A Beautiful Life.

Tribute of respect to the memory of
Mrs. w. N. Austin from the Chestnut
Ridge Sunday School.
For her to live is Christ, to die is
gain"
Could any higher eulogy be passed on
any one? These words were spoken of
our dearly beloved sister in Christ, Mrs.
w. N. Austin, by n of the attendant
ministers at her funeral.
Though a faithful member of the
Presbyterian church, she was a Jealous
worker in the Chestnut Ridge Baptist
church of which her husband is a mem
and girls who will ever hold in sacred
memory her words of instruction.
One of the first principles of Christi
anity was beautifully illustrated in her
character, that of self-denial. Her life
indeed was very Christ-like going about
so gently, quietly, speaking words of
kindness, good cheer and encourage
ment. Scattering sunshine, doing deeds
of love and mercy to all seemed to be
her mission on earth. Being specially
fond of children, she naturally drew
them to her. Her face would brighten
whenever a child appeared, and happy
were the children who came under her
wondrous influence. Not only the child
rem, but everyone fortunate enough to
know her, could not but feel the desire
of leading a higher, nobler, better life;
for it was an inspiration to look into
her peaceful face, which glowed with
that divine love, with which her heart
was filled.
Like a pure, beautiful flower, she was
too frail and delicate for the storms of
this life. So God whispered Come"
and she who was an ardent lover of the
beautiful has gone to be with her
Heavenly Father in that beautiful city
above.
Gone, yes, but not forgotten, for she
left the sweet fragrance of a Christian
life that will ever linger in the hearts
of those who loved her.

FOR A CALHOUN STATUE.
Efforts Being Made for This Purpose b,
Kings Mountain Chapter, d. A. r.

To THE EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER:
We, the undersigned, representing the
Kings Mountain Chapter, d. A. r.,
Yorkville, S. c., wish to call your at
t%ention, and that of your readers to a
work which we have ~inaugurated, and
in which we beg your cordial help and
corporation.
1t has long been a source of regret
and modification that South Carolina
has no representative in the National
Statuary Hall of the Capitol at Wash
ington. "This s~tatuary room was the
old Hall of Representatives; it was the
scene of the debates of Webster and
Clay, Adams, Calhoun and others,
whose names are indelibly associated
with the history of Congress. In 1864,
at the suggestion of Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont, the room was set apart as a
National Statuary Hall, to which each
State might send the efigies of two of
her chosen sons, in marble or bronze, to
be placed permanently here.
No South Carolinian ever views those
stately statues, erected by practically
all the States of the Union in memory
of their "chosen sons" without Won
dering why our own place has been so
long empty, and wishing that we, too,
could point with pride to a representa-
tive occupying the space allotted to
South Carolina.
The Kings Mountain Chapter is de-
sirous of starting a movement to rem
edy this long standing neglect. We
have written to every woman's organ
ization in the State, asking them to
join is in petitioning the Legislature to
appropriate at the present session, the
sum of $25, 900 twenty-five thousand
dollars,) for the purpose of erecting a
statue of John c.. Calhoun in the Ma
tional Statuary Hall in the Capitol at
Washington. We regard Calhoun as
South Cardinals most representative
man; he was for forty years the most
conspicuous and influential figure in
national politics; he was Representa-
tive, Senator, Secretary Of War, Sec
rotary of State and Vice President.
We do hope that you will give us
your support and help in this work.
We wish, through your paper, to appeal
to every South Carolinian, mar and
woman, to honor this draft upon your
patriotism, and to beg them to respond
to the effort we are making to have
our beloved State take her rightful
place in the halls of the nation.
We shall be exceedingly obliged if
you will give this letter a place in the
columns of your paper.
Very respectfully yours,
Mrs. Virginia Mason B%ratton,
Miss Maggie A. Gist,
Miss Leslie d. Witherspoon,
Mrs. S. M. McNeel,
Mrs. G.. H. O'Leary,

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
DOan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
:, o,soa,

