THE CANADIAN
THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving day is peculiarly an
American institution, but the Cana
dians have taken up the custom. With
them the date Ia usually the last Mon
day or October. possibly because their
winter comes earlier than with us.
They place the festival on Monday, in,
stead OF Thursday, on the theory that
a day taken out OF the middle Of the
week breaks up the week; also that n
does not allow time to travel to family
reunions. This year the Canadian
Thanksgiving day fell upon Monday
Oct. %.

WHAT THANKSGIVING MEANS.

1T has been said that THANKSGIVING
is the one holiday that combines re-
ligion and patriotism. Yet i'm the com.
mon observance of it there is fire.
quently very little of either. 1t is too
often reduced to feast and nothing
more.
Why should not the idea of Offering
thanks for some great national bless
Ing during each year be made more
prominent. especially i'm giving the
meaning OF the day to the children:
In every years there is some occurrence
OF this sort. or course the old idea
was to give thanks for bountiful crops
ana national prosperity. This is good.
but why not add to it thanks for Spe
cial blessings both to individuals and
to the nation?

The Remedy that Replaces CalomeI-
Causes No Destruction of Habit or
Diet.
1t is mistake to take calomel when
your liver is lazy and needs toning
up. Hundreds of people in this section
have discovered that Dodson's Liver
Tone is a thousand times better and
safer and its action is just as sure.
There are none of tho bad after-effects
of calomel to Dodson's Liver Tone and
no danger of salvation
For attacks of constipation, or bill
iOuSness one or two spoonfuls of
this mild, pleasant tasting vegetable
liquid are enough and Laurens Drug
Co. gives a personal guarantee that ev-
cry bottle Will do all that is claimed
for it, Money back in any case where
it fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 80
cents for large bottle Remember
the name because there are any num-
ber of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodson claims. Some of them have
names very similar to Dodson's Liver
Tone-and are in same color package.
These limitations are not guaranteed
and may be very harmful Go to
Laurens Drug Co. and you will surely
get the genuine.

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by VinoI.


Did you ever cough for month?
Then just think how distressing 1t
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, OF 81 Newell
Street. Brooklyn, N. Y, says: 81 had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy. Vinol, Is that my cough is gone.
1 can now get good nights rest, and
] feel much stronger in every way"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, Gods livers, aided
by the blood.making and strength
creating properties Of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, rundown system.
Try bottle OF Vinol, with the un-
derstanding that your money will
be returned IL 1t does not help you.

Held Up in Road.
About 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon p. p Ellison was returning from
Prosperity alone in his buggy when
he was accusted by two negroes. who
asked tie white man for a chew OF
tobacco. When the farmer stopped
the negroes drew their pistols. one
approaching from each side of the

man give up his cash. At the point OF
the pistol Mr. Ellison was forced to
turn over about $25, all the money
that he had in his possession. After
robbing Mr. Ellisor the negroes forced
him to leave the buggy and the two
highwaymen took possession of the
buggy and horse and drove off down
the road. The negroes drove the ami
NAL to point near Pomaria. it is

The Alarm Sounded.
Mr.. Ellison gave the alarm as soon
as possible and the officers at New
berry were notified. The citizens of
Peak were notified of the occurrence
and were asked to be on the lookout
for the negroes. About 7:3O O'Clock
an engine pulled up to the depot. and
those who We're on the watch for
the suspects noticed two negroes rid
ing on the tender. The negroes were
accosted, and it is said opened fire on
the party. j. I. Gallagher, foreman of
construction gang OF the Southern
railway, was the first to receive
shot from the negroes, a ball having
pierced his shoulder. lodging in the
neck, near the jugular Vein James e.
Enting, a farmer, received a bullet in
the left arm. When the negroes open
ed. fire on the party of citizens the
shots were returned.
Escaped to River.
One of the negroes ran toward the
river and was seen to fall to his
knees, the other ran through the
streets of Peak with his pistol in his
hand and was fired on by his pur-
suers. The negro ran for a short dis
tance, when he fell to the ground as
he attempted to cross a ditch, a pistol
ball having entered his hip, passing
through the body and came out in the
abdomen. He was lodged in the guard
house, where he was kept until 10
o'clock this morning, when he died.
Negro Denied Guilt.

{ HAGA or ENDURANCE.

The story of Scott's expedition is
doubtless to thc superficial reader as
our London correspondent observes, dull
and unintcresting in comparison with
the narrative of Amundsens dash 10 the
pole. Failure is seldom as thrilling aS
success. and the fact is that AmundSon
succeeded and Scott failed. So much Is

upon the pole. and it is with the achieve
ment of the pole that the public is chiefly
concerned The record of Arctic or
Antarctic success has always been not

Of scientific research, but the height OF
latitude attained. and the men who first
reached the poles won a distinction
which no others can ever hope 10 rival.
TO the thoughtful mind. however, the
work of Scott's expedition. so far rs it has
now been disclosed to us, is very far from
being dull or unintercsting. On the CON
trary. il is invested with much scientific
value and it Is marked with traits which
must make peculiarly strong appeal to
the appreciation of those qualities or
manhood which generally achieve sue
cess and which always deserve it. The
story Of Amundsens swift and cOmpara-
lively easy dash 10 the goal amid SIN
guarly favorable circumstances Is III
spring in It's suggestion Of brilliance,
clatiOn and success But the story OF
SCOTS grim struggle, near unto martyr
dom against combination of adverse
circumstances so persistent and elaborate
as 10 seem almost the product of studied
maevolcnCc. is no less thrilling 10 those
who Justly hold that endurance Is the
CrOwming quality" The objective non
orS are Anmndsen'S: the subjective must
be shared with Scott
For the full value to science of both
expeditions we must wait. The strong
suggestion is. however. in the very nat
urC of the cases. that SCOTS researches
covered much wider field than Amund-
sens and were longer maintained and
that their results will prove TO be more
ample In fact. the one was diStinctively

an Antarctic exploring expedition. In
! the straight dash TO the pol" and back
again there was opportunity, which
Amundsen finely improved, for much
unique scientific observation. in a quest
which did not quite reach the pole. but
which led its makers far and wide in the
regions around il. there WAS opportunity
of comparable value which Scott en-
ployed To the utmost advantage. The

The rules regarding tho issuing of

and simple. al least sufficiently so that
high courts would make no mistakes
about them. But the actions and coun-
ter actions relating TO the Hyde writ re-
veal extraordinary uncertainty even in
the minds of the judiciary.
4 respected member OF the Supreme
bench in Brooklyn issued this writ, max
inc il rcturnable 10 himself. Yet there
is such doubt about the rropriety Of his
action in the latter respect that the Ap-
pcllate Division in this county issued II
writ of prohibition. Nor Is this all the
confusion. After the Appellate Division
here had issued this writ and had a
hearing on it the justices on this bench
decided that they had no jurisdiction and
that the application for n writ of prohi-
bjtion should have been made TO the Ap-
pclatc Division in Brooklyn The law
