SI'F.Nl) YOUR MONEY AT HOME. An Article From The Manning Times There is an old saying that "every man is a prophet save in his own coun try." This axiom applies equally as well to your home town, that whatever produced in another locality is sup posed to be superior to what can be produced or obtained at your own doors. No town can make the desired and always to bo hoped for progress by sending off for what you may require to neighboring towns and cities. This method of supplying your needs must of necessity retard and restrict the business advancement of a town. There should be entertained and main tained a pride and desire to build up and develop your home town, and this can only ho accomplished by endeavor ing to secure whatever you may need at your home. By this means trade will be stimulated, a larger demand will be created for merchandise of every de scription, and consequently larger lines of goods will be carried by the commer cial clement of the town, who will nat urally be compelled to purchase in larger quantities, thereby enjoying every advantage possessed by the mer chants of neighboring points, increased volumes of commodities will exert an influence on the railroad officials, who will give reduced rates and better fa cilities. An increased trade will make a pros perous town, which goes without say ing, wHl induce capitalists at home and abroad to invest money, aud a progres sive town draws strangers to our gates and fresh blood will have a tendency to produce extra exertion and inject a spirit of rivalry, which will be surely the means of increasing the resources of our town, which will in time assume larger and more prosperous proportions. This spirit of rivalry will contribute to augment a natural desire for progress, until from a comparatively small town with limited business capacity the town will expand until we will be sharp com petitors of neighboring cities. All these advantages can only be at tained and enjoyed by patronizing and encouraging home industry, not alone by words, but the magic of the mighty dollar. 1 .et there he a concerted movement to get together and develop our town so it will be second to none in commer cial influence. Let us leave our money where we make it and good results will surely follow. "Health Coffee" is really the closest CollVe Imitation ever yet produced. .This clever Coffee Substitute was re cently produced by Dr. Shoop, of Ra cine, Wis. Not a grain of real Coffee in it either.

Contrary to the general opinion tuber culosis is no longer ti e scourge of so ciety, says the New York Times. Its place as a death-dealing destroyer has been taken by anotherdisease which is making great havoc the world over. This dominant slayer of the race is pi cumonia. It is now the most deadly of all diseases. Every year it is killing oil' about 110,000 persons in the United States. Allowing a mortality rate of pne-fifth of the total number of cases, this means that there are about 700,000 Cases annually in this country. In New York, with its sudden changes of weath er and severe winters, 36 in every 10,000 persons die of the disease every year. Boston comes next wit h a death rate of .'{0 in every 10,000, and Philadelphia and Chicago are not far behind. In some European cities, however, the ghastly rcsujts are much worse than in the United Slates, notably in Vienna, where pneumonia carries off 40 in every 10,000 persons every year. London's popula tion suffers severely from the inroads of the disease, as also of Stockholm ami other cities. Berlin is perhaps the bei i olf of the European cities in this respe? '; its mortality rate from pneu monia is about 10 in every 10,000. No Need of Suffering from Rheumatism. It is a mistake to allow rheumatism to become chronic, as the pain can al ways be relieved, and in most cases a Pain Palm. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes sleep and rest possible. Even in cases of long standing this lini ment should be used on account of the relief which it affords. 26 and BO cent Bi'/es for sale by Lauren^ Drug Co. ? _,_ bryan's Nomination Certain. Col.

