LAURENS, S. C. March k, 18?*.
Senator II. K. Tillman attended tho
meot'.ng of Clemson College Trustees
during last week. Cur greatest of
great men nro now tax'd to the eye?
brows in settling the affairs of Ibis
world. Cuba and the "Maine," Lake
City, the Pension question, Hawaii an I
the money problem. The Government
is forwarding hundreds of reindeer in
to tho Klondike passes to relievo tho
gold adventurers. Appropriation of
thousands, and the Red Cross Society,
arc sont to Cuba to help out American
adventurers in tho tropical regions
Statosmen, vorlly, have their bands
full, but wo aro equal to tho emer
gency.

Tho criticism during tho lato war
upon Gen. Hampton was that ho want
ed to do all tho fighting hinisolf and
leavo littlo for his men to do. lie is an
old man now. Talking of the war pros
pect tho othor day, he said that tho
South had uot had tlmo to recuperate
from tho exhaustion of her great strug
gle for independence and should only
be called upon to defend hor coast. Ho
has but a poor opinion of Miles, the
commandant of our armies. He said:
"Ho is a big headed fool, a vain pen
oock kind of a fellow.'' was tho way
Gon. Hampton characterized him.
"Milos," ho said, "nas latoly written
a book tolling of 1 ib campaigns on tho
frontlor and bis war against tho In
dians, but there is nothing in it except
valn-glorious-pruiso for himself."
Tho State Hoard of Control met in
tholr monthly session March ikl. They
declined to taki away tho Hotel Dis
pcti8arlos. So tho gentlemanly way
faring man has his morning "nip"
while he adjusts his neck-tlo. He
touches a button and "they" do tho
rest. Only one of tho gentlemanly
liquor men was short?only 91,000.00 of
tho Statos School fund?a gentleman of
?runsou, down in Hampton county.
Tho Solicitor "was ordered to prose
cute." "Ordered," mind you. A beck
is as good as a nod.
* *
The Plutocrats don't want war.?
They own tho Kail roads, telegraphs,
tolephones, municipal bonds and na
tional socurotios, aggregating ton
thousand milb." and more. A gun
fired, and thoy would drop in value 10
per cont, (a thousand millions and
more). Therefore, the chances arc
for peace- Quakers may Hop their
wings and crow. McKinley has his or
ders. Tho "Maine" investigation will
investigate all summer. Dastard dol
lars are domiuaut.
Meetings have been requested to be
had In all the counties to denounce the
Lako City horror. We believe the
public sentiment of the State already
aroused to a healthy pitch upon the
subject. Efforts on tho part of the
State and Federal authorities are ac
tive to bring the guilty parties to jus
tice. Wo believe tho guilty parties in
serious jeopardy and would not bo sur
prised to hear of wholesale arrests.
The South condones lynching for ono
icrimo, but sho will notstroteh her con
science beyond limit.
The prohibitionists have called a
convention to assomble at Columbia on
the Mth of April to put a State tloket
In the field. Sometimes it is well,An.
be early on the Hold for -!hc fray. A
?certain old couplet..b?7wovor runs:
"The beginning of a feast,
And tho ending of a fray,
Make a full tighter
And a keen guoat "
Old Gen . Longstreet Is roady to fight
in this omorgoncy. Ho has eighty
years on his ohouldors, a young dar
ling, and an office of $5,000 per annum.
He must koop tho Spaniards at a con
venient distance. Tho old Horo has a
chauco for a rich man's fight and a
poor man's war.
Whlto, of North Carolina, tho only
colored Congressman Introduced a re
solution appropriating $1,000 for tho
i*ellef of the Baker family and Mason,
of Illinois in tho Senate a resolution
appropriating $10,000 for theBamo pur
pose.
A big gun on tho way to Honsacola
stopped over at Atlanta on Sun
day last and was viowod by thousands.
The exou80 they give that thoy had
never seen a big begun before sounds
curiously from a town thtit knows Sam
Jones.
Thoy proach that the "good" people
of Lako City had nothing to do with
the Bakor assassination. But who did
tho business and whore did thoy come
from? The "good" pooplo aro dis
charged.
Prince Albort, hoir apparent to tho
Belgium throne is en-route to tho
United Statos, on ploasuro and im
provomont bent.
The point is made that only "Colo
nels" are volunteering. -All right*,
the ranks will bo full.
As we go to press there is a rumor
that Gen. Lee was assassinated at Ha
^ . vana. If it bo true?let slip the dogs
of war?or this is a nation of poltroons
-the veriest dungio rooters.

Homo tline has elapsed since I he
readers of Tub Advertiser
eaugbt (he last'lines from this pen.
Since we wrote lust many changes
have taken placo in the many
homes Ol the readers of this paper.
Hearts have boon made glad be
cause of 11 fea Some have been sad
on account of great disappoint
ment. Kind fortune bus knocked
at many doors seeking; admittance
to those homes, where by
??chance" it has been a welcome
visitor :tt the expense of many toll
ora on (lie f.'rm, at the loom, or
any of the common avocntloua ol
lifo. The extremely low price of
cotton the past season stems tit
have paralysed every body and
evory interest that we come in
contact with in this beloved land
of ours. We believe to some t x
lent the energy of ourutllloi
the soil", has been cut <>IT :?- it
were, and our people uro seeing
the folly of our post sins of Igno
raueo and are beginning to think
for themselves and every one 86' ma
t > be acting on his own judgment.
?'All I his Is vanity" says the preach
er.
Our peopte seem to be boot on
making this a hustling little town
yet. New dwellings now deck the
streets of our town?some of which
are elegant and commodious.
Mr, H. L. Henry has completed
his new d welling and be now enjoys
the comfort of home lifo In town.
We welcome him hero und trust
his life us he goes In and out before*
its may be a blessing to us and ours
to him.
Mr. Thomas Owings and Robert
J. Stoddnrd have moved here to
make this their future dwelling
place. If ii few more such men
would come into our town w.
would have a model country town.
Miss Lizzie Owings, daughter of
Mr. Thomas Owings, of our town,
left last Mouday for Sparlanburg,
where she will atteud a Business
College, When she returns :dio
will doubtless be fitted for the
worry and trial of the book-keep
er's desk.
Not as much fertilizer has been
sold hero this year as. formerly, ae
so much of the land Is being sown
down. Whole plantations have
been sown and decidedly more pre
paration made fur corn than for
years.
We are pained to learn of tho sp
rious Illness of Mrs. Martin Sator
Held, of Dials, bho is no bolter to
day and is not expects 1 to live.
A largo and attentive congrega
tion worshipped at Dials last Sab
bath.
Mr, W.B. Aber crom bie ha* joined
tho paragoric procession. It's a
boy.
The great question that seems to
luve the people just now is the
war with Spain. Its Jtalked of
around every fireside, discussed at
every gathering ami is tho topic
of the 'lay when young people meet
who have never known the hor
rors of war. We admire President
McKinley? patience in the matter.
Doubtless he knows something of
the distinction and desolation, wo
Americans would bo subjected to
in case of war. God save us from
wnr.

A di?J or two ago a white man
walked into a store in the city
to purchase a pair ofshoes. He was
easily natlsflod with a dollar pair of
shoes, and laid on tho counter a
hill which he said was a $10 bill.
A young man who wasin the store
Stepped OUt to get the bill changed.
Ho took it to a business house
two blocks up tho street where he
was accommodated. Tho next
day It was discovored that the bill
was no good and a more sham. It
was n real $1 bill, and on each cor
ner where tho denomination is
printedi Confederate tens and Xs
were pasted skillfully over and
made the bill look like a ten.?
