C. as second class mail matter. LAURENS, S. C, April 4, 1906. WHAT PROHIBITION WILL DO. This is from the Spartanburg Herald: "The figures that have been printed from time to time of the jug shipment to Spartanburg via the Express com {iany, while it may signify that other lungs than water are imbibed here, should not be construed as meaning that blind tigers are flourishing. This is not the case. It is extremely doubt ful if there is any city of the size of Spartanburg anywhere, which has pro hibition or restrictive measure as to the sale of liquor, where the law is more rigidly enforced, or where there is a more salutary restraint on illicit traffic ing in 'booze than here. The mayor and the city police co-operate heartily and vigorously with the local constab ulary in repressing liquor selling, and not a guilty man escapes, where the case is clearly made out.The rumor that there are a half dozen tiger3 in Spar tanburg is an exaggeration. The police and the state constables are unable to locate one." There are a few persons who imagine that prohibition in Spartanburg and in Laurens will cause the drinking of whiskey to cease but they are persona lacking in ordinary intelligence. So long as whiskey can be imported from Augusta and elsewhere some will be imported?in fact a good deal. But does any man think it will bo as easy to import whiskey as to send a negro across the street to the countv dispensary and buy it? Will the negro laborers generally im port whiskey from Augusta in anything like the qualities that they buy it fron the Dispensary? Even though a few sneaking tigers manage to live, the amount of whiskej consumed will be vastly decreased. But there must be no "tigers" wher we have prohibition. Mayor Richej and Chief Bagwell and his assistants will keep them out of this town. Thej are kept out of Spartanburg and Gaff ney. * THE LATE MR. A. H. MARTIN. The late Mr. Ambrose H. Martin was a loyal friend and he was not to b( shaken from his beliefs. He was s rarely shrewd man,?a man of pene trating mind and one about as diffi cult to fool with any kind of sham as any likely to be encountered. He was blessed with a fund of dry humor anc he was good company. He was modest and did not ask favors of the public but he contributed of his means tc building mills and other establishments and so he assisted his fellow citizens, He brought up a large family well, he was devoted to his Church and he met his obligations promptly. There was no pretense in his composition. More over, he was a man of individuality; though he had not a college education he had a quaint way of saying things that made them stick. He will be long remembered and we wish that Lau rens could have more like him. To the writer he was always an interesting man, he was one of our friends and we honor his memory and mourn that he has gone. ? THE PROPOSED NEW COUNTY. Commenting on remarks of The Ad vertiser about the proposed new county The Columbia Record says: "There possibly may be one or two counties in the State too large for the convenience of a large part of the popu lation, but the general condition is otherwise. The desire for office is too often the motive back of the agitation for new counties." In 1875 the distance from this town to the nearest railway station was 30 miles. In 1906 every section of this county is within fairly convenient dis tance of a railway except perhaps Sullivan township. That section is not very far from the Columbia and Green ville Road but the Saluda is a barrier. A new county would not help it. In the winter of 1881 a Laurens jury man dwelling within a mile of Fountain Inn required from four to six hours to come to the court house. In 1906 that juryman makes the trip in thirty min utes. In 1881 no telephone lines made quick communication to most of this county possible. Mail was carried twice or three times the week to farmers in stead of daily. In 1881 there were no free rural delivery routes. In other words, in the old days when travel and communication were arduous and slow the arguments for small coun ties, all points of which would be close to the court house in or near the cen ter, were strong. Improvements in these matters have removed about ninety per cent and left about ten per cent of the force of the new county ar gument. The Fountain Inn man lives closer to Laurens now than the Thomas's Cross Roads man used to live?much closer. Both are in talking distance now. Thomas's Cross Roads had better claims to be the center of a county in 1880 than Fountain Inn has now. If Fountain Inn should become a court house town it and the country surrounding would be one of the richest in proportion to and if not the richest of the counties in South Carolina.? Therefore it should be respectable from the start. The county should have a court house and jail equal at best to those of Spartanburg and Greenville. Therefore Fountain Inn should be will ing to invest at least $75,000 to $100,000 in these buildings and other county in stitutions. A $25,000 court house would be unworthy of such a counly. To build it would be a waste, for after a few years the people, ashamed of it, would tearSt^down and build another. Modern publi&vbuildings cost money. The new cou/t house in Sumter is to to-.it about $75,000, including the lot, wc believe, and the Camdenjcoui t house is to cost $40,000. Times have changed in the*e matters since Greenwood and Gaffney became court house towns. If Fountain Inn aspires to be a county seat all right, but Fountain Inn should not make a cheap bid. Let the town and the people do the thing right, taxes or no taxes, from the beginning. Seventy-five thousand dollars will macadamize three highways for a dis tance of eight miles from Fountain Inn. The extra expense of running u new county would perhaps build five miles of permanent road each year. If Fountain Inn people and the people in the proi>osed new county territory j must have their new county they must have it. We would regret this step because we think that at this time and in that locality a new county would be a waste of money?but wo would not interfere if we could. Neverthe less, we are sure that the shrewd, level-headed men of the best rural communities in Laurens, Greenville und Spartanburg Counties will consider well and not be led into hasty action. A new county will cost money?not one year but forever and all through the years. In this instance, is it worth the money? One other point: a court house and a| jail do not constitute a city. The court house town is not the leading town oven in all the counties of this State. In such counties as Dorchester, Chesterfield and York the court house towns are smaller than Cheraw, Sum merville and Rock Hill. In Oconce, Pickens, Lexington, Beaufort, Wil liamsburg, Barnwell, Edgefield and Marion the court house towns have lit tle advantage over other towns within their borders. A few years ago Clinton wished to have a court house but was too close to Laurens for a constitutional county to be carved out. Meanwhile Clinton's population has como to be nearly as large as that of Laurens. Fountain Inn town might pay dearly for a whistle or buy a gold brick. A hundred years ago a court house was a good stake to build a town around. In these days a mill or college is bettor and pays larger dividends. * (The following communication, by accident, remained in the post offce ? here, until too late to publish in last i week's Advertiser:) AS TO JUDGE THOMPSON. The Herald of last week contains this card from "Non-Factional:" "Now that the candidates have be gun to-announce for the different of I fices would it not be well to suggest ; that Judge O. G. Thompson, who has ? been a faithful public servant in deed as well as in name, be allowed to suc ceed himself as, in all probability, be cause of declining health, he will not be a candidate again. This is said in no disparagement of others, but in simple justice to the public. But few men in public life have had so little friction in the administration of law. In view of ! his ago and the chances of physical de i clinc, many people, without regard to , faction, would like to see this faithful public servant given another term with out opposition. It would be a compli 1 ment well deserved, and a graceful act i to an efficient officer and a battlc I scarred veteran to let him go over with out opposition." I wish I could have signed my name i to the card under "Non-Factional." I i am writing as a former Laurens man, not as a newspaper man. I do not know ! who, if any one, will offer against ; Judge Thompson and I have always i been opposed to him in politics but for the reasons given by "Non-Factional" and because he was a brave soldier I guess I would vote for him this year if I could have the opportunity. The former factional differences ought not to have cut any figure in the election of county officers except legis lators. What matters it whether a "Tillmanite" or an "Anti" or Prohibi tionist or Dispensary man be the officer to pass on the validity of wills? A high license man may be as good a clerk of court as a Dispensary man or a "Has kellite" might be as good a sheriff as a "Conservative" or a "Tillmanite" might or might not have proved better than either. The truth is that the less active in politics an administrative or judicial officer is, the more efficient he is likely to be. Judge Thompson has proved his efficiency and we hope that Laurens county will always choose good men regardless of their factional or former factional alignments. W. W. Bali., Charleston, S. C.

Paint to your church whenever they paint. The largest Methodist church in Geor-! gia expected to use 100 gallons of the usual kind of paint, they only used 32 gallons L & M. mixed with 24 gallons Linseed Oil. It costs less to paint a house with L. & M. thjm with other paint, because painter mixes Linseed Oil fresh from the barrel at 60 c>nts a gallon with L. & M., and doesn't nay $1.50 per "gallon for Linseed Oil as done if ready-for-use Saint is used.
