LAUREMS, 8. C, May 21, 1902.
Goods Honda are absolutely
necessary in this county. 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 Lauivns must have.
Waiting for a Vacancy.
In ilit* cttaii-giie of wt>at The Ad
vertiser doesn'1 know is how to run
dem-on College. Thta ofllce has not
even a telephone connecting with
Clem mi ; not v n a grape-v ne wir?.
If sumo lime <>r o her we bu\ and uwd
a dozen good colleges we shad hiro a
few gangs of trustees and, handing
them the reins, toll them to trot the
colleges for all' they aro worth This
State Is a producer of a superfine ar
ticle of college trustee. It> had a
mighty clever man once who swore
grandly that he would accept no office
except a trusteeship of a farmers' col
lege. He Is dead, we believe. If he
were still on top of ground he would
make a peerless lead-horeo in a trustee
team.
We do own an interest in several
thoroughbred colleges, but our hired
servants, tho members of the legisla
ture, elect expert trustees for thorn.
So we leavo them alone, believing tkat
our stock in them will not go to the
dogs Hence another reason we ne
glected to straighten out tho recent
tangle in Clemson. We failed to
canonize young Thorn well, whom our
agents, tho trustees, have neverthe
less unmartyrcd. We forgot to brevet
the intropld sophomores who made a
gullant secession, charged back in
force, and captured the kopje?glory
be! To date, we have not accepted
young President Hartzog's resignation.
We have not even kicked him. Nor
have we elected any successors of him.
Why should we bother with all this?
Why should wo relieve the trustees of
their duties? Lot them 6tir around
and earn their mileage. Perhaps later,
for amusement, we shall exhibit some
candidates for Clcmson's presidency.
We have, we don't mind saying
so much, a fat and pretty string.
They know Latin,Greek, French, song
and dance, with a sprinkling of Tags
log and ping pong. But they shan't
como nut of the bush until those trus
tees have duly held further post raor
tems. Wo suspect that there is a dis
position to crowd Mr. Hartzoer. Pos
sibly tho sophomores are crowding
him. We know Mr. Hartzog and like
him. Any mun who is at the head of
a college loads a strenuous life. Mr.
Hartzog was just ae ruddy a youth five
years gone es David, the son of Jesse,
and went up ap^inst a tougher propo
sition than young Hons. He has held
his ground well. He hae been these
years ma-ter of hardier lads than
pranced up San Juan Hill. These
younglings have devoured from the
face of earth the foot-ball teams of a
wide slice of creation. They have
made mostcollege base ball nines South
of Pennsylvania a byword, a reproach
and a faint greasc-spot. Some of them
are making Carolina's cotton mill pace
warmer than ever for Massachusetts.
They have done thiags, these Clemson
laddies, and have done them under
Hartzog, who 19 young and one sample
of the large output of recent years
from a Charleston "dude factory."
Therefore our brunettes and blondes,
silver-tongued orators, embroidered
statesmen, frilled jurists, silk
tiled preachers, shining lights, seers,
sages, sachems and saints, all fit and
eager for tho bos6dom of Clemson, we
shall keep safe from taint in our sanc
tum ice-box until the humble and dill
gent trustees have tossed and tumbled
and sweated many sleepless nights and
gagged over it some before ac
cepting Mr. Hartzog's resignation.

WAS GHEAT SUCCESS,
Six Hundred People at
Wares Shoals Picnic.
Prominent Men Made Interesting
Speeches?Captain Hu mbert Pre
sided?Col. Talberfs Address.
The Wares Shoals Picnic last Satur
day attracted about ?00 people. Ad
drosses by candidates were made and
good dinners were abundant. The
weather was cool and delightfu'.
Captain Humbert presided with dig
nity and grace. Scores of substantial
people of Sullivan Township and from
across the river were present to lend
ih. ii- enthusiasm for the development
of the great shoals. A large delega
tion went up from Laurena.
The speakers were: Congressman
Latimer and Mr. George Johnstone,
candidates for the United States Sen
ate; Congressman Talbert for Gover
nor: U. X. Gunter for Attorney Gene
ral; J. T. Gantt for Secretary of State;
Mr. Wilburn, lioyd Evans and A. C.
Jepson for Railroad Commissioner, and
?. B. Martin for Superintendent of Ed
ucation.
Col. Talbert's speech was pitched on
a high plane. Ho impressed on his au
dience the value of cotton mills to the
South and said that town and country
people should work harmoniously for
mutual upbuilding. He favored the
support of all the colleges wo have, but
said the improvement of the common
schools was especially necessary. We
must have better roads, they must be
bettered even if some taxation is re
quired. He spoke of bis work as State
lecturer to ? m Farmers' Alliance and
said that the underlying principle of
the Alliance still lived. Col. Talbert*
sj>eeoh was enlivened with good stories
and he created a line impression. He
did not allude to his candidacy for Gov
ernor.
