As to Obituaries.
The rule of this Office as to the pub
lication of Obituaries, has always been
that such matter in excess of ten lines
was chargeable, at the same rate as
advertising?one dollar per square,
up 106 of one inch.
We now extend the limit to twenty
linn. All obituaries exceeding this
limit must be paid for at said rale.
TO .subscribe its
A great many of THE Advkktikkk's
subscribers are in arrears, manv more
than usual. It is Impossible for the pa
per to get along unless its subscribers
pay.
During tho year we have endeavored
to give you the worth of your money.
Your county paper publishes news that
you can get in no other paper. The
big weekly editions of dally papers
published in Atlanta and other cities
that you get for a low price niako you
think that the price of your county pa
per is high. But these big weeklies do
not toll you who is on the jury in Lau
renf. They do not tell you who of your
friends are married anil who are dead,
You cannot call upon thorn to publish
the rolls of honor In your schools and
the announcements of your picnics and
clul) meetings. Even the advertise
ments In your county paper are valua
ble to you?thoy contain information
which every mau In Laurons county
frequently needs. This year is elec
tion year and vou will need a county
paper moro than usual.
A county papor cannot have a largo
circulation like tho papers that the
dallies publish and tho dallies can pub
lish weekly editions much cheaper
than wo can of course.
Wo havo boon indulgent?too much
bo for our good. Wo can indulge no
longer. On the tlrst day of March we
expoct to stop Bending the paper to
those who havo shown no disposition
to pay anything this fall Between
now and then, tho sooner tho bolter,
wo ask paymont from all in arrears.
If you can't pay all, aad will pay a
part, you will find us ready to meet
you half way and to continue sending

Now that the baseball Reason is draw

it would not be much better to go doWll
to tho ball gronn I and sit in the shade
and look at a good game of ball than to
try and kill time on the square during
the hot summer afternoons. Laurena
.has Borne good material for a ball team
rfhis season, and if the citizens of the
town will show the boy? that they ap
preciate their ollbrts wo will have some
good games during the summer. So,
when tho list comes round do your best,
and show how much public spirit you
have. A good, winning baseball team

To Commanders of Camps United

It has been called to the atten
tion of the Young Men's Business

some Confederate Veterans who
would like to attend tho annual
reunion of the South Carolina di
vision to bo hold in Charleston,
commencing April tho '27\h. 181)8,
and only could do so if during
their stay in tho city would bo pro
vided with lodgings and meals.
The Voting Men's Business Loaguo,
representing citizens of Charles
ton, extend to all such a most cor
dial welcome. But it will bo
necessary, in order that adequate
accommodations should bo provi
ded, that they should know, ut
least, approximately, how many
Hindi would he likely to como.
They can provide places to .sloop,
hods und meals, tho veterans bring

