Liberal roduotlon made for largo Advertisements. W. W. BALL, Proprietor. LAU11ENS, S. Go May 14, 1002. Goods Roads arc absolutely necessary in this county. Ifcul roads and poverty stricken people are inseparable, Good roads double the value of lands) und make farmers prosper. They should be built, they-must be built, even if it require higher tuxes. Permanent good roads Lnurens must have. Tho Dispensary An Issue. The Edgofiold Chronicle says that Ii. J. Williams was at thoEdgofleld Coun ty Convention and that ho Is a candi dato for Governor. Mr. Williams is Chairman of tho Stato Dispoosary Board of Control. His candidacy will forco the Dispensary Into tho cam-] palgn. With Col. Talbort and Col. Tillman of Edgofield in the race, it is certain that tho fighting will be forced on Williams. The State Board of con trol has already been tho object of se vere criticisms. It will be bombarded all summer. Ool. Talbert Is, wo con jecture, a dispensary man. Col. Till man may bo. If the management of tho Dispensary has any weak joints they will be exposed with Williams a candidate. Nothing better for the Dis pensary could happen than to havo its affairs ventilated. Opposition has al ways helped it. If those who hated It had not watched it so vigilantly, it might havo rotted out long since. If the Dispensary has friends they will soe that its administration is a live Is sue in tho race for Govoroor. It is the policy of some of those who hate the Dispensary to let It alone, believing that cancerous growths aro enlarging within it that will sooner or later end its existonce. *?* Tho Clinton Chronicle, we think, is mistaken in assorting that "thoro was an effort to put Jim Tillman to the front in tho County Convention." Judge O. G. Thompson alluded to Col. Tilltnan's withdrawal of an Invitation to Mr. Fvoosovelt and endorsed it but that was not necessarily an endorse ment of Col. Tillman for Governor. Judgo Thompson may favor Col. Till man or may not but we do not believe that ho intended to ?tarta boom in the Convention for Tillman, Hey ward, Tal bert, Williams or any other man. *** Tho Laurons rosolutions endorsed tho Democratic course in Congress of Senator Tillman and his colleagues In the lower house. One of those col leagues has always been a pronounced and consistent gold bug; another lies been accused of being slightly affected with "Commercial Democracy" and Senator Tillman himself is alleged to havo high tariff tendencies similar to McLaurin's. Democrats sometimes en dorse more than their stomachs will hold. *** Somo days ago a correspondent sent to a newspaper copies of letters from a prominent Democratic odltor written over 30 yenrs ago indicating that he was a Republican. Exactly what good is to be accomplished by ungenerously digging up ill-smelling old storlos The ADVERTISER cannot understand. We have all been inconsistent and wo havo all made mistakes, lots of them. More over, some of us are unrepentant. .*? In the cold sober judgement of The Advertiser, tho Edgefleld Chronicle is tho wickedest, brightest and most charming newspaper published under Heaven. Each week it serves its rea dors with punch of tho milk of human Kindness spiced with the most original sin. In Major Bacon Edgefield has a man of the rarest talent and humor that ought to havo made him famous. V American soldiers and particularly ofheers who behaved brutally towards the Filipinos should be handled severe ly and the American people should support tho American Army patrioti cally as long as the war continues. We have no faith in the politics that carps and cavils at the Amorican army and no patience with brutes who disgrace that army's uniform, *** Clarendon has little to be proud of in defeating Mr. Appel t for the State con vention. Clarondon county should kick itself for at least flvo years for havlug made a groat man of him for the last ten. *** Mr. McLaurin's term, in the Senate, ends next inarch. But ho has bogun, meanwhile, to servo out a sentence, of another kind. V The County Conventions unanimous ly neglected to instruot the delegates with rogard to tho chicken bill. De* mocraey Is in imminent poril. ?#* Admiral Sampson, a good sailor and a good fighter, is dead from wounds he did not receive In the battle of San tiago. %? Fessnndon of Connoticutt said to Manley of Maine: "Joe, the Almighty hates a quitter." Stand up Mr. Mc Laurin! Guilty or not guilty? ? ?

