Wo llUVO all heard that opportunity some times knocks at the door ol every man; it is Jusl as true in regard to community. Laurcns has had a number of "opportunities" thai have knocked h ng and hard . I her doom., but she let t! in pass, For hirtnuco, I Iho town mlghi have hail a college; tho town mlghi have had the Seaboard railroad, tho town mlghi hnvu bad a good many other things, bill the oppor i :nity was allowed to pass by without any particular interference with its 11 .'\ bial "forloek." Hut will the new electric line go by in tin same manner? it remains to bo so; a. It will depend upon what ihe lilts I ii < -s men of Iho city do In tho matter. We will say, without much fear of going wrong, that if tho desire Is strong enough hero and ihe effort strenuous enough, tlie line can and will be secured. The racialists who have this new project In hand liavo the money to t!o a preal deal of devel oping in this part of the state; we tl.ltik they have the inclination. Hut it is certtiin that they will have little] to do Willi a community that snows no I Interest or even half hearted concern | about the matter, They will not ex tend their lines through any country or town thai appears uninterested, Naturally, and because Lnurons h n good town, the line through this sec- ; tion would in> just the thing; and ii would pay. I'.ai tho people cannot afford lo rely on these facts to help them out: they must hold meetings upon meetings, must send committees nnd other committees, they must sub-1 scribe in stock. Work up a SUlllcieilt amount of enthusiasm, let the promo ters ItllOW that Laurcns wants the; line and Is determined to du her part, ai.d Ihe effort will very likely be sue-[ e< BBful. Anyhow, it will do no harm ' to try. And the llrst step is the meet inn at Fountain Inn next Friday morning; b f Laurcns have good representation. THE SlTEKVISOtt. The Advertiser is not in the habit of "throwing bouquets" Just for the fun of throwing them; that is not our line. Bill when a public official fulfills ihe duties of his office in a manner worthy of more than ordinary praise, we have no hesitancy in saying so. This idea prompted tho expression concerning .ludgo Thompson some ? weeks ogo, In reference lo the prosont supervls of this county w ? have just about the same opinion, < xoept thai Mr, Humbert Is not a veteran, But, we believe hin: in he one of the most com- ' petenl supervisory in ihe entire state ami Laurcns county is fortunate in securing bis Borvloos. it will he a good thin:: fur the county for Mr. Humbert Id he re elected lor aHOtllO) term. Another thing: it was a wise move to have the salary of this office in creased. Th.- place demands a man Who can command that salary in any other posiilon. It is a step in the right direction. ? ? ? WHAT 01 ?]<. BHJil \ M I The supreme court has ruled thai Solicitor Wells erred WhOll he ordered the QeorgOtOwn shorlfT to arrest W. It, Avant, the slayer of Mrs Ruth Big ham, wife of Dr. (;. c. Blghnm, ami. following the habeas corpus proceed ings brought by his attorney. Avant is ordered released, provided he can furnish bond to the amount of $3,000, But, meanwhile, what of Dr. Blgham? Taken all in all. this is one of the strangest, most mysterious and unex plalnable case we have heard of In recent years. Here are two men. con victed of shooting <-\ helpless woman, sentenced to three nnd a half years in the stato penitentiary, released, pend ing an appeal to the supreme court on nn Insignificant bond to the amount of 91,500; owing to a misunderstanding as to the appeal, the solicitor orders tho arrest of the two men. one of w*?nm hearing that lie was wanted gave him self up, the other remaining at large, his whereabouts unknown. Though not a prisoner, Avant was eon lined in the penitentiary; now the supreme court orders IiIb release under an In creased bond. Assuming that the bond will bo furnished. Avant Will be a free man under a $3,00 bond, and Blgham, upon whose order the shoot inn was done, i.s still at large under the origin al bond Of $1,600. To say the least of it. the matter of bonds seems a little unfair and unequal; why is it so? And where Is Blgham? Whose raull will it lie. in case the convicted doctor de rides that he will not serve Iiis sen tence? The case excitOH considerable in terest in this section, anil the people uro somewhat ut loss to understand the proceedings. Took all Bis Money.

Mr. Biock. who was in Laureiis Saturday returning 'Kan Oconoe coun ty where he has just completed a re vival meeting, states that he will begin his new work next Sunday, but will not move to Lowryvllle until about the llrst of March. A few minutes delay in treating some cases of croup, even the length of time it takes to go for a doctor often proves dangerous.
