C, NOVEMBER 22, 1011 The Adrertiser will be glad to receive the local news of nil the communities in the county. Cor* respondents are requested to sign their name to the conln buttons Letters should not be mailed later thun Monday morn ing. Even through the rough and unfin ished exterior, the new court house gives promise of "some class.'" ? ? ? The^Daily Mall soys that "Anderson is my town." Well, tie it up and take It along. Every man to bis taste. Lanrens is "ourn." ? ? * We do not so." why it is that gamb ling by playing cards and shooting crap is against the law and gambling by betting on races is not against the Inw. ? ? ? The Hist of the month will soon be here and then you can do your Christ mas shopping. Those who have the c-ash have already started. We're put ting ours off a bit. ? ? ? The people of South Carolina owe it to themselves to hasten the re tirement of Governor Please to politi cal obscurity. ? Portland. (Me.) Even ing Express & Advertiser. ? ? ? Of course this is not Intended to bo personal, but really ouo of our loading Institutions facing the public eq laro ought to get In better quarter;*. A very fine opportunity is before them, we believe. ? * * \djutant General Moore would have vis to believe that the office of Adjutant General would not be a "plum" if left open to be filled by appointment. Ha! f!a! Col. Moore is stirring the pot rather early. ? ? ? A number of these farmer editors are discoursing elaborately on the rel ative merits of pumpkin pie with or ?without sorghum "smeared" over it. As for us. we are not so particular. Wa 'will take ours either mixed or straight. ? ? ? Adjutant General Moore is going to recommend that the office of Adju tant General be taken out of politics; that the place he filled by appointment of 11)0 governor. Whoever heard of such foolishness? Take it out of pol itics? 'Tis to laugh. ? * ? Yon fellows from Greenwood. New berry and Abbeville counties: Close those shops up on Sunday. Our town ?went coca cola and cigarette dry last Sunday. Those proverbial llrst with ?lusters on wer.- seen here about Church time Sunday. ? ? ? Gel down to tacks, Mr. Farmer, and figure out how you stand on this year's crop. Some good farmor make an estimate of the cost of this year's crop and send it in for publication. Then let's all study the matter and see what It really costs to raise cotton. ? ? ? Farmers and land owners should not (forget the meeting to be held here snlestlny of December In which will too discussed the pine bark beetle sit uation. A large audience should greet the ftgont of the Department of Agri enlture who will make an address. ? ? ? Judging by The Laurens Advertiser, conclude that the city of Laurens Is fully satisfied with carnivals. Orcenwood got a plenty long ago. It Is surprising that any intelligent com munity is ever imposed upon by such things? The Greenwood Daily Journal ? ? ? When buying Christmas presents, patronize the home merchants and fight shy of the mall order houses. They don't pay any taxes Into the city treasury nor are they able to recipro cate the favor of vour put^hase. The home merchants patronize you. Pa Aronlze them. ? ? ? ftt took our old ancestors along ?about sixteen hundrod and toot te toot tto frame up a Sunday law. They went at It head first and came out with all the shopB closed up. Those old fel lows didn't know anything about coca cola In those days. Reckon any of them smoked cigarettes? ? ? ? Senator B. D. Smith is now advteing that the farmers do not use any com mercial fertilizers on the 1012 crop. Has the Senator lost his head since the cotton crop Is turning out larger than he prodicted? The idea! Senator Smith ought to know better than to give such advice as that. ? ? ? If just a few of our stores front ing on the public square were "spruc ed up" a bit, the looks of the city would be greatly Improved. With a few exceptions, tho business houses of Laurens arc equal to those of m.-st cities of this size and far superior to some. But some of our stores ought to be improved. ? ? ? Who Is it that Is behind that Co lumbia race meet proposition anyhow? It looks like the promoters would be treated with more consideration by tho Columbia papers. They ought to be given full credit for everything they do to advertise Columbia. It is not treating them right to rob them of the glory of the meet ? ? ? The Yorkvllle Enquirer says that it has no idea that the General Assem bly will put a stop to the race track evil lu Charleston. We hope that The Enquirer Is wrong, but along with a great many others. It seems to have given up hope of getting anything really commendable through the Leg islature with the present crowd in the ascend;".icy. ? mm If the lire which started on Mr. W. R. McCuen's house Monday morning, had been on the west side of the build ing the hose left on the wagon would not have reached it. Luckily the hose remaining after the first fire was long enough to reach tho east side of the building and thus the firemen were able to extinguish the flames. Moral: Get some more hose. ? ? ? HURRAH FOR THE RECORD! The Columbia Record has come out stout and strong against a race meet in Columbia. Hurrah for The Rec ord. Such a meet as is contemplated at Columbia would pr< .e Immense ly harmful to Columbia and the en tire state. Races, as carired on by those who are promoting this meet, a>\ not such as were held in this state in years gone by at the old I Washington Race Course In Charles ton and elsewhere, bring nothing but gambling schemes, pure and simple, and intended to reap the ben efits of weak and misguided "plung ers." If these races are held in Co lumbia, as it seems that they will, they will prove an abomination to the people of this state. Will The State come out now against this Columbia enterprise? Although it lias been known for several days thai the race track gamblers were contemplating a meet In Columbia, thai paper has not yet seen fit to come out against it, in spite of its criticisms of The News and Courier's weak stand on the Charleston race track propo sition. Tho first gun of The Record cam paign was fired Friday afternoon and was as follow.;: Will We Stand for it? "All that has been said as to the undesirabllity of the establishment of a permanent race meet at Charleston applies with equal force to the estab lishment of a temporary meet at Co lumbia. Racing, as at present con ducted, and as conducted by the in terests back of the Charleston and the Columbia propositions, has been driv en from oii'> State to another, and has now selected South Carolina as the last asylum in this country. It is not creditable to our State that this is true; It is evidence that an inves tigation has revealed not only lax laws but also a laxity of public senti ment, when the men back of this bus iness of Ill-repute have concluded their business is safe in South Caroli na. "The municipal authorities of both Charleston and Columbia are help less; the proposed track at Charles ton Is outside the city limits, and the State fair grounds track here at Co lumbia is likewise outside the city. The officials of the South Carolina Ag ricultural and Mechanical society have taken the responsibility for leasing the State fair track for this purpose, and that fact should be remembered. "Is it true that a sport which is outlawed In almost every other state in the union Is legalized and tolerated In South Carolina? C.n nothing be done about it? What does the attorney general of ^South Carolina say about It". What can he, and what will he, do about It?" There is little danger from a cold or fiom an attack of the grip except when followed by pneumonia, and that nev er happens when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy la used. This remedy has won Its great reputation and exten sive sale by Its remarkable cures of colds and grip and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. For salo by all dealers. A Kl,ASSY KADIJAOK. Reputed to be the greatest the world has ever Seen?On Exhibition at Davis-Ropers.

Any way the aforesaid ball of garden fruit was raised by Mr. J. Wess Don non, a prominent Laurens county planter and from Its record so far. will bear watching. CAFARELM CONCERT PARTY.

Deouty Sheriff Heid stepped Into a nice little "plum" when he carried Henry Suber to the Penitentiary last week. As before mentioned In The Advertiser, Henry Suber was an es caped convict from tin. Penitentiary. When Mr. Held carried him back he was given the $i>0 reward which had been offered at the time of the negro's escape. Mr. Held says that It will come in "right bandy" along about Christmas time.
