VOTING CONTEST.
The Most Popular School Girl and Boy
Round Trip Tickets TO the
Exposition offered.

THE ADVERTISER has decided to
have another voting contest, this time
for the most popular school girl and
boy in the county. Everybody remem-
bers the contest in the Spring for the
"most popular young LADY,, and this
J conte st will be conducted in the same
way.
The'prizes offered + two round trip
tickets to the Charleston Exposition,
one Tor the most popular school girl the
other for the most popular school boy
In Laurens county. The contest
will last November, December and
January, and 1t will close at 4 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon before the first
issue OF the paper in February.
A more extensive explanation of the
plan Is given below. Send in your
| votes at once.
AT the top of column appears print
ed ballots with u blank space In which
the name of the girl and boy you wish
to vote for may be written In ink or
pencil. Clip these ballots and mind
them or send them to The ADvER-
T1sER Office by mail. Any person may
vote as many of these ballots as be
chooses and persons living out of the
county may vote, but the girl and boy
voted for must be residents of the coun-
ty. The ballots can be saved and voted
altogether OF each week as it suits the
voter.
Each week the names OF the girls
and boys voted for and the number of
votes will be published. 1t will be q
good idea to begin your voting next
week.

fabricated Lightning.

In the spat between our Senators the
other day the hoary Hoar didn't for
get when he said a Senator couldn't
withdraw his resignation. In recon.
struction times q v%agabond carpet-bag
preacher represented the Darlington
District, our State, in the lower House
of Congress. For the appointment of
a boy outside his District to a West
Point cadetship he accepted a large
bribe. A resolution was introduced to
expelhim for the bribery. Just as the
vote was about to be taken and would
certainly pass, the fellow sent to the
Speakers desk his resignation, intend
ing to make s. speech. Blaine, who
was III the chair, and lightning, ac-
cepted the resignation instanter, didn't
hear the fellow, and told him he was
no longer q congressman.
This citing of q South Carolina case
reminds of Aesop's eagle. An archer
brought him down from the sky and
the eagle didn't mind death so much as
that in dying he recognized that a
feather from his own wing had guild
ed the mortal weapon to his breast.
Blaine was all right then, but Hoar
may be wrong now.

War of Words.

Sometimes words are things or
equally as significant. The wordy war
between Tillman and McLaurin In so
conspicuous q platform as the United
States Senate Chamber ten days ago
was ill-timed, ill-placed and unseemly.
Scowling and browbeatipg can't win.
The world laughs at grimacy. 1t was
unnecessary because McLaurin is on
the run and done for. Tillman was
right and McLaurin has no business in
the caucus or councils OF the Demo
cratic party. But Tillman was out OF
place in the contest, with his pitchfork.
He should have left the leader of the
Democratic minority to fight the ques
tiop-if McLaurin is a Democrat or not
and entitled toa seat on the Democratic
side. Democratic Senators can avail
little or nothing in this Congress, the
Republicans having a great majority
and making the legislation. And
again the Democrats of this State will
settle McLaurin's hash in clever shape
next Summer. The more he is kicked
now the more he will rebound.
