The Advertiser is delighted that its opinions on so many questions meet the approval of tho ministem here and else where. It is also a source of deep gratification that our methods and pol icies do not require us to be always en deavoring to besmirch the reputation of these Christian men. Our platform obviates thai necessity. Some years ago the howl was always raised about "the court house ring run ning the politics of the county." The county dispensary is now the center around which the ring moves and op erates. Bad roads is oneof the heaviest, taxes upon tin- people of I.aurens county. Tin? county dispensary is another; yet some otherwise good* business men talk about the revenue wo get. It is tho most expensive revenue and hard est tax the people are burdened with. There is a strong bond of sympathy between Bryan and Kern, the former having been twice defeated for public otlice and the latter thrice defeated. After the news of Kern's nomination the universal question was "Who is Kern?" In today's issue we beg to in troduce Hon. John Worth Kern. Why the superstitious folly in stop ping the clock at cue minute of twelve to prevent Bryan's nomination coming on a Friday. He was nominated on Friday and if that be the day of com mon disaster why not recognize it? While in the city last week Dr. E. M. Poteat of Furman university stated that Dr. S. A. Knapp Was, in his opinion, a remarkable man and speaker, doing a great work among the farmers. Dr. Knapp speaks in I.aurens on July 29th, at the Farmers' Institute. BRYAN AND KFRN. The national convention of the Dem ocratic party has nominated William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, and John Worth Kern, id' Indiana, for president and vice-president of the United States. For some months past it has been clear ly evident that Bryan would he nomi nated; the nomination of Kern came somewhat as a surprise. The former is probably the best known man in the Democratic party; the latter compara tively unknown outside his own State. Bryan and Kern compose the Demo cratic ticket for the November election. The Advertiser is a Democratic news paper; it will support the Democratic nominees. Before the convention met we OXprossed our opinion as being op posed to the nomination of Bryan, be lieving him incapable of leading the Democratic party to victory. We still believe he will he defeated. But there is a lighting chance and Bryan's elec tion is not beyond the pale of possibil ity however improbable we think it. The platform Upon which he is running will aid materially in vote getting, it being far superior to the Republican platform and containing planks favor able to the labor (dement of the coun try. Furthermore, it is free from the radical advocacy of government owner ship of railroads and the senseless nothings on imperialism that character ized former plat forms. Whether or not Bryan recommended that, these he in* corporated we do not know; at least the convention of 1908 had the good judg ment to leave them out. The currency, tariir and railroad planks are in accord with Democratic principles. As a whole the platform la sound and con servative and will greatly strengthen Bryan's chances to win. It is in the range of possibility that Kern will be able to carry his own State of Indiana although he has been three times defeated for public oflice. Should both Indiana and Nebraska go Demo cratic the possibilities of victory will he increased. The Democrats need not count on New York. The solid South will go for Bryan and Kern. As stated, there is a fighting chance nnd we are hoping for victory. We would wish that Bryan might carry the country as he carried the Denver con vention. Our gagged delegates are loose again enjoying real freedom. The ministers of Laurens are to be congratulated upon the stand they have taken on the whiskey question, both as to the drinking and the sale of it. Their recent sermons indicate that it is the unanimous desire and intent that their respective memberships shall so see their duty to the public an well as to themselves that they cannot in any degree help create a demand for intox icating liquors, nor can they authorize 1 its sale. These ministers have spoken in no uncertain terms on the question and while the mannerof their discourses differed somewhat in style the sum and substance of them were the same. The pastor of the Baptist church has never said that HE would expel any member who voted for the dispensary, notwith standing the rather contemptible mis representation on the part of enemies to the public good. Thinks it Saved Mis Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years for coughs and colds and 1 think it saved my life. I have found it .a reliable rem edy for throat and lung complaints and would no more be without, a bottle than I would be without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies. As a preventive of pneumonia and healer of weak lungs it has no equal.

