Woman's Curiosity.
"Woman's curiosity," said Mr.
Fletcher, is a "quality of the mind be
hind all human understanding.
"Yes?" said Mrs. Fletcher. "What
made you think of that?"
Then, according to the New York
Press, Mr. Fletcher gave this explana
tion of his profound and highly original
remark:
"The actions of a woman I saw down
town today," he said. "She followed
a man ten blocks just to read a placard
that was fastened on his back. She spot
ted him at Thirty-fourth street. That
was really the end of her trip, I feel sure,
from something she said to another wo
man, who was too fat to join in the
chase. But when she caught sight of
that flaming red poster tied to the
man's back, her curiosity got the bet
ter of her, and she set out after him.
"He led her quite a chase, across
town and down-town and half-way back
to Thirty-fourth street, but she never
weakened. She tagged faithfully along
in his wake, and finally she got close
enough to read that notice."
Mrs. Fletcher reflected a moment.
"What did it say?" she asked.
"It advised her to get her teeth
pulled somewhere on Sixth avenue."
Mrs. Fletcher thought again.?
"Where were you all the time she was
trying to find that out?"
"Me?" said Fletcher. "Oh. I was
following the woman. I wanted to see
if she finally caught up with that man."

CATARRHAL TROUBLES PREVALENT.
Spring Months Cause Sickncss"=Breathc
Hyotnci and Be Cured of Catarrh,
Catarrhal troubles are more common
at this season than at any other
time of the year. The sudden changes
that come during the spring months arc
productive of many cases of catarrh
that without proper treatment will be
come chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient,
and only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomei.
Simply put twenty drops in the little
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, and then breathe it for three
minutes four times a day.
No dangerous drugs or alcoholic con
coctions are taken into the system
when Hyomei is used. Breathed througb
the inhaler, the balsamic fragrance of
llyomei penetrates to the most remote
cells of the nose and throat, and thus
kills the catarrhal germs, heals the ir
ritated mucous membrane, and gives
complete and permanent cure.
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
y this remedy. J. S. Nugent, treasu
rer of the New York Life Insurance
Company writes: "Hyomei has com
pletely cured my daughter of catarrh,
from which she has been a sufferer for
years.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and as the inhaler will last
a lifetime and there is sufficient Hyo
mei for several weeks'treatment it is
the most economical catarrhal remedy
known. Extra bottles can do procured
for fifty cents. Ask The Laurens Drug
Co. to show you the strong guarantee
under which they sell Hyomei.
OASTOniA.
The (lood Samaritan.
If you will take your Bible and turn
to the Tenth Chapter of Luke and read
from the 25th ver.se through the 37th
verse you will find an interesting story
of a Jewish traveler, who was set up
on by robbers, who took from him all
he had, even his clothes, and so cruelly
wounded him that without help from
some he must surely die. Then came
a priest. "And when he saw him
passed by on the other side." And af
ter that there came one of the attend
ants in the service of the Temple. He
stopped long enough to look at the poor
man for a moment or two, yet he went
on again and did nothing. Uy and by
there came a Samaritan, who delayed
his business for the sake of the wounded
man and set to work to help him. Very
tenderly he raises him. The poor
dry wounds of the man he softens with
oil; he let the poor man ride, while he
walked; how he paid for him to be
taken care of, and even pledged his
credit for all the expenses of his ill
ness. Then the Samaritan went bis
way, and docs not seem to have thought
ho hail done anything extraordinary.
Our Lord has taught us by tins story
that everyone to whom we can render
service is the "neighbor" whom we are
to love as ourselves and that therefore
it is our duty to
do good unto all.
Now, surely we may be said to be do
ing good to everybody, when we try to
destroy, as far as wo can, some evil
thought, or habit or custom, such as
that of taking strong drink, which is
hurtful to everybody.
In our journey through life we have
to run the risk of meeting many
TERRIBLE kohukus,
Who can roh ua of more than money
or clothes, and wound us in the spirit,
where a wound is worse than in the
flesh. Every bad habit is a robber, and
the one about whom we arc thinking
iust now is the robber called drink.
Strong drink robs its victim of
money, health, happiness and his good
name; it takes away his power to think
clearly and speak truthfully and at last
it even robs him of his power to love,
and that is the very worst loss which
anybody can sustain.
There lies the poor drunkard and how
do most people think of him and speak
of him? Generally with scorn or with
anger. Some will have nothing at all
to do with him and some say that he
ought to be punished?as though his
punishment was not great enough
already. But we abstainers think that
our duly as taught us by Christ is to
HASTE TO THE RESCUE
Of the victim of drink, who very of
ten is a good man enough when not un
der its influence ami who never intended
to become a drunkard, when in igno
rance and thoughtlessness he began to
take the drink -perhaps at his father's
table. Some drunkards have been saved
from their dreadful condition, some of
them by the loving words and kindly
deeds of boys and girls, but most of
them when once fallen, rise no more.
I Nevertheless, it is our duty as Chris
tians, to try to reclaim them to the
end. But a still more important duty is
to try to
do away with drink.
My fellow Christians of every name
we should not he content to go about
carrying wine and oil, looking for the
robbed and wounded travelers. Wo
should want to clear the Jorico road of
robbers, so that our fathers, husbands,
yea everybody could pass along in
safety. How many in the dear old
county of Laurons will say amen!
Molhers I know you are sick and tired
and your heart aches and your face is
bathed in little tears many times
when your husband and boy starts to
wards Laurens.
Husbands you don't want the dispen
sary any longer. Noble young men
and fair daughters of this dear old
county, won't you say we have had
enough of this robbery, death ami ruin.
Christian men and women, Methodist.
Presbyterian, Baptist, shall we not
pray, preach and vote as we pray, and
! if we will, we will soon see our county
rid of this terrible robber, "dispen
sary. Now 1 believe we are ready to
sign a petition for an election, and to
[ vote as we pray. Fellow citizens, we
! can vote it out. Will wo do it? Who
will say Amen? God help us to do it.
Yours for Temperance and Godliness,
E. C. Watson.

Push and progress is the watch-word to
day,
Learn to labor, don't spend your time
in play.
And to speed with your labor be ever
on the go
Never mind the weather, so the wind
don't blow.
To-morrow never comes, it is always

Learn this lesson, it will help you on
the way.
Eat your breakfast early, eat home
made bread,
Supper being over?then right olf to

Sleep eight hours, then hit the floor.
Call up the boys, don't let them lay and
snore
Observe these rules and make plenty
corn,
Tote your own skillet, blow your own
horn,
Take life easy, look on the bright side,
Onward and upward, don't wait for the
tide,
Never turn back, press forward for the
prize,
Remember the low price of a big cotton
crop,
And plant more grain and make it into
slop,
If you will then, get some pigs, you'll
hit the key note,
Select the very best, not a razor back
shote,
Eat home-raised bacon ami corn batter
cake,
Molasses made at home and your own
milk shake,
Other necessaries of life can all be
made
Regardless of trusts, combines and
trade.
Everything needed for man or for
beast
Can be raised at home--most of it at
least.
Other countries raise it, why not the
South?
Raise up the subsoil, never mind a
drouth,
Nobody will suffer, if you'll just open
your mouth
And' talk up this all important ques
tion among your neighbors
Plant less cotton, raise more corn,
When this is done a brighter day will
dawn.