M Laurens people work every day
in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly Over a desk-riding
on jolting wagons OF cars-doing labori-
GUS housework; lifting, reaching or pull
ing, or trying the back in y hundred and
one other ways. All these strains tend
to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys
until they fall behind in their work of
iltering the poisons from the blood.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys,
put new strength in bad backs. Lau-
rens cures prove it.
J. H. Odcll, of Factory Hill, Hill
Mill hand, says: 81 have been suffer-
ing from backache for a long while.
of the aching across the small of my
back and the dull pain gave me no rest
day or night. Icould not stand straight
and if | sat for a bit and attempted to
arise | had to catch hold Of something
to pull myself up. The secretions from
the kidneys were very red, full of sedi-
ment and got like a jelly after they
stood for a while. / could not retain
them any length of time and had to
rise often at night. l tried several
highly recommended remedies and used
liniments, but nothing did me any good
until | got a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills at the Palmetto Drug Co. and
used them according to directions.
They gave relief almost at once and
since using them the kidney secretions
have gotten clear and natural and | do
not have to get up at nights as l used
to, while the backache has all left me. !"

Protect Your Cotton Bales.

One of the very best results of the
Southern Cotton Association is the en-
enlargement of the farmer to patronize
cotton warehouses. The farmer should
not leave his cotton without shelter.
The deterioration in cotton which is left
exposed to the weather is much greater
than has been supposed. This loss
must of necessity fall on the farmer.
When the farmer holds his cotton back
in order to get a better average price,
it becomes very important to have it
well housed. The cost of warehousing
is cheap as compared with the loss by
rotting or weakening when exposed for
a long time to the weather. -Greenville

Hyomei is used in accordance with di
rections, or we will refund your money

lief in the virtues of Hyomei.

DIST. ATTY. CAPERS
NOT "REAPPOINTED.
Ernest F. Cochran of Anderson is Nomi.
mated by the President as MIR. ca
pers' Successor.

Washington, Jan. 18-The president
to-day sent to the senate the nomina-
ton of Ernest f. Cochran, of Anderson
to be United States attorney for South
Carolina, thereby displac...g John G..
Capers, against whom charges were
filed before the department of justice.
The matter will create a sensation in
South Carolina. The charges were in
vestigated by Attorney General Moody,
who decided it would be better not to
recommend Capers' reappointment.
The attorney general had his atten-
ton called to the conduct of some cases
in South Carolina and came to the con-
clusion that their management was open
to criticism.
Mr.. Cochran was not a candidate for
United States attorney. He was at one
time assistant attorney under Capers,
but resigned some time ago. His APP
pointment to succeed Capers will make
him likely a candidate for United States
judge of the new district.
1t has not been decided who will sue
coed Capers as patronage dispenser in
South Carolina. Cochranis not inclined
to want to attend to that work.
Congressman Wyatt Aiken of the
Third district says ne is responsible for
the investigation of Mr.. Capers' con-
duct and his consequent displacement
for the reason that he did not think Mr..
Capers a proper man for the position.

Chairman Hancock reported for the
finance committee. 1t provided for
dues of 10 cents per bale, allowing 20
per cent. to the national fund, 30 per
cent to the State fund and the remain
der to the county fund. The executive
committee was requested to employ
Hon. E. ID. Smith as national organ
'izer to more completely organize the
various States, his salary to be fixed
by the committee. The report was
adopted.
w. p. Shinault of Mississippi, chair
man of the committee on acreage re-
duction, reported favoring the reduc-
ton of acreage 25 per cent. from that
planted in 1904. AS there were planted
80, 900, 600 acres of cotton in 1904, this
would near that the Southern Cotton
Association is in favor of planting but

j. r. PEDEN IN TROUBLE.
Young Man Who is Well Known in Lau-
rens in Prison at Knoxville. Tenn.


Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. II. = j. r.
Peden, a real estate dealer of Green
vile, S. c., is in Jail in this city charged
with contempt of court in violating an
injunction of the chancery court issued
against him several days ago in a bill
filed against HIM by the Brookside mills
of this city seeking to restrain him
from further attempts in enticing the
employees of the mill to Columbia, S.
c., and other mills in that State. 1t
was claimed that he represented the
Clinton cotton mills. He denies having
violated the injunction though adding
that he had already shipped a number
of mill families from this city and eX-
poets to ship others next Monday. He
claims that he has been falsely impri-
soned and has retained counsel to bring
suit for damages. He has carded this
city with posters asking for mill help,
offering better wages and better living
quarters and cheaper house rents. He
claims that the white mill people do
not live so we'll as the South Carolina
negroes. The scarcity of mill labor in
South Carolina, he says, is due to the
fact that hundreds of the employees
have gone to raising cotton because of
the high price of that staple.
