MR.. IRBY's CONTRIBUTION.

Among h newspapers of the first
rank for editorial wisdom in this coun-
try is the Springfield, Mass, Republi-
can. 1t commands the attention of
the educated American public every
where. 1t is independent in politics.
In a recent deliverance about the
troubles of the South Carolina Dispen-
sary system it declared that the sys-
TENS weakness lies in it's helplessness
against the wiles of the whiskey sellers
who live beyond the State. These
corrupt its officers and defraud the
State at pleasure. The Republican
hints that the Dispensary will not sue
coed until the State manufactures the
whiskey that it sells and in this way
frees itself from the whiskey dealers
of other states.
Before the Republican expressed
these views the Hon. VIM. C. Irby, Jr.,
of Laurens had advocated the States
manufacturing its own Intoxicating IL
quors to be sold in the Dispensaries.
We believe that both the Republican
and MIR. Irby are hopelessly wrong in
fancying that a Democratic State hav-
ing a Republican form government can
safely engage in the mercantile or
manufacturing business but we have
written this to point out that Mr.. Irby
has at least n very respectable fol-
lower.
Among thinking men North and
South the views of the Springfield Re-
publican are counted as more weighty
than those of Martin F. Ansel, Dick
Manning, John l.. McLaurin and Jodie
Mccullough singly and cumulatively.
They are considered more seriously
even than those of Cole l.. Blease and
b. r. Tillman; except of course in lin
tied circles in South Carolina. There
are many who think the Springfield Re.
publican a wiser newspaper than THE
ADvERTIsER-but, happily, they do not
live in Laurens.
If the effort is to be made to save
the D~ispensary, the idea of Mr.. Irby is
probably the soundest that has beer
contributed to the discussion. 1t strikes
much closer to the root of the evi
than Senator Tiliman's reforming plar
has struck and to this we are confident
that any serious and unbiased student
of the Dispensary, such as is the Spring.
field Republican, will agree.

ABOUT BUYING A FARM.

The Greenville News advises, by i'm
plication, young men not to buy farms.
1t seems to fear that a young man who
buys a farm will fall into the hands of
"ioan and lien sharks"
Here is what it says:
"The Laurens Advertiser advises all
young men to buy farms. To help the
loan and lien sharks?"
Thus in the course of time if nc
young lei bought farms, the "loar
and lien sharks" might come to own al
the farms.
Daddy, may | buy me a farm?
Yes, you may my Sonny,
1t won't do you any harm
If you don't part with your money!

Sort O lazy-like an dream.
Wonderin' if ways is rough
For you-or if happy seem?
Wishing | could plant a rose
Bloomin' pretty in your way,
Softenin' the breeze that blows,
Where your wanderin' footsteps stray!
"Jes' to kneel at night alone,
Lookin' up there at the stars,
Like a captive walled in stone,
Peepin' through the prison bars,
Do the angels listen now
When you don't know what to say?
And the thought of you-somehow
Blurs up heaven-anyway!
"Jes' to hear a little song
Softly hummin' in the air,
Laughin', lovin', all day long,
Music goin' everywhere;
Sweet as honey in a hive,
Life is like a dream come true,
Good enough to be alive
Livin' in the world with you'll"

CONVICT GIVES TROUBLE.
Joe Harris Escaped From ~Chaingang on
one of the COunty's Mules.


Joe Harris, a two-year negro con-
vict, escaped from the chain gang
camp, located five miles northeast of
the city last Tuesday. The negro re
ported sick and was left in the camp
alone, but shackled and chained, and,
as the guard thought, safe to await his
return. Harris managed to get himself
loose and, mounting one of the county's
best mules undertook to escape. He
was captured Wednesday afternoon
seven miles south of Laurens by Messrs.
Morris and Milan of Lisbon. When
caught he had abandoned the mule and
cotton rid of his shackles. He had also
obtained some clothes and put them
over his stripes. In the meantime he
had broken into a Negroes house and
stolen a quantity of meat, canned fruit,
etc.
When captured he had travelled
twelve or fourteen miles and was evil
IDENTIFY making his way back to Green
wood or Edgefield county, whence he
came a little over a year ago, a fugitive
from justice, and even in his flight he
had taken time to steal a COW in Lau-
rens County. 1t was for this offence
that he was doing time when he es-
capped Tuesday.
This is the second time that Harris
nearly made good his escape while on
the Laurens gang" The first was
about a month after his conviction, and
while being pursued he robbed a negro
hunter of his gun and killed two blood
hounds that had been used to run him
down.

minutes in which to reply, but did not
consume so much time. Among other
things he said, in reply, was that Till

minded him of that ancient bully, Go"
Hath, of Gath, and quoted First Sam

Christ, when he attempted to tempt
Him after His fast.

PROFIT IN SHEEP.

