WHY IS THE ADVERTISER?
Entering as we are upon the twenty
fourth year of The Advertiser's publi
cation the occasion warrants a few per
sonal remarks and questions. On Au
gust the fifteenth, 1885, this paper was
brought into existence and has been is
sued continuously since that time, each
year bringing new and added prosperity
and enlarged patronage. Encouraged
by these condition.; we are led to be
lieve that the paper lias always striven
to fulfill the work of a NEWSPAPER
and accomplish the purpose of its
founding, and SUCCESS is the reward
of this effort.
Then WHY is The Laurens Adver
tiser? In the first place it was begun
and is now conducted as a wealth-pro
ducing enterprise to make money.
Business men work for returns, not
wholly for the love of work; love of
work will not finance an undertaking.
To make money the owners of The Ad
vertiser are furnishing a commodity for
which there is a demand, namely, a
newspaper. Thev are supplying an ar
ticle which the people buy ?THAT'S
BUSINESS.
The next thought is prompted by the
preceding: Why do the people buy this
article supplied by this particular cor
poration? Because it comes up to the
requirements for a NEWSPAPER. A
newspaper is an organ for the dissemi
ination of the news of its territory, for
the expression of views relating to pub
lic matters and a medium of communi
cation among the various branches of
industry. The Advertiser is the county
paper of Laurens, its territory circum
scribed by the county boundary lines;
it carries the news of Cross Hill to
Lanford, of Clinton to Princeton, and
so on. Why is The Advertiser? Be
cause iL disseminates the news of Lau
rens county.
The second function of a newspaper
? the expression of editorial opinions
is none the less important and quite as
much in demand. Discussion of mat
ters pertaining to the public, advocacy
of enterprises that will aid and promote
the public good, condemnation of wrong,
opposition to all forces, movements ami
institutions that tend to degrade or im
pair expressions, we say, upon all
these matters are demanded by the
reading public, and the paper is judged
and appraised according to its attitude
on such subjects. The Advertiser's
record speaks for itself, Glancing
over the files of the years past we
find that this paper has not-failed to
express itself on public matters, lias
always been the advocate of good en
terprises, suggesting new movements,
encouraging the maintenance of all in
stitutions for the uplift of the people,
striving to promote the interests of j
farmer, merchant, banker and profes- '
sional man. It has NOT SOUGHT to
ARRAY the INTERESTS Of its COM
MUNITY one AGAINST the other.
It has unfalteringly denounced what it
deemed detrimental to the public weal
or whoever advocated such; it has not
been the champion of any men or insti
tutions that feed vulture-like on the
public wealth Or whose business was to
degrade or debauch the public mind and
morals. Its influence has not been lent
to the propagation of fraudulent, dis
honest schemes; it has condemned such,
Why is The Advertiser? Because its
editorial policy has been for the better
ment and advancement of the commu
nity.
As a medium of communication for
the various business interests in Lau
rens this paper's power may be esti
mated by noting the advertisements,
notices, announcements and such like
that appear in its pages from time to
time. Not being engaged in the task
of arraying farmer against merchant,
or both against banker, the value of
advertising will) us has been recognized
and our patronage is evidence in fact
that this department of the paper is on
equality with the others.
WHY IS Till'! ADVERTISER? BE
CAUSE IT IS STRIVING EARNEST
LY, FAITHFULLY AND HONEST
LY TO FULFILL THE MISSION OF
A NEWSPAPER.
Who will we send to the legislatur
The three best men in the race?
KEEP YOUR TEMPER.
Some days ago \vc received a com
munication from a correspondent, and
a good friend of this paper he is, too,
expressing his and his friends' thanks
to us for exposing the schemes used by
the Blcase workers in Laurens county
and giving the records on such matters.
For these expressions we are deeply
grateful; our actions were prompted by
motives of SERVICE to our people
and the desire to give them CORRECT
information on the subject of negro
notaries. We are glad our efforts are
appreciated.
