Are we going to halt in building up Laurens? This is a good year for now industrial movements. Our banks and factories are doing well. If anyone would lead in building a new mill we would like to help a little. The town has plenty of good business men who have succeeded, and who could take advantage of opportunities to create industries that would help the community and the country. SHOULD BE GRANTED. If wo had a vote in tho Legislature we should be afraid to cast it against granting the appropriation of ten thou sand dollars for the prosecution of the persons accused of dishonesty in con nection with the late State dispensary, even if we believed they were inno cent. Every man under charges who knows that he is innocent would naturally de rive and demand that the Ltate he re fined in the prosecution by no lack funds. No innocent man seeks to whitewashed. We can conceive of eason that can be offered against the appropriation worthy of considera tion by a candid man. AN ABLE AND SOUND SPEECH. The address of Senator Tillman to the members of the General Assembly ist. Thursday was the soundest and boat that we have heard him make at any time, and we have heard him de liver dozens of speeches since he spoke in the old Academy Grove (now Mr. N. B. Dial's place) here in 1887 or 1888. Perhaps we liked the Columbia address because it expressed our sentiments ? sentiments that we have expressed time and time again for years. As to immigration the senator said that, with the negroes in a large ma jority in South Carolina, we must have more white men. Therefore, he be lieved that the State should give assist ance in money, not standing on the amount, to efforts to induce white set tlers. He prefers immigrants from Northern Europe, but by implication he said that we would be lucky to get white men to come here from any part of the world, though he had no special liking for the people of Southeastern Europe. If Congress aids in irrigating the dry lands of the West, it should aid in reclaiming the swamp lands of the South, making them attractive to set tlers. Discussing the federal constitution amendments that enfranchise the ne gro, he a\'gued that the Southern States should unite in a movement to bring about their repeal, declaring that, af ter lecturing in all the States of the Union, he had found that no prejudice against the South lingered in the North ern mind except a little in a few per sons of the older generation. Tho Northern veterans of the war, as a rule, are friendly to the South. From observation, during a brief residence in the North some years ago, we are pre pared to agree exactly with the sena tor's report, and we can see no harm that would follow an effort by the JSouth to obtain the relief that the senator adviaes. Certainly, as the sena tor remarked, the amendments will not be repealed unless we ask it. With the exception of his reference to the war amendments, everything that the senator said has been said be fore, and often in late years. His im migration argument was made about three years ago by Col. George John Btone, of Newberry. But that has nothing to do with the case. The sena tor presented the matter in his best ty e. It was a broad, strong, vigor u address, and it was bottomed op a comprehensive view of the interests of the Southern white people, not only of this but of future generations. We wish that he would repeat the address in every county in South Carolina.

Conductor Philpot, of Columbia, was injured yesterday morning in a wreck which occurred on the Southern, near Trenton. A freight train from Colum bia to Augusta was wrecked one mile this side of Trenton, fourteen cars be ing derailed and a number of them go ing over an embankment. Seven of the cars were fl'led with coal, which neces sitated about 10 hours to clear tho tracks for other trains. Stato, 21th Captain J. M. Philpot, Conductor Philpot's father, reports that his son was badly bruised, but sustained no serious injuries. This news was a great relief to the many Laurens friends of this popular young man. We believe that we have one of the cleanest subscription lists of any county paper in tht State that has not a paid in-advance subscription, but there are some in arrears.

