very Unpopular In Native Country
New York, July Determination
of reports that Cipriano Castro has
begun revolutionary activities in

cablegram to Gen. Jose Manue. Her
nandez. leader of the National Liberal
party in Venezuela, now pcluical

dated yesterday and sent by one Of the
generals agents at Cucula. Colombia,
near Venezuelan border, read: Gas
tros followers have begun invasion.
This is what expected" said Cen.
Hernandez tonight, but | have no
further information of Castros ac-
tivities."
Gen. Hernandez as the recognized
as "El Mocho," is opposed both to
Castro and the present Gomez govern
ment and is said to be waiting opOor-
tunity to return to his native land
and lead revolution of his own party
against President Gomez. He issued
tonight the following statement:
Gen. Hernandez as the recognize ed
leader of the National Liberty party
of Venezuela has with him the back
ing Of the great majority of the coun-
try and in the present state of affairs
he can only say he is closely watch
ing events to see what can and mu st
be done at the proper time and when
due opportunity presents itself.
With reference to Gomez and Cas-
tro, both are hated and distrusted
both at home and abroad and there
fore there is no doubt that both will
be forced by public opinion to disap-
pear from the political scene. What
the country wants is not merely a
change of men, but a change in the
whole rotten system.

We believe that The Advertiser ex-
presses the sentiment OF the citizens
of Laurens when it says that the
greatest cause for rejoicing over the
outcome Of the new county election
was n feeling that even to the utter
most bounds of the county the people
still showed the old ties OF affection
and love for the county and county
seat. 1t can safely be said, we be-
lievc, that, in deciding how to vote
at this critical time. many decisions
were made on sentiment alone with
out any regard for the material uues-
tons at issue Believing this as we
do, we feel that .he citizens of the
county seat and the county as whole
have right to feel thankful that they
are so closely bound together and that
ii Will take even more than mere
monetary matters to break them

While no definite announcement has
been made since the Enoree new coun-
ty election. the advocates Of the new
county with Fountain Inn as the
county seat let IL be known some time
ago that they intended to have an
election called in case Woodruff met
defeat. We do not knew yet what
effect the overwhelming defeat Of
Woodruff has had on the Fountain
Inn people. hut we hope that they
have come to realize now before be-
ginning "A long and expensive contest
that the people of the affected terri
tories are not in favor OF any change.
The Fountain Inn people should not
allow themselves to be carried away
by he idea that the sentiment in favO:
Of the new county there caused tie
defeat of the Woodruff proposition.
While there were possibly few peo-
pie who voted with this in view, the
number was probably very small and
we believe would amount to little in
deciding the contest as to the Foun-
tain Inn new county The people OF
the old county have expressed them
selves in no uncertain terms on pro-
posed Acknowledgement and their SEN
timent seems to he overwhelmingly
against 1t. But. as we said about
Woodruff, If the people Of the upper
portion OF Laurens county want to
detach themselves from the county
seat and turn to Fountain Inn, we will
say 1t is their right to decide and we
will wish them we'll But, we 10 not
believe they want to leave us and we
hope that another election will not
be forced upon us.

WHY YOU WANT IT.

It is easy to show every one to
whom you apply for aid, that it
may mean very great deal to you.
Tell them of the prize you hope to
gain, end be sure that you fix yc1-
hopes high. The higher you aim
the higher the mark you are apt to
hit. If people know that you want
thing really worth while they
will be very willing to aid you. If
they give their help it will make
you that much more apt to realize
your wish.
HITCH YOUR WAGON TO A STAR.
No one attains anything unusual
who is not ambitious. Now it is
something unusual to secure such a
| beautiful prize as is now offered
you. What you need to assure your
success is ambition and energy.
REALIZE 1T IS ALMOST OVER.
You should realize that the con-
test is almost over and that there is
no more room for delay. The gains
in votes must be made now or never,
and every promise of all that was
made you earlier must be fulfilled
within the next few days or it will
be too late.
Urge your friends not to put you
off again. The delay consumes
YOUR time, which is worth so much
to you now, and it is probable just
as easy for them to give you the
subscription when you ask for 1t as
postpone for longer time.

AN INCESSANT COUGH.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into INV Thro.<

A severe cough is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or.
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance 1T is Of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping Of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh Sometimes
this Soes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to It. It
Is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh Of the
stomach. At any rate. the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as DOS
sible.

only did the incessant cough disap-