Rut our good friend goes on to say:
"The trick wap a mean one" (referring
to the methods used to boost Please
and injure Ansel); "give them 11A11.
COLUMBIA. If you let a few mild
CUSS WORDS slip we will not find
fault; it looks like the situation de
mands it, . . . there is no use let
ting that crowd run over you, we will
have to fight fire with fire." Well,
good friend, we cannot censure you
very severely for getting hot over this
matter; your sense of fairness and de
cency was outraged by such LOW,
DIRTY polities, and no doubt you did
get pretty warm under the collar. But
keep cool; keep your temper. Let the
"other fellow" get mad, which many
of them did when their tactics were ex
posed; keep your temper.
Now, as to advising The Advertiser
to "let slip a few mild cuss words," we
must say that our correspondent is not
a very close reader else he would surely
have noted that just a few weeks ago
we attempted a bit of swearing and
failed ignominiously. We didn't even
spell the word correctly; so we are com
pelled to decline any future attempt.
Anyhow we will follow our own advice
to others and KEEP OUR TEMPER.
A campaign should be educational;
otherwise it is a failure and a reflection
on the general intelligence of the coun
ty, revealing, as it docs, intellectual
deficiency on the part of the office
seekers, or the fact that the people do
not demand or cannot appreciate a high
toned, sensible, instructive campaign.
If Candidate Please ever hoped to
win the vote of respectable, law-abid
ing citizens, he has now, judging from
reports of the Newberry meeting, dis
carded that idea and is making a direct
appeal to the other clement. Some
good people will doubtless vote for
Blcase, but it will be for personal rea
sons or from a lack of information con
cerning the man.
The ministers of Newberry were
forced by the continued utterances of
Blease to come out and declare them
selves decidedly not in favor of bis can
didacy. This they did in a dignified
way, making no additional and super
fluous remarks.
The Advertiser is much gratified over
the numerous responses to its appeal in
behalf of the Bryan campaign fund to
be raised in Laurens county. It mat
ters not to us where the money is sent;
to any democratic agency is all right
just so the fund i3 raised. This paper
made the first contribution and issued
the first call, showing its loyalty to the
democratic party and its deep concern
for the interests of our candidate.
Again we urge that every voter con
tribute; the money is needed for the
expenses will be heavy. Laurens should
raise $.'1,000 for the Bryan fund.
Editor W. II. Wallace of the New
berry Observer has our deepest con
gratulations upon the manly, dignified
manner which characterized his conduct
and utterances during and after the
State campaign meeting in his town
last week. But then Mr. Wallace,
high-toned gentleman that be is, could
not have deported himself otherwise.
For the sake of reverence let the
candidates cut out such wild use of
Cod's name in their speeches. It seems
that in these days an aspirant for office
scarcely thinks he has done; justice to
his subject or attained the desired end
in oratory without in some wise cm
ploying the Deity's name.
The most popular expression in the
Laurens county campaign is: "I am no
orator; the office I am socking does not
require speech-making." It is well
that such is the case, so some one was
mean enough to remark after one of the
meetings.
The negro Methodists of this city
have sustained a heavy loss in the re
cent burning of their church. They are
now endeavoring to complete the new
structure in thecourscof erection. We
bespeak for them the aid of our white
eil Izens in this effort.
Hon. W. C. Irby, candidate in I his
county for the legislature, calls The
Advertiser to task for supporting "that
republican from Charleston." How
does Mr. Irby know that Mayor Rhett
is a republican?
Some one asked this question on the
streets hero a few days ago: "Who is
(he best democrat in Laurens'.''" (live
it up; hut we know which newspaper in
South Carolina is the best when nil
ured by the democratic yard-stick.
NEWSPAPER PREVARICATORS.
Being wholly averse to extreme
terms, altogether unlearned in the de
nunciatory, abusive arts, and possess
ing an innate temperamental mildness,
we are, in consequence, much attached
to that word "prevaricators" in pref
erence to others more acrimonious.
