Laurens Supplies Them All. The predatory methods of the Char lotte Observer are beginning to spread alarm throughout the up-country of South Carolina, and the Laurens Ad vertiser, which would take no risks, thus fortifies the city of Laurens: "He fore the Charlotte Observer claims him we beg to state that Mayor Clarence M. Babb was not born in North Caro lina." The Advertiser has already sot up the bokl claim that Laui ns pos sesses a better mayor than either New berry or Greenwood, and that is a prop osition that remains to be threshed out. Surely the Advertiser would not insinu ate that the mayors of Newberry and Greenwood were born in North Caro lina? That would be a terrific assault, ami, besides, the mayor of Newberry was born in Laurens, and Laurons for merly supplied Greenwood with mayors. --News and Courier. He tint Wiial He Needed.

If Furred and Coated it is a Warning of Trouble to Conic. 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 all of the time. If it is coaled 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-Ccnt box the sell to re fund the money unless the remedy gives | absolute and complete satisfaction.

Mr. McGownn, th<' Washington eor rcspondont for the News and Courier, in a recent article about the South Car olina Congressmen lias some compli mentary references to lion. Joseph T. Johnson, of the Fourth district. Mr. Johnson is a native of Laurens, in whom all his fellows justly feel a pride. Following is the comment: Mr. Johnson, as the representative of the 4th district, spent much of his time since Christmas in the prepara tion of the public buildings bill, vvh :h was passed oil (lie last day of the session, carrying with it an appropria- j lion of nhout $25,000,000. Ho secured $50,000 I'm- Union and $50,000 for I.an 1*0118 and indue time both Ilms?' pro gressive towns will have magnificent public buildings. I or a long time there was a belief that after all the president might veto this hill unless a currency hill was passed, and it is still thought that such might have been the case hut for t he sudden passage of the latter hill in the sonnte on the last day of the session.
