BURGLARY

Sunday night burglars broke into the
hardware store of D.. & +. Kusel &
Co., on The east side, and stole
some change from the money drawer and
small amount of goods, valued at about
$500, consisting Of pocket knives,
razors and two revolvers. The thieves
effected an entrance through the rear
door, which they opened by saving an
aperture large enough for mans hand
and forcing back the catch of the lock.
One of their tools, an inch and half
chisel, they left in the store. No arrests
have been made.

MONTE CRISTO.

At Turner Hall, last Friday evening,
the play of Monte Cristo, by the Alden
S. Benedict troupe, with the title role by
Frank Linden, was one of the most salts
factory performances ever rendered en- the
WATERFOWL boards. Mr. LindoD is an
easy, graceful actor, free from anything
like rant in his portrayals, and he finely
sustains the reputation he has received in
his profession. The scenic effect of the
play was good. There was a full house
present.

REV. E. l. EATON'S LECTURE ON TEMPERANCE

A very large audience assembled at the
M. E. church, Monday evening, to listen
to the lecture on temperance, by the Rev.
E. T. Eaton, of Madison, which was de-
livered under the auspices of Rescue
Temple of Honor. Before proceeding to
speak, Rev. Mr.. Eaton sang several
selections in his inimitabe style, his
clear notes falling upon the ear most
pleasantly. The speaker said that it took
long time for any reform TO be worked
out to successful end. Take slavery,
which was as old as the race, and lis
abolition was only accomplished in our
day, the four great emancipators, being
the Gar of Russia, Wherefore, the
Emperor Of Brazil, and Lincoln, of Him
OILS. To these great names should have
been added John Brown, whose soul goes
marching on the world over in Freedoms
cause. TIE speaker claimed great pro-
gress in the cause of Prohibition. He
cited Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, Kansas and Iowa as having
adopted it, with Missouri and five or six
states of the South almost prepared to
receive it. The great evils attending the
use of Intoxicating drink, was dwelt upon
with forcible illustrations and Its effect
upon the human system was especially
emphasized. The impure and adulterated
liquors in use, the speaker regarded as
the worst feature of the liquor traffic, and
from which proceeded much of the mis-
chief produced, both to the body and
society Here would be an opportunity,
perhaps, to make war upon the adulterat
ing compounds, which seem to be more
producing than the pure article.
The speaker did not believe that the act
of taking a glass of beer or liquor was in
itself sin, but alcohol being injurious to
health, man was unjust to himself in
using it.
Upon emptation the speaker spoke with
great vehemence and he held up fearful
picture of the attitude of the tempters
and those who allured their fellow.men
into the ways of evil and vice. The saloon
he would have, wholly devoid of any at
fractions or allurements to entice men
into its portals, was described in most
ludicrous, but, at the same time thrilling
manner, and this with other pictures
drawn, created quite sensation in the
audience.
The lecture abounded in anecdotes and
stories, some of them we'll told and to the
point while others, it would seem, might
better have been left unsaid. Taken as
whole, however, the lecture was a good
one, and the speaker had the satisfaction
of being closely followed all through by
his audience, showing that great interest
was manifested in what was being said.
At the close G. @. Eaton rendered a
fine vocal selection, which was followed
by several from Rev. Mr.. Eaton, among
them being Beautiful Hands" and
''Tired Mothers" The audience was
dismissed with the benediction pro-
nounced by Rev. VIM. Paul.

In our advertising columns tell their own
story.
What the q. L. s. 8. Railroad Has Done for
US.
Our new road, the q. l.. & s., has been
in operation To this place about onoyoar,
and only about six months to Spartan
burg. Being unfinished most OF the
timo, and "a new road. tho following COM
patiVely accurate figures will surprise
ANY OF readers: During the year
this road has been doing business to
Iaurcns, IL has transferred to and from
Laurens 5000 passengers, or in other
words, about $40 car loads. To carry
these would require 40 good engines, as
very rev passenger engines can manage
a train of & coaches, besides mail and
baggage cars. Does this not seem to bc
Il pretty fair business for a now and
partly unfinished road2
They have just finished grading the
street to their depot, at a cost of over
$500, and they further agreo to furnish
the rock, provided the Town will macad-
amiZe 1t.
The GIL. & s. prides itself ON its rapid
transit of freight, especially western
business. They can cite instances of
solid cars rom Louisville, KY, and
Nashville, Tom, in three days.
n few years ago Laurens was without
a%railroad. Our merchants, during those
days, paid one dollar per hundred for
freight hauled by wagons from New
berry and Greenville, to Laurens. A
gentleman told me, a few days ago, that
he at onetime received $3.50 for a wagon
load OF goods hauled by him from New
berry to this place. At that time the
cost OF hauling from Newberfy to Lau-
rens, IN a sack of salt, was moro than
The original cost of tho salt aud tho
freight charges from Liverpool to New.
berry. What n change has taken place.
Now, we have % better rate of freight
than either Newberry or Greenvilie, and
moro especially on Western freight, We
have a bcttor rate from the West on -four
per barrel, by nearly 20 cents, thar
other GreeGville orlNewberry.
Wethink IL best that the good thinge
in this world come by degrees, were II
otherwise We could not survives
q
