TRUTH ABOUT CATARRH.
Sensible Methods Will Cure It-De-
LOrme's Parmacy Guarantees Hy-
Omei to Cure Catarrh.

Catarrh can never be cured by TAX
ing medicines into the stomach nor
by sprays, atomizers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long
ago discarded such ideas and not one
Of them would be worth consideration
were it not for the fact that unscrup-
ulous persons prey upon the ignor-
ance of the people in regard to new
discoveries.
Catarrh is caused by germs and
just as long as these germs thrive in
the folds, crevices, hooks and corn
ers of the mucous membrane that
line the nose, throat and chest, just so
long will you have catarrh.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrh, and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when it gets where the
germs are, and that is Hyomei.
Hyomei is made chiefly from Aus
tralian Eucalyptus and Eucalyptol
combined with other germ killing an
tiseptics. Just breathe it in through the
hard rubber inhaler that comes with
each outfit and relief is immediate.
Used regularly for a few weeks TIy-
omei pronounced High-o-me) will
cure chronic catarrh. Complete out

WISH TO HOLD REV. DIR. FRASER
Refusal of Virginians 10 Release Pres
ident-eiect of Seminary Will be
Taken to Synod.

Staunton, Va, Nov. 1S.-The Lex
ington presbytery met today in ad-
journed session for the purpose of
considering the question whether or
not to release the Rev. A. M. Fraser,
d. D., to Bethel presbytery In South
Carolina that he may become presi-
dent Of the Theological seminary and
professor of one of it's departments.
DR.. Fraser is generally beloved by
his congregation, which protested
strenuously against his leaving.
The school was represented before
the presbytery by w. A. Clark Of the
Columbia bar. chairman of the exc
cutive committee Of the seminary.
and by w. N. McPheeters, one of its
professors.
DR.. Fraser personally expressed his
great reluctance to go, and declared
his great happiness here, but he said
he felt the call was one from God.
The matter was debated before the
for many hours. the vote
resulting in the refusal of the pres
bytery to release DIR. Fraser. The
matter will probably be appealed to
the synod.-The State.

Sumter needs a new hotel and the
town is losing every day by not hav-

public as good or little better than
any other town in this section Of the
State. If the plan suggested by the
committee does not meet with enthu-
siastic approval there is nothing to
prevent anyone suggesting a better
plan. What Sumter wants Is a no.

DR.. j. A. Mood made the report on
good roads and spoke earnestly IN
favor of an extra levy of taxes for
road building. A general discussion
followed, but no decision was reach
ed, except that to have better roads
the people must consent to pay more
taxes.
Mr.. III. L. Scarborough made the
report for the committee on the cot
ton market. This report brought on
a lengthy discussion of the whole cot
ton situation and the reasons for the
general belief that Sumter, as a cot
ton market. is not measuring up to
Its opportunity and it's responsibility
Mr. O'Donnell, Mr.. e. w. Dabbs, Mr..
j. +. Glenn and others took part and
good deal of information was
brought out to the general effect that
Sumter buys cotton on an average
price and pays as much or more than
any other town in this section of the
State. that grade for grade the farm
er receives for his cotton In Sumter
all 1t Is worth and that a great ma
jority Of farmers prefer to sell at an
average price to selling it strictly on
grade.
There was general regret expressed
when the announcement was made
that Mr.. Manning had positively de-
clined to accept reelection for an
other term, and Mr.. Jennings aptly
voiced the sentiment of the meeting
when he said. In his speech of accept
ance, that the only consolation the
members of the Chamber Of Com
merce had In giving Mr.. Manning up
as president was the thought that he
soon would be called to a position Of
greater Importance and wider useful
ness to the whole State and that as
Governor Of South Carolina he would
do as much for the whole people as
he had done for Sumter.
The following committee on enroll
ment OF new members was appointed
during one Of the momentary lulls in
the proceedings: j. II. Chandler, c.
c. Smith, l. I. Strauss, II. A. Moses
ID. r. McCallum, Jr. The committee
enrolled AZ new members from
among those present. This commit
tee will continue to serve and any

interest and value and will, on that
account will be published within the
