McGOWAN's card. We publish in this issue of the Ad vertiser a very readable card from Hon. F. P. McGowan. While readable there is very little in the card that we are disposed to endorse other than the fact that iti the very near future we will be compelled to have a new court house for Laurens. Wc arc in favor of the city purchas ing from tho county the old court house, but when he talks about paying ^ $25,000.00 for it or selling the present city ball property for $15,000.00 it seems rcdiculous. We want a new city hall also, but wc don't want it on the public square any more than we want the court house there, if the old building is to be left there wc are in favor of it remaining a court house. As for obtaining spring water for Laurens that proposition is t not to be more seriously taken than that the city pay $25,000.00 for the court house; in fact not so much so, the city could pay the $25,000.00, but it will not and should not, but it is a phisical impossibility to obtain as much water as the city requires from any half dozen springs in a radius of five miles of Laurens. Besides, it is utter ^ folly to say that Laurens has not as good drinking water as any town in the country. Some people are prejudiced against it it is true, but the chemists' analysis and the practical use of it as demonstrated and by the health of the citizens who use it exclusively prove "conclusively that the water is all right. CLINTON'S FORWARD MARCH. THE ADVERTISER congratulates Clin ton on having water-works and electric light. Nothing is too good for Clinton. It is the soundest, town we know any thing about, with its splendid orphan age, its fine college, its noble churches, \ its wide streets, its handsome stores, ' its pretty girls, its big cotton mills, its ^.rich merchants, its clever editors, its Dr. Jacobs and its scarcity of lawyers. We. are glad to see that Clinton pro poses to build a monument to the Con federate dead and we are sure that the plan will be carried out. Wc wish every community where" even a few hun dred poople arc gathered together | would build a Confederate monument. Passing through Joncsvillc, a village half as big and one fourth as well-to-do] as Clinton, the other day, wo saw from the train a handsome Confederate mon- ] umcnt which was recently unveiled. Everybody passing through Joncsvillc1 sees that monument and it puts every body on notice that the Southern Cause is honored in Jonesville, it tells the passing Northern man as soon as he gets into the town that tho men of Jonesville are proud of their fathers and what they did and warns all stran gers that the history, the tradition and the living principles of the Southern poople still find defenders. There should be a Confederate monu ment in Clinton and another in Lau rens. _ A REAL DEMOCRAT. About the soundest Democrat conspic uous in national affairs is Alton B. Parker of New York. Badly beaten ] as ho was for President, his principles and utterances h;?ve been wonderfully vindicated. He charged that rich New York men and the corporations wore putting up the money to buy the elec tion for IlooScvclt, Roosevelt bitterly . denied'it, but. tho insurance disclosures and the Harriman lotter proved it. Judge Parker believes that there are too mnny laws and that the thing to do is to enforce the laws wo have. He be lieves in sticking close to tho constitu tion; ho is a "strict constructionist" and resents the surrender of tho liber ty of tho individual Democrat to laws and law officers. That is tho attitude of ovory true Democrat; that is tho gospel of Jefferson. Meantime, the probability is that the UfjcVocrats will nominate for president r ncx^t year some man who does not know the difference between Democracy and ^ M or monism. IS LAURENS FOR LIQUOR? There is no greater mistake than to suppose that The Advertiser cares especially whether Laurens retains dis pensaries or votes them out. Columbia and Charleston are liquor counties be cause they want liquor. Laurens has equally as good a right to have a thirst and to gratify it as has Charleston. For a long time it was said by many persons in this county that they were prohibitionists but favored the dispen sary because prohibition could not be enforced. Now prohibition can be en forced; is enforced in Greenwood, Spartanburg and other counties arouud us. State prohibition in Georgia will greatly multiply the difficulties of im porting whiskey. If Laurens wants whiskey, Laurens should have it. Far bo it from The Advertiser to deprive any man of his dram; we have no objection to a man's j taking a dram so long as he does not get drunk "cuss" out and shoot up the neighborhood. A man has a perfect right, in our opinion, to drink so long as he does not interfere with or dis turb the rights of others and leave his family as a burden upon the charity of others. The trouble is that men who drink too often do interfere with others and mistreat their family. But if Laurens peoplo stand by the dispensaries let them do it in open, manly fashion as liquor people and not as prohibitionists. The majorities in j Charleston, Bamberg and Columbia arc liquor peoplo. Why should they not be if they choose to be? Let ev ery man in Laurens who is for the dis pensary come out and say that he is against prohibition because he favors the Bale of liquor. Certainly, in our judgment there is no disgrace in hold ing to that opinion. As for the election of members of the legislature, the state dispensary being no longer and issue, there are some dispensary advocates in Laurens whom The Advertiser would delight to support for the legislature. W. J. BRYAN'S WARNING. Comments at Length on the President's Recent Speech. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 24. ?William J. Bryan, in commenting on President Roosevelt's last speech, said: "The president has at last disclosed his scheme for centralization at, which he has hinted in former speeches. In his Provincetown, Mass., address he proposes the national incorporation of railroads and other corporations en gaged in interstate commerce. "Here is the secret; it is out at last. The Ltntes are annoying the corpora tions and the corporations demand fed eral protection from State legislation. The president thinks that action is most pressing as regards these corpo rations which, because they are com mon carriers, exercise a quasi-public function.' The States have been en acting 2-cent fare laws and laws re ducing freight rates and the railroad managers demand that they shall be relieved from further fear of such leg islation. The president's Hamiltonian ideas make him an easy victim and he yields to the entreaties of the railroads, fc If it is the public he sought