Congress has appropriated more than eighty millions of dollars in excess of the present year's revenues. Some im provements will have to be deferred. Senator Lntimer has a bill before the Senate for the erection of a federal building in Laurens, which has passed its second reading, and Congressman Johnson has stated that he will intro duce a bill for the same purpose in the House. With such strong efforts being made in her behalf Laurens surely ought to get something handsome. DR. M. C. COX. The Advertiser has lost by the death of Dr. M. C. Cox, of Young's Township, another of its old and staunch friends. He was a subscriber to the paper from about the time of its establishment in 18Hf). He was a true, brave man and a lover of bis county and bis St to. In war and in the heavy times succeeding war he served his peo ple well. He was a faithful physician, a generous neighbor, loyal and true. Although the paper is not very aged not many of its earliest friends are left. They are gone, but we like to think of such men as Aaron Cannon, David Burnside, Dr. Job J. Boozer, Capt. James Bell, Dr. John R. Smith. Dr. Frank G. Fuller and others who through good and evil report were friends of The advertiser and >'ts editors and we like to reflect that a few of them remain. Dr. Cox was one of our "old guard." Cod give his soul rest and peace! God give us more friends like him! And Cod give South Carolina more sons like him, burning with the fire of love for his country and his fel low men! RUNNING FOR THE SENATE. The "field" for the race for the United States senate at present con sists of Mr. Dan S. Henderson, Mr. O. B. Martin, Mr. Asbury Latimer, Mr. John J. Dargan and Mr. George John stone. In this county Mr. Martin ought to get an excellent support. Mr. John stone will certainly have a strong fol lowing. Mr. Latimer will receive the votes of every man who thinks that when a man is sent to Congress be ought to be allowed to remain until he learns the job. Others believe that a man who does not show himself fit to be a Senator from the start and does not show strength when he enters ought to come home. Mr. Henderson is an able lawyer and would rank with other good lawyers in the Senate. From the present outlook we shall not be sur prised if Mr. Johnstone leads in the first primary, provided that others do not enter. IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS? Some years ago a little girl wrote to the editor of the New York^Sun a let ter inquiring if there really was a Santa Claus. The paper replied in an edito rial in the form of a letter to the little girl, whose name was Virginia, and the letter has become a celebrated piece of literature. It was written by one of the editors, an elderly, kindly gentle man, a Mr. Church, wdiom the editor of this paper met and talked with for a little while once and he was just such a man as one would think might have written the letter to Virginia. He died two years ago. The letter has been printed and re printed hundreds of times but it might well be printed every Christmas in every newspaper. What a newspaper editor writes is seldom remembered for more than a day or two, much as the editorials may in their aggregate influ ence the popular mind, and this one of Mr. Church is one of the very few ar ticles that Jwe have heard of that was not buried away forever "in the tiles." This is the letter: Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist; and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the Work! if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Vir ginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this world except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christ mas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Glaus coming down what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no proof that there is no Santa ClaiM, The most real things in the world are. those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing upon the lawn? Of course not; but that'n no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imag ine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle to see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that cur tain arid view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah! Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. The glorious full moon ' would not be so beautiful; the brightly twinkling stars would be cold and dim; the grand old sun would not yield so much light and warmth. No, no, if our beautiful world could be so greatly disillusioned, so be reft of childish fancy and allurement, then all would be very, very Bad. Yes, Virginia, Santa Claus will come this Christmas as usual to ah the hope ful, faithful, loving children of dear old New York; they must never doubt"his existence, but ever trust and believe in him while their little hearts are warm and young, tender and true. He comes on this one special visit to all faithful, "onfiding children who regularly expect him once each year. It takes Santa Claus nearly all . the ;f year ?to collect these Christmas presents before the well-known, happy .day they are given out to the hopeful and expectant. I must tell you and repeat to you: It is an old, old story, And yet it is ever new, The story of good Santa Claus Who will ever live for you. No, Santa Claus! Thank j God! he lives, and he lives.forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten times ten thousand years from now, ho will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. For that Dull Feeling After Eating. I have used Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and and can testify that they have done me more good than any tablets I have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating. David Freeman, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach andjimprovc the digestion. They also rogulate the liver and bowels. They are far supe rior to pills but cost no more. Get a free sample at Laurens Drug Co.'s drug store and see what a splendid medicine it is. The Central Committee. The following gentlemen have been appointed as a central committeo by Dr. A. C. Fuller, chairman of the meeting held by the Prohibitionists on Decem ber 12: Rev. E. C. Watson, chairman, Messrs. C. C. Featherstone, C. B. Bobo, John D. Childress and J. F. Tolbert. As has already been published, this committee will appoint sub-committees and have charge of the campaign that is to be inaugurated for the abolition of the dispensary in this county. How's This?

The new time lock, burglar-proof safe for the Enterprise bank has ar rived, and has its temporary quarten where the bank is now conducting its business. The [chest is a beauty, and there is no cause for loss of sleep ii the dread that it may be burglarized. Any person who has not had the oppor tunity of seeing just how the modern I devices for protecting valuables are I constructed will do well to call at the Enterprise bank and inspect this new chest. Cashier Roper will take pleas ure in showing you, and now that the ! safe is out of the vault it is easy of access. Good Cough Medicine for Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at hand, and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diph theria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starchcr, of Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have never used anything j other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children, and it has j always given good satisfaction." This' remedy contains no opium or other nar cotic, and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by Laurens Drug Co.

Egyptian "soul" houses were curious edliiccs made probably between the teuth and twelfth dynasties? that Is, about 8C00 and 3300 B. C. Tho same priuclplo that caused the warrior's stocd to be slain on bis grave seems to have actuated the early Egyptians when they built a hotise for tho dead man's soul. Tho beginning of tho custom was that a mat was laid on the grave, with a pan of food upon It. Afterward this offering was carved in stone as a ta blo of offerings to give permanent sat isfaction for the soul. Then to tho ta ble was addod a sholter copied from an Arab tent, and this gradually was elaborated. The shelter was placed on columns, a hut was put Into this por tico, chambers wero copied, and finally Oppenrod complete two story houses furuluhcd with pottery models of couch, chair, stool, fireplaco oud the figure of a woman making bread. Tho soul was conceived of as ascend lug from the grave through the ground and requiring shelter while feeding on Its everlasting provision, and yet, though It ascended through the earth, It needed a staircase to go up to the upper door, and the soul had a donkey, for which a manger was required.? Chicago News. A tickling cough from any cause is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Ana it is so thoroughly harmless 1 and safe that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesita tion, even to very young babes. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung-healing mountainous shrub furnish the curative properties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms tbe cough and heals the sore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to in jure or suppress. Simply a resinous plant extract that helps to heal aching lungs. The Spaniards call this shrub which the doctor uses "The Sacred Herb." Always demand Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Palmetto Drug Co. The Judge Uses Forccful Language. Judge W. B. Simmons of Fincastle, Va., told the reporter that L. & M.
