Col. Bryan's Illustrated Book of Travel
The success of Col. Bryan's new
book "The Old World and Its Ways"
gives striking testimony to his hold on
the popular mind. It recounts and pro
fusely illustrates his recent journey
around the world. It has been iss'.ed five
months, and we are advised that, in a
short period four large editions aggre
gating 41,000 copies have been called
lor. 1 he report of agents, which have
been submitted to us, would indicate
that the demand for it is well nigh
spontaneous and universal chat it ex
ceeds that for any other book published
for the subscription trade since the
Boriod of "Grant's Memoirs." Col.
rvan's book with like success depends
upon no sympathetic elements for its
strength. But it has on tho part of the
people the enduring leehng of personal
confidence in the great -moral and in
tellectual integrity of its author.
It has an equally pronounced admira
tion for his abilities, and the untiring
energy that enables him to cover the
world in his noted tour?and to photo
graph and describe it in his inimitable
way. Without official place Col. Bryan
is everywhere regarded, at home and
abroad, as a student of men and of
government, and of governmental con
ditions, his observations and conclusions
profoundly interest the people. Hence
the great sale of his "book, descriptive
of men and things seen during his not
ed tour around trie world and through
the Nations. It is vitalized by 251 artis
tic engravings, from photographs taken
by him or under his supervision, repre
senting men, places and things that in
terested him and that specially interest
every American reader. It is a most
unique presentation of a wonderfully
interesting journey that has caught the
attention of the people, and met with
threat demand. It is sold only through
soliciting agents. -

Editor Laurens Advertiser:
Will you be kind enough to allow
me space to call the attention of the
Farmers' Union men to tho fact that
Mr. J. Wade Anderson has been ap
pointed Trade Agent of our Union to
get prices- and also agent to grade
sind manage the sale of our cotton ?
on each Tuesday and Friday of every
week. 1 hope our Union men that
arc obliged to sell any of their cotton
and cannot hold will see Mr. Andor
son and co-operate with him. Let us
see if we cannot get more competition
in the buying and get better prices
for what cotton is obliged to be sold.
We have arranged with both ware
houses to put our cotton on platform
free of charge for one week with in
surance.

WOMEN CUT DIAMONDS.
The Most Delicate Work Is Intrusted to
Feminine Hands,
Women have always excelled in the
art of wearing diamonds, but how many
people know that they excel in the art
of cutting thorn, too? Yet they do.
Word comes from Amsterdam in the
annual report of Frank D. Hill, consul
of the Dutch port, that in a great dia
mond cutting factory three women are
intrusted with the most delicate and
difficult part of the processes.
It is an imr Jrtant industry in Amster
dam, is diamond cutting. Thousands
of the gems that come from the mines
of South Africa are taken to that city
to be split and cut and polished, made
over from rough stone into the spark
ling wellsof light that shine of women's
necks. In this facto-iy where women
are employed over 400,000 diamonds
were cut and polished in one year. For
thirty years only men were employed,
but in 1875, as an experiment, a few
women were taken on and so dexterous
did they proyjj?^aft^now the most im
'tfMtfsunrfpart, the cutting of the dia
mond, is done by them.
When the rough gems come in they
are taken in hand by men. They do
the splitting, that is, divide the stones
that have flaws into pure aid flawless
gems. The men do this by land, hold
ing the diamond, which has b*en (irmly
waxed in a little frame in one land, and
the other pressing the diamond tipped
tool on the weak spot wheae theflaw is
in the stone.
. Then the women toke the dividei sec
tions and perfect them. It is a ticklish
task, this diamond cutting and trying
to the eyes. Some of the- diamonds ?re
so minute that 400 of them will weigh
less than half a carat. Yet even the
most infinitesimal angle on their sur
face must be detsted ond cut off. The^
diamonds aac still held by being waxed
in a little frame, and before the women
burn jets of gas, ready to be used when
melted wax is ncoded. For eight hours
a day the women work, skillfully wcild
ing their little pear-shaped diamon-tip
ped tools. Afid tl\ey receive for this
work the magnificent remuneration of
From 8 to 20 guilpers ($3.21 to $8.4o) a
week. To be sure, living is not so ex
pensive tn Amsterdam as in America,
and these women have an least a pleas
ant place to work in. A shop has been
built for them right on tha quay, close
to the factory, ond they have it all to
themselves and plenty of large windows
to give them light. Fortunately for
them, light is necessary for their,
work.
The stones ore giyen to the women
in pockets by the fore woman, and if
by chance a woman loses a gem and
ctmnot find it she must refund its value.
This cutting is responsible work,
therefore, and it is slow and patient
work.
A good many celebrated diamand
hav passed through this factlry where
the women work. It was here that
the victoria, weighing 400 carats, was
cut and polished, and the Moguld, 227
carats in weight, and the great Regent
of France, which is now in Louvre.
The Kohinoor was recuf. here, losing
half its weight in the process, but more
than doubling its value.

