Letters should not be rootled later than .Monday morn ing. Everylwdy Ret ready to be "tuk" in the moving pictures of Laurens when they are taken during the County School Fair. ? ? ? The Spartanburg .Journal says that Sam J Nieb?lls Is "one of the bi.st known young men In the county". In. deed, we do not know of any other yo'?ng fellow in that town who has been more widely advertised, his youth having proven but a minor obstacle in winning a way to fame. The executive committee of tho S. C. Press Association has decided that the annual trip after the association meeting this year will he made to New York city. Tho committee has mado arrangements to provide transporta tion by the Clyde Lino al a verj cheap rate. The selection of New York and the water route will meet with the hearty approval of the association and doubtless a large number of the "boys" will take the trip. ? ? ? GOV. Please has accepted another invitation to attend a COnferonco of governors to he held, this time, at Colorado Springs. The secretary Of the conference In extending the Invi tation, stated that it was desirod to make? the conference a record-break-! ing one. We have serious doubts whether or not the hopes of the con ference secretary will he realized, for, with the promise shown by our gov ernor at the last conference still fresh in our memory, we hardly think that the record made at that meeting can be broken. At least, let us hope not. ? ? ? CAMPAIGN TO CLOSE. Dr. Routh will close the hook-worm campaign in this county Saturday. He has been in the county over two months and during that time he has treated hundreds of cases of the dis ease. He examined thousands of oth ors and found that they were not In flicted, but enough cases were dis covered and treated to amply repay the county and the state for the money that they expended and Dr. Routh for his labors while here. Hut there are a few days left of the campaign and these fow days should he taken advan tage of by the people of the county. Parents should take this last oppor tunity of having their children receive this free examination and treatment. Dr. Routh will spend the last day of the campaign in the court house, when be will bo glad to examine everyone who applies and give free treatment to those affected. We urge all parents to have their children examined before the campaign closes. ? ? # Wo hoard it from several sources yesterday that The Advertiser was to appear this morning with a broadside against the new city council because of the elections Thursday evening. We do not know how this Information got out or who was tho author of It. It is sufficient for us to say that wo did not and do not intend now to dis cuss tho elections, except to advlso I the new councllmen to get a book of j parliamentary rules and have It adopt I ed to go by In their deliberations. It might not l>e out of place also to sug H gest that they read the charter and any other acts under which the city I exists. While tho results of the elec I tlons thoniBolves did not go, In all I cases, nccording to our liking, still . we had no right to* expect anything I else as our candidate In the mayoralty I race was treated rather roughly In k tho primary election. So, wo have no I right bo complain. If there are oth t. ere who voted differently and feel that the wishes of the citizens have not been carried out by the new council, I they will have to console themselves f&tn some othor way.

HOI*tili, Cashiei Your Cotton Will Come Up Standing Like This When Planted With the Corn and Cotton Planter LEDBETTER "One Seed" COME In and see the only real cotton planter. The planter with a positive, precise force feed, that will take Hnty cotton seed, just as it comes from the gin, and plant the seed In a straight, narrow line one at a time, equal distances apart?as regular as buttons on a card. Other planters can be set to plant "thick or thin," but this planter will plant thick?a bushel or more of seed to tho acre?without bunching, or thin-down to a bushel to six acres?without skips. Each plant stands alone with its own few Inches of growing room?cuts the work of chopping down to one-half, and you can take your own time about chopping?plants keep on growing and make stocky, vigorous bushes. When you plant your cotton with a Ledbettcr "One-Seed" Corn and Cotton Planter?one seed at a time, evenly spaced?you can plant the best seed that money can buy at no more cost than ordinary seed, because none are wasted in useless bunching. And you get 5 bales of cotton on the same land that grew only 4 before, because there are no skips iu the row. When the Ledbetter "One Seed" Corn and Cotton Planter is set for planting corn it is strictly a corn planter, without an equal forthat purpose ?dropping without fail a single grain at any distance desired from 6 to 48 inches. And the same is equally true when set to plant other seeds, such as peas, bean3, canteloupesj watermelon, sorghum, millet, etc. With peanut attachment it plants peanuts, large or small, shelled or In the shell, with equal success. A double guarantee is behind every planter, that of the manufacturers, The Southern Plow Company, Dallas, Texas, and ourselves. COME IN TODAY~We want you to see this planter whether you intend buying a planter now or not. Moseley & Roland LAND SALE. State of Sontli Carolina, Connty of Lanrens.
