LAURENS, S. C, Jan. 10, 1906.
THE STANDARD LOWERED.
In the "Old Ring Rule" days when
Col. R. M. Sims and Mayor Lightner
and Col. J. Q. Marshall were in office
no scandal arose about the office of
Secretary of State. Nobody claims or
suspects that tho State of South Caro
lina lost a dollar through any State offi
cer between 1876 and 1890. Yet in 1890, in
the manifesto which Senator Tillman
wrote were charges of "incipient cor
ruption" and "bamboozling und de
baunching." Since 1890 such charges
have been common they have been
made time and time again and,?they
have been proved.
Since 1890, scores of good men have
held offices, scores of good men art in
office now, but with the introduction
of Tillman methods the general stand
ards of personal honor were lowered.
Nowadays* a man may be elected to
an office merely by debt and rapid hand
shaking?a man who 2u years ago
would not have had the unmitigated
cheek to offer for a State office. The
late General John Bratton, once Comp
troller General and Congressman, were
ho alive to-day would be easily beaten
for Secretary of State. Senator Tillman
and "Reform" made public life in the
State of South Carolina difficult to pure
and good men of the Bratton stamp.
The "Old Ring Rulers," the "Oligar
chy," probably were upon an average
the highest, cleanest minded set of
political leaders who have been in office
in any American State since the great
war.
It was absolutely necessary to kick
them out for as long as their ideals and
their standards prevailed there was no
chance whatever for?well, it would be
unkind to name uiem.
*
BANKS EN0U0H NOW.
We have banks in plenty in this county
for the present. We are glad that
Cross Hill and Gray Court have banks
and we are glad that Clinton has two
banks?but no more should be organ
ized. The Laurens county banks are
fairly well distributed in the county's
territory but this is not true of all the
counties. We know of some little towns
which have two banks and not business
for one. Indeed, the signs are that in
some localities people are going wild
over establishing banks.
If in a given section too many banks
try to do business some of them will
fail to prosper. Failing to prosper they
will hire cheap men. With cheap men
in the banking business, in time frauds
and embezzlements will follow. Then
the whole banking business will suffer.
A man who will not command a fair
salary is aa a rule unfit to be trusted
with the handling of other men's
money. If there be an overcrowding of
banks some of them will be unable tq.
employ snch men.

WHO DOES OWN IT?
The following is taken from the Spar
tanburg Herald:
"The attention of Mr. John B. Cleve
land, president of the Charleston and
Western Carolina railway, was called
yesterday by a Herald reporter to on
article which appeared in a recent is
sue of the Greenville News to the effect
that the C. & W. C. had been leased
to the Atlantic Coast Line, and would
Erobably be leased to the Seaboard Air
.ine. Mr. Cleveland stated that the C.
& W. C. railway is not now leased by
the Atlantic Coast Line, has never been
leased by that road; nor is it owned by
the Coast Line. The C. & W. C. is not
leased or owned by any other railroad
or corporation."
This statement is of course strictly
true and yet it is mysterious. Read by
itself it leaves the impression that the
connection between the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Charleston & Western
Carolina railways is practically the same
as that between the Washington monu
ment and Adam's cat; yet the general
officers of the Charleston and Western
Carolina are in fact general officers:
of the Atlantic Coast Line and a
majority of the directors of the
two companies we believe, are iden
tical. It is said that the .same men
who own a controlling interest in
tho A. C. L. own a controlling interest
in the C. & W. C. This of course is not
the A. C. L. owning or controlling the
C. & W. C.; inasmuch as it is possible
for a trick rider in a circus to drive
two horses which are not harnessed to
gether and the old-fashioned doctrine
that things equal to the same thing are
equal to each other has been exploded.
Since the question of the ownership
of the C. & W. C. has been raised we
wish the Spartanburg Herald would tell
fully and freely who does own and con
trol it and what akin its owners are to
those of the Atlantic Coast Line sys
tem.
?
We hope that the new year will see a
number of new enterprises set on foot
in Laurens. The town cannot grow
merely by the prosperity of the farm
ers. We must have industries which
will give employment if we are to have
a larger population.
