I 1t Is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unimpaired. This she
may do through the use of Mothers
Friend, a remedy that has been so
long In use, and accomplished so
much good, that 1t is in no sense an
experiment, but a preparation which
always produces the best results. 1t
Is for exernal application and so pen
etrating in its nature as to thoroughly
lubricate every muscle, nerve and ten
don involved during the period before
baby comes. 1t aids nature by ex-
panding the skin and tissues, relieves
tenderness and soreness, and perfectly
prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and Its use will
prove comfort and a benefit to any
woman in need of such a remedy.

The Advertiser is i'm receipt of IA let
ter from Mr. w. ID. Byrd. President of
the Laurens County Fair. The letter
of Mr.. Byrd's comes v'ry opportune-
ly as the date OF the fair is rapidly
approaching. Only Il little over
month now remains in which to get
the COWS sleeked, the horses we'll
groomed and the hogs, sheep, goats,
chickens and other things we'll pre-
pared to enter the ring. Mr. Byrd
writes as follows:
We hope to make the fair primarily
an educational one. a real educational
fair which has for its purpose the
bettcrment of the farming and stock
raising people. The social feature we
ought all to look forward to that we
might spend day together and learn
to know more of our people and coun-.
ty.
We want everybody to attend tho
afr. Go there to learn and to help
others to learn and to have good
time. There will be no gambling ma
chimes, indecent shows and other
things which you would not wish the
children to learn about We are en-
dcavoring to have a fair that the la
dies, the children and the gentlemen
of the old school can attend
We want everybody to feel that II IS
their fair and to take something to it
for exhibition. You may not get a
blue ribbon, YOU may not get rib
bon at all, but If you have an animal
or farm product of more than usual
merit, take it and let others see what
YOU are doing Whatever you have
done we'll you have a right to be proud
of and it will do YOU good to add it to-
the display.
Now every man, woman and child,
get ready to attend the fair not only
attend but get something ready for an
exhibit and then we will have fair
that we VIII all be proud Of

THE SUDDEN DEATH
OF BOYCE b. NELSON
Found in his Room Saturday Afternoon
Where an EpiIcpuc Attack had End.
ed His Life.

Mr.. Boyce b. Nelson, we'll konwn
young man of the city. was found dead
in his room Saturday afternoon by
his washerwoman who had gone up to
carry his clothes. For some years Mr..
Nelson had been subject to recurring
attacks of epilepsy caused by blow
received in base ball game at Cross
Hill some eight years ago. Although
the attacks became more frequent as
the years passed and more violent
no relief or cure could be found for
him and his death at any time had al
ways been anticipated. When he was
found only his sleeping apparel being
on him, his body gave unmistabable
evidence of the cause of his death.
His face was greatly discolored caus-
ed by the rush of blood to the head
and his body was on the floor where
he had fallen when the convulsions
came on him. A slight abrasion was
on his cheek where it had struck the
floor in the fall from the bed. Ply
sicians Immediately pronounced his
death as being due to epilepsy.
The funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon in the City Cemetery
whore the body was inferred. In the
absence of his pastor Rev. w. e.
Thayer, the services were conducted
by Rev. c, f. Rankin and Rev. l.. p.
MCGEE Several appropriate musical
selections We're rendered by quar-
tette composed of Messrs Chas. III
Hicks, Ed. Hicks, Jack McCravy and
r. G.. Franks. A large number Of
floral offerings We're placed over the
grave by loving hands. The pail bear
ers were Messrs Roy Simpson, Jack
Shell Frank McCravy, Rufus Arm
strong, Boy Wallace and Gary Eichel-
berger A large concourse of friends
and relatives followed the body to
its last resting place.
Mr. Nelson was % years of age and
is survived by two brothers and three

MEETING HERE OF
ENOREE PRESBYTERY
To be Held in Presbyterian Church
Beginning the 10Th and will POssi-
bly, Last Three Days.

Dly Last Ihree Days.
The meeting of Enoree Presbytery
will be held in the Presbyterian church
here this month, beginning Tuesday,
the 10Th. A large number of minis
ters and other delegates will be ex-
pected and very interesting and in
structive meeting is anticipated
On the third day of the Presbytery
conference of the deacons will be
held to discuss the different benefi-
cencies of the Presbytery. About this
conference a circular letter has been
sent out to the dilerent churches.
The letter, which is addressed to the
deacons of the church, is as follows:
Spartanburg, S. c., August, 81, 1911.
Dear Brother:
At a conference of committeeman
representing forty-siX presbyteries in
twelve synods, held at Montreal at the
end of July, the conclusion was reach
ed that it is fundamentally necessary
to bring the dioconate of our church
of the Assembly, and to emphasize the
Assembly's plan of financing the be-
neYolences.
In pursuance OF this thought CON
ference of deacons is called during the
meeting of Presbytery at Laurens, on
September 2lst., to begin at eleven
o'clock, A. NJ, and occupying as much
of the afternoon session as may be
found profitable. Prof. VIM. j. Mar
tin of Davidson, who succeeds Mr. G.
A. Rowland as chairman of Layman's
Missionary Movement of our whole
church, will be with us for this spe-
cial occasion, and also others who have
taken prominent part in church mat
ters.
The Laurens bretheren authorize
the extension of cordial invitation
to all deacons to attend, and we hope
your church will be we'll represented,
so that this first meeting may be in
spring and enthusiastic. The hours
are SO arranged that considerable
percentage of our deacons can attend
without being away from home even
one night
Send names to Col. Henry Y. Simp-
son, Laurens, stating whether or not
you will desire entertainment for the
night
Fraternally yours,
II. f. Ravenel,
Thos. III. Law,

And now. the closing words natur-

The truth here Is twofold. First:

should be sung, not only at Easter but

is put very tellingly:
