Bad roads and poverty stricken people are inseparable. Good roads double the value of lands and make farmers prosper. They should be built, they must be built, even if it require higher taxes. Permanent good roads Laurena must have. The Governorship. It's worth something, worth much, to the people that a vigorous, clear headed young farmer like ?. C. Hey ward is a candidate for governor. One may glauco at him and set it down without further inquiry that he is a man. In five minutes acquaintance one learns that he is an informed and cultivated man with such bearing that the people would bo proud of him in any company whero be might bo placed as their ropro sontativo. Whether he was a Till manlto or an Anti, we do not know, and when one meets him, the question does not seem .entirely pertinent or ne cessary?one is thinking of him as a living, active man and tho stale, fetid issues of older times do not intrude themselves. Other good men will ba in the race for Governor and TUB ADVERTISER is not now advising anybody to support Mr. Heyward. His views may be out of harmony with ours; wo shall wait and see. Col. Talbert, a lino old sol dier; Mr. Ansel and Dr. Timmerman are all discussed a* 10 of thorn will bo the better choice . .? question to bo woighed and sifted later. Governor McSweeny, who has given n great deal of satisfaction to a groat many peo ple and The Advektiskr among them, is imaginable as a candidate and a dangerous ono to competitors. Nev ertheless, It cannot be gainsayed that the coming of this young Collelon far mer breathes a life and tone into the polities of the Stato that is distinctly uplifting and strengthening. News papers are saying that Mr. Hoyward "is making a good improsslon." That Is inevitable. A modest, virile, candid, intelligent man will make a good im pression on any porson?whether that person be a bishop or a burglar. * The newspapers have been comment ing sagely on the society column in augurated by tho Charleston Post. Never before has Charleston had a "so ciety column". In those| parts it was thought unnecessary for Char leston?tho,t society in that most charming of cities was so exclusive that it could bo "handled in half a stick minion", printer's parlance. A column! Why it would peel otT any man's aristocratic hide to print his name along with a whole column of names. Now in the up country, what a friend of ours lovingly calls the "damupcountry," society people are unknown. In fact we have at least ten cotton mills to one clawhammer coat in this barbaric region. ?#* The ADVERTISER has received bio graphical sketches of numerous candi dates for State officers, some threo or four of which may be of news value after the primary. Unfortunately for tho President, some of the views ho tactfully express ed in Charleston had already been hopelessly MoLaurinized in South Car olina. ?** It is said that Mr. Roosevelt who has killed hundreds of Mountain lions In their dens would not tackle a Charles ton bliud tiger.

We have visited the County Home for the poor and found tho same satisfactorily kopt. We find that two of the houses leak and recommend the County Supervisor to have them re paired at once. We further find that the inmates stand in urgent need of more houso room and therefore recom mend that two double houses be built this summer. In our judgement too much of the land has been cleared nnd we therefore recommend that no further clearing bo made except for necessary fuel. III. Wo have appointed committees charged with the duty of investigating and inspecting the County oflicos, the books of all County officers, the suffi ciency of their bonds and condition of tho County Jail, which committees will do their work by tho next term of Court.

On Saturday the body was brought here on the midday train and Interred in tho city cemetery by the sido of hor late husbadd, in tho pre sence of a large number of friends and relativep.

B. Dial, J. D. Watts, O. W. Tune, T. E. Todd, L. W. Slmklns and W. W. Ball. Mrs. Simpson was 73 years of age. She was the only child of tho late Mr. and Mrs. Lucy Young, her father hav ing been ono of the most distinguished lawyers and citizens of the State. She and Mr. Simpson were married in 18(7 and the lives of the two were spent hero in Laurens until Judgo Simpson succeeded General Wado Hampton as governor of theJState upon tho latter's election to the United States Senate, tho former having been chosen Lieu tenant Governor tn 1876 and again In 1878.

Although the evening of tho lives of nolther of the pair could bo spent In Laurens, Laurens claimed them always as her own people and It is appropriate that thoy rest with thoir fathers at home. The children of Mrs. Simpson have in tho loss of thoir beloved mother tho sympathy of all our people.

Doafness Is caused by an inllamod condition of the mucous lin ing of tho Eustaehlan Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumb ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Doafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can bo taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ton are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condidltou of the mucous surfaces.

The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Campbell has been very sick for some time. Messrs John R. and J. Harris Curry attended court last week. Mr. Zeb Vance of Chandler, and Mr. Walter Mahon of Rabun, were calling on this side Sunday evening . Your correspondent had the pleasuro of spending a few pleasant hours with Uncle Franklin Curry not a great while since, and he gave an Interesting story of Dials Church, which perhaps would interest some of the readers of Tun Advertiser. Dials Church is situated about three miles West of the little town of Gray court. It was supposed to have been organized about one hundred and ten years ago by Lev! Gareeon who lived in Anderson County. It was organized with eleven white members and one black ono, named Easter, who belonged to Martin Dial. They first held ser vices in Martin Dial's little log cabin ami.then a log-house was built for a church. It is eaid that a good sized dog could have crawled between the logs. Tho floor was made of punch ings, the seats were of slabs, and the pulpit was of boa ids. Martin Dial and Gideon Thompson held class meetings every Sunday afternoon, and they were the happiest people who lived in those days. The church was very small un to 1840, and they carried on a revival meeting that year and one hundred and thirty members ware added to the church In thirteen day*. Later on, the ohuroh began to grow and-they thought it was expedient to build a larger one, so the log cabin was takon down and a frame house built, and we now have as nicely arranged a country church as you will lind mos*, anywhere. Dials has something in the neighbor hood of 800 members and everything li getting along nicely under the man agement of Rev. J. K. McCain, who is its pastor. Bach. CROSS HILL DOTS.
