Help tho Orphans.

The Thornwell Orphanage, IN
der the presidency of it's founder,
Rev. DR.. Jacobs, is al institution
for the education and technical
training of orphan boys and girls.
1t is located in Clinton, South
Carolina. Nine handsome stone
cottages house the children. In
addition there are school build
lhgs, general dining-hall, Indus
t-ial and Technical schools, IL
brary and shops. A farm of a
hundred acres gives the boys OPP
portunity for learning that bust
les
These orphans represent fifteen
different States -(every Southern
State) and their parentage was of
eleven different denominations Of
Christians. They are received at
the tender age of SIX, and after
being taught to take care of them
selves, go out to lucrative posi-
tions.
The cost of supply is comparat-
lively small. Five dollars will
board, clothe and school a boy or
girl for a month. This could not
be done, were it not that the
young people are a busy set and
practice self-help. The money
that cares FOR them is that which
each benevolent individual gives,
as moved by his own heart, or the
Father of all. There is not q
state in the Union that does not
contribute. No one compels. No
one is responsible for their sup
port. Often, there is but q days
supply ahead; but NEVER, in the
25 years of its existence, has there
been want. He that says: 81 am

to have o hand in this. And what

Maryland rejoins the Democratic
household. What their Democracy is
remains a problem. New Jersey is
still with the Republicans and so of
Ohio. Kentucky at this writing is in
doubt and the official count must de-
termine and then the Courts and the
Legislature must all have a pull in the
matter. Nebraska, Bryan's State, goes
with the fu~sionists, which means the
democrats. Bryan made the fight. All

BREWERTON ITEMS.

A killing frost has come at last
and ploughing up potatoes is the
order for u few days and then
wheat sowing will begin in earnest.
There has been more land seeded
to oats already il our community
than ever before at any one
time. There will also be a large
crop of wheat put in if the weather
will admit. The farmers have
learned that it will not do to de-
pend upon cotton to buy every
thing and that the shortest road
to bread is to SOW wheat.
Mr.J.Y. Pitts, Eddie Pitts, Mills

Mr.. Ben Prewit and wife Of An

Mrs. j. L. and Thos. Martin, of
Mt. Gallagher, last week.
Mr.. w. II. Pitts has sold out his
place near Friendship church and
has purchased the old homestead
where he was raised and will build
a house and move in it by Christ

Mr.. Frank Redden has decided
not to sell his place, but will rent
it and move to Clinton and keep
a boarding house.
Prof. Fleming's school at Brow
erton has grown to 43 scholars.
Prof. Griffin, Of Anderson county,

has some 80 odd scholars.
Capt John M. Hudgens, of Lau-

the Smith estate which will be
sold Salesday in December.
Bart Cooper has moved to the
laurens Cotton Mills with his
family and also MI. A. l.. Mckee
and family. There is talk of sew
eral others moving there from our
community.
Well. Mr.. Editor, we can boast
of Laurens cotton market, but the
Ioau !eaulnS TO LauroES from
Boyd's Mill we cannot boast of.
But we DO say that it is q shame
to Laurens county to keep such
roads. | an satisfied the road I
speak of has not been worked the
whole year. Why is there 50
much partiality shown? Our
roads have been worked the full
limit of the law, butif you wanted
to go to Laurens by the way of
Boyd's Mill this winter you could
not get there with a loaded wagon.
Our Commissioners should have
the roads worked or quit the bust
ness.

held a caucus in Columbia last week
attended by Senator Tillman, It's god

his peculiar pitchfork vernacular in
reference to recent revelations de-

the fact that change and reform are

The Forests and the Game.

The columns OF THE ADVERTISER
show that land owners in Laurens are
interesting themselves to see that the
game birds, fish and other game shall
not be utterly destroyed. The land
owners are as a class liberal, public
spirited and generous. They do not
want everything for themselves, but
they do want the quail, the squirrel,
bro rabbit and the ineffable opossum
Tor their friends and themselves. Hog
n hominy may be had every day, but
a tray Of quail or immortal opossum is
a dish to set before a King. Besides
night hunting endangers the little for
est left in the land and economy and
taste demand that the country should
not be made a desert How to preserve
u fast going and health conserving
forests is now a national question. Our
own Legislature has appointed an Ar
Dor Day for the schools as an object
lesson for those who are to come after
ns and occupy the land. The forests
and the game must be preserved. 1t is
from no selfish motive that land own
ers propose to conserve them, but from
the purest spirit. In season and upon
request their premises are free to
friends and ncighbors for hunting.
fishing and all legitimate purposes.

When Tillman came it was duly an
nounced that the State Fair was a pc
litical machine which arranged all the
political matters of the State. This
was probably true. And O it is an
nounced that every politician in the
State was at the State Fair last week
This too is probably true, very proba-
bly,, but it will take just twelve months
to hatch the eggs put to setting last
week. 1t will be found that the arti-
fcial incubator process rarely does
well and that the cd fashioned way of
riskinR the eggs under a stolen nest
makes the winning chicks. Surely the
people must soon learn TO select the
political poultry yard.
