C OCTOBER 11, 1011. Tho Advertiser will be glad to recoivo the local news of ail tho communities in the county. Cor respondents uro requested to fdgn their name to tho contri butions Letters should not be moiled later than Monday morn ing. "With Clinton, Laurens. Helton and Anderson linked together nnd with tho intervening territory developed, through the medium of a steam or trolley line between these points, a rich country would he opened up and each of tho four cities would be mu tually benefltted to an enormous de gree. ? ? ? With tho iargo number of glass blowers on the streets and with their families coining in on many of the trains, Laurens is taking on an air of growth. The signs now are healthy for a steady improvement in every direction. Conldence In our town and cooperation among ourselves 'will do wonders. Classing doesn't count for much. ? ? t Some steps ought to bo taken to make our new citizens feel at home. They should be given cordial recep tions on every hand. They should be shown some real interest oth er than that of gaining their trade. Our churches, especially, should ex ert every energy towards making them fool that they are in our thoughts. And then, too, sometimes the best of men go astray when they are allowed to go without that brotherly fellowship being shown which thoy have a right to ex peel when in a strange place. ? ? ? On account of the late hour at which we went to press last* night wo were forced to leave out several letters of some of our most valued correspond ents. A few little '?sentiments'' which usually llnd place in this col umn also found themselves still on the hook when the call sounded to lock lho forms. Alter a very strenu ous day we did not feel willing to ask "our boys" to work longer In setting up these things. We hope, however, that our subscribers will feel amply repaid alter going through the news columns and the offerings of the mer chants. ? # * The Herald has Joined with The Advertiser in discussing the feasibili ty of building a railroad from here to Helton. We are glad to note the cordial spirit which It joined with us on that proposition nnd now we hope that somebody else besides tho news papers will have something to say on the subject. We would like to hear this question discussed thoroughly. Wo have often heard this plan sug gested as a rather, expensive one but It has never been looked Into. If any body has any doubts about the prac ticability of the plan, let them speak out. Heing practical and outspoken is not being backward by any means. Do not be afraid of being called a crok er. Adverse criticism will be better than none at all. Let us have any kind of a discussion to show that we arc at least interested. ? ? ? f NE HP SELECTION. To those who are ambitious in tho selection of their seed corn we would direct attention to the article In this Issue headed "Solectlon of Seed Corn." At this time, when progressive meth ods of agriculture are being: followed so closely and so successfully, we cannot afford to overlook tbo most im portant item in the culture of our crops An unsound seed is produclve of an unsound product. Equally is It true that a sound seed corn will produce, If properly cultivated, a sound ear of corn. The importance of seed selec tion has been stressed on every hand and at every opportunity by our agri cultural leaders and now that every frne has become convinced that the sound seed is the first consideration fn successful planting, they are now Celling us how to get that soundness. K The article is a short one and to the \-point. Just plain common sense ?broughout. LAUBKNN HOBSE WINNING. Proves Sensation at the Winston-Sa lem Fair, Taking all four Heats of a Brilliant Bace. The Wlnston-Salem (N. C.) Journal had a great deal complementary to say about "Linda" a little chestnut mare owned by Mr. O. Pope Irby of thin city. The little mare has won several big purses In fast races recently and promises to do even better. LaBt week she won two races at Roanoke and this week she has won another. In fact sho has not been beaten at all since the 26th of September, so says Mr. Irby. Soon aftr the close of the Winston-Snlein meet, Mr. Irby says he will carry her further north and get on the faster tracks, where the pursss are larger and where she will be more in her own class. The following is what the North Carolina paper had to say about the race In particular: The Races. The undoubted feature of the whole program yesterday were tho races. $4.50 Horse Won. Lindy, the pretty little chestnut mnro owned by Mr. O. P. Irby. of South Carolina, proved the sensational racer yesterday, winning the three straight