Traynham Guards Working Hard. |^ From the activities of the local com I pany of the State militia, one readily realizes that it intends to be the best drilled, all-round finest company ofNthe 1st regiment at the Chicamauga en campment this summer. Rev. W. E. Callender, chapl ain of the company, re marked Friday afternoon that it was ins firm belief that, the Laurens boys would show up better than any other company at Chicamauga, "for" said he "they are working like Trojans and know how to drill." Besides the regular marching and drill with arms, the company has been for some weeks practicing on every Thursday afternoon the target shooting and the "extended order." The way they have been running through those woods, jumping ditches and climbing hills on the practice grounds in the suburbs is calculated to train them in the manoeuvres that will be executed at the ireneral encampment. Captain Babb states that his company has already reached a remarkable degree of proficiency in this work. At a meeting Thursday afternoon Mr. J. L. M. Irby was elected second lieutenant vice Mr. M. L. Nash, re signed. The company has a full corps of efficient officers and is just cause for pride on the part of Laurens people. Religion in Politics. This topic is being much discussed by our people just now, and the following editorial from the Newberry Observer is one of real merit and interest : It is a strange idea some people have against the "mixing of religion and politics." The foundation of the idea was a good one?the separation of church and state; so that the church can have no authority to control a man's political opinions or actions. It never was in tended that religion should be kept out of politics, or that religious men should keep silent on political questions and turn over the whole business of run ning the state to the irreligious. If religion means anything, and the history of the ages proves that it does mean a great deal, then the more there is of it in politics the better it is for politics. It is the highest absurdity to require public officers to take an oath "So help ?ne Cod," to put on the coin of the '?calm "In Cod we trust," to debar in fidels from holding offices, and then say t hat we must not "mix religion and politics." There should be no objection made to "mixing politics and religion" if the "mixing" did not have a tendency to break up the schemes of the liquor sellers and the grafters and others who want to fatten off the weaknesses and follies and crimes of their fellowmen. Chairman Boyden of the anti-prohi tion party of North Carolina, on Tues day night, when it looked as if prohibi tion had failed, issued a statement in which he said: "The vote indicates that the people of North Carolina arc against, the mixing of religion with politics." This is drawing the line pretty clearly ?and is an unconscious tribute to reli gion, in that, he ascribes to it the at tempt to better the condition of the people; and it is an unconscious tribute to the people of North Carolina, in that it attributes the voting out of liquor to religious convictions. Members of churches who contend lor barrooms and for dispensaries or other means of soiling liquor must find some embarrassment in the classifica tion that is made by Mr. Boyden, and in the alignment with which they find themselves arrayed. As life becomes more and more tense and active and ideas take shape and crystallze, all including politicians must, (take their stand on one side or the other of moral questions, in politics as well as in everything else. The day is passed for stroddlors. It is one side or the other for everybody. No (Need of Suffering fron? Rheumatism. It is a mistake to allow rheumatism to become chronic, as the pain can al ways be relieved, and in most cases a eure effected by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes sleep and rest possible. Evon in cases of long standing this lini ?li it should be used on account of the relief which it affords. 25 and 50 cent ii'\u'H for sale by Laurens Drug Co. /*cw Stahles Building. Work on the new sales and livery stables building Of Messrs. J. F. Hicks & Son, has been begun and is now rap idly progressing. At present this firm is doing business in their frame build ing on South Harper street, but this (being inadequate for the accommoda tion of as much stock as is desired and required for their growing busi ness, the proprietors decided to erect a ng\V, modern hr'wk stable on South iStreet, just around the corner from the old stand. This is an excellent site for Abe stables and the new building will be -quite an addition to the number of ^iew fttructures iy>iy in the course of erection. Stomach Troubles.

ENCAMPMENT TALK IN FIRST REGIMENT Members Getting Ready 1? (io to Chicka* maugn in July?The Orders. About $250,000 is the cost of the en campment that congress lias determined shall be held at Chickamauga park this year, beginning July 1st. Preparations are going forward in anticipation of it. It will be different from the encamp ment two years ago, in that there will be more problems tussled with and less marching. At the former encampment the soldiers marched lot) miles to their bivouacing ground and then continued to march at the rate of many miles per day. When they returned their de scription of the march, while perhaps not strikingly chaste, was'intensely em phatic. The government has realized that the work put oil the soldiers was too severe and has derided to lessen their labors. Quite a number of experiments will he made on this inarch, notably a sys tem of tireless cooking. In a limited fashion this experiment was made two years ago. Preparations, however, are now being made to try it out in an ex tensive fashion in the course of this year's jaunt to Chickamauga. This innovation is one that promises Lto be of great value. It amounts to this: Certain vessels have been so contrived that they retain heat to a remarkable degree. When breakfast is being pre pared these vessels are also filled with whatever happens to compose the menu for dinner, are thoroughly heated, placed in commissary wagons, retain their heat on the inarch, the food cooks while the soldiers are trudging though there is no lire in sight, and dinner is ready when they halt for a midday snack. The following militia troops will at tend: Three regiments infantry, Geor gia, July 1 to 10; three regiments in fantry, one troop cavalry, one battery field artillery, Mississippi, July 13to 21; two regiments infantry, Tennessee; two regiments infantry, Virginia; three regiments, Alabama, July 2.'1 to Aug. 1. Also two batteries field artillery, Ala bama, and one regiment, South Caro lina.