Liberal reduction made for large Advertisements. W. W. Ball, Proprietor. LAURENN, 8. C, Aug. 18, 1902. '.'oncoming Old issues. Judge O. G. Thompson in his defense of the Reform movement yesterday quoted an expression recently used by The Advertiser and replied lo it in a olever and well conceived argument. We do not purpose to answer it. While we believe that the Reform movement "did South Carolina untold hurt," we do not think that threshing over old straw will Improve the situation. We arc qulto sure that Judge Thompson and Reformers generally have been entirely patriotic and honest In their views just as most of the Conservatives have been. Whether Tillmanism was a mistake or not history will settle. Life is too short to discuss it now. Meanwhile thero is a present with new issues to face and while we adhere to our old opinions wo do not think they havo anything to do with affairs of this day. According to them honesty of motive, nothing remains to prevent The Advertiser from supporting even more Reform candidates than Conservatives this year, and who was wrong or right m the past, though wo believe of course the "other fellows" were wrong, is to us a rather trivial quostion. The Advertisku hopes that all its friends will be able to I take a similar view. Wc are of course not taking any position as between the three gentlemen running for the oflloe of Probate Judge but we do say that the fact that Judge Thompson, exer cising his undoubted right and privi- | lege in manly and courteous manner to make any defence he thinks proper of the Reform movement, ought not to excite tho ire of any "o'.d Antl." Tho reassuring and positive fact is that witn three such candidates as Messrs. Thompson, Clardy and McCllntock Laurcns will have an efficient Judge of Probate. ??? An Idoal Candidate. Pits Hugh McMastcr is a candidate for State Senator in Charleston and - if Charleston elects him, she will havo a Senator worthy of her best traditions and capable of representing to the very limit her great interests and splendid pcoplo. Mr. McMastcr is strong, bold and honest and the people throughout South Carolina know him and lovo him. There's not a county from Oconeo to Beaufort and back again through Conway and York to the beginning place where he has not numbers of influential friends and friends who would not trust him as they would trust few other men . He is a na tive of Palrfield, has lived In Green wood and Richland and has in former years as a traveling newspaper man learned the people of almost every South Carolina neighborhood. The editor of Thk ADVKRTiSKR,onoe a rcsi tlont of Charleston to whom it has in nil circumstances been a pleasure to ?tand by Charleston in every political emergency and do what he could for her welfare, believes that no man of his age in Charleston is so well equip ped to serve that community in the Senate at this time. The question of Mr. Von Kolnit/.'s candidacy and Sena tor Tillman's Interference do not weigh with us. Mr. McMaster's personality is far above these considerations and Charleston should -elect him over whelmingly because in the balls of leg islation ho would bo a tower of strength foe Charleston. Wc are not indulging in exaggeration or fulsomo praise. We know whereof we speak; we know that there is scarcely a man of his age who commands so large a personal follow ing scattered over the whole State as Pitz McMastcr and this following is de voted to him and boliovcs in his indexi ble integrity and courago and loyalty .to his sense of right. Coupled with theso virtues, his tireless industry, his fine talent and facility as n. speaker Would yivo him a value to Charleston and the whole t t?te as well which it would bo hard to measure. * * * Light on a Bark Subject. Wo venture to suggest that if our friend The Herald would drop down to Charleston for a day or two it would find that the candidacy of Mr. Von Kolnitz for state senator is not in stigated altogether by the "Antis." It would find that this gentleman, who spoke for McKinley in 1806 and voted the Democratic ticket in 1000, is sup Swted by the leading Tillmanltes of harleston. For example, It would find among his political friends, Captain Elmoro Martin, who for 12 years has been the head and front of tho Reform party in Charleston and was chief of police under the metropolitan system, it would And that most of the Charles ton Reformers are for Von KoInltz.Tho truth la that it is a situation that would make a bed-post laugh-Senator Vi 11 man has threatened to read the Charleston ians who support Von Kolnitz out of the party and to carry it out he would be compelled to begin with his friends. After all the Charleston situation has nothing to do with state politics. Cap tain Martin, for instance, is no less a staunch Democrat tban a staunch Re former and Is a fine fellow besides ? and yet he and his crowd are for Von Kolnitz. Both the candidates against Mr. Von Kolnltz are Antis. As to Mr. Hey ward, he will not get the bulk of his Charleston vote from Mr. Von Kolnitz's friends. Tho German vote will largely go to Mr. Von Kolnitz and for governor it will for the most part be for Ansel.who has relatives and friends among the Germans in