Young Mcn'lBusinoss Leaguo wus
hold last Tuelay. 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

tion of issuing binds to tho amount of
#20,000 for water works. Some agitation
~ of tho matter of building by the install

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 . The g lest?, numbering
ninety-live wero from Augusta, Athens,
Columbia, Charleston, Newborry. Ai'k
on, Edgeficld, Clinton and Greenwood
with not one from the city of Lau
rens; This I really could not account
for, nor can 1 yet. 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. It was the unanimous sense of
those present that Greenville should
take action at once. 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. A special
bfTort will bo made to secure tho active
jjo-opcration of tho business men of
Knoxvlllo.
' Resolutions were adopted by the
?committee pledging the association to
fight to the bitter end any attempt of

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."
