LAUBENS, S. C? Nov. 27, 1901. Hard Times. Nobody oan explain this periodical cry. Now and then tblsgs tighten, the purse strings tighten, and money is al leged to be scarce, and yet nobody can explain or tell the reason why. The usual remedy?economy ?- necessarily enhances the difficulty, and makes mat ters worse. When nobody buys and nobody lends of course there is paraly sis, and business is stagnant. When times get better and easier and confi dence is restored the reason is still bard to Und, tho solution difficult. This Beems to be the situation at the South at this juncture with no particular rea son to bo assigned. There is one way however to partially relieve conditions. It may not always booonvenlent to pay large debts or to pay all small debts. But things can bo kept alive and mov ing by every man paying as far as he can. A morchant having a hundred claims of a hundred dollars each if he is receiving daily ten. twenty-five and fifty per ce~nt. of them, oan keep up his bank oredit, keep his business alive, and accomodate his eustomera with credit. And so with overv Hoe of bus iness. "When the cry of bard times comes then lot overy man who can, help to relieve tho situation?it is no time to retreat to the cellar when the cry ot fire tills the air. * * Thanksgiving. Tho President and our good Gover nor MeSweoney, set apart to-morrow as a day of Thanksgiving for all our people. We all have reason to be thankful?and for a thousand thing?. Some will go to the ohurch with grateful hearts for untold blessings; Some will tenderly remember tho poor ot God's creatures and contribute if never so little towards helping them to think better of tho world; some, young, strong and hopeful) under the restraint of usoful employment, will go out to take in the (ields, tho woods and tho glorious sunshine. The Adveutibkk bespeaks for every one a day to be chalked with glowing color. **# A New Treaty. Lord Paunceforte, Minister from Great Britain to this Goverment, brought over a New Treaty, abolishing the Lytton-Bulwer treaty and giving the United States control of the pro Fiosed isthmian Canah It now looks ike tho canal might be built. How far the great Railroad lords who own and control tho trans-continental lines to the Pacllic may be able to persuade Senators, remains to be seen. Should the enterprise be carried out, In mag nitude, it will eclipse anything in the past, and set the pace for tho 20th cen tury on a mammoth scale. *** Broom Corn. A broom Factory has never been known to fail. New brooms sweep clean. Laurens could run a magnifi cent factory on a Email capital. A few hundred acres of land could supply the raw material, and ilfty men and women havo lucrative employment. This should be a day of small things, and the day of big tbiogs would follow. *** Don't Be Afraid. Our cotton market during the season has been ?rstrato und as a result our streets have had the staple from far and near. Let our buyers stiffen the back bone and hold out to the end. Wo be lieve, as sure as a gun, there is no dan ger, and that tha price will advance, as the season advances, and developes that the crop Is short. Congross nssemblos at noon next Monday. Tho Republicans have it all their own way, as tho majority Is big, Henderson, of Iowa, will be re-elected Speaker. Kiohardaon, of Tennessee, Democratic leader, will havo tho com plimentary vote of the party. This makes him leader of the Democratic skirmish line. Little will be done be fore the Hollyday recess, which will bo about the Kith of December. "Citizen" Josh Ashley, of Anderson, announces that he will next year be a candidate for the Stato Senate. He is a "Commercial Democrat," socalled, and the "oltizen" has been so interest ing a character that it is sad to feel that we.are soon to hear no more of him. #\ Our farmer friends tell us that the wheat aroa will be increased, and ono enthusiastic wheat raiser commends The Advertiser for pushing this vi tal subject. He will double his crop and tells of a neighbor who will sow fifty aores. "Allendalo" Is another new county scheme, n dipping from Barnwell and Hampton, having the Savannah river for tho Southern boundary. *?* It ic hardly necessary for The Ad vertiser to caution the "cannie" Lau rens ladies against the seductive "cherry tree" schemes. Cures Cancer, Blood Poison, Eating Sores, fleers.Costs Nothing to Try. Blood poison and deadly cancer are the worst and most deep-seat ed Idood disoaaeg on earth, yet the easiest to cure when Botanic Blood Balm is u.vmI.

