HEYWARD RESIGNS OFFICIAL DUTIES To Devote His Time to His Campaign for the U. S. Senate. Ex-Gov. D. C. Heyward has resigned the presidency of the Standard Ware house Company. The resignation was ^accepted at a meeting of the board of directors yesterday. The business of this enterprise has grown so much, and there are so many details to be looked after, that Gov. Heyward considered that, in justice to the directors, he should resign, as he has entered into the campaign for a seat in the United States Senate. Gov. Heyward will continue as president of the Columbia Savings Bank and Trust Company, for that requires now very little of his time, being solely a savings institu tion. Gov. Hey ward has been president of the warehouse company since its or ganization. There are several branches ?at Columbia, Newberry, Greenwood, Anderson, Orangeburg and elsewhere. It is not known who will succeed Gov. Heyward. A committee was appointed to take this matter in charge and to re port at a subsequent meeting. Gov. Hey ward said yesterday: "To many of my friends who liad urged me to become a candidate for the Senatelast fall I had said I was devot ing myself to business and was out of politics and could not see my way clear to become a candidate for the Senate without sacrificing my business inter ests. But the death of Senator Lati mer changed the political situation and I then decided to enter the race. As I expect to devote myself very largely to the campaign from now on I felt it only just to the warehouse company to give up the presidency of that con cern." Gov. Hey ward has already started on his campaign. He has visited many party of the State, and is receiving en couragement everywhere. He realizes that he has for opponents men who are themselves politically strong, but he feels all the more encouraged for that reason, because he is practically the last to announce himself.? State.

New York, April 2. Separated from her son, Wm. G. Cooper, of 184 Clare mont avenue, by nearly 100 miles, Mrs. Ella Cooper, of Philadelphia, on Sun day night dreamed she saw him killed by a Sixth avenue elevated train. So vivid was the mother's dream that she hurried to this city. Her route across the town from the Pennsylvania Railroad ferry lay through West Twenty-third street. By a re markable coincidence she reached Sev enth avenue a few seconds after her son had been struck and seriously in jured by an east-bound trolley car. From the window of the car in which she was seated she recognized the face of the man lying on the ground Sur rounded by a large crowd. She jumped from the car and rushed to his side. When he regained con sciousness his mother's face was the first thing that met his gaze. Believ ing her to be in Philadelphia, he could not account for her presence. In his dazed condition the doctors who responded with the ambulance from the New York hospital thought it best not to tell him of the psychic phe nomenon which had brought her to his side. Mrs. Cooper bore up bravely during the strange reunion, but when the am bulance drove away she fainted. How badly Cooper is injured it will be im possible to tell for several days.

"When Smith Came Home," which | is to be presented at the Opera House in Laurens on Friday, April 17, proba bly has more funny characters in it than any farce ever written. There is the innocent but excitable man who has been entrapped into becoming one of a band of anarchists and who labors un der the delusion that eve/yone is an hk i>t from them bent on accomplishing his death. Then there is the man who writes tracts and never takes anything alcoholic, but who is discovered in' a most amusing state of intoxication. There is an amateur detective who pines to outrival Sherlock Holmes and who goes about tracing unknown crimes to the doors of unsuspecting persons. Then there is the butler and his wife and a pretty little trained nurse who get themselves and everyone else in volved in the most extraordinary pre dicament, not to mention several minor characters who add their share to the fun making. It is a real farce with real laughter and real enjoyment. This company will be here by a spe cial return engagement, having played in Laurens in February. Everyone who saw the company then was highly pleased and an overflowing house will greet them next Friday night. The Harn well Sentinel has thin to say: "The 'When Smith Came Home Com pany' played here on Monday and Tues day nights to good audiences and pleased all who went out to hear them. This is a good company and whenever they come back to Bamwell they are sure of a hearty welcome and a full house." Patronize Roman's Moving Picture show at the opera house.

