nORPHINE
Opium, Whiskey and
All Drug Habits
Cured Without Pain at
Your Home.

If you r addicted to these habits
you think you will quit it. You won't:
you can't unaided; but you can be cured
and restored to your former health and
vigor without pain or the loss of an
hour from your business at q moderate
cost. The medicine builds up your
health, restores your nervous system
to Its normal condition; you feel like q
different person from the beginning of
treatment, LEAVING OFF THE
OPIATES AFTER THE FIRST DOSE.
You will soon be convinced and fully
satisfied In your own MIND that YOU
will be cured. 80

TIME TO FIGHT THE
GREAT WHISKEY V L
Correspondent Tells Of Campaign
Which Liquor Interest is Carrying
On-What Is to be Done!

EDITOR, THE ADVERTISER, SIR
Some time ago the Courier Journal
gave an account OF the big liquor deal
ers meeting held in Louisville, KY.
The association will be a national one.
The organization will be powerful and
will have plenty of financial aid. Fol-
instance we have received letters from
distilling concerns Offering us 800,
5000, $40O and $500 for q period of five
years. The money will be used in en-
ploying speakers to conduct the cam.
paign and in distributing printed mat
ter. 1 see from their own statement
that they had 2,575,000 copies of anti
literature printed. OF these 1855, 800
were sent directly to voters and s2G,0O O
to places where elections were held.
This association operates in % States
and claims over 60 per cent. OF the vot-
ers. Now with these figures before us,
are we as men of this great country of
ours to stand still aud fold u arms
and let this vampire of death and de-
| %struction continue in our land and suck
out the life blood of young men and to
some extent of our women? Who is the
are disqualified for business by this aw-
full curse to SAY nothing Of ruined homes
death and insanity that it is bringing
upon u people, Ought it not to be
enough to arouse every good man and
woman 10 a sense of their duties and
obligations to God and suffering HUI
manity and put down this monstrous
evil which Is carrying in its course de-
structiOn? Whocan picture this awful
cures in all of Its f~ullness when we think
OF thousands Of INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clans who will espouse the liquor
cause that they may get Office and the
tons of literature that this business is
sending over the country and then the
support that 1T has from Church mem
bers? The statement is made. that if
the Church members would withhold
their patronage and Influence from the
bar rooms and dispensaries that they
would not live six months. Now this
whiskey business is an evil as j think
no sane man will deny. Then the ques-
tion arises should the State of South
Carolina engage in g. business that
brings sin and disgrace upon it's great
commonwealth. 1t is the business of any
State of the Union to protect its people
from any evil and suppress it in all of
It's FORMS. 1t seems to me as this is an.
year that it will be a good
time for the good people of thu whole
country to rise up in their manhood
and womanhood and forever put to an
end this work of the Devil, which is
bringing shame and disgrace to the
bright boys who are the pride of many
a fond mothers heart.

Dear Sir: AS your business is to get
people into and out of trouble, suppose
you consider their paint; it makes 'em
almost as much trouble as money, ex-
cept of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good deal;
they don't mean to; they don't know
any better; they buy without thinking.
Looking isn't all. The business of
paint Is to keep a house dry inside, the
wood and iron of it; keep it from rot
ting and rusting. Takes good paint 10
do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go by
the price at all; as with lawyers, the
price has nothing 10 do with goodness
or badness; and costs are worse vet
the painter and sheriff come-in for
their share.
But the probability is that q man,
who paints Devoe, will come-out on
top.
Yours truly,

% WITH FAVOR
ON THE MORGAN BILL.
Farmer Approves a Measure Now Pend
ing In the Legislature-The Lien
Law Should be Repealed.
EDITOR THE ADVERTISER, SIR

EDITOR IHE ADVERTISER, SlR'-
Knowing thatyou take o great inter-
est in many things affecting the farmer
j want to ask you to explain more fully
than the News and Courier and Green
willie News, Mr.. Morgan's bill to amend
Section 357 OF Criminal Code in regard
to violation of contract. IL l I understand
Mr.. Morgan's amendment it is one of
the best acts OF the Legislature for the
farmer. II / remember Alright Judge
Watts tried to get the Legislature to
pass this identical bill years ago when
he was a member of that body.
II | am correct, l am glad 1t origi-
mated with a Laurens man, though l
would not attempt to rob the Green
Vile member of the honor OF getting it
passed. After a farmer has fed q hand
through the winter months when a
great portion of time he is employed
in getting himself firewood, then, for
some trivial offence, the hand leaves,
and IL arrested, the fine is paid by
some man who will gladly pay the $25,
which Is bad for the farmer and not
best for the hand. II he knows he can
h~ers9uiGSoaH, IN r" Gdft'5'ff,l allow h ii gu u
thank you for aQi'atTng and ask that
you keep on hammering at that incu-
bus, the Lien Law, one of the greatest
curses In spite OF law that was ever
placed on the statute book of this or
any other State. 1t has made the most
otour merchants suspicious of the farm
ers and made some of them very Shy
iocksthat want end demand their pound
OF flesh. 1t has made more rascals, more
debt stunning scamps, distressed and
robbed more men of that God given
honesty of heart and integrity of char
acter than all the blind tigers and dis
pensaries combined. Away with it!
Wipe 1t off the statutes of South Caro-.
lima anu let us farmers get back to that
high plane of manhood that is our her
itage by right and when a farmers
word will be as good as his bond. 1
hope that you will WELD your pen DUR
ing the coming campaign in such q way
as to make all who favor the law afraid
to show their heads.
Respectfully,
FARMER.

Own Your Farm.

The rent-paying farmer finds it hard to
get ahead, for the landlord and his factor
want so much of the profit. The rent
must be great enough to pay interest and
taxes and give the landlord profit. If
this profit were turned into the farmers
pocket he could soon own his place.
Many farmer has done so we'll on his
crop the past year that he will have few
dollars extra. No better investment
could be made than to buy the farm that
YOU are on, or another that suits you,
make small payment and give note
and mortgage for the balance. Then what
improvements you make will add to your
wealth, and whenever you get dollar it
can be applied to the debt. Only in this
way, by the farmers owning their farms,
will the South rise, agriculturally, to a
high plane.