Charleston. We fear the Herald Is taokling a tan gled proposition when it touches Char leston politics. We believe that the late Mr. Hugh Ferguson was the only man who evor understood i%, *#* Jlues tho Band. Senator Tillman has declared that he will express no preference in the race for governor or for other offices. It seems to The Advkrtiser that this means that Senator Tillman in no longer a Tillmanite, that the Senator has deserted Tillmanism. If he will draw no linos between Tillmaoitos and Antis, he is just as good an Anti as he is a Tillmanite. There's no escaping this reasoning. So far then as one can judgo from any speech or word of Sena tor Tillman ho is as much In favor of Jim Tillman as for Talbert or for An sel as for Timmerinan and as much for one as for the other or all or any, Hey ward included. The Advxrtiskh warmly welcomes to its heart of hearts Senator Tillman, now washed of Till-1 manlsm and horeafter a member in good standing with ourselves in the glorious band of traitors and desert ? c have had in a lojfc time to the CANDIDATES SPEAK. Aspirants for .County Of fices Open Campaign* About 800 Voter* Listen to The Ad* dresses- Wood Humor Prcralls?The Legislative Issues Discussed* About 300 voters, mostly from the country, und few ladies heard the can didates for county ofrlecs yesterday in the Court House. Col. Crows presided for the first part of the meeting' and John Ii. Brooks for the lust part. TUB Advertiser gives below a sum mary of the speeches for the legisla tive candidates. A promising feature was the intelligent und earnest discus sion of the road question by candidates for Supervisor and County Commis sioner. MR, W. O.'IRBY, jr. The candidates for tho house opened tho speaking, being allowed 20 minutes each and W. C. Irby, Jr., was the first speaker. He thanked tho people of 1,aureus for favors. Except two and a half years at Clemson ho had always lived here. His only record was his private life and four years in the school room. Friends had advised him some times to go to a larger place "but it will over be a pleasure to live among my people. About my only platform. Is the protection of tho weak against tho strong. 'Jofferson still lives' as President Adams said on his death bed, and tho principles of Jofferson are alive to-day as ever. The trusts are among the greatest evils of the day" He jxdnted out the extortions of the Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts. The Guano Trust is the greatest evil that has ever been placed on South Caro lina, l'riees have been increased from two to three dollars a ton; this amounts to from $(100.000 to $1,000,000 a year to the State. If I am elected I shall ever tight the trusts and if in my power to take charters from theso trusts I shall do so. I feel that if I am ever to bo of sorvico to my people I must begin while I am young, be furo 1 am old and brokon down. 1 snail stand for what I believe right whether I am talking to people who agree with me or not. If tho peo plc honor mo I shall over work for what I think to the interests of my people." Applause. HON. R. A. COOPER. Hon. R. A. Cooper followed. ''Two years ago you honored me with elec tion and I am here to give an account of my stewardship. I have never sought the applause of the multitude l?ut have voted as I thought best for your interests. If I have mado mis takes they havo not been from tho heart." Alluding to the pistol law which ho introduced he declared that next to liquor carrying pistols was the greatest evil. Whether the law meets your approval or not it was an honest effort on my part to abate this evil. Features of the law as to the size and weight whloh some people ridicule were to avoid the constitution's provis ions as to the right of carrying arms. The old concealed weapon law did not give the right to protect against inva sion. The new does. Last year eight homicide cases cost the county $1000 eaoh and I shall do what I can to re duce this expense." He explained his bill for a sinking fund to reduce the county indebted ness. He denied a rumor that he in troduced a bill for tho appointment of superintendents of education instead of electing them. No such bill had ever been Introduced by anybody. He defended the road law, saying that the law did not require eight days service The law had to apply to all counties. He explained the law of dividing coun ty dispensary profits with the common schools. As to trusts, he agreed with Mr. Irby and spoke of the pending leg islation a) to tho Guano Trust. He de fended the proposition for a fertilizer factory In the penitentiary Applause, HON. F. P. MCUOWAN. After thanking the people for support two years ago Hon. F. P. McGowan said that as a rule tho delegation had voted together except in a few notable instances. "'I found that Laurens was Eaying interest on $14!?,f>00 railway onds. My first work was to remove legal obstructions to refunding the debt at a lower rate. 1' succeeded in getting through a general law provid ing for refunding which enabled the Supervisor to refund at from 4 to 4i per cent instead of 0 or 7 per cent." He endeavored to amend the labor contract law so as to increase the penalty. He regretted that his