REPORTORIALS Traveling men are a very influentia class of citizens-if they want to l>c. There was a young fellow here this week from Charlotte X. ('. and Char lotte just, oozed out of < v.-ry h s very pores. Yet, he was not tiresome; he believed in his town, loved it, and * talked about it in a manner pleasing to all who heard him. He was an ex cellent advertiser; ho was a member of the "Greater Charlotte Club". Aral if every traveling man out of tho North Carolina city is as great a booster as this man, Charlotte will soon be the size of New York. Relieve in your town and then talk it. And by the way this same fellow from Charlotte is a near-poet and on some occasions writes "things" for a little paper up there called "The Observer... That's the only objection to the kid; he is under the influence of that,,perverter of historical facts,, ami believes in the Mecklenburg Myti . Otherwise he is a first rate fellow. There is a movement on foot to or ganize a'country club in these parts?a mighty good thing too. Think it over, ye automohilists, dancers, tennis play ers, golfers, and devotees of other sports. Some one will see you soon about becoming a member. It's the thing; Laurens needs it. The Reporter has talked with num bers of people about the liquor situation here and the consensus of opinion is that Laurens is immeasureahly better oil' now t han last fall. Several have said that there are some old topers in the county who have actually not had a drink since November, and are to all outward appearances reformed. And those who are in a position to know say that there is very little liquor being shipped into Laurens. Keep it up. TIk- Reporter wop! Ion show at the opera house a few evenings aifo, and enjoyed the performance very much until the beginning of the "finale" when numbers of people go! up t<> leave. They seemed to he in such a hurry to gel out; by their Hetjons they seemed tofoarlhnl they would 1 >-<?

Manager Wallace will jus! have to keep the doors closed until th< -hows are ended. The Marksdale building on the west side of the Square presents a very handsome anpearance since it's painting. There are otle r building* ill the eld town thai pain I wouldn't hurt. Paint i; cheap: paint is a preserver. .lust think of how many people from this city and the surrounding' country who have been in the Columbia hospital this year. Laurens needs it hospital. The King's Daughters have worked hobly toward that end. bul at the pros en I rate it will take them twenty years to build a hospital. Mr. Merchant: when yon advertise in the Laurens Advertiser you reach just about T.?Otl people a<.I'dlng 16 the standard of estimating newspaper readers. Circulars and hand bill'! are all very well for a speedy announce ment here in town, but the cheapest and best way t<< reach the people is to any your say in tho Advertiser. It. has the largest, best circulation of a:y papOrin the county. Mr. Subscriber: The Advertiser Is living up to the letter of the postnl law which requires it to cut oir all sub scribers w ho are in ni rears more than one year. So If your paper do< H not come, call thai fad to mind. It w ill pay you bolter and save (rouble for both you and the paper f you will keep a ?dose watch on the label. Then- is a hog and cattle pOP rigid In the city limits and .??.Inn s: on the public square that the health ollici would do well to look after. Our impression is that the maintenance of RUCh a place is in violation of one of the city ordinances. \ WILL'S NEWS AT CROSS HILL., Much Sickness in Town?Marriage Horses Run Away. Cross Hill.
