C, as s?cond class mall matter. LAURENS, S. C, April 19, 1905. Sonic Questions. The dissensions in the Board of Di rectors of the Equitable Lifo Assur ance Society, it is said, have been set tled. While the quarrel was in progress it was disclosed that many thousands of dollars of the Company's money were spent for dinners. This is not denied. Meanwhile, although there are evi dences of extravagant and even profli gate management, no one doubts the solvency of the company. The policy holders arc perfectly safe. The com pany has enormous assets. If the management of the Company has been extravagant, has it not never theless sold insurance at as low prices as other companies? If it has so sold insurance, could not the Company have sold insurance lower than other great companies, with econ omical management? If other great companies have sold insurance at prices as high as the Equitable and their management has been sound and economical, why have not their prices been lower? In the cases of mutual companies, why have not the policy holders received larger dividends? As a matter of fact has Equitable insurance cost more than that of most other companies? We think not. If, then, extravagance in the Equita ble has been a fact how are the policy holders of other companies to be con soled,?knowing that they could have done just as well in the Equitable? How are policy holders in "old line" companies generally to escape the con clusion that they are paying extrava gantly for insurance? Can those of us who cannot afford $100. the plate dinners at Sherry's af ford Delimonico insurance? We have never had great faith in fraternal order insurance but we arc being submerged with explanations of how their low rates are possible. What are we and you going to do about it? * By Way of a Suggestion. A great deal is being said and writ ten these days about the "City Beauti ful." The Advertiser has been asked to suggest that something be done be fore the 10th of May to beautify and render less unkempt in appearance the "City of the Dead. " This could easily be accomplished by private parties who have plots in the City Cemetery, having their own squares weeded out and put in order. If a general response is made to this suggestion the cemetery will wear a greatly improved appearance. * Far be it from any one not an ex pert to question the claim that the more rapidly oysters are gathered the more rapidly they multiply but it would be interesting to know whether or not persons engaged in packing oysters are Christian scientists? * Naturally Col. Bryan and Tom John son enjoyed their call on Mayor Dunne. The sight of an unbeaten politician must have been glad to their eyes. . * Mayor Dunne greeted Col. Bryan as "the idol of his party." Shattered? * In Memory of Lamb. L. M. Speers of Newberry has been awarded the contract for erecting a monument in the cemetery at Laurens to Wm. B. Lamb, the color-bearer of the Third South Carolina Regiment in the Civil War. The monument is to be a marble shaft eight feet ten inches on a suitable pedestal. On the monument will be an engraving of the Confeder ate battleflag and the following in scription, "Sergeant W. B. Lamb, Color Bearer of the Third South Caro lina Regiment. Born Feb. 4, 1829. Died May 10, 1901. Erected by the J. B. Kershaw Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy." Sergeant Lamb's fa mous words to Gen. Kershaw at the battle of Chickamauga will also be in scribed on the monument- "Just tell me where to go and I'll go there." The occasion of these words was the following: While the regiment was ad vancing the color-bearer was moving a little too much to tho right and was in danger of causing the Third to overlap the Seventh Regiment. Gen. Kershaw called out to the color-bearer, "Bear to the left, bear to the left," but in the noise of battle the command was not heard. Then the general rushed for ward and took hold of the flagstaff to turn the line toward tho left. Ser geant Lamb grasped the staff and said, "No, sirree. Just tell me where to go and I'll go there; but no man gets this flag as long as I am able to carry it." ? Newberry Observer. A BOUT RHEUMATISM. There arc few diseases that inflict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which BUCh a varied and useless lot of remedies have been suggested. To say that, it can bo cured, is, therefore, a bold statement, to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Halm, which enjoys an extensive sale, has met with groat success in the treat ment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent, cures by its use. Why suf fer when Pain Palm affords such quick relief and costs but a trifle. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. nnd Dr. B. F. Posey. 35-4t. *z? j** raw Beut tba ^ 1 !;? Kirid Y? l,avc Ai*aIs ?O'J?J?