Hardtimes, is the cry with every body these days, but we can console ourselves with the thought that "wo are all in the same boat.'' Miss Mittle Putman, of this place, who is teaching at Narnie comes home every Friday. You may be sure we are all glad to soo her among us. Miss Lucille White, who is now at tending school at Chioora College, vis ited her home not long since. Xmas will soon be here, don't know whether "Santa Claus" can get here though. Uope| Laureos will bo successful in I getting the Columbia Female College moved there. It would be a great thing for Laurens merohants and citizens as well as for the surrounding country. Our school here is progressing very nicely under the management of Mr. H. P. Coker. Miss May Henry is quite siok at this time; hope to see her up again soon. At last the long drouth has bjuen broken and farmers are taking ad vau nt it to sow wheat and oats. Guess "Thanksgiving" will not bo very generally observed this year, be cause most of our people do not feel very thankful over the short crops and prices of cotton. Somo of our farmen are so blue that you could almost dye ..loth In the water they wash In. No deaths, in our hoaltby litt'o town, except that of some hogs killed by the butcher. C. ?

The Most Popular School Girl und Boj. Round Trip Tickets to the Exposltlou Offered. The Advertiser has decided to have anothor voting contest, this time for tho most popular school girl and boy in tho county. Everybody remem bors the contest in the Spring for the "most popular young lady", and this contest will be conducted in tho same way. The prizes offered aro two round trip tickets to the Charleston Exposition, one for the most popular schoolgirl the other for the most popular school boy in Laurens county. The contest will last November, December and January, and It will close at 4 o'clook on Tuesday afternoon before the first issue of tho paper in February. A moro extensive explanation of the plan is given below. Send in your votes at once. At the top of column appears print ed ballots with a blank space in which the name of tho girl and boy you wish , to vote for may be written in ink or pencil. Clip these ballots and band them or send them to The Adver tiser office by mail. Any person may vote as many of there ballots as be chooses and persons living out of the county may votp, but tho girl and boy voted for must bo residents of the coun ty. Tho ballots can be saved and voted altogether or each week as it suits the voter. The Advertiser prints each week about fifty papers which are for sale ' and are not sent to sub scribers. These papers may be bought for 5 cents each now as heretofore, but no orders for [ extra papers outside of these will be received.

No one In any way con nected with Tue Advertiser will bo allowed to vote. Each week the names of the girls and boys voted for and the number of votes will be published. It will be a good idea to begin *your voting next woek. the voting contest!

WEHM AN, OF BALTIMORE, 8AY8: Baltimorr, Md., March 30, 1901. Gtntltmtn 1 ? Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now gire you ? full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began t> sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent car specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could holp me, and even that only temporarily, that the bead noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat ment. After I bad used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has fcc?n entirely restored. I thank you heartily aud beg to remain very truiy yours, P. A. wkrman, 7308. Broadway, Baltimore, Hd.

Tho safe la the post office- at Jones ville was blown opon last night and $200 in stamps and cash were takon. Tho town marshal had a light wl'h the robbers, who escaped. Tho postottlce is in the store of Williams Bros. About a month ago this store was broken opon and robbod. Night Marshal Clande Walker was about 200 yards from the store when ho heard an explosion. Ho hurried to the store and found three men whom ho tried to arrest. After a fight with pistols tho men got away, starting in tho direction of Union. Dynamite bad been used In getting tho safo opon. Three strangors, whose business was not discovered, wore seon about the town yesterday. Safo blowing ba9 become as common as chicken stealing in the up-country. Scarcoly a small town has (scaped in the last year. The impression is de cided that a gang is at work, but so far no clue has been found and no one has seen tbo robbers until last night. Safes have been blown In Pacolet, Fair Forest, Welford and Converse. Two attempts have boon made on Benson's store at Welford. A later report from Jonesvillo says the amount takon from the sa'o was $400. Tho safo was ruined. No ono was hurt in the fight between tbo watchman and the robbers.?Spartan burg Journal.
