Laurens County Is away behind in subscriptions to the last Liberty Loan. Other counties are also behind, but there are still other counties which have subscribed their quotas. -What 'they have done, however, ought not to affect our attitude toward our own campaign. We have it duty to perform and we cannot excuse ourselves from performing it because some other see tion has or has not dlone Its dity. Our regiments in France could not and did not wait to see if other regjiments hald "gone over the top" before they obeyed the ComitaIds of their officers. They learned their duty and prformed it. The governmiient exects is to do the same thing heIre. I.FFICACY OF PRAYEll. A good iany piouis souls (u9ring the -war and until Itow were wontt to pray fervently for the safety of our soldiers overseas, for an early victory and a safe return home. They (id thlen aitd now continue to give a hearty "ameni'" to the minister when he refers in feel ing teris to those still left in France and prays again for their safe return home. I'illacious as prayer might be, we all know that those fellows won't get home swithout somebody furnishes the wherewitltal. If we lray for their return and do not contriiute our part of the carfare, we are not ontly leaving the whole iting to the Lord but are uni loading our responsibility ont Him and our neiglbor proba bly in the next Pew. So, tontight or tomorrow ntight prob ably, w~hen some of you goodl brethren get dlown ont your knees to lift til your voice' int prayer' for the safo re tur'n of the boys homte, just excuse yourisel f from thle exe rc'ises a in ute wIle you reach back in you r coat pdeklet for the .Th'lanksgivling 'lxmn pledge cardi. .\ake it a thIotusanid or so andt help make your prayer ('omne 'trtue.

Editor The Advertiser: I see In recent articles the Good Roads Commission has finally adopt ed the road by Hickory Tavern to 'Princeaon. This will serve a goodly number of people and should and will undoubtedly nican bigger things for the city of Ijaurens. I will venture the assertion that there are more hone-owning people connected with this road than any section of the coun ty and 1I think my forthcoming state ments will bear me out, This gets me to one of my hobbies, that of en couraging home-owning people for a better comnmunity and a better county. 1 do not mean that good people do not owni houses but to own a thing Is to become interested in it and its sur roundings aid things that pertain hereto. Thiis road to Princeton ean be with its intersecting branch roads slinnled ip as follows: At 11111 place, 3 miles frotni town intersected by a road from A. I. fiarksdale place and another fro1 Madden section; at Siell place 3 1-2 miles out of town, by road to .1. 1). W. Waits' on to Stell Bridge and tle Andy Phli iips country, .which has large connections; at A. Ax. Garling ton's interseets road to i1. S. Wallace's and big section around and consid erabily beyond; at Geo. Dunk Arm strong's withb road to WXilson commnun ity and Liv Wolff's; also road here in tersects from Eden, Dials, Greenpond and Bulah sections, and beyond the Very best portions of the county, big stores, schools and churches; pass on by Abercroibie's store, one of, if not the largest country stores in the coun ty. I will say the largest without doubt; to the Tavern, here we con nect with the good section of Friend ship on one hand, with another road leading to lHabun and Fairview see tions connecting in 5 m1.; with the top soiled roads of Greenville county to Fointa in I1nn, Sinmpsonville, Gre'e'n ville, Fork Rhoals, Pelzer, WIlianston, Piedmiont, Anderson -,and Pickens. Contimting at Tavern again to Prince tol by Reedy River Power plant, gil nery and Imiills, through a read good sction to Princeton. connecting -with top-soiled roads to Xare Shoals and Greenlville. Tile clrches and selhools should be sole ildex to any section, so I will bigin by naming Trinity-Hlidge school, non011e dou1btless lar I'e unless perhaps another on Ile samne road, which I will later' name; Shiloh preparilg for larger things; .l'den, a nice school; Dials, another 'good 0dhool; Gtm'eeni Pond, still another of goodly propor tions; HIickory i'avern iay be tile largest; Friendship, doing well; Mer na, with il uml1ber already on a nice site, pr'eparing for better things; -lt. iBethel, wIth a llodern house; and 'rinceton in good nilibers. ilig county chuirelhes Is follows: Chestntt lt idge, Trinity, Shiloh, Dials, Grieenl Pond, ilaFriendship, llabunl, Ilendersonville, .\l 1.
