WAS 1T VISIONARY
OR WAS IT REAL ?


A Tombstoner dreamed that he was
in Jail in the basement of the court
house, and the court house was in Bis
lee, "A stately pile OF masonry on the

Soap.

Who invented soap? That this is not
modern convenience is we'll known.
But just when it came into general use
is mystery.
In Biblical times cleansing agents
were used. The books of Job and Jere-
miah contain the word Soap" But
this is merely convenient use of the
word in translation. The Hebrew word
"borrith," " for which it was submitted,
is a general term for cleaning sub
stances. What these substances were
is unknown, but were probably little
like the modern soap.
Pliny speaks of the invention Of soap
by the Gauls, who, however, used it
only as sort of pomade or hair dress
ing. He also refers to the use of both
hard soap and soft soap by the Ger
mans. The use of fuller's earth which
has saponaceous qualities, for cleansing
purposes, was known to the Romans. -

True! Too True.

Candidate Blease, by the way, has
changed his platform since his last eff
fort for gubernatorial honors. Laurens
Advertiser.
How many times has Gov. Ansel
changed his platform in the last six
years. Most of our leaders are rather
followers than leaders We have a
recollection that is somewhat distinct
that all of our candidates for governor
six years ago were whooperS up of the
State dispensary system, including the
present governor. Two years ago Gov.
Anscl won on the platform of abolish
ing the State institution and having To-
cal county option as between county
dispensary and prohibition. Now he
stands for State wide prohibition.
Somewhat a follower of the tide of
public opinion as he intcrprcts it. ~

The Need OF Men.

the great interest which is being taken
over the country in the important mat
ter of sending a strong delegation to

"The need Of good, strong, sensible
men can be illustrated by an incident in
last weeks State Convention. In the
midst of parliamentary tanglc when
1T took close attention and no little
mental effort to know where one was
at one Greenwood delegate, new to the
business, turned to another Greenwood
delegate in the same boat and said,
Suppose this was the Legislature, what
chance would pce-wec have to get
anything accomplishcd?' And the other
delegate answered, not elegantly, but
forcibly, AS much as a tallow legged
man would have in walking match in

Laurens to be Congratulated.
,&+%E4:4 4444agXsESsa44Y4.s4:

The Advertiser came out last week
and announced its platform in the fol-
lowing words:
"Our platform: WhiSkcy drinking is
dangerous to say the least of it. and as
citizen we refuse to help create de-
mand for commodity which may harm
us or others.
"Our platform: Whiskey selling is
wrong in principle, inherently wrong,
and as citizen and voter we refuse to
authorize its sale.
We congratulate not only Editor
Boney, but the county of Lamens upon
having newspaper that prizes princi-
pie above everything else. 1t is great
thing for the people Of that old county
which has been rum cursed for so many
years to have such newspaper.
OF course some of the men who ai-
vocate the sale of liquor will slander
him and his newspaper. They cannot
help it. That is the stock in trade Of
most of the men who stand on that
side, but it will all amount to nothing.
Truth is eternal and it is bound to win
in the end in spite of the lying slander-
ers of the enemy of all that is good.
And what is more, it will not be long
before newspaper that stands for the
liquor traffic will not be tolerated in any
community. y.-Greenwood Journal.

Dreams and Nightmares.

Many of our commonest dreams are
occasioned by bodily conditions or sur
roundings. Loosened sheets at the foot
of the bed on cold night soon deposit
sIceper's feet in rivers or snow banks,
just as second helping at dinner or a
tendency to lie on ones back in bed
readily conjurcs up whole lcgions of
spooks. Certain evidence on this point
was collected in DR.. G. Stanley Halls
psychological laboratory at Clark Uni
versity from personal testimony. From
this it would appear that children prefer
animals for their Nightmares, whereas
adults incline toward burglars, jailcrs
and the like. Lady's Realm.

Pneumonia Worse Than tuberculosis

Contrary to the general opinion tuber-
culosis is no longer tie scourge of So
cicty, says the New York Times. It's
place as death dealing destroyer has
been taken by another disease which is
making great havoc the world over.
This dominant slayer of the race is
pneumonia. 1t is now the most deadly
Of all diseases. Every year it is killing
off about 140, 900 persons in the United
States. Allowing a mortality rate of
one-fifth of the total number of cases,
this means that there are about 700, 600
cases annually in this country. In New
York, with it's sudden changes of wealth
er and severe winters, 36 in every 10, 600
persons die of the disease every year.
Boston comes next with death rate of
30 in every 10000, and Philadelphia and
Chicago are not far behind. In some
European cities, however, the ghastly
results are much worse than in the
United States, notably in Vienna, where
pneumonia carries off 40 in every 10, 900
persons every year. London's popula-
tion suffers severely from the inroads
of the disease, as also of Stockholm
and other cities. Berlin is perhaps the
best off of the European cities in this
respect; its mortality rate from pneu-
monia is about 16 in every 10000.

Another Laurens Church Speaks Out.

week or two ago we published a
notice of the step taken by the First
Baptist church, of Laurens, in deciding
to discipline any members who vote for
the sale of liquor.
We felt confident that this good ex-
ample would be followed, and sure
enough the Advertiser reproduces a
letter from the Baptist Courier written
to that paper by Thomas H. Burts, from
which we take the following:
''At our last conference the church
took high ground in favor of temper
ance and prohibition against the use of
liquor as beverage and it's sale legal
or illegal, by private individuals or cor
porations, and we went on record in the
following resolutions:
THAT it is the duty of every church
member to abstain from it's use and
take his stand for total prohibition
That it is the duty of every member
of this church to vote against the traffic
and sale of the same whenever an OPP
portunitY is afforded.
81 believe the time has come when
Christian people must take decided
stand for the right, have convictions
and stand by them.
Il hope to let you hear from us later
on"
The name of this church is Union and
1T is " Laurens county, and the pastor
is Rev. w. D. Hammett. This is not
the end. The day is coming when no
decent man will dare raise his voice in
the interest of the liquor traffic. 1t
will not then be necessary for churches
to discipline their members for voting
for the sale of whiskey. There are
some mighty good people in Laurens. -

No Need OF Suffering from Rheumatism

1t is a mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic, as the pain can al
ways be relieved, and in most cases a
cure effected by applying Chamberlain s
Pain Balm. The relief from pain which
it affords is alone worth many times its
cost. 1t makes sleep and rest possible.
Even in cases of long standing this lini-
ment should be used on account of the
relief which it affords. 25 and so cent
