With the issuance Monday of a char ter for the glass factory Laurens branches out into a manufacturing Held that is filled with opportunities. The business men of l^aurens are wide-awake to the more advantageous commercial enterprise - and no enter, prise that has evei been launched here has a brighter future than this one. There are many reasons why the capital stock should be subscribed at once. This enterprise is not a com mercial adventure. It is certain to pay and handsomely. The various new uses to which glass is being put has caused the consumption to be far greater than the production. The glass factories located in U:r south, and there are only three, are financial -im sses and the continued Increase In demand for this material gives promise Of still greater success, Di sides being, directly, a sound bus iness Investment, the class factory will be o valuable csset to the town. Its location 1 ere moans a certain In crease In population, it means tho coming here of a larpe number of v?u-pa id employees, men Of the high es class for such work necessitates ski.led artisans, It means fewer emp ty houses, better ami increased trade foi the merchant and. as with every new enterprise, a general prosperity. The books of subscription are now op-n.

Th> re was a reaction in the cotton market yesterday, the price of the sta ple having advanced from 13 1-2 to I i cents during the day. Laurens was paying the top of the market and will continue to pay it. Now, In this connection It may be'' well enough to say that because of the decline In the market last week. In New York. August:) and other mark ets as veil as Laurens, there has been a disposition on the part of many of > our people, both town and county to . ?'knock'' Laurens. it heir,,- claimed that | oth< . points in end out of the county were paying more. This was a mis tak n Idea, Those who take the trou ble to keap u;> with the daily cotton i quotations know that t:..'s market has paid the limit every clay since the >"n soh opened, it is not difficult to k? >| th dally run of th* . r o of the sta Wagon want all the cotton they can get and pay. the market price for it There |g sharp Competition in a mar ket of the importance of Laurens, and this season is no exception in this respect. If there is a combination among the buyers, the apparent agf. mcnt is to nay ? .. ??p ??;e market' all the time Of Course Wfl do llOt criticise the cotton producers for wanting all their cotton will brine on any market, (he proper sampling and grading and weighing of each and every bale; and all these considerations should be ac corded every man who offers his cot ton for sale in Laurens. We believe he gets fair and Impartial treatment In thJpse respects at the hands of the Lib c| us buyers, weighers and ware housemen. If not, then register a strorjg complaint: knock the market and ?'demand equal prices, careful handling and accurate weighing; but be sure beforehand t'.iat .. on have Just catase of complain. Business is busi ness, and from many standpoints there should be no juggling of the cotton situation in I^aurens. ? . . Pairs are being held in nearly every county in the State and ?he grand climax Will be the State Fair in Co lumbia next week. They are fine in (Mentions of the State's progresslveness and the day Is not so far off when the county seat wtihout a fair will be a back number. ? ? ? The new depot will be unveiled in a very shirt time but it seems that cloth will go out of fashion before our t'ncle Sam uncovers his new postoffice building here. ? ? ? The I,aurens cotton market, contra ry to the general opinion expressed over the county, continues to hold its own among the markets of the larger towns. ? ? ? With the disposition of the county auditor's campaign and election..it is expected that the municipal campaign will be launched. There's no dull season politically in Laurens. Mayor Babb has stated that he will stand for reelection, and so far no opposi tion to him for the honor has betn suggested. He is completing his sec. ond term. The election is : bout four months off.
