ANDREWS INNOVATIONS. j I Meeting ol the "Home Makers* Club"--Llnen Shower, etc. Andrews, June 17:?The ladies of i the "Home Makers' club" held their regular meeting last Wednesday and j were entertained by Mesdames John and Ben White, who are charming hostesses. Delicious refreshments were served. Everyone enjoyed the ;? R*?nHinirs ! tu lid unuvov *?vMv....ov were given by Mesdames Payne and Porter. This club of composed of matrons who meet every two weeks. It is entertained by two members of the club at each meetihg. The next meeting will be at the Rosemary Inn by Mesdames Bell and Porter. Our domestic science teacher,Miss Clara Gibson of Union, decided she liked Andrews so well that she , would stay among us. , Be it said much to our joy, the last day of school was June 10. Miss Clara Gibson and Mr John , Grant were happily married in the 1 little white Methodist church on the hill, with a few of their chosen friends to witness the ceremony. Mr Grant is a popular young man of our town and holds a fine position with the Atlantic Coast Lumber 1 oorooration. He is a brother of our J ~ Mayor. |i The young ladies of the town gave Miss Etta Isokriet a linen shower last Friday at Mr May's residence, the long,wide porch being especiallyj suited for the entertainment. The j presents were dainty and useful, I with a word of advice and congrat- j' ulations in each parcel. Dainty re-1 freshments were served. The even- 1 ing will long be remembered as one of pleasure. Invitations have been issued to the marriage of Miss Etta Isokriet to Mr Chillum Blakely, June 19, at the Methodist church. If Madam Rumor is correct (and we think she is) we shall have several more weddings before many moons. Mrs Medlin will,in about a week's time, move into her beautiful new home,which is just being completed. I Mrs S J Jenkins is on a visit to her parents at Pinopolis. The Baptist Sunday-school of Georgetown is to give a picnic here next Tuesday. We have a lovely grove, fitted with seats, swings and tables,an ideal picnic ground, just in the suburbs of town. YAM.

These; were international monopolies. Of the lesser national or secticnal monopolies there were many. Every guild organized in the Middle Ages included some features which we would call monopolistic, while kings bestowed upon individuals the sole right to sell various luxuries or necessities, which right was sold or leased to the merchant or the producer. The story of Joseph in Egypt is one of the prettiest examples of cornering the food supply and exacting a monopoly price therefor of which we have record. We are told in Genesis that the Egyptians gave in exchange for bread their money, their cattle, and finally, their liberty and their land,which they afterward worked as tenants or serfs of their royal master. Aristotle tells us that an Athenian citizen once cornered the iron market in Syracuse. Solomon as a monopolist surpasses any of our modern trust magnates. We know that he levied heavier toll on the caravans passing over his roads than the most grasping transportation manager of the nineteenth century ever dared to do. We are told in the Book of Kings that he brought linen yarn out of Egypt, which his men of business sold at a fixed pi ice. He imported war horses from the same country and sold them at a high price to the princes and warriors of the whole region. He Bent out trading ships which brought back immense quantities of gold, so that "Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches," In ev^ry case the aim was the same: to get the business, to monopnopolize it,and the consuming public paid. Practically every feature of modern monopoly to which objection is made is another version of an old story told long ago. The methods in the past were much the same as those pursued today, except that they were more vigorous. The little finger of the ancient monopolist was thicker than the loins of his degenerate successor. There is no real need of anyone aeing troubled with constipation.

Women should see to it that they have at least one movement of the bo we is ?ach day. and when showing any tendency to constipation should take Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in the small Jose prescribed. A brief use of it will so train the stomach and bowel muscles that 'sli forms of medicine can be dispensed with. These opinions are voiced bv thousands of women, after personal experience, among them Viola Caper. Covington. Ga. and Mrs E E Brewer, Central. S C. Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge bv simply addressing Dr W B Caldwell 405 Washington St. Monticello, 111. Your name and address on a postal card will do. Some Ancient Trust Offenders. Why not compare monopoly with itself? Why not study the trusts of today in the light of the trusts of yesterday? Step by step the problem will grow simpler. One by one those features of trust practice which we have thought so new will be seen to be old, and they will grow less important as we see how our fathers met and dealt with them. A series of interesting parallels will result. We shall find that competition was the uncommon, and monopoly the usual condition of business in the past. Trusts will be found from Hudson Bay to the Bay of Bengal, from the Baltic to the Gulf of Mexico. One trust ruled India and controlled the destinies of millions of people; another made the Baltic an inland sea, making treaties and dethroning monarchs as need arose.

H A Meyer, Clerk of Board I | "Clean Up the Bowels and : Keep Them Clean" , There are many remedies to be I had for constipation, but the diffiI culty is to procure one that acts I wit1-out violence. A remedv that t, ^ does not perform b y force what should be accomplished by prrsuasion is Dr. Miles' L:x.,tive Tablets. After '.vlnrr them, Mr. N. A. Waddcll, 3 1 s V, ashin.s'tou St., Waco, Tex., "Almost all my life 1 have been ' i.oubk.0 with oonsti-vition. and have t-iod many niaedles. ail of which ( seemed to efni?e pa'n without g.'ving , much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets and found them excellent. Their action Is pleasant and 1 mild, and their chocolate ta.-te makes 1 them easy to take. I am more than I glad to recommend them." ' "Clean up the boweh and keep them clean," is the aJvicc of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual constipation. Do not delay too long, but begin pro-n-r curative measures. Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area new remedy for this old complaint, and a great improvement over the cathartics you Lave been using in the past. They taste like candy and work like a charm. A trial will rnnvincf von Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 25 cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory after trial, return the box to your druggist and he will return your money.