to pro tect he would recommend federal rem edles which would not interfere with State remedies, but it is the railroad, not the public, that demands the re moval of authority to Washington. "Tho Democrats can be depended upon to oppose with all their might this movement toward centralization. If any Democrat wavers his constitu ents should look into his business rela tions and see whether he is under obli gations to the railroads. A Hamilto nian Republican like the president may honestly think that the farther the government is removed from the peo ple the better it will be, but a Jefferso nian Democrat does not cherish any such delusion. Even the Hamiltonian Republican ought to hesitate to trust congress with any more power while the United States senators arc elected by legislatures. "It is fortunate that the people have had an object lesson recently. The federal law stopped rebates and passes, but the railroads make more money than they did before. The States, on the other hand, gave the people a re duction in rates and those who arc re ceiving the benefit of these reductions will be slow to surrender the advantage thus far gained. "It is doubtful whether the Republi can congressmen from the West will dare to support the president's propo sition, but if an attempt is made to put such a measure through congress the Democrats will stand a good chance of retiring every Western Republican who votes for it." Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea 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 Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and in a few hours he began to improve. To day he is as healthy a child as parents could wish for.- Mrs. B. J. Johnston, Lincoln, Miss. For sale by Laurens Drug Company. Cotton Sold at Oaffney. Gaffney, Aug. 24.?The strccis of Gaffney yesterday were the sceno of quite an unusual spectacle for the sea son. Load after load of cotton was ! being hauled through the streets, and upon inquiry it was learned that a lot 0^*865 bales of the staple had been bought by Mr. R. S. Lipscomb, cashier of the Merchants' and Planters' bank, from LeMaster Bros., Dr. Jefferson, J. D. Hughes and others. This lot repre sents about all the cotton left from last season's crop in Cherokee county. The price paid was 13 1-8. Buying cotton is somewhat out of Mr. Lipscomb's line ,f business, but, he is always ready and willing to do a good turn for his farmer friends. Hunting For Trouble. "I've lived in California for20 years, and am still hunting for trouble in the way of bums, sores, wounds, boils, cuts, sprains, or a case of piles that Bucklen's Arnica Salve won't quickly cure," writes Charles Walters, of AI leghany, Sierra Co. No use hunting Mr. Walters; it cures every case. Guar anteed by Laurens Drug Co., and Pal metto Drujf Co. Price 2? cents. I \ ? -? FAIRVIFW STOCK SKOW.

Insanely jealous of his attractive bride of two months, says ar. Associa ted Press New York dispatch, Julius Teich, a sdk weaver, today shot her through the head and then sent a bul let into his own brain. Both died a few minutes later at a hospital, where they were taken. Neighbors in the apartment house where they lived said the couple had quarrelled violently during the last few days. When shots were heard in the apartment this afternoon the police were summoned, when the doors were forced Teich and his wife were found unconscious. The couple were married in June. Teich was 35 years old and his bride was 30. It appears that it was after a search, which lasted five years and covered ]r.,000 miles on the continents, that Julius Teich found the girl that he lov ed and persuaded her to marry him, only to kill her after two months of wedded life, and then, repentant, to take his own life. Emily Herter lived in Germany with her parents when she first met Teich, who was a silk weaver. Teich fell in love with the gird and wanted her to marry him. But he was possessed of a violent temper and Emily feared him. Her parents also objected to the mar riage. But Teich was insistent, so that Emily left Germany secretly to escape him, and came to America. This was five years ago. For two years Teich searched Germany for her, but failed to find her. Then her par ents admitted to him that she was in America, but refused to tell him where. Nothing daunted, the young man came to America and renewed his search. He hunted New York for months, but failed to find her. Then he went to Minneapolis, St. Louis, Philadelphia and Scranton, where he thought the girl had friends, but without result. He returned to New York a few monthH ago accidently, met Emilyon the street. She was living with her aunt, and in spite of her aunt's objection, Emily finally consented to marry the man, who had been so faithful in his search for her. They were married two months ago._ A Valuable Lesson. "Six years ago I learned a valuable lesson, writes John Pleasant, of Mag nolia, Ind. "I then began taking Dr. King's New Life Pills, and the longer I take then the better I find them." They please everybody. Guaranteed at Laurens Drug Co., and Palmetto Drug Co. Price 25 cents. Corn Bread and Hominy. i ? South Cai-olina farmers, as a rule, says Editor Wallace of the Newberry Observer, do not pay enough attention to corn. This is not a corn country, its true; our land is better adapted to cot ton, and cotton is more of money crop than corn. But we ought to raise more corn; we ought to do it by better cul tivation and more care; and that will be done from this forward, no doubt, for the farmers have found the way. There is no farm product so useful about a farm. It is the best food for horses and mules and most other farm animals. When raised at home and well cared for it is pv.re and sound and wholesome, while on the other hand much of the corn that comes from the west is inferior; none of it is as good as the South Carolina raised. We do not appreciate fully the value of corn as a food for man. It is more wholesome than wheat. Hominy is a staple food for breakfast, and no man Bhould go to his work without it. In ' fact a breakfast of hominy and butter, with milk or coffee, makes a wholesome and sufficient meal; to which egg bread or batter-bread may be added. Hom iny or egg bread is a far better food than nine-tenths of the so-called "break fast foods" with which the country is flooded. There are numerous ways of preparing appetizing dishes from corn, and if wo would eat more of such pre parations and less of heavy biscuit and rancid meats we would have less TTJa pepaia and live longer. South Carolinans are learning how to raise corn. Let them learn now how to make good use of it. More corn and less corn liquor is tho order of the day.
