Spartanburg, April 2.-W. R. Zim merman, of Duncan, came to Spartan burg today and swore out a warrant against Martha Hellam3, principal of the public school at Duncan, charging her with assault and battery in whip ping his young son. Mr. Zimmerman alleges in the warrant that the whip ping occurred after school had been dismissed and the child was not under the control of the teacher. The school was dismissed yesterday afternoon, Mr. Zimmerman states, and all the children were taken on a fishing trip to Tyger river except his two sons, who were sent home. Mr. Zimmerman rigged up lines and sent the boys to the river to fish. They went to Moor's Spring, where the school children were having a jolly time, and Mr. Zimmer man declares his youngest son was seized by Miss Hollams and given a thrashing. Miss Ilellam's side of the affair will not be known until the inves tigation. Several weeks ago an effort was made to oust the young lady by sevearl patrons, but she won in the fight, the trustees refusing to prefer charges against her. She is said to be a young woman with plenty of pluck. MISS HELLAM'S FRIENDS INDIGNANT. Spartanburg, April 3.? The friends of Miss Martha Hellams are mortified and indignant that W. R. Zimmerman, a patron of her school, swore out a war rant for her arrest, charging her with whipping one of his sons. The friends of the young lady are standing by her. She is a woman of excellent character, high ideals and a splendid teacher. She .has taught in several schools in the county, and her work has given entire satisfaction. It is said that Miss Hel iums has been harrassed considerably by certain patrons of her school, and that many indignities have been heaped upon her. They claim that she will be fully vindicated.- News and Courier. "One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin." When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm .yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something ex ceptionally good; he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for publication .that others similarly ailing may also vise ? and obtain relief. Behind every one of these letters is a warm-hearted wish of Uie writer to be of use to some one else. This remedy is for sale by Laurens Drug Co. Caught Suckers April I. Tumbling Shoals, April 4. ?I am glad the fishermen had a pleasant trip on 'Thursday night to the river, and that .they caught some nice suckers. It was 'too cold to stay long in the water, and they had to come out and warm up. At one time they all got behind the tool lx>x, and Miller John said he heard a familiar sound - it went "gooddle-good dle." It sparkled right and went down smoothly. I JAMES FORD. % I BY W. I). S. * ?-**** *<* **fr ft* ?. fr*** ******* ftlp My friend, Capt. A. B. Byrd, the other day related the following incident to me: One Jim Ford had a legacy due him from his father's estate, and the estate had to be settled in the Ordinary's office before he could get his money. Final notice of settlement was pub lished in the county paper and when the day arrived Jim came up to town and employed a lawyer to see that everything was done exactly right. This lawyer was a noted attorney bo fore the war, named Tol Hendrix. He and Tol marched around to Judge Wm. Watts' office to settle up the estate. Jim, as a prudent man, carried along a little cash ?about thirty dollars?to pay the oilice and lawyer fees. They went into the settlement and soon had everything ready for distribution. Ford paid Judge Watts his costs, and tlyjy rose to go. But before leaving the oilice Ford said to 'Squire Hendrix: "How much do I owe you for making this settlement ?" "Well, Jim, the work has not been much, but the responsibility upon me as an attorney of having everything accu rate in this settlement is considerable. So I will make my fee three hundred dollars.." Jim said to 'Squire Watts: "Please hand me a chair, I want to sit down. I feel sorter shaky in the knees." So this big fall in the cotton market has made many of our Union friends feel like sitting down and shaky in the legs._ A Healing Salve for Burns, Chapped Hands and Sore Nipples.

The Laurens County Farmers' Union held its regular monthly meeting at the court house last Friday morning. Ow ing to the busy season and the fine ploughing season, the attendance was small, only about half the districts be ing represented. Only the usual rou tine business was transacted, nothing of importance being brought before the Union. All the officers were pres ent. Mr. C: A. Power, in speaking of the meeting, said it was impossible at this time to say whether or not the farmers would plant a big crop this year. How ever, he thought it would be about the usual crop. He said that there was still a great deal of cotton held by the far mers all over the county. Chamberlain's Has the Preference. Mr. Fred C. Hanrahan, a prominent druggist of Portsmouth, Va., says: "For the past six years I have sold and recommended Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It is a great remedy and one of the best natent medicines on the market. I handle some others for the same pur poses that pay me a larger profit, but this remedy is so sure to effect a cure, and my customer so certain to appre ciate my recommending it to him, that I give it the preference."

