Liberal reduotlon made for large Advertisements. W. W. Ball, Proprietor. LAURENS, 8. C, April ?0, 1002. Goods Roads are absolutely necessary in this county. Bad road? and poverty striekeu people fare 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 Laurens must have. A Word to Clinton. A prominent businessman of Clinton who was here last week said that an artesian well and water works plant were being discussed in that town. This is what Clinton urgontly neods. Clin ton is the soundest and most solvent community in South Carolina without an exception, its people are full of pluok and progress and public spirit and whatever is undortaken in Clinton succeeds. Clinton has fine cotton mills, fine schools, far better streets than most South Carolina towns, good build ings and some splendid public institu tions, of which tho Thornwoll Orphan ago and Presbyterian College of South Carolina are notable oxamplos. But Clinton should have better water?not that her presont water supply is worse than that of other towns?but because any and all towns of 3,000 people have passed the point where surface wells aro safe. Greenville, undor the moun tain's shadow, with admirable natural drainage, was frequently afflicted with typhoid fevors ten or twelvo years ago. Then tho wells wore abandoned and splendid water brought from the top of Paris Mountain. From that time for ward typhoid has been a raro visitor and Groenvillo has been tho healthiest town in tho South or perhaps in the country. In this town, too, a markod doorcase in typhoid fover has taken place since the people bavo been u?lng artesian water and tho experi ence of many othor towns has been sim ilar. In scattered villages the menaco from wolls is not relatively great but in towns of sevoral thousand it is considerable. To a town like Clinton, already one of the best places for good citizens to live in that can be found on the map, a good artesian water system would bo worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. * * A Hearing and Pitching. Senator Tillman spoke at Manning Friday and completely used up Appelt. .s tho daily newspapers said, he 'ayod Appelt." It was a case of .joting a sparrow with a cannon and 1,500 people yelled and clapped their hands and snorted and reared up on their hindlegs and soomed to enjoy it. Appolt charged and Tillman counter-charged, tho name of the Deity was dragged in on various occa sions, there was talk of lies and thiev ery and swindling and rebates and nothing was proved or dis proved by anybody. Altogether it was a pleasant and edifying spectacle for people who are' pleased with that sort of thing. Senator Tillman was formerly Mr. Appelt's friend. Friday the Senator disowned Mr. Appelt and la not a great doal poorer than before. Meanwhile Mr. Appolt has a post office, which is a plenty for him, and Senator Tillman has a Senatorshlp, which is a plenty for him. And the plough-boy plows on and is paying higher taxes to day than he has paid in twonty years. * # * VTho Shan't Vote? Who shan't vote in the primary? That is a question that is causing a number of people to fidget. In The Advertiser's opinion only the worthy should be allowed to vote. Who are the worthy? Laurons county has 3,000 who are more or less fit. If any should be cast out thoy can take comfort from a tombstone inscription In one of the States: "Here lies tho body of Dick Jones? Born, 1810; dlod 18B0. He never voted In his life? Of such is the Kingdom Heaven." *% According to reports everybody in Edge field Is running for office this year except Major Jim Bacon. Edge field has two and a half to three candi dates for governor and others may hatch out any day. *.? Announcement of candidacy In The Advrrtisek is said to be half tho battle. * # ? _ ?

