COMFORTING WORDS.
Many a Laurens Household vii Find
Them So.
G. B. Bobo, Secretary.

To have the pains and aches of a bad
back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders
grateful. To tell how this great change
can be brought about will prove com
forting words to hundreds of Laurens
readers.
j.. r. Sample, farmer, near Green
wood, says: 81 have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills and can recommend them as a
good remedy for the back and kidneys.
| vas troubled for a long time with my
kidney secretions, which we're full Of
sediment, very dark and of n strong
odor and caused me annoyance during
the night. My back has caused me
great suffering especially at night,
aching pain existed which caused me to
lay awake all hours of the night, there
by losing rest, greatly to my discom-
fort as we'll as to the arrangement of
my general health. | tried all kinds of
remedies, liniments and plasters, but
nothing gave me any relief, Seeing
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised in our
papers | obtained them. Since using
them according to directions, the secre-
tions from the kidneys cleared up and
the backache has left me. | attribute
this result entirely to Doan's Kidney
Pills.

DON'T BORROW TROUBLE.

1t is a bad habit to borrow anything,
but the worst thing you can possibly
borrow, is trouble. When sick, sore,
heavy, weary and worn-out by the pains
and poisons of dyspepsia, biliousness,
Bright's disease, and similar internal
disorders, don't sit down and brood over
your symptoms, but fly for relief to
Electric Bitters. Here you will find
sure and permanent forgetfulness of
all your troubles, and your body will
not be burdened by a load of debt dis
ease. AT Laurens Drug Co. and Pal

VETERANS AND SONS

Lieutenant General Stephen D. Lees
Latest Orders on This Sub.
ject.

The following general orders have
been issued from the New Orleans
headquarters, United Confederate Vet
rams:
The United Confederate Veterans are
DESTROYS of establishing closer relations
with the junior organization of Sons of
Confederate Veterans. With this pur-
pose in view the joint committee, u. c..
", makes a few practical suggestions
to carry this union into effect, all au-
thorized by general order 303.
ITO the United Confederate Vete-
rams: All organizations should stimu-
late in every way the formation and
su~stenance of camps of United Sons of
Confederate Veterans, and have them
with you whenever possible.
Estate Divisions: Appoint at once
the joint committee on cooperation, rs
provided in clause l, par. 2, general or
der 1903, and notify State divisions of
United Sons of Confederate Veterans.
AT all reunions extend to the Sons the
privileges of the floor and at the open
ing ceremonies, especially, let them
take part in the speaking therein:
Camps Invite the Sons (of camps)
to all your meetings and social gather
ings, particularly those where histori-
cal matters are presented. Change
your constitutions so that the Sons,
members of United Sons of Confeder-
ate Veterans, may become members of
your camp with such privileges as you
may determine; right to vote; right to
speak or not; right to contribute to
your treasury or not. Under general
order 303 you can give them such
privileges of membership as each camp
may determine But remember the
proviso-that such Son is a member of
some duly organized camp belonging to
the United Sons of Confederate Vete-
rams. Be liberal in dealing with them
and by loving kindness make them feel
that they are the Sons of the veterans
camp"
"To the United Sons of Confederate
Veterans: Under general order 303,
you have the right given you by the
highest authority of the United Con-
federate Veterans, to which all subor-
dinate organizations must, and we feel
sure will, cheerfully and lovingly as
sent:
L. ITO participate in all conventions
at the opening ceremonies and have the
privileges of the floor at all reunions of
veterans.
2. "To become members of any camp
of United Confederate Veterans on such
terms as said camp may describe.

to Make Speech.

Secretary-Tr Campbell,
colored, of the United Mine
Workers district organization
created a stir at the railroad
station in Henderson on Sunday
afternoon, October LIST, and was
given a free ride in the patrol
wagon. The policeman at the
station and others who were
there tried to advise Campbell
to be quiet and avoid arrest but
he seemed bent on breaking in
to Jail and was just drunk
enough to be very noisy and per-
sistent in his efforts to make a
speech in the white waiting
room. He. was advised to Ego
into the colored waiting room
where he belonged" and he
SAID me, 20 INTO the colored
waiting room?" He declined to
take advice and had to be as
sisted by a policeman. But there
was just one place he wanted to
be in the white waiting room :
just one thing he wanted to do =
make a speech. Patience was
finally exhausted and the officer
called the patrol and Campbell
was carried to the station house
where he was released on bond.
The nextmornlng he plead gull
ty to a plain drunk and was fined
three dollars and the costs.

REBATE EVIL
IS, SCOTCHED.
Praise for the President and De-
partment of Justice for Their
Action in the
scHwARzcHILD s suLzsERGER CASE

-
The conviction and fining of
four members of the firm of
Schwarzchild & Sulzberger last
week, for accepting rebates,
forms the chief object of
discussion among the returning
politicians in Washington. Praise
for the President and the De-
partmenHuf Justice Is coming in
from all over the country. 1t APP
pears TO be the general opinion
that the rebate evil is effectively
scotched. A successful prece-
dent has been established in re
bate cases, and hereafter, it is
alleged, the Governments path
will be comparatively easy in OBJ
tanning similar convictions if fu-
ture cases OF this kind arise.
The general belief as to the
result'of the fining of the pack
ers is optimistic. The current
opinion holds that it will have an
Immediate aud lasting effect in
curbmg those large shippers who
demand determinations in their
favor from the railroads. If the
Government is on the alert to
enforce the law and the large
shippers will be fined $25, 600
whenever theya discovered ac-
cepting rebates, the rebate will
soon become as defunct as the
great aux. And rapacious ship
pers will be further impressed by
the fact that there is every rea-
sou to believe that the Govern.
ment will not be satisfied by the
payment of fine for second
offense.
The belief grows that the de-
cision of the United States Dis
trict Court in Chicago will have
a great effect ia modifying the
demands of those who are agitat-
ing for rate regulation. Con
SENTATIVE opinion In Washington
regards the conviction of the
packers as an effective demca-
stration of the contention that
exis ting legislation is competent
to deal with unjust rate discrim-
inatlon and as supporting the
view that there is plenty of law
on the statute books, if the Gog-
eminent will only see to its en-
forcement. Those who opposed
additional railroad legislation be-
fore the Senate Committee GA
Interstate Commerce at its spe-
cial session last spring are point
ing to the fact that they reiter-
ated over and over again that
existing laws, actively enforced,
are adequate and are saying, II
