LANFORD'S LOCALS.
(Written for last week.)

After long silence we will try to
give you some Of the happenings
around our quiet little village.
We have had rain almost every day
since the 2Sth Of July. Our streams
have been higher than ever be-
fore known, and have left nothing on
bottom lands.
Cotton has too much weed and If the
rains continue there will be q very
short crop, especially the late plant
ing
There is plenty OF grass and our far
mers should be careful to save 1T all.
Mr.. O. l.. Lanford now has his saw
mill In full operation cutting lumber
. repair our buildings.
Mr.. Grow had the misfortune to lose
his house and nearly everything there
in by fire last Sunday morning. Some
of the family barely escape with theird
lives.
Capt. j. w. Lanford has his ginncry
ready 10 prepare the new crop for mar
ket. We hope there is an abundant
crop coming on.
Quite number of our people have
been attending tho camp meeting at
Laurens this week. Among them Capt.
J. w. Lanford, Miss Mossie Lanford,
MIR. and Mrs. NJ. Fleming, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. r. DeShields, j. E. Johnson, G.
w. McCravy and others. They report
some very fine preaching. We need a
meeting OF that kind in our little town.
Mr.. G. l.. Waldrop is going to en-
large his store room by building a gro
cery department to one end.
Mrs. j. M. Fleming and Miss Minnie
Lanford who have been visiting friends
and relatives in Tennessee and North
Carolina have returned home.
Mr.. j. M. Fleming went to Ashvillc
last Sunday, returning on Monday.
Mrs. J. E. Johnson is on q visit to
friends and relatives near Evansville,
In Spartanburg county.
The protracted meeting at the Meth
odist church will begin on the End Sun
day in this month.
Your humble scribe, in company with
a member of the staff, attended the
Laurens County News picnic held in
beautiful grove near Maddens. There
were about 10 in attendance. The cor
respondents of the News are bright,
Intelligent, good looking set of folks,
and seem to be deeply interested in
their work. The good people of Lau-
rens county are noted for their hos
pitality, and it was never bett er
shown at a picnic than on that oc-
caslon, for we certainly had great
amount of good things to eat. The
Parrott's furnished plenty OF lemonade
and ice water. They will meet again
at the same place next year. The day
was greatly enjoyed by all.

A Worthy Gentleman Passed Away n
Few DAYS Ago,

Vannoy Cleveland, q gentleman well
known in this state and whose home
was in Georgia, died in this city few
days ago, at tho home Of John b.
Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland died OF paralysis. He
had a stroke about five years ago. Fri
day he was again struck and did not
rally.
The funeral services will be held to-
morrow and the intcrment made in this
city.
Nannoy Cleveland was sixty years Of
age, and was a son OF Robert Memphis
Cleveland, His mother, Mrs. Fannie
CLEVELAND, whose home is in Marietta,
Ca, was with him when he died. His
half brother, w. G. Cleveland, and his
sister, Mrs. Fl. d. Cleveland, live in
Greenville. Two brothers live in Ten
nessee, and his sister, Mrs. John b.
Cleveland, lives in this city.
Nr. Cleveland, who was known to
his intimate friends as "Cap," was a
great favorite wherever known He
had not an enemy and was never known
to say an unkind word. He had friends
all over this state and in other states.
For long while he was resident Of
Greenville. He served four years in
the war between the states and was a
valiant member of the Hampton Lc-
gion. n.-Spartanburg journal. =
evan" Cleveland was brave among
the bravest and noble, generous
spirit. In 1863 I.ongstreet lay seige
to Suffolk, Va. Van came to Head
quarters as firing was not allowed in
camp and announced that he wanted to
clean his gun. There was sharp firing
in the rifle pits and Van asked leave to
go down on the lines and discharge his
piece. Once one the line he could not
resist engaging in duel with blue
coat in the opposite pits. After a
while Van reported, smiling, shot
through the shoulder, and the blood
trickling towards his shoes. 1t was q
30 days furlough he said.
Peace to his gentle spirit-from an
old comrade. .-EDITOR ADVERTISER.

The Worlds Greatest Fever Medicine.

Johpson's Tonic does in a day what
slow Quininc cannot do in ten days.
Its splendid cures are in striking con-
trast with the feeble cures made by
Quinine.
If you are utterly wretched, take a
thorough course of JOhnson's Tonic
ana drive out every trace Of Malarial
poisoning. The wise insure their lives
and the wiser insure their health by
using Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic.
1t costs 80 cents if it cures; not one
cent If it does not.

10 your consideration is gem
orally the cost, though cost should
always be relative to value to be
fair test. The lumber we sell may
not always be the cheapest in price,
but it's always cheapest in the
long run, because we give the best
value. Thoroughly kiln-dried pro
perly sawed and planed, you'll
find it matches" well, and will
be lifelong source of satisfac-
tion.

Olympia Cotton Mill, Columbia, leads

Clifton Manufacturing Co., Spartan
burg, Sl,o20, 900. Spartanburg County
is far ahead of all others in cotton man
ufacturing.
One of the Summer School orators
recently spoke OF South Carolina as a
Manufacturing State. 1t was weak
blunder. Our Cotton Manufacturing
is an item in the list OF thousands OF
manufactured articles Of our daily con-
sumption.
We should not yell until we are out
OF the woods. The maturing cotton
crop is estimated at a million bales for
this State. All the mills of the South
take one and a half million bales.
When we manufacture our plow stock,
plow share, backband, plow line, blind
5ridle, and plow gear we may begin to
blow a little. Most that we wear is
made of our own cotton, but the indus
try and skill OF other States and peoples
return the stuff to us in shape for con
sumption. They add 500 per cent 20
the value OF the raw material.
