Beginning with next peek's Issue The Advertiser will be edited by Mi.' S. E. Boney, who will havo editorial con. trol of the affairs of the paper. Mr. Blackwell, who is one of the stock holders of the company, continues in his present capacity. When 1 moved away from Laurens, four years ago, it was with the inten tion of continuing as editor of THE Advertiser only until the services of a capable and tested newspaper man of character could be secured for its general management. While the prop erty was never before in so good and Htrong a condition as it has been during the last three years, and is now, it was recognized that a newspaper in a grow ing city required tin; presence of an edi tor who would live in Laurens, study the needs of the county and city and be nn energetic worker among the peoplo. The Advertiser has been edited for more than seventeen year.; by myself or the late Col. B. W. Ball, and 1 would like to remain its editor, luil that is impracticable. The newspapt r must have a home man at its head, if il is to continue to be the force in the com munity and the county that it has al ways been. Mr. Bonoy is placed in charge because the company owning i,he property believes that the town and county aro entitled to the service.--, of a resident editor. For more than a year Mr. Honey, who is a native of York county, has been one of the traveling agent.; of the News and Courier, and in that position he proved of the highest value to his em ployers. They do not liko to givo him up. Before his connection with the News and Courier lie was assistant edi tor of the Union Times, and helpo 1 con siderably in the improvement of thai newspaper. He is a graduate of Fur man University, where in his college career he acquitted himself with dis tinction. He is, therefore, u trained newspaper man and is one of our peo ple. He comes to Laurens resolved t<> make Laurens his home, and his own future depends upon the prosperity of Laurens and Of THE advertiser, f need scarcely say that the management of The Advertiser would not bo turned over to a man in whose charac ter and ability the owners did not place implicit and unreserved trust. It should be understood that Mr. Ho ney will not write for 'i HE advertiser under my direction or any other per son's dictation. If {The Advertiser's views in future coincide with mine the coincidence will be accidental. 'i ho be lief is that Mr. Boney is a mun who will make good, both as an editor and business man, and he can do thai the more easily with the responsibility wholly upon himself. I hope to write sometimes for the paper, but it will bo over my own name or initials, and Mr. Boney can print what 1 send or not, as he wishes. The A.dverti8er has a larger paid circulation today than it has ever had. Its job and newspaper outfit is worth four times in money what it was worth four years ago. Much as sonn; of my friends have disagreed with it, they have always believed il to be a free newspaper, whose opinion-, wore its own. I have every re ason to be grateful for the support which the pa per has constantly received since my association with it, beginning in Au gust, 1800. I bought it when it was fighting a boycott, but it bad a number of good friends worth moi'o than a host of lukewarm subscribers. Many of them are dead, but Albert Gnrlington and Mr. W. 1). Sullivan, and the Cooks, of "Cook's Store"; and Robert N. Cun ingham, and Dr. Wilbur, and "Jim" Dillard, and Dl?. A. ('. Puller, and the Austins and Millers, ol Cross Hill; and the Ropers, Medlocks, Wallaces and Hellamses, of Dial's; and th-3 Summer oils, of Clinton; Blnkelys, McClintocks, Lanfords, DrumirSonds, Coxes, Geoi fc Hanna and the Fullers, of Mountvillc; the Flemings, of Ora; and the Raysors and Clardys, the Owillgs brothers and Baileys, of Clinton, and numerous oth ers (I wish I could recall them all), are still alive and while thoir sons and sons' sons remain in the land Tino Adveu tiser will get along, if it docs Its part. Mr. Boney may be depended upon, and I ask that my people in Laurens take him in and make him one of them as quickly as they can. I would also commend Mr. Bonoy to Col. Thomas L. Crews, the editor of the historic Lau rensville Herald, and one of my oldest and best friends. W. \V. LALL. Col. Bacon to Conduct European Party. A party is being organized to visit Europe this summer by Col, James T. Bacon, of Edgefield, who is known to overyone in South Carolina as one of the most accomplished gentlemen in the State. Col. Bacon's party will sail the 10th of July, and will make a tour of Norway, Denmark, Germany, Ba varia, Italy, Switzerland, France and England, the trip to last 70 days. Col. Bacon has visited Europe repeatedly, and it would he Impossible to make the trip with a more delightful guide.

