The Advertiser suggested a move ment several weeks ago for the clos ing of tho stores about seven o'clock during tho winter time. One of the loading merchants of the city has heartily endorsed the Idea and has urged further agitation of the move ment. What about it gentlemen? ? * ? Of the fourteen prisoners sentenced by the court last week, the county supervisor sent every one to the coun ty chain gang. If all the counties would follow tho same practice, the problem of providing employment for Convicts at tho state penitentiary would bo solved and the roads of the state would bo greatly bcncfltted ?! the same time. ? ? e Congratulation to tho patrons of the Cray Court-Owlngs high school for tho step forward in voting bonds for a new school building. One is sad ly needed. With the splendid record of tho past few years and with future growth only uncertain because of in adequate facilities, a defeat of the movement would have been a reflec tion upon the comtiuunlty and a blow to its progress, a serious set-back to' the educational progress of the whole county. With Intorost so awakened in the county that four different locali ties have voted bonds for new build ings, truly the County can be proud Of the educational advancement. With this new building provided for, the Oray Court-Owlngs high school should continue to maintain the enviable record which it lias made in the past. Poplar Spring Rota.

If this is so. the power company ought to keep tho pon i full, as tho health of the community Is for should be) of more itnpotranee than the making of a few dollars by i I iw individuals.

Mitchell, Pastor. sn11.(Mi LUTTEB. siiHolt, Sept. i.*>.--wise nature lov ers tell us that already autumn lias come with Iho shortening of the days and the unronowed power of the slant lux hum. Take a walk and you will see a multitude- of tokens of the autumn. It Is a cheerful though, even if It seems to illustrate the power of see ing what one most desires to see. Fix pressed In terms of thought, life, this faculty of vision, might Indeed he call ed a sore of self ??reflection, it is really a free Choice between alternatives. One must have knowledge and inward cheer to feel the autumn so vividly through 'he s*inging of the cool au tumn, it Involves in kindred things a wholesome ose of the powers of will. We may concentrate' our attention on the wintry aspect of the world, or we may look through this to lind some reality of autumn. It is like the ob server's swing of the telescope?>wc may lower it until we see nothing hut the sordid details of some distant dust heap. Or we may raise It to make discoveries among the stars. A mere thoughtless optimism la, of course, foolish and impossible, but It Is whole some for the soul to cultivate the ha bit of raising the telescope. It means not merely a way to ?et enjoyment out of life, but also to contribute tu the joy and strength of others. The re flection of auch an inward Cheer Is one of the best gifts we have to offer to the world. And It Is possible to reach possession of It by cultivating tho habit of seeking out the best, even In autumn experiences and stormy days. Picking cotton and hauling It to tnarket demands tin? time of the farm ers. The rotton crop will not he as good as we flrst thought. t'p until the middle of August, the crop looked promising, with a full crop assured. It is now the opinion of the farmers, the orop will be forty per cent off, In this community and maybe less. iLittle Marie Aborcromblo, who has been Buffering with toothache, ami Master .1.

The time has about come when the people are ready to support a real good roads mover ent. ?Laurens Advertiser. Wo hope this Is true, and believe it is.

It is an Investment that will ;>: y large r dividends to all tho people than any other Investment they could possibly make.

Cotton is being picked out very fast in this community. There will not be a large crop, as was thought at first. There are hundreds of bushels of potatoes for sale in Hillside. The market at Fountain Inn offers only forty cents per bushel. How's that? The government report lias it that there is a great shortage In the 1913 crop of potatoes. If that Is true, why is there no market for them In Foun tain Inn, Peizer or Willlamston? Are not there any merchants la those towns enterprising enough to engage sales elsewhere, and thus make a handsome profit? Think it over.
