will im prove labor conditions as well as pro mote law and order in this county. What we started out to speak of is the passage of a state prohibition law in Georgia which will go into effect on the first day of next January. This will make it much easier to enforce prohibition in Laurens. There will be no saloons or liquor stores in Augusta, Atlanta and other Georgia cities. Most of the North Carolina counties have prohibition. The time has come, or will come with the beginning of the new year, when the importation of whiskey for personal use even will be attended with more inconvenience than ever. Under these conditions, it is practically certain that prohibition can be enforced satisfactorily in Laurens. j We have no objection to a man j favoring the dispensary but he can no longer cl&im to be a prohibitionist on principle and vote for dispensaries "as the best solution." In a few months it will be ridiculous to say that prohibition cannot be en forced in Laurens as well as the laws against assault and battery and petty larceny are now enforced. Let us not deceive ourselves. If we retain dispensaries in Laurens, let us be frank enough to admit that we do not wish to be deprieved of grog-shops, let us acknowledge that whiskey and hect are good things and that we must have a place where they can be bought con veniently. And morever, that we wish to obtain a revenue from the drinkers of whiskey and beer. Let us not pious ly pretend that we hold on to whiskey shops because we can't prevent whiskey sales when the counties on the other side of the Saluda and Knoree prevent them. Let us not make a laughing stock of Laurens County. However, the matter should not be a political issue in Laurens. It should not affect in the slightest degree the elec tion of Senators and members of the House next year. Our opposition to the state dispensary was based on the wish to get the issue out of state poli tics. Therefore we wished a governor and a legislature elected who would op pose the state dispensary. This required The Advertiser to array itself against some of its warm friends who differed in equal sincerity with it. A number of the best and strongest men in the state went down last year because they wore on the unpopular side of the dis pensary question but the people will stand in their own light if they remem ber it against such men as Messrs. Manning McMahan and Sloan who ran for governor and Messrs. Cunningham, Gray and the others who ran on one side or the other in this county. The safety of the democratic party in the county and state lies in the burying of hatchets and now that the whiskey question is local it should be left out of politics. _ Hunting For Trouble. "I've lived in California for 20 years, and am still hunting for trouble in the way of burns, soreti, wounds, boils, cuts, sprains, or a case of piles that Bucklen'8 Arnica Salve won't quickly cure," writes Charles Walters, of Al leghany, Sierra Co.

"I waacuredlofan an noying propen sity to alcop at the wrong time in rather an original way, "said Snoozer. "Some time ago there were a num ber of nights when I could not Bleep un til just before it was time to rise in the morning. Then, of course, it was hard to wake me. My friends advised all sorts of remedies, but my wife set her wits to work and found the right one. Tho next night I fell into a light doze after I got into bed, but in less than twenty minutes I was as wide awake as ever, pitching and tossing and unable to close my eyes. Well, my wife got up, struck a match and pretended to look at her watch. Then she said: " 'I wouldn't try to go to sleep, dear, as it will soon be time for you to get up now.' "That settled it. In three minutes I was asleep and slept like a log. This was repeated once or twice, and now I get my regular sleep evcaynight. The best of it was that I didn't know for a number of days the little ruse that had been employed to send me to sleep."? Pearson's. Recollection. The stout man on the back platform declined to agree with tho conductor. The conductor thought he hadn't paid his fare. The stout man was of the contrary opinion. They exchanged harse words over the matter. "I gave you a nickel when I got aboard," said the stout man. "I haven't taken in a nickel on this trip," said the conductor. The stout man grew very red. His hair seemed to bristle. "That's just enough of this," he growled. I don't want to have any trouble with you. I had trouble with a conductor once. I'd hate to tell you what happened." The conductor drew back a little and made no further attempt to collect the stout man's fare. But when the stout man was about to alight from the car at the Pennsyl vania crosdng the conductor's curios ity was too much for him. "Say, he asked, what happened when you had that trouble with the other conductor?" The stout man looked back. "I was in the hospital six weeks," he mildly answered. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rattlesnakes Enliven a Picnic. Boys at a picnic at Grceley, Pa., on Wednesday had rare fun. Much of it was due to the fact that there has not been such a drought in Pike county for fifteen years. The Delaware looks like a lost river; the beds of the smaller streams are dry. The picnic was held at Rattlesnake creek, in which so little water remains that it does not hide the bowlders on its bed. Every boy had a putty blower, made from a straight piece of alder, from which the pith had been punched, leaving a caliber big enough for a bird shot. Soon the boys discovered a colony of rattlesnakes preparing to cross the creek toward them. Every Pike county boy who is not a nature faker knows that a rattlesnake hates to wet its rat tlers. The boys hid in the bushes and waited. Twelve rattlesnakes were in the approaching bunch. The biggest started ahead to reconnoiter; the others waited on the bank. The scout snake made his tor tuous way from bowlder to bowlder, and finally, his rattlers dry, reached the picnic grounds. He rattled a wire less "all right" to the eleven, which crossed in Indian file. The boys turned their putty blowers on the snakes and fired fast and accurate broadsides. Maddened by the hail of shot the snakes turned on one another and soon every one lay dead, killed by the venom of each other. The twelve snakes' cambined length was sixty-live feet.? New York World. New Remedy for Snake Bites. The Rural World prints an article by Dr. J. H. Phelps prescribing iodine for snake bites. Dr. Phelps' cure is sim ple and he declares it to be absolutely effective. It is nothing more than tincture of iodine injected into the veins near the wound. "This is an absolute cure," says Dr. Phelps. "I have tried iodine on man and animal, and it never has failed me. Even without 'hypo' the use of iodine is simple. If the skin is abraid ed a short distance above the bite, scratch, say, with a knife or any sharp instrument so that the blood comes, and iodine is poured on freely, so it will get into the circulation, no trouble will ever be experienced from the bite. "My brother has several fine blooded horses. A rattlesnake once bit one of the finest of them on the nose, and my brother promptly started to fill the an imal up with whiskey, thinking that might cure it. I was visiting him, and asked him to let me try my remedy. He scoffed at the idea, but consented. I stuck the small blade of a knife in above the wound, interjecting the io dine, using a goosequil as a syringe, and tho horse never felt the slightest ill effects, although the bite was a se vere one. This has been the case in many bites I have treated. "Another case was that of a ch'ld that had been bitten by a water mocca sin, the bite which is considered almost fatal. But the iodine injected into the veins promptly put a stop to tho spread of the poison, and the baby's life was saved after the parents had given up hope. "The same rule applies to the bites of tarantulas, scorpions and their kind. Iodine is a sovereign remedy for them and every man who spends a day in the country where reptiles abound should carry a bottle of it with him. It may make him a life saver." Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dlar rhoca Remedy Better Than Three Doctors. "Three years <igo we had three doc tors with our little boy and everything that they could do seemed in vain. At last when all hope seemed to be gone we began using Chamberlain's (x>Iic, Cholera und Diarrhoea Remedy and in a few hours ho began to improve.