There are some prevaricators in the
world today, which assertion will doubt
less be accepted without question or
contradiction. Some people are natural
prevaricators, some acquire the habit
early in life, while others become ini
tiated through the practice of their
professions.
It is a generally accepted opinion that
lawyers must be pervertersof the truth
and adepts in the arts of deceit. News
paper writers also come in for an am
ple share in this kindly consideration
and are usually regarded as jugglers of
facts and wholly unreliable, irresponsi
ble specimens. As to lawyers, we re
fuse to believe there are no honest ones.
We heard of one who had an office and
office hours somewhere in the West.
In regard to honest newspaper men?
writers who tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing more there is not
one living: some are dead. If a news
paper man were to publish all he hap
pened to know both he and his publica
tion would come to a sudden and violent
end. They arc not supposed to tell the
whole truth; but they ARE supposed
to be truthful in what they DO tell.
There is absolutely no excuse for willful
prevarication.
Consider, please, this deplorable ex
ample from the pen of one doomed eter
nally to a prevaricator's perdition and
on a swift road to his reward. He
wrote "of a cyclone, saying that it
turned a well wrong side up in Missis
sippi, turned a cellar up side down in
Wisconsin, moved a township line in
Nebraska, blew the staves out of a
whiskey barrel in Iowa and left nothing
but the bung hole, changed the duy of
the week in Ohio, killed an honest law
yer in the West, blew the hair off a
bald headed man in Texas, killed a
faithful doctor in Illinois, blew the
mortgage off a farm in Kansas, scared
red haired women in Michigan, blew the
crack out of a fence in Dakota, and
took all the wind out of a politician
in Missouri." AND THAT BRYAN
WOULD NOT BE ELECTED PRESI
DENT.
There was no preaching service in
any of the churches here Sunday, the
congregations taking vacation from re
ligious devotion.
When tiro pastor's away the sheep
will play.
No preaching at all in Laurens Sun
day, which goes to prove that Laurens
people do not require unceasing admo
nitions to keep them straight.
We expect to support the three best
men for the legislature.
In his speech at Newberry Cole
Blease likens himself to Christ and
paints Rev. CJco. A. Wright as Judas.
Here is the newspaper clipping in ref
erence to the incident:
"He said that he was a criminal law
yer, that he had defended a good man
who had killed the brother-in-law of
Rev. (ico. A. Wright, 'who has lost his
religion and stabbed me in the back as
Judas betrayed Christ.'"
We must admit that we bad never
considered Cole Blease in that light be
fore; it is new tons, somewhat strange,
and we must say that somehow it does
not strike us as being altogether appro
priate.
in 1 !>0<; Candidate Blease was the
avowed advocate of the old State dis
pensary as it stood, claiming that there
was no graft, no corruption and rotten
ness in it. He was defeated.
Candidate Blease has defied anyone to
cito a blot on his record, public or pri
vate. All right. Blease was a mem
ber of the investigating committee of
the old dispensary, the duty of said
committee being to disclose all the
crooked dealings in connection with the
dispensary business. Samuel J. Laim
nau, wholesale whiskey dealer, had a
South Carolina State senator employed
to look after his interests. Blease said
in the presence of witnesses that he
knew who this senator was. Why did
he n?t tell? So the least that we charge
against his public record is unfaithful
ness in the discharge of his public duty.
Strange it is that some good Bryan
Democrats hold against Mayor Rhott
the fact that he did not support Bryan
in lHIKJ; they tire not observant of their
chief's attitude toward such. Judge
Cray did not support Bryan in 18%, yet
Bryan wanted Judge Cray for a run
ning mate Ibis year; Colonel Henry
Watterson, si gold democrat of 1896,
has been appointed by Bryan to bead
t he newspaper publicity committee, and
both Editors Caldwcll, of the Charlotte
Observer, and Hemphill, of the News
and Courier, have been appointed on
that committee, they both having sup
ported Palmer and Buckncr.