The Fight on Drumtnoud. Supervisor Druunnond und the Coun ty Commissioners are under no obliga tions whatever to udvertdse in Thk ad vertiser. The advertiser and other newspapers have space to sell precisely as a grocer has Hour to sell. The Supervisor and Commissioners can buy from one or two or ull as they please. No newspaper need print ad vertising for less than it chooses. It puts its own price on its space, quite as the merchant docs on bis wares. Now we understand that one newspaper ac cepted the offer to handle county adver tising at One-sixth the legal rate, which it did of its own free will, and now com plains because it was not Offered more. if Mr. Drununond offers a merchant bIx dollars a do/en for hoes for the chain gang to use and tho merchant takes it, can the merchant then murmur? If Mr. Drummond proceeds to pay more than the merchant is willing to take, is Mr. Drununond a good business man? The Supervisor and Commissioners buy groceries, tools, drugs, dry goods, and other commodities. They do not and cannot buy from every merchant in the county selling these things and yet every merchant who does not sell to them has the same right to complain as a newspaper which did not sell adver tising space to them would have. The up-shot of the matter seems to be that because Mr. Drummond did not buy ad vertising space from a newspaper at as high a figure as that paper wanted, while it was willing to take less, thnt paper practically makes an appeal for his defeat for re-election to the otliee of county Supervisor. As for the talk ubout Mr. Drummond and others as "aristocrats", tho people of Laurens county have not unanimously turned fools yet and we shall not insult them by discussing it. Mr. Drummond m. y or may not be elected?that is not our affair, but if the people of Laurens county single him for defeat to further the wishes of a newspaper which val ued its advertising space more than be did, then the people of Laurens county are not what we take them to be. A nice point has been reached when war is declared against a candidate by a newspaper claiming the respcet and rood-will of the people of a great coun ty for such a cause. A word personal: It was not known in this otliee that tho county "advert is . was under discussion when t he di ision which is complained at was made. The advertiser is simply grateful to the Commissioners for their patronage as it is to other patrons. The Advertiser does not declare as between county candidates, we do not now say who ought to beeleoted Super visor. But since a tight upon Mr. Drununond has been inaugurated by newspaper and the private affairs of The Advertiser to its great annoy ance have been dragged in, we have .bought proper to say this much.? Meanwhile wc do not think our friends will expect us to enter into any boast ful iomparison of the merits of The AD vertiser with other papers. The Ad vertiser speaks for itself, and if it, is not worthy of support it will die: other wise it will tlourish. PENSION MOSEY RECEIVED, I The Fund Now in Clerk Bolt's Bunds For Distribution.

Miss HannahTolbert has contributed the following to The Advertiser about her trip to Charleston: With my ticket so kindly given me by The Advertiser safe in my pocket I took I started to Charleston Tuesday morning ariving there at 10:30 that night. On Hearing I he city the first t hing we saw was the bountiful lights on the Exposition Grounds. After a refresh ing little ridoon the trolley weroaohod our pleasant, boarding place happy in the thoughts of what to-morrow would bring forth. Early next morning we started for the Isle of Pttlms- this was my lirsl trip on the water and I cannot toll you how much I enjoyed it. Every thing Oil the boat was new and strange to me and there seemed so much to see I hardly knew which way to look. It was a grand scene with Charleston behind us, and the different kinds of vessels all around us with Port Sumtor and Castle l'inckncy in the distance. We took the electric car again at Mt. Pleas ant and after a delightful ride through Sullivan's Island we reach the wonder ful Isle of Palms. We had a small basket to put some shells in and went down 00 the beach and watched the waves rolling in and out. Then wc re turned to the Battery. It Isonoof the most beautiful places I ever saw. Char leston ought to be proud of this lovely spot. There is a monument in memory of the Second South Carolina I legi-1 ment?frequently called the Sergeant Jasper Monument. The rest of my time I spent at the Exposition grounds. There were so many things there that I could not de scribe them. 1 wish that every one in South Carolina could sec it with their own eyes. The Spartanburg County Exhibit re ceived the liest prize and it has attract ed universal attention for the wide va riety of products exhibited and the ex - ceedingly tasteful arrangement of dis plays. Spartanburg county is noted for its general progressive spirit and especially for its cotton industries and is called the "Lowell of the South." The Fisheries Building is very Inter esting) devoted mainly to showing many different kinds of Ash of the United States. I went in many other large and beau tiful buildings which I can not describe. After leaving the grounds one after noon we went to St. Michaels, tho old church, established by Act of Assem bly in 1751, which is very odd looking inside. We then took a car and went to Magnolia Cemtery. It is a lovely place. All the trees are covered with moss, it hangs so graceful that it looks like it has has been draped on them.

Wo en terod Greenville County at llabbcown, crossed Reedy River at Fork Shoals and the Suludu at Cooloy's bridge. We passed through a good farming section of the Piedmont uud saw evi dences of thrift all along the line. I want to say right here that our county authorities should go to Anderson and learn tho art of road building. In many places the roads have been changed, taking advantage of tho grades and putting tho roads whore thoy will be easier kept up. The roads aro well drained and loundod to the center with rosd imchinos. It is a pleasure to travel over such roads.
