O., for a beautifully illustrated booklet do soriulug "A Btreet In Cairo" a feature or tho great show, . The Caunerv Is proparftg to begin the soason's operation and all Is In readiness for work. Farmers who have bushels or tomatoes and good peaches to dispose ol will find It always to their advantago to bring them to the cannory where good prices prevail. Homo or our county correspondents are not keoplng us posted as fully as we could wish. Their attraotlyo and inter esting letters aro missed by eur readers. What the Advertiser wants Ib a cor respondent from overy post office and community in tbe county who will wrlto us the news briefly and yot fully enough to glvo all tho tacts. Mr. Odoar M. Wells a graduato or tbe Dispatch office, started for Washington on Sunday to outer upon the dutlos of his new position in tbe Government Printing Offioo. That he will succeed in working himself up to a high place In that great establishment wo bavo no doubt, for he is ambitious, industrious and honest and will conscientiously do yoto himself to a thorough pnrformance of his work and will thoroughly dis charge all the obligations Implied in his undertaking.?Miltord (Pa.) DiBpatch. See Hero Quick. Do you reallzo that for very roaaona blo prloos the Advkutisbr Job Offlco will print your note and lottor heads, paras, posters, pamphlets, circulars and any othor kind of stationery in most at tractive style? Deaths. L'ttlo Gray, the one-yoar-old son or Mr. and Mrs. John Armstrong of this olty, dlod last Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Jamos Gray of Gray Court, lost a little boy last week. With those boreaved families many friends sympathize. To the People In the Country. The building of tho factory here will be an advantago to you. It will give you a bottor market for every thing you pro duce It will help the whole country. That country with many industries is moro prosperous than that one with a few. Theroforo there Is good reason for you to tako stock In tho mill out side of tho fact that suoh stock pays handsome profits. A Wedding. Dr. Clarence L. Poole and Miss Nora Davonport woro married at tbo homo of tho brldoat Llckvllle, Greenville county, last Wednesday evening. Dr. Poolo is the oldest son of Dr. J. T. Poolc, of this oity, and Is a rising young physloian. Tho Advbrtiskr with many friends and well wishers congratulates him upon winnlug a charming and worthy young lady for his bride and hopes that the happy couple may find their future life marked with continuous happiness and prosperity. The brido and groom bavo been on a visit to frionds and relatives here. Factory News. Tho subscription list to the factory movement,in stoadily growing and Col. Traynham is hard at work. Now is tbo very day and hour when all who are interested in tbo prosperity of Laurens should como forward and <io t hoir part In building up tbe town. Of course tho factory is assured but what is wanted is a big mill, tbe bigger tbo hotter and tho groatei tho good to result to tho town aud all the town's people of overy class and profession. Thorofore, let none hesitate to demon strate his faith in tho futuro and tho present of l.aureus. It should be an oasy matter lo raise a hundred thousand dollars here for an enterprise which will surely pay large dividends as woll as give us a prosperous oity. Flashes from tho Diamond. Hocond nlnos of Laurens and Spartan burg played a wildly exoltlnggame bore Friday evening and Laurens won by a score of 11 to 10. The score was olose to - wards tho fag ond and the excitement and therefore the enjoyment was in tense Arthur Hudgens caught and "Billy" Auderson pitched for the home team. Saturday Cliuton met Greenville on our diamond and was dovoured, score 17 to 2 in Oreonyillo's favor. Elkins and Sullivan were Greenville's battory, Frl erson and Hollis, Clinton's. Clinton's players aro pluoky boys and most of them play good ball but they aro only boys after all while Greenville's team is for tbo most part composed of vete rans with tho willow and leather. The Bastorn Building & Loan Association. In another column appears an expla nation or tbo "Eastern" Building and Loan Association, of Syracuse, N. Y. There aro points in the scheme or this association which, it seems to tho editor or this paper, distinguish It from othor lending concerns of the kind. Onelstbattbo borrower knows what ho is doing,!, o., that when he has paid* bis notes for 78 months, he has paid bis debt and the mortgage be has given is satisfied. Othor associations that we know of "ostlmate" tbe time when tho dobt will be paid and the borrower "goes it blind." Iu tbe second place this asso ciation contracts to grant the borrower his loan while numerous associations iuto which our people have ventured heretofore have railed in their fai r prom ises to do as much. There Is a vast dl f forenoe betwoen a legal contract and a profusion or good intentions. In tho third placo, the power and wil lingness or this Association to do what it olaims is vouched for by leading busi ness men of Darlington and other towns whose responsibility and character are well known in tbe State, Now the Advkrtisbr does not set it self up as a Bradstreel's agenoy and advitjes nobody to go into this or any association until after tljey havw given it thorough Investigation themselves. But we do not hesitate to say that there are many reasons why It should recoivo tbe attention of our business community and that an association which has oyidently done much for jMiiington might also do tbe same for Laurens. Capt. .1. It- M inter oommonced the or ganization by taking 100 shares. AMONG- VOX KANT T BIN OS Which Have- Happened In tbe Past Week, Her? are a raw Matters of lutere-t.

