OUR NEW MILLS.
R. M. McC'own, Secretory of state,
lias compiled figures showing tho In
crease, during Ilia past year, of the
capital Invested in the whole state
and In the different counties. The fig.
lircs for the whole state show a total
increase of over eleven million dol
lars. Laurens County is credited with
an Increase, in capital invested', of
$1.1.16,000, this increase placing tier
second on the list.
Laurens County is "credited" with
being second on the list ami with hav
ing "invested"' over a million dollars
within the past year. Does anybody
know where that million dollars bus
been invested? it was supposed to
have been invested, most of it. in a
new mill here and a new mill at Grn>
Court, but the money lacks a good
deal of having been invested. It seems
that a great deal of ? 1101'gy was "In.
vested" lor a while in talking about
tlfse two mills ami in getting things
in shape bo Hint WO could get the
mills if we v.-.t?'ed them, but further
than that nothing has been invest ul.
\ro the citizens of Laurens trolng
to sit down ami let this chance for
these new enterprises puss by? The
el?y cannot afford to. Other cities hi

counties. In fact taking the whole
there Is not a better county in the
State. All that we need now is a lit
tle more hustb? und bustle. We ought
to have these mills. We cannot do
without them if we are to k?ep pace
with the other cities In the Piedmont.
There was a time, and it was not
far distant, when the population of
Laurens was far ahead of other towns
within a radius of fifty miles of her?.
Why have thos* other towns forged
ahead? It hasn't been luck; It hasn't
been the result of a better ?country
being Vhind them it hasn't been from
superior railroad facilities. Its been
because the citizens of those towns
Hove put their money ami brains into
'heir enterprise and, shouldering the
wheel together and pushing forward
tor tho advance of theft cities' best in

To the Editor of 'l it.* Vdvcrtiscr:
Lot nie say, through your columns,
to Illy "home people" of Cross Hill
that While I admit my property lies
In the township of that name, ns the
school tax upon i: generously proves,
I will not admit that the bosl road on
cane leads from Cri'vend ? my 'tome,
to I be clean, neat, and pretty little vll
' ij-.e 'rowing 'he tc.? of the hl I. Tr
say that the worst road in I.aureus
county connects i two places is
putting it mildly, yet I do not state
this fact as a stricture upon the sup
ervisor, nor yet upon the county, foi
the prosperity of the county is not
sou b as to warrant the at . ervisor
ruhhing his Aladln's lamp and better
ing the road In a night, but by dint of
constant and intelligent labor some of
the very worst places can be bettered
I at no very great expense. Tke way
leading from Puckett's Ferry road to
Cross Hill \ia the old Cuningham Mill
sight is the most direct way to that
town and used to be a public way, but
now the supervisor recognizes It no
longer as ss.ch. With a little substan
tial work it could be made a good
and serviceable road to the good of i
both sections. Some time ago I asked
Mr. Rasor, the Johndeo ot Cross Hill,
to !i >lp me get up a petition to the
supervisor to open the way just ne
benbei1. |< Hing him 1 v.ouul look alter
the p'-tltlon 111 my section If he would
look after it in his. With a nonchal
ance worthy of the French and an |
aesthctlcal carve of the body ho told
mo With a weird, wary, and weary
voice thai he had ro much to do. and
not feel in-; physically (mark you not
muntaliy) ntrong that no would have
to gel me to look after the matter. All
this after i hrid shown him how to
drmv no i!.e petition. To the people
of Cross Hill, both friend and foe,
i simply say I am forced to go to Wa
terloo for my mail, for niy trading,
and for selHng cotton, cotton seed,
and other proJuco bceause :ho roadj
from Craigonds to thai place is h j|
tor and shorter than the present road
io Cross Hill. Cross Hill is closely
connected with tho history of my
family and l have much and sincere
afr.ctiou for the place and for old
"Liberty Springs."
I hear the Messrs. McSwftltl have
promised the county ii\e hundred dol
lars towards putting a bridge over Hie
Saltida somewhere In this neighbor
hood. I hope the report is true for if
the counties of Lriurens and Green
wood accept this generous and pub
lic spirited offer it would insure bet
ter roads to and through this Impover
ished section Which really is of great
premise and intrinsic value. Two or
ttuee months r.go ! wen?, to Greenwood
especially to ??o the supervisor of
that county In tiic mutfor of that conn
I iy joining Laurens county and put
ting either a free ferry or a bridge
over the Sa'ttda in this feet Ion as the
distance both ways from the other
bridges warranted It; as yet nothing
has come of my effort Though now
in tho sear and yellow leaf I yet do
hope that ere my further stage of
evolution I will see a troUey system
completed to Greenwood nod one to
Laut ens and those two progressive
towns connected via Cross Hill and
this section by a like system. People
of my "home town", work for such
a consummation.

