BALL, Proprietor. [ LAUREN 8, 8. C, Sept. 10, 1893. The your is skipping along at a blithesome rate towards the con vening of the General Assembly and already we begin to reckon in weeks the interval that must elapse. This approaching session survey ed from this distance would appear another momentous one. We fear that It mav turn out a serious mat ter but we cannot help but believe that It would be salutary for the Stato If the legislators would min gle together rather in gaiety and sport iveness and for the once avoid seething disputation. We think that tho legislators would discover that thirty days spent In harmless amusement would pay them just as well as if thoy under took the heavy burdens of law making and we suspect that the peoplo would scarcoly suffer any Immodlato pain or future depres sion. ' Poor, dear old careworn South Carolina sadly wants diversion. She Is sick for the lack of fun. It would he an easy task for tho leg islature to furnlah it in unlimited quantities. The Advertiser has a faint suspicion that an eminent states man, who if not taken too seriously Is patriotic to the core, realized that the cracking of a joke was needed when he introduced a woman's rights bill in the Senate last December. We do not mean to hint that he regarded his bill as funny but it is possible that he an ticipated a hilarious reception for it on the part of his fellow Sena tors. At any rate, it was a capital joke no matter witb what pathetic earnestness of purpose it may have been aimed and that most of tho Solons had succeeded in working themselves into such a ferment that they could not appreciate a meritorious jest is to be regretted. We should be pleased to see General Hemphill introduce a like moasure again as soon as the session begins. We should hail with joy anything that would offer the leg islature an excuse to unlimber and be silly on ground that isn't dan gerous. Of course the success of a woman's suffrage movement would not involvo disasters and its con sideration might prevent acts which would place the State in a more precarious condition than over. Resides, we should be delighted to see the ladies agitated over po litical subjects. We desire to have them arm themselves and wade into the ranks of war. The strug gles for tho past four years have been more than the sterner sex can endure. Its sternness has about departed. Time was when the piercing shriek of the calamity shrleker brought the sub-treasury man to his feet, when the war cry of the prohibitionist roused the whiskey dealer to action and the growl of protection barons made the democrat gird up his loins, but that time Is gone. Men, of all fac tions are exhausted, whipped, sick and tired. Something must be done lest a period of political de pression onsue. The key to the situation is in the hands of the Senator from Abbeville. He should make the most of it. Ladies, the cudgels aro yours. Take them up. Give us a rest. The Columbia Journal devotes a column editorial to an analysis of ??Tillman and his career," which considering that the subject is stale now and was always common-place makes interesting reading. Most of the points noted are true and they are expressed in comely En glish but the editor falls into the usual blunder of magnifying Till man into something more that ann everyday, three-for-a-quarter dem agogue. A "Refawm" paper laments that if all the vacant judgeships are filled with Tillmanites there will be no Tillmanlte lawyers left in the ranks. The "Reform" legisla ture might meet the emergency by raising the salaries of solicitors. Senator Butler has .blundered miserably. He has been legging for the wrong Ben. It would have been about as easy to have con verted Ben Tillman from Tlllman ism as Ben Perry. "Tho applause of listening sena tors to command" is not for silver orators. "Listening" senators will k all be dead by the time the debate k is over. Fth Don't be alarmed, Governor, at 10 storios about the quality of the liquor you deal in. Experts have f always agreed that there is no such thing as mean whiskey. Our, board of control may lead L&iu-ens men to a dispensary but it takes Augusta stuff to make them drink. Our "Reform" legislature can do itself some credit by. enacting a good road law, call it "county gov ernment" or anything else. The Advkrtiskr has obtained information that the Register is still published at Columbia and that it Is still pleading for an extra session of the legislature, the Job printing incident to which would pay Its publisher handsomely. ' Governor Tiliman will never be happy until he is appointed re ceiver for the United States Court. That Cleveland kid, for' a little bit of a kid, has raised a mighty fuss in the land. Tho U. 8. Senate appears to re gard the repeal bill merely as u pastime. ? i ?a In theso latter days of whiskey spies and blind tigers, the blind are sent to Heek the blind. The principal difference between a spy and a blind tiger is that a spy can't smell. Barksdale. What does all this talk about hard times and tho scarcity of money mean ? Is it ono of tboso crazes which seem to take