Liberal reduction mado for largo Advertisements. W. W. Ball, Proprietor. LAU KENS, S. Cm Aug. 5, 1003. Uctling Up In Years. On this day of tho month 18 years ago J. C. ?arlington, now editor of the Spartanburg Spartan, folindod this newspaper. It has b?en published each wook since, about 039 weeks in all. Tho thirteenth year of the present ownership Is also completed. So far as tho ownership is conoered, the thir teenth lias boon its luckiest year. Tho friends of The ADVERTISER number at loaat a full regiment and a few companies extra. Thoy will be glad to know that tho general health of tho paper Is good. Apparently, tho pa per has more dollar a year friends, by that we moan thoso actually worth a dollar a year, than It has had before. Others arc enlisting every day. During the lifo of The ADVERTISER the town of Laurcus has quadrupled in population. This has not meant a quadrupling in newspaper income. Un til 1891 the revenues from legal and of floUl advertising were four or live times what thoy are now. Twice as much "hustling" is required now to make a living and a fair profit as was required In thoso days. The time has como when tho people insist upon hav ing an "all homo print" newspaper. Tho expenses of publishing the paper are decidedly greater than ihoy wero earlier because the people demand a hotter paper. Nevertheless, TllE advertiser has no reason to complain. It Is of keen gratification to the owner that the pa per teems to have the confidence of so many worthy poople aud an especial pleasure to the editor that tho lime has long ciuco passed ih it any reader takes olTonce. because the paper's editorial vIoa'p are not his views. We do not ex pect or oven desire that everybody should ngreo with us but we think It Is a good sign tha'. ihe people seem glad to have a paper with independent opin ions and aro willing to support it. As we havo said timo and again, a great newspaper cannot be printed for a dollar the year, "ho most that Iho publisher can do is to glvo tho reader the best value possible for tho dollar. Tho aim of Tino Advertiser is each week to present tho important news concisely, and ia the editorials to giye tho people something to thlak about. Tho editorial is a success if It catches the reader's interest and makes him think. Whether or not it convinces him is of little or no immediate impor tance. Tue Advertiser will probably bo improved to a degree this winter, if the collections from the subscribers justify it. The pap. r concot bo made twice as good unless about twico as much income be received. A newspa per man cannot make a llrst-c'ass arti cle and sell it at the price of shoddy. Wo boliove that Tin-: Advertiser will bo in a better condition on tho first of Jauuary than it is now and if so tho subscribers will get a somewhat better paper in 1901. * A Newspaper Matter. Tin: ADVERTISER has lately received a letter from an association in this State which proposes to hold a fair. Tho letter icqiiesls The ADVERTISER to "boom" this fair and encloses a lot of "copy" by way of suggest'on. Tho fair has for its aim the encouragement of Industry In and iho general develop ment of South Carolina, For fomo rea son, frto tickets to this fair are prom ised tho editors. This association is an old concern aod has hud bountiful free advertising for absut half a Century. Tho free tickets aro presumably in tended to pay for the advertising. Tun advertiser will not go out of its way to '.bcom" this fair. Fair associations should pay for their advertising like individuals. A few persons and corporations in the fair towns got most of tho direct profit. The Charleston Gala Week Association recognizes this and sends money for "booming" each year to the county pa pers. The papers are thus mado to feel that they aro not being imposed upon and properly, exort themselves to ex ploit "gala week." If a fair is worthy of free advertising on account of its public benefits, there is no reason to pay for It in froe tick ets Tho editor accepting free tickets Is merely selling advertising space at a niggardly rate and thinking tho op portunity to bo generous. It may havo boon a newspaper's duty to "boom" the fair horo referred to in tho oarly days of the association's oxlstenco but tho t'ino has come when It is able to pay becauso tho announcement Is made that the association will pay for adver tising oth'jr than that in newspapers It will "bill the stato" with "circus posters." This "b.lllng" will cost inonoy. It will put monoy in tho pock ets of lithographic concerns, bill board owners and i.rnvoiing distribu tors. If this fair association desires space in The ADVERTISER, It must pay for It at losst a nominal sum,?iargo enough to show that It does not wish to "beat" its way to success. The ADVERTISER docs not not take this position on account of the money involved. It will "boom" this fair just so soon as it is made clear that tho association dues not mean to abuse the llborality of the press. Moanwhlle, if the association can win Its way through tho medium of "cir cus posters," that 1* its business. We think that new-p iper publishers should take caro of their own interests and not regard "freo tickets" too highly. the death; peIl?lty. A little thing sometimes results In death. Thus a mere scratch, insignl cant cuts or punny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to havo Buck len's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best salvo on oarth and will prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only 25 cents at Lau reaaDrtig Co. and Palmetto Drug Co.

