Without any knowledge of tbe law

Judge Gary aa indicative of tbe effect
tbe Webb liquor law will bave in title
etate, It appears to us that the liquor
traffic will remain upon Just about
r tbe same beats as It has been for the
pf.st several years. Unless we can
force tbe transportation companies to
aaaume our own responsibility in fer
reting out the violators of tbe whiskey
law and refusing shipment to those
under their suspicion, they will con
tinue aa in the past to ship whiskey
Indiscriminately into this state. The
- ruling of Judge Gary, as we sec it,
B relieves tbe railroads of the responsi
Wykjr on this score. Until the con
ti; algnee of a ehJpment of whiskey is
i ?onvlcted of tbe act or intention of
disposing of the shipment In an Ille
gal manner, the transportation com
pany cannot be held for prosecution
under tbe new law. After the con

"Cade Jack" Glenn is laying it all
orer the local policemen now, in re

several weeks ago when one of the
prisoner* at the county jail caught

made his escape. Uncle Jack says
that the Joke i? a bigger one on the!

prisoner the Bame Eight, they had not
caught theirs "until yet."
It all comes about from the recent

j PROTRACTED SERVICES CLOSE.

Dr. A. D. He( Jure Close* the Meet
lag at the Preubjtertaa ( horch.
The meeting which began in the
Presbyterian church Sunday. Febru
ary ?3rd, came to a close Thursday
evening after a series of most suc
cessful service. Dr. A- D. MoClure,
of Wilmington, assisted the pastor
Rev. C. F. Rankin, and preached all
of the sermons after be arrived the
20th. The services were largely at
tended by both the members of that
church and of other denominations
and much good was accomplished.
JDr. McClure proved a very able ex.
pounder of the gospel and his ser
mons were Intensely interesting to
all who heard them. Doubtless the
church and tbe city generally will
benefit largely because of the meet
ings which he conducted.
Four EMtle Tramps.
Four little boys who gave their
home as Augusta were found several
days ago by the local police near the
C. it W. C. coal chute and brought to
the police station as vagrants, Tbcy
were turned over to a gentleman of
the Mountville section, on the pay
ment of $5.00 for each of them, and
he ntends carrying them to his home
and providing work for them. Wheth

them is another question. They

Through the efforts of City Clerk
J. A. Roland and City Attorney R. E.
Babb tbe city of Laurens win oe re
turned the $1200.00 which has been
paid to the county and sfte aB taxes
on tbe water and lighting plant of the
city. An act requiring this and re
lieving the city of this tax in the fu
ture was passed by the legislature at
tbe past session. The tax amountb
to about $150.00 a year and is a good
saving. It has been paid every year
for the past nine or ten years but this
year Mr. Roland balked on tbe pro
position stating that the plant was
not taxable property. After conferr
ing with tbe city attorney the mat
ter was placed before tbe legislature
and decided as given above. Besides
this saving Mr. Roland has proven
that he Is "on the Job" by collections
of many large back debts and of li
censes that have heretofore not been
paid.
Bev. .Sanders Gulgnard Anires.
Rev. Sanders Gulgnard, who recent

welcomed by the members of all de
nominations in Laurens.

Patting Them to Work.
Chief Bagwell and the other mem
bers of the police force have been
rounding up a few of the vagrants in
town for the past few days and car
rying them before Mayor Babb for
trial. In the past few days, twenty
nine have been tried and out of these
twenty six convicted, realizing a neat
sum for the city depository. Every,
body is getting busy these days and
the whole crowd is going to work.
A Good Citizen.
It is stated in the Abbeville papers
that Rev. Sanders R. Guignard has
removed his family to that city tem
porarily. A little later he will make
his home in Laurens. We wish to
say in this connection that Anderson
has lost a sterling citizen. Mr. Guig
nard Is a man of conscience, of pa
triotism and of a high conception of
the duties of a man and a citizen.
While we were not permitted to know
him as a preacher, yet we must give
expression to the sentiment that he is
a Christian gentleman, a man who
loves mankind in a personal, brother
ly kind of way, and Anderson has lost
a good citizen in his accepting tbe
call to a group of churches which is
in better condition financially to sup
port a rector and his family. South
Carolina has no truer son than San
ders R. Guignard.?Anderson Mall.

$eS8888?eSS6??e*?888.
MeCniTf !? The Eirtt.
The legislature by ?11 but two voie?
gave a t^o-thirds majority to tue bill
to provide for compulsory attend -
. anoe upon scboolE. The author of the j
bill was Mr. EL. P. McCrary of PJcb-j
toe. Mr. McCravy comes from ftght
ng stuck, and was a farmer boy in
LaurenE. He declare* that be will
not stop until this measure has won.
I Mr. McCraTey knows tne rugged path
, of life His rise In tbe world ban
; not been by any bydraulic elevator.
He has climbed tbe knotted rope.
. band over band And be bas won
everything that be bas atttined.
He knows tbe conditions, tbe needs
of the people He is from the peo- j
; pie He has won for himself a very j
gooa education, and the struggle be
baa had in life prompts him to wish
to see the children who are coming
on given school advantages and par
ents made to avail themselves there- '
of,
Mr. McCravey knows the need for
such a law as this, for he knows the]
fact that In some places children are;
made to work that their lazy loafing :
parents may enjoy the wages of tbe J
toil of little one whose minds are be
lag closed daily to the sunlight of
education. The mind of the child is !
like a rosebud, and if not properly
nurtured and encouraged, it will'
i shrivel and become hardened. But!
under proper climate and educational!
j influences the mind of the child like
tbe rose will become beautiful and'
its fragrance and ts life will be en
joyed. But who cares for the wither,
ed rose bud?
Mr. McCravey declares his deter
: inination to push the bill through at1
the next session and has written as
foilowi to one of the leading news- j
; papers:
"Please allow me the space in i
your valuable columns to express my
appreciation for the many letters of i
cone rat ul atJon u;>on my fight for com-"!

in defeat I feel that we have gained
a great victor?* and console myself
with the knowledge that "truth crush- i
ed to the earth will riBe again." I j
shall be very glad to accept an invi- i
ration to meet any senator of the j

Mr. W. H. Holder, who for many

English Peas in Bloom.
One of the very early signs of)
spring is the appearance of tbe first
English Pea blooms. Considerable dis
tinction always is attached to tbe first
one able to show these blooms and
much rivalry exists among amateur
and professional gardeners to gain
the coveted honor. The "Garden,
j Editor" of The Advertiser has been
keeping his eyes and ears open in I
i order to put tbe badge of honor on'
I the lucky one this year and yester-]
'day he was able to place the laurel
i wreath where It belongs. Mrs. John 1
j Hicks, on Farley nvenue, was the
first gardener to report one of the
early blooms this season and she en
joys the distinction that goes with
[ her accomplishment However, while
' the "Garden Editor" grows enthusias
: tice about garden and farm produce
in general, his particular Interest and
attachment is for that Juicy red fruit
with the green exterior that appears
later on in the season. When the
time for that popular product of the
farm arrives, it 1b his intention to
offer a prize for the biggest one
brought in and left at his office for
inspection. For that reason, he would
advise all those who have any spare I
land and any particularly rich plots]
around the house, to save it for this
wonderful crop, for the rivalry prom-j
Ises to be fierce and possibly profit
able. Oh, you watermelon!