The Advertiser came out last week and announced its platform in the fol lowing words: "Our platform: Whiskey drinking is dangerous to say the h ast of it. and as a citizen we refuse to help create de mand for a commodity which may harm us or others. "Our platform: Whi?kcy selling is wrong in principle, inherently wrong, and as a citizen and vot< r we refuse to authorize its sale." We congratulate not only Editor Honey, hut the county of I.aureus upon having a newspaper that prizes princi ple above everything else. It is a great thing for the people of that old county which has been ruin cursed for so many years to have such a newspaper. Of course some of the nu n who ad vocate the sale of liquor Will slander him and his newspaper. They cannot help it. That is the stock in trade of most of the men who stand on that side, but it will all amount to nothing. Truth is eternal and it is bound to win in the end in spite of the lying slander ers of the enemy of all that is good. And what is more, it will not be long before a newspaper that stands for the liquor traffic will not be tolerated in any conmuinity. ?Greenwood Journal. An Unwilling Sacrifice. One hundred trunks full of feminine finery, belonging to the sweet girls of Winthrop, were burned to ashes in a baggage car at Rock Hill yesterday. Was there ever, since the days of Savanarola's pyres of vanity in Florence, such a sacrifice to the insatiable flames? 0, the pity of it! Charleston Evening Post. Those New berry Husbands. A Laurens woman says that "a hus band is such a handy man around the house." She went on to tell how he could wash the dishes and on a pinch get a very good meal. A Newberry woman finds her husband quite a handy man also, for he "picks up chips and minds the baby; then he is company, too." But most Newberry husbands spend mighty little time around the house except nights and Sundays. Newberry Observer. True! Too True. Candidate Blease, by the way, has changed his platform since his last ef fort for gubernatorial honors. Laurens Advertiser. How many times has Gov. Ansel changed his platform in the last six years. Most of our leaders are rather followers than leaders. We have a recollection that is somewhat distinct that all of our candidates for governor six years ago were whoopers up of the State dispensary system, including the present governor. Two years ago Gov. Ansel won on the platform of abolish ing the State institution and having lo cal county option as between county dispensary and prohibition. Now he stands for Stale wide prohibition. Somewhat a follower of the tide of public opinion as he interprets it. Newberry News and Herald. The Need ol Men. "The Index is deeply gratified to note the great interest which is being taken over the country in the important mat ter of sending a strong delegation to the Legislature from this county. "The need of good, strong, sensible men can be illustrated by an incident in last week's Slate Convention. In the midst of a parliamentary tangle when it took close attention and no little mental effort to know where one was at one Greenwood delegate, new to the business, turned to another Greenwood delegate in the same boat and said, 'Suppose this was the Legislature, what chance would a pco-WCO have to get anything accomplished?' And the other delegate answered, not elegantly, but forcibly, 'As much as a tallow legged man would have in a walking match in Hades.' And so he would." Green wood Index. Stomach Troubles.

Dreams ami Nightmares. Many of our commonest dreams are occasioned by bodily conditions or sur roundings. Loosened sheets at the foot of the bed on a cold night soon deposit a sleeper's feet in rivers or snow banks, just as a second helping at dinner or a tendency to lie on one's back in bed readily conjures up whole l< gions of spooks. Certain evidence on this point was collected in Dr. G. Stanley Hall's psychological laboratory at Clark Uni versity from personal testimony. From this it would appear that children prefer animals for their nightmares, whereas adults incline toward burglars, jailers and the like. Lad} 'a Realm.

Palmetto I ll'Ug I o. Another Laurens Church Speaks Out. A week or two ago we published n notice of the step taken by the First Baptist church, of Laurens, in deciding to discipline any members who vote for the sale of liquor. We felt confident that this good ex ample would be followed, and sure enough the Advertiser reproduces a letter from the Raptist Courier written to that paper by Thomas H. Hurts,from which we take the following: "At our last conference the church took high ground in favor of temper ance and prohibition against the use of liquor as a beverage and its sale legal or illegal, by private individuals or cor porations, and wo went on record in the following resolutions: "That it is the duty of every church member to abstain from its use and take his stand for total prohibition. "That it is the duty of every member of this church to vote against the traffic and sale of the same whenever an op portunity is afforded. "I believe the time has come when Christian people must take a decided stand for the right, have convictions and stand by them. "I hope to let you hear from us later on. *' The name of this church is Union and it is in Laurens county, and the pastor is KeV. W. D. Hammett. This is not the end. The day is coming when no decent man will dare raise his voice in the interest of the liquor traflic. It will not then be necessary for churches to discipline their members for voting for the sale of whiskey. There are some mighty good people in Laurens.? Greenwood Journal.

Hut just when it came into general use is a mystery. In Biblical times cleansing agents were used. The books of .Job and Jere miah contain the word "soap." Hut this is merely a convenient use of the word in translation. The Hebrew word "borrith," for wdiich it was submitted, is a general term for cleaning sub stances. What these substances were is unknown, but were probably little like the modern soap. Pliny speaks of the invention of soap by the Cauls, wdio, however, used it only as a sort of pomade or hair dress ing. He also refers to the use of both hard soap and soft soap by the (icr mans. The use of fuller's earth which has saponaceous qualities, for cleansing purposes, was known to the Romans.? Philadelphia Kvening Telegraph. Sore Nipples.
