Capt Frank c. Fishburne.

Laurens was visited last week by
Capt. Frank c. Fishburne of Charleston,
candidate for Railroad Commissioner.
Capt. Fishburne is making a thorough
canvas of the State in the interest of
his candidacy, hayinng. already visited
now in the Piedmont; he is a thorough
c~anvasser, a genial heightened gentle
man, and a mar of no small mental
ability. While in Laurens he met a
number of representative citizens who
were very favorably impressed and SO
expressed themselves. Mr.. Fishburne
has met with much encouragemen so
far and feels assured of winning in the
election this fall. Both the other COM
m~issloners reside in the Piedmont and
there are many who contend that the
lower section of the State is entitled to
n at least.
Capt. Fishburne is a member of one
of the best families in South Carolina;
is an excellent business man, thoroughly
honest and honorable; and if he is elected
we have no fears but that he will serve
the State well and faithfully.

DESTRUCTIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE.

Commenting on the recent disagree
ment between Edit9s Rice and Hick-
son, of the Union Times, the Walter
boro Press and Standard has the follow
ing:
"F. C. Hickson, who has for a short
while been editor of the Union Times,
has resigned because his views and
those of the senior editor, l.. M. Rice,
did not coincide, and rather than be
handicapped by writing according to
Mr.. Rice's views he resigned. This is
right. If a man cannot be a mar then
editing a newspaper is not his calling,
and rather than submit to dictation as
to what he shall write any self-respect-
ing editor should resign. But South
Carolina journalism has lost a valuable
writer"
The foregoing is perfectly sound in
principle regarding manhood as a requi-
site qualification in editing a newspa-
per; yet it's special application here is
slightly misle a.gglo especially ujjnI}caXiit sGMX
is that Editor Hickson's policy was
right while possibly such was not al
ways the case. From the newspaper
accounts we judge that Editor Rice
considered Mr.. Hickson's editorial pol
icy as destructive" There are two
ways of accomplishing good in public
life, namely, first, by lauding the good
that exists, with the hope hat such
commentator will increase and multi
ply the good; second, by continuously
attacking the evil with the hope of
thereby destroying it. The latter is
termed a obstructive" tear-down pol
icy, and it seems such was the method
Of Editor Hickson, to which Mr.. Rice
objected.
We have no doubt but that both edi-
tors were working sincerely for the
cause of right in the work; they diff
fered in methods. Which is right and
which is wrong, if either, we dare not
Judge; but for u part we prefer the
Constructive" methods and think that
it accomplishes more good in the end.

Hamlet, With Hamlet Left Out.

EQltOr
To attend Memorial services and the
average Confederate reunion of today,
very forcibly reminds one of this fine
old play of Shakespeare being rendered,
with the main characters left out;
Hamlet, with no Hamlet in it,. If a
luncheon is given in honor of our brave
old veterans of the ''lost cause" to
these men who bore the "Bannerof the
Bars aloft through the four years of
terrible civil war; they are crowded
back from the table by brisk, brassy
young America. If an address is made
on these occasions, the best seats are
occupied and the gentle, quiet, gray
haired old heroes are crowded back into
just any seat they ear get, while people
who were born long since those days of
conflict, fill the seats to which they
have no right. Should this order of
things be allowed? If so, her the
name of the occasion should be changed.
Each year the ranks of the men who
wore the gray are growing thinner; they
are fast responding to the "Roll call up
yonder;" if we propose a Memorial
Day" in honor Of the living and the
dead Veterans, then let us observe it
right.

Much Concern Felt.
Ordinary Methods for Treating Catarrh
Prove Unsuccessful.

Written statistics that show an in
crease in catarrh have shaken conf
dence in the usual prescriptions to safe
guard human health from the ravages
of this disease.
When stomach dosing was proven in
effective it was natural to look for some
other treatment, and it is believed that
in Hyomie an absolute cure for all ca
tarrhal troubles has at last been found.
Inhaled with the air you breathe, its
healing medication reaches every part
of the nose and throat and soothes the
irritated mucous membrane so that re-
lief is almost instant while lasting cure
is practically sure to follow.
The complete Hyomie outfit costs but
$l.OO and is sold by Laurens Drug Co.
under an absolute agreement to refund
the money if it does not give satisfac-
ton.

CITIZEN, SOLDIER AND PRIEST.

= The death of Bishop Ellison Capers
Is mourned throughout the State of
J South Carolina and the Southland. AS
a soldier in defense of his country, men
kew and honoured him; as a citizen Of
this commonwealth, his fellows re-
spected and admired him; and as a min
ister Of God, he people loved and re-
vered him. For forty years, after a
faithful service in behalf of his home
land, this good man labored in the cause
of righteousness and for the uplifting
of his fello wmen; for fifteen years he
was Bishop of the diocese of South
Carolina, which honoured office he held
at the time of his death.
/ No higher tribute can be offered than
say that Bishop Capersw was a citizen,
soldier and a priest.

MAYOR CLARENCE 4 5

Generally a public official comes in for
a good share Of roasting and is knocked
OF all sides; this is generally the case
and sometimesit is just and right. A
little gathering on the street is some-
times a very potent force in the shaping
of public affairs and sometimes even
decides the fate of public servants.
Just here, if space permitted, we would
deal in a little dissertation on these
street gatherings that so often make or
mar a man or an institution, but this
discussion relates TO Mayor Clarence M.
Babb and we confine it to such.
1t so happens that the popular head
of the Laurens city government was,
instead of being adversely criticised,
the object of unqualified praise. The
time was Friday afternoon; place, in
front of the hotel; persons, Col. T. D.
Darlington ct al. The words that at
tracted our attention were these:
Clarence Babb is the dog-gone best
mayor this town ever had" OF course
we were shocked at the near approach
to profanity on the part of Col. OAR
lington. so We fingered close by for fear
of a greater utburst, but nothing very
serious happened. "Just look around
here at the W TX going on in this town
if you don't believe what / say" on
tinued Col. Darlington. During Mr..
Babb's administration there has been
an amount of work done on these streets
here that can hardly be estimated or
appreciated; the public property has
been exceedingly well managed and
thereby increased IN value; the work of
paving the square is at his instigation;
the new residences and remodelling of
dozens of houses is in consequence of
the public improvements in the vicinity
of the property; everything in the
whole town is in a growing, progressing
state because Of the wise and aggres-
sive policy of the administration"
Now this is what we call genuine
praise and it will no doubt be so re.
garded by Mr.. Babb and the city coun.
Gil, who have been in hearty accord
with the mayor. Laurens is to be con
graduated upon choosing men who
know how to do things and who are not
afraid to do them. The foregoing is
said in no disparagement of former off,
Gals; of their administrations we know
nothing, but we do say this much or
our own responsibility: there is not {
shadow of a doubt but that the policies
Of some former officials made it posi-,
BILE and easier for the good work which
Mr.. Babb is doing.

"0ne Touch of Nature Makes the Whole
World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
ne calls all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
ceptionally good; he wants ali his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery. This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy write letters to
the manufacturers for publication
that others similarly ailing may also
use it and obtain relief. Behind every
one of these letters is a warm-hearted
wish of the writer to be of use to some
one else: This remedy is for sale by
