BALL, Proprietor. LAUREN H, S. C, Dec. 19, 1893. The Grand Lodgo, A. P. M., of this tute arranged at their recent com munication in Charleston to purchase tho trowel used by Lafayette in 182."? in laying tho corner stone of the monu ment at Cdmdcn to Qon. DeCalb. ? it is a heavy,sliver trowel and was made for ?tho occasldn, and Ts the property of a huh- descendant of tho master of Do 'Cirrb Lodge. The trowel has been used by by the Grand Lodge since that time in the ceremonial Of laying the corner stones of great public buildings in this State. It is omlnently proper that this jewel should remain in the State where sleep the remains of De Calb, whose ashes ennoble the soil of South Carolina along with those of .lohn Laurens, another hero who died on the Held of battle. ' Before another issue of Till'. ADVER TISER reaches you the Christmas holi days are upon us. We send the kind liost greetings to every household where tho paper enters and to every reader whoso eye it meets. May "kil ling care" come near novel' a soul, and o\U and young, the little darlings, and especially the poor have smiles and hearty blessings showered upon them and the season be one that all can re vert to with joy and gladness. And now the trick at Columbia is, how to pay for the lawsuits the State has been indulging. Reform litigation and Reform legislation go hand in hand.

Tillman applies the "lash" re morselessly,.and it is pretty clear that our legislators will enjoy their turkey and cranberry sauce at homo during the holidays. At lust, at last, our reformers are about to scale salaries. But what is government for and "what are we here for" but to distribute plums? What! "Muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn." It is safe to teach agrarian ism at the South, provided thegrext land-holding classes do the preaching. Cross Hill Notes. We note that the weather is remark ably line, and in this connection we would stato that tho United States weather signal station at this place is under the management of Dr. MeSwnin and daily we are posted as to the weath er for the next 2-1 hours, and this is quite an acquisition to this place and we feel proud of the distinction. John .). McSwaill who has beim very ill for the past month is now better and we hope will soon be himself again. Mr. Tolloy Richardson, who for seven years has been in Washington Terri tory on the Pacific Slope, engaged in the stock business, is now hen; on a visit to relatives and friends, while he has brought with him some specimens of Washington stock, which no doubt will attract great attention. Mr. S. l. Turner has moved into town and we welcome him as a citizen. Mr. llendrix also has moved into .town, and with him that staunch old soldier Jus. A. Jones. We gladly wel come all to our town. We are glad to notice that after great depression tho cotton market has rebounded and is now on the up-grade. All who have not sold will be pleased at this. As Christmas is near and we may not have another opportunity. WO wish evorybody a merry Christinas. Scribe. Long is rauch. We are now in sight of another an nual mile stone in life and it makes us sad to part with the old 1893. We are sorrry to state that Mr. A. R. Rlakely, whom we reported before Ming very low with fever, is not much better. Mr. John Todd is also quite sick at this writing. Coroner and wife who were so badly bruised we are glad to say are better. ?- Ere this is in print Mr.' Young Todd and family will have lefX these parts and gone to Alabama. Most everybody is done sowing wheat and hog killing is on hand. Mi'. A. C. Bennett and family will pull up stakes after another week and leave for Greenville county. The young ladies' literary society at Oak drove academy is progressing ffnely. As the year 1894 will be the year of political and stirring times we' would Oflfor* some suggestion';. Let the preachers preach and do the poom/ all the good they can. Lot the lawyers law and keep the pooplb straight. Lot the doctors doctor and keep the people well. Let the merchants merchandise and furnish us what we need. Let the farmers farm and make a living at home. Let tho niechnnic make and furnish the people houses. Let poll* i icians politic and let t he people alone. If there are any young people that want to do courting by moonshine, who would interfere with them? And if any want the news warm, and fresh let thorn take The Advertiser: and let Bum Blinker como down on Long Branch next summer and go lisqiug. Slooum Gilson. ' Union Meeting.

