HOME AFFAIRS.
* THE ItECOKD OF LAU KENS UP TO
DATE, AUO. 0.
On Friday night last about 11:30
o'clock, tho largo barn aud stables of
Mr. A. II. Martin, about four milos
from tho city, woro consumed by fire,
b'even hoad of uiuIoh and horses and &
cow bolonging to Mr. Martin and two
horses belonging to Mr. Mnhon, a vis
itor from Nowborry, also perlshod in
tho names, besides a large quantity of
fodder and other rough food. Tho
family had rotirod, and witon aroused
by the fire, it was too late to savo any
thing. Mr. Martin, in attempting to
rescue tho stock, was sovoroly though
not dangerously burnt. There was no
Insurance at all ovor tho property.
Tho origin of tho flro Is supposed to be
incendiary- On the samo spot, two
yoat'8 ago, Mr. Martiu lost a barn by
tire.
It is said that tho cries of tho anim
als In their agony woro piteous.
Mr. Martin has tho sympathy of tho
wholo community in this his second
mlsfortuno of tho kind; and it isdooply
regretted that Mr. Muhon's pleasant
sojourn with us should end so disas
trously.
A few days ago a young negro named
Sullivan, from Laurons County, was
Kassing Andy Anderson's, colored, near
taddox Mills, and espied a suit of
clothes hanging on tho garden. Tno
tomptation was too groat for, him, and
boing sadly In need of woaring apparel,
his nimblo lingers woro brought In
contact with tho suit and unfortunately
tor him it stuck to them. In a short
whilo tho Owner missed tho goods, and
remembering that this gentleman of
color had passed only a fow minutes
boforo,ho started in pursuit of him and
soon overtook him and brought him
back to tho mill, where several had
congregated. After boing questioned
for somo tlmo ho admitted having tho
goods, and rather than go to jail, ho
choso to tako twenty-five lashes, which
woro administorod, after which ho took
his lllght for parts unknown, a wiser
mortal from his sad exporienco.?

The salvation of South Carolina,
from a commercial stand point, wo
honestly boliovo will be brought about
whon our people keep more of their
money within tho State and send less
of it away to purchaso articles that
can and should bo produced at home.
As proof of the fact wc can make some
thing besides raw cotton in South Car
linn, our friends Davis & Hoper are
soiling socks made in Cheraw and find
them much the best goods for the
money they can buy anywhere. The

by the Darlington Tobacco Company.
Mr. Durch tho proprietor of this fac
tory In conversation with us the other
day said ho saw in our county tho finest
tobacco lands between hero and Iiis
old home, Durham, N.C. He also said
that last year there were farmers In
Darlington county, who cleared 100 and
125 dollars on tabacco. What Darling
ton has already done Laurcns can do
and wo suggest tho subject of tabacco
raising to our farmers for their serious
consideration. There should be concert
of action if success is to be attained.
Wo learn that Prof. W. P. Culbcrt

not, in our opinion, have made a wiser

perienced teacher and has built up tho
school at that place in tho last fow
years wonderfully.--Chronicle (Honca

Leaving Laurous at 1:30 on Thurs
day, he was comfortably delivered at
this sparkling resort by 4 p.m., without
a jostle. A stay at Mecca of thirty mln
utos, with pleasant companions, and
tho train over tho new Glenn Springs
Road, some six miles, puts you down
in tho little village whoro bubbles tho
famous fountain of hoalth and etornai
youth. Four hundred yoars ago and
our Spanish cousins were badly up
on geography, and this 's tho bubbling
spring that Ponce Do Leqn, that ad
vonturous Don, discovered, and which
geographlsts and photographists in
later times havo so Ignorantly located
In FW-lda u,;'1 other inhospitable jin

make tho correction, giving tho bravo,
manly and lovablo readers of Thk Au
vkktiskk tho boneflt of the discovery.
Como over for a short stay and bo con

proportions, everything bright as a

lightful. You can eat and you can
sloop, and slcop and eat and bo happy,
and havo tho morning papers and know
all that is going on in tho world, but
you will be happlor without that
knowledge. When ono is away from
home and pays his schrc, it is delight
ful to havo tho finest follows In the
groat big world conjuring for his com
fort and oaso, and this way is tho way
of tho proprietors of this havon of rest.
Tho flotol Is full to overflowing with
about 100 of tho real, plain, old-fash
ioned Southern 100, packed liko sar
dines and as cosy and happy. A great
many pretty Carolina maids uro here,
and remembering that an old, worn
out octogenarian wont and lived and
breathed tho atmosphere of a collogo
for girls and was rostorod to youth, let
all tho lamo and halt and decrepid and
hypocondriac como over and ho will
daneo on new logs for another hundred
years. Prosaically speaking, the com
pany is composed of plain, honost, un
assuming Southern mon and women
and that is saying onough to establish
that thoy aro having a pleasant asso

swell or other dudo of that ilk in the

are only sorry that tho subject rises up
so often to worry us when all should be

I would request all tho real estate
owners to pause and think before sign
ing a petition to increaso your taxes.
Remember that if a majority of real es
tate owners order the election, cho vot
ers many of whom uro notjfreo holders,
will certainly vote for tho additional
levy for it means show and employmont
without contribution to tho tax.
It scorns to tho writer that it
would be best first to prepare the way
for thoso things by establishing thoso
substantial improvements to draw and
support a population such as factories
and good public schools rather than
improvements that merely dazzle the
oyo and constitute nothing towards
supporting a population.

