Various matters of interest to tl> town wero discussed among them Joro' thequcstions of wa ter works, th/reduction of our present abnormal rafts of insurance and the withdrawing I our investments in for eign enterprises and concentrating thorn on homcgiterprises. It was con fidently asserW that the reduction, of our insurunctMatos by the establish ment of waterworks, would more than offset the ta-A necessary to pay tho Interest on tli Txmds. It was show moreover that Indepen dent of tho wtor works, there should bo a rcductiorin our present insurance rates which art not now fixed on any normal basis Vit arbitrarily at tho will of tho Soutwrn Tariff Association. Resolutions loolugto u remedy of this ovll wore passe?? and tho mattor re ferred to an upuUpriutc commlttoo for furtbor invustiFition und netion. It was stated tbaf'tho signatures of a majority of tho roal estato owners would soon bo lud to the petition ask ing that an elcoiion bo had on the ques tion of issuing binds to tho amount of #20,000 for water works. Some agitation ~ of tho matter of building by the install ment plan unoilpr cotton mill or some other kind of fuitory, was had.

Having a "day off' last Wednesday) your reporter drove down to Harris' for a drink out of his health-restoring Spring and a poop at his happy crowd. We found everything in full blast, elec tric lights, swimming pools, bowling alleys, dancing puvlllions, whist-part ies, Italian bands, plain or carbonated drinks of all kinds, except alcoholic (one has to take his choice between al cohol and Lithin, for the two will not go together, and invariably the latter cfioscii .

Uoth chemical an alysis and practical experience have placed these waters among the fore most of the world and here they are within a two hours ride of us and yot wo seem scarcely to know they arc there. Our friends across tho Savan nah who arc apt to take to a good thing seem to fully appreciate the mer its of our spring ?you would imagine from the numbers from Augusta that you wore in a suburban town of that pushing city: and Athens plays her a good second. Mr. Harris' latest im provement is that of connecting the Springs with Cross Hill by telephone. By-the-way, speaking of telephones, Mr. W. J. Bally who was at the springs, says he intends getting up an Ex change at Clinton, and then wo both Haid that it would bo a good idea to connect Laurens and Clinton. Wo wore glad to greet again Mr. and Mrs. .lack Brown and' Mr. Claude Garrctt our genial fellow citizens who are fo>' the timo helping tho wide awake, inimitable ''Jim Harris drive, feed, sleep, dance and entertain gen erally his health and pleasure seeking throng of visitors. Wishing that wo could bide at least a fortnight longer amid such pleasant surroundings yet yielding to the stern calls of duty, your reporter at dewy ovo filled himself, his two boys and nis two jugs with the rejuvenating beve? age and turned old Mag's head for Laurens feeling like a four year old. Waking Up Hie Knoxvlllo Railroad Scheine? Yesterday afternoon the railroad committee of the Young Men's Pro gressive Association held a meeting at the olllee of Hayriosworth A: Parker to consider tho question of the extension of the C. K. & W. railway to Knox vlllo, Tonn. There was a full atten dance of the members of the commit tee and plans wero discussed very fully.

A number of sug gestions wero presented for considera tion and stops wero taken to bring the matter to an issue both here and along tuio line into Knoxvlllo, Tho commit tee is not ready yet to make public its lllans, but tho prospects are good for prompt and elTeetive action.

