IT WAS GREAT BALL. Finest Exhibition of Na ? tional Game Seen More. Lauren* and Tarboro Tied ?Her 14 In a lugs?other Maines of tho Week ?Excellent Haying. Although the. Laurens team was beatell two out of tho threo games with the Tarboroj N. <\, team last week and the third was a tie, still the Laurens bovs put up a game that was better than a victory. The fact4s that the Tarheels*are semi-professionals. Two of their players left here to join a pro fessional team in New York state last Sunday. In .spite of this, Laurens he!d them down to four runs the first game, Thursday, and on tho following day, the score was 1 to 1, 14 innings game slopped by darkness Undou'-'cdly this was tho finest game of bah over seen in I^aureus and It has rarely been ctjuu'lod by amateurs. . Dobbins, of Piedmont), a left-handed youngster, pitched for Laurens and Williams caught. Williams made the only run for Laurens. Dobbins Is a Georgia buy. He is to pitch for Purmun next year, so it is said. Williams caught a great game. Saturday's game resulted in a Bryan ite victory for Tarboro?Hi to 1. The North Carolinians went to Columbia Sunday, whore they play three games In tho last game with Piedmont Lau rens won by 17 to 8?Piedmont having won the two previous games. HAS THE BONES. Dr. Manuing Edwards' Holies of the Lato Unpleasantness. Df. Manning Edwards brought to the city Monday four inches of thigh bone wrapped in a cotton rag, the pieces of bone having been sawed from his thigh in 18(>2. With them is a ploce of load flattoned which wan once abul lot. The bullet was flattened against Doctor Edwards' thigh bone in the bat tle of Maryland Heights. It was a desperate wound and tho Doctor suf fered untold agonies at the time. Dr. W. II. Ball was captured at the same time and ho nursed Dr. Edwards to re covery. Dr. Edwards served in the Briars, Dr. Edwards is a grandson of a Re volutionary soldier, Andrew Edwards, of Buckingham county, Va , who came to this county in 1802 together with several families, the 8oruggs, the Loagues of Greenville and the Mead ors. Tho Doctor until the Yankee bul let crippled him for life was a hard lightor,?in fact ho is a true blue old warrior yet. Long life to him. Food Adulteration. {'In a pure food case that was taken up from Philadelphia to the supreme court of Pi nnsylvania," says Public Policy, "tho pica was made that the law is not violated unless the quanity of foreign substance in a food staple is sulllciont to injure health." The su preme court decision is that any poi sonous ingredient, whether in quanity to injuro health or not is a violation of tho statute. The cry goes up that this "will affect 20 per cent of the stock of the average doaltr." If one-fifth of the merchandise sold for food contains poi sonous Ingredients there is a startling necessity for active measures. The stupid plea that the poison is not enough in any ono article to hurt the consumer indicates that the vendors never give enough thought to any as pect of tho question, but the pursuit of tho nimble dime and nickel to learn the effect of tho cumulative poisoning. Certainly when we hear from the trade itself that the practico of mixing poi son in food has attained a 20 per cent prevalence, it is time for strenuous suppression aimed with the most vigor at the manufacturers of such articles. In view of the above, had you not hotter buy Clifton flour, a flour guar anteed by the Anti-Adulteration Lesgue? Bransford Mills, Owensboro, Ky. TYLERS VI LLE HAPPENINGS. Thk ADVERTISER has always been appreciated here, but will doubtless be more so when it appears as an all-home print. The former lamented editor had low superiors as a writer in the state. Supervisor Drummond and his over seer, Prior, havo done some first-class work on the public highways around here. The town is now easily accessi ble from the four cardinal points. If Mr. Prior oversees the chain-gang long tho art of repairing vehicles will be very much relegated to tho rear as a money producing occupation. Row. Ford. Jacobs filled his usual ap pOintment at Bothuoy church on tho first Sunday of the month. His ser mons arc eloquent and pungent. Rev. GaUy Watson will commence his protracted meeting at Langston's on the fourth Sunday inst. ' Fow candidates pass through our se questered locality, preferring we sup pose to go to more densely populated regions, whore more prey can bo cap tured. Scufllotown has but one canal, date In the field this year. So it can bo readily seen thit wo arc not an offlcc hocklng set of people. A bridge is being erected over Dun can's Creek by tho county chain-gang on tho road leading from Laurons to this place, which will be a great con venience to tho travelling public. Sallust.

