The Advertiser will be glnd to receive the local news of all the communllles In the county. Cor. respondents aro requested to sign their names to the contrl* bntlonH..

We bolleVQ that The Advertiser ex presses the sentiment of the citizens of Lau renn when it says that the greatest cause for rejoicing ovor tho outcome of the new county election was a feeling that even to the utter most hounds of the county the people still showed the old ties of affection and love for the county and county seat. It can safely bo said, we be lieve, that, In deciding how to vote at this critical time, many decisions vi r., made on sentiment alone with out any regard for the material QU08 Uons at issue Relieving this as we do, we leel that lltO citizens Of the county-sent and the county as a whole have a right to feel thankful thai they nre so closely bound together and that it will take even more than mere monetary matters to break them asunder. ? ? ? The announcement made in the edi torial columns of The State several days ago that Mr. W. W. Hall would assume charge of the editorial col umns of that paper In the absence of Mr. W. E. Gonzales In Cuba was re ceived in Laurons with peculiar pleas ure and pride. Mr. Mall is a son of I.aureus county, one who so iden tified himself with its activities and so endeared himself to its people dur ing his earliest life that they have never yet come to admit that he Is no longer theirs. Mr. Hall is the son of the late Col. Beufort Watts Hall, for a long time editor of this paper. The son followed In the steps of his father, being editor of The Advertiser at dif ferent Intervals for a number of years. Under their charge the paper grew in Influence and resources and at tained to itH highest perfection. Mr. Win. Watts Hal| is recognized as one of the most capable, most fearless and most broad-minded newspaper men In the south. The friends of The State feel no anxiety as to his ability to conduct Its editorial page In a manner befitting the great paper that it is. ? ? ? While no definite announcement has been made since the Enorec new coun ty election, the advocates of the new county with Fountain Inn as the county Heat let It be known some time ago that they Intended to have an election called In case Woodruff met defeat. We do not know yet what effect the overwhelming defeat of Woodruff has had on the Fountain Inn people, but we hope that they have come to realize now before be ginning a long and expensive contest that the people of the affected terri tories are not In favor of any change. The Fountain Inn perple should not allow themselves to be carried nway by 'ha Idea thai the sentiment In favor of the new county there caused ll?0 defeat of the Woodruff proposition. While then- were possibly a few poo pic who voted with this in view, the number wan probably very small and we believe would amount to little in deciding tho contest as to the Foun tain Inn new county The people of the old county have expressed them selves in no uncertain terms on pro posed dismemberment and their sen timent seema to be overwhelmingly ngalnst It. Hut, as we said about Woodruff, If the people of the upper portion of Laurena county want *to detach themselves from the county ?cat and turn to Fountain Inn, we will jray It is their right to decide and we Will wish them well, 'hit, we do not believe they want to leave us and we hope that another election Will not be forced upon us. . a CONDITIONS REMEDIED AT PORT ROYAL Hale of Liquor to Sailor Lads has been Stopped Since Ultimatum of Sec.
