A year ago TlIB Advertiser sugges ted the formation of a Laurens County historical society but no one seconed the motion. We offer the motion again. This era of prosperity in Laurens County should not pass without the construction of some good roads. Some day we shall have hard times again and good roads make then easy to get over. ^^flpator Tillman is now rearing in his jfo nobody has been proaecu HHling the State of South ^Tjaroin^^rnrough the State dispensary. ^Had this Tillman when Governor caused the early violators of the law to be prosecuted there might bo a slate dis pensary now. Everybody knows that Oovernor Tillman took no pains to en force the law against defaulting county dispensers and everybody knows that as Governor he was not distinguished for insisting on the prosecution of criminals of any kind. The annual expenses of the city government of New York are now about as great as were the annual ex penses of the government of the United States when Mr. Hayes was president. Of course the larger part of New York's public money raised by taxation is stolen by corrupt officials. The pco pele of New York are able to endure the terrific strain because they have mastered the art of robbing the rest of the country. When a man goes to New York nowadays he expects to be robbed and submits to it like a gentle man. THE ANTI-COCAINE LAW PROSECUTIONS The druggists in Columbia charged with selling cocaine in violation of the law should be vigously prosecuted and, if they are guilty, they should not be allowed to escape punishment, through any technical defeat which may be re sorted to for their defence. The legis lature when it enacted the law recog nized the dreadful evil o'f selling cocaine to persons who do not need it for medical purposes and the intent of the law is fully understood by all pharma cists. Attorney General Lyon long ago gave it his opinion that the law forbade the sale of the drug in all forms. Generally the drug store man fully knows when a customer wishes a poisonous substance for legitimate purposes and it is not likely that the anti-cocaine law has been violated in ignorance or in innocence. LIEN LAW AGAIN. Before the legislature meets in Jan uary, it would be wise for farmers of Laurens County who are opposed to the lien law to write or to speak to mem bers of the Senate and the house urging them to vote in favor of the law's repeal. That a bill to repeal the law will most certainly be introduced and we believe and hope that it will pass but farmers everywhere should give their representatives encouragement to vote for it. Representative John Rich ards of Kershaw endeavored to get through a repeal at the last session and almost succeeded. Since the adjourn ment of the legislature Judge Brawley', decision adverse to the labor contract law has greatly strenghtend the argu ment for repeal and, indeed, it is now more than ever a necessity. Should Mr.s Richard introduce his bill again it should meet with little or no opposition but in the meantime, it will be well for employers of labor to inform the mem bers of the legislature of their views in regard to it. I.ante Back. This is an ailment for which Cham berlain's Pain Balm has proven espec ially valuable. In almost every instance it. affords prompt and permanent relief. Mr. Luke LaGrange of Orange, Mich., aays of it: "After using a plaster and other remedies for three weeks for a bad lame back, I purchased a bottle of w- ' Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and two an imations effected a cure." For sale y Laurens Drug Co. PERTINENT QUESTION. That Can Be Answered Greatly to our Advantage. Uniquenss is the strongest recomcn dation for the hill of fare circular re cently issued by the new Chamber of (k>mmerce but it fails to whet the ap petite of the investor sufficiently. The following are some of the questions that would he submitted by prospective settlers: What are your inducemnms for in vestors? Do you offer for sale desirable lots or factory sites? State the price? What is the bonded indebtedness of ' your town? Specify the taxes on improved and unimproved property? What enterprises not yet established in your judgement would yield fair re sults for the money invested? Are your municipal affairs in the bands of ultra-conservatives or is there a public spirit manifest in the manage ment willing, if ncedbo, to sacrifice personal interest for the upbuilding of Laurens? These are questions that if answered satisfactorily will have a tendeoy to press the button and set. in motion the wheel of modern progress on the banks of Little River. Censor. Laurens, S. C, Sept. 4th, 19o7. THE LAURENS NEWSPAPERS. Dr. Jacobs Pays High Pr* ? to Industry and Literary Ability Displayed. We have recently been much inter ested by a survey of the contents of the various county weekly papers that come to this office and have been much struck with the amount of editorial matter that some of them contain. Take the Laurensville Herald as an instance. It is published in our own county. We understand that Mr. Grenekcr is its editor, or one of them, and that he is responsible for the full page of editorial that appears every week under the head of local. 