() the value received for Wol sey's friendship to Brandon was Mary's promise to marry Louis. Mary wanted to send a message at once t?> Braudotii tolling him ids life would bo spared and that she had mad" no delay this time a fact of Which she was very proud hut the Tower gates would not open until morning, so she had to wait. She com pensated herself as well as she could by writing a letter, which 1 should like to give you here, hut It Is too long. She told him of his pardon. Inn not one word upon the theme he so wished yet feared to hear of her promise never to wed any other man. Mary had not told him of her ttnal surrender in the matter of the French marriage, for the reason that she dreaded to pain him and feared ho might refuse the sacrl tlee. ? It will almost kill him, I know," ?she Haid to Jane that night, "and I fear tt Is a false kindness I do him. lie would, probably, rattier die than that I should marry another. I know that I should rather die or have any thing else terrible to happen than for another woman to possess htm. lie promised me he never would, but sup pose he should fall In his word, as I have todny failed In mine? The thought I of It absolutely burns me." And she threw herself Into Jane's arms, and that little comforter tried to soothe her by making light of her fears. "Oh. but suppose he should?" ' Well, there Is no need to borrow trouble. Von said be promised you, and | you know he Is one who keeps bis word." "But I promised, too, and think of what I am about to do. Mary lu heav en, help me! lint be Is made of differ ent stuff from me. I can and do trust his word, and when I think of all my troubles and when it seems that I can not bear them tho one comforting thought COIUCS that no other woman will ever possess htm?no other woman, no other woman. I nm glad that my only comfort cornea from him." "I hoped that I might have been somo comfort to you. I have tried hard enough," said Jane, who was Jeal ous. "Oh, yes, my sweet Jane. You do comfort me. You are like a soothing balm to an aching pain." And she kiss ed the hands that held hers. This was all that modest little Jane required. She was content to bo a humble balm and did not aspire to the dignity of nn elixir. The girls then said their praycyu In concert, and Mary gently wept herself to Bleep. She lay dreaming and toss ing nervously until sunrise, when she got up and added more pages to her letter until I called to take It. I was on hand soon after the Tower gates had opened and was permitted to see Hrandou at once. He read Mary's letter and acted like every oth er lover since love letters first began. Ho was quick to note the absence of the longed for but not expected assur ance, and when he did not sco It went straight to the point. "She has promised to marry the French king to purchase my life. Is that not true?" "I hope not," I answered evasively. "I have seen very little of her, and she has said nothing about It." "You are evading my question, I see. Do you know nothing of 11?" "Nothing," I replied, telling nu un necessary lie. "Cnskoden, you are either a liar or a blockhead." "Make It a liar, Brandon/' said I, laughingly, for I was sure of my place In bis heart and knew that bo meant no offense. I never doubt a friend. One would better bo trustful of ninety-nine friends who are false than doubtful of one who is true. Suspicion ami supersensltlve ness are at onco the badge and the bane of a little soul. I did not leave the Tower until noon, and Brandon's pardon had been deliv ered to him beforo I left. He was glad that the first news of It had come from Mary. lie naturally expected his liberty at once, and when told that he was to be honorably detained for a short time turned to me and said: "I suppose they are afraid to let mo out until she Is off for Franco, King Henry Hatters mo." I looked out of the window up Tower street and said nothing. When I left, I took a letter to Mary, which plainly told her he had divined It all, and she wrote a tear stained an swer, bogging him to forgive her for having saved bis life at a cost greater than her own. For several days I was kept busy carrying letter* from Greenwich to the Tower and ba< k again, but soon letters ceased to satisfy Mary, and she made up her mind that she must see him. Nothing else would do. She must not. could not and. In short, would not go another day without seeing Idin?lio, not another hour. Jane and I opposed her all we could, but the liest we could accomplish was to Induce her for Bran don's sake?for she was beginning to SO0 that he was the one who had to suffer for her Indiscretion^--to ask Henry's pormlaslon, and if he refused, then try some other wny. To deter mine was to net with Mary, so off she went without delay lo hunt tho king, taking Jane mid 1)10 along as escort. I low full we wore of Important busi ness as we scurried along the corridors, one on each Hide of Mary, all talking excitedly at once! When anything was to be done, it always required three of us to do It. We found the king, and without