"Health Coffee' is really the closest I coffee imitation ever yet produced. This clever coffee substitute was recently Ereduced by Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis. Tot a grain of real coffee in it. Health coffee is made from pure toasted cereals with malt, nuts, etc. Really it would fool an expert who might drink it for coffee. No twenty to thirty minutes' tedious boiling. "Made in a minute" says the doctor. Sold by J. M. Philpot. Notice Cotton (Jrowers. To Cotton Growers of South Carolina: The executive committee of the South Carolina division of the Southern Cot ton Association has requested me to is sue an address in reference to the acre age for 1908. Whatever may be the motives that prompt it, it is a fact, nevertheless, that the cotton mills in America are running on short time?some limiting their hours per day, and others run ning only certain days in the week. | The effect of this will be to curtail the consumption of raw cotton. It is unquestionably true that we have made a small crop?in fact so small that if the mills were running on full time it would hardly prove ade quate to the demand. It is earnestly desired by the manufacturing interests to so curtail the use of raw cotton that they will have on hand a surplus at the time the new crop comes in. If the acreage in cotton is not re , duced we will be confronted, perhaps, by a surplus of the old crop and a large acreage staring us in the face. With these conditions the price of cotton I would be put below the cost of produc . tion. ! The effect upon every branch of in dustry and the people throughout the . South would be pitiable indeed if we are again to have low price cotton. The situation is entirely in the hands of the farmer, and I earnestly plead ? that they raise an abundance of home supplies, and this in itself will neces ' sarily reduce the cotton acreage. I can assure the farmers of South Carolina i that throughout the Southern States an earnest appeal is being made to the farmers to adopt the course which I recommend to you. I deem it my duty to sound this note of warning in ample time to forestall a large crop for 1908. If we can make our supplies at home, our debts will be small and will not need much cotton to pay them. Let every farmer profit by the experience of the past and make enough at home to enable him to be master of the situ ation. One course offers continued prosperity; the other financial embar rassment, inabilitv to meet your obli gation and the thousands of other evils that exist in the South when cot ton is cheap. Hold your spots and plant provisions. E. D. SMITH. Columbia, S. C. The Jumping Off Place. "Consumption had me in its grasp, and I had almost reached the jumping off 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 taking one dozen bottles I was a well and happy man again," says George Moore, of Grimesland, N. 0. As a remedy for coughs and colds and henler 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.

The King's Daughter's have the work in hand and thus far their efforts have met with en couraging results. To augment the fund already in hand they have planned a novel scheme which is designated "Tag Day." On the 21st day of April contribution boxes will be placed in the various stores about the city and as each contributor deposits his or her do nation a tag will be presented to be worn the remainder of the day; no one will have the face to walk the streets of Laurens on that day without a tag. Tag day is looked forward to with great expectations toward the hospital build ing. EAT WHAT YOU WANT Science Has Now Found the True Way to Cure Indigestion. The first thing to do in the case of in digestion or stomach weakness is to j strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, so that the food digests readily and its nourish ment is retained in the system to build up energy and vitality. Use Mi-o-na and you will have no more sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue* spots before tho eyes, sleeplessness and the many other symptoms that are the di rect result of indigestion. Laurens Drug Co. gives with every 60-cent box of Mi-o-na a guarantee to refund the money unless the romedy cures. In Shoes.

Genuine happiness is seldom purchased in a lump. If there is a skeleton in the closet keep the door shut. The rivers we fished in when a boy are nothing but creeks now. The foolishness of yesterday is not cured by the regreta of today. People who struggle to keep up ap pearances usually give their case away. Life is like a cistern?what you get out of it depends upon what you put into it. When a man doesn't amount to much he is apt to lay the blame on "environ ment." Men successfully tackle big responsi bilities only after having practiced up on little ones. A lot of men who think they are keeping step with tho march of pro gress are only marking time. , The trouble with most of us is that we'd rather sit around and kill giants than to get up and tackle a few little pigmies.

Notice. * Waterloo Democratic Club will meet at Moore's on Saturday, the 28th, 1908, at 3 p. m. J. H. WHARTON, Pres. That languid, lifeless feeling that comes with spring and early summer can be quickly changed to a feeling of buoyancy ana energy by the judicious use of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. The Restorative is a genuine tonic to tired, run-down nerves, and but a few doses is needed to satisfy the usor that Dr. Shoop's Restorative is actually reach ing that tired spot. The indoor life of winter nearly always leads to sluggish j bowels and to sluggish circulation in general. The customary lack of exer cise and outdoor air ties up the liver, stagnates the kidneys, and ofttimes weakens the heart's action. Use Dr. Shoop's Restorative a few weeks and all will be changed. A few days' test will tell you that you arc using the right remedy. You will easily and surely note the change from day to dav. Sold by Palmetto Drug Co.

It is a good time to consider shades. We are showing BRENLIN, the new shade mate rial, that is closely woven and supple, without filling of any kind. Opaque shades are made of a loose cloth, thick ened and stiffened with chalk. When used, the breaking of this chalk makes the shades crack. This makes the conspicuous, unsightly "pinholes" and "lines" so often seer. Brrnl-in is a genuine serviceable shade that won't crack It is a big improvement over other shades, and is one more evidence of the pains we always take to have the best to show you.
