THEIR AIM is A REPUBLIC.
Polish Patriots in This Country
Linked In a Great League

All over the world Poles are watch
ing the course of events in Russia and
asking one another SIS there hopeg"
They do not say of what. That is not
necessary. To Poles the phrase has but
one meaning-the independence of their
country But their leaders. the Secret
Central Committee of the Polish League.
are playing a waiting game
This Secret Central Committee is re-
ally wonderful organization-a govW,n-
ment within Il government. II consists
of the ableSt men in the National
League, vast society that numbers
nearly every adult male Pole and many
women as well. The league has branches
III every place where there are enough
Poles to form club of some sort or
other. No matter whether the club be
social, literary, dramatic, political or
athletic, it is first of all patriotic.
There is a secret committee at the
head of the various organizations in ev-
cry country where the Poles have extern
Sive interests. There is one here in
New York; which governs the $4,000
members in America. There is another
in London, and still others in Paris, Ber-
lin and even st. Petersburg and War
saw.
From these subcommittee delegates
are chosen for the highest committee of
all, the Central Committee, whose word
is law. These delegates are usually men
of considerable wealth, all of it pledged
to the cause, and, without exception, Of
high personal integrity. This is vital.
because they have undisputed control of
the funds of the league, and are answer
able to no one for their expenditures.
Nearly all Poles are firmly determined
that if they ever become an independent
nation they will have a republic on the
plan of our own and with a constitution
based on ours. All parties-National
ist, Agrarian the three Socialistic par
ties and couple Of others-make this
the chief plank in their platforms.
The league in this country has $4,000
members, of whom 900 are women. At
its last conference held Mt Buffalo about,
month ago. some $4,000 was appropri-
ated for different expenses, among them
being a statue of Kosciusko, to be erect.
ed in Washington and presented to the
American people, and the establishment
of higher Polish school in Pennsylv
MIA. Among the activities of the New
York branch is a fund for the relief
of Polish deserters from the Russian
army who flee to this country.

Generally That Is Not the Trouble.
Persons with susceptibility to ma

the liver with bile.
A lady writes from Denver that she
suffered for years from chills and fe-

that my headaches have disappeared,

help in medicines and the doctor
frankly advised her to quit coffee and
use Postum.

LITTLE pocket PHYSICIAN.
Hyomei Inhaler that is Guaranteed by
Laurens Drug Co. to Cure Catarrh.

Thousands who have been cured by
Hyomei, call the inhaler that comes
with every outfit 1.-THE little pocket
physician, " as it is so small that it can
be carried in the pocket or purse.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei,
statistics showed that at least 81 out of
every 100 persons in this state were suf-
fering from catarrh in some form. The
remarkable results following the use of
Hyomei are shown by the smaller per-
centage today of people suffering from
catarrh.
There is really no excuse whatever
for anyone having catarrh now that
Hyomei is so readily obtainable. If
you have any doubts about its value,
Laurens Drug Company will let you
have a complete outfit with the under
standing that unless it cures catarrh, it
will not cost you a cent.
A complete Hyomei outfit consists of
''the little pocket physician" a medi-
cine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei,
and costs only 81, while additional bot
ties of Hyomei can be procured for 80
cents, making it the most economical,
as well as the most reliable treatment
for the cure of catarrh.
Do not delay longer the use of
Hyomei, if you have catarrh. This is
a purely local dis ease, and Hyomei goes
right to the spot where the catarrhal
germs are present, destroys them,
soothes and heals all inflammation, and
makes a permanent and ing cure.

CAPT cApHRs INDICATED.
Statement From the President Regarding
Appointment of His Successor.

Upon the appointment Of Mr.. Coch-
ran of Anderson as district attorney
last week to succeed Capt. John G.
Capers there was much surprise at the
Presidents action in view of the fact
that{Capt. Capers had been given no
opportunity to clear up alleged charges
against him at the Department of JUS
tice in connection with his conduct as
district attorney. Capt. Capers stated
that he was surprised himself and pro-
ceeded to Washington at once for the
purpose of seeking an explanation.
Sundays papers of the State con-
tanned a long statement from Capers
regarding his case. He has returned
to the State and states that he is salts
fled.
Following is President Roosevet's
letter to Capt. Capers bearing on the
case.
White House,
Washington, Jan. %, 1906.
Hon. John G. Capers,
Raleigh Hotel,
Washington, ID. o.:
My Dear Mr.. Capers:-
i have decided to appoint Mr.. Coch-
ran district attorney in place of your
self. This is not to be taken as a re-
Election upon you. The facts are sim
ply that in looking over the ground ]
came to the conclusion that better work
could be done by Mr.. Cochran and that
on the whole the interests of the SER
vice would besbest met by his appoint
ment. "a
Sincerely yours,
Theodore Roosevelt.
"That is the whole story" said Mr..
Capers, "and / will now have Mr..
Cochran confirmed"

Avery Patton, chairman of the county
Investigating commission, swore out
before Magistrate Stradley yesterday
warrants for obtaining money under
false pretences against ten of the per-
sons charged with defaulting the COUNTY
in the commissions report. 1t is i'm
probable that the preliminary examina-
tons in these cases can be had before
the current term closes, so that indict-

be transmitted to the grand jury be-
fore the next term of court.