any prelude Mary proffered her request. Of course it wns refused. Mary pouted and wns getting ready for nn outburst when Wolsey spoke up: "With your majesty's gracious permission, I would subserlbo to the petition of the prin cess. She hns been good enough to give her promise In the matter of so much Importance to us, and In so small n thing as this I hopo you may see your wny clear toward favoring her. The Interview will bo the lar.t and may help to make her duty easier." Mary gavo tho cnrdlnal a fleeting glance from her lustrous eyes full of surprise and gratitude and ns speaking as a book. Henry looked from ono to tho other of us for a moment and broke into a [tolsterous laugh. i secret. The old king "will never know. We tun hurry up Iho marriage. Ho is ;:?? t; i? ? ?r loo much already?400, 000 < rowns inul a girl liko you. He cannot eoiuphiln If ho have nn heir. It would be a good Joke on tin* miserly old dotard, hut better on 'Co Ql'OS (Jafron.' " Mary sprung from her chair with n cry of I'll go. "You l>rul<?: Do you think I tun as vile as you because I hnve the misfortune to bo your sister, or that Charles Brandon la like you simply because he la a man?" Henry laughed, his health at that lime being too good for him to bo ill nntured. Ho had nil he wanted out of his sister, so her outbursts amused him. Mary hurriedly left the king and walked back to her room, tilled with shame and rage, feelings actively stim ulated by .lane, who was equally Indig nant, I! r.:y had noticed .lane's frown, but had laughed at her and had tried to enteh and kiss her as she left, but she struggled away from him and fled with a speed worthy of the cause. This Insulting suggestion put a stop to Mary':-, visit to the Tower more ef fectually than any refusal could have done, and she sat down to pour forth her soul's Indignation In a letter. She remained at home then, but saw Brandon later, nnd to good purpose, as I believe, although I nm not sure about It even to this day. I look this letter to Brandon along with Mary's miniature?the one that had been painted for Charles of Ger many, but had never been given?and n curl of her hair, nnd it looked as If this was all ho would ever possess of her. Do Longuevlllo heard of Henry's brutal consent that Mary might see Brandon, and. with a Frenchman's be lief in woman's depravity, was exceed ingly anxious to keep (hem apart. To this end he requested that a member of bis own retinue he placed near Bran don. To this Henry readily consented, and there was nn end to even tho let ter writ Inj;. Opportunities Increase In VultlO doubly fast as they drift behind us, and now that the princess could not sec Brandon or even write to him she? regretted with her whole soul that she bad not none to the Tower when she had permission, regardless of what any one would say or think. Mary was Imperious find impatient by nature, but upon rare nnd urgent occasions could employ tho very smooth est sort of finesse, Henry's brutal selfishness In forcing upon her the French marriage, togeth er with his cruel condemnation of Brandon mid his vile insinuations against herself, had driven nearly ev ery spark of affection for her brother from her heart. But she felt that she might feign nn affection she did not feel, and that what she so wanted would be cheap nt the price. Cheap? It would he cheap at (ho cost of her immortal soul. Cheap? What she wanted was UTe's condensed sweets the man she loved and what she wanted to escape was life's distilled bitterness marriage With a mail she loathed. None but a pure woman can know the torture of that. I saw this winde disastrous cam paign from start to finish. Mary began with a wide think movement conducted under masked batteries and skillfully executed, she sighed over her troubles and cried a great deal, but told the king he had been such a dear, kind brother to her that she would gladly do anything to please him and advance his Interests. She said it would be. torture to live with that old creature, King Louis, but she would do It wlll lllgly to help her handsome brother, no matter how much she mlghl suffer. The king laughed and said: "Poor old I.ouls! What about him? What about his suffering? He thinks lie Is mnkiiig such a lino bargain, but the Lord pity him ?'heil be has my little sister In his shlo for n thorn. He had better employ some energetic soul to prick him wllh needles and bodkins, for I think there Is more power for disturbance in thin little body than In any other equal amount of space in nil the universe. You will furnish him all lb" trouble he wants, won't you, sister?" "I shall try," said the princess de murely, perfectly ^willing to obey In everything. "Devil n doubt of that, nnd you will sucooe?, loo, or my crown's n stew pan." And he laughed at the hugo Jolco lie was about to perpetrate on his poor old royal brother. It would seem that tho tremendous dose of (lattery administered by Mary would have been so plainly self Inter ested as "??) alarm tho dullest percep tion, but Henry's vanity was ?0 