The different Rotations and

Water and Light.

The election as advertised was held
on Saturday last upon the question OF
the issue Of $4,000 at 6 per cent. 40
years bonds to establish electric lights
and water works. The bonds are
privileged to be redeemed in twenty
years. The vote stood 172 for and SO
against. The registration was 344.-
Complications may arise out OF the
fact that the election was ordered
upon the petition Of an alleged ma
jority Of freehold voters instead Of q
majority of free holders.
AT the same time a Board of Com
missioners Of Public Works for the
city was elected consisting OF r.
FL. Hudgens, w. R. Richey, w. w.

votes cast. They were the only per-

the Supreme Court, going up from

pounded after the formula of an eminent
Berlin physician who has used it in his

Laurens.is one OF the most pleasant
little towns in South Carolina. It lis sit
uated above the medal line between
the mountain and sea. It's water for the
most part pure and cool. While now
the days are tempered with summer
heat the nights and mornings are cool

THE PEOPLE.
The people are high toned and Gull
tured and are appreciative of what is
good and valuable in others. The