Do you see, democrats of Laurens,
how the vaunted Bryan democracy of
John P. ({race works out? Do you sec
how he stands and how much faith and
dependence may bo put in his utter
ancos? Is he a safe Bryan democrat to
follow?
IN REPLY TO MR. 1KBY.
There is such a glaring contradiction
in Mr. Irby's card that we feel called
upon to note it. He says: "I have
asked a great many persons if what I
said could bo construed ns REFLECT
ING on ANY HONEST MAN of ANY
calling;" and just a few linos above he
says: "A certain crowd in Laurens who
do not care a continental dam about the
people except what they can pet out of
them seemed to be trying to get the
preachers to preach .... etc."
This utterance most certainly reflects
upon the integrity of the ministers in
that he accuses them of being USED
by this unprincipled "crowd" as TOOLS
to preach denunciation of dispensary
supporters. The use of the word
"seemed" docs not mitigate Mr. Irby's
charge in view of his definite accusa
tions. So to make these utterances
consistent Mr. Irby must believe that
the ministers of Laurens are not "hon
est" men of their "calling."
Now who is this "crowd" that he re
fers to? Evidently the prohibition
"crowd" who have supported the min
isters in their manly, Christian-like
stand against whiskey drinking and
whiskey sale. Are there any honest
men in this "crowd?" In one place Mr.
Irby says there are some honest prohi
bitionists, so now it would be well for
Mr. Irby to designate and make nil ac
cusations clear. He says he reflects on
no "honest men," then who does he ac
cuse? Who are the DISHONEST ones,
Mr. Irby?
Of course we, The Advertiser being
a corporation, one of those soulless
monsters, octopuses, not "caring a con
tinental dam about the people except
what they can get out of them," do not
expect to be considered HONEST by
Mr. Irby; we look for no kindly consid
eration from him, and his scathing de
nunciations have completely withered
us, of course. We are not asking for
ourselves, but for our friends. Now
WHO are the HONEST and who the
DISHONEST?
Card From Air. W. C. Irby, Jr.
To the Editor of The Laurens Adver
tiser:
I see that I have been misquoted by
your reporter and desire to correct it.
While I am always willing to stand by
what I say, I cannot be responsible for
careless or wilful misrepresentation. I
regret very much that your reporter
has seen tit to falsely report me as say
ing that I did not care a continental
damn what the church members of
Laurens thought of the whiskey traffic.
I did not say that, but did say "a cer
tain crowd in Laurens who do not care
a continental dam about the people
except what they can get out of them,
seemed to be trying to get the preach
ers to preach that if a man voted for
the dispensary as the best solution of
the whiskey traffic that he was not fit
for membership in the church and ought
to be turned out."
I further emphasized the fact that
while I had advocated the dispensary
as the best solution of the whiskey
traffic; that 1 bad always voted to al
low the peoplo of each county to decide
for themselves as to what they wanted.
1 further stated that I knew there were
a great many honest prohibitionists,
but gave my reasons for believing that
the whiskey question was being pressed
in every campaign by corporation news
papers in order to keep honest men
fighting one another while corporation
attorneys slip into the legislatures and
tied things more conqdctely.
As to all this talk about my using the
word continental dam I thought every
body knew that a continental dam was
a certain piece of money paid to; the
soldiers of the Revolutionary war that
became so worthless that when a per
son desired to say a thing was abso
lutely worthless be would say it was
not worth a continental dam.
I have asked a great many persons if
what 1 have said could be construed as
reflecting on any honest man of any
calling and they have invariably said
that it did not.
The fact that I referred to what
seemed an inconsistency of The Ad
vertiser in advocating prohibition and
supporting for the United States senate
a republican and a friend to blind tigers
in preference to a life long prohibition
ist or the fact that I denounced the cot
ton mills for conspiring to crush the
producer by shutting down was no ex
cuse for your reporter to twist my
words to suit himself and place me in a
false light before the Christian men
and women of my county.
