Cor respondents *ure requested to sign their name to the (ontrl hutloiis. Letters should not he mailed later than Hominy morn* in'-:. South Carolina has broken another record, sh has the champion par doner of the world. ? ? ? Will Oov. Olcnso ask any more In. formation from the Dispensary Com mission? Hardly.

IM UIS0 is going to keep them from even being tried. The court at llorry Is without a iudgo, as the direct result of Oov. Blcase's muddlu with tho Supremo Court. ? * * Wo will have to again call to tho attention of our correspondents and contributors the necessity of signing their names to communications. We received for this issue an article with out any name signed to it and of course we had to lay it aside. We are obliged to stick to our rule of not publishing articles when the writ ers are unknown to US or when they do not make themselves known. ? ? * We hear whisperings of a base ball league composed of a number of towns In this section: Abbeville. Greenwood, New berry, Chester, Clinton and Lau rens In South Carolina, and Blberton and Athens In Georgia arc the men tioned towns. This is a mighty good idea and one which will most proba bly meet with hearty support in each I place. It would be well for those who are most Interested to call a meeting here and discuss the proposition from the Lauren; standpoint. ? ? ? We are sending out today notices to those subscribers to the Advertise'-, whose subscriptions expire at this lime and some who have let their pa lter run over a little bit. As this entails a great deal of work and expense, wo i would nsk that ihoy i>e given Imme diate Attention. As these statements were goth n up several days ago in Order that they might no out on the lirst of the mouth, there may be some to rt ceive them who have paid up ill themenntime, '!;-.<:.v who are so noti fied will pi l?se disregard them. ? ? ? GOOD NOAHS. Jusl now while the streets and roads ate cu! up and I'OUgh from us age following the rain.;, would be a splendid Um i to try tho spilt log drag. Ii has a wonderfully smoothing and packing effect. Has beeil tried around Laurens and Is said 10 mere than pay for the labor and trouble lit Improv ing the highway. Let tho empty wag ons coming to town try the drag and BOO ho\v it works. Then when loadod for home, ? take ir oil a-; ballast, or leave It in town for another trip, This will do away with bad sinks or ruts:. ?Clinton Gazette. That's a mighty timely suggestion, Whon thfl Wagons are being brought to town at this time to haul fertilizers, If the fanners would only get togeth er and drag the roads and not wait for their neighbors to do It. much good could he done. But as long as one man waits on another to do the work, nothing will be accomplished. Wouldn't it bo Hno if every farmer In the county would use the split-log drag in front of his home for just a few hundred feet to see how It works. That would be great, for If It was started we are quite sure it would be followed up, Suppose some good farm er take the lead and drag the roads in front of his house and make his neighbors so ashamed of himself that he will undertake the same thing. Somebody try it! ? ? ? TIIK FACTORY INSPECTORS. Although the action of Gov. Blease in .vetoing the factory Inspector ap propriation was intended as another mothod of fooling the people of the mills and farms Into thinking that he < Is their real friend, It has possibly ! done more towards discrediting him I with that class of his former support j era than any other of his many very . near sighted acts. Although wo do] not bei love- that the doing away with j j these inspectors for one year will so- j I riously hamper the good work that ' : has been heretofore done in alleviat- j ing the condition of the children In ! j the mill villages, we do believe that ! this act on the part of the governor will show him up in his true light to j i those who he has heretofore made to j believe were his friends. When Clov. Bloase makes the assertion that every 1 man and woman over the age of twon ty-ono yaars can look out for him or herself, he really shows that lie has 'not got iit heart the interest of the, working people; lor everybody knows j that unless the corporations are streu - guarded against, In most eases they can and Will take advantage of their] : laborers. . If by vetoing this measure OoV. Illease had caused the child labor law I to become inactive, what class of tli>' people of the mill villages would he have aided? Would ho have aided the hard-working laboring man. who by j : the sweat of his brow is able to feed and clothe his family and place him j self in a position to educate bis chil dren? No! This is not the class. They need little protection. The men that ' this law is intended to guard against , are those la/.y. trilling, grown-up men , who hang around the mills, chew to bacco, swap yarns, talk politics and let the children work amid the spin- j i dies and looms to furnish support for the family. Perhaps they are the ones that he wishes to ph ase. He can not hope to please any of the others. But, Oov. illease has decided, re- ' : cently, that the liquor constables are . I to do the factory Inspection work. They mlghl do the work satisfactorily, I but they are. as a ride, not fitted for it and are not In sympathy with the 1 work. Whether t.uo whiskey constables succeed in doing the work w ?11 or not, or whether the children are returned to the mills or not, Oov. Illease has shown where his hear! lies In his dealings with the laboring people and doubtless they will refute hi pi two; years hence. Mr. (lias. I?. IV.
