Some of the finest farming lands in the State lie in Laurens county. There was eloquence unconfined in Greenwood Friday night. Government by injunction is becom ing popular in South Carolina. Suppose we send enlightened instead of instructed delegates to the Denver, convention. t Evangelist Cooper said over in Union the other day that he did not believe the devil had ever been in or into hell. To quiet our fears and allay our suspi cions we beg this good man to tell us the exact headquarters of His Satanic Majesty. Maybe Mr. Cooper did not conceive | this startling idea until he visited Union. What is the exact value, in terms of dollars and cents, of a kiss? The edi tors of the Branchville Journal and El berton Star are excused from answer ing. _ For an instance of old-fashioned, simon-pure newspaper laziness the fol-( lowing from The Greenville News is typical: "The first issue of the Picken? News, a weekly paper, has reached us. Mr. L. A. Watson is the editor. We extend the usual salutation in such matters." Candidate O. B. Martin says he was not mad when he attacked ex-Gov. Hey ward a few days ago. Just a case of "playing rough," as the boys used to say. Ah, well; let Mr. Martin have all the fun ho wants now, for after the election it may not be his turn to laugh. The glorious freedom of American democracy has its limitations?Uncle Joe Cannon being the principal limit. An Anderson man was trying to get a of bees to settle on a limb; in they settled on two?his legs. i't to kick. heart has bled for those cadets almost a month ||iing is about run down, [s have had'column upon [il pleas from fathers, Jers, sisters, the boys now comes a\ont^ D? family," as she signs herself. But we cannot feel assured yet- there may be others. The communication of "Justice" in another column should be read and heeded. Let "brisk, brassy, young America" take a back scat. There is a baseball catcher in the national league by the name of Hob ertail; what the fans call him is not hard to guess. It is not our purpose to "butt in," so wo merely propound a question: what will the city do with the old school building when the new one is completed? What is the matter with turning it into a hospital? The K tig's Daughters are working earnestly for a city hospital and it is entirely possible that some ar rangement could be effected whereby this valuable property could be turned to good account. This is a suggestion which we hope will be investigated by those in charge. A citizen remarked on the street the other day that the new Enterprise bank building looked very much out of place on account of its surroundings. Well, that is partly true for the present; but it will not bo very long now before the neighboring buildings will be made to feel perfectly at ease in company with this magnificent structure. W xtch. Those Anderson bees are evident accustomed to the use of "nice" lan guage. The fashion sheets say that slim ef fects in men's clothing will be the style this season. Things are coming our way at last; eh, Editor Cole? Our natural and unconquerable aver sion to profanity in print has thus far prevented an expression from us on the baseball situation in the South Atlantic League, but it is alright now; we nre resigned and converted at the same time. Hopes for Charleston have taken a skyward journey and our State pride and loyalty turn us to Columbia; and there's where we are hoping. Besides, the pluck of that team and the support of the city against all odds command respect. Here's an extra one for luck to the Chicks. The electric theatre in I/aureus is . doubly popular this week. CITIZEN, SOLDIER AND PRIEST. ^ The death of Bishop Ellison Capers Hp mourned throughout the State of ?Soiit.h Carolina and the Southland. As ? a soldier in defense of his country, men k.t.w and honoured him; as a citizen of this commonwealth, his fellows re spected and adnv'rcd him; and as a min I ;:f"rof God, iw'poople loved and re vered him. For forty years, after a f.iithful service in behalf of his home id, this good man labored in the cause of righteousness and for the uplifting of his fellotfmen; for fifteen years he was Bishop of the diocese of South Carolina, which honoured office he held at the time of his death. jL No higher tribute can be offered than lv say that Bishop Capers was a citizen, soldier and a priest. MA VOR CLARENCE BABB. Generally a public official comes in for a (rood share of roasting and Is knocked on ail sides; this is generally the case and sometimes it is just and right. A little gathering on the street is some: times a very potent force in the shaping of public affairs and sometimes even decides the fate of public servants. Juat here, if space permitted, we would deal in a little dissertation on these street gatherings that so often make or mar a man or an institution, but this discussion relates to Mayor Clarence M. >Babb and we confine it to such. It so happens that the popular head of the Laurens eity government was, inutead .of being adversely criticised, the object of unqualified praise. The time was Friday afternoon; place, in front of the hotel; persons, Col. T. p. Darlington et al. The words that at tracted our attention were these: "Clarence Babb is the dog-gone best mayor this town ever had." Of course we were shocked at the neajr approach to profanity on the part of Col. Dar lington, so \.e lingered close by for fear of a greater utburst, but nothing very serious happened. "Just look around here at the w rk going on in this town if you don't believe what I say," con tinued Col. Darlingtou. "During Mr. Babb's administration there has been an amount of work done on these streets here that can hardly be estimated or appreciated; the public property has been exceedingly well managed and thereby increased in value; the work of paving the square is at his instigation; the new residences and remodelling of dozens of houses is in consequence of the public improvements in the vicinity of the property; everything in the whole town is in a growing, progressing state because of the wise and aggres sive policy of the administration." Now this is what we call genuine praise and it will no doubt be so re garded by Mr. Babb and the city coun cil, who have been in hearty accord with the mayor. Laurens is to be con gratulated upon choosing men who know how to do things and who are not afraid to do them. The foregoing is said in no disparagement of former offi cials; of their administrations we know nothing, but we do say this much on our own responsibility: thoro is not a shadow of a doubt but that the policies of some former officials made it possi ble and easier for the good work which Mr. Babb is doing. DESTRUCTIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE. Commenting on the recent disagree ment between Editier? Rice and Hick son, of the Union Times, the Walter boro Press and Standard has the follow ing: "F. C. Hickson, who has for a short while been editor of the Union Times, has resigned because his views and those of the senior editor, L. M. Rice, did not coincide, and rather than be handicapped by writing according to Mr. Rice s views he resigned. This is right. If a man cannot lie a man then editing a newspaper is not his calling, and rather than submit to dictation as to what he shall write any self-respect ing editor should resign. But South Carolina journalism has lost a valuable writer." The foregoing is nerfectly sound in principle regarding manhood as a requi site qualification in editing a newspa per; yet its special application here is is that Editor Hickson's policy was right while possibly such was not al ways the case. From the newspaper accounts we judge that Editor Rice considered Mr. Hickson's editorial pol icy as "destructive." There are two ways of accomplishing good in public life, namely, first, by lauding the good that exists, with the hope that such commendation will increase and multi ply the good; second, by continuously attacking the evil with the hope of thereby destroying it. The latter is termed a "destructive" tear-down pol icy, and it seems such was the method of Editor Hickson, to which Mr. Rice objected. We have no doubt but that both edi tors were working sincerely for the cause of right in the work; they dif fered in methods. Which is right and which is wrong, if either, we dare not judge; but for our part we prefer the "constructive" methods and think that it accomplishes more good in the end. At Rankers' Convention. Laurens was well though not largely represented at the convention of State bankers in Columbia last Thursday and Friday. The attendants from this city were: Messrs. C. II. Roper, of the En terprise Bank; and Mr. O. B. Simmons, ofjthe Bank of Laurens. Attention, Democratic Clubs. The presidents of the several Demo cratic clubs are notified to call their re spective clubs together on Saturday, 25th inst., for the purpose of re-organ izing and to elect officers, and to ap point Ute several committees, and to elect delegates to the county conven tion that meets on the first Monday in May next. The basis of representation is one delegate for every twenty-five members and one delegate for n ma jority fraction thereof. R. A. COOPER, County Chm'n. W. T. CREWS, Sec'y.

