A Junketing Tour to LaurenS.

Under this head Brother WALLACE,
of tno NeWberry Observer, gives an in
tesesting account Of u recent visit to this
place. In closing he says:
"The streets of Laurens are the worst
/ eyer saw in a town of this size and inn
p~ortance, contrasting strangely with
donces. I asked a resident why the
streets were not put In better ordor. He
replied that tho Town Council are kept
40 busy resignlDg, they don't have time
30 attend to the streets"
Our streets are certainly IN n bad con-
dition, and nothing tends to dis
courage strangers who come here pro-
specting, than to see this lack of enter
prise, yet, what can DO done? It 10 true,
wo have had several different sets of
officers recently, but none who would
not willingly improve our streets If they
could Any ono familiar with the H.
nancial condition Of our town knows
full we'll the cause OF our bad streets.
ft Is simply because tho Council has not
the necessary funds. We would do
anything for improvement In this di-
rection, but we cannot censure h Town
Council for this, because, after stretching
thor taxing power TO tho utmost oxtent,
they can barely raise sufficient funds
to meet the current expenses. Indeed,
II is doubtful IL thoy can mako both ends
meet this year. Let some one suggest
how tho money can DO raised, so as to
make shts needed impr oven ent.

No Objection.

We think IL neighbor of the
Uedinm is mistaken in saving.
some or our contemporaries are
very indignant at Il. II Tillman be-
auS he wishes the farmers to
unite for self projections" We *
change with nearly all of the pa
pers OF the State and we haven't
seen any evidence that any BODY
was indignant with MIR. Till
man on any such grounds. Most
OF them who have had anything to
say on the subject agree With
what we have said heretofore.
That u farmers are not the poor
spirited, Oppressed" and "des-
pissed" class, some would have ia
believe. Nor r they "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" as the
Medium calls them. Will the Ne
dunn name some OF the farmers i'm
this county who are "hewers OF
wood and drawers Of water,n and
state who they chew and drawn
for? No, no, gentlemen, our far
mers are manly, independent men
and know how to express and en-
force their convictions. They are
"AS
not children In leading strings.
Cooperation among farmers Is
not Objectionable" BY no manner
Of means. 1t is on the contrary.
laudable and desirable. Lawyers
have their Bar Associations, Doc
tors have their Medical Societies,
merchants their Exchanges, arti-
sans their Unions, and SC on. Even
we editors, neighbor, have our Press
Associations BY all means then,
the farmers ought to have their as.
sociations. But don't try to make
them believe they are Ishmaelites,
whose hands r against whom ia
eycrybody's hand. The people be-
gin to suspect that such talk is not
likely 10 be productive of any good.

Words of Wisdom.

There 10 no policy like politeness;
and y good name, or to supply the
want OF it.
Let friendship gently creep to a
height; IL it rush to it, it may coon
run itself out of breath.
In studying character, do not be
blind to the shortcomings Of q warm
friend or the virtues Of a bitter
enemy.
III thou dcsirest ease, in the first
place take are of the ease Of thy
mind, for that will make other
sufferings easy.
1t is no help to a sailor to see q
flash of light across Il darkness, if
he does not instantly steer accord
ingly.
The seeds of love can never grow
but under the warm and genial
influence Of kind feelings and az
fectionatc manners.
Words are spiritual forces, angels
Of blessing or OF cursing. UEut-
tered, we control them; uttered
they control us.
1t is better to be the builder OF
u W name than to he indebted
by descent for the proudest gifts
known to books Of heraldry.

JOE PRINCE.

Some North Carolina Soldiers had a
iokeon one of our South Carolina Colo-
nclS, during tho war. | don't know
which II of u Colonies il was, but
tho joke is a very good one: On one oc-
casion he was leading his regiment i'm a
charge. He charged bravely and cheercd
his men Justify, TIL he came in sight of
tho cncmy; then he fell to tho ground,
unable to move another step, but he
shoutcdto his men all tho same; ''charge
on, my brave boys, your gallant leaders,
exhausted"
And that's tho way it is with mo to-
lay. L am right sick, too siok to writo
any thing, even if l had something
worth writing. But I nopo my brother

Will have something good for the AD-
VERT1sER, SO that my scribbling will not
be missed. And / believe ] will toll
them n more joke in the samo line:
When Tom Jinkens started to the war,
his n%cighbor, BIZ Cole, came over to bid
him good bye. Bill had Il stiff knee and
was therefore exempt. But, YOU see,
his heart was in the cause, and SO with
tears in his eyes he graspcd Toms
hand: "Wcll Tom, old fellow, I'm sorry
to see you leave. Good bye, old fellow;
but now you may depend upon it, if 1
was able I'd DO with you'll" Tho general
opinion was that Bill wouldn't have
taken Il million Of dollars for that stir
knee.

-Obediah Thomson, the negro
who was lynched at Spartanburg
on the LIST instant for tho outrage
committed upon Mrs. Lancaster, is
said to have recently made two
other unsuccessful attempts-onc q
colored woman and tho other on a
white woman, who only escaped his
brutality by fleeing. When tho
rope was around his neck and the
the buggy was about to be driven
from under him he was asked if he
had anything to say. The Spartan
burg Spartan records this us the
wrctch's last words: 81 did the
decd. | am guilty and ought to
suffer. don't know what got into
me. 1t seems that | did not know
what [ was doing. Let me have
a little time to pray" The Spartan
thus initiates its condemnation of
the affair: "In the crowd that en-
tcrod the jail some were boistcrous-
~ drunk, but the greater portion of
them were sober. 1t was Il brutal,
criminal and defiant lynching. 1t
is due the City Council to state
that when the mon gathered May
or Walker ordered the drug stores
to sell whiskcy to no one. This
was a wise and thoughtful order"

There arc many curious facts
in American history. Three vice
presidents, Gerry, Hendricks and
Wilson, died i'm NovemberHt dates,
which might all come in a single
week. No President, either in or
out of office, has dicdin November,
though six have died in July and
four in June. Garfield died in Sep
tcmber, Lincoln in April, Taylor in
July and Harrison in April. Two
vicc-presidents have been indicted
for treason. These were Aaron
Burr and John G. Brcckcnridg.
One vice-presidcnt, John G.. Cal
houn, resigned his Office, and seven
men have held both presidential
an presidential chairs. john
Adams, Washington's vicc-prcsi-
dent, succeeded him in the White
House. Jefferson, Adams vice
president, did likewise, and Martin
Van Buren,, n Of Jackson's vice
presidents, was his SUCCESSOR. The
other four became President by
death. They were Tyler, Fillmore
Johnson and Arthur.

Clearing Distractions.

BY reference to n notice Of the County

will be seen that all persons who own
land on water-courses are required to
cloar them Of distractions in 10 days.
This la an important matter and it il

town and the vast scope OF country
through which this stream passes, de-
mands prompt and thorough work.
