' "There* 1? a significant fact In connec

or of Laurcns, which may be profitable
to other cities. Mr. Dh?l aerved in the
same capacity several 'years ago, and
spent the greater part of the town's rev
enue in street improvement. He was ac
tive in the matter of macadamizing and
cementing the pavements and contrary
to the ad vice of many dhlzons and not a
a few experts induced property owners
to pay half the cost of paving in iron t of
tbelr property around tie publio square.
These pavements have stood tho tost for
four years and the election of Mr. Dial
after bis declination is a strong endorse
ment for Portland Cement for sidewalks.

The Election.
The first municipal elootion hold in
Laurons since she dofTod hor baby
clothes and put on city airs, was held
last Tuesday. No public issues woro
involved and tho only question with tho
cltizon was, whether ?'his -man" would
got t lie votes. Lots of onthusntsm was
manifested and the friends of tho oppos
! ig candidates lingered in tho vicinity
of tho polls all day eyolng tho electors
as thoy exerolsod their votability. Thoro
was a good deal of disorder and soveral
conflicts of muscle, as well as of opinion.
Mr. Dial and Mr. PJuss aro both tnon of
high eharactor and pttalnmonts as arc
tho nine gentlemen, who woro on the
two Aldor-mon tickets
Tho following is the detallod result of
vho election:
For Mayor?N. B. Dial 205; J. J. Pluss

For Aldermen? E. M. Caino 311; L. S.

So Mr. Dial will bo tho first Mayor of
I.aureus and Messrs. Calno, Fuller,
i lud cons, Roland, Gnrrott and Coopor
will bo our city fathers. \
Tho throo first name I Aldermen were
on both tickets. Messrs. Roland and
Garrott woro on tho Dial lickot and Mr.
Cooper was on tho Pluss ticket. Mr.
Cooper's elect ion as tho only man on Iiis
tickot Is a high complimont to his per
sonal popularity.
From tho material offered it would
havo beon out of tho rango of possibility
to havo solootod other than excellent
officers and It goes without saying Mint
our municipal affairs will bo handled
with skill and ability during the next
two years.
The Dabbler's Column.
"Of making books there is no
end" but it is expansive to get
numbers of thorn together. That
is why so many people know so
little; and though ignorance bo
not a crime, it does not excite
over admiration.
Heading in largo and regular
doses Is a specific against knowing
nothing and it is a pity that it is
such a costly medicine. To be
sure, books often have rotten
spots and many are faulty to the
core, but the same Is true of ap
ples. Inhere/ore, (and we empha
size "therefore," a la Evangelist
Pearson) books and apph.-s, too, are
healthy.
Laurens people do not read
enough and something must be
done!
""^Pfc&cil.V must havo a free pub

Informed. All that Is needed is
to form an association, fit up neatly
a couplo of second floor rooms con
venient to the square, buy a wall
map, an unabridgod dictionary,
subscribe for a few leading news
papers and magazines and charge
a very small annual fee to meet
expenses. The books will come of
thomsolvcs, slowly nnd stoiulily
they will accumulate by this good
preacher and that brilliant lawyer,
and ever and occasionally a weal
thy merchant giving sometimes
one, sometimes two, and some
times many at a time.
I modestly insist that this is a
first rate suggestion and. nobody
dare say that it isn't practical. I
move that a meeting be held Fri
day night, April 21st, to organize
the association.

WHAT OUR CORRESPONDENT*
FIND TO RELATE.
Clint mi Correspondence.
Mr. D. A. Alton, who has had a
contract to build Home of the most
important trestles on tho Q. C. & N
railroad, has bought out the whole
plant of M. S. Bailey's planing
mill and moved tho machinery to
a lot on the western side of the
town, which ho recently purchased
of N. A: Green. New buildings
have been erected and new ma
chinery added at a heavy cost and
the plant> is now one of the very
beat outside of Augusta. Among
the machinery added is a splendid
planer of great capacity and a dry
ing furnace. Mi. Allen is a Vir
ginian and has brought here sove
ral gentlemen from tho Old Do
minion, whom tho citizens of Clin
ton rogard as quite an acquisition
to their town.
Thore are 1n our town more
than two hundred aad fifty white
children attending school. This
does not include the one hundred
in tho Thornwoll Orphanage.
Somo of our young men wich grow

up a graded school for the town.
The continued excess of ruin is
huving a depressing effect on not
only farmers but on all classes,
and especially on t hose whose bus
iness calls them to travel on our
highways.
It has boon said that there was a
jealous feeling existing, betweon
Laurons and Clinton, but it is of
such mild type thai the symptoms
are hard to discern. In proof, two
Laurens young ladies, Miss Belle
Wright and Miss Mario McCaslan
aro engaged in the schools of Clin
ton, tho former as music teachor in
tho Clinton Academy and tho lat
ter as art teacher in tho College,
and more recently emergency
arose that placed the editor of the
Adveutisrk in a professor's chair
of tho college for a few days.