-The State. Girls' Trunks burned. A special from Keck Hill Wednesday morning to The News and Courier says: About one hundred trunks belonging to Winthrop students who were pre pared to leave for home were burned at the railroad station here this morning shortly before 1 o'clock after having been loaded into a special baggage car. While the car was being loaded a lamp on the inside exploded and before the firemen reached the scene the damage had been done. The top of the car was almost entirely destroyed and all the baggage practically ruined. Ti e car contained between ninety-live and a hundred trunks and a number of grips and packing cases, the property of stu dents going to Columbia or points be yond. The loss is estimated at about $12,000, the damage to the car amount ing to about $2,000, and the railroad company being liable for $l<n? on each trunk. 'Sore Nipples. Any mother who has had experience with this distressing ailment will be pleased to know thai a cure may be ef fected by applying Chamberlain's Salvo as soon as the child is done nursing. Wipe It Ott with a soft cloth before al lowing the babe to nurse. Many trained nurses use this salve with best results. For sale bv Laurens Drug Co. Partners, Hold Your Cotton. President Harris, of the State Far mers' Union, has issued the following circular to the 26,000 members of the order in this State: "Cotton has advanced $7.50 per bale in ten days and if we will hold to it, and not be influenced to sell, it will in the next ten days make the same ad vance and the minimum will be reach ed! Remember the 1007 crop is 4,500, 000 bales short. This makes cotton scarce, not enough for consumption. Crop conditions the lowest in twenty years. "On the 24th, Toxas and Oklahoma were visited by the most destructive flood that ha;; ever been known. "On May 10th, our national president, C. S. Barrett, issued a circular letter, asking the union men to plow up 10 per cent, of the cotton planted and put it in food crops. One million acres has been report ed plowed up. This looks as if the hoys mean business and will stand behind their guns. "Do not listen to those who tell you to sell, it is going lower, when they know it will go upward by June. "Do not forget that corn is $1.10 per bushel and plenty of time to plant yet. Well filled corn cribs and smoke houses will always make cotton bring the minimum price, "Both the BuropCnn and American mills an; about out of cotton, so hohl U> your spots and get the minimum price."

Ask Dr. Snoop, Racine, VVis., to mail it. Ask the Doctor in strictest confi dence any questions you wish answered. Dr. Shoop's Night Cure is sohl by Pal metto Drug Co, Prohibition in Georgia. In rebuttal to Gov. George W. Peek's sarcastic and misleading correspondence in the "Courier Journal" of late dates c?ncerning prohibitory laws in Knox ville, Tonn., and in Georgia it is grati fying to see the following in the June "Cosmopolitan Magazine" by John Temple Graves: "Three months ago the red lights faded from the Georgia saloon and not a symptom of financial distress can be traced to the new re gime. . . Not a financial failure has been credited to the reform. . . Not a dollar has been dropped from the stiff value of real estate in Georgia's capi tal. . . Every gilded saloon has been re-opened as a mart of fashion of trade. . . The occupation of the police judges, for a time at least, is gone. . . The sessions of the city court have dwindled to proportions which glorify the law. . . Since the first of January there has been no negro assault on a woman to arouse the State. . . Land lords speak of better rents and prompter payments, employers of labor describe an advance in home life and home com fort among workingmen, and but for the general financial stringency which has depressed the country it is claimed that rejoicing would even now be going through the Georgia valleys like a song. " Christian Observer May20. To stop any pain, anywhere in 20 minutes, simply take just one of Dr. Shoop'a Pink Pain Tablets. Pain means congestion ? blood pressure -that is all. Dr. Shoop's Headache?or Pink Pain Tablets?will quickly coax blood pres sure away from pain centers. After that pain is gone. Headache, Neural gia, painful periods with women, etc., get instant help. 20 Tablets 26c. Sold by Palmetto Drug Co. "Why should a soldier never lose bis head in battle?" asked the teacher. " 'Cause he'd have nothing to hang his cap on if he did." answered small Harold. "Health Coffee" is really the closest Coffee Imitation ever yet produced. This clever ColTee Substitute was re cently produced by Dr. Shoop, of Pa cine, Wis. Not a grain of real Coffee in it either. Dr. Snoop's Health Coffee is made from pure toasted grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it would fool an expert who might drink it for Cof fee. No 20 or SO minutes tedious boil ing. "Made in a minute," says the doctor. Sold by J. M. Philpot. Anccslry. Jones (just introduced to Mr. Patrick Hooligan) "Glad to know you, Mr. Hooligan. Let's sec -er--what Hooli gan are you? Who were your ances tors?" Pat? "Ancisters? Phawt's thim?" "Why, they're the people you spring from." "Well now look here, ye blathering spalpeen, 1 want you to undhcrstand that the Hooligans spring from nobody they spring at thim." If one feels dull and spiritless, in the spring or early summer, they call it "Spring Fever." But there is no fe ver usually. It is the after effect of our winter habits. The nerves are mostly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid, lifeless, and without spirit or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop's Restorative will absolutely and quickly change all of these depressing symptoms. The Restorative, of course, won t bring you back to full health in a day or two, but it will do enough in <JX hours to satisfy you that the remedy is reaching that "tired spot." Druggists everywhere are advising its use as a splendid and prompt general tonic. It gives more vim and more spirit to the spoonful than any other known nerve or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a failing appetite, aids digestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings new life, strength and ambition. Test it a few days and be convinced. Pal metto Drug Co. About Clerks. "The fellow who never does any more than he gets paid for never gets paid for any more than he does." And that's the truth. That clerk who is so dead particular about quitting* the minute the clock strikes need not worry about how he will spend his money when he gets to be boss. The clerk who isn't willing to keep his stock shined up and his goods in ap ple-pie order, who isn't "awake good" until he's had a "dope" and who can't liven up until he's seen the sporting page, needn't bother himself so much about how much pay he'll begetting as how long he'll be getting it. Occa sionally even the "old man" sees through a thing. And he hates a na ture fake. Weak Women To woftk and ailing women, them It at least ono way 'x> help.
