KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
atire; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man.
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Those Laurers Resolutions.

Editor Register: The Laurens Coun-
ty Alliance resolutions which offered
have produced such seething political
caulGron that wish to say few words
in reference to them.
All Reformers are agreed as to the
necessity Of having convention. The
resolutions stated the reasons why we
preferred July, to wit: giving all can
didates an opportunity of putting their
claims before the people. Then when
the township conventions are held the
voters will be able to act intelligently
in selecting their delegates to the con-
veutions. For these reasons We prefer
a rather late convention.
The reason we want Tillman TO call
the convention is because the Farmers
Association is in dormant condition.
There has been no reorganization for
five years. The March convention in
1890 did not, if recollect right, do any
thing but make nominations. We know
that Captain Shell was the last State
president, but with this exception we
don't believe there is one man in flve
hundred who knows the other State,
equity anu W" uSlll " 0llICCIS. IL 10 hS
cessary to have proper rules for hold
ing the convention. Tillman being the
father of the Reform movement, we
believe he is the proper one to call the
convention.
We see it stated by some Of the anti
papers that some Of the Reform leaders
have decided that Tillman must take a
back seat. We don't believe it and
they are counting without their host,
for the rank and file, the privates, do
not intend that he shall occupy any
sucA position. Tillman is the name we
coniure with yet.
We hope this article will not give the
ant; press the jiln-jams for the ghost Of
Irb; is nowhere hidden in it. In con
clu>ioa we will say let the convention
be held when it will, the Reformers Of
Laurens County will put their shoulders
to the wheel aud help roll it to success.

ROBERTSON & GLIDER,
Druggists on the Corner:
DelIehtful Entertainment.


The Young Ladies' Benevolent So
ciety of the Presbyterian church in
town gave delightful entertainment
in the ,Armory last Friday evening,
and it will long linger in memory for
its refreshing novelty and for the pleas
ure afforded those present. For onr
part we bow our acknowledgment for
hvitation extended. The arrange
;nent of the hall was striking and
pleasing to the eye.
Off to a corner booth, for the sale
of toothsone candies, was tastefully
prepared, these candies having been
made by the fair young ladies and were
disposed Of in attractive baskets at
moderate prices.
Another feature was the Doll Show
a beautifully attired Bisque Jointed
Doll, with eyes almost of natural ex-
preston, looking with eager watchful-
ness the finale which was to declare its
ownership. The scheme was to guess
the name of Miss Doll. Fifty odd
names were voted for, but as there was
hut one and not fifty dolls to be named,
Ethel Boozer became the fortunate
possessor, having voted for Kathleen,
this name having been selected before
The voting had begun.
Then again fun and frolic held car
nival around an orange tree (so-called),
whose boughs were suspended, as if
naturally growing, l0S mock oranges;
each of these containing some device
to interest and amuse the jolly pur-
chaser-oranges to the lett Of US,
oranges to the right Of Va, oranges
above us, emptyiug themselves Of CO.
lognes and trinkets and whistles and
what mt. Here was amusement
enough even for crusty bachelor.
These several departments were pre-
sided over with rare grace and elegance
by Misses Tilla BooZer, jamie Martin,
Gertie Piester, Annie Pifer, Laura
Blease and Mamie Wright. Last, but
not least, there were refreshments for
the inner man! The cuisine was ex-
celient. The chocolate wss rich, the
sand wiches just as good as sandwiches
could be. and the coffee, they say"
combined the true aroma and flavor of
the best Java and Mocha.
Mrs. Cozby, Mrs. BooZer, Mrs. Glenn
proved we'll their reputation as good
housekeepers.
All in all, it was pleasant social
gathering of young and old, and We
hope TO chronicle others of like inter-
est and pleasure. Such entertainments
form large part Of our social life and
relieves Us of the tedium and hum
drum Of daily avocations.
