This was Dono Without the Usoof Com mercial Fertilizers and on Up lands?Plenty of Pork. In these days of 11 cent* cotton it is WOith while to observe that Lauroos County can produce corn. Mr. Alvin J. Martin of Youngs has shown The Advkktiser some specimens of rccord breakirg corn, that shou'd encourage all L?uirens farmers. Tho four ears which he loft with The Advkrtiseu measure an average of ten inches in length and eight in e'.ivum Terence around the middle.

This was with out commercial fcrtilili/.er, though some stable and lot manure was made. On tlvo acre3 he harvested 150 bushels. Mr- Martin is one of those farmers who makes his own hay, his own corn and other provender and most of the meat.that he and his fam'ly consume, lie is a farmer who believes in farming aud ho finds it a good calling. While he is not a rich man, ho has got'.on out of farming what probably tho wealthiest of men do not always get out of other cal'ings?solid and comfortab!e inde p?ndonce. Mr. Martin also brought to The Ar> VEitTiSEit some magnificent specimens of pears, showing that he is a ft u!t grow, er as well as a corn grower.Moreover,he has porkers, raised on his own corn and other produce which will net 1500 pounds.

The Piedmont Savings and Invest ment Company will enable you to do this. Instead of Paying Rent for years und owning nothing at the end of the term the property is yours, Meanwhile, you have had the home from the first?with the motive to im prove it. Owning one's homo does more to make an independent man than any thing else. Aman with little or no property finds it hard to borrow and build. Suoh men this company provides credit for. There are hundreds of working men in this town paying rent on houses that are no-, cosy and comforta ble, they have no conveniences, that are not kept up and that are not im proving in value. Lot* in Laurens are cheap. These same men, with the rent money they are paying, can all own homes in which they will take p'ide and which will grow more valuable each year. The Piedmont Savings and Invest ment Company is not a building and loan association. Why? Beoause the contraot is certain and definite. The borrower knows to a day when his de')t will be due.

President Snyder ef WoIFord College Hero on tho Iuvitation of (ho Weduosday Club. Proaidont Snyder of WolTord Col logo lectured Friday evening in the city school chap 1 on Southern Litera ture, at the invitation of the Wednes day Olub, Ladies. Dr. Snyder recognized,tho fact that tho South has not produced a ^litera ture" in the word's full moaning. He spoko of tho efforts and aspirations of writers having taken their direction from tho social and political conditions, of which the characteristics mo?t dis tinctive were plantation lifo and.tho in terlocked Ideas of state's rights and African slavery. The South's real in tellectual achievement is to bo found in tho sphere of state-craft and until tho war \ he endeavors towards literary dUtino'lon were socondary. The address was scholarly and show ed a lively familiarity with the theme. The speaker has an easy, graceful and finished platform style and tho interest and attention of his auditors were hold. In closing Dr. Snyder alluded to somo of tho later writers who have in re cent yoars won at least a present voguo in reading circles.} While the lecturer's statement that the South has not yet had a true "litoraturo" is accurate, the question arises: Does not the South produce more than its share of contem porary fiction and other writing when the sparsity of its population, povorty of its schools and colleges and thinness of its reading public arc considered? In other words, is it not almost remarka ble that so many like Page, Craddock, Harris, Allen and lessor lights innum erable of the rank of Miss Johnson, Jno Fox, II. S. Edward and Miss Glasgow have been able to get tho eye of the whole American reading public? The notable fact to The Advertiser is that the output of Southern pens seems to be in such demand throughout tho country. While its own reading pub lic is relatively email, Its writers meet those of the North on equal terras in their own territory. The explanation is doubtless that the South before the whole world is a thome of romantic and literary interest and that the rich mines from which they draw aro tho sources of any extraordinary popular ity that Southern story tollers may have. This explanation was hinted by Dr. Snyder when he alluded to the part of the South in tho Civil War. By the way, Dr. Snyder did not mon tion the unpalatable truth that while the South toems with clever story writers,' none has come from South Carl'na, since, perhaps, William Gll moro Sims. No* one South Carolina writer of fiction or poetry has won a reputation in late years, so far as we recall. It is rather puzzling that for a third of a century South Carolina has been relatively so barren of litoi'ary production. Tho lamented Coogler warbled a solemn fact about his state: 1 Sho never was given to literature.'' THE BEST LINIMENT.
