It. seems as if the administra tion might appoint suitable men to these ofllcns without Inflicting us with any more primaries. While the origi nal nominations sent by the attorney general were sotuowhiil unfortunate from a political standpoint, both men would till the oillccs creditably and Hoy should receive ihn nomination. Dilatory tactics in tills matter will certainly cause dissatisfaction and thy longer tho selection is put off tho larger will ho tho sores to heal. ? ? ? COCAINE USB. The arrest by tho sheriff's office of three men charged with transporting cocaine should prove the opening of a determined campaign to stop the trof flco In this dangerous drug. It will he remembered that about a year ago n contributor to The Advertiser charg ed that the sale of this drug was grow ing by leaps and bounds and that the negroes in largo numbers were becom ing addicted to its use. Recent in stance of heinous crimes in several states committed by negroes under the Influence of the drug show that the use of it is confined to no special locality but that it is becoming com mon in every section. Tho injurious' effects of tho drug ;ire so pronounced I and of such dangerous character, both to the user himself and to those with whom he comes in ((intact, that strin gent efforts should he put forth to stop the sale of it. Possibly tlje use of it is no more prevalent in Lnurons county than olsowliero, hut Judging from reports cocaine is gottlng a strong foothold here. ? ? # POR MUTUAL I1BNBPIT. It cannot be stressed too often that the success of the county fair depends upon the interest which the farmers take In ii and thai the benefits to be gained from it will he almost wholly theirs. The cltl/.ons of Laurens join with the rural population in working and wishing for ;i successful exhibi tion, but. in the long run. they can do nothing but encourage and lend support. To the farmers themselves is left the burden, ami it must be con sidered in the light of a burden, of profiting from the lessons taught there. It can not be repeated too often that the county fair, such as is to be held bore, is intended as an educa tional institution for tho immediate benefit of tho fanners and the ultimate benefit of us all ami that the amuse ment idea has no p'aco in the minds of the managers. course the peo ple are not oxpe? tod to come to the fair grounds wearing an elongated expression suKKestlve of pain, but they .are not expected to come anticipating a side-show exhibi tion. Bvoynbody is expected to come with light hearts and jovial spirits, ex pecting to reap the pleasures of social intercourse with friends and neigh bors and to enjoy the benefits to be gained from observance or Improved methods In agriculture ami BtOCk-rals Ing. Come with a smile, leave with a tfmlle, but carry off with you Borne thing worth while, something to be used for your own and your neigh bor's advancement. If that Is done this county fair win have |>rovi 1 It self a valuable Institution. ItOUM) I I* OF COCAINE VENDERS. Sheriff Owiiiifs and Oilier OfllcerH Ar. rested Three Negroes In Clinton for Transport line Cocaine. Three; negroes have; been lodged In tho county jail by Sheriff Owlngs on the charge of transporting cocaine, they having been arrested in Clinton after a systematic plan had been car ried out by the .sheriff, Deputy Reid and Chief .Mason of Clinton, to entrap them in the nefarious: traffic. The ne groes arrested were Arthur Gary, Robert Hill and Nathan Williams. The arrests were made after the ne groes had taken several shipments of cocaine from the post office. The sher iff's office gol wind of the expectod shipment and laid nets to catch the consignees. Plans worked out as ex pected and the negroes were caught with the Koods on thorn They had In their possession enough of the dope to kill quite a number of people. The shipment of cocaine through the mails for illegal use is prohibited by federal laws and this violation has been reported to tho postal authorities and it is probable that the shippers will be caught In the net spread for the consignees. No warrant has as yet been Issued for them, but the post otllce department Is expected to take some action in the matter. IDEAL ESTATE TRAN SEEKS.