His Experience Was a 8ad One, aa Ha Managed to Make aa Enemy Every Time Ha Mat a Former Friend?A Climax and a Naw Reso lution. After thinking It over for a long time tills man decided that he would abjure all social cajolery. Ho made up his udud to cut out all white lies and to give utterances to uothlng but the truth. He expected to have some difficulty in doing this. lie well knew that the truth often had a harsh ring. But he made up hla mind that he was going to lead his own lite, nnd In the pursuit of that purpose ho would let nothing but the naked truth escape bis Hps. And so he put his purpoao to stick to the undraped truth Into operation one morning Inst summer. As he pasaed out of the Aat vestibule on his way to the subway n man of his ac qualntanco in the apartment building greeted him pleasantly. "Sumptuous morning, eh?" sakl the neighbor cheerily. "I do not consider it a aumptuoua morning," replied the truth teller. "I consider It too hot." Tho flat neighbor looked gomewbat chagrined over this brusque reply, but he made a new start. "Somehow or another I always feel batter In hot weather than I do when It's chilly," he said. "I even take on weight during the dog days. I guess, anyhow, I'm feellug particularly well, because I'm convalescent from that bad dose of typhoid fever. D'ye over see a fellow come around more quick ly after getting on his feet from ty phoid thnt; I have?" "Yep," promptly replied the man, de termined to tell the truth. "I do not think your recovery has been very rapid. I have seen typhoid patients pick up much more rapidly." "Say, d'ye mean to say that I'm not looking bully for a fellow that's been through the siege I have?" Inquired Ibe flat neighbor, a trace of annoyance In his tone. "In my opinion you look very poor ly," replied the truth teller, with a ntcrn determination not to be swerved. "Huh! (Jot kind of a grouch on this morning, hey?" snld the flat neighbor as he passed on down the steps. On the subway train the truth teller caught a Beat alongside another man of his acquaintance. "Say, old man," began this acquaint ance expansively, "did I tell you what that two-year-old kid o' mine said when I put on a pair of white duck trousers the other morning?" "No, you did not," briefly replied the truth teller, with the air of somebody profoundly bored. "Well," said the acquaintance, "ho said?ha! ha!?makes me laugh just to think of it! You've heard that young un of mine get off those funny things, haven't you? Just about the smartest chap for Ids years on earth, don't you think?" "I do not think so," replied the truth teller out of hand. "I have heard many children of bis age say tho same sort of things, which their parents con sidered humorous, but in which I nev er was able to discern a particle of humor." "Huh! What's that?" flared up the truth teller's acquaintance. "Say, you got out of your bunk on the wrong side this morning." And tho acquaintance, sorely affronted, moved over to the op posite crosswise scat. As he left the subway to make his otllce the truth teller met nu elderly woman whose daughter Is in Europe studying singing. "Ob, how de do?" said the elderly woman effusively. "I've just had a letter from my dearest child, aud she Is getting on so famously with her singing. She's In Paris, you know. She'll be back in two years now, and what a furore she Is bound to create on the concert stage, don't you think?" "Well, I'd hardly venture to predict that," said the truth teller, with dog ged resolution. "Wha-wha-what!" fairly gasped tho astonished mother of the dearest child. "Do you mean to say that"? "I grieve to be compelled to tell you that I really never found much delight Ir. listening to the singing of tho young lady, thoroughly appreciative as I am of her many amiable and engaging qualities," declared the truth teller. "Why, 3'off surely have been drink ing!" acridly snapped the elderly wo man, and she gave her parasol a flour ish ond went her way In obvious dudgeon. "Hello, there, old pal!" breezily ex claimed one of the truth teller's old time business acquaintances, dropping In upon him at his otllce during tho forenoon. "Say, I just put on this milt of clothes at my tailor's. All tho candy, hey?" "I don't like It," promptly replied the man with tho new determination. "How's that?" inquired the old friend, visibly ehapfallen. "Well, that's sure brief nnd right to the point. Don't like It, hey?Just llko that. Well, out with It then. What tho dickens Is the mutter with tho mess o' togs, according to your view?" "I think tho material of the suit is too loud and young for n man of your nge," said the truth teller, sticking to his guns. "Well, dang my eyes," broke out the old friend, his face crimsoning, "If that isn't a wallop! Say, d'ye mean to tell me thnt I'm going around trying to look young and gaydogglsh aud cut uppish, hey?" "Thnt," replied the truth teller, "Is the only Impression one could derive from an examination of the suit of clothes you are wearing." The old friend stared at the truth teller. "Well, I'll tell you one thlug, my friend," he said frigidly after a pause. "You need a rest and a change of some kind. There's something wrong with you, that's a cinch." And thus about avery fifteen min utes during the long day the truth teller made some new enemy. On his way home that evening the truth teller had his pet corn acciden tally stepped upon by a man hurrying to get n subway seat "You'll pardon me, IJiopo," said the man who inflicted the damage, turning about most politely. "No, sir," firmly replied the truth teller. "I shall not pardon you, I do not feel in the least inclined to pardon you. 1 resent your clumsiness?resent it keenly. I should be expressing nn untruth if I told you that I pardoned you." "Why, you Infernal pulp nut of a dried up curmudgeon, you," angrily sold the man, grabbing the truth teller ?

"I've a great mind to take a swing at you just for luck, and I would for less than two cents If you didn't look like Borne blaBted shriveled dyspeptic that didn't know any better? talking to a white man like that!" The truth teller left the subway at his station, shook himself together, and, tho great white light beginning to j shine upon and percolate through him, he made a new resolution. "From now on," he mumbled to him self, "I'm going to outstrip them all in lying."?New York Cor. Philadelphia North American.

Iu tho autobiography of Sir Henry Roscoo there Is a capital example of the nbsentmludedness qf Bunsau, the great German scientist. He had had his evening clothes put out that he might attend a card- party to wldch he had been invited, but for got all about it until the next morning, when his man pointed out that tho evening clothes had not been worn. And then he remarked to himself, "I know what I'll do." That evening he put on his dress clothes, went to the lady's house at tho appointed thno and walked in as if it were the day upon which ho had been invited. Tho host ess, much too polite to tell htm that he had mistaken the evening and that the party had taken place on the previous night, seut to her friends asking them to come in to play a rubber again. They did so. In tho course of the even ing Pie conversation turned on absent mindedness, and Dunsen began to tell them what had happened to him a long time ago?how that he had for gotten an Invitation and how he had made up his mind to go tho next night ?and thus he told the party the whole story, forgetting altogether that he was giving them an account of what was happening at the very moment. Brought to Terms. In tho Drayton household It Is said that the father of the family has a way of presenting alternatives to his children that never falls to bring them into line. "I wish you would speak to Bobby," said Mrs. Drayton one night "I've told him to take his medicine and then jump Into bed, and he won't do It. Ho Just hops around and says ho doeBn't want to take tho medicine and ho doesn't want to go to bed." Mr. Drayton stepped to the door of Bobby's room and stood there, tall, grave and impressive. "Bobby," he said firmly, "if you don't take your medicine at once and then jump into bed you will be put to bed, do you hear me, put to bed, without having your medicine at all." Upon which Bobby, alarmed and con fused, swallowed his allotted portion and meekly retired for the night.? Youth's Companion. "Scouring the Land."

A combi nation of lead and zinc in proper proportion, it is superior to any paint made of lead alone. Hand made paints mixed in a can and stirred with a stick cannot produce results like Mastic Mixed Paint, "The Kind that Lasts," Ground and re-ground by powerful machinery which therefore produces a smoother, glossier and more beautiful finish, covers more surface and resists the elements better. The cost of putting on poor paint is just as much as for putting on MASTIC PAINT that does not have to be re newed every year or so. The saving is all in favor of MASTIC PAINT.
