BEST OF PROOF
That hyomei Will Cure All Forms of
Catarrhal Diseases,

Testimonials could be printed by the
thousand, many of them from Laurens
and nearby towns, saying that ITyome,
abso lutely cures all catarrhal troubles.
The best proof of it's unusual curative
powers is the guarantee that Laurens
Drug Co. give with every outfit they
sell Money back if Hyomei does not
do all that is claimed for it.
Hyomei is not a secret remedy. It's
formula is freely given to physicians
when they prescribe Hyomei. 1t IS
guaranteed under the Pure Food and
Drug Law by Serial No. 1418.
There is no dangerous stomach drug
ging when Hyomei is used. It's healing
medication is breath.l through neat
pocket inhaler, reaching every part of
the air passages, destroying all ca
tarrhal germs and curing the disease.

In about fifty words behind. He didn't
stay there long, though. ST. Louis let
out another link OF speed. and still an

table hummcd like an old style Singer

office left his desk and gathered around

Can Wo Pull Anxthinn 2

Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng.

there Is no such thing as pulling. To
speak Of horse pulling n cart was, he
said, Incorrect. The horse did not pull
the cart 1t pushed against its collar
and thereby produced motion in the

the driving force was caused by the

Clifford Seminary discouragcs both
the skimming and the cramlng method
Of study.
The timc-honorcd college curriculum
is followed. English and mathematics
stand first on the list
A thorough knowledge of these two
branches is insisted on because they are
of the greatest practical value in all
life work and because they form the
only solid solid foundation for good
scholarship.
On this foundation is based a thor
ough business course that fits girl for
broader courses Of training that lead to
the degrees Of A. Il. and b. s.
Clifford Seminary has full corps of
college trained teachers, who are capa-
BILE and enthusiastic workers, thoroughly
in love with their work. They make
every effort to develop character and
the highest type of womanhood. They
are the friends and sympathetic com
panions of the pupils out of the school
room and share their recrcations and
amusements.
No training can better prepare teach
ers for the children of South Carolina
than this. Schoo, Trustees who have
tried them write: A Clifford Seminary
graduate is our first choice always.
Other special features of this institu-
ton are: Limited numbers, home like

Very Heavy Snow Fall.

Between two and three feet of snow
fell in the county Saturday and Sunday.
Monday the wind commenced to blow
and the snow drifted several feet deep
in the cuts and gulleys. Wagon roads
in places were rendered impossible
On the switchback snow drifted into
the cuts and covered the track five and
six feet. The incoming passenger train
Monday evening was stalled at point
near the Sleepy Hollow. The engine
was disconnected from the coaches and
bucked the snow until it reached the cut
near the Cook mine. 1t could not make
an opening at this and in the meantime
the snow had drifted in on the track
back of it and it couldn't go either way
There were several passengers in the
cars and these were compelled to stay
in the coaches until the wind subsidized
early Tuesday morning. Aspecial with
large gang of men was sent up from
Golden Tuesday morning, to clear the
the track. The cars the men were
brought up in were used to convey the
Central and Black Hawk passengers to
Denver Tuesday morning, the train
leaving from the latter point.