Product of Mills.
The product in one day of the I^ong
man & Martinez great works is enough
to paint every house and everything
made of wood In a city with the L. &
M Paint.
In use thirty years; several houses
painted with L. & M.
L. & M. coats about $1.20 per gallon.
The L. & M. is the best and cheap
eat, because the L. & M. Zinc, hardens
the L. & M. White Lead, and makes it
paint more surface and wear a longer
time than any other paint.
L. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon.
ft only requires 4 gallons of this cele
brated and 3 gallons of Linseed Oil at
?0 cents per gallon to paint a moderate
fftzvad house. Therefore a property
owner ought not pay $1.$0 pay g? lion
for Linseed Oil, which he must do when
a roady-for-use paint is bought.
L. & M. co**? about $1.20 a gallon.

A BRILLIANT WEDDING.
Miss Cozart of Washington, Qa., and
Mr. Samuel P. Qarllngton.
Washington, Ga., Jan. 3.?The mar
riage of Miss Mary Cozart, of this city,
to Mr. Samuel Fleming Garlington, of
Augusta, was a brilliant event, which
was celebrated at high noon to-day at
the home of the bride's mother, Rev.
Dr. J. T. Plunket, of Augusta, was the
officiating clergyman, using the im
pressive ring service of tho Presbyte
rian church.
The whole lower floor of the well-ap
pointed homo was thrown open into one
large room and decorations of smilax,
ferns, hothouse plants supplemented
with the little pink and whito bells
which were tied to the garlands of
bamboo with colonial bows of pink tulle,
presented a most attractive and bril
liant scene. In the drawing room
where the marriage ceremony was per
formed an altar of ferns, palms and
smilax which reached to tho ceiling
was made and on either side of this
were arranged the innumerable waxen
tapers in handsome silver candelabras
which threw a soft radiance over, the
room.
As Mendelssohn's wedding march was ]
being rendered by Mrs. Belle Hill King,
the ribbon girls came from the hall and
took their places just at the entrance
to the drawing room. They were
Misses Elizabeth Cozart of Augusta;
Frances Dillard, Fannie Lou Cozart and
Annie Baker, of Augusta. Each wore
dainty frocks of chiffon with pink rib
bons.
Following the ribbon girls, Mr. J. C.
C. Black, of Augusta, and John T.
Olive, uf Augusta, entered the drawing
room and took their places to tho left
and right of the altar. Then came Miss
Nella Lou Walton, of Newnan, and
Miss Elizabeth Todd, of Laurens, S. C,
who proceeded Mr.Bryson M.Crane and)
Mr. Paul R. Sledge, Jr., of Augusta.
Miss Irvin then came ju3t before the
first bridesmaid, Miss Lucy Reese Dil
lard, and the maid-of-honor, Miss Annie
Victoria Cozart. The bride, tho cyno
sure of all eyes, entered on the arm of
her brother, Dr. A. P. Cozart, of
Lumpkin, just as the groom and his
best man, Mr. Thomas Eyer Carey,
emerged from the dining room on the
left, and joined at the alter where the
vows were taken.
The bride, who is the oldest daughter j
of Mrs. John Pettus Cozart, is a tall
and graceful young woman of striking
beauty and was especially lonely in an
exquisite hand-made robe trimmed with
duchess lace. She carried a shower
bouquet of lilies of the valley and her
veil was caught with a spray of the
same flower.
Each of the bridesmaids wore hand
some dresses of pipk radium and carried
large clusters of bridesmaid roses.
Immediately following the ceremony
a large and brilliant reception was ten
dered from 12:30 until 2:30 by the bride's
mother, Mrs. John Pettus Cozart.
Mr. and Mrs. Garlington took the af
ternoon train for New York, going by
way of Atlanta where they will visit j
two weeks before their return to Au
gusta. The bridal party accompanied
the young married couple to Barnett,
where a train for the east was taken.
Many out-of town guests from Augusta
and other points were present.