O. R. Wau.ack, Sec TALKING POLITICS. Candidates, State and County, and Chat About Them. Two or thrco candidates have burst their shells in tho last few days. So far the sharpest Interest centers around tho raco for the House of Representa tives and Supervisor. "How did you voto on the proposition for the legislature to meet onco in two years?" Ropresentativo Coopor was asked. "I voted for it" was tho reply. "Well, you are sound on that whoth or you are on anything cleo or not" commonted the citizen. By tho way, an ADVERTISER man heard Citizen Jo3h Ashley say that tho prosent legislative delegation from Laurons was tho best tho county has had since ho had boen a member of the HOUSO. Of course, it is possible that tho taste and judgment of Lauren9 vo tors may or may not agree with that of Josh Ashley. Mr. Jock Saxon has been talked of in connection with tho House of Repre sentatives. Reprosontativo McGowan will bo a candidate for re-election and so will Representatives Nichols and Coopor. One of the sharp issues of tho cam paign will bo tho chicken bill. There appears to be some delicacy felt by the candidates In discussing this important measure but it ought to be ventilated fully. Whether or not a ravenous old hen or rusty and knotty old rooster shall bo allowod to run at largo are mattors that should be determined. All candidates should be questioned 8carchingly on this subject. Of cour60 the record of the incumbent members is written in the journal of the house. L. J. Williams, of the. dispensary board of control, and Edgeilold man, is said to be a candidate for governor. Solicitor Thurmond of Edgeilold, (good follow he Is), is a candidate for Con gress. Wyatt Alken, W. N. Graydon, I. H. McCalla, of Abbeville; Goorge Prince and E. M . H?cker of Anderson; R. F. Smith of Pickens and W. J. Strlbling of Oconoo aro running for Congress In the Third District. G. S. Mower and C. T. Wycho of Nowberry will proba bly run. Wyatt Alkon Is a son of the Jato Congressman Alken and a cousin of Dr. H. K. Aiken. He is woll known bore and is one of the leading candi dates. W. J. Stribling is a lawyer and a son-in-law of Mrs. J . J. Norton, who was Miss Campbell of Cross Hill The outlook is that Mr. Scarborough is the only Congressman who will be re-elected without opposition, unless tho lield should bo loft clear to Mr. Johnson of this district. The gossip In these parts is that tho candidacy of both Col. Elliott and Mr. Henderson for tho Senato from the South-western part of the State will lossen tho chances of both. In this county the heaviest vote would be polled by Johnstone and Latimer if tho election wore to-morrow. It Is early. Col. Talbort, for governor, has plenty of friends here. The old soldier in fluence is friendly towards him. lie served in Co. B., of tho Hampton Le gion. People hero do not understand why Williams and J. H.Tillman as well as Talbert should all be candidates, all Edgofleld men. J. H. Til I man is a doubtful quantity yet. He may run very strong or he may get no votes at all. W. P. Stevenson of Cheraw, candi date for Attorney General, has resign ed his position as attorney for the S. A. L. Railway. V. X. Gunter is tho candldato against him. Neither can didate is very well known in this county. Col. Jack Boyd of Greenville will get a good vote In this town for Adju tant and Inspector General. A great j many people think that, other things being equal, an old Confed should have this little olllce. Col. Boyd was a "Johnnie*'. He wa9 in the city yester day and met a number of old friends. For Lieutenant Governor, Frank Gai>y b?s scores of Laurens friends. ' ~J -<.m(<iCi j a?o predicting that Jno. t ??t** Ktiuolnted Federal u. McLaurin win ? ?m u u&ascd.

Tho Output Finds a Heady Sale and is of Superior Qaulity?News & Courier's Comment. In Tue Advertiser's Cross Hill correspondence will be seen tho ac count of Mr. J. Q. Walker's broom fac tory. The Laurons correspondent of the News and Courier wrote to that paper regarding it and Tho News and Courier of Friday printed the follow ing editorial: '?An interesting short story comes from i.aureus regarding the success of a 'small industry' that has been estab li8hed there by tho enterprise of one man. It is noted by our local oorres Eondent that The News and Courier as long been advising and urging the growing of broom corn and the manu facture of brooms in the State, and the story proves that the advice was good. ??It is in brlof that Mr. J. Q. Walker invested one or two hundred dollars in broom making machinery, imported a stock of broom corn, and at onco made a good business for himself. His brooms llud a ready sale, on their merits, in tho near markets, 'are accounted far superior to the average article brought from the larger factories, and thoso who have onco used them will buy no othor.' The retail morchants havo agreed to 'take all he can mako,' ac cordingly, and he is now urging tho farmers in his neighborhood to raise broom corn and save him tho necessity of buying It at distant points and pay ing tho freight on it?an arrangement that will profit tbom, of course, as well as help him. "The point of the story is that by a little enterprise, and a very little money, Mr. Walker has established a now industry in his county that will bonoflt him and many of his neighbors every year. It is a 'small' one, in Its beginnings, it is truo, but it is capable of considerable expansion, and Its good effects will extond with its growth. "The example it affords Is easily fol lowed. There Is no reason, evidently, why wo should continue to 'import' brooms by the train load. Any county can manufacture its own supply, of a 'superior' quality, if only it contains one citizen who Is disposed to such a vonturo." "Clifton" Flour Customers. Tho customers wo want arc those who require the highest possible qual ity. Some of our best customers are of this class. Thoy have como to stay.
