So, for the sake of argument and "'ith absolute innocence of any Intention to change the views of our fellow tarpayers in Clinton as regards TAurens voters, we tehall give a little space to a few re marks on the election. In the fircit place, Laureus -does not need to make an orplanatida of its vote. 'The Advertiser saw fit to en dlorse both project~s before the election, but some 122 free and untrammelled Laurens democrats refused to take or dlersc from its and voted as their eon seig'ncos no doubt dictated against the Mubsgrove project. It is a plausible theory at least that they thought that undinished jobs abould be completed or 'rprovided for before new ones are begun. It is posalible that these 123 yeo>men were influenced in their bal lots by baso motives of pcrejudie against Clinton. We have no doutbt but' that, in theit p-asent fracvo 'a mind our Clinton friends believe that the whole outfit voted on these grounds. We won't say that they didn't, 'but knowing a fow of them and what they have done for Clinton we (10 not believe they did. Tbe Chronicle, before drwineg a comparison between the Musgrove and (}winlgs projoets as they relate to 'lau rena, might observe from the map i~hat considerations of self-interest would have prompted us in Iau rens to have voted against the Ow ings project also. This projct, a will be observed, gives Owings and Gray Court as 'well as the buying public of Laurens a diroct top-soil connection. to Fountain Inn and Greenville. where as had we voted against this iprojoct and killed this roadi we would have had the upper towns of the county connected with us by good r'ends and cutt off from G'reenville by the had sec.. tion 'between Owings and Fountain Inn. Now, let's consider a few of the precinct votes.