Anderson, March 24.? Conductor C. D. Swink of freight train No. 24 of the Anderson branch of the Charleston & Western Carolina railroad was killed by a white man named Bunnie Brock this afternoon at 4 o'clock while his train was standing in the yfcrd at Calhoun Falls. Brock was arrested and lodged in the Abbeville jail, where he died from the effects of his wounds at 8.15 tonight. Brock is about 22 years of ago and has the reputation of being a big bully. When he is drinking he be comes unruly. Brock got on Swink's train at Lowndesville in a drunken condition, lie succeeded in beating his way as far as Latimer, when Swink went into the coach and collected his fare from Lati mer to Calhoun Falb): Brock, it is said, cursed Swink very vilely and got off the train near the Calhoun Falls yard. When Swink'a train pulled up to the station Brock secured a pistol and cursed Mr. Swink again. Conductor Swink then struck Brock and Brock opened fire. Brock fired only one time, the bullet penetrating Swink's heart. As Swink fell he pulled his pistol and fired at Brock once or twice, one of the shots taking effect. Conductor Swink was a man of amia ble disposition and friendly. He was about 28 years of age and was from Woodruir, in Spartanburg county, where his parents now reside. He was un married and had only been running on the. Anderson branch about 60 days, lie was popular with all of his fellow trainmen. The body will be carried to Woodruff for burial. The Jumping Off Place. . "Consumption had me in its grasp, and I had almost reached the jumping oil" place, when I was advised to try Dr. King's New Discovery; and I want to say right now it saved my life. Im provement began with the first bottle, and after f taking ono dozen bottles I was a well and happy man again," says George. Moore, of Grimesland, N. C. As a remedy for coughs and colds and healer of weak, sore lungs, and for preventing pneumonia, New Discovery is supreme. 50c and $1 at Laurens Drug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co. Trial bottle free. Prohibition Sentiment Crowing. Mr. C. C. Featherstone passed through the city this morning on his way to his home in Laurens, returning from the lower section of the State. He made prohibition speeches this week at Springfield, Barnwell and Olar, and states that he finds the sentiment for prohibition growing whe' Over he goes. At Olar he was escorted to the hall where he was to speak by a torchlight procession of considerable proportions. While talking freely about the prohibi tion movement, Mr. Featherstone has nothing to say in addition to what he has recently said in regard to his con templated candidacy for governor this year. Several papers have suggested that if he would only wait two years he would have a walk-over for governor, but Mr. Featherstone seems to be more concerned about the enactment of a prohibition law than about having a walk-over for himself, and he is anx ious that the fight for prohibition shall I be made before the people this year.? ; Columbia Cor. News and Courier. Neighborhood Favorite. Mrs. E. D. Charles, of Harbor, Me., speaking of Electric Bitters, says: "It is a neighborhood favorite here with u.s." It deserves to be a favorite everywhere. It gives quick relief in dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney de rangement, malnutrition, nervousness, weakness and general debility. Its ac tion on the blood as a thorough purifier makes it especially useful as a spring medicine.

Probably the oldest bale of cotton in South Carolina is in the Laurens bonded warehouse, located in this city. It was placed in the warehouse two or three years ago by Mr. Samuel II. Fleming and is the property of one of his little sons, who is a grandchild of the late Henry Thompson, who produced this bale of cotton during the war period, in the year of 1862. In the summer of 1866 the cotton would have sold for 40 cents per pound in gold. It weighs 444 ? pounds and at that time, would have j brought $170.GO. Had the bale been ; placed on the market 43 years ago and the proceeds put on deposit in a bank at tho present rate of interest allowed, generally 4 per cent., the accrued in terest today would amount to $305.47, or a total of $483.07, principal and in terest. On the market today it would sell for $44.40. During its existence the commercial value of cotton has been as low as 4 cents the pound at more than one period and as late as 1893-4 it would have brought less than $20 per haps. As stated above the cotton was made by Mr. Henry Thompson, who lived near Cross Hill, this county, and it was packed on the old-fashioned screw press and baled in ropes. Several years ago it was re-baled and is in excellent con dition. Suffering and Dollars Saved. E. S. Loper, of Manila, New York, says: "I am a carpenter and have had many severe cuts healed by Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It has saved me suffer ing and dollars. It is by far the best healing salve I have ever found." Heals burns, sores, ulcers, fever sores, ecze ma and piles. 25c at Laurens Drug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co. Banks Close at 4 P. M.