Franks died at the home of Mrs. Mattie E. Rowland, near Ora, in the ninetieth year of her age. Sunday morning she was laid to rest in the old family burying ground a few miles east of Laurens, Mr. J. O. Tem pleton conducting the burial service. Miss Franks belonged to one of the oldest and most influential families of the Ora section and was the last of a family of ten brothers and sisters, one of whom, Mrs. Day, mother of Mr. Henry Day, lived to be ninety-five.

In addition to an interesting program of exercises by the children several ad dresses will be delivered by prominent speakers. The public are cordially in vited to attend. Boy's Lite* Saved. My little boy, four years old, had a severe attack of dysentery. We had two physicians; both of them gave him up. We then gave him Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy which cured him and believe that saved his life. William h. Stroling, Car bon Hill, Ala. There is no doubt but this remedy saves the livos of many children each year, (live it with castor oil according to the plain printed direc tions and a cure is certain. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. Mr. McMaster tn Laurens. Insurance Commissioner F. II. Mc Master, of Columbia, was in the city one day last week on a tour of inspec tion. He has been examining the vari ous insurance companies in a number of the up-country towns. Referring to Mr. McMaster's visit to Laurens The News and Courier says: "At Laurens he examined the State Mutual Fire Insurance Company, .1. A. Austin, president, and T. Ii. Nelson, secretary and treasurer. This company has about $1,100,0(K) insurance in force, and preceding the enact ment of the last Legislature it did a general State busi ness. It now confines its work to Lau rens and Greenville counties. The cost of its insurance has been about 65 to 75 cents per $100 a year. Its officers have drawn no salaries until this year, when its secretary has received $22.r> and the bookkeeper $7f> a month." Notice.

M. Jenkins, of this city, is that crops are layed by too early. This ob servation was noted in a recent letter to Dr. S. A. Knapp and here is the re ply: July 3, 1908. Mr. J. Mitchell Jenkins, District Agent, I.aurens, S. C. Dear Sir: Your letter of June 20th is handed to me on my return to my otlice this morning. You are entirely correct in stating that most farmers lay by their crops too early. We have tested it on bur dreds of farms and find that the late they cultivate, provided they use shal low cultivation, the better. We have sometimes increased the crop one-quar tor of a bale per acre by continuing the cultivation up until nearly the time of! picking the first bolls. Under boll wee vil conditions we always insist on late cultivation. It is the only way to I id tho boll v. devil. Very truly yours, S. A. KNAPP, Special Agent in Charge. s * ? Slaw Dressing.

Let buLble again and it is finished. Pour over cabbage while hot. Cotton Journal. m 9 9 Look Ahead. There are a few farmers who are now planning for small grain this fall. They have lots that have been run too ' long in cotton. The soil is devoid of humus. It is a dead sort of soil. With the addition of $.3 worth of guano it will make 400 to 1500 pounds of seed cotton. The wise farmer will sow such lots down and follow with peas. Let I all the poor land be sown down. It is the only way to bring it up. Clay or I sandy lands may be improved in this way. If there is a field in corn or cot ton that is wanted for one of those crops next year sow it in rye in August or September. By the middle of March there ought to be a good sod. Turn it all under with a two-horse plow. Use the cutaway harrow over it and throw up a shallow bed, not disturbing the rye sod underneath. The moisture will be retained and the young roots will strike down and run out into the vege table mould beneath. Carolina Spar tan. 9 9 9 Institutes for Farmers. It has beer, decided by the committee in charge to hold ten farmers'institutes in South Carolina this summer.

There will be no special Clemson Col lege train this year and therefore the institutes will simply be farmers' meet ings.- Farmers' Union Sun. 9 9 9 Farm Demonstration Work. The United Stales department of ag riculture will soon commence a new line of farm demonstration work in louth Carolina. The plan tiie department will carry out, as stated to this correspondent by Dr. Spillman, will be to have one ex periment station in each congressional I district of Smith Carolina, so located that they may be reached conveniently from the capitol of the State.
