CALL TO RURAL CARRIERS.
Importance of Organization. Campaign
for Good Roads lo Ik? Waged.
To the Rural Carriers of south Caro
lina:
The greatest power la the world to
day is organized power. Bingleband
ed Individuals can <io little or nothlng
Ing; but when united they can accom
plish wonders. Bverj carrier appre
ciates tills fact to the fullest; there
fore I shall not dwell upon it. only to
tho extent of reminding yon that. In
unity there Is strength.
Lot, us arouse ourselves and organ
ise, Our state organization can be use
ful in many ways. I, Hy wot king to
gether, with the prestige of the state
association behind each of us. we will
dually succeed In creating a sentiment
for better roads--ami who should !??
more Interested in good roads than the
rural carrier? This thing cannot be
done in a day; we must keep everlast
ingly at it as the days and months go
by and the Victory will surely be won.
L'nd. The salary question is an
other Incentive for organization. By
cooperating with the other state as
Koclations throughout the United
States we shall be the better able to
o/mituunlcate our wants and med to
the post office department and thus
indirectly to congress.
3rd. There is a social and frater
nal feature of inestimable value In get
ting together 111 county and State
meetings. True, all of us cannot be
delegates to tho State conventions,
hut if we organize we can semi good
men to the State convention who may
be able to bring the next convention
to our very doors?first in one part
of the State and then in another.
There are n great many other rea
sons for organizing which 1 shall not
mention for lack of space.
If this call should meet the eye of
a carrier in an unorganized county,
he should loose no time in making of
himself a pioneer In this cause by get
ting busy. Let bim drop a postal card
to every carrier in his county <the
State association will pay for the
cards) and urge them to meet him at
some central locality on Thanksgiving
day. or new year's day (not later than
thisi and organize. If you will secure
a half dozen or more to meet you. I
will come or send some one of the
State officers to help you organize.
In closing, let me impress upon you
the supreme importance of organizing.
They are organizing very rapidly in
the north and west and in our neigh
boring States. Let us not lag behind.
If organization is a good thing for
thorn, it must be good for us also.
Yours fraternally,
W. 0, Peterson.

Off" on Jacks township. lie was born
there, and made the mistake of his life

he has always felt like kicking him

anatomical restrictions he has taken
out his spite on Jacks.- Laurens Ad

Wrong about that Kditor Wallace
does not " throw off on Jacks town

admirer of the solid yeomanry of that
bailiwic k Ami he was not born there

Bow to Cure a Cold.
Be as careful as you can you will
occ asionally take cold, and when you
do, get a medic ine! of known reliabil
ity, one that has an established repu
tation and that is certain to effect a
quick cure. Such a medicine is
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
has gained a world wide reputation
by Its remarkable cures of this most
common ailment, and can always be
depended upon. It acts on nature's
plan, relieves the lungH, aids expec
toration, opens the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system
to a healthy condition. During the
many years In which it has been In
general use we have yet to learn of a
single case of cold or attack of the
grip having resulted in pneumonia
when this remedy was used, which
shows Conclusively that it is a certain
preventive of that dangerous disease.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy con
tains no opium or other narcotic ami
may be given as Confidently to a baby
as to an adult. For sale by Laurens
