WHEREAS information has been
received at this Department that an
Atrocious Murder was committed in
the County Of Laurens on or about the
........... day of August, 1902, upon the
body Of Frank Beeks by Will Sulll-
van and that the said Will Sullivan has
He'd from justice.
NOW, THEREFORE,, l M. b. Nc
Sweeney, Governor of the State of
South Carolina, in order that Justice
may be done and the majesty of the
law indicated, do hereby offer q re-
ward of Fifty ($5O.00) Dollars for the
apprehension, delivery and conviction
of the said Will Sullivan to the Sheriff
OF Laurens, at Laurens, S. G..
In Testimony Whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the Great
Do Seal Of the State to be affixed,

Farms Improving.

Having said hat farming is the best
ADVERTISER would now point out that
it Is becoming q better business each
year.
A few years back, the farmer ten
miles in the country was in a lonesome
place. Thirty years ago it was a long
distance from all Laurens farms to a
railway station.
Now many thrifty farmers have tele-
phones. The mails T. delivered at
least once each day by the free mail de-
livery system. Laurens county is ira
versed in all direction by railways.
Windmills and other devices enable
many farmers to have waterworks and
bathrooms. Thus the farmers of this
day is in possession of most of the con-
veninces that the town man has. Life
on the farm is rapidly loosing all those
characteristics which in the past have
tended to make young people tire of it.
After all, there is little or nothing that
IL farmer dwelling five or ten miles
HUH UtllS UOWu ullllOU huNS UiiuU lllS
town man has.
In q few years conditions promise to
be even better. Trolley lines will con-
meet all parts of the county. 1t will
cost not more han q nickel or dime to
ride from Alma or Youngs Store to the
Court House. The country is being
more densely settled every year and
the trolley cars will come as soon as
the population justifies it.
We advise every landowner, espe-
cially the small land owner, to hold on
to his land. We believe hat in a short
time comparatively, 10 or 20 years,
every acre will double or treble in value.
Some day the tide of immigration will
set in, syndicates will endeavor to buy
up the land and the danger is that
many of the natives will sell out.
The child that inherits a good tract
OF land in Laurens will be lucky. Some
200 acre farms in Laurens will sell for
$4,000 in the not very distant future.
A fortune can be made now on a 200
acre farm in Laurens by q thoroughly
Industrious and thoroughly educated
farmer; but it will be some years before
our farmers are educated to that point.
