LAUKENS COUNTY IS NOW INCLUDED In the Systematic Work of Eradicating the Tick. The Clemson College trustees, co-op erating with the United States Agricul tural Department, are engaged in the work of eradicating the cattle or Texas fever tick in this State. Last year this work was carried on in the counties of Greenville, Anderson, Pickens and Oco nee, the undertaking meeting: with en couraging results. Beginning on the first of July Dr. W. A. Myers, representing the United States Department of Agriculture, was assigned to a new division, including Laurens, Greenwood, Abbeville and other counties. Dr. Myers is an expe rienced veterinary and he will direct the work in this division during the coming year. In Laurens county Dr. Myers will have the assistance of two special agents, Messrs. Jas. M. Williams, of Mountville, and G. C. McEachern, of Greenville county. Dr. Myers and his local men were in the city several days last week organizing and arranging for their campaign. In the last issue of Tne Advertiser appeared an article giving the scope and bentfits of the tick eradication work and today a "Notice to Cattle Owners" is printed which should be read by all our farmers.

We have always noticed this one fact: the majority of the people who fight prohibition so bitterly do it from one of two causes, namely: they either want the whiskey or they want the money there is in the business.

While everyone has a right to his own Opinion, yet it is wise to always con sider what others think and profit by it. Nothing makes life so miserable, or interferes so widely with the usefulness of the average American as indigestion, and it is well for us to give fair consid eration to what others think about this remarkable affliction. Laurens Drug Co. are positive that in Mi-o-na stomach tablets the have an absolute cure for indigestion and the many disagreeable symptoms that fol low this disease, such as distress after eating, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, dizziness, flatulence and nervous ness. Their action in selling Mi-o-na on a guarantee to refund the money unless it cures shows plainly their belief in the value of this remedy. J. L. M.

The last issue of the Clinton Gazett . contains an interesting; article from Dr. W. P. Jacobs on the origin of tne name Clinton. Dr. Jacobs says: "In yours of last week I notice the kindly reference to myself with the re quest that I give the origin of the name Clinton for this town. I have never seen the following statement in print, but I heard it in 1864, just after coming to what was then the little town of Clinton, and can only vouch for it as traditional. It is said that there was about 1852-3 a very strenuous discussion as to the future name of the promising little railroad town which was then the terminus of the road and which was showing signs of having considerable vitality. "One party advocated the name 'Round Jacket' in honor of one of its citizens whose favorite habiliment was of that class, while others advocated the name of 'Five Points,' then notori ous in connection with New York roughs and toughs. The idea was that five roads came together at this point nnd hence the appropriateness of the desig nation. "At the height of this discussion, however. Mr. Henry Clinton Young, of Laurens, a man of high character, a lawyer, much liked in this section of the country and a gentleman whose life and whose professions corresponded, happened to pass by, when the sugges tion was nade to name the town of Clinton in his honor. It was heartily seconded and carried and it was not many years before the town itself aspired to the ideal set by Mr. Henry . Clinton Young, and is today known far and wide for the straight-forward in tegrity of its people. Mr. Young was living in Laurens for a number of years after I moved to this town. I knew him well and believe that the statement made as to the naming of the town is the correct one. "Thanking you for the Inquiry, I am, "Very truly yours, "W. P. JACOBS."
