To those business men who have made uso of th > means which their experience, and tho exp?rience of nine-tenths <>i ali thc successful men have dictated, this has been n year of prosperity. It must bo admitted freely that tho cash trade at this place has been larger than over before. The peo ple had more money than usual, but thc chief reason was that our mer chants have been able to accommo date a larger percent, of tho Lau rens Coant ?' trade. Alter all, it is tho men who make a town. And, measured thus, Laurens is destined to a long, strong, sternly pull up ward. It i - with unfelgnc I pride wc view tho rapid -irides Laurens has been making for (he past few years. When a comparta a ls made ol thc sluggish, narrow, aimless cross roads iowa thal boro our name live years ago, with tho bright, new, sparkling little elly of Laurens ol" to-day, tho contrast is dazzling, oven to tho gtt/.e of those benighted of our citizens upon whoso bucks some traces ol' moss still lingers. Ves, Laurens i- a great place. She hau taken a new lease of life and is growing with all tho vigor good health will permit. Wo have bad no bonni, but on the contrary our growth i:.i . Leen apparently against iii" will ol' many citizens who seemed lo stifier a loss ol con Ihloucc In tho p.'a ;o. Prosperity has been fi reed upon us, but if WC road (he spirit af Ibo limos correct ly, our people have at last caught a glimpse ol' the great things that Ho within <>ur grasp, and will hence forth push forward lo them. Wc have no gigantic railroad project to b 'l ter up by tims re fen 'lng lo the past, nor is it any scheme wo arc booming which will eventually dip Into tho pockets of tax-payers. i*Ui- pleasing duty wc leave lo tho L?gislature of thc State. Hut wo de-ire that wo,citi zens of Laurens, as well as tho out side world; may ?view matters us they aro. Sometimes men arc dis couraged even m tho greatest pros pe ri ty, and here in Laurens, whore everything and everybody is astir, WO may fail lo form a correct osrtl matc of our development. The fact is, wc are doing wonders. Oui business mon, through their Board of Trade, moot together and take counsel for tho good of tho town A few genii decide wo must have a Bank, and in a few days thc Hank comes. They moot again and or tho second, and it is bore. Throe lllOH meet by chance und soo an opening for an ?rou foundry, and the next day tho ordor is given foi tb . entire plant.

Theso things como unerringly anel with remarkable facility whoa men cooperate and pull together for thc common good. Public spirit must rise ono key higher, then we may oxpoct nu enthusiast ni Nie subject of Laurens to embark in the project of a daily nows] aper, and lito In Laurens will indeed bo worth thc living.

No true journal should seek to reflet ( any views but such ns tho editor entena] hs, He alon?is re sponsible for the conduct of bis pa per, und whenever he goes out Hmong his friends or the commu nity and ??seefcs to reflect their views, tho courso Of the paper be comes unstable nod uncertain. But while we emphasize tho fact that the editorials should express the views of the editor, Irrespec tive of ilse question ns to their popularity In tho community, it is tho duty of the paper to throw its columns open to any person who may differ from the editor. Every shade and difference e>f opinion should be heard and ventilated in tho paper I, Tn several Instances Tun An VKiiTisKu bas boon forced to stem the current of public sentiment, and condemn measures whilo sure of standing with the minority. But this could not be obviated. At all tinges we cheerfully pub Uah tho sentiment, of any individ ual who brings un artldo worthy of publication, but never in our editorial columns? "Whenever ono man in any community, or overy man In every community com bined can chango tho policy of this paper 80 as to go contrary to thc convictions of the managing edi tor, then the publication will cease. TUE ADVEUTISKK gives tho honest opinions of the editor for what they are worth. If he ls wrong the peo ple see his error and act accord ingly. lt may do for the wiry poli tician and demagogue to feel the pulse of the community before ex amining bis conscience, bat not so an editor. He of all men must be independent and adhere to his con victions of rigid, or fall it.to insig nificance and contempt. TUE ADVEUTISEH hopes that the question of schools under the new act, will be allowed to die. Let death steal upon this onerous meas ure as quietly, as gently, and as peacefully as possible, but let it be a real ilea tb. Our reasons for opposing this measure have been intimated at length heretofore, but wo briefly ! repeat. Tho provisions made are inadequate to give anything like good schools. Wo now have good schools, with low tuition, but oller free tuition at any school however inferior, will destroy those that now flourish, This bill if carried out, will in ourjudg ment only injure tho oducatlonn advantages of tho town and at thc same time increase taxes. Lette drop it. The suggestion ol* the News aim Courier in regard to legalizing thc Primaries was a good one, although tho Legislature did not see lit tc adopt it. Something of the kimi must bo done We want a fair count in elections, and if tho theory that the law exorcises a restrain ing influcnco over citizens be true nothing would tend to purify thc Primaries more than the knowl edge that tampering w ith the re turns is felony.