Congressman Latimer emphasized
the value of cotton mills, but said that
they should not have any special priv
ileges. They could make good divi
dends without a protective tariff and
they should be controlled by South Car
olinians. He severely arraigned the
Republican ship subsidy polioy and in
cidentally Senator McLaurin's position.
He declared that there was nothing in
the contention that holding the Philip
pines was necessary to maintaining the
commerce of the.United States with
China, and said that the war in those
islands would cost a hundred millions a
year and bring upon us a horde of evils.
It was demoralizing American soldiers,
and returning they would bring loath
some Oriental diseases into homes.
He announced bis candidacy for the
Senate and said he felt himself as well
equipped to serve the State as any who
would be in the Held. He said that ex
aggerated ideas prevail as to a Con
gressman's influence, but a Congress
man is just as big as his constituents
will allow and no bigger. This bo il
lustrated by telling that Senator Money,
of Mississippi, had voted for a bill
which to him he had previously de
nounced and explained that if he had
not so done, in obedience to resolutions
adopted in his district, he would have
lost his seat.
He would vote for a measure in obe
dience to the wishes of his people even
if it pinched his conscience a little. "If
I know my people at home want a
thing," he exclaimed, "Latimer's con
victions are laid aside." He was not
wedded to all political views that might
have been thought right in past years.
With changing conditions be sometimes
changed his mind, He had believed in
the sub-treasury plan as be had beHov
ed in his own existence, but later inves
tigation showed that it would have
placed a lover in the hands of a certain
class that would have enabled them to
rob the people. In the same way he
had believed in free silver at 16 to 1.
Its principle is not less right that it has
been, but the unexpected discoveries of
gold had supplied the demand for more
money and made its advocacy now not
absolutely necessary. He denounced Mr.
Cleveland's administration and said
that Mr. Cleveland left the Democratic
party suffering from injuries from which
it had not recovered. Concluding, he
said that he had been in Congress ten
years, during which the people had
paid him $00,000, and he bad worked
hard to train himself to serve them
hotter. Would they throw away what
these years of hard work and experi
ence and this expenditure had made
him in order to elect some other fellow?
Mr. Latimer received some applause,
though the audience was not a demon
strative one.
Mr. Johnstone scrupulously ignored
>olitics and sj>oke briefly, but cloquent
y, on the good results accomplished by
the construction of mills. Ho urged
the people to heartily co-operate with
the Wares Shoals Company in develop
ing their great property, describing
how it would build up a little city and
enhance the value of the neighboring
lands by giving to the farmers a home
market for their products. The value
of the cotton raised In the South in the
last thirty years would mount In the
billions. We need in the South, in ad
dition to the farmers, another class, a
elaas of consumers, but not idlers, who
would buy what the farmers produce
and thus more of this vast sum of mon
ey would be kept in tho South.
The other speakers contented them
selves with announcing themselves for
various offices. Mr. Gunter and Mr.
Gantt, both of whom are young men,
made telling though brief speeches.
Mr. Gantt is now assistant seoretary
of State and Mr. Gunter is assistant
attorney general.
Everybody expressed gratification
with Col. Talbert's address. It gave
confidence in his candidacy to conserva
tive people. Col. Talbert, by the way,
was serenaded in Laurens Friday
night by the band and responded to
calls in an effecive little speech. He
was the guest of Mr. D. H. Counts
while here.
Col. Robert Arnold, of Princeton,
was at the picnlo and his numerous
friends were glad of the opportunity to
see and greet him again.
Mr. WT D. Sullivan who is always at
the forefront of any movement that
means the building up of the county
and State was present.
Railroad Commissioner Wharton
came up from Waterloo, Mr. D. C.
Smith accompanying him.
Dr. W. T. Jones was among the
prominent citizens from across the
river.

TRINITY SCHOOL CLOSED.
Ficnlr aud Speaking Greatlj Enjoyed
Last Friday.
Miss Mamie Clardy's school at Trin
ity Church was closed with a delight
ful picnic last Friday. A large crowd
of neighbors and patrous of the school
were present and the event was keenly
enjoyed. Trinity school is located in a
splendid section of country and is sur
rounded on every sido by good farms
aud, what is more to the ]xrint, good
farmers. Judging by the bountiful and
skilfully prepared picnic dinner served
after the BPe&klng, the ladies of
the vicinity are most admirable home
makers and home-keepers.
The exercises were held in Trinity
Church which was exquisitely deco
rated with evergreens and flowers. Dr.
A. C. Fuller presided and appropriately
introduced the speakers. Rev. Dr. J.
K. McCain opened with prayer and the
children of the school marched in and
sang America, the National hymn. Fol
lowing this the program of recitations
was carried out. Most of the children
were little ones, some of them very
small, and they performed their parts
with marked excellence. Not
one hesitated for a moment and there
was not a hitch of any kind, showing
the careful training they had had.
Addresses were made by \V. W. Rail
and Rev. Watson B. Duncun. Mr.