heats in the race which she catered. Likewise she won the race Tuesday. The 2:18 Pace. Four horses were entered for the second race of the afternoon, this be ing the 2:18 pace. In the first heat ' 'ttle .Joe took a line lead and the oth t.'s followed in one, two. three order, with little Lindy far In the rear. Be fore the first half of the first lap was completed little Lindy had been miss ed in one, two, three order by Rover Queen and Allco Parrish, but Lindy lagged and everybody wondered what could be the matter with the heroine of the day before. So the race continued until tho last half of the last lap. Then something seemed to whisper to Lindy, her lit tle form took on new life. She sprang forward like the rust of the wind, passed Little Joe, shot by Alice Par rish and reached within two lengths of Rover Queen. Then Lindy seemed to take delight, in showing the cheer ing multitude what was in her. Her little form seemed almost to leave the earth and while the whole grandstand was alive with waving hats apd canes and yelling people Lindy sped by Rov er Queen just to the niche of time and finished the race as winner with a half length to spare. Time. 2:10 1-2. Lindy did not lag an instant in the second heat. She took the lead from the sound of the bell and kept It mag nificently. It looked as If nothing could pass her. Rover Queen, how ever, maintained a good second throughout the heal. The only fea ture of this event was the home stretch spurt of Little Joe, who had lagged behind until the last half of tho last lap. Then he began to take on new life and finished the heat but a neck behind Alice Parrish, the third in the race. Time, 2:17 3-4. The bettor time in this heat was undoubtedly due to the fact that Lindy set the pace for the whole of the two laps. In the third and final heat of this race little Lindy ngain took the lead with Little .loo following for a whole lap and more a close second. But in the last half of the second lap, Little Joe lost ground and gave his place to Rover Queen, who finished second, Lindy, of course, going under the wire firs! by two lengths and more.

LAUHENS COUNTY MEN DETERMINED TO BOLD (Continued from Page One.) would ever remain in the rut that they are In today. He urged them to put intelligence in their business, band together to hold cotton, build ware houses to hold It In, It neccessary form insurance companies to insure it In and then when this was done the farmer could stand up like a man and demand his rights along with the oth er business men of the world. Senator Smith said that In the next session of the United States Congress he intended to introduce a bill to re quire the census department to pub lish an accurate record of the number of bales being kept in ware housos and mills at the same time that they publish the other cotton reports. He proposed to have such a report got ten out so that the producers of the cotton would know how much cotton Is in the hands of the mills just as the mills now are able to judge how much cotton is In the hands of the farmers. In this way, he hopes to place the farmers and spinners on an ecpiat ba sis as regards actual knowledge of the amount of cotton available. In closing Senator Smith urged the farmers to stick toyether in this state and all over the south and, If they did, that victory would crown their efforts. At the close of his speech he was loudly cheered and a vote of thanks was tendered him by the convention. A number of other men made ad dresses at the meeting. Mr. B. F. Kel ly, vice president of the State Farm ers Union, made atlrring appeal to the farmers to stick together. Judgo O. G. Thompson, Mr. W. L. Gra> and Mr. N. B. Dial were among thoso from this city who spoke Mr. Dial suggest ed that a plan such as the whiskey dealers utilized, bo dlscussel. Ac cording to this plan cotton could be placed In bonded warehouses and tho certificates carried to the Clerk of Court who would certify as to their being free from any clnlms and these certllcates then wold be honored any where and money gotton on them. This would aid the farmers in holding their dotton and at the same time allow them to meet their obligation. Mr. F. P. McGowan offered resolu tions thanking Senator Smith for his address to the farmers and Judge Thompson offered one of wide-scope thanking him for his struggle In be half of the southern farmers. Judge Thompson also offered resolutions thanking Capt. Richey for the use of the Armory. It was also decided, through a reso lution offered by Judge Thompson, to make the organization a permanent body and that the present officers should remain fcr one year. ? SPECIAL NOTICES.
