Atlanta, June 4.-Returns from the
State Democratic primary indicate the
defeat OF Gov. Smith for a second term
by Joseph NJ. Brown. whom Gov. Smith
dismissed from the Office Of railroad
commissioner. The returns indicate that
Browns majority over Smith may be
5000. or even more.
Gov. Smith has been in Office hardly a
year, having been elected twelve months
before he was inaugurated and has a
year of his term yet 10 serve. Gov.
Smith was overwhelmingly elected two
years ago. on platform calling for strict
railroad regulation and the dlsfranchise-
ment Of the negroes. He has largely full
filled his platform. and the revolt against
him is ineXplicable.
Much OF the anti-Smith feeling was
generated by the State prohibition law.
which Gov. Smith signed. and the panic
which threw many men out OF employ
ment was used TO capture the labor vote
Tor Brown. It was openly charged during
the campaign that Brown had the solid
support Of the whisky forces and the
railroads Gov. Smith was also opposed
by the coterie or politicians who had
long dominated the State. and whom he
overthrow two years ago.
Black Eye for Prohibition.
The defeat Of Gov. Smith VIII be con-
sidered a black eye for prohibition and
Acknowledgement
A remarkable feature of the campaign
Is that Brown did not make a single
speech, and is not known personally
throughout the State. 1t is doubtful n
one in a thousand Of the men who voted
Tor Brown would know the man II they
met him.
Gov Smith was awakened by the atti-
tude Of Thomas E. Watson. the Populist
leader. Two years ago Watson supported
Smith. but this year fought him bitterly.
although Brown represented the coterie
OF politicians whom Watson has alwavs
opposed. Watsons determination and the
antagonism Of the farmers union. anger
ed by the fall in the price OF cotton. cost
Smith heavily in the country districts.
Abolished Railroad Passes

MIR. Jodie Culbertson and a native of
Laurens, last week, in a letter to The
Baptist Courier, said:
| want to tell you what the Lord has
done for lis here. We have Just closed

fist and Methodist, united and worked
together. The preaching was done by
Rev. w. P. Marlborough, Methodist
Evangelist. AS a result sixty-two have
united with the two churches. The

Notable Medical Discovery
OF Special Value to Many Here in
LaurenS.

A notable medical discovery and one
that appeals especially to many people
in Laurens is the combination Of stom-
ach remedies in the Mona treatment.
This preparation has worked wonders
in cases of Indigestion or weak stomach.
1T acts specifically upon the walls of
the stomach and bowels, strengthening
and stimulating them so that they read
lily take care of the food that is eaten
without distress or suffering.
So positive are the good effects fol-
lowing the use Of Mi-o-na that the rem
edy is sold by Laurens Drug Co. under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it fails to cure. With an offer
like this nom can afford to suffer with
indigestion or stomach troubles. a 80
cent box or Mi-o-na will do more good
than half a dozen boxes of ordinary di-
gestive tablets.

The Editors Advice.

The poultry editor of Il country paper
received this letter from a poetical
summer cottager:
Dear Editor-W What shall | do? Each
morn when | visit my henhcusc / find
two or three fowls on their backs, their
feet sticking straight up and their souls
wandering through fields Elysian.
What is the matter?"
The prosaic editor replied by return
mail:
Dear Friend The principal trouble
with your hens seems to be that they
are dead. There isn't much that you
can do, as they will probably be that
way for some time"
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1908-05-20

is less labor to work an acre in either
of these crops than in corn. They re-
quire less fertilizer and the soil is left
in better condition. Much of their
value depends upon the way they are
cured.
"a working days ration for a
mule with a good night pasture would
be: Hay, 6 pounds; soy bean hay, 10
pounds Tor cowpea hay, 8 pounds; or
peanut hay, Z pounds; and corr a
pounds. The actual cost of this ration
to the farmer is about 10 cents, or SO
a month. For the six working months
this would make SIS, and for the six
remaining months the mule can be fed
on grass and pea vines, pastures, and
refuse crops at about 50 a month, max
ing a total of $50 a year. For some
years have kept an account of the
cost of feeding my mules on this plan,
and the total cost has been below this
estimate. While we are on the mule
question let me suggest that it is al
ways good economy to have 20 per cent
more mules than are actually required
for the crop, so as to haye an extra an
ina in case of accident or to have an
additional team for emergency work"

John, land | want to think the matter

what would you use?" said Uncle
John.

draft mares or the hackney. The colt
raised annually would pay all the ex-
penses and my team work would cost
me nothing. That is the French plan.

The Great American Mule.

The industry and intrinsic value of
the American hen have been so often
lauded on the floors of congress that it
is a relief to hear a modest tribute to
the usefulness of the American mule.
In the senate on April 25th, Mr.. Aldrich,
of Rhode Island, was continuing the
statement of Mr.. Beveridge, of Indiana,
that England would not have overcome
the Beers without her navy, when Mr..
Nelson, of Minnesota, was recognized,
and said:
81 desire to call the senator's atten-
ton to the fact that the American
mules which the British succeeded in
getting into the Boer country enabled
them to triumph in that war"
The truth is that the mule, in spite
of the blot upon his escutcheon and the
handicap of small feet. a rat tail, and
ears that excite laughter, is first in
peace, being found on every farm and
in every railway cut, and first in war
as a feeder of armies and hauler of
guns, baggage and medical supplies.
The hen makes more noise over the
laying of one egg than is heard from a
mule in a whole campaign. And the
hen is cheered to her work by the ring
ing vaunt of her polygamous partner,
while the only inspiration of the mule
is his simple devotion to the gray horse
which he swings after up the trail.
The hen is all very we'll as a contribu-
tor to the breakfast table, but for gen
eral utility and honest worth she is
not to be mentioned IN the same breath
with the American mule. May his un-
calmly shadow never grow less.-EX.