The Daniel comet may now be aeon in the East on a dear night between 3 and lam. ( The^Scientific American says of this cornet: A new comet was discovered, by Mr. Daniel at Princeton observatory on June 9 and confirmed by Prof. W. R. Brooks on June 11 at Smith observa tory. It promises to be an interesting object, und is now quite rapidly increas ing in brightness. An observation made on the morning of July 8 showed it to be three times brighter than at discovery. Its position was right as censions lh. 29m. 130s.; declination North 7 deg. 0 m. This places it on the lore leg of Aries, from which place the comet is moving in a northwesterly course. On August 1 it wil be in the head of Taurus, and from the&s two positions the course of the comet for the present can be easily marked out. The comet is now visible in a small tel escope or field glass, and will soon be visible to the naked eye in the eastern morning sky. On July, at 2 o'clock, the sky being very clear, the comet was detected with the naked eye as a misty star of the fifth magnitude^ A tail one and a half degrees in length was easily seen in the 10-inch telescope. The tail was also visible in the 3-inch finder.' One Economy. As land inccases in value one of the things that will have to receive closer attention is that of preventing wastes that have heretofore existed. In no better way can a move be made along this line than in the starling of a flock of sheep.- They will not only pick up the bulk of their living from April to December from vegetable growth that usually goes to waste, but the farm will be better and the work of tilling the crops will be simplified because of the cosnuniption of such waste. There is not a farm but ought to have its quota of from thirty to fifty sheep. If one wishes to get a start with a herd, no way is better probably than to purchase a few well bred ewes five or six years old of a neighbor or alKsomo stock centre where at certain seasons of the year they are drug on the market and may be got at a very low price. The extra price should be put into the ram, which is generally considered better than half the flock. Gradually the old ewes can be disposed of and younger ewes used to fill their places. As experience is gained the flock may be enlarged.? American Press. Ilarrimnn and the Public. [Iarriman seems to have unlearned the lesson which W. K. Vanderbilt taught railroads?that the public should be treated with profane contempt. Re ports of investigations of railroads ac cidents on his lines are to be made pub lic, and outsiders will be admitted to the sessions of the board making in quiries. From a business point of view this new departure of Ilarriman is wise. Heretofore it has been assumed, with out stopping to inquire, that the ma jority of accidents arc due to faulty equipment, foe which the railroad's management is responsible. Rigid in quiry should disclose the truth, and it has been urged in favor of the plan of publicity that it is certain to transpire that individual carelessness plays an important part in idling up railroads casualties. In posession of the truth, the public will lay the blame where it belongs, whether the culpit be man or master. Spartanburg Journal. Neighbors Got Fooled.

There are several theories concerning the origin of the slang phrase "Face the music." It is said to have come from the army. One of the difficulties in training horses for the military ser vice was that of getting them to face the regimental band without cutting a rumpus. Another authority says also that it is of military origin, but that it was applied to soldiers when they were drummed out to the tune of "The Rogue's March." Still another ver sion is that it is used by actors behind the scenes when preparing to go on stage to face the music literally.? Minneapolis Journal. Dog Fennel to Start Balky Horse. "A balky horse is the meanest thing this side of Memphis," said A. L. Nichols, of Brentwood, Tenn. "I had a horse one time that balked on all oc casions. He would balk if you whistled, backed if you laughed and balked if you looked from the corner of your eye. "One day he balked and I could not make him move forward to save me. An old negro man happened along and ipplied a remedy. Going to the side of tho road he pulled a hand of dog fen nel weed. Taking this he rubbed it un der the horse's nose. The animal shook his head once or twice, raised up his tail and started down the road in the merriest trot you ever saw. The treat ment of dog fennel cured the horse of balking, lie never made another attempt to act ugly after that."?The Nashville Tennesseean. T: e Judge Uses Forceful Language Judge W. B.
