In 1800 Laurens had 22-15 ppople and In 1000 over 4000 Iu the '90s the Laurens Cotton Mill was built and it brought a great addition to the popu lation. Moreover, it raised the values of property not only In tho neighbor hood of the plant but throughout the town. It largely increased the taxable values aud gave revenue which the town Is using for better street and other Improvements. Besides, it af forded employmant to a number of people no*, included among those in the mill help proper. The establish ment of this mill Is responsible for most of Laurens' growth between 1890 and 1900. Now what will the town do for the next few years? What is it doing? Leaving tho cotton mill out of con sideration, tho peoplo of Laurens live by merchandise, professions, railroad ing and labor as mechanics, and small manufactories support a few. Unless the population of the county or city or both increases, we have enough law yers, merchants, doctors and even newspapers to do tho business. Un less, such an Increase comes, few more people can make a living here. Unless wo have more people and more domand for houses, we shall scarcely And ten ants for tho houses we have and real estate, the town's main asset, will stand still or depreciate. Unless some thing is done that will glvo employ ment to more people, Laurens is fin ished for some years. A limited amount of cotton and a limited amount of trade come to Laurens each year. The town cannot grow and prospar merely by dividing thl9 trade among a larger number of people. There are some vacant houses Including stores here now. Some people are losing money by owning property that th>v cannot sell or rent. We are not "putting up a poor mouth." Laurens has done well for 20 years. Values have multiplied won derfully. But tho time has not come to rest. Spartanburg, Greenville, Newberry and Greenwood are still building factories of various kinds. The merchant or banker in this day ?who succeeds must go and get business. He can't wait for it to come. The community also which waits will languish. It must go and get facto ries, not necessarily cotton factories, but factories. It must give people something to do before inviting them to fettle. Now tbo moment has come when tho situation commands Laurens men to do something, not for senti mental reasons but in order to place money in their pockets by bringing people who make money to their town. Otherwise, many people who live here now will grow poorer and those who have a little will have a hard time hanging on to it. It behooves business men and others who have a dollar or the hope of a dol lar in this town to help when an under taking is announced that will give new people something to do. We do not want any more people unless we have employment for thorn. *?* Is Silver Lost! Wading through thirteen boggy col umns of a daily newspaper's report of the oratory of candidates for the Sen ate and tho lower house of Congress delivered in Columbia, we find not one word about "free silver at HI to 1 or bust." Not a syllable. Not a tear. Yet free silver is in the Democratic National platform of 1900. That platform is still tho platform. All theso candidates, with one exception, were free silver men in 1900 and in 1890. What is the matter? Colonel Bryan, he that razzlc dazzled tho Chicago Convention with his "crown of thorns" speech,?ho is still shouting for free silver in The Commoner. Surely, surely these South Carolina "aspirants" are not going to "put the dollar about the man?" Listen! Torrents, avelanehes,Pelcean eruptions % of oratory! And not a word for silver. Oh, it is pitiful! Near a whole city full of orators and free silver, but "$50.00 per capita," "more money" and William Jennings Bryan ignored, neglected and forgotten in six brief years! Seriously, brethren,?let's have a heart to heart talk. Isn't It curious that so many of our chosen leaders, practically all of them, failed to see tho snare and delusion in freo silver? Iu Kentucky, in Maryland and all the Northern States Domocrats divided on the silver question. Our learned and brilliant race of statesmen thought one way. How queorly unanimous was their blindness?blindness.now confess ed by silence that speaks so sorrowfully. Can it be that there were great men in Carolina who advocated free silver just to"follow the crowd?" Can it bo that the time has come when strong, bold men who have opinions fear to Utter them? Can it bo that a man who might have saved us from the acknowledged non sense of freo silver could not have ob tained a respectful hearing? After all,brethren,do wo desire a man of independent mind, of courageous spirit, who is afraid only of conscience and who daro not "lay aside his convic tions" even "when ho knows his peo ple want a thing", to speak to us? It is so much easier and nicer and smoother to get together in a county convention and settlo the entire busi ness with a few resolutions. To lay down the whole law and prophets of politics In them. Then make every fel low waltz up, shut, his eyes and swallow them at a gulp. If any little up-start makes faces and pretends that he has a right MT"bave an idea of his own, kick him out. We don't want any dis turbances in our politics. A Democrat nowadays is a man who can swallow. As long as wo put none but men who can swallow on guard, the machine will run beautifully. X>f course, of course, our Bryans get beaten so badly in the country that they really don't know wl-At bit them,?but that\ la due to the traitors; for all who can't or won't, swallow aro traitors. Doubtless it Is hotter that the trai tors bo allowed to beat the Bryans than that the South Carolina machine be jolted. Why, some good man who is drawing a soft salary might be pitched out of office. ? * ? "Solutloning" the Whiskey Question. A United State census bulletin re cently issued shows that in 1890 no le gal distilleries existed in South Caro lina while In 1900 there were 22. In Georgia, whoro local option prevails and two-thirds of the counties are "dry," 37 distilleries were operating in 1890 and 28 in 1900, a reduction of nine in ton years. In Florida, whore local option prevails, and more than half the counties are dry there wore no distil leries in 1890 nor aro thero an; now. In South Carolina whore distilleries aro increasing in number, tho dispen sary law prevails and is said to bo de creasing tho consumption of whiskey. * * * In Accord With Cleveland. Grover Cleveland and D. B. Hill made speeches at the opening of the Tilden Club in New York last week and a number of newspapers have therefore again denounced them as j wreckers or tbe Democratic party. Meanwhile, six candidates for the United States Senate are stumping this state and delivering speeohes in full accord with those of Cleveland ar Hill. Bnt id South Carolina papc Is denouncing these candidates. Cleve land and Hill, perhaps because they have not departed from the positions they now hold for six years, are con demned, but the Democratie party is in fact accepting their leadership juso the same. V ? omes Round AR Right* In hie Columbia speeoh Mr. Latimer said that if ho found his convictions out af accord with tbe wishes of his con stituents, he would resign and possibly seek re-election. This is high ground, an admirable sentiment, it is the opposite of Mr. Latlmer's sentiment at Ware's Shoals: "When I know my people at home want a thing, Latimer's convictions are laid aside." Doubtless Mr. Latimer spoke hastily at Wares shoals, it was a slip of the tongue and it should not be remembered against him. He could not have meant what he said there. %? The ADVERTISER is not of those who consider it a duty or even a privilege to save the State from Col. Jim Till man. Verily, we believe that South Carolina has bad worse governors than Col. Tlllman's like. If the people choose to elect Col. Tillman we shall do all we can to hold up his hands. We shall be one of his main props. We shall be pleased to print his proclama tions. This thing of trying to save the State makes a man tired anyhow. We've quit?leastwise we are resting. *** Sometimes lengthy "write-ups" of candidates appear in this paper marked advertisement. The object of thus marking them is to show that THE ADVERTISER is not boosting these can didates except in the same way that it hoosts merchants who pay for space. ?*? Undoubtedly the speech of John Gary Evans at the Columbia meeting has improved his chances in the sena torial race. It begins to seem possible that Mr. Evans will take Mr. Latimer's place in tho race. WHAT MERCHANTS SAY. Childrens' M Waists.