This is one Laurens woman's testi mony. Mrs. Lucy Tucker. 23 Mill Row, Lau rens, S. ('., says: "For several years I suffered more or less from kidney trou ble. My back ached a great deal and I had rheumatic twinges in my sides. Headaches often bothered me and at times I was so weak and run down that I could hardly do my house work. Be lieving that all these troubles arose from disordered kidneys and having heard Doan's Kidney Pills highly spoken of for such complaints I bought a box at the Palmetto Drug Co. Since using them I have improved in every way and 1 have no hesitancy in saying that I be lieve them to be the best kidney remedy to be had." For sale by all dealers. Price GO contd.

Fditor Advertiser: To attend Memorial services and the average Confederate reunion of today, very forcibly reminds one of this fine old play of Shakespeare being rendered, with the main characters left out; "Hamlet, with no Hamlet in it". If a luncheon is given In honor of our brave old veterans of the "lost cause;" to these men who bore the "Bannerof the liars" aloft through the four years of terrible civil war; they are crowded back from the table by brisk, brassy young America. If an address is made on these occasions, the best seats are occupied and the gentle, quiet, gray haired old heroes are crowded back into just any seat they can get, while people who were born long since those days of conflict, fill the scats to which they have no right. Should this order of things be allowed? If so, then the name of the occasion should be changed. Each year the ranks of the men who wore the gray are growing thinner; they are fast responding to the "Roll call up yonder;" if we propose a "Memorial Day" in honor of the living and the dead Veterans, then let us observe it . right.

Fishburneof Charleston, candidate for Railroad Commissioner. Capt. Fishburne is making a thorough canvas of the State in the interest of his candidacy, having alreadv visited -? me tuw-country towns and is now in the Piedmont; ho is a thorough canvasser, a genial high-toned gentle man, and a man of no small mental ability. While in Laurens he met a number of representative citizens who were very favorably impressed and so expressed themselves. Mr. Fishburne has met with much encouragement so far and feels assured of winning in the election this fall. Both the other com missioners reside in the Piedmont and there are many who contend that the lower section of tho State is entitled to one at least. Capt. Fishburne is a member of one of the best families in South Carolina; is an excellent business man, thoroughly honest and honorable; and if he is elected we have no fears but that he will serve the State well and faithfully. ??One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin." When a rooster finds a big fat worm he calls all the hens in the farm yard to come and share it. A similar trait of human nature is to be observed when a man discovers something ex ceptionally good; he wants all his friends and neighbors to share the benefits of his discovery. This is the touch of nature that makes tho whole world kin. This explains why people who have been cured by Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy write letters to the manufacturers for publication that others similarly ailing may also use it and obtain relief. Behind every one of these letters is a warm-hearted wish of the writer to be of use to some one else. This remedy is for sale by Laurens Drug Co. Notice.