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt In our Intercourse with peopl there is a middle line between . cold and stiff manner on the on . side, and a free, don't care style o thc other. This middle line is har 1 to strike, but when we do lind it i constitutes the most attract! V . stylo of good manners. Sometime people err on tho one side an - sometimos on the other. Too niue stiffness botrnys a cold, unsociabl ' nature, tinged with haughtiness r that repels, while too much fami . iarity excites disgust by showing want of respect. Of tho two ex " tremes, familiarity is regarded n ' the most offensive. In the snore i precinct of the homo circle, th more freo and familiar we aro th better. Parents should be free an easy with their children enterin into their sports and innocent pass times, listening to their little str? ries, and assisting Hiern in carry lng out thoir amusements, an; thereby they render home nttrac five. Brothers and sisters shotlli cultivate tho utmost freedom to wards each other consistent wi tl propriety, decency and affection. Among the members Ol a house hold nothing is more un fort limit and unbecoming than a cold, re servo and cautious manner, as i (?ach ono were afraid that the! rights would be invaded or the! dignity insulted. Hut In society 1 certain reserve is always require? by good breeding and politeness Two friends, hov ever intimate am confidential, should observe a Iimi to nil prying into each other's nf fairs. Neither one should take tin liborty to inquire into tho other', little personal matters too minute ly, as lor example, to ask what price he paid for a ring, or a watch ora syit of clothes,-whether hr. bought them on credit or paid cash <fec. Neither ono should feel at lib erty to criticise the other's personal appearance, mode of pronouncing words, or t.'if fauiis of either one'? friends, or any other apparently trifling matter in which ho is not directly concerned, without prefac ing such criticism with a respect ful apology for the liborty tints taken. Such prying curiosity, al though it may bo considered allow able between Intimate friends, tends to diminish tho respect they should entertain for each other, and when nutual respect ls weak oned friendship cannot last. True friendship recognizes dignity and worth, and these cannot be trifled wlttw Every ono should rtrlve to support some dogreo of dignity. This is an Important element of character, and a protection to ono's virtue. Familiarity weakens dig nity and makes a person cheap in the eyes of his fellows. Wo al ways feel contempt for what is cheap. No man can a fib rd to give up that, the loss of which will lower his value on tho social market. One need not bo cold and stiff iii order to he dignified, nor need he be too free and familiar in order to be social and pleasant. Tho most lasting and agreeable intercourse may be kept up between persons who mutually understand that there is a certain point beyond which neither can go. There lb a certain privacy which every one should keep sacred to himself, and into which in eye but his own should be permitted to enter. When a man opens himself all out to the common gaze so that every body knows all about bim, bois re garded as public property and is rated low. familiarity cheapens him and all men despise him. NEMO. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Jan. 20th, 1888. The retirement of Mr. Lamar from the great ofllce which he has so ably and satisfactoty filled for ncariy three years, was the occa sion of many sincere expressions of regret. Especially regretful were those wdio have been associa ted with tho Southern statesmen in tho discharge of public dutios, for it is the unanimous testimony of all who have had personal con tact with him that he is one of tho most affable, generous and kind hearted of men. This feeling was manifested while the employes of thc Interior Department were thronging in hundreds to say fare well to tho Kx-Secretary. There were ninny eyes dim and sorrowful cou ntcnauces. Thine is little doubt of Mr. La mar's lina! confirmation by the Sen ate to l>e a Justice Of tho Supreme Court, although republican malig nity may postpone it for so mo lime. Tho extremists who are opposing him already realize defeat, and in their rogo have resorted to dilato ry tactic- as their only chance for manufacturing partisan capital. The nomination- of Messr -. Vilas and Dickinson for Secretary of the Interim* and Postmaster General, respectively, will doubtless be con firmed at tito first executive session of tile Senate. Political malice has been unable to raise any sort of is sue in the en >o of either. Il was lor tho purpose of reliev ing tho situation us affected by theso ponding nominations, that Mr Lamar magnanimously resign ed one office before be was assured of another. Whatever chances there were to take Ito prefered to take alone, without involving oth ers in the complication. The Post master General has refrained from making at least two important ap pointments In his Department on account of Hie impending ( bange. Mindi anxiety ls felt among the. Republican employes of tho Interi or Department because they know that a new Secretary must pr?vido a few places for his friends. If I had tho ear of Mr. Vilas 1 would give him al least one hint In this direction. There i*. a certain Re publican Chief of a division in tlii Dopnrtmcnt who has been drawing a salary of two thousand dollars si year for fifteen years, and still he ls not tired. This man's duties ari few and simple, and the place ii not in the classified service. The Congressional mill is grind ing slowly but not very finely, ul though since tho re-assembling ol Congress,moro than nine hundred new bills have been introduced Some surprise is expressed (Ital tho great state of New York is not lepresontcd on tho Ways Means Committee, an omission which ha* probably nwt occured before in tilt whole history of tho country. Tin framing of a new turill'bill, tobi presented to tho House by th h Committee, is progressing rapidly and satisfactorily, and it is beliov ed will bo ready for consideration within the next two woeks. Tho Invalid Pension Committee probably learned a valuable lessan: from its experience at the last ses sion. If so it will not again pre sent an absured bill liku that veto ed by the President, but instead. (I moasuro allowing something like tho sum of eight dollars a month ti friendless soldiers. Senator Heck, of Kentucky, whe has been for the past four years one of the staunchest Democratic leaders of the Senate, was tin; reci pient of many hearty congratula lions, this week, on his third elec tion to Hie Senate. This brawny Scotchman is the only man ever sc honored by the land of blue grass, fair women, old Bourbon and linc horses. Mr. Huck Is e-tccincd foi his abilities and liked for bis geni al nature. He is regarded as quite an authority on questions relating finance and tito tariff. There aro two factions of local Republicans in Washington, and, as heretofore,they are all torn up over thc result of tho recent prima ry meeting, whoso duty it ls to se lect two delegates to the Chicago National Convention. There is lik ely to be n contest. Give Thom A Chance! That is lo say, your lungs. Also nil your bronth I pg machinery. Very won derful machinery lt ls.

