A WONDERLAND.
New xealand's Belt of Geysers OF
BOILING Water.

If II can imagine a furious and ac-
tive volcano with n crater n thousand
miles In extent, sunk level with the
earth and thinly covered with n screen
Of soil, one has some idea of the w
inspiring "wonderland'' OF New Zea-
lands north island. You cannot poke
O stick into the ground without start
ing Rssboiling spring, and wherever
youEsturn the ground is fairly alive
with geysers of boiling water-steam
5etssapds blo1holes, with Quivering vol
canoes and gurgllng mud pots" all
colored7 Enthusiastically with rainbow
hues, ranging from brilliant sapphire
to vivid scarlet. Stranger still, the
entire face of this region Is constantly
changing In shape and color, and there
are hot springs here stretching in n
continuous chain for 300 miles. The
ground throbs and Quivers with vol
canic activity, and set in the midst of
1t all are native Maori villages of sur
passing interest, a strange race of
magnificent savages, who, although
they have been cannibals within the
memory of man, are now n highly in
'Sii6Sht hUSc uho tStuoIg ocHu IclI-
r~esentatives to the parliament in Wei
lington.
The native women, gorgeous in gar
ments Of crimson, green and purple,
are forever putting stolidly at big
pipes and going hither and %tiiither
about their household work with the
quaintest Of babies slung across their
backs. This reminds me hat domes-
tic work In this strange region Is
made light indeed for white house
wives as well as the MAORI women.
Every garden and back yard has It's
hot water provided by nature.
And when these easy going people
grow hungry the mother prepares n
meat pudding or n joint and drops
1t into n convenient pot of natural
boiling water In the earth, and in n
few minutes Il is cooked. The same
conyCu!ences are still more in evil
dence on washing day. Stepping care
fully through a tangle of boiling gey-
sers and gurgling mud pots, one sud
denly upon a great collection of
native women and girls doing their
washing in n asst smoking lake big
enough to have steamers on it.-W.

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 1Iyomei
absolutely 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 chancellor 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 breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler, reaching every part of
the air passages, destroying all ca
tarrhal germs and curing the disease.

Can We Pull Anvthinn2

Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng
lIsh scientist, said In a lecture that
there is no such thing as pulling. To
speak Of a horse pulling n cart was, he
said, incorrect. The horse did not pull
the cart. 1t pushed against it's collar
and thereby produced motion In the
cart. Similarly the oarsman pushed
the water, and the man drawing a
handcart had to clasp the handle, ana
the driving force was caused by the
part which clasped the handle and was
therefore behind 1t. Even if the cart
was fastened to the mans coat tall he
did not pull It, He pushed against his
clothes.

LAURENS FOLKS AT
ANNUAL REUNION
Large Delegation In Greenville Last
Week-a-SOme Chat About
Various Ones.

Following are some items taken from
The Greenville News relating to Lau-
rens people while in G%reenville last
week:
Next to Greenville, Laurens has per-
haps sent the largest delegation to the
reunion. The fact is Laurens sent Il
ulation to the war, and the Laurcns
people live Il long time, Heading the
Laurens delegation is Col. Il. b. Crews,
commander of Camp Darlington. Col.
Crews has a splendid war record and
had the remarkable experience of hav-
ing come mean losing his life at the
hands of Gen. Wade Hampton. He
was a member of the Hampton Legion
and one night the word came that a
considerable body of the enemy could
be captured by a little strategy. 1t
was near Fredericksburg, in Stafford
county, Va. The company was divided
into squads and sent out at intervals.
Later Gen. Hampton with a company
were to fall in behind the main body of
the scouts, but by mistake, instead of
going far enough to the left they turned
and found themselves facing the men
led by Col. Crews. 1t was dark and
seeing the men approach each mistook
the other and Il free for all fight fol-
lowed. The pass word that night was
"Georgis." Many mistook this word
for "Charge" and the more the pass
word was given the hotter the fighting
grew. Mr., Crews happened to come
directly under the sabre stroke of Gen.
Hampton Just before the mistake was
discovered. The sabre cut through the
vizor of his cap and barely grazed the
skin. Just as this happened w. w.
Russell, of Anderson, had a pistol lev
eled at Gen. Hampton when he was dis
covered.
Another Laurens man who is min
Cling with the throng is j. w. (Chaney
john Little. Mr.. Little is the only
man in South Carolina who has been
connected with the ~dispensary from the
day it was established to the present
moment, and there has never been the
slightest faint attached to him. In
view of the revelations in other quar-
tiers this is somewhat remarkable.
Col. j. III. Iraynham, of Laurens,
who was a courier for Gen. Hampton
and Gen. Gary during the war, spent a
few hours with the veterans yesterday
and will return today.
Mr.. c.. ID. Moseley, of Laurens, Wis
tied his sister, Mrs. j. L.. Killian, on
Washington road yesterday.
Samuel r. Todd, of Laurens, one of
the prominent candidates for the legis-
lature, was in the city Yesterday.
Sheriff Duckctt, of Laurens, is not
only an efficient and stern officer of the
law when occasion requires, but he is
very fond of singing and took a leading
part yesterday Afternoon when the old
soldiers joined in the 'Sweet Bye and
Bye" and other songs.
Col. John H. Wharton, of Waterloo,
is here wearing his Confederate uni
form. There is not a more gallant reb
in the whole State than he. He is run
ming for the State senate from Laurens
county and judging from all reports
will make a good race. For six years
he was railroad commissioner and filled
the office with credit"

Dlxie,a Land.

The phrase Dixie" or "Dixle's
Land" is supposed to be derived from
II Dizzy, a Kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island In fine latter part
of the eighteenth century. His treat.
ment Of his negroes caused them to
regard his plantation ("Dixy's") rs lit
tie short of an earthly paradise, and
when any Of the slaves were taken
away from their old home they were
always pining for "Dixy's" and singing
and talking OF It's Joys. When slavery
moved southwark, the same ideal of
"Dixy's" was taken along, and In the
course Of time. its origin being forgot
ten, 1t was applied to the southern
homes or the negroes. - New York

Big Copper Sales.

There have been some extraordina- " sales of copper during the past two weeks and the aggregate will total at least 8O,CO0 900 pounds.
 The United Metals Selling Co.,, dur ing eight days, has alone dis posed of 6O,OOO,OOO pounds of copper, selling 27,OOO,O 900 pounds in one day. This copper was sold at prices ranging between I3. 50 and 1880 cents and was very largely of the electroiytic brand. Some of this copper has been sold for delivery as far ahead as next March, although none of the large producers care to sell in quantity beyond the first of the year or, for that matter, be- yond December 1.
 The United Metals Selling Co. has no spot copper on hand today and for that matter has very little if any 30- day copper to offer at prices now quoted.
 Orders which have been placed in the market the past 10 days did not come from a few large consumers, but from very large number of man. ufacturers, large and small.
 Charles F. Brooker has bought quite heavily and when he entered the market few days ago his action quickly became known. and spread like wildlire among the smaller COZ sumers. These consumers argued that if prominent member of the re- publican naional committee and the largest individual buyer of copper in this country, had concluded that it was time to buy copper, that was good enough for them and the result was that the orders poured in by wire and telephone in a manner which has not been witnessed for many months. Calumet & Hecla and Phelps, Dodge & Co. have made sales in considerable quantity, so that, with the amount sold by other selling interests, includ- ing the companies which sell direct, it is quite within reason to estimate the total sales during the past ten days at between 75, 900, 900 and loo, O,00O,- coo pounds.