offorts failed. He assisted Mr. Morgain, of Greenville, in a labor bill which passed the House He explained his work in tho congres sional redistricting bill. He objected to grouping Laurens with remote coun ties like Aiken and introduced the bill which passed' putting Laurens in a compact and homogeneous district. He explained his bill to reduce tax penal ties and fixing time for issuing execu tions. It was nn incentive to .the rich man to pay promptly while it helped the poor man who preferred to wait and would often pay the ono per cent for waiting-. He favored a measure for borrowing money to pay teachers in cash. Ho would favor a law to place all county school* on a cash basis. He voted for overy dollar tho Winthrop Trustees asked for. "I nover missed a roll call and on the last day when ef forts were being made to placo riders to tho.appropriation bills I claim to have saved to tho people for tho present $41,000. Applause. HON. B. W. NICHOLS. R. Wiater Nichols laid in part. "I stand on my record. My ability con sists largely in keeping quiet. The best best legislator is he that is the best bill killer. I think we hayo too many laws. Of 1200 bills introduced in the two sessions I have been a member 000 were killed. I think some of them might be dispensed with. I voted for most of the measures introduced by Lau rens members. I voted for measures to restrict the trusts. I voted for Mr. McGowan's labor bill though I did not approve carrying such cases to the higher courts. I believe more power in these matters should be given to the magistrates, that penalties of 00 in stead of 30 days for contract violations should be provided. "I have at all times stated that no bill for appointing county superintend ents bad oeen introduced. I also ex plained the Thomas bill to some citi zens which I voted ?against. This bill provided a board of trustees whioh should elect a superintendent." Mr. Cooper had explained that he voted for the Thomas bill, with the under standing that a substitute bill would be introduced without the provision for tho board electing the superintendent, which ho opposed. Mr. Nichols closed amid applause. MR. JARRD P. SULLIVAN. Jared D. Sullivan favored legis la* tlon against the trusts. Ho was a strong believer in the Alliance. ' 'Edu cation is the first interest of the people. 1 favor the higher institutions oi learn ing but I am still more in favor of the common schools, 'the mudsills of edu cation. We can never become a great nation until we are educated, I Insist on moral and religious education. It has been my ambition to represent the geople of Laurens. I believe the time for paying taxes should be extended to the first of March. I believe all my competitors are honorable gentlemen butffll are younger than I am and I think you should scud one among them of longer practical experience. Ap plause. t>JR. D. F. GODFREY. Dr. B. F. Godfrey said that for the first time he appeared as a speeoh maker. "I have been ambitious for s place in political affairs and have made a study especially of the needs of the common laboring people. I am proud to say that one man in this state has as much to do with electing officers as another. We have three faction* in the Democratic party in Laurena. One will vote only for Reformer*, another only for Conservatives and anothor in discriminately for Reformers or'Con servatives. I have always been a Re former. (Cheers.) "I think a man should stand up and tell whero he is. I favor biennial sessions of the legislature. I favor improving the public roads* I believe all should be forced to pay the commutation tax. I long for the day when all the common j schools for whites should be kept open 8 or 0 months. I think too muob money is paid for the higher institutions." "A law should be enacted by which a mortgage on a laborer's chattels not exceeding t20 should be collectible only in the year in whioh It was made. At present a laborer makes a new contract the next year and then the merchant comes and forces the ne.v employer to pay off the mortgage." W. L. Gray inquired: "How is he forced to pay it?" "He will lose his hand if he doesn't. That's force." Dr. Godfrey was loudly cheered, arousing at this point the greatest enthusiasm of the day. "I favor a State Fertilizer factory. I favor liberal help to the Confederate veterans and f favor the state dispen sary as it stands. If it is to be amended, let the daddy of it amend it." Ap plause. For Prohate Judge. John M. Clardy ior Probate Judge spoke of his record whon he formerly held the cilice. For the same ofllco Capt. W. A. Mc Cllntock announced his candidacy. He related that he had been a contributor to the office for 12 yeara and now left it with the people of theoounty in the hope that tboy may give him an op portunity to get something out of it. O. G. Thompson asked re-election on meritorious eervioep, "Tho fact that I have served beforo should be to my ad vantage as it has equipped me for the office." He defehded the Reform move ment at length. For Supervisor W. J. Honry, H. B. Humbert, J. Y. Addy, R. J. Copeland and J, S. Drummond were the candi dates who spoke. For County Treasurer, Messrs J> G. Wham, J. H. Copoland and J. A.