Tho article written by Thorough j Buss was n source of extrema dis- I appointment to mo, asl had prom ised myself an argument on tho science of music; but nins! tho learned gentleman is encompassed willi various dillleulties, which well-nigh overwhelm him. Ile considers "discretion tho hotter part of valour," and ignores tho sui - joct. Ile says that "Eileen Allan? lia denies that tho article was in tended fer him." I most emphati cally assert that my lil ile poem was intended for Iiis benefit, und I en deavored in a provious article to present my reason for so doing. But intentionally or otherwise per haps his brains ure too weak, to comprehend ail iden, unless stated in a simple matter of fact language. The idea, I think Intended to con vey was this, that he was guilty of my accusation, but tho mutier un expected to mc was, that Ito would so plainly acknowledge ids guilt, by replying to my little poem. Why should I endeavor to pull down bis profession? Will tho worthy gentleman inform mo what ho claims us Iiis profession ? I have recently boon informed that he ls principally a person of leisure, and Spends the golden moments of life, in doing nothing. If this bo true, I I leave tho entire field to him, and and promise not to disturb Iiis equ animity, and have no desire lo clash with his profession. I ora not informed in regard to the working of a canc-mill, but it seems a happy faculty to bo blessed with command of language, und expand my conscience as occasion requires. Vanity appears to bo an important factor, in the coniposl \ tlon oftbo nature of Thorough Bass, i and il will unconsciously assert it self, in every utterance, lie imag ines "his reputation established." Tho English language is replete with expressive words, but Web ster docs not alford me a word suf ficiently forcible, to express utter contempt, for such an assertion, ll I was foolish enough to imagine that the intelligent people of hutt j rons County, recognized such II vain, silly braggart, as an adept in ' any department of life, I would : then willingly plod along in obscu rity. But If ho wishes to investi gate the sentiment ol tho Intolli I gent class, I am willing to compare notes with him. Sime my adversary refers to tho public, I also louve tho public t? judge, if a human being, who pos sessed one ?park of truo manhood would assail tho modesty of a young lady. This beautiful world is not so de praved, as not to allow a lady ttl defend herself, and nor awn stan dard, whan her qualifications had been maligned. Why did be liol reply tomy questions? hut he carefully ev. td ed tho matter, in ' question, and simply treated tilt public as well as myself lo nnothoi 1 little display of vanity, ignorance . and timider. My time is too valu " able to be wasted io u controversy with such an inferior person, and ; one so destitute of qualities, which ' constitute n true gentleman ; boneo I merely remark if ho requires it, 1 will mention persons who will I make valid my statement, in re j gard to his attempt, to lower ni> ' standard as a teacher. I leave tlx . patrons of my school to inform ; him, if I have over neglected a sin ; gie tlety, (tither to attend to his af \ fairs, or for tiny other purpose. Bul ' A pertinacity of bis, for meddling has engaged me, in this unpleas ant controversy. As for even jiro curing license from him to teach, 1 j mendy remark that I would Uko nt: opportunity of judging some of Iiis graduates-the idea is too indi 1 crous to admit of comment, and im.? afforded me great amusement !

How kind of Iiis friends ti 1 warn him so gently of A coming ' ovil. Doubtless, discovered tin ' stato of his purturved, bewildered mind, and desired to prevent thc ' consequence, which they deemed J inevitable. His last article prove.* that ho is inadequate, for the tusk and has about exhausted his voca biliary, hence, I permit him to re ; treat. In my last arl ?clo, I referred tc 1 him, ns a "third class teacher," and 1 bestowed the sobriquet of "third ? class singing school."
