Store Your Cotton.

Editor Archibald Johnson observed
some time ago that the average South
ern farmer takes no more care of a bale
of cotton than if it were a %grindstone,
and the charge is painfully near the
truth. The cotton grower is pretty
we'll off, thank you, hut there is abso-
lutely no excuse for throwing away a
million dollars just because it takes a
little trouble to get the crop under
shelter. Fields & Becton, writing in
the Kinston Free Press, put the case so
plainly that We wish to repeat what
they say:
MANY millions of dollars were lost
by the Southern farmers during the
past season on account of damaged cot
ton, all caused by exposure to all sorts
of weather. The farmers, however,
were not the only losers. Merchants,
exporters and manufacturers all came
in for their share of losses from this
source, and will in future refuse all Of
ferings of this class. The farmer who
offers damaged cotton for sale during
the coming season, will find to his sor-
row that there is no market for his pro-
duct, in a damaged condition, except at
a great loss to him. Cotton at any
price, is too valuable to be neglected,
and it is the duty of every farmer to
see that it is properly sheltered, as the
loss on damaged cotton would be
greater than the gain on account of the
advance in price. Progressive Farm
err.

She Was Over 100 Years Old.

About the 10th of January there died
at the old Boyce homestead in Jacks
Township the oldest person in the county
beyond doubt, "Aunt" Lucy Cor
don, an old negress and family servant.
She claimed that she was born in 1904
which made her 1O2 years old at the
time of her death.
Those who had known her for over
fifty years do not doubt the correctness
of her claim. She belonged to Mrs.
Nancy Boyce and continued to live at
the old place after it passed into the
hands of Capt. A. B. Byrd and sisters.
Aunt" Lucy as she was known to
every one, was a faithful and sacrific-
ing servant, who was never happier
than when serving her good white
folks" by whom she was ever held in
high respect.

THE LAURENS DRUG COMPANY TEST.
Sold Hyomei for Years and Know it VIII
Cure Catarrh.

The Laurens Drug Co. have given
Hyomei a most thorough and remarka-
BILE test. For a long time they have of
fered to refund the money to any pur-
chaser of Hyomei, if it failed to bene-
fit.
The remedy has made so many cures
among their customers that they have
urged it's use in the most chronic cases
of catarrh.
Breathed for a few minutes four
times a day, through the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it soothes the
irritated mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and lungs, kills the catarrhal
germs, and restores complete health.
Its healing, antiseptic fragrance pene-
trates to the most remote air passages,
as no medicine taken into the stomach
can possibly do. Immediate relief al
most always follows the use of Hyomei
and great benefit is seen after a few
days treatment.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
only 81, and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the pocket or purse,
and will last a lifetime, a medicine
dropper, and bottle of Hyomei. Ii
this is not sufficient for a complete
cure, additional bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for so cents.
Compare this small expense with fees
charged by specialists, and remember,
too, if Hyomei does not cure, The Lau,
rens Drug Co. will return your money.

A Story Of Two Dollars.

The Ashland Gazette of Ashland
Nebraska, recently printed a littl
story which teaches a lesson that nigh
be learned with much profit by som.
people in Laurens. There is a DISPOSE
ton among many people, town people
to send their money to other cities fol
things they can buy right here in Lau
rens just as cheap and often cheape,
than abroad and at the same time you
have the satisfaction of seeing what
you are getting, to say nothing of the
Importance your dollar spent at home
plays in the upbuilding of the city.
The money that is sent away stays
away. Spdnd it here and it remains
with home people.
The Nebraska papers story is as fol-
lows:
"a man in Ashland had two silver
Yer dollars. The man sent one of them
to a Kansas City mail order house for
twenty pounds of sugar, and the dollar
went of Squeers, Sawbuck & Co., and
where the man saw it never more for
ever.
"This was the story of one dollar.
1.-The other dollar he zen to a home
merchant. 1t IA a little old, black
ened, worn dollar, and at first the mer-
chant didn't know whether to take it or
not, but finally decided to do so, as he
figured that if the bank would not take
it he would pass it on the home editor
who would be glad enough to take any
thing that resembled a dollar. So he
sent the goods and paid the dollar to
the editor. The editor bought a suit of
underwear with the dollar, and the peo-
pie marvelled. The merchant who got
the dollar from the editor gave it to a
laborer for fixing the sidewalk in front
of his store. The laborer paid. it to a
doctor for medicine for his sick child.
The doctor gave it to the boy who
cares for his horses and the boy bought
a cap and a pair of mittens. The mer-
chant then gave it to his wash woman,
who paid her rent. The landlord paid
it on his church dues, and the church
bought coal. The coal dealer was an
absent-minded fellow and he paid it
back to the editor for an ad. Before the
editor had recovered from the shock of
receiving two dollars in one week, the
who bought the goods in the first
place came in and he paid it back to
him fol 3 load of cobs he had bought
years before.
with n dollar he bought twenty
pounds of sugar. With the other he
had bought the goods, paid the editor,
fixed the sidewalk, doctored a sick