C, (I Doc. 1?, 18M. ? The event of the week was the Senate debate und passage of the now dispen sary bil). When tho light opened Thursday morning it looked as if the bill was too objectionable and extreme a measure oven for "Reformers." From the remarks of Puller, Brown, of Marlon, and W. I). Evans it was freely prophesied that the bill would be amended totally out of all semblance to the form in which it wus Introduced. Evans himself, I mean the bold and naughty boy from Alken, did not up peur to hav'e his heart in it. But with the going down of the sun the spirit of remonstrance bad banished and even the Marllxiro Allianceman was forced to submit to the capture of bis long time-prohibition county by tho forces of Dispensary Alcohol. And he as well as the "prohibition" Senator from Laurons voted for the bill on its dual passage with the provision permitting the establishment of dispensaries, In or out of town, and where that BOoms proper in tho discretion of county boards of control. People who hav? seen a putent potato peeler used could have appreciated tho mannor In which Smythe, of Charleston, skinned W. D. Evans. It was when the latter was ex erting himself to have bis county left "dry and unmolested. Smythe III his I keen dissecting knife style, referred to I Evans presidency of the Alliance, his devotion to the "Special prlvolego to none and equal rights to air' motto and delicately charged him with pleading for Its denial and abandonment when ap plied lo his own county and his own people. Miller, the new Senator from Lancas ter, voted squarely against the dispen sary bill, and Brlco, of Pall'fleld who opposed it last year supported it. LiAURENS LEGISLATION. Election precinct changes are as fol lows: New, Pleasant Mound, Parsons Store, Powers, Gray* Court, Dials Church, Woodvlllo, Broworton, Tip Top. and Hopewell. Pullers' Mill is changed to Mountvlllo and Shand's Store to Langston's Church. A bill has been introduced in the House to incorporate the town of MoutltvlUo. That may mean that it will become one of tho spots favored? by the establishment of a "Reform" whiskev business: i. e. dispensary. A bill has been introduced to create a new school district under the name of the "Alleine" High School. This is In the noighborhod of Dr. .1. R. Fow ler's and its probable estublisoinont was mentioned in my letter of last week. A bill to amend the net providing for tho issue of bonds jor the Laurons City Schools is on its way to pussage. This bill permits a tax levy of a half mill extra lor one and a half mills alto gether) to pay tbe interest on the bunds. Tbe cutting of barroom |?0VU nuofroin the city bus made this neces sary. ? The Laurons delegation are at log gerheads as to the bill (Introduced by Col. Watts and not Dr. wolf, as I er roneously stated) increaing the salaries of trial justices in tho city of Laurons. In the Senate Dr. Puller amended the bill so as to cause t he salaries to remain at (100and further providing that the shet'lfY should receive only such com pensation for serving their process as had been received by constables. These amendments virtually rendered nugatory the purposes of tho bill and when it was returned to the House that body on Col. Watts' motion refused to concur. That is bow the matter now stands. A bill has boon introduced to autho rize the sale of the Male Acuih my lot in Laurons. It will bo remembered that a suggestion to this olVoct was re cently made by THE ADVERTISER. Col. Watts is pushing a bill to per mit county commissioners to rocoivo pay for 100 days in each year instead of 70 which is tbe present maximum. A lively incident occurred in the House Friday night between Col. Watts and Clti/.on Josh Ashloy. I hap pened to be present and saw it. Col. Watts behaved just as any self-respeet Ing mail would have borne himself un der the circumstances. Here is the incident as reported in the News and < 'ourier: "A bomb was exploded at the night session of the I louse to reconsider the vote on the redlstrictlng Will by Mr. Bronzeale. Mr. Moso's held that after the pnrlaimentary clincher had boon put on a measure it could not be taken up. Moreover the bill wasnot in posses sion of the House. It would not be fair to take up the bill to-night as there were a great many absentee-. "Mr. Ashley said: "Wo don't want no child's play here." "Mr. Duncan said according to a l ulling of the Speaker last year a bill could be taken up from the table. "Mr. Watts (Judgc-oloot) said that last year such a ruh- was made and oujrht to hold good. "Mi1. Ashley said that it was not so: "that tbe clincher bad not been put on it: it's not so." "Mr. Watts said: "Nothing but a coward would say such a thing. 1 never have told a falsehood and I never will do so. and the people of the State know my record, and 1 never will allow anyone to impugn my motive of truth fulness. It is not true. The facts arc as I say. "Mr. Ashley, walking towards Mr. Watts, talked about choking' any man who charged him with nutruthfulness. He was held back by the coat. . "Mr. Ashley asked the Speaker what his ruling was. and after Mr. Jones sustained Mr. Watts's view and ex plained his ruling of last year Mr. Ashley said he did not so understand it and there the matter ended."
