Pay Your Debts The Laurens Advertiser, like every paper that is *orth a continental, comes to the defense of Its heme city when attacked, or when it thinks it is attacked; but in the place of trying to pass off the art'icle about roads of S1r. Abercrombie appearing in this pa per a couple of weeks ago as a joke, it would be lbetter if that Influentiat journal would lend its aid In correct ing the abuses that exists in its couni ty and not try to defend them. The time has passed when buncombe and hot air will appease the ipeople-they want roads-not promises. That the roads of upper Laurens and lower Spartanburg have been dis gracefully neglected, that what was justly theirs has been withheld and spent in other sections is a fact known of all men. That the Advertiser would relieve its town of any blame in this matter is perfectly natural, Brother Lee is a1 lmial of different calibre from the high collar city editors who dic tate long win(ed editorial on national issues to their stenographers We can understand how they can feel that they are of too much impiortance to waste their brain niatt6r on getting justice done to a section that is re Stateient of the Conduitioni of the PEOPLES LOAN & EXCII.

We can flgure out how' men of such im inense mentalities cannot dAnd it in .their hearts .to busy themselves with a small natter like roads that they never travel and none of their cronies ever travel. WN can understand why 13 out of 17 of the Spartanburg coun ty road gangs are working in and around or north of the Air Line Rail road and never a word of the injustice of this division even when it has been the custom for years. But 'Brother 1ee is a man of a dif ferent patterns. lie is just a iplain out hardworking man. He even typcwrites his own editorials. And how lie can rest content with the disgraceful neglect of the roads of upper Laurens Is 1nore than we can figure out. That they have been neglected we Iwill cite Brother Lee to that stretch of road between Young's store and Huntersville. We aro reliably In formed that nothing'has been done to that part of this road laying inl Uau rens county in eight years, except by volunteer work by those living on It. A gentleman passing along this road recently had to get out ad fill up a hole before lie could pass. Other roads In the same section have been as badly neglected. These are facts, Brother *Lce, and it will be to the advantage of Lau rens to see that the upper section ot the county gets justice. In fact, the putting of the roads of this section in 1passable condition with a team with a load and for Ford will keep this sec tion In Laurons county. Otherwise there will be an annexato movement to some other county. Even 'par tanburg with its 3 gangs in the south ern part of the county and its 40 odd dollars a mile given to the townsiip commissioners might. b consbe I as an improvement over Intilng in eight years, Especiall, as the road ta;( i one dollar in the place of six. Let Laurens county pay her debts to the upper section and not keep on plunishing them because they voted against a ijts Qoulnty several year ago. Tihe truth of the matter is that tht( roads in upper liaurens and lewer Spartanburg have been neglected be cause the road authorities and of the two counties an( other sections of the counties flgured that Woodruff Was and never would be in the running again as a county seat and that the people of these sections had a)SOhlutely no way of helping themselves. Spar tanliburg seemn to be awaking to the injustice of this proposition---as evi den1ce we cite the three out of 17 of the road gangs working In Itie south ern part of the county and increase in the fund allowed the township comn missioners. Spartanbu rg Is paying the interest on the (debt die the lower por tion of the county. What is the great and gr.n l, and glorious an(] far famed county of Laurens doing for the 0peo ple of the upper section of Laurens? --Woodruff News.

While Tom Biggers, the vlflage blacksmith, tolled over the plowshare brought in by old Peter Mullins, the farmer, the owner told at length of the remarkable success he had . had with three litters of pigs he had Sold in market that day. "Now," said old Peter, "them pigs was less than eight months old; and they brought me ton cents a pound or a little above $400.- Why, Tom, only a few years ago them same pigs would have fetched me only about half as much. I tell you, Tom, the farmer is gittin' his harvest, now." By this thne Biggers had completed the sharpening of the share, and he handed it to Peter. From a well-worn purse old Peter took forth two dimes, the usual price for such a job, and dropped them into the blacksmith's hand. "Say, Peter," observed Diggers, "you'll have to come again. I charge thirty cents since the first of the year for sharpening that plow." "That's an outrage!" sputtered old Peter. "Why have you raised the price on me?" "To buy some of that high-priced pork you were just telling mo about," said Biggers, with a grin.-Philadel phia Ledger. FUNGI THAT DAMAGE CANVAS Frequently Within the Space of Three Months the Material Will Be Made Useless. Major W.

The successful operations on the braini of epilepsy pailents performed by Dr. Walter ED. Dandy of Johns ITopkins univt-rsity, and by Dr. Cur. tis Burnham have now been verified by a number of other surgeons. When a definite set of muscles are affected in the epilepsy sisis, seizures, at taeks, fits, convulsions or loss of con sclousness, as it may be called, the disense can often be traced to some fluid nwtter, scar or cyst which cov ers the section of the brain whose nerve fihers lead to the tongue or fingers.
