Leders should not be mailed later than Monday morn Ing. Welcome to UlO county fair! ? ? ? Tills fall Is a mighty good time to economize and "clear up" any Indebt edness contracted during the past. ? ? ? It would bo a line Idea If the mer chants of the city would so arrange as to allow each of their clerks a por tion of the day Friday so that they may visit the lair lor several hours. ? ? ? Visit the county lair, see the prize products <>!' other people, llnd out how these products were raised and then return home determined to oxccll the one from whom your Information was obtained. ? ? ? The governor says he i.-. in favor of "good poker, honest horse racing and cook lighting." where these elevating games are not characterized by gam bling. Tho governor has an amazing sense of humor, if nothing else. He might have added "good, plain old time stealing" or "honest grafting", etc. The audience will all rise while v. e laugh. ? ? ? As predicted in these columns hi ;t week, the Philadelphia Athletics walk ed away with the "so-called" (Hants of New York in the last throe games of the world's series. While anybody with the least bit of judgment in base' hail matters might have known thai , ti.e (Hauls we-e (dearly outclassed in i every department of the game (pitch ers oxcoptod) by the Philadelphia lads. I it was hardly expected even by us that they would walk away with four out of five of the games. The series came nearor approaching a genuine snap for the Muckmcu than any thing that tiny had heretofore been up against. Our sympathies are hereby extended to the New York followers. ? * * * During the county school fair in the spring the city police doparp.nont did excellent service in directing trallle on the Crowded street corners. As an equally large crowd if not a larger crowd is expected Friday, it is hoped that these corners will bo guarded again. The largo number of automo biles, buggies and wagons which have to pass and meet each other on tho coi ners make some kind of an execu tive ofllccr almost Impenrtive. Any how. Laurens is getting big enough to put on metropolitan airs and big, handsome (?) policeman, standing on t!:e corner master of any situation liable to arise, looks good, even if he is not absolutely needed, So let's have one on each corner and protect those who walk and those who ride as well. ? ? ?

Heretofore, which ever one of us who has happened io be in the office when bouquets were brought in has idmltted being the edi tor, but has laid it on the olher one when our callers brought their ham mers. Hut your Undo Sam. the old sleuth, has exposed us both and each now has to take what la coming to him and accept the consequences. On this occasion, In view of the sprink ling of taffy, we Will plead guilty to the findings of the post oftlce depart ment and at tho same time return thanks for the bouquets.