C. THE POSBY RUCK. ; ; BY W. D. 8. !| Reedy river makes a sudden bend half a mile above the bridge and the water fiowa to east side under that rock, which makes the channel deep on this side. The approach from the land is nearly level with the top of the rock, the rock hangs over some ten feet water side. Frank Posey lived by and his wife jumped into the nd drowned herself. Ever since this occurrence the rock has been called the "Posey rock." Frank Posey married the daughter of John C. Calhoun, an old whig soldier of the Revolution, who resided on South Rabun creek. Mrs. Posey left two daughters, who often visited my elder sisters. One of these girls married little Tom Bonner and they moved to W?cox county, Alabama. While on this subject I will tell some more fatalities of Reedy river. At the mouth of the branch some fifty feet above the bridge Mr. Craven, an Eng lishman, and a hatter by trade, walked into the river one night and drowned himself. Years after this a young man by the name of Anderson Riley was swimming in this hole. An old man standing on the river hank unthought edly called out to him, "Look out, An derson, you are. swimming right over the place where Craven was drowned!" Quick a3 lightning he sank and before assistance reached him he was dead. In those days this bend of the river had 26 and 30 feet watery now you can wade across it. At the ford below the mill Thomas Moore was returning home late one evening and in wading over he fell and was found next morning drowned. One of these men had a jug of whis key tied with a rope around his neck and when he fell the weight of the jug kept his head under the water until he was drowned. Young man, if you must have a jug get you a Taylor jug, one with no bottom. How's This? We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. F. J.

McCullough, of Green ville, and one of the recently appointed receivers of the defunct State dispen sary, was in Laurens a few minutes Thursday, enroute to Greenwood, where he attended the funeral of Mi'. W. G. Gambrell. In the few minutes at his disposal Mr. McCullough talked quite freely with THE Advertiser reporter con cerning the dispensary affairs and the pending litigation. He does not seem much perturbed by the numerous and harsh criticisms directed against him by the newspapers of the State, but seems to be convinced that he is pursu ing a correct and justifiable policy which will be for the State's interest. Regarding the enormous bond fixed by Judge Pritchard for the commission, in order to elfect the supersedeas pro ceedings, Mr. McCullough seemed con fused by the account as published in Thursday's Columbia State. From this article he could not learn what the at torneys for the commission purposed doing. "Anyhow," said Mr. McCullough, "I am sincerely desirous that the proceed ings shall be as speedy and as amicable as possible. The matter must be car ried to the United States Supreme Court in some form, and I hope it can be done without anyone being ruled in contempt. I hope the supersedeas bond can be arranged. "There has been no recent meeting of the three receivers," he continued, "and there is no likelihood of a meet ing soon. We await instructions from Judge Pritchard." Mr. McCullough explained that the supersedeas bond meant an order stay ing all proceedings as they now stand and carrying the matter direct to the U. S. Supreme Court, for its decision.

In an interview a few days ago with a State reporter Senator Tilhnan, in speaking of national politics regarding the chance for Democratic victory, said: "It all depends on one thing: If the Republicans nominate Taft for presi dent at tue June convention Bryan will undoubtedly be named by the Demo crats, and I think he will win, but on the other hand if the Republicans lock up the convention and stampede it for Roosevelt and nominate him I do not think the Democrats can put Bryan forward. "Just as soon as possible," he said, "I want to take a special treatment of massage baths and electricity. Further than this I have no plans for the future. I am going to Europe just as soon as I feel strong enough to make the voy age.'1 "Will yoiTstudy the question of fm migration while there?" "Study? I am not going over there to study.

There are thousands, both men and women, who do not take time to eat properly. They rush through life, and as a result we have an age of indiges tion, nervousness, irritability, sleepless nights, and morose disposition. Our national danger is stomach weakness, due to the strenuous life. With the discovery of Mi-o-na tab lets, which strengthen the walls of the stomach and stimulate secretion of the digestive juices, there is no longer any excuse for indigestion. Sick headaches, palpitation, yellow skin and coated tongue are a few of the many distressing results of indiges tion that Mi-o-na never fails to cure. Laurens Drug Co. sell Mi-o-na in 50 cent boxes, and guarantee to refund the money if it does not give complete satisfaction. Final Settleme.it.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary disease and should not be tolerated for a single day now that Hyomei is so gen erally known and has made so many cures in Laurens and other towns. Modern science has disproved the old theory that catarrh was a blood disease. It is a germ trouble, and the remedy is Hyomei, which medicates the air you breathe, killing all catarrhal germs. As^there is life and health in the air of th'e pine forests, filled with fragrant and healing balsams, so there is life and health in breathing- Hyomei. So sure is this prescription to cure even the worst cases or catarrh that Laurens Drug Co. sell it under an ab solute guarantee to refund the money if it does not do all that is claimed for it.
