'h( possibility of freiunt t'hianges inl administration is conlsider-e4d one of the most d(sirable fIatures inl our re publican foriml of govern ment. Of ficials who stay inl office too long are sometime wont to ;,t in ruts Oiut of which they are unable to pull them selves and often lose sight of the fact that they are servants rather than bos0ses of the lpeople. If for 110 other reason tinan to reap the advantages that a change may brinlg about the election of almost an enltirely new administration for this city yesterday was a good thing. To our mind one of the greatest fauilts of the present and ipast ad ministrations has been the failure to take the Iople into confidence and to work out (ol letil t prob lrms of the city.

Editor of The Advertiser: From the introduction of an article by '.Mr. Jonas Gray of Spartanburg In a recent issiue of the Advertiser, one expected a discussion of the merits of the poll and road tax. lowever, the article concentrated its forces upon the duplicity of our Representatives in the lower house; the i ncoilpctelcy and the hidden facts of our county of fleers: the relative amount of taxes paid by him; and a note of warning. This article, therefore. will not dis cuss the wisdom oi.such taxes; will, in passing, appreciate the motive that prompted such a warning: will colt gratulate the gentleian for hi.-; hav ing such MIrift and energy with which to acmiuliate such an amount of tax alue proprty; and will discuss, brief ly, the other ihasi rses of above men tiontd article. To have at citizen and representative of another county tll is cf the dema goguiery of our' representatives i hu mtinli.iig to our electorate. '\ould 11h.!t our rotinrty r old(1 product. and our peopl eIlet such rmen as our w rit (r' desir'e. Yet. perhaps, with.I due vigilance. thei people Of Laurens 'oun ty will not 'he done an injury. The oircesntatives of other counties lav: diuties nougl to their own constitu ency without having to look after the affairs of local character in alirents cou ntI y. Some mien, however, lire en lbwed with stch a feeling for till maisis of tire pleolel that suth. a task of looking af;er local matters in oth r's con rtius becomes a pleasure..\l en of this type, are litted to sit in ile halls A " ir National A sseibly where suich inot'r it will be iiore highly appreciat i'd. 1 The opening 111) of tile incompetency and tlt, challenging of the hidden facts of the county ollicials is also hu minliating. If the writer of tlhe article had siected the county oflicers, as he attempted to do that of the iagis trate and the members of the equaliz irig board in Youngs township, per hails we would have more eflicient of flers in the county. Thierefore if the writer of said article does not aspire for congress, we suggest that a group of our citizens approach him and sug gest that he come over into this coun ty ani help 'lean up the vile situa tion. ""ome over into Macedlonia and help rus:," we cry. Aid] meanwhile let the representa live frorm Spairtanhburg look mor' closely after the road situation in his own county. So far as we know, no lart of Laurens county has wished to joln Greenville county because of outr roads. If he will devote more of his energy to his own people perhaps tlhere will be no more unrest in the eo unty. Let him first remove the beam out of his own eye and then he cn see tinore clearly the Ilote in his neigh hor's eye. Sintc(e when have the oflicers of this county been mailing out statellien 3 to citizens of another county as to the Inancial doings of the county? In making for the oflicer. wxe dare say that each is willing to render an ae ('0um0 of his stewar'dshrip any day 1o anyi ('itiz/eni of the coutyt3. 11ut thlese (13ll',rs do ask thatl an~ a((eOent be glv ('n be(forel sruch dark irsimurntionis a re pubhilredl ars of s've'r'al we'eks ago.
