KILLS GERMS OF CATARRH.
HyOmei Goes to the Root of the Dis.
ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
OF pills, liquid medicines and ~so.called
system tonics. Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
in the air passages and increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarrh. killing
the germs in the air passages, it enters
the blood with the oxygen, destroys
the microbes in the b God and effect
ually drives from the system all traces
of catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of
Hyomei to cure catarrb is the fact that
the Laurens Drug Co. will agree to re-
fund the money il you say Hyomei has
not cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $l.00 and consists of an inhalar
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine drOpper and a bottle OF Hy-
omei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and
II one bottle does not cure an extra
bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for
80 cents,

nicely suited for entertaining was on

The broad hall was most artlsticslly
decorated, the lortiercs ard winding
stairway railing were dr.ped with clus-
tors of suu-lloSers, tied with long
streamers Of 'ulle, wb''e graceful
palms, d ;ooping ferns and ttathery

grand old real mahogany furniture
and fine old po traits, the sam5 color

A Matter Of Taste.

Notwithstanding that Senator Tillman
used his best efforts to persuade the
South Carolina delegation at S t.Louis to
abandon Parker and vote for Gray, he
seconded Judge Parker's nomination in
u speech. 1t was a strange proceeding
and will hardly be pronounced as an
act of good taste. Ordinarily the Sec
ondin9 on the part Of South Carolina
would have been left to Governor Hey
ward or Mr.. Rhett who we're Parker
men from start to finish. 1t would have
been a pity, however, had our senator
missed any opportunity for s~elf-adver-
tisement. 1T pays to advertise.

4 Campaign Sign.

1t Is pleasant to observe that the
Republican papers are alarmed at the
nomination of Judge Parker. AS long
as Mr.. Bryan was the nominee it was
possible for them to proclaim that the
triumph of Democracy would mean
general decentralization of business and
actual damage to the republic. Wheth-
er or notthis was true, 1t fell upon will
ing ears. Those who voted against
Bryan believed that they were helping
to save the country from a real peril.
The feeling is wholly different
now. No one imagines, not even the
most partisan Of Republicans, that the
election Of Parker and Davis would
any serious disturbance. The
interests specially favored by the Re.
publican tariff are naturally bent upon
Republican success but they are barre
from claiming that the public credit or
any Of Our national institutions, such
as the judiciary. are threatened. In
other words, when the Republican par
ty was fighting Bryan it was able to
pose as the defender of the Republic
against innovation and experiment.
Fighting Parker, the burden OF proof
is shifted The Ieasopableness OF
Roosevelt rule Is now to be established
whereas in 1900 TO prove the unrea-
sonableness OF Organism was It's com.
partively easy task.
The candidacy of Parker and Davis is
the appeal OF the masses for plain, sane,
simple and honest government. To de-
fend the noisy, restless and m~enacing

What Is the Object2

II the object of militia encampments
Is to have men drilled, to have them
learn something of the soldiers life
and to make the money available for
this object go os far as possible, the
wisdom of having all the regiments to
go into encampment at a central point
near Columbia is amply demonstrated
III the object is to give the men q frolic,
it would be wise to permit each regi-
year. If a regiment were to camp at
Laurens for a week next year, its off,
GERS and men would have a glorious
time, for Laurens would coddle and
caress them to their hearts desire.