Greenville News. Alan, My Country. Wo wero shocked beyond expression on reading in last week's issue of the Herald that a gentleman, a scholar, a {M>litical economist, a philosopher, a >lg-soulcd, broad-minded university man, who occupies a chair of philoso phy in one of tho broadest universities in ono of the most noted placos for cult ure In Now York State, who was trav eling over the South as a student of men and methods, who was as far from negro affiliation and political agitation asthosun is from "damned-darkness " That man was entertained by people of whom no man daro say "negro otnlia tion" or ??political agition," was called Republican emissary and said to caucus with Max Zarok and Pratt Suber ? Tho truth Is this: Prof. W B. Elkln was a Cornell University man travel ing through tho South studying tho political situation and tho working of the disponsary system as a student, previous to his doparturo abroad to study politic i and visit his parents In Ireland ; also to trace to its sou reo the lifo of Mary L. Yoargin, whoso influ ence at Cornell, ho says, was grand and Christ-liko, and to study something of her pooplo and country. And this Is his reception. Forshaino! Forshamo! Ho came to visit Miss Yeargln's wid owed mother and to help them?came to 8co Miss Yeargln's grave and gener ously contributed $5.00 to hor monu ment ; camo as a gentleman should among gentlemen, and was warned that ifanyonotook him out and whipped him while at his hotel, he'd get no pro tection. Is called an "omissary, otc , oto." Ho did not know Max Zarok from Hen Tilhnan nor Pratt Suber from Bo/. Crows. Ho is not oven an American citi/.on. Is a native-born Irishman and an English subject of good Queen Vic, and now in mid-ocean on the good ship Teutonic, hastening to an anxious paront's loving home, and may tho God of tho stormy sea givo him a ?afo passage! Tho most ludi crous, shumoful thing I over hoard of! The idea! Mon on horses, Hying at breakneck soecd all over tho country, to summon tno "Clan" to run down a little 05-pound Brltishor. bocauso ho came from tho North, and didn't fool disposed to lot his right hand know what Iiis 'oft hand was doing; on an errand of mercy, love and help: "vis iting the widow and orphan In thoir afUlotiOtt," and contributing to the help of the living and respect for tho doad. It is an insult to tho University that did so much honor to '.our Mary," an insult to hor mother: to the young women who camo with Mary's body : to the people who ontortaincd him, and a olack blot on our community. What will tiiosu uJj'yerslty people think who spent their substaneo In searching for Miss Yeargln's body and 10 soii.?i..-R- it to us, when they hear, as thoy must, of tho treatment to ono of them. Cod. when ho wrote the Ten Commandments, wrote it, "Thy stranger that is within thy gates." Alas, for the rarity of Christian charity Under the sun. if this is political resources, God de liver us from politics. One Who Entertained Him. "Although we are apt to speak of the 'writing* or the 'making' of a book, rather than of its 'building,' eacli of these is a distinct operation: and when a hook, first written, then made, is finally ready, it has boon built as truly tib a houso or ship is built. It has de manded an equal amount of careful planning, skilled labor, and close at tention to the thousand details that go to the making of a completed whole." With these words Kirk Munroo begins an exceedingly interesting and valua ble article on "Tho Building of a Book" in Harper's Round Table for August Oth. Himself a successful author of talcs of adventure, Mr. Munroo Is en abled by bis own experience to speak with confidence upon such topics as au thorship, the training that llts one for" the profession of letters, the selection of a subject for a projectod work, the preparation of the manuscript, and so on to the moment when "tho precious manuscript is put into a box and sent on to a publisher." At that point in the narration the fund of Mr. Munroe's varied experience is still further drawn upon, and we find him examining tho newly arrived manuscript from the publisher's point of viow. For the pur poses of this article of course tho book is accepted, the questions of royalty and copy right and such matters are adjusted and wo aro led onward through composing-room, press-room, and bindery, with entertaining de scriptions of tho mechanical processes that precede publication. Naturally, tho most quotablo por tions of the article aro those relating to the creative period?as whero Mr. Munroo says: ".So ovory one, except those who know, imagines book-writ ing to be so easy that most of thoso who desire to earn a livlihood without very hard work try their hands at it. The girls of brains and education, thrown upon her own resources, de cides to become an author: and, after a desperate struggle, falls because sho has no real experiences to draw from. The sea-captain who is too old to follow his .chosen profession, but must still make a living, and is brimful of exper ience and adventures, decides to be come an author. When he, too, moots with failure, he blames ovcrybody and everything except himself, and raroly discovers that the reason ho cannot be come a successful author at his timo of lifo is because ho has not been trained to tlio business, and does not know how to write."
