When the town is able to afford sow age, it will have sewage. * Bear in mind that iu voting for sew age you are voting for what you uro not likely to get. n Bear In mind in voting yuur money for sewerage you "re voting for what you are not likely to got. The sower age can only bo provided for a few with a Utile matter of $30,000. * Muoh more than will be available by the proposed bond issue will be re quired to proyido sewage even for the densely populated seotlons of Lau rens. To conneot the "Kloh Hill" lo cality north of the public Fquare with the in airs on the South Sido would ne cessitate dcop and expensive excava tion. It wo*uld cost thousands. What would be the utility of ? eowage system, so far as tho health is Involved, If a' least ibis and the 'Possum Hollow" neighborhood, within 250 yards of the squaro, wore not included? * This town has incorporated area big enough for a city of 50,000. It would be an admirable thing to Install sew erage throughout Hunter or Sullivan township but It would cost too much. There is as much difference, practl oally, in density of population between the towns of Columbia and Laurens as thoro Is between the town of Laurens and Sullivan township. It is only within the last four or live years that Columbia has had sewerage. Charles ton, little if any larger in area than Laurens but with 00,000 people, even now has not a complete sewerage sys tem. In Greenville thero is some sow erago on some streets and none on oth ers. In Greenville, the maa who lives in a co tage, and is not well to-do, must get Along without sewerago and does get along without It. Sewerago In Laurens would be a great convenience to?those who would get It. * Civilised Warfare. A monstrous battle has been in pro grersat Manassas and Thoroughfare, Va., duriDg last week. Thirty thou sand men have been divided Into the Hluesky and the Brownoky armies and according to the press dispatches they have been shooting and oapturing each other In a perfectly innocent, harmless and hurt less way at a prodig ious rate, the object being to teach the American militia the artless art of war and show off what Teddy Roosevelt calls his "big stick." In the first attack Field Marshal Grantsky failed to break the linos of Gen. Bellsky, who commanded tho Blue8kys. On the second night Gen. Corbinsky attended a banquet and on tho following morning he awoke at 10 o'clock with the impression that be had captured all the Brownskys in his mouth and had the Blueskys impri soned in bis beadsky. It is eald that tho casualties on both sides were terrific and that 800 of tho Brownskys fell at the first voll?v nt luf S X. Ib is hinted that the first and second South Carolina regiments were in oharge of the ammunition trainr which included some 14.000 kegs and moro bottles of explosives of a liquid charac ter. When Gen. Bellsky was surprised and surrounded in his bedsky the en emy appropriated the bed but released Bellsky on parole. At one timo there was a general stampede of two brigades which only stopped running when they reached Washington, but there Gen. Blissky easily rallied them at O'Flaherty's congro?sional saloon In Pennsylvania avenue. While the Browusky army was on gaged in a moonlight assault on the Bltieskys three regiments of Connecti cut and Ohio nlgskies became detached from the column and were captured to a man. It is stated that at the point where the capture was elTeced a| farmer reported to Gen. Corblosky next morning the mysterious disap pearance of two dominecker roosters and a hen. It was also reported that certain Southern regiments at this timo *liad refused to salute a taddle colored Connecticut colonol, but tho story was denied. It is conjoctured that with the roo?tors in view there was no time for salutes; hence the story was false on its face. A most regrettable disaster occurred at the duohoss of Danderwilt's ball. It appears that a Georgia lieutenant who was carrying bis logs in a sllnar from the effects of a 13 bottle projectile of Scotch highballs stumbled en the duch ess's military train whloh becamo de railed. The train was recovered in sec tions and its fragments In the form of "Bilk and satin distributed as mcmon toes of the catastrophe. The young of ficer was of course court martialcd and condemned to be shot. The sen tenoe had been partially carried out when laH beard from, for the oftl'o>r was fully half ( hot. At tho close of the fighting o?uounell of war met aud General BeUvky took the chair and a decanter oad Genend Granlskl loon two obaJra. and two decanters. General CorbansJcl r. - remarked that while 30,000 r men had participated >n the rr.anoevres bo had never been able ?o see less than 00,000 at one time. Umpire Wagner ski arose and moved that the late Gen eral W. T. Sherman was a fool when he said that "war was hollskl;" for that it was not even basobullski. The motion wes enthusiastically passed with the decanters included a* amendments. A motion to adjourn followed and the decanters were again offered as amend ments. The amendments passed but PILL TAKING A PLEASURE.

This remark was mado by bim ?'Tbero is only one man that out-ranks Brooks in ability In the whole Stato. Well done for old Laurens County. Sometimes we have a good thing and don't know It until we loose It I 8. The Advertiser does not under stand from the communication of "S" that he means to disparage the qualifi cations of the gentleman nominated to succeed Mr. Brooks. TUB ADVER TISER fully agrees with and endorses what is said of Mr. Brooks, but until th ? contrary is demonstrated we shall have confidence that Mr. Nash will perform tho duties of theoflice to every body satisfactorily. Mr. Featherstoue's Card of Thanks. Editor ADVERTISER: I desire through your columns to thank the people of l aureus County for the gen erous support which they gave me on August 80th. My chief object in want ing to go to the Legislature was to be of service to my Stato and county. I have had in mind several years some things that I wanted to try to accom plish for tho good of the State, and if I had been elected I would bavo striven with all my might to accomplish them. But the people have decided otherwise' und I most c\v crfully bow to their will and will do all in my power to bold up the bands of thoso who have be'.n elected. I trust that as a private citizen I shall be able to servo my ':-ople and accom plish BOmeth'Qg In their behalf. If at any time cr in any way I can serve bhem, all '^hoy will have to do will Ve to call on me. Vtr., Respectfully, C. C. Featherstono. o ./v. rs o x?.. x yx.. B..ar. ih? II? Kind Wi^Alttays Boii?b!
