Fntered at the postoflice at Laurens, S. C. as second class mail matter. LAURENS, S. C, March 7, 1906. AS TO CLINKSCALES. The Greenwood Journal mentions Prof. John G. Clinkscales as a possibly suitable man to be elected United States Senator. We do not know Mr. Clink scales, but we would inquire whether or not he would, if elected, set himself up as a boss and regard himself as the one man privileged to dictate to South Carolinians how they should sell * us key. We should also like to k >w whether or not Prof. Clinkscales \s been an habitual traducer of otl r men. Would he in a campaign so ii. flame the people by demagogic and falsi appeals that some of them would" pro ceed to "howl down" his opponents? We would inquire especially if this gentleman has insinuated that men who have accepted free passes on railroads have been bamboozled and debauched, and whether or not he has himself for a long period of years ridden free on rail ways in nearly all the Stat s in the Unit ed States, and has saved for his own pock ets thereby perhaps ten thousand or more dollars in the aggregate? If so we would vote against him, fearing that if he should be elected he might be placed in charge of a Railway Rate bill ?and we are unable to place un limited confidence in the ability of any man to deal fairly between the people and the railroads if he has received the equivalent of many thousands of dollars in gratuities or courtesies from the railroads. Of course it is a matter of some im portance whether or not Mr. Clinkscales] is an interesting and powerful speaker, but we would ask about his character first. All that we have ever heard about him is highly creditable to him. # COL. J. B. E. SLOAN. Col. J. B. E. Sloan, who died in Charleston some ten days ago, was in command of the Fourth South Carolina Regiment at First Manassas when that body of troops won for itself and South Carolina fame imperishable. Col. Sloan was brave and high spirited, but of a i modesty that prevented him from tak- ] ing any public position except when duty called, then the response was al ways ready and the performance thor ough. He was a member ot the Pendleton family of Sloans, but since the war had lived in Charleston, where he was prominent in business circles. Hun dreds of men, especially young men and old soldiers, of this Up-country will ever have a grateful remembrance of the generous hospitality of Col. Sloan. No man who was honest was too poor or humble to receive from this kindly gentleman a hearty welcome. Whatever differences long ago existed between the "Up-Country" and "Low Country" have in the past few years rapidly faded, and Col. Sloan, repre sentative of the highest type of Pied mont citizenship, contributed substan tially to the bringing about of this bet ter feeling. Charleston has sent to Greenville and Anderson and other of our northern counties many excellent and worthy men, but in this ever faithful South Carolinian, in whose heart only the best traditions and highest ideals of South ern citizenship found lodgement, An derson gave to Charleston one who would have been a help and an honor to any community. * A MONUMENT TO C0L. WILLIAMS. We are convinced that our remarks about the i). A. h. two weeks ago were ill-advised and not justified. The D. A. R. is doubtless an excellent so ciety. We take it all back. There must be excellent influences in a society whose members write in the spirit of^ the correspondent who sent us the com munication printed last veek. Meanwhile we think that the South Carolina heroes of the Revolution should have monuments. Col. Williams, who was killed at Kings Mountain, was perhaps the most prominent officer of the colony of South Carolina who lost his life during the whole war, except John Laurens. Although Laurens County was not a municipal corporation in those days, Col. Williams was a Laurens man, and most of his descend ants live in Laurens County. We think he should have a monument in Laurens, and we suggest, that Congressman Johnson be requested to obtain an ap propriation for such a monument.? Congressman Johnson is an adept in such matters. Meanwhile the i). A. R, of Laurens might take this matter in hand and begin to raise a fund. If one or two thousand dollars can be obtained by paivate subscription, it will be the easier to obtain Congressional assist ance. The Advertiser will contribute, and will be glad to assist in any way. The monument should be erected on our public square, and the business men of Laurens should bo glad to assist in raising money. We are not inclined to believe that Nelson W. Aldrich, Stephen B. Elkins, J. B. Foraker, Murray Crane and John Kean, Jr., Republicans and Senators put B, R. Tillman in charge of the Railway Rate bill because he is the enemy of the President but because he is already on record as a critic of the Hepburn, bill and because they arc friends of the railroads. A Railway Rate bill will be passed possibly but the railroads will not. suffer. They arc in the hands of their friends. If one member of Congress should endanger his chances for reelection by discussing the dispensary question, why dhould not another? DEATH OF AN AGED CITIZEN. Mr. Elijah Watson, Father of Rev. E. C Watson, Passes Away. Mr. Elijah Watson died at his homo in the Hobbyville section of Spartan burg county, Tuesday night, Feb. 27th, after an illness covering a period of several weeks. He was 87 years old and spent his long and useful life as a farmor at Hobbyville, having been born within three hundred yards of his late home. Mr. Watson was a member of Cedar Shoals Baptist Church at which place the funeral services were held Thurs day, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. T. Taylor and Rev. L. C. Ezell of Woodruff. The deceased is survived by bis wi dow, two daughters, Mrs. R. C. I?ur nett of Cross Anchor and Mrs. J. A. Workman of Woodruff, and two sons, Mr. Golden A. Watson of Hobbyville and Rev. E. C. Watson of this city. Starving to Death. Because her stomach was so weak ened by useless drugging that she could not eat, Mrs. Mary 11. Walters, of St. Clair St., Columbus, O., was literally starving to death. She writes : "My stomach was so weak from use less drugs that I could not eat, and my nerves so wrecked that I could not sleep; and not before I was given up to die was I induced to try Electric Bit ters; with the wonderful results that improvements began at once, and a complete euro full owed."

Mr. Editok: Allow me to suggest, in reply to your inquiry about Mr. George B. Cronier, of Newberry, that if you will refer to his open 1 d or to Senator Tillman, in The News and Courier,pub lished early in September last, deplor ing the Senator's threatened purpose to revive the factional spirit which a de cade ago rent asunder our people, and pleading with him to desist, you will have a fuller and more exact portrayal of the man than it is possible for any one else to give you. It is an expres sion of and by himself. In it you will see the courteous, refined Christian gentleman; the enlightened, ardent pa triot; the wise statesman, combining all the elements of a typical South Carolinian with a total absence of all that is low and debasing in its tendency, one of whom his State would justly be proud. Mr. Cromer is no stranger here, and our people anxiously await the opportunity to declare him their choice to fill the next vacant seat in the National Senate. Special. Greenwood, S. C. March 6th. The Breath of Life. It's a significant fact that the strong est animal of its size, the gorilla, also has the largest lungs. Powerful lungs means powerful creatures. How to keep the breathing organs right should be man's chief est study. Like thou sands of others, Mrs. Ora. A. Stephens, of Port Williams, O., has learned how to do this. She writes: ' Three bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery stopped my cough of two years and cured me of wnat my friends thought consumption. O, it's grand Tor throat and lung trou bles.
