SIMPLE REMEDY FOR cATARRH.
Just Breathe Hyomei Four Times Day
and be Cured.

LII few years ago some one had said
you Ger cure cata.rrhh by breathing air
charged with healing balsam, the
idea would have been ridiculed and it
remained for that eminent investiga-
tor, II. T. Booth, to discover in Hyomei
this method of cure.
Hyomci has performed almost mi
raculous cures Of catarrh, and is today
recognized by leading members of the
medical profession as the only adver-
tised remedy that can be relied upon to
do just what it claims. The complete
outfit of ,Hyomei costs but $500 and
consists OF an inhaler, q medicine drop
per and q bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for few minutes four times a day and
IL will cure the worst case OF catarrh.
It soothes and heals the mucous mem
branes of the air passages, prevents ir-
ritation, and effects complete and
lasting euro.
In Laurens there are scores OF we'll
known people who say tihey have been
cured of catarrh by Hyoniei. If it docs
not cure you, The Laureps Drug Co.
will return the money You paid for Hy-
omei. This Is the strongcst evidence
that cal. peiolfered as to their faith in

SEPARATE SCHOOLS
YANKEES MUSE HAVE.
Hideb0und AboIitiOni>ts of New Eng
land Decline TO Send Their Children
to School With Negroes.

The following editorial is taken from
| the New York Sun, Republican pa
per which is however the most useful
friend that the South has in New
| York:
Since the fall term of the public
schools opened in the town of Sheffield,
Berkshire county, Mass, there has
| been much friction between the me-
groes and the whites in the Ashley
Falls district. The whites object to
| sending their children to the same
school at which negro children are
taught. The school for the Ashley
Falls district enrolled about forty pu.
pills, of whom third were negroes. 1t
is declared that some of the negro pu-
pills were backward in their studies,
and that on their account the whole
school has been delayed in their pro-
gress.
The dissatisfaction of the white pu-
pills and their parents rendered neces-
sary some action by the town school
committee. The committee decided
that the best thing to do was to estab-
llsh separate school for the negro
children. This was done, and young
negro woman, educated in the schools
OF the town and graduate of its high
school, was engaged to teach the chill
dren of their own color. This arrange
ment seems to have satisfied whites
and blacks alike, although it involves
the entire separation of white and col
ored pupils, at least until the high
school is reached.
Sheffield is as good an example of
prosperous New Eoglsnd village as can
be found. The town is an old one and
bore sn honor. be pert in the Revolt
tion ard also in the civil war.
The number of parsons in Berkshire
county OF negro paren'age in 1900 was
1926, out of total population Of 95 ,667.
The negro population of Sheffield itself
is relatively small The authorities
who have decided that the best inter
ests of the two races require sep rate
schools are not of the kind easily
moved by merely sentimental reasons.
They had to consider the expense in
CURED in opening another school, and
the whole subject must have received
their c'osest at'enti n
The incident is interesting as show
ing that the desire to separate the me-
groes from the whites as far as NAV be
possible is not confiLed to any particu-
lar section OF the United States and
does not necessarily arise from inher-
tied prejudices.