The Home Market,

In many parts Of South Carolina the
development in truck farming has
been remarkable in the last few years.
In Horny county the shipments of
strawberries, beans, okra and other
vegetables has expanded from practi-
cally nothing to many hundreds of
thousands and even millions of dollars
In Beaufort and Colleton counties
farmers are making money rapidly
from their Irish potato crop. Far in
the interior, in Aiken and Edgefeld
counties, the asparagus crop has come
to be an item OF considerable CONNER
cial Importance. These are q few ex.
amples of new industries which have
recently had beginnings in this State.
THE ADVERTISER has pointed out
before that there are numerous opp6r-
tunities open to Lsurens farmers.
In Union q creamery has been estab-
lished and it Is stated that the demand
for its cheeses cannot be supplied; that
a market is found for it's output in sur
rounding towns. In growing garden
trucks the Southern coast counties
have Of course a large advantage over
the Piedmont, but we doubt If the
vegetable home market is fully appre-
ciated byLaurens farmers. Chickens and
eggs have increased about fifty per
cent in value in Laurens within the
last five years. All kinds of meats have
gone up' and the chances to sell
things are incomparably better now
than they were a few years ago.
1t appears to THE ADVERTISER that
If it were possible to raise q hog in
Laurens county without loss when
pork was worth seven or eight cents
the pound, it ought to be possible to
make money in raising hogs now that
pork is worth 12t cents the pound. We
do not advise hog raising as a business
but we believe and do advise that every
Laurens farmer should raise part if
not all OF his WI meat.
Time and again THE ADVERTISER
has urged that there is or should be
good profits in sheep raising. Last week
the writer learned in Asheville, N. O.,
that "lamb chops" bring 20 cents the
pound or the Asheville market. Snch
meat brings a similar price in Aug
usta, Columbia and Charleston. Sheep
may be raised as we'll and as cheaply In
Laurens as in Buncombe county, N. C,
1t is true that the dogs are in the way.
Whenever our people discover that
sheep are more valuable than dogs they
will begin to live on mutton. Mutton
should be the cheapest meat we have.
What we wish to emphasize is that
the people of Laurens can easily pro-
duce al, that they eat, excepting only
a few such articles as coffee, sugar and
salt. Moreover, there are scores of
things which can be produced on the
farm, without interfering with cotton
production, to be sold at a profit in the
town OF Laurens and ia neighboring
towns and cities. In what we are say
ing there Is nothing new. Others as
well as THE ADVERTISER have said it
time and again before butt is our hope
that by incesslantly repeating it, we may
help to induce people to act upon it.

ELECT SCHOOL BOARD
DISTRICT CHAIRMEN WILL HAVE
 MEETING TODAY.
Acting Under New Law Superinten- dent T'hompson of Montgomery Will Begin Revision of L0-
 cal School Methods.

Under the new law redistricting the school districts of the State. a Board of Education for Montgomery county will be elected at 12 o'clock today by a meeting to be held at the court house
 The new Board of Education is to con- sist of four members and the County Superintendent of Education as ex- officio member.
 In July three school trustees were elected for every school district of Alabama under the new law. There are thirty-five districts in Montgom- cry county. The district trustees have selected chairmen and these chairmen are to meet and elect a County Board of Education which will exercise supervision over the county schools
 Today in every county in the State except Mobile, Baldwin and Escambia the chairmen of the district board of trustees will meet and elect county boards. The three counties exempted from the operation of the law, have special acts covering their schools.
 The thirty-five district chairmen of Montgomery county will meet at che court house at noon today with County Superintendent J. A. Thompson. Their principal work will be the election of a County Board of Education.
 The law provides that the Chairmen must not elect members of the dis trict boards.
 As there are something over 100 dis tricts in Jefferson county and the meeting at Birmingham today will be of considerable importance. Chief Clerk H. C. Gunnels of the State Edu- cational Department went to Birming- ham last night to attend the meet ing.

OLD FASHIONED, But stiil in the Fashion.

It is an ever new and interesting story to hear how one can be entirely made over by change of food.
 For two years was troubled wish what my physician said was the old fashioned dyspepsia.
 There was nothing I could eat but 20 or 30 minutes later I would be spit ting my food up in quantities until l would be very faint and weak. This went on from day to day until was terribly wasted away and without any prospects of being helped.
 One day I was advised by an old lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream, leav- ing off all fatty foods. I had no con- fidence that Grape Nuts would do all she said for me as had tried so many things without any help. But 1t was so simple thought I would give 1t a trial she insisted so.
 Well. ate some for breakfast and pretty soon the lady called to see her patient as she called me, and asked if had tried her advice.
 Glad you did. child; do you feel some betterT
 No I said. I do not know as do, the only difference I can see Is have no sour stomach, and, come to think of it, I haven't spit up your four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet
 Nor did I ever have any trouble with Grape-Nuts then or any other time for this food always stays down and my stomach digests 1t perfectly; l soon got strong and well again and bless that old lady every time I see her.
 "once an invalid of 9S pounds, now weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and well, and 1t Is due entirely and only to having found the proper food in Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.

New York. 1arre Canal.

Chicago Record.
 The new thousand ton barge canal which New York State Is to build at an estimated cost of $101, .0OO, 60 take the place of the old Erie Canal, will differ almost as widely from the old canal in its character as a present day railway locomotive differs from Stephensons Rocket. An idea that it will be merely d wider and deeper Erie Canal is totally wrong. It will, to start with, be adapted to steam in- stead of mule power, and hence will have no need of a towpath; but be- yond this 1t will utilize for the greater