Wo do not remember to have
seen in an experience of twenty
years so 1H tie farm work dono as is
the case this year in this section.
A few winters back, fall sowing of
oats wero so badly killed out that
a great many farmers concluded
not to risk sowing to a groat ex
tent in the fall and as a result very
few oats wero sown here in the
fall aud tho continued rains have
prevented tho sowing as yet, conse
quently u largo crop will not be
sown, us it is getting so late. We
still advocate sowing oats in the
fall, not turning tinder stubble, for
as a general rule wo don't believe
that pays, but prepare the land and
sow as though wo expected some
thing.
Messrs Outz and Chamberlain of

Editor Advertiser:
Through your columns 1 would
like to ask a few questions, simply
for information and instruction,
pertinent to the good of our com*
munity, especially of our young
men. The older men, who now
have charge in church and State,
will, in obedience to nature's inex
orable laws, in a few years, at the
farthest, retire from active life and,
in Our Father's .own good time, go
to their reward beyond death's Jor
dan. Those who are now our boys
and young men will take their
places and make our churches and
our country strong for right, or
weak and tottering to decay, be*
cause of internal corruption. Tell
me, please, what you think of
church members in good and regu
lar standing in their respective
churches, who sit at the commun
ion table and "eat and drink worth
ily," or so they profess to the
world, of the emblems of Christ's
blood, because they love Him, trust
Him, and keep His commandments,
men who are "lights to the world"
in high places, and yet, on election
days, stand beside the ballot-box
and vote drunken ncgroesl Men
who stand on the front streets in
imagined aristocratic dignity and
piety, and yet, on the back streets
say to an ignorant brother, "Tom,
I cant be known on the streets you
know how it is, old fellow, with a
man in my position. But, now,
you don't care so much, see to it
that olenty of liquor is furnished to
the niggers, and 1 will help foot
the bill. .Hunt up all the mean
things, and make up some, on the
other side and tell it to them; and,
especially now, get the fools mix
ed on the tax question; mix'em
good, Tom, every vote counts, and
the nigger vote is the thing. Work
like a man, Tom, and I will help
you on the sly, and when you want
a place a year or two from now,
why, we'll help you out. You un
derstand politic.-., Tom. Now go
it for our side, old fellow.
Tom goes into the alleys and by
ways to do his bidding, and the
Christian advertiser (God save the
mark) goes in stately dignity home,
has family prayer, forgetful of the
fact that "Thou God seest me." On
Sunday morning he goes to the
church, and with Pharisaical sanct
imony fills a prominent position in
the Sunday school, and with great
unction drops a nickel in the church
plate, as it goes arcund, "for mis
sions."
Sunday afternoon he feels like a
little stroll in the fresh air, and per
haps, I may stop for the mail, with
kid gloves and cane, starts out.
Around the corner he sees igno
rant, unsuspecting Tom, who, re
gardless of the day, is working up
"our party," gives him a sly wink
and nod of encouragement, then
must hurry home, for "there is
preaching in our church to-night
and I never miss any service, you
know." How the devil smiles over
his own!- But, alas! alas! how the
angels in pity weep over the whitcd
sepulchre! Now Messrs. Editors,
we profess to be a nation of enlight
ened Christian ? we pity the poor
heathen in his darkness, and send
missionaries to teach them the 'vay
of u utli. This is right; but what is
our moral influence over the igno
rant at our doors? What are our
churches worth to us when our
members put the cup of sin to un
calculating lips and send them home
beastly drunk? and all this for sel
fish, political aims! My country!
Oh, my country! whither art thou
drifting? Like Rome, will we not
fall, and that ere long, because of
our rottenness and black hypocrisy?

Being imp jessed wP.h the great
Injustico we are inflicting upon
ourselves as farmers by producing
a lajge surplus of cotton and there
by reducing the price below cost of
production, and seeing the una
voidable disaster and ruin that
will inevitably follow this year by
pursuing the same suicidal course,
knowing, as wo do, that a small
crop of 6,500,000 or 6,000,000 bales
will realize us more clear money
than a crop of 8,000,000 or 9,000,000
believing that a large erop this
year will reduce the price to 6 or 7
cents next fall:
Whereas, we confidently be
lieve the small crop as above sta
ted will readily bring 12 or 15 cents;
at least twice as much per lb. ns a
largo crop, giving more time aitid
a hetter opportunity to harvest 1'he
crop and put in cereals ,i& !prOpW
form and in due season. This will
onablo us to diversify and intensi
fy our system of farming All his
tory, from tho dim past up to tho
present time, has demonstrated
that diversification of farming is
tho only true and successful road
to indepency and competency.
We never can become an indepen
dent people so long as wo pursue
tho ruinous policy of making cot
ton tho absorbing crop, to the neg
lect of the various resources at our
command. To illustrate wo will
ref'u* to times during the late war
when five-sixths of tho available
whlto labor of the South was in the
war, and under tkV the disadvan
tages then existing, wo sustained
our armies on the field and our
people at home by planting less
cotton and moro of the cereals.
This was accomplished when wo
wero ostracised from tho markets
and intercourse with tho world.
Therefore, be It resolved by
Princeton Allianeo No. <J86.
I. We will plant one-third less
acreage in cotton the present yoar
than wo did4ast. and the third ta
ken from tho cotton erop be plan
ted in cereals.
If. Wo earnestly solicit co-op
eration in carrying out the above
resolution by all the powers that
are friondly to the cause of the Al
liance and desires the success of
our cause in a humane and pecun
iary points of view.
III. That in future wo will rely
more upon ourselves and tho beau
Itlluh productive God-given South
land to supply us wittyall the nee
west.
IV. That we demand of our na
tional legislators an unlimited
coinage of silver, the abrogation of
trusts and monopolies, a proper re
duction of the tariff to the indis
pensable needs of the government,
economically administered.
V. Be It also resolved that a copy
of the above resolutions be sent the
Adveb.tj.skh und Laurensville