>V liar ton Makes Ills Itcport.
Columbia, i>00. 2<i -That tho lives
of many of the prisoners confined in
the county Jails of South Carolina are
in danger from the lack of proper
protection from lire is the substance
of a statement made In trie annual re
! port of It. a. Wharton, deputy, made
! to Insurance Commissioner McMaster.
and which will h> sent ti> the general
assembly.
"I have inspected mos; o." the COllll
' ty jails." says Mr. Wharton. "and I
j find, III many instances, that condi
tions are dangerous to the safety of
the lives of the occupants. In many
instances there is only one exit from
the se<,,:>d and third floor with many
locks end doors to he opened before
being free from cells."
That thera are many ceils with
wooden floors, ceilings and stairways,
1 is the statement made in the report.
"There are very fc .v fire extinguish
ers in the jails." continued the report.
The suggestion is made thai all jails
be provided with steel cells, cement
or metal floors, metal ceilings. Iron
stairways and fire extinguishers.
"A man deprived of his liberty by
? the law should at least have his life
I protected while in the custody of the
law." concludes the report.

The Davis-Roper Company's "Watch

emphasix.es a question that has be
come almost a problem Thia thing
of hurrying through life, never taking
time to get your bearings, or counting
the cost of procrastlvatlon has been
the undoing of many a man. Hut tills

the meantime tbey htt\0 made now
resolves, caught new asperations.
adopted new methods, encouraged
new hopes, and discovered new plana.
A business of such niHgiiitude as these
neccessltates new plans, not only for
their own good, but for the good of
the public. As they well say, "the coun
ty is in good condition and people
have plenty of money for all imme
diate needs, and there is really no
need of running accounts or having
things charged for the next, two
months, at least, and every centa
worth of goods paid for In advance for
the next two months at Davis-Roper

will be so much more able to do so,
since you have enabled them to pay

scribed local remedies, and by con-!
stnntly failing to cure with local treat-!

Significance in Names
In an Illinois town a working man
having been informed that a sixth
baby had arrived at his home, ex
claimed: "Sufficient," and his neigh
bors, referring to bis havJng given
that name Sufficient?to the new
arrival, credited him with originality.
The incident resembles a case near
j er home, adds the New York Tribune.
: A New York family was blessed with
I nine daughters when the stock
brought a tenth one. It was in the
days when the slang term for an oft
told story was a "chestnut." and as
the baby certainly came under that
head she received the name, but for
euphony's sake the French for the
word was employed, and she was
called Marron.
ALL MY PIMPLES GONE.
Girl Tells How a Blotchy Skin Was
Cleansed by a Simple Wash.
"I was ashamed of my face," writes
Miss Minnie PIckard or Altamahaw,
N. C. "It was all full of pimples and
scars, but after using D. D. D. Pre
scription I can say that now there is
no sign of that Eczema, and that was
three years ago."
D. D. D. has become so famous as
a cure and instant relief in Eczema
and all other serious skin diseases,
that its value is sometimes overlooked
in clearing np rash, pimples, black
heads, and all other minor forms of
skin impurities.
The fact Is, that while D. D. D. Is
so penetrating that it strikes to the
very root of Eczema or any other
serious trouble, tho soothing Oil of
Wintergreen. Thymol and other in
gredients are so care.'.iriy compounded
there is no wash for the skin made
that can compare with this great
household remedy for every kind of
skin trouble.
D. D. D. is pleasanl to use, perfect
ly harmless to the most delicate skin,
and absolutely reliable A cent
'nettle will give you positive proof of
the wonderful effectiveness of this
great rein-'dy.

housekeeping In their little quarters
up three flights of stairs, writes as j
follows to tiie idol of his thoughts.
"The gas burner is doing much bet
ter since you left. Today I cooked,
my tlapjacks in five minutes. I thought
I'd eat a little rare steak, so this
morning I bought a pound of round
and tried my hand on it. I fried it
until it reared up on both sides and
bucked in the middle. It was some
what crlsper than the rare steaks at
the restaurant, but not half as tough.
You write that you all will have roast
turkey and baked possum. You know
I always was fond of baked 'possum.'
and I'm going to look out for one
down here in Charleston. Do you i
think I could bake it well over a gas
burner? Do you stuff a "possum with ,
oysters or cranberries? I have almost
forgotten how to cook them since I ;
left Georgia. I forgot to ask you be- ;
fore you left If you put soda in corn-;
bread, and If 30, how much? I hate j
to ask so many questions, but when
you get the lard in the frying pan
hot do you add a little water to the,
boiling grease before putting in the J
steal.? I must have made a mistake
and'added tco much water yesterday,
for the thing caught 011 fire and some
one sent in the alarm. 1 hope you