THE BEST METHOD OP FRYING POOD. Some Valuable Suggestions and How to Get Satisfactory Results. No Need \} of Having Dyspepsia. Most physicians, especially In the northern United States, say that fried food Is responsible for most of the dys pepsia, especially In the south, where frying Is most prevalent. This Is no doubt true, In a broad and average way, but It Is not necessary that It should be true. Too much grease of any kind, and In any way, Is cer tainly bad for the digestion; but the conclusion must not be too hastily reached that fried food is necessarily greasy. Grease for cooking should bo looked upon merely as as a medium for communicating a high degree of heat. It Is not usually possible to cook things In water to a higher temperature than 813 degrees, and hence in many cases it Is necessary to cook meats, etc., a long while at this temperature to get them done. But it Is easily possible to cook things equally well done in grease In a much shorter time, on account of the higher temperature that may bo reached?sometimes 300 to 400 degrees. The true way to cook in grease is to get it very hot before introducing the meat or. other article. When it is dropped In the higher degree of bent immediately chars the outer surface and closeH the pores, bo that the grease cannot get inside. It la important to keep the heat up, and not to put the articles Into the grease so fast as to lower the temperature. When done, they should be Immediately removed and laid on a cloth to absorb the ad hering grease. Many cooks tnke a frying pan off the Are with the eggs or meat In It, all cooked, and leave it so until served. ~)Thls is the next best Way to let the grease soak through to the centre. The very best way to soak the grease Jn, and the very bent way to promote dyspepsia Is to put the ar ticles In the frying pan to cook when the grease is not hot enough. Frying is generally n most wasteful manner of cooking, for the reason that so much of the grease Is thrown away after the article Is cooked. This is gen erally unnecessary. If the frying has been properly done, the grease hns not taken up much from the article cooked. The grease may be poured from the frying pan Into a vessel of hot water, when most of the foreign matter will settle and the pure grease will float, after somewhpt washing itself in the water. It may then be iraed agnin ami ngaJn with the best results. There is naturally a smell from any frying grease. In Europe, where many kinds of grease and oils nre used for frying, people become accustomed to the different smells, and do not mind them. In this country all aro accus tomed to the smell of frying hog lard. When It was first proposed to cook with cotton oil the new smell was ob jectionable, especially the gmolj of badly refined oil, and thus there grew a prejudice against Its use. Another cause for bad results with the oil was the fact that often times the cook would not wait for the oil to get hot enough before putting It In the articles. When using lard, the cook would natur ally wait for It to melt, and it would get hot without provoking Impatience, lut the o|l looks ready when It Is first put In the frying Pan. nnd there Is a temptation to use It too poon. There has been much steady work done by those who make cooking compounds from cotton oil, wdth a view to reducing or disguising the smell. The result has been most gratifying. There are sev eral concerns making a specialty of oil refined for use In cooking, without further manipulation- The Wesson Pro cess company of Savannah, Oa.( ban been very successful In this line and will be glad to mail cook books. There are also a number of highly satisfactory cooking greases made from cotton oil and beef fat, such as "Palnintena" and "Snow Drift," both of which products nre extensively manufactured by the Soulbern Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas nnd Georgia at their works In Savannah. They are both high cluss and lellablc products in which the pure cotton seed oil Is used and they resemble lard In appearance nnd results, but are more satisfactory and healthy, nnd which are superior to hog lard from every point of view. That they nre milch moro healthful there can be no doubt. .

