suit instituted in the Common
Pleas, this county, in the last few days
has, and is exciting some COMMENT
Ordinarily the Court House is such q
common place and lawsuits, such
wearisome affairs that people bent on
peace, quiet and order and who mean
20 hold good opinion of humanity,
scrupulously avoid its appurtenances,
Just as they say good folks avoid and
dodge politics and elections. But the
matter we have in hand is exciting talk.
About the lst OF May 1899 as reported
1T was telephOned from Clinton to the
Sheriff Of the county that one John II.
Chaney was raising hign jinks, was as
crazy as a loon and the wife and family
OF the mailman In imminent peril. The
Sheriff phoned to apply to the eff
cient police of Clinton and that he
himself was without authority in the
promises. subsequently, a son Of the
unfortunate gentleman came to this
city and, upon proper atlidavits and or
der OF the Judge Of Probate, the Sher-
III sent his deputy to Clinton, ar
rested the unfortunate and brought
him to Jail in handouts, where he was
kept sin duranCe vile" for the space
Of two days. The story goes that in
that time the poor fellow, breathing
the atmosphere Of this "chemically
pure. town, with the calm and placid
environment, became calm, quiet and
demure in mis- demeanor, not calm like
the father Of Capt. Absolute, but
real bona tido, sweet summcr-like
calm. Thereupon he was discharged,
precisely how docs not now appear,
but he was released and allowed to go
"without day" Now Mr.. CLANCY
brings his suit which has been this day
filed for the snug sum Of $4,000 against
Sheriff McCravy, Judge of Probate,
O. G. Thompson, Jailer Bagwcll and
Mr.. George Smith, the town marshall
OF Clinton for the indignity and out
rage, the physical damage and the
damage resulting to his business. Now
this is the story as told to us and the
complaint OF the grievance is mat
ter Of record. Mcssrs. lrby 81 Bahb,
Attorneys Of this city and MessrS.
Graydon 81 Giles, Attorneys of Green
wood, bring the suit for the Plaintiff
We understand that an answer will be
put in for the Defendants at once and
il so the cause will stand for trial at
the ensuing term which convcnes
February the 18th.

The city OF Greenville will before
the end OF the present year have addi-
tional cotton mill investments amount
ing to considerably more than a mil
lion dollars. No town was ever better
paid by investments in manufacturing
than this has been within the last two
years. What is Laurens doing now?
While the town would be helped by
the construction of other cotton mills,
it should be remembered that they
are not the only form Of manufacturing
open to the South. The Laurens County
News is authority for the statement
that a furniture factory is under dis
cussion for this city. The ADvER-
rISER has not Investigated and pre-
tends to no knowledge of furni-
ture making, but there's no reason
conceivable why a furniture factory
bullt here would not pay. The move
ment should have ample encourage
mcnt.

Furniture Factory,

a furniture factory would pay in
Laurcns. These factories pay hand
somely at High Point, North Carolina,
and at various places in Georgia, whore
they have been butt within the last
ten or fifteen years. Laurrns is in the
centre Of a splendid territory for such
an enterprise and there is everything
TO encourage its establishment. a
movement is on foot to build such a
factory and good men are at the head
of it, men who know every item con-
nected with the furniture business -
THE ADVERTISER will have more to
say on this subject later on.

of New York.

A Chicago Times Herald New

The fact that the prince of

aud that he has not done so for
months, perhaps years, will be an
awful shock to fashionable New
York. The startling news has just
reached here. 1t came from n photo
graph of the prince, showing that
his trousers are absolutely crease
less. The whole thing is deliberate
The prince has rstoppcd sending his
trousers to be pressed. And he
didn t tell New York society any
thing about it.
While the prince has gone back to
unironed trousers, President Nc
Kinley hasn't. The ''tirst gentle
man Of America has his dressed
every morning by his private secre-
tary or someone else before he puts