dense, and bis appetite for flattery so groat that be accepted Jt all without, sus picion, and it made him quite nfl'ublo and gracious. Mary kept up her show of affection nnd docile obedience for a week or two until she thought Henry's suspicions were allayed, and then, after having done enough petting nnd fondling, as she thought, to start tho earth Itself n-movlng - ns some men nro foolish enough to any it really does - she began the attack direct by putting her arms about tho king's neck and plteously begging him not to sncriflco her wholo life by sending her to France. Her pathetic, soul charged appeal might have softened the heart of Calig ula himself, but Henry was not even cruel. Ho was simply nn nnlnial so absorbed In himself that ho could not feel for others. "(Hi, It Is out ht last!" ho said with a laugh. "I thought all this sweetness must have been for something. Ho the lady wants her Brandon and doesn't want her I^nils, yet Is willing {o obey her dear, kind brother? Well, we'll take her nt her word and let her obey. Von inny as well understand, onco and {or all, that you nro to go to France. You promised to go decently If I would not out off that fellow's bend, and HOW I tell you that if I hear another whim per from you off It comes, and you will go to France too." TIiIh brought Mary to terms quickly enough. Jt touched iier one vulnerable spot- -her love. "1 will go; I promise It again. You shall never hear another word that no harm shall como to him?to him." And She put her hands over her face to con opal her tears as sho softly wept. c'Tho day you Kall for i^ranco Bran don shall go free and s^H agnin I hn^ld post nt court. Ifllke the ivn "I um all to blame, and ntn ready this day to pay tbo penalty. I am at your disposal to go when and whore you ehooso," anawered Mary most pathet ically. Poor, fair Proserpina, wltli no kind mother Demeter to help her. Tho ground will soou open, and Pluto will have his bride. That evening Cavendish took nip nsldo and said his master, Wolsey, wished to speak to mo privately at a convenient opportunity. So when tho' bishop left his card table on hour later I throw myself in his way. He spoke gayly to mo, nnd wo walked down the corridor arm In arm. I could uot im agine what was wanted, hut presently It came out: "My dear Caskoden"?had I been one for whom ho could have had any use I should havo grown suspi cious? "my dear Caskoden, I know 1 can trust you; especially when that which I havo to say Is for tho happi ness of your frtcnds. I am sure you will never name mo In connection with the suggestion I am about to make, and will use tho thought only as your own." I did not know what was coming, but gnvo him tho strongest nssuraneo of my trustworthiness. "It is this: Louis of Franco Is little better than a dead man. King Henry, perhaps. Is not fully aware of this, and If he is ho has never considered the probability of his speedy death. The thought occurred to me that although the princess cannot dissuade her broth er from this marriage, she may be able, In view of her ready and cheerful com "My dear Cashodcu, I luioiu I can trust you." pllance, to extract some virtue out of her sore necessity and induce him to promise that In case of tho death of Louis she herself shall choose her sec ond husband." "My lord," I replied, quickly grasping the point, "it Is small wonder you rule this land. You havo both brain and heart." "I thank you, Sir Edwin, and hope that both may always be at tho serv ice of you and your friends." I gave the suggestion to Mary as my own, recommending that she proffer her request to the king In the presence of Wolsey, and, although she had little faith or hope, she determined to try. Within a day or two nn opportunity Offered, and she said to Henry: "I am ready to go to France any lime you wish, anil shall do it decently and will ingly, but If I do so much for you, brother, you might at least promise me that when King Louis Is dead I may marry whomsoever I wish, lie will probably live forever, but let mo have at least that hope to give me what cheer it may while I suffer." The ever present Wolsey, who was standing near and heard Mary's peti tion, Interposed: "Let me add my pray er to that of her highness. We must give her her own way In something." Mary was Bitch a complete picture of wretchedness that I thought at the time she had really found a tender spot In Henry's heart, for ho gave the prom* ise. Since then 1 have learned, as you will shortly, that It was given sim ply to pacify the girl, and without any Intention whatever of its being kept, but that, in ease of the death of King Louis, Henry Intended again to use bis sister to bis own advantage. To be a beautiful princess is not to enjoy the bliss some people Imagine, The earth Is apt to open at any time and Pluto to snatch her away to -the Lord knows where. Mary again poured out her soul on paper a libation intended for Brandon, 1 made a do/en attempts In as many different ways to deliver her letters, but every effort was a failure, and this