ON PENSION MATTERS. *
Editor Laurens Advertiser:
' I write to inform the public what
has been done by the county pension
Loard in conforming to the concor
rent resolution of the state legislature
at he 1914 session, requiring the coun
ty pension board of the various coun
ties of this state to compile and Ple
with the comptroller general a bona
fide list of all Confederate soldiers and
widows now living in their respective
counties, irrespective of whether or
not they are receiving pensions.
On November 17th, a meeting was
held at Laurens court house, at which
time we enrolled one hundred and
ninety-five names, of which sixty-six
are widows of Confederate veterans,
state troops (reserves) thirty-t wo;
widows of state troop, two; veterans
ninty-five.
As we already had a list of those
now drawing pensions filed in the
comptroller general's office number
ing 270 we did not include that in the
above list. This makes a total of four
hundred and sixty-seven now living
in this county. Our list was sent to
Columbia several days ago.
I recently attended a special meet
ing of the delegates appointed from
his congressional district by Gen. 13.
11. Teague, under resolution of the
Confederate Veterans association, of
the state which was held in Columbia
and found a majority of the delega
tion in favor of pension for service,
for all Confederate veterans and wid
ows. This sentiment is stronger in the
state now than ever before.
I am drawing a bill o be presented
to the next legislature, which will
practically be a new act. L.f this be
comes law, I am quite sure it will be
an improvement over the present law
and will give more satisfaction and
justice to all.

County Pension Board.

TO AVOID CATARRI
01R BREAK UP A COLD
i'se 1 -omel a Simple Remedy that In.
stan ly Relieves.
At the first symptom of catarrh such
as sniffles, fits of sneezing, raising of
mucus, itching of the nose, or that
choked-up feeling, surely take imme
diate steps to conquer the disease. Ca
tairrh is not only distressing, unclean
and annoying, but a serjobs allment.
One of the easiest an simplest 'rei
(dies to check catar and break up
a cold is 11y mel. J. i put a few drops
of this ant septi and healing liquid
into the sm 1 u I9 taler that comes wihh
every coinp et .outfit, and breathe it.
This medicat air Immediately soothes
tihe inflamed tissues and effectively
drives out the poison. Just a few
minutes use of this most helpful rem
edy opens the stuffed air passages,
clears the head and throat of the un
clean discharges-you breathe freely
and immediately feel better.
Ilyomel is se certain to relieve and
give lasting benefit that Laurens
Drug Co. sells it, on the "No-eure-no

EA RDLY 400 PRISONERS LEFT.
Executive Clemency Reduces N umber
of Prisoners to 886.
Columbia, Nov. 27.-Thiree hundred

Of this number of convicts, 156 were

two are working at Clemson College.
Only six of the 101 prisoners and
former prisoners of the state and the
counties receiving clemency from Gov
ernor Blease as Thanksgiving Day
presents were confined at the state,
penitentiary. One was on the state
farm and one was at the reformatory.
Of the total number receiving pardons
or paroles, only eight were in the ens

it was explained that a few of this
number were working on county
gangs and the remainder' had pre

had completed their sentences. Those

Sick HIeadach~e.
Sick headache is nearly always
caused by disorders of the stomach.
Correct them and the periodic attacks
of sick headache will disappear. -Mrs.
Johyn Bishop of Rlosevillo, Ohio, writes:
"About a year ago I was troubled witht
indigestion and had sk headache that
lasted for two or th eo days at a time.
I doctored and trioe number of rem
edles but nothing4lped me until dur
ing one of those sick spells a friend
adlvlsed me to take Chamberlain's Tab
lets. This medicine relieved me in a
short time." For sale by all dealers.

Like New Store Fronts.
Making over store fronts is an in.
dustry which has found so many pa
trons in New York that a number of
firms have found it profitable to set
aside all other forms of building and
devote themselves wholly to helping
New York merchants improve the ap.
pearance of their establishments by
putting a new face on the matter. All
classes of merchants, from the small
dealer in the suburb to the great dry
goods firms, indulge in the luxury of
a now kind of front to their business
homes every once in so often.
Queer Rowing Costumes.
English rowing men a century ago
wore costumes far different from what
they wear now. In 1805 it was the
correct thing for then to wear a
green leather catskin cap with a Jack
et and trousers of nankeen. In the
first university race at Henley in 1829
Oxford won wearing blue checks,
while Cambridge was in white with
pink waistcoats. Broad brimmed
heavy straw hats came in a little
later.
Strong Party Sentiment.
"What are the duties of the office
to which you desire appointment?"
asked the official. "I haven't inquired
into the duties," replied the applicant.
"But," he added rather reproachfully,
"it was hold by a Republican for
years. And you oughtn't to have any
doubt that what one of those Re
publicans can get by with a first class
Democrat will be able to do with
ease."-Washington Star.
Proper Sense of Humor.
The sense of humor is like individ
uality; it is likely to be disagreeable
to others if made too prominent. It
in a dangerous gift, so dangerous that
the person who lacks it may perhaps
be congratulated. They do not know
what they miss, but they are likely
to be the solid, sensible citizens, the
men of means, and the directors of
public affairs.
Give the Credit Now.
We ought daily or weekly to dedi
cate a little time to the reckoning up
of the virtues of our belonging-wife,
children, friends-contemplating them
then in a beautiful collection. And
we should do so now, that we may not
pardon and love in vain'and too late,
after the beloved -ne has been taken
away from us to i. better world.-Jean
Paul Richter.
Easiest Way.
An eminent German professor had
the misfortgmq .to. die while h was
away on his holidays. When the time
came to put up a tablet to his mem
ory in the little university town where
his life's work had lain, this was tlfe
line which the mortuary artist carved
upon it: "le died during his ab
ssnce."-New York Evening Post.
Luminous Fire Boxes.
To enable New Yorkers to find fire
alarm boxes at night, the superintend
ent of the fire alarm department is
painting them with luminous paint.
It is of white zinc, and in some parts
of the city, where there is a little
light, one of these boxes can be dis
tinguished for a long distance.
Deaf, Dumb, and Blind at Wedding.
A wedding took place the other day
at St. George's church, Gravesend,
England, when Mr-. Herbert Thorndike
wvas married to Miss Stiles. Both
bride and bridegroom are deaf and
dumb, and Canon Gedge, who is total
ly blind, performed the ceremony.
Why the Name "FlaO."
The name "flag" isi given to the

Tragedy.
A woman's life is bound to be a
tragedy, for she can only really love
a man she respects and can never
wholly respect a man who loves her,

UnkInd Insinuation.