A Certain Cure for Croup?-Used for Ten
Years Without a failure.
Mr. W. C. Bott, a Star City, Ind.,
hardware merchant, is enthusiastic in
his praise of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. His children have all been
subject to croup and he has used this
remedy for the past ten years, and
though they much feared the croup,
his wife and he always felt safe upon
retiring when a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy was In the house. His
oldest child was subject to severe at
tacks: of croup, but this remedy never
failed to effect a speedy cure. He has
recommended it to friends and neigh
bors ;ind all who have used it say that
It is unentailed for croup and whooping
cough. For sale by Laurens Drug Co.
Invited to Speak.

been invited by the committee in
charge to deliver an address before the
State Postmasters association at its
annual meeting during Fair week in

"Pneumonia's Deadly Work
had so seriously affected my right
lung," writes Mrs. Fannie Connor, of
Rural Route 1, Georgetown, Tonn.,
"that I coughed continuously night and
day and the neighbors' prediction
consumption?seemed inevitable, until
my husband brought home a bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery, which in
my case proved to be the only REAL
cough cure and restorer of weaK, sore
lungs." When all other remedies
utterly fail, you may still win in the
battle against lung and throat troubles
with New Discovery, the REAL cure.

School Children to Have Chance.
It is the desire of the Daughters of

written to every teacher in the county
the letter published below, asking that
each child bring ten cents to school to
be forwarded by the teacher to the
monument fund.
"Laurens, S. C, Sept. 1907.
You have doubtless seen in the county
papers that the Sons and Daughters of
the Confederacy propose to erect a
monument to perpetuate the memory of
our Confederate veterans. We arc anx
ious thatxhe children of the county have
a part in this noble work and thought
possibly we might reach them beUer by
asking each teacher to present it to his
or her school and ask a contribution of
ten cents from each pupil. Of course
there are some who will not be able to
respond. We will give each school credit
for whatever amount they contribute
and will publish a list of contributions
of each school in the county papers.
When you have made this collection,
please forward to me and I will send a
receipt for same. Hope you may suc
ceed in making a collection however
small."

? THE MANLEYS 8
<< nv w. d. s.
I like to sec a family that have lived
a long time at the old homestead. They
are apt to make law abiding citizens
who love thsir country and church. I
have known five generations of the Man
leys who have resided on their farm at
Rabun Creek Church. Win. Manly was a
particular friend of Mr. Cresswell, the
Clerk of the Court of Laurons Co., who
thought enough of him to give him the
tract of land that is still in possession
of the family. His son Thomas, the
old miller of Tumbling Shoals, was the
next owner. It then fell into the hands
of his daughter, Temperance, who with
her neice, who married Mr. Godfrey,
live on the place. The Godfrey children
make the fifth in line of succession.
When our family moved down from
Greenville county, father purchased
from Henry Burroughs one thousand
acres of Hickory Tavern land for fifty
cents per acre. Then these lands wore
considered almost worthless, now they
are the finest cotton lands in the coun
ty. It is wonderful how a country
changes in a few generations; also,
what a difference there is in the man
ner and customs of people,
Let me tell you of a custom that was
in vogue in Miller Mauley's day. Child
ren were brought to the mill to be cured
of whooping cough. A turn of corn
was poured up into the mill hopper and
the child placed in on top of the corn,
the water was turned on and the stones
started up, and the child was ground
down and cured of the whooping cough.
Thomas Manly said that he could
read the domestic lives of his patrons
by the meal bags they sent to mill.
When clean and creased sacks came in,
he knew those people were neat and
clean in their cooking. When sacks
woreCOVerOd With red mud and meal
caked In them so they would stand up
on their end; that crowd was as nasty as
hogs, and it would take a man with a
strong stomach to eat with thorn.