missive met the fale of the others. He Longuevllle kept close watch on his master's rival and complained to Hen ry about these attempts at communica tion. Henry laughed and said he would see that they were stopped, but paid no more attention to the matter. If Mary, before her Interview With Henry, had been averse to the French marriage, she was now equally anx ious to hurry It on, and longed to go upon the rack In order that Brandon might be free. He, of course, objected as strenuously as possible to the pur chase of his life by her marriage to Louis, but his bolter Judgment told him- In fact, had told him from the first that she would be compelled eventually to marry tho French king, And common senso told him If It must ho she might as well save his lifo at the samo time. Furthermore bo felt a certain senso of delight in owing his life to her, and knew that the fact that she had saved him, that her saerlflco had not all been In vain, would make it easlor for her to bear. Tho most beautiful feature of the re lations between thoso two lovers was their entire faith In each other. Tho way of their true love ^ps at least not roughened by cobblestones of doubt, however impassable It was from moun tains of opposition. My Inability to deliver Mary's letters did not deter her from writing them, nnd as she was to be married In a few days? Do Longuevlllo to act as proxy sho devoted her entlro tlmo to her let ters nnd wroto pages upon pages, which sho left with mo to Iks delivered "after death," as she called her ninrrlnge. At this time I was called away from court for a day or two, nnd when I ro turned nnd called upon Brandon at tho Tower I found him whistling nnd sing ing, apparently as happy ns a lark. "You heartless dot,'!'' thought I at flrst, but I soon found that ho felt more than happiness?exaltation, "Have you seen her?" I asked. "Who?" As If there wero more thnn one woman In nil tho world for him. "Tho princess." "Not since I left her at Bristol." I believed then, nnd bellevo now, that this wns a point blank falsehood, a very unusual thing for Brandon, but for soino reason probhbly necessary Jn this caso.

When I arrived al the palace am! saw Mary, whnl was my surprise lo find her es bright nnd jubilant as 1 I ad left Brandon. Sho, tun, laughed und sang ami was so happy thai she light ed tho whole room. What did it all mean'/ Thorn was hut one explana tion. They bail me!, ami (hero was some new plan on fool with a fatal ending. The next failure would menu death lo Brandon as certainly as the sun vises in tin1 east. What Hie plan was I could nut guess. With Hrandon In tho Tower under guard both day and night, and Mary nsclosely guarded in the palace, 1 could not see any way of os<-ape for either of them, nor how they could possibly have come together. Hrandon had not told me, I supposed, for fear of being overboard, and Mary, although she had the opportunity, was equally nouconnuunicnttvo, so 1 had rccourso lo Juno upon tho first occa sion, She, by the way, was as blue and sad faced as Mary was joyous. I ashed her if t!ie princess and Brandon bad met, and she sadly said: "I do not know. Wo went down to London yes terday, and as we returned stopped at Bridewell House, where wo found tho king and Wolsey. The princess left the room, saying she would return in a few minutes, and then Wolsey went out, leaving me alone with the king. Rlnry-flld not return for half an hour, aid sho may have soon Master Hrandon during that time. I do not understand how tho meeting could Pave occurred, but Hint Is the only time sho lin ; been away from me." Here .lane deliberately put her head on my shoulder and began to weep pitoously. "What Is the trouble?" I asked. She shook her head: "I cannot, dare pot, tell you." "Oh, bid you must, you must!" And I Insisted so emphatically that she tit length said: "The king!" "The king! Clod In heaven, Jane; toVi me quickly!" When urged, Jane said between her sobs: "He tried to kiss me nnd to mis treat me when Wolsey left tho room at Bridewell House, t may have been used to detain him whllo Mary met Master Hrandon; but, If so, I am sure she knew nothing of it." "And what did you do?" "I struggled away from him and Blintolled (Ills dagger from my breast, telling him that if he took but one step toward me I would plunge It In my heart, and lie said I was a fool." "God keep you always a fool!" said I prayerfully. "How long has this boou going on?" "A month or two. Hut I have always been able 1<> ran away from him. Ho has been growing inoro Importunate of late, so l bought a dagger that very day and had il not one hnur'too sonn." With this sho drew out a gleaming lit tle weapon that flnslied in the rays of the cai die. This was trouble in earnest for me, nnd 1 Showed it very plainly, '1 hen Jane timidly put her hand In mine for tin* first time in le-r life and murmured: "Wo will be married, Ldwlu. If you wish, before we return from Frame." Who was glad to fly lo me to save her self from tfOUry, and I was glfld even to bo the lesser of two evils.