C What tho littigation Means to Laurena?Au Interview With Mr. N. B. Dial. Tho people or this section of the state and paiticutarlyof this oounty are deeply Interested In the reoeut litagation with regard to the Port Royal and Western Carolina and with tho viow of obtain ing some Information as to how they will be affeoted an Advbiitibku repor ter soukht an interview with Mr. N. B. Dial. Mr. Dial is ono of tho attorneys In the case and it was at his suggestion that tho fight against Receiver Comer and the Georgia Central was originally Inaugurated at tho meeting of stock holders hold in Augusta in May when tho Central stock was not allowed to be voted und Receiver Combr was forcod to secede from the meeting. It should be rememberod that Laurens has stock in the road to the amount of one huudred and fifty thousand dollars, twlco as much as any othor county. In roply to a question as to what iod to tho recent litigation against tho Cen tral, Mr. Dial said: "You know some of us wore uovor in favor of a complete consolidation of the roads composing tho "Port Royal & Wes tern Carolina'' system and wero espec ially dissatisfied with the way tbo Cen tral mortgaged them,?hence I bad often been asked by tax payers to seo If some thing could not be done to better our condition; to give tboso counties and oltles the competition which they bad bought and paid for. Thereforo in Fob ruary last 1 had a conversation with Mr. S. J. Simpson, of Spartanburg in rogard to tho interest or this part oi'the state, and we docidcd to mako tho fig .t. Wo wore elected among others to reprosent tho stock of this and Spartanburg coun ties at tbo mooting of stockholders which was held in Augusta May Dili. At that meoting tho stockboldors wero apprised of tholr rights and wore deter mined to act for the best interests of tbo parties who had built tbo road and to rofuso to sit qnlotly by and lot tbo Con tral pooplo elocta board of directors who wore in sympathy with them. In fact the Central poople bad no standing in tho meeting whatovor, did. not legally represent a singlo sharo of stock. The parties roprosonting tbo ma jority of tho logal slock olooted a board of directors who wore in full sympathy with tho people who built tbo road and who are largely interested in tbo devel opment of this part of South Carolina and of Augusta and whoso policy would not be controlled by computing lines. At this mooting a resolution was passed requesting tho President and board of directors to resist tbo foroclosuro of tbo mortgage of $2,500,000 over tbo property and to demand an accounting of the Central. Tbo board immediately organ ized and mado a wisocboico by electing Col. Dyor of Augusta, president. Tlioy also employed attomoys who at onco in torvoned tho forcclosuro suit and bad tho logal hoard and tho counties mado parties. Mr. Comer had appeared and had virtually consented to foroclosuro and you can roadlly hoo that bad a ro ceivor of tholr own chooslug boon ap pointed and tbo road sold our atock would havo been completely lost. On tbo contrary wo havo a receiver who in eminently qualified to tako caro of tho interests of all parties concerned. "Mr. Dial, are you of ibo opinion that tbo appointment of Mr, Cleveland will prove satisfactory to tbo pcoplo of Lau rens?" askod tho roportor. "Certainly,'' ho ropllod, "Mr. Cleveland's appoint ment will not only bo accoptablo to tbo pooplo of Laurens but all tbo citizens of this section of tho stato will bo delighted with it; also tbo people ot Augusta will bo much pleased because thoy as well as wo bavo causo to complain of tbo Cen tral's mismanagement," "What will bo tbo immediate effect of the appointment?" -? "Wo will have bettor scbcdulos; tho road will bo more oconomioally run, wo will havo through froights and bettor ones. Tho road will do moro business 5nd will be moro popular with tho poo ple. They wll feol that they aro patron izing their own proporty. Heretofore tho Central would not make through rates for froight coming over other roads to certain points in this torritory. Then as to economy, at present our road pays onormous interest to tho Cen tral for tho biro of locomotives, otc. and pays a good deal moro than its sharo of tho terminal facilities in Augusta. Tho Central pcoplo bavo boon awako while wo slept. That Is thoy had the stock which thoy hold In tho "Au gusta and Knoxvllle" amounting to about ?8T),000 included In tbo mortgage when ours was loft out. In addition to this, making tho road independent will afford a splendid opportunity for a road to be built through tbo mountains to Knoxvllle or Chatanooga." "What do you think will bo tho rosult of tho litigation, Mr. Dial?" "Wo Will wait and seo after wo havo had our reckoning with tho Central. No doubt tho leaso will bo broken, a largo amount of the bonds bo dcclarod Invalid and our stock will bo of value," Dispensary. Several pot it ions aro in oirculation for a dispensary hero but at last accounts a considerable number of namos woro lacking to obtain a majority of tho freo hold yoters. Tho business men on tho squaro aro for tho most part doclining to sign tho petitions. Tho Advkutisek boliovos thoy aro right. Our position on tho mat ter is this; other people may and should do as thoy please but for ourselves wo behove that tbo dlsponsary law is wrong, unwise aud inexpedient and tho advlco which wo ofibr to our pooplo Is to lot it alone. This town is ablo to tako caro of itsolf and can got along without any rov onuo from tho salo of whiskey. It is a good opportunity for us to show our in dependence. When? AVhere? Which?