11 is good reading too, for the editor evi dently has a conception of what makes good reading. Of course the Laurersville Herald is not the only one. The Advertiser published in the same town deserves the same high ecomiums. The review of the weekly papers that we receive would show up well for the versatility, the industry and literary ability of the country editor. How these papers are ever published for a dollar a year and that on a necessarily i.inull subscription and consequent small advertising patronage is more than we can conceive.? Our Monthly. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy One of the Best on the Market. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has constantly gained in favor and popularity until it is now one of the most staple medicines in use and has an enormous sale. It is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases, such as coughs, colds and croup, and can always be depended up on. It is pleasant and safe to take and is undoubtedly the best in the market for ..he purposes for which it is intend ed. Sold by Laurens Drug Co. The Advertiser is one of the best county weekly newspapers in this or any other state. It will coat you only $1 a year. Each issue will cost you less than a 2 cent postage stamp. Cat Harper. The Mail Rider. Tumbling Shoals, September 7.? We arc sorry to lose our old star route rider, Cal Harper. He has given us faithful service on our mail route for the last twenty years. He was as regular as a clock. Rain or shine, snow or beat wo looked for Cal to drive up on the hour. We will miss him in other ways be sides mail matters. How will the ladies get their eggs, butter and chickens to market? And their needles, pins and buttons from Laurens? The men, too, wanted somtething every day, from a piece of bacon up to a little colic cure. Harper did a sight of ac comoadation work on this line, besides that for for which he was well remun j erated. Good-by Cal, we wish you I luck on your new job. William D. Sullivan. Worked Like A Charm. Mr. D. N. Walker, edP.or of that spicy journal, the Enterprise, Louisa, Va., says: "I ran a nail in my foot last week and at once applied Buck lin's Arnica Salve. No inflammation followed; the salve simply healed the wound." Heals, every sore, burn and skin disease. Guaranteed at Laurens Drug Co., and Palmetto Drug Co. Price 25 cents. Subscribe to The Advertiser and bring the first issue that is not worth a 2 cent stamp to our office and we will refund the whole amount of your sub scription. The Confederate Monument. A meeting was held on salesday last by the sons and daughters of Veterans, in the interest of the Confederate Monument that is soon to be erected on the public square of our city, near the Court house. It was decided that committees be appointed to begin at once raising funds for this purpose. Mrs. Robert Bell was requested to ap point these committees in each town ship, to notify them and ask their co operation. This monument is to be a well de served tribute of honor and esteem to both the surviving Veterans of the Civil war and to those who gave their lives, in Hospitals and on battle fields to our loved South-land. Almost every family has representatives in this noble band of heroes and we are assured that all will esteem it, not only a duty but a privilcdge to assist in this work. Nearly all the counties in our and other states, have already erected monuments to our heroes: shall Laurens continue behind? No we are certain it will not. Central Committee: Mrs. Sarah Ball Copeland, Miss Bessie Roland, Miss Bulah Balle, Miss Lillian Irby, Mrs. Robert Bell, Chairman, John Cannon, John P. Bolt, H. K. Aikcn, H. Y. Simpson. How to Remain Young. To continue young in health and strength, do as Mrs. N? F. Rowan, Mc Donough, Ga., did, She says: "Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured me of chronic liver and stomach trouble, com plicated with such an unhealthy condi tion of blood that my skin turned red as flannel. I am now practically 20 years younger thnn before I took Elec tric Bitters. I can now do all my work with ease and assist in my husband's store." Guaranteed at Laurens Drug Co., and Palmetto Drug Co. Price 50 cents. Eight pounds of cotton will pay for The Advertiser for one year. LOSE ALL BY FIRE. Former l.aurcns Citizen Sustain Hire Losses in Columbia. Fire last night at 10 o'clock destroyed the residences of Ernest D. and W. Capers Harrell, of 2-112 and 241G Laurel street. The tire was in Waverly and, although out of the city, Chief May, of the fire department, lent a helping hand, by having a steady stream of wa ter turned on tho fire. Both houses were worth about $2,500 and were in sured tor $1,500. The origin of the fire Is unknown.