I ask that you publish this in fairness
to me. W. C. IRBY, JR.
Editor's Note The above card from
Mr. W. C. Irby, candidate for the leg
islature, requires a word in reply; such
parts, however, as pertain to the dis
puted point and not the additional
speech he makes to the voters. There
are no charges for this advertisement
of Mr. Irby's, although he offered to
pay for it, The Advertiser being will
ing to err on the side of liberality when
a candidate thinks he has been wronged.
Mr. Irby thinks that Mr. W. L. Tay
lor, who reported the L?ngsten meeting
for this paper, misquoted his utterances
making him say otherwise than he in
tended; he even shows why there "was
no excuse for your reporter to twist my
words to suit himself." Everybody in
Laurens county who knows Mr. Taylor
knows also that he would never be
guilty of maliciously misquoting any
man to hurt him. This accusation by
Mr. Irby will fall on deaf ears in Lau
rens county. There is no more careful,
conscientious newspaper man in Lau
rens county than he, and Mr. Irby re
flects upon himself in bringing this
charge. Upon the point at issue Mr.
Taylor reported Mr. Irby as sayiag this:
"Declared that be was not wedded to
any liquor-selling system, thought,
however, that the dispensary was the
best way to handle the traflic and he
did not care a 'continental dam what
the church members of Laurens thought
of it. Is himself an officer in thechurch
and would not hurt or try to injure the
church itself."
The reader will note Mr. Irby's ver
sion of his remarks. The only com
ment we have is, that Mr. Taylor heard
the speech, and while lie is as suscepti
ble to error as Mr. Irby himself, wrote
an account of it as he heard it, which
account lie believes to be true and cor
rect and stands by it, at the same time
deeming it unnecessary to hunt up tes
timonials from others.
Attacks upon the church and minis
tors of the gospel will not prove a draw
ing card in either county or State cam
paign. Candidates, take the tip; it is
free.

Low Politics.
A few weeks ago a hullabaloo was
raised somewhere in the State in Lau
rens county, to be exact- over the fact
that Ciovcrnor Ansel had appointed a
negro a notary public in (Ircenville
county. A lot of people did not know
that it was a common thing; that is
that other governors had appointed re
spectable negroes as notaries public
and were condemning the governor. A
friend of Governor Ansel in Laurens
county took up the matter with the
private secretaries of former governors
and found that since Hampton's time
every one of the succeeding governors
had made similar appointments, In
each case they were satisfied by infor
mation and investigation that the appli
cant was worthy and the appointment
was made.
Ansel has not made any bad
"breaks." He is maintaining the dig
nity of the high office he holds and
deserves credit for his record. ?Green

Well, now, honest and on the dead

A wise man sometimes changes his
mind; a fool never. Senator Tillman

he thought that all Italians were "un
desirable." Now he says ho has

The Farmers' Friend.
Mr. Grace, of Charleston, the young
man who is warning the farmers of the
State not to vote for Mr. Rhett for
United States senator, is such a friend
of Cue farmers that he took the farm
er.-,' labor contract law into the United
States court and got Judge Brawley to
overturn it. He did not even do this
for a fee, but just out of sympathy for
the poor down-trodden negro. Spartan

Is Mr. Orace a Safe Leader ?
Mr. J. P. Grace, a young lawyer of
Charleston, is the man who took the
labor contract law into the Federal

so much trouble about a year ago.
Mr. Grace is now going about over
the State advising the people not to
vote for Hon. K. G. Khett for United
States senator.
Mr. Grace a year ago was the friend
of vicious and unprincipled negroes
against the farmers and others of the
State. This year he poses as the spe
cial friend of the farmers and others
and sets himself up as a leader and
tells the people how to vote.
