SINGLE COPIES, 5 CENTS.

For we have known the csres of life,
Sweetheart, since we were man and wife;
Yet have not loved each other less,
Through fifty years of happiness.
When clouds have threatened storm and rain,
The skies have alwaS cleared again,
And fifty years have come and passed,
And brought us sunshine at the last.
And now that we are old and gray,
We trust in Him, our guide and stay,
Our constant and unchanging Friend,
To lead us to the journeys end.

JAPAN HAS WON
FIRST VICTORIES.
Two Nations Have Begun
to Fight.
SHIPS DESTROYED.
About Twenty Russian
Vessels Eliminated.
Two Battles Fought in Which the
Small scrappers Have Had the
Best of 1t.
SHIPS DESTROYED.

On the 9th. at Port Arthur the Jap
anese torpedo boats destroyed or dis
abled three Russian men-of-w war. About
the same time the Japs destroyed two
Russian ships at Chemulpo without
losing man.
SO far the Jsps have had the best of
it. 1t is said that they put quietus On
20 Russian ships, great and small.
However, the Japs seem not to have
effected landing yet at Port Arthur.
1t is reported that some small Jap
ships have been destroyed and that
they were defeated in trying to land
men near Port Arthur.
The war news is indefinite. The only
thing certain is that so far the Yellows
have gained the advantage decidedly
on the sea.
The outlook is favorable to the Japs.
They have navy nearly equal to that
of Russia. Their army is about one
fourth as big but they nave third Of
million men splendidly armed and
magnificently trained by American and
European officers.
Admiral Uriu who won the Port Ar
thur fight graduated at the Annapolis
Naval Academy and six other Jap
ship commanders are graduates from
it.
The Japs are on the ground and know
ground. The Russian land forces must
travel from two to four thousand miles.
The Japs have lauded 10000 more at
Chemu'po.

SENATOR HANNA
DIED MONDAY.
SuccuInbed to Attack Of
Typhoid Fever.
MOURNING GENERAL.
Was I'm His SiXty-Seventh
Year.
He Came Into Prominence In the Nc
Kinley Campaign and Was q
Power in Politics.

United States Senator Marcus Alonzo
Hanna died at his hotel in, Washington,
d. c., Of typhoid fever, 6:40 p. M. Mon
day.
Senator Hanna came into prominence
as manager Of Mr.. McKinley's success
full candidacy in 1896, and afterwards
became Senator, first by appointment
and then election.
Senator Hanna began life as poor
boy and amassed great wealth as a
coal and iron merchant.
No man was ever more persistently
abused by the newspapers opposed to
him in politics and deserved it less. He
was selected as the "scape-goat" of the
so-cailed Money Power and ridiculed
cruelty. Before he died the country
had reached a different conclusion, AS
a matter of fact, his record as an hon
est man was uncommonly clean, and
the only grave offence chargeable to
him was that he usually succ eeded In
his undertakings. He was an able, in
dustrious man, endowed with an un-
usual amount OF brains. Therefore he
made money.
Mr.. Hanna probably got along with
the labor in his employ better than
any great capitalist in the country.
Cleveland, Ohio, was his home.

Many husbands are spoiled by mis-
management in cooking and are not go
tender and good, Some good wives
keep their husbands constantly in hot
water; others keep them in stew by
irritating ways. Some roast them;
some keep them in a. pickle all their
lives; others think they need 10 be
blown up occasionally and others let
them freeze by their carelessness and
indifference.
1t cannot be supposed that any hus-
band will be tender and good, managed
in this way. But they can be made
really fiue and delicious when properly
cooked. In selecting husband wo-
man should not be guided by the sill
very appearance, as in buying fish, nor
by the golden tints, as If she wished
salmon. Be sure and select him your
self, as tastes differ. Do not go to the
market for him, as the best are always
brought to the door. 1t is far better
to have none, Mess you will learn pa
tiently how to cook him See that the
linen in which you wrap him is nicely
washed and mended, with the required
number of strings and buttons sewed
on. A preserving kettle Of the finest
porcelain is best; but If you have only
an earthenware kettle, it will do,
with care. Tie him in the kettle with
the sllken cord called love, as the one
called duty is always weak. They are
apt to fly or get burned and crusty on
the edges, since like crabs and lob
sters, you have to cook them while
alive. Make a bright, STEADY fire out
of comfort, cheerfulness and neatness;
set him as near this as seems to agree
with him. If he sputters and fizzes do
not be anxious, ss some husbands do
this until they are done. Add little
sugar in the form of what confectioners
call kisses. But use no vinegar or pep
per on any account. A little spice Inn
proves, but it must be used with judg-
ment.
Do not stick any sharp instrument
into him to see II he is becoming ten
der. You cannot fail to know when he
Is done.
II thus cooked you will find him very
digestib!e, agreeing nicely with you,
and he will keep perfectly, unless you
become careless and set him in too cool
q place.

Major Earle was born and raised in

from the South Carolina Military

MUCH PLEASED
WITH FLORODORA.
Letter from Capt. EnOch
q. Mitchell.
MADE BIG YIELD.
Something About the
Method of Cultivation.
Plant Has Large Weed aud Should
Have Plenty Of RoOm-The
Price 1t Brings.
MADE BIG YIELD.

Below appears an interesting letter
from Mr.. r, g. Mitchell about the Flo
rodora cotton.
With short-staple at 13 cents, q half
of bale of Florodora cotton at rs cents
would be worth $3.50 Mr.. Mitchell
planted on June 5th and had poor
stand. His seed are worth $25.
However, the premium above COM
mon varieties Is from four to six cents.
That is what the originator, Mr..
Stoney, claims for it. This year no
one in this locality had more than a
bale. No one even had u full bale.
Consequently, it was difficult to find a
market. AS soon as fifty or hundred
bales are raised in the county there
will be plenty Of bids for the cotton
and doubtless far better price will be
reelized than was obtained this year.
Mills that spin the high-grade cloths
are being built. One of our own mills
is now using Western long-staple.
The Apalache Mill at Greers will use
long staple. Other such mills will be
built and there are others already
built.
The cotton for these mills will be inn
ported unless it is raised here.
Mr.. Stoney has received letters from
reliable farmers in various sections
saying that the yield WAS double that
of common varieties. Even il the
WELD is no large, the ezra price
makes The Florolora d boon 10 COTTON
planters.
The ADVERTISER has not heard
from DR.. Settler, except Indirectly,
that he was delighted with the results
he obtained. The reports of Mr.. George
Dorroh. Mr.. Crews and others have
already been published.
The best evidence that the Laurens
farmers are pleased is that none OF
them have seed to sell-they are going
to plant all the seed they made.
The ADVERTISER knows nothing
about farming, but the results from the
seed it distributed have far surpassed
Its expectations. Ii the experience of
Laurens farmers is repeated this year,
the introduction of this cotton in Lau-
rens will mean many thousands of dol
lars to the cotton producers. In other
words, four cents the pound is $40 the
bale. Twenty dollars extra on the
bale, with the same amount of labor
and fertilizer, is wonderful