Let us chaso ourselves back nearly a hundred years. ff we began to describe the town of that day, starting at the inter section of Caroline and Main Streets, which are now Tal' ort Boulovard and Ti 11 man A venue, we learn that on the right was a smill brick building and on the left was another office. Both institutions havo psssed away, and in their places wo have the new passenger station of the Interna tional Aerial Navigation Company. Pursuing our way down Main street, we come to a large square area, face tiously dubbed the "equare," sur rounded by a lot of 6tores, booths, cafep, olhcos and dispensarys. This area is to-day the courtyard of tho Palmetto Palace, where our beloved sovereign's children play ping-pong, have the measles, and read "Panama Hat?, Their Uses and Abuses" by Theodore Boosevelt, and "How To Dig tho Isthmian Canal" by Marco Boss arris. In tho center of this "fquare" was the Court House, a political inn scum in those days, but now having been removed to Possum Hollow, is used as a Hall of Fame. Thoro is a (ip ions legend connected with our Coronation Stone. It is said to havo been a rock that was placod by un known hands in prehistoric times in front of tho Bon-Delia hotel, and usod in 1.002 as u footstool by a gang of pro motors who congregatod arouud it every day. Tho individuals arc s^id to havo smoked tho i crniclous to <'>co weed, nnd discussed tho use and abuse of Coca Cola and slot machines. Sev eral of these "Bearers of Burdons" convicted their frionds of being ad dioted to tho work habit. Incidentally they accumulated huge fortunes. One f>aying echemo they projected was to >ulld an lco Factory, but it was later abandoned because of the discovery that the manufactured article would molt In hot weather. Aud about this time tho theory was advanced that milk would sour during a thunder storm. By tho way, you remember, or some of you do, that It was 11)27 that this old Laurens becamo a Principality, tho state of South Carolina being made an Empire. Tho nine townships were changed to Dukedoms, and tho town of Laurens became the capital of the Principality. Later on I hope to b3 able to give you a complete list of the Dukes. Somo of our Ilarons, Barles, etc., for Instance, the Barony of Mc Gowan, the Earldom of Irby, Duchy of Sullivan, Corony of Ooopor, Boioiigh of Godfrey, Duchy of Nichols, take their names from some gontlemen that wore candidates for tho Legislature. Legislature is a term denoting on as sembly of wise men for tho purposo of law-making and drawing $4.00 per diem for 40 days and nights. This body was a success in the latter pnrticu'ar. It was 6iich a cumbersome machine that it eventually caused tho downfall of a republican form of government and gave us tho "Unit Idea" In govern mental administration. This idea or iginated, perhaps, by plagiarizing on the principle applied to tho manu facture of book cases. Now, kind friends, I am indebted in collecting my information to the filos of local newspaper?. Tho data culled from a perusal of them is generally re liable dosplto n contrary opinion pre valent in those days. 1 am impressed with tho crudene?s of tho postal facili ties in voguo in that era of "cocacola um." Mail was brought to old Lau rens only once n day; was distributed by baud with somo delay, during the hottest part of tho day; was put into peculiar boxes that opened on tho out sldo by moans of keys. Letters were posted by dropping tho samo in slots, which eventually broke the backs of persons indulging in this rolle of bar barism! What a contrast with our system. We drop a lottor in a cylinder behind our front doors, and by means of comprossed gas, It is carried to tho post olllco, where it rogulatos itself In a metalic grato work contraction in front of an opera'.or, who by striking the proper key of a machine similar to a lypowriter, it is deposited in tho )) op.'i- mull bag. Mail Is dolivercd now by wiro or pneumatic pouches as tho porson d' sires. Thoso wonder ful inventions aro due to the benign patronage of our beloved Prince, and could not luve been possiblo in the United States. (Loud and continued applause by the nobility.) Books In this day are written by a stall of pon pushers, employed by tho Prince. Formerly they were wrlt'on at random by literary freaks. They aro now loaned out to all who desire them, whereas in that ancient day Ihoy were procured by the donl/.enp, from a public, library instituted and kopt up by a small co'crie of ladies. This pub lic library was the beginning of the magnillcient Royal Archives of Litera ture and Art, standing as you know on tho old Dick Nugent place, over in Brooklyn borough. Can the "Leop ard's Spots" compare in literary finish with the successful novels of this sum mer, such as "Horace on Mlnt-juhps;" "Tho Telephone Belle," or "A Beauty Heard but Unseen," by Aggio Agul naldo, of Lu/on, or "How to Win a Woman by uso of Fly-papers," by Tho Princo of Monte Christo. (Vigorous handolapplng and a shower of roses) Now, just another observation and my 8'unc is ov? r. In 1902 an auto mobile line was started to ply botweon the depot and ail points In I lie burg. The machines were propollcd by mulls 'trine and bm-eogor. and Operated by small boys for tho benefit and behoof of their pa, and this practice gave rise to the great cry of Child Labor. We cannot appreciate the speed of these curios livb g to day when wo travel in the ".'Ogarocliuto." (This Is an airship as its names Implies conical shaped.) As I Eeo that his Maj sty '"Dispensarola" has just blown up, I will stop at this juncture. I think we can derive mutiul profit from the dis cussion of ancient. Laurens, and f trust you will return when I speak on fo'rne phase of this subject at n future date. At this point, Fagg, tho Professor s'opped.
