ARTHUR LEE Sec. and Treas. Advertising Rates on Application. Obituaries and Card of Thanks: One cent a word. Entered at the postoffice at Laurens, S. C, as second class mail matter. LAUBENS, s. C? nov. 27, 1912. The AdTertiser will be glad to receive the local news of all the communities In the county. Cor respondents arc requested to sign their mimes to the contri butions.. Letters should not be mailed later than Monday morn ing. We are glad to see that the Green ville people have at ;ast discovered that at Chicora "certain improvements In the present plant are absolutely necessary; that conditions, such as clans room accommodation, etc.. at the college now are almost unbear able." From the glowing description given to the Presbyteries by the Greenville silver tongucd orators, one would have believed that the present building is some years ahead of the times. ? ? ? ON CO-OPERATION. What is the spirit that deadens more towns than any other? It Is the spirit of selfishness displayed by a whole raft of close listed citizens who are afraid that every man who is trying to foster some enterprise is after some kind of soft snap for himself. That Bpirit thrives right here in Laurens and It Is hurting the town. True, it is present everywhere to a degree, but it is evident here and it ought to be done away with. What all of us are after Is some ben efit, not neceasari!} financial, from ev ery enterprise to be b. ought 'nto the town, else there would be UO argu ment for our assist ins In getting it here. Surely no one would think that anybody, we don't care who, is going to subscribe to any kind of fund for any enterprise, supposedly for the ben efit of the town, unless he thought that he would benefit either directly or in directly in some manner or other. Any body who would subscribe to any such fund or stock purely for the benefit of somebody else, expecting in return no benefit of any kind for himself, is visionary and neither practical nor ecnsible. unless he has more money than be knows what to do with. A man, who by his Industry. Intellect or force of character. Is able to secure a following large enough and substan tial enough to successfully launch or conduct any enterprise, beneficial to the citizens of a town. Individually or coJeletlvely, should be unselfishly sup ported or be told in n'aln language why. Under ordinary circumstances, we are all looking out for No. 1. But. If it Is to our advantage to aid No. 2 In or der to benefit No. 1, It seems to us that it would be the right thing to help No. 2. We are talking business, not charity. If our citizens are going to do any thing for the growth of the town, they had better cut this narrow-mind edness out and pull together. There are two avenues open to ev ery town: one to growth and devel opment and the other to a slow na tural death. We prefer the former and we believe all of our citizens do, but we have got to work together to reach it; unless we do we will go into the other in spite of ourselves. * ? ? now, why not: The following "nomination" of a L*\Ufeiis boy for an office of great re Bponsihiliiy and high rnnk would be und certainly is heartily seconded by every citizen of Laurens, the real home of tills distinguished naval officer: "'Senate Document No. c> 16,' a pam phlet of 128 pages, conveys to us a belated understanding that the cruise around I., i world of the groat Atlan tic fleet was not a wholly spectacular affair bat furnished the navy valuable experience In the management of such an expedition. That document Is the "report of Pay Inspector Samuel McOcwan, U. 8. N.. fleet paymaster," and was call ed for by the senate naval commit tee because of the records of reforms secured and Wie valuable suggestions made. The least of the pay Inspect or's labors appears to have been con nected with the duties indicated by the name of his post. They begann with getting the ehlp's conteens con ducted honestly; as a result of hl? investigation and reports the system wan radically changed for the whole navv. Included In the work was the provisioning an army in foreign coun J.rles. and distributiv- aid to destitute mong the Italian earthquake victims. "Heading that report again lm tes us that Samuel McGowan, t'. s. N.. is a distinct credit to his State, and we know ti.at he stands very nigh in the esteem of that large contingent of the navy with whom h>?.h eftlcienny devotion to duty and to the navy are esteemed, And that carries U8 farther to consideration of the fact that Mr. McGowah I ns long achieved all the honors. Bave one. in his department of the navy ami that he Is deserving and eminently quailed for that honor? paymaster general of the navy. Years ago Mr. McGowan made a fine record as assistant in the paymaster gener al's office. Since tnen he has done a great teal of hard and efficient ser vice and the honor of being made paymaster general Is deserved and would be appropriately bestowed." "Sam" MrGow.ui>as he Is affection ately called by all of those who know and appreciate his fine qualities here, is eminently fitted to discharge the duties of this office and to reflect cred it upon the government he would have to represent. His appointment would certainly meet the approval of those officers of the navy who have come in contact with him and know his sterl ing qualities and of those people who know him so well here.

ONLY FOR A DAY r irkcj Reiusea tq Accede to Deiuaflds of the Kali an States ami Mobilities Begin Again. London, Nov. 21.?The formal sus pension of the Eastern war proved only for a da/. Turkey rejected the1 Balkan terms for an aftiistic appar ently before the plenipotentiaries had time to come together at Hademkeui. Klamll Pasha, the grand vizier, de clared that the allies' overtures were "impossible." He ordered the commander-in-chlef to continue fighting with the help of the Almighty until reasonable and moderate conditions were proposed. This decision came as an utter sur-, prise- and diplomats are not wholly* convinced that the Ottoman troops will really take up arms again in the cholera stricken Wenches of Tchatalja. While the Bulgarian conditions, for Bulgaria Is acting as the mouthpiece for the allies, were extreme, stipulat ing the surrender of Adrianople and Scutari, both of which strongholds are making an historic defense, as well as the cession of all the terri tory except a narrow strip above Con Btantlnople, these conditions were ad vanced as overtures apparently as a basis for negotiations. It would seem that the Turkish of ficials have not abandoned hope that the powers will come to their rescue and attempt a compromise, but Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign sec retary, announced tonight that the powers had only agreed as far as sur face indications go. Is to keep their hands off. The continued successful defense of the Tchatalji Hues would undoubtedly strengthen Turkey's diplomatic posi tion, but defeat, after prolonged fight ing of her own choosing, would in flame the Bulgarians' '.esire to make <t tripmphial progress into Constantino ple. Popular clamor in Sofia Is demand ing more strongly each day that the advance shall stap only at the Bos phorus. European military officials consider the allies' terms haran m one respect that is that they should concede to ?the garrison of Adranople and Scut ari, the right of marching out with the honors of war, which they nave tarned instead of compelling an un conditional capitulation.
