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.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
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.

lion. Joseph T. Johnson.
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.