I whs glad tu s?'.? that my last
ittlo contribution did uot Hud its
way to tho waste basket. It is a
great pleasure to write and then
to read tho news from the differ*
out parts of our county and Statt;,
liut an old farmer don't lind much
time for the real enjoyment of
lifo?that is to foel himself a gen
tleman of leisure l'( ?r there is al
ways something on the farm to
ep a fellow hustling. Of course
there are some pleasures with the
toil?sometimes just enough to
enliven life and encourage us just
a little?or in other words ouougli
to oncourage us to raise a little
cotton. But I do not believe that
we ought to grumble, booause all
of ns have something to be thank
ful for and our condition could he
much worse. Life is short, SO We
we must <n> alone; doing our duty,
und making tho best of it. Hut,I
dare say that the farmers, mor
chants .and all classes will grad
ually enthuse as the approach
ing campaign draws near. The
by-ways ami high-ways w ill doubt
less be filled to over-flowing with
candidates for the many ofticos,
and the same old song (hat has
boon echoed and re-echoed i h rough
out the past ages ? "Howdy,
howdy do, how's your wife anil
how are yon" will l?e hoard at the
many gat borings. The candidates!
God l?l"-is them! They are a good
set of fellows generally and we
earnestly wish that all could he
elected. Intt it is mighty hard to
tell who the lucky man will be in
politics. We know t hat patriot' m
burns in many noble hearts of
I.aureus county and many of t hem
would make spend id officers, but
salary helps them or rather en
courages them to make good offi
cers. If it were not for the
money in these offices there would
indeed he few candidates. So we
see that it is the salary and the
patriotism mixed that makes us
such good men. But our county,
yes, dear old Laurens is the han
ner county of the State.
Kverything around our little vil
lage is calm and quiet. People
busy hauling fertilizers and heels
over head in work.
Our friend and neighbor, Mr.
Jaspor DuPro was married a few
days since. Mr. Dupro has won a
most excellent lady and we heart
ily congratulate him and gladly
welcome Mrs. Dupre to our little
village. Mi". Dupre is a most es
timable gentleman and we are
glad that helms taken this step.
God has said , "it is not good for
man t<> live alone.'' Some of the
hacholors around town will doubt
loss follow this example.
We are very much pained to
learn of the serious illness of
Mis- Mary Putts, daughter of
Rev. ?I W. Putts, formerly of
our town, now of Fountain Inn.
We sntcoroly hope [that she may
soon recover.

Tho coming century is to bo re
markable for an intense industrial
conllct between the most advanced
nations. It has already begun bo
twoon Germany and England, and
the obvious gains of the former
are ascribed olliolly to her system
of industrial education. The gov
ernment has established, and it
maintains trade schools in every
section for the. special training of
future workmen. Reports ^on the
work of thoso schools and reports
from British consuls as to the en
terprise of Gorman manufacturing
agents seeking new markets have
raised almost a passion for indus
trial training in England. \t \s
urged that in the rnattor of ma
chinery, no nation can have any
pormnuent advantage: and that
while English workmen aro su
perior to the Gorman for the mo
ment, if is booause they havo been
better paid, a condition thai can
not continue when the rivalry for
cheapness of production bee ?nies
sharper. Therefore, the tip; of
battle will turn in favor of the na
tion whose workmen have had the
Lest special training.?-Washing

Mr. A. iv. iloimos has just ro
(urned from Duo West where he
wciit to hear the Kroatost man <>f
America speak to the biggest crowd
over assembled at that place, he
said, the next President, William
Jennings Bryan. He said ho lis
tened to him for an hour und thirty
minutes, though it seems hut s
very short while, lie says Bryan
is no doubt tho finest orator he
ever heard or expects to hear and
wished that every farmer or Other
wise OOUld hear him speak. He
also said otlauH made their little
talks, to compare with his, though
not expected, as ho was the speak
er of the day. Well, we would not
object to Bryan, hut it will he
along day when Bryan in Preni
dent. William McKinley is the
President and if we havo war with
Spain wo may never hear of Wil
liam .leaning again. I expect I
would havo more respect for these
big office-holders if they would
give me Homo leg office. Knowing
that will never be Is my only ma
son, I guess. One great objection
I have to McKinley is that he
doesn't respect a Southern m ill's
feeling--. Tho Post olliees down
South could be filled by good
respectable while men, hut to
show the had feeding that exists
from the North to the South he
will place a black negro in these
offices to wait upon wdiite ladies
ami perhaps not to ho treated as
ladies should he, 1 never did hear
while Cleveland was President of
him putting >i negro in office t<
wait upon Northern white ladies,
and while the negro might have
been a good Democrat ho would
havo hau more respect for their
feelings.
Mr. ESdilor, I see every indica

not going if there i.s any other
chance. I am very willing for

Watts bus been furnishing uni
forms and guns to go upon the wa
ters and fight to their hearts con
tent for Cuba, and when it conies
that old South Carolina has to be
protected I am et your service. I
hoard an old comrade say a few
days back that ho wan itching lor
war. I (old him that I may be
itching, hut not for war, for I can
imagine Unit war is anything else
but pleasant.