We met a friend of ours the other
day who told of his experience in
raising sheep, says a writer in Sue
cessful Farming. Late in the fall he
purchased a flock CT t~wenty-taree
higil-bred ewes and a pure bred ram
for 500. To meet this investment he
gave his note to a local bank for
the amount, the same bearing interest
at z per cent, payable in one year.
In the spring following the purchase
he raised twenty-six lambs from his
flock of ewes. In the early fall he
sold from his flock fifteen ole ewes
and ten lambs for $115.75, leaving
twenty-four head of ewes and young
sheep. Our friend was thus enabled
to meet the note of $107 and had a
flock left worth at least 1920. Be-
sides this he had gained much valu-
able information in regard to the
feeding and care of sheep.
When the sheep were purchased
they were turned into a corn field
where they fed on rye which had
been sown after the corn crop had
been cut up for the silo. Good feed
and second growth clover were all
that was supplied to the sheep until
snow came. During the winter plenty
Of exercise was afforded the ewes
and a variety of feed given, consist

timothy and clover hay, ensilage and

WORKING BROOD MARES.

Some of the leading horse breeders
never put their brood mares in har-
ness. They provide exercise in other
ways in order to keep the stock In
vigorous health. AS a rule, these
breeders have extensive grass pas
lures, into which the mares are turf
ed for several hours each day through
out the winter season. Horse breed
ers who neither work their mares nor
turn them out daily invariably get a
small proportion of increase. Some
foals are lost i~mmaturely and others
are born so weak that they die soon
afterwards.
Most horse breeders, especially
those of long experience, prefer tnat
mares in foal should have regular ex-
ercise in the form of light work, but
jerk and straining should be avoided
under all circumstances. For best re-
suits it &c a good plan to use three
horses for work that would be re-
quired of two under ordinary circum-
stances. This is not done at an ad
ditional expense of one-third, because
three horses will do more work than
two, if the speed alone is considered.
Then it often happens that ploughs
and cu~ltivators may be set an inch or
two deeper, and the extra work thus
accomplished is worth a great deal,
although it may not show on the sur
face. A mar can drive three horses
faster than two and rest less at the
end Of the row.

The clothing of a sailor Is practically
his complete outfit for work, and with
out this he is unable to join his vessel
properly equipped for duty.
Because Of this fact Congress pass
ed a law providing a penalty for re-
fusing to give up the clothes of a sea-
man whenever he demands them. This
Law was not as effective as it should
have been, and a new law has been
passed recently which provides that a
person who shall keep any seaman's
clothing. when demanded, shall be
deemed guilty Of a misdemeanor, and
shall be imprisoned not more than six
months or fined not more than $500, or
both.
A seaman, not a deserter, In any part
Of the United States has a right to de-

he does not receive them he can call

HOW TO DRESS TURKEYS.


Many nice fat turkeys are rendered
almost worthless by dressing, and yet
those who spend their time during the
spring and summer, looking after
them, wonder why the market mar
pays so little for them. Just a few
things to remember and the results
will be different.
Have the turkeys fat, and do not
feed them for twenty-four hours be-
fore killing.
Then remember that the way 10
dress them must be as required.
If the public wants them dry pick
ed do the work quickly and nicely;
or if for nearby markets, scald them
and be careful not to tear the skin.
Assert the sizes and pack them SO
that each lot may be uniform-the
large ones and the small ones togeth-
er, in separate boxes.
Let them reach the market at the
right time and you will get the best
prices.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation. Bowel and Stom.
ach Trouble.

Q. What is the beginning Of sick
ness?
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry of
the waste matter which lies in the ali
mentary canal where it decays and poi
sons the entire system. Eventually
the results are death under the name or
some other disease. Note the deaths
stomach and bowel trouble at the pres
ent time.
q. What causes. Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call OF
nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Elk
cessive brain work. Mental emotion
and improper diet.
Q. What are the results OF neglected
Constipation?
4. Constipation causes more suffer
ing than any other disease. 1t causes
rheumatism, colds, fevers, stomach, bow
ell, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc.
1t is the one disease that starts all 9TH
ers. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhcea,
loss of sleep and strength are its symp-
toms--piles, appendicitis and fistula, are
caused by Constipation. Its conse-
Quences are known to all physicians,
but few sufferers realize their condition
until it is too late. Women become
confirmed invalids as a result of Consti-
patton.
Q. DO physicians recognize this?
A Yes. The first question your doc
tor asks you is Are you constipated?'
That is the secret.
Q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics,
such as pills, salts, mineral water, cas-
tor oil, injections, etc., every one of
which is injurious. They weaken and
increase the malady. You know this
by your w experience.
Q. What, then, should be lone to cure
it?
A. Get a bottle of Mulrs Grape
Tonic at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will
positively cure Constipation and -Stom-
ach Trouble in the shortest space of
time. No other remedy has before been
known to cure Constipation positively
and permanently.