To The Public:
In 1880 a few farmers around Fair

At our last annual oxhibition (and it

It did not seem a yoar since the last
cbartnlng children's day at Rocky

patient for tho day to como and at last

sessed of a reckless spirit of defiance
wo arose early and were soon speed

hoarts.
Arriving 'quite early at tho Mecca of
our pilgrimage, wo found a largo crowd
already ussoinbled in tho beautifully
decorated church, whilst numbers of
mon stood around tho doors and dis
cussed that never failing thomo of in
terest '"the weathor." Back in tho
wolcomo shado wore tethered splendid
mules and horses that told more elo
quently than words of tho successful
farmer und of the Christian who Is
"merciful to his beast." Hooky Springs
may well boast of her bright and hand
some boys and girls, with them, to try
is to succeed.
Mrs. Bell had trainee them for this
occasion and it was an entire success
The Basket offering, Missionary plea)
Temperance Band, who bore abovo
them a banner with the national mot
to, "For God and Home and Native
Land,"?were all very beautifully ren
dered, besides many other recitations
and sweet songs. Then came that
"Hour of all hour?, incsst bless'd upon
earth, blessed hour of our dinners" of
which Owen Meredith says:?
"Tho land of his birth;
The face of his first love; the bills that
he owes:
Tho twaddle of friends and the venom
of foes:
Tho sermon he heard, when to church
he last wont;
The money ho borrowed, the money he
spent;?
All of these things, a man I believe,
may forget,
And not bu tho worse for forgetting:
but yet
Never, oh! never! earth's luckiest sin
nor
Hath unpunished forgotten the hour of
of his dinner."
Rocky Springs folks havo too much
good sense to forget about dinner and
I am glad of it Again as of yore the
long tables under the canopy of grand
old oaks, groaned beneath their bur
dons of good things. Ah! me! I can
shut my eyes and see those good things
again, but alas! it is fancy only. The
good4>ooplo dispensed hospitality most
beautifully and bountifully and the
poor folks from town fared sump
tuously for one day at least, whilst
tho happy birds in the dark
green boughs above warbled a
merry roundelay in anticipation of the
least that would be left on the ground
for them. Then a big disli of Ice cream
and a glass of sparkling lemonade - can
you wonder just here our record

by their talented and much loved pas
tor Dr. Bean wt - very line, we are
sure of that from having enjoyed lis
tening to him previously. The speech
by W. L. Gray ("Sawney" as Mr. Oli
ver Templeton called him) was pood
too, we feel sure, but after that dinner
who could do anything else but speak?
After this address all united hi singr
ing:
"God bo with you, 'till WO meet, again.
When life's perils thick confound you.
Put his arms unfailing 'round you.
God bo with youj 'till we moot again,"
With this swoot benediction linger

Conforene. As a church conference, it
was a decided success, and socially tho
Conference ruptured the wholo town ;
und tho town, by hospitulity and atten
tion, captured the Conference. It was
really a mutual admiration meeting:
ovorybody was pleased and good humor
WOSeverywhere. Harris Spring receiv
ed a large share of attention, and tho
proprietor of the Spring added largely
to his fame by his kindness and atten
tion to tho Conference. Tho meeting of
tho District Conference will be a bright
spot in the history of Cross Hill.
It gives us pain to notice tho Bovoro
alii lotion of oar friend Luther Wells
during tho past week. The destroyer
entered his homo and tarried oil" two
lovely children (twins) about eig^ht
months of age. We give the family
our hoartfelt sympathy.
Our town is full of visitors and all
seem to be in full enjoyment of the re
laxation and relief following on the la
bors of making the crop.
Hain is very much needed at this
time.
The primary election is over and a
very light vote at this precinct, but
about the same as all over the State
from what I can learn. The people
tako very little interest in the matter,
and the managers of tho movement
have it all in their own hands and can
put on tho people whatever they please
and the people have no redress, as the
constitution will not be sent back to
the peoplo for ratification. There Is a
story told of a Baptist minister who
was asked, in 1865. what he thought of
tho condition of tho country, lie re
plied: "We are in a bad fix; yes, we
aro in a terrible lix: the fact of the
business is, we are in a h?1 of a fix."
It is said of Watson,'of Georgia, that
after some of his political somersaults
that he got lost, and turning to a friend
asked, "where are we at?"
The ancients had a proverb to this
effect, "whoever the Gods would des
troy they tirst make mad," or lunatic.
Our hand is in the lion's mouth, and
we must get it out as easy us we can.
L'-t us watch and wait.

"Bleat is the spot where Christians

And sweet the strains which angels

O why should we in anguish weep?
They are not lost but gono before ;
Secure from every mortal care,
By sin and sorrow vexed no more?
Eternal happiness they share
Who arc not lost but gono before."

The Hand Minstrel Entertainment?
The Lain ens Brass Band Dra
matic Company will give an enter
tainment in the Opera House on
Tuesday evening, August 6lh, con
sisting of some very laughable se
lections, gags, etc., and everything
of the kind belonging to a negro
minstrel. The boys arc hard at
work practicing, and propose to
give an entertainment surpassing
anything of the kind ever seen in
Laurens. The selections are full of
fun, and contain nothing that will
of)end the taste of the most fastid
ious. The proceeds of the minstrel
are to be applied toward the pay
ment of the band instruments, and
as our citizens have been so very
kind in assisting the boys so far,
I hey feel assured that they will
give them a full house. The boys
intend to give full value for what
is received.
The assistance ol some of our
little girls hi disposing of tickets is
requested, and any who will assist
will please make application not
later thin Tuesday, and make re
turn ol tickets sol on afternoon of I
entertainment. To the young Miss
disposing of tho largest number of
tickets will be given $1.00 in gold.
Let our citizens turn out in full
force and give the minstrels (all
home talent) a rousing reception.
