Hepeis Attack of Death.
"Five years ago two doctors told
mo I had only two years to live." This
startling statement was made by Still
man Green. Malachite. Col. "They told
me 1 would die with consumption. It
was up to me then to try the best
lung medicine and I began to use Dr.
King's New Discovery. It was well I
did. for today I am working and be
lieve I owe my life to this great throat
and lung cure that has cheated the
grave of another victim." Its folly
to suffer with coughs, colds or other
throat and lung troubles now. Take
the euro that's safest. Price 50 cents

MORNING^ NOON AND NIGHT
People nre Crowding Into J. E. Min
ter & Dro's. Store.
Occasionally an Individual or firm
rises from among the every day com
mon place way of doing things and
makes folks rub their eyes and take
quick notice. There Is a concern
right here In Laurens doing this very
thing.
.1. E. Minter & P>ro. one of the lead
ing mercantile concerns of this city Is
creating one of the biggest stirs that
has happened In mercantile circles in
a good many days, attracting people
from far and near and at the same
time staying strictly within the hounds
of conservative business methods.
Some few days ago this Arm opened
its doors on what they term a great
Piercing Arrow sale, and from that
day to this they have attracted im
mense crowds, such crowds as have
seldom been seen in any one store in
this city.
"BARGAINS" is a magic word?to
the average mortal It is a magnet that
attracts where all else falls and if
rightly applied with the necessary
amount of publicity it has and ever
will act as a mighty attraction, and
right here Is in part the success that
has been brought through the succes
sive announcements of this store?
they have BARGAINS rightly applied
with the necessary amount of publici
ty.
In talking with Mr. E. P. Minter the
question was asked; "To what spe
cial feature do you attribute this suc
cess?" His answer was interesting and
what we can remember we will give
you. Ho said: "We give no one spe
cial credit?we give them all credit?
llrst of all we believe In advertising?
and advertising liberally?what we
have for the people we want them to
know and there is no better way to
get to the people than through the
public press?we never misrepresent
In our ads?If anything we make the
offering better than we advertise it?
we never sell a dollar's worth of goods
without our guarantee goes with It?
never a sale In our store until the
customers is thoroughly satisfied?
?we have one price to all?wo treat
er's interests?of course we are In
business for profit?but never at the
expense of any customer's good will
?we have one plrec to all?we treat
all alike?this is the policy that has
made us many friends not only those
who trade with us but among many
who do not trade with us. The suc
cess of this sale lies solely through
these things?our past record you
might say."?Adv.

bad cases of eczema in my patients
