In offering for sale SLT^O.Oo Park er Cotton Mills Co.. 7 per cent guaran teed stock. Curtiss S Sauger, of Hos ten in describing the stock wliich is for sale, say that "tin* average earn ings of the constituent companies for the past live years have been five times the annual dividend requirement." While we admit our lack of knowl edge of the intricacies of the stock brokerage and mill business, It seems to^cs that the mills have not been Laving such a bard time in the past 'five years after all and that the con tinued cry of curtailment on account of sluggish trade conditions and the high price of cotton Is more of a bluff to pull down the price of cotton than anything else. ? ? ? OS BOOSTING, We pcoplo Of Lau; ns could WOll rake a lesson from the trade boosters from Charleston who visited here Fri day. It Is a well known fact that Charleston has been more or less dead for some period of time. It is also equally as well known that she is just about one of the IIvest things going just at this time. She is on the go so to speak; she is hustling. A glance at the table showing the In-' crease In exports and imports for the past five years will show that she has taken on new life and that business is picking up. it can hardly he said that the growth has been the result Of her natural advantages, although they are almost unequaled In the Southeast, but it must be admitted that It has been the result of an ef fort on the part of her citizens, lead by her Mayor, R. G. Rhett. to do bigger things than she has done here tofore. They have determined that Charleston shall no longer be In the background when other cities with tenser opportunities are springing ahead. As we said in the beginning, there is a lesson for we people of Laurens in the trade excursion. This lessen is that we ought to lie up and doing our selves. Laurens has occupied just such a position as has Charleston for a good many years. We are here sur rounded by the best back country of any county In *hc slate, perhaps; wc have as good railroad facilities as many a more thriving town although we have let pass some mighty fine prospects for more railroads; we have as much and more oapHal than many a more hnstllng city; we have tho inen capable of doing things; and there are none but who would like to see the city first among those In the riedmont. Charleston has begun to boost bor natural advantages with marvelous results. Laurens could boost her resources pla *e her money in native enterprises and tho rewards would be ns largo as those which ore going to Charleston. Every man In Laurens should be a booster-of bis own town. Every where that he goes he should be ever o;i the alert to say a good word for her enterprises, her fine country and her fine prospects and then when some enterprise Is set on foot every body should subscribe to the stock ond start the ball rolling. Other towns do these things and It cannot be sold that Laurens Is not equal to any of them She Is as good a town ms there i<< in South Carolina if hei business men will assert themselves, hand together and start a cum; lign for bettet end larger things. Let us follow in the footsteps of the Bleepy Charlestonlans and start on nn advertising campaign to pros perity. Lisbon Locals. * o * ??????????????? Lisbon. April 10.?We have been counting the friut that is left from the recent cold snap, while we find some few trees full, we find plenty that the fruit was killed In the hud. The apple has iust commenced to bloom and we hope to have a good crop if some of these cold April show ers don't cause them to dr?p off. The early plantin? of corn is slow about coming up. We can't hear much talk of planting cotton seed ot present, however we will commence about the 15th of this month. AH small grain needs more rain. We had plenty n few days back but the cold winds put it to the bad so far as the gialn was concerned. The thorough prepara tion on the farms are still going on. but the time has come when we will have to plant and work after WO do plant. The thorough preparation is all right so far as it goes, but you will have to work aftor that. There will he a great den| of fertilizer used on corn this veer. They seem to think if Jerry Moore can make 228 bushels per a.-re, they can too. so they are going to give it a trial if the fer tilizer and plenty of It counts any thing. One boy told me that he had already put on one acre 10.00 pounds barn yard manure and would coin mence his high grade fertilizer Inter on to wind up with nitrate soda; so the boys may look out. this hoy is go ing to do something.

The following resolutions of respect were adopted by the Poplar Springs Sunday School: Clarenoe died on March 2G. 1911 at the premature age of 21. He, for several years, was a loyal member of Poplar Springs Baptist church, and a faithful devoted member of the Sun day school. For about four years he was secretary and ireastircr of the Sunday school. His work is written in the pages of our Sunday school rec ord: his untainted character is im printed Indellibly upon our minds; his ihcrt, but unstained life, is lumi nous before us. He rests entrenched in love ami admiration in the hearts of his classmates and fellow-members of the Sunday school. Resolved: That in the death of Clar ence the church has lost one of its most consecrated members; the Sun day school one of its most dutiful and faithful pupils: the community a good and noble young man; the home one of its lights and hopes. Resolved: That while our deep sym pathy goes mit to the father and moth er, the brothers and sisters, we re Jolc - fiith them in the assurance that ho Is not dead but hits gone on to that great celestial life, there to live in supreme happiness. Resolved: That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to the sorrowing fam ily; a copy t.) the Baptist Courier, and a copy t<> the Laurens Advertiser. Miss Louise Carlisle. Miss Barnie Wallace. Mi?.
