N OVERLOOK THIS.
A Careful PerusaI Will
Prove its Value to Every
LaurenS Reader.

The average man is a dOubter, and
there is little wonder that this is so.
MisreDre :entations make people skep-
tics. Nowadays the public ask for
better evidence than the testimony
of strangers. Here is proof which
should convince every Laurens reader.

Hub, residing at 1G2 Public Square,
says. 81 can recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills very highly. | used them for
backache and trouble with the kid
neys. My back ached for a couple OF
years and being constantly on my feet
was very hard on my back causing a
continuous dull aching pain across my
oins. At night | could not rest my
back, no matter what positisn | as
sumed. The secretions from the kid
neys were unnatural and Irregular and
this with the backache was playing me
out fast. [ tried all kinds of medicine,
took doctors prescriptions and wore
plasters, but it was time, labor and
money wasted. Reading an advertise
ment about Doan's Kidney Pills | went
to the Palmetto Drug Co.'s store and
got Il box. They went right to the
spot and banished the backache and
restored the kidneys to their normal
condition. My rest at night is now un-

DIALS, August, 2S.-The weather

few days which makes 1t very uncom-
Portable for the "big" meeting which
has been in progress for the last few
weeks. Nevertheless, the young men
seem to enjoy themselves very much
in carrying their best girls out to
church. But then, dear readers, what
is more enconra ging to an old "bache-
Tor" than to see u large congregation
ofnice young people? Some preach
ers seem to think it is not nice for
boys and girls to sit together during
services, but [ am sure if the ministers
would encourage instead Of rebuking
them for sitting together in church
there would be fewer young men
sanding outside, smoking their cigar
cites and talking during preaching.
There is nothing that will so cultivate
and elevate q boy to nobler deeds and
thoughts in this life than to associate
with the pure and noble girls of this
day and generation. a young man
that cares nothing for the society OF
young ladies nine times out Of ten
has no respect for himself and any
one else.

COLORADO IDEA.

In set of resolutions adopted by
the executive committee of the Wes-
tern Federation of Miners President
Roosevelt is severely taken to task
for ordering federal troops to quell
the disturbances at Morenci, Arizona.
The resolutions charged that as a
member of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen the incumbent of the
White house by his action is guilty of
treason to the principles of organized
labor when he orders the armed power
of the nation to the rescue of the
soulless corporations to degrade and
debase the class who produce the
wealth of the world, The resolutions
further appeal to the toilers of the
nation to array themselves on the
political battle-ground in 1904 and use
the franchise of citizenship to over
throw at the ballot box a system that
demands for its maintenance and per-
petuation the murderous implements
of barbarism.

ARIZONA IDEA.

MoRENCI, ARIz., June I4.-Interest
of the entire camp centered yesterday
in the trial of the strike leaders, who
were brought before Justice Chapman
for examination. Eighteen men were
examined. District Attorney c. L.
Rawlins conducted the examination
for the territory, and the strikers
pleaded their own case. Their leader,
"Three-Fingered Jack" Cross, exam
ined witnesses for the territory. In
all about twenty men were examined,
and their testimony tended to show
that the coming of the troops last
Tuesday, and the fearless work of the
deputies of Sheriff Parks earlier in
the day, prevented trouble of SER
ious nature. The accused were all
bound over to await the action of the
grand jury, charged with inciting
riot, and it is probable their leaders
will be further charged with threat
ening to commit murder.