absoluto control of mankind every once in a while? Our country is certainly undergoing the throes of a great financial depression which of course causes a great doal of ex citement. Lot tho people go to work and with Amorican wheat going abroad and European gold coming in?confidence will be re stored and then the pulses ot the great financial world will again boat normally. Miss Mattie Boyd, of Abbeville, has returned home after visiting friends and relativos here. Rov. Geo. B. Ackerman, of Wal terboro, after spending some time with his brother, Prof. L. B. Ack erman, has returned home. Albert W. Teague spent a few days with your correspondent last week. W. B. Putman and W. P.Garrett went to Glenn Springs week be fore last. Geo. Duvall has gone to Bradley to study telegraphy. Cheer up, Miss S?, you will see George again. Mr. R. H. Yeargin will move his family to Laurens soon. Wo re gret much to lose them, but our loss is Laurens' gain. Miss Mary Yeargin has closed her Hummer school at Barksdale, and wo were told the other day that Mrs. Bryson would teach that school next session. The patrons could not have secured a better or more efficient teacher than Mrs. Bryson has proved herself to be. The writer's mind reverts back with extreme pleasure to the time when he was under her tui tion?somo of tho pleusantest and most profitable moments of lite. Mr. L. W. Beedle, of Arkansas, has returned home after visiting relatives in this community. Miss Alice Morgan, of Green ville, visited M. A. Knight's family some time ago. We wonder if "On Dit" has quit hauling melons across Rabun yet. I can't blamo you, "On Dit," for there aro somo girls beyond Ra bun that are far sweeter than the most luscious melons. But don't you find the road rough ? Mr. N. L. Barksdale, who has been in bad health for somo time, was suddenly taken worse Sunday night. Fears are entertained as to his recovery. We hope that kind Providence will restore him to health. Mrs. W. H. Garrett and Miss Mary Garrett, of your city, visitod relatives here this week. The second scholastic year of Highland Home Academy will be gin Monday, Sept. 18th. The con spicuous advantages of location, superior course of study and low expenses ought to be appreciated by a discerning public. We are appreciative of the favor shown us during the past yeur ana it shall bo our constant aim and desire to merit tho good will and patronage of all. BiLly Barlow. Power Happenings. Prof. Compton is teaching a sing ing school at New Harmony. Mr. George Owings left last week for Knoxvillo, Tenn., where he will be in school for ten months. The schoolH at this place and New Harmony will close next Friday. Miss Dorroh and Mr. Blakely have dono all in their power to advance their pupils, and and both scholars and parents ought to appreciate their services. The exorcises of the school at Owings will come off next Thur.? duy; speaking in the forenoon and a lawn party at night. The public are invited to attend. Quite a wagon load of young people from this place attended the closing exercises of the Green Pond School last Friday night. Mr. W. Hunter gave a sociable one night last week in honor of his sistor, Miss Minnio Hunter, from Chester, who has been visiting him. Everybody seemed to enjoy them selves very much. Misses Bessie and Lillie Owings after a two weoks visit to Miss Delia Owings at this place re turned to their homo in Grconville Saturday. Mr. W. H. Power went to Abbe villo the 9th inst. W. II. soems to like the machine business first rate. Mr. T. A. Putman from Birming ham, Ala., is visiting his parents near Power. Capt. White has put the road in good condition from hero to Foun tain Inn. Mrs. W. W. Cook ia very low with fever at Owings. On Dit. Owingsvllle. Tho rain has at last stopped and it Is a good thing for cotton and corn as both had begun to rot. Willie Knight is quite ill at this writing, not expected to live. Mr. D. B. Werts and family of Newberry, are visiting at J. R. Owings. R. P. Milara, of Lanford, was in this Meet inn last week on business. Robert McDaniel is laying down lumber to build a house at the McDaniel Mill. Miss Thompson, of Anderson, is visiting at Mr. Y. J. Culbertson's, of the Ekom side. Quite a number from this neigh borhood attended the Baptist As sociation at Chestnut Ridge. Nearly all the fodder in this sec tion was'ruined by the recent storm. Picking cotton and sowing oats are in order now. Jim. Tribute or Hespert. Whkkeah. an all-wise Ruler lias seen fit to remove from among us our faithful ami beloved lirother, L. 1). Power, who died at his home on the 22d of August last iu tho 40th year .of his uge. Wo feel that our Order has sustained a great loss and a vacancy that will be hard to fill. He was a charter member of Power Alliance, No. GO, truo to tho Farmers' Alliance, steadfast and faithful to the demands^ upon his citizenship, always willing to deny himself to help others? and no member of our Order has mado a greater sacrifice for tho good of the Or der than he?he was an efleclionale lms band, a kind and indulgent father, ami truly a neighbor indeed.
