Negotiating the ".Inly grado" will prohably engage the attention of some people who do not own automobiles. ? ? * At tin- recent meeting of citizens, held for the purpose of voting the special annual school levy, something was said about mnklug additional Im provements on the graded school grounds. This is all very good, bul so long as the mounds are open to the depredation of cattle and stock and tin- trees within the campus are common hitching posts, what is the use of planting out more trees and expending money on other improve ments? * * * Because lie tells a Joke "takingly" and his anecdote; are always apropos, so.He of Mr. heather.-tone's opponent ? for the governorship are taking occa sion 10 publicly advise him against joke-telling in his campaign speeches.

WILL IT RE DONK? A business proposition which prom, lees reasonable returns on the in vestment appeals to Laurens business men, Any proposition that offers ad ditional advantages to the city of Laurens is sure to meet with that re sponse to which it. i.s entitled. There exists in this town at this time a spir it of unity probably hitherto unex celled. There is a desire to promote enter-prises which will not only pay satisfactory dividends and he consid ered a "safe" investment, but Indus trial institutions that will attract more people to the city and give more re munerative employment possibly to those already here. Something of the kind is now needed, if Laurens is to go forward and keep pace with other towns and cities, many of which do not enjoy the advantages, natural and otherwise, thai favor this town. Many think the building of the third cotton mill here would he an oppor tune stroke, for certain reasons, and The Advertiser believes the promo ters of such a scheme will he most heartily supported. It Is in the In terest of Laurens. and that means that it is in your interest. I LOCAL AND PERSONAL MENTION. ? Mrs. \V. A.

Editor The Advertiser: Mr. Cannon having made his statement in the ease of the Siate vs. Rich Davenport, I desire to correct, in part, some of his statements. I \s I understood Mr Cannon, he said in his speech before the Jury that Davenport had a right to resist me. for ho did not know that I was an ofllcer. He then went on to cite the case of the Stale vs. Sellers, wherein Sellers resisted and shot Farmer, and in the trial of the case Sellers was acquitted. Mr. Cannon also slated that he doubted whether I had been invited to the church by the officers. Such talk I think is calculated to have harmful effects. This is what I ob jected to. The jury was composed of excellent men. and would have convicted on all counts, hut for the fac t that the Stale omitted to state that the offense was committed in Lnurens county, For tills error 1 take the responsibility. Many of the people of MouiUvillo understood Mr. Cannon as I did. And so did the negroes. Now. Mr. KJdltor, I was asked by the magistrate to visit New Hope church as there had been violations of the law there. The rural police law re quires me to go where there is likely to lie breaches of the peace. Now. as for the boy witness in the case, he Is a grown young man and a gentle man. s. w.