- Columbia Record, Sept., 5. Mr. W. E. Harrell, who resided in Laurens for a number of years, occu pied one of the dwellings that was burned, and it is understood that he lost all of his household furnishings, as did tho other members of tho Harrell family residing in the second house. Be Sure and call at our store one day from Sept. 23rd to 28th. Don't miss it. S. M. & E. H. Wilkcs & Co. AS TO A NEW COURT HOUSE. [Communicated. ] The arguments for a new Court house do not appear convincing at this time from the of view of the town. Whatever the objections to the present bulling in the matter of con venience, it can't be contended,thnt it is not handsome. One may inspect num bers of new Court houses in South Carolina towns and conclude that the architecture of our building is perhaps more pleasing than is that of any of them. Tho removal of the Court house would not improve the appearance of the public square. The Court house should be enclosed with an ornamental iron or chain fence and the ground around the building set in grass. This has been urged by Thk Advertiser, for tne last 15 years and if it were done the Square would be beautiful. Were the Court house gone the Square would still be ugly unless it were put in grass and shrubbery. In our opinion a new site and building worthy of th?? county could not be pro vided for less than $50,000. or $75,000. The site of the present Court House could not be sold so as to realize any considerable sum of money. Why should the town buy it? If the objection be to the present county oflices, it might be expedient to erect a building for public records, to contain the oflices of the clerk and reg ister of mesne conveyance, judge of probate and treasurer and auditor, etc. This could be done for perhaps $15,000. Plenty of room in the present building would remain for other offices. Spartanburg built a new Court House about 12 years ago. It cost $75,000 at least but its court room is not as large or as good as that in our Court House. Seventy five thousand dollars would build 20 miles of macadam road We need that more than we need u Court house. Biscuits baked right in throe minutes every day during the week from Sept. 23rd to 28th. S. M. & E. II. Wilkes & Co. Union Meeting, 4th Division.

Mrs. Emily Thompson Griffin "fell asleep in June" at one o'clock 14th., of August, 1007 at the home of her son-in law, Mr. George M. Davis, Laureus Co. S. C. Early in life she professed Christ and united with the Warrior Creek Baptist Church. She was more than half century an earnest, consis tant Christian, and made it tho "chief end of her life to Gloryfy God"?Hav ing so lived, Death had no terrors for her. She met it as calmly as if making any change in life saying?"It is all right, I am perfectly resigned to the will of God and am prepared for the change"?"I don't care to live longcr I am Raved not through merit of my own, but by the blood of Christ my Sa vior." These and other expressions of a like nature fell from her dear quivering lips as she patiently bore intense sull'uring many days without a murmur, and she is now "in the palace of the King." Such a life is worthy of emulation and the world is better for he r having lived. Ah! would that this might bo as truly said of more of us, Being a true Christian, she was a good wife, step-mother, mother and friend. True to her trust in every instance "she fought a good fight she kept the faith and has now entered into the joys of her Lord. Mrs. Griffin was twice married. First to Mr. Duff Gary who lingered with his young bride only two short months before sacrificing his life for his coun try. A beautiful son from this mar riage died at 7 years of age. Her second marriage was to Maj. Richard L. Griflin, a man of stearling worth and deep piety. Together they worked earnestly and well for the Mas ter's cause. Maj, Griffin died many years ago leaving her a widow with 4 sons and a daughter whom she succeed ed in rearing in the fear and admoni tion of the Lord. Her sons are, Mr. John King Griffin of Tonn. Mr. Thomas Jones Griffin of Fit/, Gerald, Ga., Mr. Collet L. Griffin who died some years ago, and Mr. Will C. Griffin of Greenville, S. C. One daughter, Mrs. George M. Davis of Clinton, S. C. Besides there is a most devoted step-daughter, Mrs. John T. Robertson to whom she had taken the place of "Mother" since she was seven years of age, and who joins her broth ers and sister in sincerely mourning the death of this consecrated woman. Of her it can he truly said, "None know her but to love her, None name her but to praise." We will give free $7.50 worth of ware at our store during the week from Sept. 23rd to 28th.
