('barbon Todd is expected to ar rive in Laurens from ( hina for a few months' visit to bis mother, Mrs. W A. Clarke, and otnor relatives and friends who will extend a happy wel come. Mr. Todd arrived at Seattle on the sixth of this month. From that point he sent a letter to his mother stating that he would spend some time lecturing in the States of California, Colorado and Arkansas on his way across the continent and expected to reach Laurens early in August. Mr. Todd, accompanied by Mrs. Todd, went to China almost live years ago as mis sionaries. They located in Maceo, where they have met with abundant success in their work. Mrs. Todd is not returning at this time with her hus band, tho nature, of the work in Chyja which they have under supervision be ing such t hat both could not leave. Mr. Todd, it is expected, will spend only a few months la-re, returning to his for eign post early in the fall. ************************** THOMAS CARTER, SR. t t t r VV. D. S. ? **>?? ** **** ******** **** ***** The first cotton planter that I ever saw was a barrel planter with a center felly spaced with holes to let out the seed in spots. It was the invention of Mr. Carter. He went as far as Eu faula, Ala., with a load of them trying to introduce them to the big cotton planters. Cotton seed was too cheap there and there were too many negro women and boys to put them in by hand for farmers to buy planters, so the in vention was a financial failure. He was a first rate cutter of clothing and did much work on this line. During tbe Confederate war they made cloth hats and stitched them on the sewing machine. It was said that Mrs. Carter made enough out of the manufacture of hats to buy her a negro woman. On one occasion 1 went up to his house to see him on business and found him down on the branch at his distillery. The Confederate congress had forbidded the making of whiskey out of corn. Mr. (/arter had collected up all the per simmons and elder berries and had his beer tubs full of them fermenting. "Let me show you what a nice lot of berry mash I have in my hogsheads." 1 looked at it, rolled up my sleeve and pushed my arm way down in the tub and pulled out a handful of the mix ture. It was as white as corn meal. What is this, Mr. Carter, that looks so white? He knowingly replied, "You seethe more corn meal the better." It reminded me of the French cook making good soup out of the white (lint rock as he had plenty of ingredients to go with it. So with the whiskey if you had plenty of corn meal to put on the persimmons. He made one of the completest little stills you ever saw out of a live gallon lard can and a long tin bugle. It would make one quart of whiskey at a run. He was a man of in domitable energy, always busy in his plantation work shop or at his public gin. Was also far above the common average in intelligence. After the war Mr. Carter went to Augusta with cotton, caught smallpox and returned home with it. He had such a violent attack that it killed him. Help for Those Who Have Stomach Trouble. After doctoring for about twelve years for a bad stomach trouble, and spending nearly five hundred dollars for medicine and doctors' fees, I purchased my wife one box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which did her so much good that she continued to use them and they have done her more good than all of the medicine I bought before.

In a letter to The State Zach Mclihee, the Washington correspondent, makes reference to two Laurens county boys in the United States navy, Messrs Samuel McOowan and Haskell Dial. The paragraph is as follows: "The highest ranking officer in the pay corps from South Carolina is Pay Inspector Samuel McOowan. He has the rank of commander and is one of the two commanders in the navy from South Carolina, there being but one man with a higher rank, Dr. Boyd, who is a captain. MetJowan is now the pay master of the fleet in the Pacific, a po sition of great importance and respon sibility. There are three assistant pay masters with the rank of ensign. Em mett Howard Tebeau, who is now ashore settling accounts; John Francis O'Mara, on the Iowa, and Haskell Dial, on the fisheries steamer Albatross." Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy Would Have Saved Him $100.00. "In 1902 1 had a very severe attack of diarrhoea," says K. N. Farrar, of Cat Island, La. "For several weeks I was unable to do anything. On March IS, 11107, I had a similar attack ami took Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy which gave me prompt relief. I consider it one of the best medicines of its kind in the world and had I used it in 1902 believe it would have saved me a hundred doctor's bill." Sold by Laurens Drug Co.

Thos. C. Jacks may read his last personal letter." The letter was written to a 10-year-old girl at Enoree who had been led to Christ while Mr. Jacks was pastor of the Enorce Baptist church, and "Clara" is another young girl, friend of Miss Nora and member of the same church. The letter follows, dated at Mount ville, Nov. 2!1, 1905: "Dear Nora: Received your nice little letter a short time ago; was glad to hear from you. I quite often think of you and (Mara, and I pray the Lord that you both may always be true Christian .. Am so glad that you and Clara go to Sunday school and church. I have been real sick since I saw you ? was in be.I about live days, but am up now, feeling pretty well. Pray for me that I may continue to improve. I have a lot of confidence in a child's prayers.
