Abbeville was visited Friday morning with a disastrous fire which destroyed about $50,000 worth of property with only $20,000 insurance. The fire origi nated in the old Alston house, an annex to the Glen Ethel Inn. The Glen Ethel Inn was a large three story brick building, the upstairs por tion of which was used as a hotel. On the ground floor were three stores oc cupied by A. B. Cheatham, 0. H. Cobb and R. L. Oargan. Mrs. Mary Taggart was proprietor of the hotel and had a very large number of guests. The hotel property was owned by Mrs. J. L. Ancrum, of Charles ton, and was worth about $26,000, with insurance of $8,200. A. B. Chisolm valued his stock at 1^6,000, with insurance of $3,500. A. IL Colib, stock, $8,000; insuranco, $3,000. R. L. Oargan, stock, $0,000; insur ance, $3,G00^ One day last winter little Eloise was looking at a fall of unusually large snowflakea.

H. Nash, now of Atlanta, but a native of Greenville county just across the line from Laurens, was a visitor in the city last week. Col. Nash is almost eighty years of age but is hearty and hale, looking scarcely over fifty. He lias been in Greenville attend ing the Furman commencement Con cerning him the Greenville papers have the following: "Mr. Jas. H. Nash, of Atlanta, who was a member of the second class grad uated from Furman university (in 1856), is an interested visitor at commence ment. "Mr. Nash is a native of the Fair view section of Greenville county and has been living in Georgia for naif a century. He is now past the three score and ten and is still a man of fine physique, looking not a day over (it). On the college campus he has been given quite an ovation, and his reminis cences of the university's early days are listened to with avidity by the stu dents of the younger generation." Col. Nash spent several days here with his relatives, Messrs. M. L. and J. H. Nash. He was accompanied on this visit by his wife, who has not been in I. aureus for some years. The many friend*' of these former Carolinians were delighted with their visit ben-. It is known that Col. Nash was a very distinguished statesman of the Confed eracy, he having been clerk of the Con federate senate at Richmond and active in all matters of State pertaining to the cause of the South.

Almost every day there are exhibited two and three excellent films, some of which are hand-painted. Mr. Roman always endeavors to have at least one hand-painted picture at each show. The entertainments are fine, deserving full and large patronage by the people of Laurens. Constitution oi Baptist Institute. At the recent meeting of the Laurens Baptist Sunday School Institute the following constitution was adopted: 1. This organization shall be known as the Laurens Baptist Sunday School Institute. 2. The purpose of this Institute is to increase the interest in Sunday school work, to enlist a greater number in the schools, to improve the teaching force both in efficiency and devoted consecra tion, to develop in the hearts of our people a greater love for the G OS pel truth, to awaken a deeper earnestness in the study of the Bible, to cultivate a spirit of benovolcnce and evangeliza tion and to improve in a general way the Sunday school cause in our churches. 3. The officers of this body shall he a president, four vice-presidents (oho from each Union division of the Asso ciation) and a secretary-treasurer, all of whom shall be elected annually on the last day of each annual meeting. These officers shall perform respectively the duties usually devolving upon such officers in similar organizations. 4. The president and four vice-presi dents shall constitute an Executive Committee, whose duty it shall be to take general oversight of the Sunday school work in this Institute, toprcpaie and publish programmes for the annual meetings of this body and to appoint the time and place of meeting when not otherwise provided for by the Institute. 6. It shall be the special duty of each vice-president, under the general lead ership of the president, to look after the Sunday school interest in his Union, to plan meetings, visit the schools, con duct rallies, special days, etc., as he and the president may deem wise. I). The meetings of the Laurens Bap tist Sunday School Institute shall be held annually, in May of each year: Provided that some Other time may be appointed if circumstances so justify and the body so elect. 7. This body shall be composed of representatives from the Sunday schools of Laurens Association as follows: Every school shall hi? entitled to two (2) delegates, and those whose enroll' ment exceeds filty pupils shall be enti tled to one additional dolcgntfl for eat h additional fifty pupils enrolled or ma jority fraction thereof: Provided that the ollicer.s of this Institute; and al Baptist ministers of this Association shall lie ex officio member of this body, Exira Fruit Jar Tops and rubbers at S.

Hire Danger in Schools. In a recent issue of the Insurance Press a list of 300 or 400 American cities whose school houses were lacking in fire protection to a degree that the lives of the pupils arc not free from danger was published. This list in cluded half a dozen or more of the principal cities and towns in South Car olina, but in all of the states. "We do not write insurance on school houses; our companies instruct us not to, "said one of the most prominent fire insurance oflicials in the South (not a Charleston man.) "The hazard of of fire is greater than in almost any other class of buildings." The same gentleman, and he is an authority, said: "Every school building should be equipped with exterior metal exits, and the children should be drilled to use them. Once the interior of a building is filled with smoke, the fire drill, no matter how thorough, cannot prevent panic and the number of inte rior stairways and exits cannot be great enough to insure safety." The immediate or early reformation of all the defective school houses of more than one story in South Carolina is not to be hoped for. Progress towards improvement must necessarily be slow, but ought to be steady and sure. The time should come when the danger of a "Collinwood disaster" will not exist in South Carolina. Meantime, new school buildings are being erected in South C* >*olina and of each proper Ore escapes s. uld be feat ures. At comparatively trivial ex pense, external metal stairways could be constructed and they should always be included in the architect's plans and specifications.--The News and Courier. A GOOD REASON. Laurens People Can Tell You Why It Is So. Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that is why the cures are always lasting. This remedy strength ens and tones up the kidneys, helping them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary com plaints. Laurens people testify to per manent cures. W. H. Franks, 401 Chestnut street, Laurens, S. (',., says: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills at various times for several years and think them the best kidney remedy that can be had. I was bothered a great deal by pains through the small of my back and did not know what, to do to obtain relief until Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention. 1 purchased a box at the Palmetto Drug Co. and they proved to be just the remedy I needed, giving me relief in a short time. My wife also thinks highly of them and joins me in recommending them to others both ered in a similar way." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo.

When it is the morning after the night before you do not have to look at your tongue to know that the stomach is upset, the head is aching with a dull rhythm, and that all the world looks dreary. The real time to watch the tongue is ail of the time. If it is coated with a white fur, or possibly with dark trim mings, even though the stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of indi gestion that it needs help, yet the coat ing shows that you are getting into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na. Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so re liable in its curative action upon the stomach that Laurens Drug Co., the local agents, give an absolute guarantee with every 50-cent box the sell to re fund t he money unless the remedy give* absolute and complete satisfaction.
