Yesterday was election day in South Carolina; officers have been elected lo administer the affairs of government for the on-coming terms. The occasion brings to mind the real meaning of office holding. Oar government, county, state and national, is the handling of the public's business?the administration of the people's affairs. Public offices are cre ated to divide and apportion this work; public officials are elected to supcrvi: e and execute the business of the various offices. Officers, then, are the servants of the people, entrusted with the peo ple's affairs. Grover Cleveland, the great American, had the correct and proper conception of office holding and set a worthy example in this regard. The people were hid master and to them he held himself accountable. William Jennings Bryan has caught the spirit of the great leader and in the following excerpt from his speech of acceptance gives the true meaning of office holding: "Recognizing that I am indebted for my nomination to the rank and die of onr party, and that my election must come, if it comes at all, from the tin purchased and unpurchasablc suffrage of the American people, I promise, if entrusted with the responsibilities of this high office, to consecrate whatever ability I have to the one purpose of making this, in fact, a government in which the people rule a government which will do justice to all, ami offer to erary one the highest possible stimulus to great and persistent effort, by as suring to each the enjoyment of his just share of the proceeds of his toil, no matter in wdiat part, of the vineyard he labors, or to what occupation, pro fession or calling he devotes himself." There were a number of restless sleepers last night. It is all over but paying up. To the elected we extend hearty con gratulations; to the defeated heartfelt condolences. Happy is the candidate elected or defeated who can to himself say: "Dur ing the entire campaign I have neither Haid nor done anything of which I am ashamed." Handshaking will not bo so popular now; the folks at home will not be so solicitously inquired about. Because of the extra edition Satur day night and the rush of work at elec tion time, The Advertiser contains oi ly four pages this week. This necessi tates the omission of our serial story, "Tho Princess Virginia," which will bo resumed next week. In the course of his speech last Fri day Mr. W. C. Irby, Jr., gave cxpr< sion to a rather serious charge, lie ?aid it had been told him thai the l< ader of the Prohibitionists in Union was running three blind tigers; whereupon Mr. Richey asked him to namo the man. Mr. Irby replied thai Mr. [low ell, at Philpot's storo, \? ould toll him. This matter is respectfully referred to tho police authorities in Union. If HCem* that the violation of the law must be very open and flagrant for it to be so well known horo. Wo have no idea who the "lendor of the prohibi tionists in Union," is, neither do we care?we merely wish to call attention to the incident hero, Laurens witnessed a horrible exam ple of whiskey's disastrous work on Tuesday morning; and yet wo a. < I I I ZENS CONTINUE to FURNISH this means of DESTRUCTION.

Wilson. o o o Following is an item from The State which will interest Laurens people: "Misses Julia and Annie Gilkerson, of Laurens, Linda Mao Sullivan, of Camp Hill, Ala., Bessie and Eunice Glenn and Dolly Guerry, of Anderson, and Messrs. Y. T. and J. L. Gilkerson, of Laurens, B. T. Sullivan, of Camp Hill. Ala., S. M. Wolfe, W. E. Karle, T. P. Dickson and M. C. Dickson and .1. C. Dickson. of Anderson, have been for the past ten days very enjoyably entertained at a house party in the pretty home of their genial ami tactful host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. W. Ruf us Burriss on Calhoun street. Com plimentary to the party, a luncheon was served Wednesday evening at Buena Vista park. Thursday evening the party was given a trolley ride over the city and suburban lines. On Friday the members were taken through the country to the reunion of the "red shirt" boys of '70 at Pcndleton. Of all Anderson's delightful social events dur ing the summer,there has perhaps been none more thoroughly a success and with the participants will doubtless linger long the memories of its pleas ures. o o o' One of the most enjoyable events of the social world during the past week was the reception to the members of the Mysterious Twenty-Two Club on last Thursday morning when Misses Annie and Edna SitgrcaVOS entertained I the club with a charming luncheon at I the'homo of their aunt, Mrs. W. II. Martin, on West Main street. Hereto fore t he club has been entertained in the evening and afternoon and a morn ing meeting was something novel but all who were present declared it to have been one of the most delightful meet ings of this club. Everything was carried out in a dainty color scheme of pink and white the dining room being a vision of dainty beauty with its tall vases of pink roses and feathery sprays of clematis twining their way across the tables. The reception room was also artistically decorated in handsome roses and ferns. The form of enter tainment owed its attractiveness and interest to the fact that the subject matter was purely orignal. The morn ing being cool and every one in fine Iiii its, a musical program was readily welcomed, and each guest was provided with pencil and a card on which a "Mu sical Romance" had been written with blanks left for the principal points of the story. These were to be guessed ami tilled from pieces which were played. The story had been com posed entirely of titles of popular songs and pieces and in order formed the charming little story below: "Joscclyn was her name, and she was seated in deep "Meditation," "Where the sunset turns the Blue to Gold, "Dreaming of School Days." Along came a "Flatterer," as usual. He began by calling her "Dearie," which she resented. He next asked of what she was thinking?her reply being "I'm so Lonely." He offered her "Consolation" by saying "Every One's in Love with some One." She then replied "I'll Wait" then 'till "Some day when Dreams come True." But.be answered,"Somebody loves you Dear," and "1 love only one Girl in this wide, wide World," and that's you, so "Love me and the World is Mine." "Ain't you glad you found me?" said she, then gave him "Love's Promise." lb assured her "III bo with You when the Loses Bloom again," but he came back "While the Leaves came Drifting down," and their hearts were; joined as one while the band played merrily, "Hail to the Bride." The attempts to arrange this little romance properly were indeed laughable and Miss Carrie Bess Vance proved herself the most skillful in getting it most nearly cor rect. After this interesting bit of amusement the guests were ushered into the dining room by Mrs. J. E. Phil pot and Miss Lila Hart, who then served at handsome four course luncheon. Several out. of town guests were pres ent, namely: Miss Carrie Bess Vance, of Columbia; Miss Eva Goodlett, of Greenville: Miss Gladys Barksdalo, of Greenwood, and Miss .Julia Gregory, of Lancaster. These together with the following members enjoyed this de lightful morning: Misses Lnila Mae Dial, Grace Simmons, Annie Richey, Li/./.io Richey, Josio Sullivan, Both Shell, Lucile Martin, Nell Miller, Mary Polio Babb, Daisy Sullivan and Zclcnc Gray. o o o Mr. J, J.