Ball's remarks were directed to the
need of practical and manual education
while Mr. Duncan spoke eloquently of
the highest aim of education in devel
oping character.
Prizes were then delivered by Rev.
Mr. Woodward of Chestnut Ridge
Church to little Miss Lola Todd and
Miss Luoile VVolflf. "Pretty is as pretty
does" is an old saying but if these lit
tle girls have been as good all the ses
sion as they looked pretty, Friday, they
deserved all sorts of prizes. The school
was an unusually pretty crowd of chil
dren and they were all* bright looking
and tastefully dressed.
Miss Clurdy has been teaching at
Trinity for three years and is greatly
beloved by her pupils and her patrons
value her highly. Teaching in sueh a
community as this with people like the
Holts, Whams, Owings, Garlingtons,
Wolffs, Todds, Burtons, Fullers, Dials,
Allisons, Martins, Tongues and many
others to live among, must be pleasant
work.
Mrs. Schweigert of Laurens presided
at tho organ. The following was the
program:
IT WAS GREATLY ENJOYED.
Town Men Treated to a Splendid Fish
Supper.
A party of Laurens gentlomon wore
dollghtfully entertained at a fish sup
per by Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Byrd a few
evenings ago . Those in the party were
J. F. Tolbert, D. A. Davis, H. K.
Alken, M. H. Fowler, R. P. Mllam and
Master Hugh K Alken.
The supper was greatly enjoyed and
the guests will long remember the
charming hospitality of the host and
hostess. The fish were just out of the
shoally creek and were such fish as
only those who live in a country
"where tho rivers run" know anything
about.
Scholarship Vacant.
The Laurens county scolarship In the
Charleston College which has oeen held
by K. M. Henderson, son of Dr. Hen
derson of Waterloo, is vacant. Tho va
cancy was caused by young Hender
son's obtaining one of the college
scholarships worth $50.00 a year and
free tuition besides. This shows that
young Hendereon is a fine boy and that
you can't keep a Laurens boy down
County Superintendent Brooks and
Probate Judge Thompson will arrance
for a competitive examination to fill
the county scholarship, which gives
tho boy free tuition, and perhaps some
other Laurens boy will got it who will
n Meet as much credit on his county as
young Henderson has reflected.

LAURENS VALUED.
What the County is Worth
on Tax Books.
How the Farms, Houses, Persoual Prop
erty and (ho Corporations arc As
sessed?Townships Compared.
The total valuation of Laurens coun
ty for tax purposes is $5,090,f>48. The
total amount of state, county, school
and road taxes collected is approxi
mately ?73,812.04. The poll taxes
amount to $0,140. These figures are
from the Auditor's books for the year
1901, us well as those that follow.
If the property Is assessed at half its
value, then the act iul value of the
county is over ten million dollars.
Really it would take eleven or twelve
million dollars to buy the county, for
|>ersonal property Is returned far be
low even half Its value.
If a Rockefeller or a Carnegie could
buy Laurens county he would have a
good little farm between the Enorce and
Saluda?but, thank Heaven,?it is not
for sale.
The farm, according to the Auditor's
books, would contain, 120,0157 acres
worth $2,337,803. That is the assessed
valuation of the land and houses. Mr.
Carnegie would find the tract divided
into nine parts with acres and values
as follows: Laurens .57.229, $347,095;
Youngs 41,380, $225,208; Dials 50,702,
$278,485: Sullivan 36,359, $169,115; Wa^
terloo 54,466, $273,765; doss Hill 40.

.lacks .V),247, $21H,800: BouffletOWn 32,
7.54, $165,020.
The land of the whole county has an
average assessed value of about $5.24.
The Hunter tract is a little larger and
worth only a little less than the Lau
rens tract. The ScufQotOwn tract is
the smallest. The value by acre is
smallest in Jacks?because that tract
is thinly settled comparatively.
The total personal property in the
county is $004,230: by townships as fol
lows:* Laurens $273,100: Youngs $175,
1.5.5: Dials $97,705; Sullivans $61,925;
Waterloo $09,940; Cross Hill $66,950;
Hunter $167,565; Jacks $45,275: Scufll
town $46,555. Laurens has a big lead
in personalty.
Hunflfc, cotton mills, etc., are assessed
separately. Eour banks arc assessed
at $184.000, and two private banking
firms at $42.000. Three cotton mills
pay on $407,000. Oil mills arc placed
at $30,000. The railroads assessment
is $709.92.5; Telegraph companies, $78,
807; Express Companies, $48.865; Hull
man Car Company, $35,815; Telephone
Companies. $32,625; Insurance Compa
nies, $53,940.
The railroads, banks, cotton mills
and other corporations are paying taxes
on property valued at $1,.507,077 while
the land and houses in Laurens are
valued at $2,237,803. Corporations are
convenient to have around as tax
payers.
The Auditor's books for 1902 have
not yet been fully made up.