Heretofore lack of space has pre vented The Advertiser from print ing as many lettors from the county as was desired but, boglnning next month, there will be plenty of room. An intelligent person to write regu larly for The AdvsRTISEu is desired from the following points at once: Clinton, Princeton, Eden, Youngs' store, Goldvllle, Benno, Ekom, and Huntersville. At these and neighbor hoods throughout the county agents to take subscriptions to whom a good commission will bo paid, are aleo de sired. None need apply wbo do not in tend to take an active interest and work for Thk Advertiser. ? Beginning with September 1st The Advertiser will be printed at home. The aim is not to make The Adver tiser merely the best paper in Lau rens County- it would not bo in good taste for The Advertiser to claim su periority for jj-self?but to make plain to the people of La'P'Pn? county that they have as good a weekly paper 3,3 any other county in the country has. The Adv.Ebtiser hopes for the as -hi u hit of Laurons people to this end. If Laurens county would like to go forward, or oven to keop up with tnp procession, she mdsthavea voioo worth listening to.lt is the incessant endeavor of The Advertiser to bo such a voice With this in view The Advertiser tells from time to time what Laurens is doiog?what our cotton crop is, how it increases, how our tax values increaso and our- schools improve and how our mills are progressing and enlarging. Without belittling the good work pj our neighbors, we believe that Thk AdvkRtiser files will show that The Advertiser fa doing decidedly more to emphasize the progrp?s of this city a ml county than any *>thpr newspa per. It Is fho chlbf aim of Thb ^dver. tiser to convince the reading m?b]ic of the advantages of this pity and county believing that in this way the valuo of farming lands and a'l other properties will bo enhanced. If The Advehtisbr is doing anything In this development, its efforts will be appreciated by tho peonlp who are Interested for Laurens. Or course fjjpreare people In Laurens whose support we' do'notT got. There are some in Laurens who are unwilling to pay a dollar a year for this newspa per but tbe confidence is felt that there are' sufficient thinking people in the coup^y who want a thinking newspaper to mane the improvement contemplated worth the while from a bu^lnpsjj nojn, t of view to the owner. .Not ire as to Magistrates. As to the election of Magistrates for the several townships, iho rpanagers at the different boxes are authorised iff provide a box for such office, and to count the vo'.es and make returns to the Executive Cotnm'ttoe. Candidates for Magistrate can file tbpir pledges with the Township Chairman. Chairman, W. T. Chews. Seo'y. HERE IS TUE LAW. Cooper's Measure About tho Size of Pistols. Topic or Especial Interest In the County -Everybody Should Learn the Features or the Statute. Beoau8e of tho widespread interest in the "heavy gun" law, enacted at the last session of the geuoral assembly and introduced by Representative Cooper, of this county, The Advertiser to day prints it in full. Much doubt and some ignorance about this s atu e ex ist in the public mind and the opportu nity is now presented to every citizen to Inform himself. If the law contsin bad features one may discover them by examination of its terras and a little study will also show tho. good featured to the intelligent reader. Panioular attention is called to tho third clause of tho Statute, prescribing the discretion which tho maglstrato has in determining the merits of each individual caso, and eliminating from the law much of tho apparent rigidity or harshness which it is claimed by some characteri/.es it. AN ACT to regulate the oarrying, manufacture and sale of Pistols and to mako a violation of tho same a Misdemeanor. Section 1. Be it enacted by tho Gen eral Assembly of the State of South Carolina: That from and after the drat day of July 1002 It shall be unlawful for any one to carry about the person whether concealed or not any pistol less than 20 inches long and 3 pounds in weight.

Session for 1002-1003 will begin Sep tember 1st.. The objecto! our public schools is to mako raoro intelligent citizens?for no Other reason is the use of public money for educational purposes justifiable. The co-operation of every citizen and tax-payer Is. therefore, solicited in se curing the attendance of overy boy and girl in our district during tho en tiro nine months of next session. Our course of study compares favora blyi with that of any other graded school In tho State. Wo do not claim to be a preparatory school for any col lego In the State. In using the public money we feel duty bound to give the pupils as complete an education as pos sible In the ten years a'lotted to our course?such an education that will enable them to grapple with the issues of every day life. We shall ever strive, however, to inspire in our pupils a de sire to continue their education at some higher institution. Doubtless it will be of interest to our friends to learn that during the sum mer further improvements have been made on tho building. The halls and rooms havo been brightened up with white wash and paint. Now desks have been ordered for ono room. Shades for the windows will add much to the ap pearance of every room as well as add comfort to both pupils and teacher. Our Mayor. Mr. C. E. Gray, promises to have tho front yard leveled and walks laid oil ,boforo school4 begins, Sept. 1. The pupils will all hail this news with joy and delight.
