DR.. Fairs Savannah Call.

The announcement made in the
Dispatch yesterday morning that Rev.
DR.. James Y. Fair, the greatly-be-
lovedpastor OF the Grace-Street Pres
byterian church, had received and
was ~favorably considering a call to the
the pastorate Of the Independent
Presbyterian chnrch, of Savannah,
was received with anxiety by his con-
g%regation, every member of which Is
greatly attached to their pastor.
Expressions of sincere regret at
the bare possibility of losing DR.. Fair
were freely made yesterday on all
sides, and but for the extreme illness
of his mother, who passed away dur
ing the afternoon, DR.. Fair would no
doubt have been waited upon by sew
eral delegations to urge him to de-
cline the call. 1t Is not known now,
since the bereavement in his family,
whether he will go to Savannah Sum
day or not.--Richmond Dispatch.

To THE LAURENs ADVERTISER:

10 THE LAURENS ADVERTISER:
In your paper of the I'd inst. is
an article under the heading of
Cherokee and othe names, copied
from the Spartanburg Herald, in
which Is the following: "There is
a Buffalo Creek on the York side,
1t rises up in Cleveland county and
comes down for a few miles
through the new county. Near it's
mouth Col. Williams, who was
mortally wounded at Kings Noun
tain, Is buried. His grave ia un-
marked. Since his descendants
have failed to mark his grave, we
suggest that the daughters of the
Resolution of the Piedmont section
erect q stoDe of some sort to his
memory"
Now this is very kind OF the
Herald's correspondent, and a very
proper thing to do, If there is no
mistake, about this very important
matter. I have never been to Kings
Mountain. Ilivedi In Georgia when
The matter Of a Monument was be-
ing discussed, consequently am
not as well informed as / ought to
be, but unless I am very badly mis-
taken, my uncle, the late Col. John
d. Williams, who was a man Of
great wealth and took a very lively
interest in perpetuating the men,
Dry of his Revolutionary kin he
being a grandson of Col Williams,
had a monument erected to his
memory. There was some difficult
ty in locating the grave, and he
may have had the monument erect
ed on the battle field; at any rate 1
am sure there is such q monument
somewhere about Kings Mountain.
Alb ,ut the same time he and the
late Col. James H. Irby had a hand
some Monument erected over their
uncles who were mastered at
Hays Station, in this vicinity.
This Is now in a delapidated condi-
ton. Some think it was struck by
lightning, but it looks to me that
1t was struck by an axe in the hands
Of some ignorant vandal, but Of
pure f1endishness. Be that as it
may, the monument is made of
Several panels, n of these is bro
ken In several pieces, which caused
the whole structure to fall, and
80 it lies with the pieces liable to
be carried off. One new panel,
with the inscription transferred
would mend the injury. This is
surrounded by II substantial iron
fence, which is in perfect preseva-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that some
n or more of the descendants
Of these true patriots will have
this new panel put In, thereby pre-
serving the monument.

A NOTABLE DAY.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t has been a long
time since / have written an arti-
Gle for publication and 1 take the
present opportunity Of giving you
a few dots Of what has happened
this day, (Thursday, March 18th to
me. Having business in the coun-
try. 1 set out knowing where J. was
going. After travelling a few
miles from the city of Lanrens, I
found that I had made a great
mistake in leaving the city, but
however 1 am not a man to re-
trace my steps, and on I went. I
found the roads in very bad con-
dition indeed, and requiring the
care and attention of our most
worthy Supervisor and his staff,
chain gang thrown-in. Reaching
my destination, I halted in front Of
the Bailey High School, taught by
that highly accomplished and tai
ented young lady, Miss Mary
Bramlett. In school I had the
pleasure of meeting many bright
eyes,both boys ard girls there being
a goodly number of them on the
roll, and hearing them recite their
lessons, which speaks we'll for
their kind preceptor. 1 can but
congratulate the patrons and
friends of Bailey High School in
securing the services of so excel
lent a teacher. 1 may be called
to an account for my visit by our
worthy School Commissioner, l.. II.
III. Daniel, but 1 can assure him
that my visit was strictly a BUSH
ness one. Then 1 left for home,
but concluding that I would not
return by the same way, I thought
a country road would be far more
preferable, making q few calls by
the way. My first call was at the
hO%spitable home Of my dear friend,
Mrs. Nancy Day, and to my sur
prise l found several kind friends
were there and others expected to
aid and assist her in celebrating
her ninety-fifth anniversary. A
bountiful repast was spread and
each and every one did ample JUS
tice to the occasion. 1t was a pleas
ure to the writer to hear Mrs. Day
tell of the days before he was born,
manners and customs of our fore
fathers, about the war of 1912 and
many other interesting topics. May
she live to see several more, ami
versaries. She Is the oldest person
in my recollection. Never was an
occasion more enjoyable by the
writer. The day being dreary, at
tended with light showers at inter-
walls, [ left for home, calling a few
moments to pay my kindest regards
to Rev. Mosby mempleton and the
family. I found my friend not so
,ell, but pleasant and cheerful as
was his nature, hoping for his re-
covery and that his usefulness be
spared and that he may yet see
the rich fruits Of his labor In the
field where Providence in his
wisdom has called him to labor.

HOME AFFAIRS.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.

Hereafter THE ADVERTISER will be
sent one year for one dollar to persons
who will pay in advance.
Numbers OF persons complain that
the price OF THE ADvER User is too
high. They say that one dollar a
year is enough.
The price Of the paper is placed at
one dollar a ear only because sub
scribers refuse to pay for it in ad-
vance. When the proprietor has to
take the risk Of frequently getting
nothing for the paper, and besides, has
to pay for collecting, there is no profit
at all in publishing the paper at one
dollar. If all The ADVERTISERS SUBJ
ecribers would pay one dollar in adj
vance the profit would be much better
than at one dollar and a half on O Gre
dit. Therefore, in order that there
may be no reason for complaint, THE
ADVERTISER will be sent one year to
any person who pays the dollar in ad-
vance.
Subscribers in arrears who wish the
paper at one dollar must CT course set
tie their arrears and may then pay one
dollar in advance for the twelve months
ensuing.
This rule will be rigidly adhered to.
The cash must be paid before the pa
por is sent, else the price will remain
one dollar and a half.
