We believe that we reflect the senti ment of the people of this community In saying that one of the greatest pleasures that we got out of the Chau tauqua season is that of having so many people of the neighboring towns with us at the various meetings. Their presence here, we foo, is an assur ance of their kindly feeling towards us and a recognition of iaurens' sin core destre to make the chautauqua a plea. ure and benefit for the whole cotinty. The spiritof co-operation and goed fellowshipl which exists be tween the county-seat and other con munities of the county, as seen in the Chautauqua and other enterprises of like nature, such as the'county fairs, school fairy-and educational rallies of various kinds, cannot but help make a better and more prosperous people. Lurcs has nover made any of its co operative movements into money-mak ing enter prises and doubtless this has bee-n 11'" underlying cause of their acknowledged success. Vhile our Iner''honts are as anxi.'ous to show a p'of' i:n their b itine:;s as the ler Chents of other cities, they have, as r. 1 thing. looked at these enter pri'' ir a bread way and contributed fhe':' ji an,1(i:11 sulplport for the general doing Iheir share in alvaine "1'rest o (f all, (ont nt in Iilw I ' t' at %' taIever o: kind of h ne a'crue will he shared by thc:l . 11: NI-\W lI \11.1%().\1) T dertserdon:; not wihto rdl.eordat~nt not(' in I'h; cou:n ! e f!lorI. to li i: i iri )r (4- pon t- . 0 uo h Ith ht' (' .\n: her I'o rail moad u1 ht to l 'i n 4d .:!

As he spoke of that we thought e t the raIlroad wylch The Advertiser has often suggested from 'Laurens westward to connect with the South ern over about Bolton. We also thought of the editorial in Monday's 4Columl4a Record, evidently written by Mr. William Banks, who is familiar with the section of country between hero and Anderson, in which the ad vantages of such a railroad are point ed out. The Record's editorial on the subject had already been put in type when Mr. Albert spoke yesterday and we reproduce it, here, as follows: We observe that the citizens of Lau rens and Clinton are very much inter ested in the proposed new line of railway from Spartanburg via Cross Anchor to somewhere else. Such a line of railway would open a fine section of country somewhat re mote from existing railways, and would be a developer for that section of South Carolina. But the road which Laurens first should try to get would be a connec tion fron Laurens to Belton to con nect with the Piedmont & Northern, the electric interurban. That would be the greatest thing that could ever happen for Laurens. We have long cherished the fancy that it would be a great thing for Co lunmbiu, also. For if a line is built from Belton to Laurens, it would be but a matter of a very short time until the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens would be bought and converted into an electric railway--or a paralleling electric line would be built. There is now not a bit of doubt that electric line will 1e built from Atlan ta to Anderson. For sonic years when we discussed that proposition it was to be met with an incredulous smile. But we expect yet to see the day when one can got aboard an elec trically propelled train, starting from Columbia, and going through to At lanta without change. And the natural route for such a railroad would he via Newberry, bat rens, lIelton, Anderson, and then across the Siate line.
