C JUNK 18, 1913. The Advertiser will be glad to , receive the local news of all the communities In the county. Cor respondents are requested to sign their names to the contri butions.. Letters should not be mailed Inter than Monday morn ing. The good natu red optimism of the soft drink dealer at the ball games is a great gift. ? ? ? One great objection to the new schedule on the C. & W. C. railroad 1b that we-do not get the papers of our afternoon contemporaries of Greenville and Spartanburg as early as before. "Believe me, boys" It's a "deuced" inconvenience. ... A movement is on foot, to have the early morning freight from the direc tion of Augusta take on passengers be tween Waterloo and Ivuirens. If this' were done. It would go far towards making bearable the present .sched ules from that direction. Though it would require passengers to leave their homes rather early, doubtless many of them would like to take ad vantage of a change like this. ? ? ? Gov. Blease must have tickled him self lit .he side and hee-hawed several days ago after giving instructions that the -lid" bo put on tight at the Isle o! Palms duirng the meeting of the S. C. PreSS Association. Of course that was very small on tho part of the governor, though not out of keeping with his past performances, but the funny part about It,Is that he will not. Inconvenience the "editors" so much as he thinks. There was a time when the press association meetings were quite lively affairs, but that is largely a thing of the past as now the publishers go mostly for business and profit. Those that do go expecting to t;.k" a little "nip" now and then, car ry "their" along with them, so as a matter of fact, the governor, wasn't fo smart after all. ... WILL BE ALLOWED TO VOTE. It will be welcome news to a large number of those citizens In Dials and Scuflletown township who at first thought that they would be deprived of the right of voting in the new county election to know that Chairman Can non, of the board of election commis sioners, has ordered boxes placed at the Gray Court, Power Shop and Lang ston Church precincts. At first it was thought that a great many vitally In terested citizens who lived in the pro posed new county area, but whose vot ing places were out of the new coun ty lines, would not be allowed to vote. Though Mr. Cannon was advised by the assistant attorney general that these citizens could not vote in the ap proaching election, he has looked into the law himself and decided that it would be denying them the constitu tion right of sufferage to deprive them of a voice in this matter which Is so important to them. ... CARRY DEBT WITH THEM. It seems that there are still a great many people In the proposed new county area who believe that, by leav ing Spartanburg and Laurens coun ties, -they get rid of the responsibility for the debts already incurred by these counties. iNothlng is further from the truth. Every bit of land cut off from f?partanburg and I/aurens counties must and will carry with it its share of tho debts owed by those two counties. This matter should be made plain to every voter who Is not already aware of It. A portion of the debt of each old county goes with the new county. Mr. B. Brooks Ohlldress, accom panied by bis father, Mr. W. P. Chil dren, left Monday morning for Sevler vllle, Tenn., where lie will today be married to Miss Lucllc Trotter, sister of Mrs. C. H. Hicks, of this city. Miss Trotter visited in Laurens last sum mer, and is most pleasantly rcmom bered hero, ?ho will be given a cor dial welcome on her return. Mr. Childreas is a very popular young business man of tho city. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. | Tolbert-Chandler. "Hear the mellow, wedding bells Golden hells!