Thomas Stenton,postmaster of Ponty pooi, Out., writes: "For the past eight years I have suffered from rheumatic, pains, and during that time I have used many different liniments and remedies for the cure of rheumatism*. Last sum mer I procured a bottle of Chamber lain's Pain Balm and got more relief from it than from anything I have ever used. I cheerfully recommend ibis liniment to all Bufferers from rheumatic pains." For sale by the Laurens Drug Co. Farmers Demonstratio^ Work Below we reproduce a timely, articlo handed us by Mr. J. M. Jenkins, who has his headquarters in Laurens and is connected with the United States De partment of Agriculture in demonstra tion work in, this section: "The past winter has been so wet| that there has been less than the usual opportunity to prepare the land for] this year's crop. The rains have con tinued so late that many fields are still very wet. These conditions make it all the more necessary that the soil be well prepared before planting. In tho j impatience to commence planting the temptation to plow before the land is dry enough is very great. Against this we issue a word of warning. There are few more injurious farm practices. Land plowed wet at this time is injured for the whole season. Such land is more than likely to be cloddy, and a clod in the fiel 1 is of little use to plants. Cloddy land is hard to work and seldom gives a good stand. It furnishes a minimum of food to the plants and is exceedingly subject to drought. "While it is desirable, especially in tho boll weevil sections, to plant cotton as early as possible, yet there is noth ing gained by placing the Beed in the ground before tho latter is warm enough to cause it to germinate and grow, or before the soil is thoroughly prepared. This was strongly illustrated last year in boll weevil sections. Where the land was properly prepared before planting, even though this preparation caused a delay in putting the seed into the ground, the yield was much better than where attention was not given to this detail. A thorough preparation is more than half the cultivation. D? not plant either cotton or corn before the land is worked into a fine seed bed, even if planting is a little late. "Last spring a great amount of trou ble was experienced in securing stands, especially of cotton. This was primarily duo to a late, wet spring; but there were other contributing factors, includ ing poor preparation of land, improper depth of planting and poor seed. The farmers seem fairly well aroused to the importance of good seed. To be good the seed must not only be from a good variety, but must have been care fully selected, and so cared for that they have strong vitality. Be sure the seeds planted have not been damaged from any cause. Prepare the land thoroughly and sufficiently in ivmce of planting, so that there is a fi - sed bed. Then avoid one of the mo K om mon causes of loss of stand -that of planting too deep. "With well-prepared land, good cot ton soed, if properly planted, will ger minate, even in a dry spring, when covered to no greater depth than one fourth inch. Many of the cotton plant ing machines on the market are faulty, in that it is almost impossible to gauge the depth at which the seeds are placed in the ground. This defect is only in creased if the seed bed is loose. Fur ther, while the seed may not actually be covered to a great depth, many leave them in a trench, with hills of loose dirt on each side. The first good rain washes this dirt into the trench and buries the seed too deep. This should bo avoided. A light roller should always follow the planting, so as to press the ground close to the seed. "It is best, even where it is not nec essary to plant upon beds, to place tho seed upon a slight ridge, especially in planting early. This insures drainage and warmth, and consequently a good stand. There are more stands lost in planting cotton by using too much than too little seed. When a bushel of seed is used it is very often a detriment, be cause the seeds are so close that when they germinate they lift the soil in the whole top of the row. If dry or a lit tle cool weather follows, the soil im mediately around the young plant dries out or is chilled by the cool nights, and the plants die. If this does not occur, the farmer is obliged to thin the cotton when very young, while the plants are delicate and are easily injured. Perfect stands of cotton have been obtained with four pounds of seed, and if the seed has been properly selected and preserved it should never require more than a peck per acre, provided the land is in good condition and the seed is properly planted. "Prepare the land thoroughly before planting. "Use selected seed of known parent age and good quality. "Plant shallow--not over one-fourth inch in depth on a firm bed. "Follow planting with a roller, and use care that the seed drill is not in a trench. "Be sure that the seed bed is well drained. "With these precautions there should be no difficulty in securing a stand of either cotton or corn this year. These directions are for normal conditions, and arc applicable with all ordinary sea sons and soils. "Owing to the difference' in soil fer tility and varieties of cott rt it is im possible to give any general rule for distances between the rows and for spacing of the plants in the row. How ever, as some guide, we give the fol lowing: "On good uplands, ordinarily produc ing one-half to three-fourths of a bale of cotton per acre, plant in rows four feet apart, and give not less than six teen inehes space between plants in tbo | row. "On rich bottom lands, where exces sive stalks are produced, plant in rows not less than five feet apart, and give two feet space between plants in the row. Increase or decrease these dis tances in rows and spaces according to the strength of the soil and the usual 8i*/.e of the cotton plants. "On postoak fiats, and alluvial lands like the Mississippi bottoms, give full distance between the rows, so as to make a broad ridge for the plants and provide for surface drainage. "Approved. "D. N.

Graham, 304 Sullivan street, Laurens, S. C, says: "1 worked on the railroad for many years and I believe that the constant jolting of the engihe brought on my kidney trouble. Several years ago I noticed the first symptom of this complaint. There were pains across the small of my back and a sore ness through the region of the kidneys. The kidneys acted very irregularly and the secretions were quite unnatural in appearance. I was Anally told to try Doan's Kidney Pills and going to the Palmetto Drug Co. I purchased a sup ply. The contents of two boxes en tirely relieved me. On occasions since when I have had any return of back ache I have taken a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and always obtained relief. I consider them a most valuable kidney remedy." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
