Obituaries and Card of Thanks: One Cent a Word. Entered at the poetotlice at Laurens, H. C., as second class mail matter. LWAVENS, S. C., DEC. 3, 1919. mr. John L. ILerwis Is about the finest o(l eanioullageulr we know of. "We can't fight otir governinent," he ex elainis with miagniticent stage effect and then leaves the nation throttled and hound abollt as tight as it could he. The 1la-Nist denomination Is to be coligra tu laIted ilon the magnificent record it is m1lahing in raising $75, 000,0tilt for lnevolent n'nd education al pIrl-poses. We have not seenl a re port of the entire campaign, hut it appears that South Carolina Baptists sibscribed more than their quota the first day. With such spirit and wIth such funds the denomination cannot fail to go forward. Closing of stores yesterday at. folir o'clock in the afternoon by order of the governllent brought forcibly to the front the seriousness of the coal situation in the nation. Already the city's largest enterprise, on which a thousand people are dependent for a livelihood. had closed for several days with he probability of closing in definitely today. The situation, grow ing worse every day, is about .the same all over the nation 'with the promise of resilts being more serious in thie cold mianufacturi'n'g districts of the North and East. The 'end of the great. var, fought for the safety and happiness of the nation, finds instead a selfish and tiendish struggle for more pay aid less labor on the one side and ilore profits on tile other, all caleilated to prove aidl may yet prove S disastrous as war itself.

Although but two weeks have passed sinco The Advertiser announced its big Puzzle Contest, it is evident that, a whole raft of people are interested in the wonderfull chart and ti, kt count ing and still other countings are go ing on while results of the countings are coming in to The Advertiser of lice. Already a large number of con testants have entered answers to the puzzle and some of them, after a sec ond and third counting, have sent in subsequent answers going to show that the puzzle is not near as easy as it looks to be from a glance. As a matter of fact, the wide variety in the answers indieates the difficulty of hit tlug the nimber "just right." Systemt? Dlid you say systel? y lry imaginable system is being used to arrive at the correct number of the ellsive little circles. Some are so sitre of their systems that they have sent inl but, one answer with the limit of $3.00 paid on subscript lions, play ing for the biggest. prize, while others not so sItre are sending the results of several coltits. ,ludging from tie number of new subscriptions being received where names anId addresses are very similar to those already o the list, we fear that some of-the Contestanllt have not read the rules careftIly about renew alis and l( new subseripitons. Ilovisionl is made ill the rulI es for a member of a family where the paper is already being aken, to enter the contest and have tile subscription applied to the old subscriber. Those who have mis understood this part of the Contest and have sent in new subscriptions when they would rather have had tie money applied on an old subseription may have tile change made by writing to the luzzle Malanager. We hear of qIutite a few men who say that they are working on the puzzle just for the diversion. That siows how appealing the contest is, but the object of tile cotlest priicipaily is to afford a pleasant tiethod of paying subscr iptions before the advance in price on .Janluary Ist. The I'uzzle Manager does not objec; to affording diversioln to trvaders of tile paper and is aflad to be able to do so. but he is principally interested ill tile sulwerip tions. So, wietre on1 of these diverted hitsiness mn hIs solved ihi' pyzzle according to his taste he may divert himself still further anld arcept the opport tiliy of 'winnitng a valuable ( sh prize by ret 11rn' ilg:- i his cotunlt with from One to 'I'hreet Dollars to the I'uz z.I Malager. * Likes the Old Pnper. * *a* *g * a *a* a * e .....
