Hhis extract Is taken:
off your statements are true, which I
fdo not doubt, the county board of Lau-
4rens has t~raDscended their authority
n we will not recognize their action as
legal. YOU questions in regard to the
legal status of the newly en~franchised

The illegallty of the action OF the county
board arose from not having the petition
on file he ten days required by law"
1t may therefore be safely said tina a
dispensary will not be established in
Laurens for TIE present at least.
1t will be observed that IN another COL
m the county board of control is called
to meet Sept. 18th inst.
The ADVERTISER has been informed
that the one eighth of an acre decided to
the fifty nine or sixty persons in order to
make them freehold voters really con-
tains something like 200 square feet. If 1t
were partitioned each of the sixty would
own less than four square feet. The land
is said to have about the shape of a bug

one end and perhaps O hundred yards
long and tapers down TO an INVISIBLE
point. That's what a gentleman who is
familiar with the land says of it.

in the 10th year OF his age. Though
comparatively a young man, surrounded
by a bright, interesting family, with a
lovely home and sunicienoy Of wealth to
make life desirable; Notwithstanding all
this, unlike so many others he let go the
world, with all its allurements and ev-
eryday seemed to become more indiffer.
ent to the things of life. How beautiful
the picture! Less Of the world, more OF
Christ. For two years he had felt that,
from some cause, his health was failing,
yet when the INC came it was sudden
and heart.rending. His life was a livinp
epistle, known and read by those who
knew him best. He leaves a helpmeet
to whom he chung to the last with indy
ing affection, together with two sons and
two daughters to mourn their great loss,
May the God and Father Of us all so oy.
errule all things as that they may be an
unbroken family above.
Inc vacant chair is set aside,
Ills voice is hushcd and still;
And memories of the loved and lost
Doth yet our bosoms thrill.
O help us LORD 10 humbly bow
To this, thy Christening rod
Prepare us all to m~cefNagain
Around the throne Of God.

over anything now, you are at the
Fair to see ii and you revel i'm the
notion that you will succeed. Your
eyes strive nobly to respond to
to all demands, they are peeping
and peering, up, down, across and
around corners and drinkingin me-
chanical and artistic worlds in
gulps.
For two glorious hours they stand
up to their work and in that time
you have received more lasting
impressions than you will obtain
in the week that follows. 1t is all
new and grand now and the daz-
zling pictures sink into your mind
to abide. For the time you are sat-
isfed that every exhibit is obedi-
emily registering itself in your
memory and that you will be able
to deal out graphic descriptions by
the yard to your friends at home.
But the two hours are over and
you begin to appreciate the bigness
of the Worlds Fair. 1t has sud-
denly fallen upon you like a feather
bed from some tall height above.
Its weight sinks into you, down,
down and settles in your feet and
ankles. There it stays. Your
whole body is soaked with fatigue,
but the mighty weight is all below
the knees. Thenceforward you
to walk but crawl without
getting on all fours. Novelties and
marvels continue to paint them
selves on the crowded retinas
and the mind has a hazy
consciousness that the pro-
cesses r going on. But the in
~toXicating joy of sightseeing is
over. Wonders have ceased. You
are now "doing" the fair. You
have a fixed purpose to wander
through aisles and avenues graced
by thousands Of articles priceless
in value. wrought through months
and years of persevering toll by tho
worlds most cunning artists and
skilled workman. Yours is the de-
termination to see them; that is
why you arc at the fair, and you
are in cold earnest per
forming your task. You sit
here for a while and rest, you lunch
under this pavilion to-day and
that tomorrow, and ever and oc-
casionally you withdraw from the
crowd to indulge in something that
amuses and does not instruct. See
ing exhibits though is business,
strictly business, and while it is
one of engrossing and absorbing
interest it none the less conquers
and browns your powers of mind
and body in WEAKNESS.

travelling female players Friday. The
city council exacted a license OF $50 and
so prevented the game from occurring
