QUIET AS SUNDAY.
Election Scarcely Created a Ripple of
Interest Here,

Yest.. lay was election day all over
the United States. 1t created no inter-
est here. The Republicans had no
State or county ticket. For State and
county officers at this box 216 votes
cast; all Democrats. OF 208 votes for
Congress Lumus Blalock received 10
and Joe Johnson 1913.
On the amendment to the State con-
stitution concerning townships the vote
was practically unanimous in the af-
firmative few persons refraining from
voting at all.
At the Laurens Cotton Mills box
about 80 votes votes were cast, all Dem
ocratio. Blalock did not get vote at
that box.
There is not much interest in the
election nationally except in New York
where Coler, Democrat, has showing
to beat Odell, Republican, for COVER

Well Known Here.

Capt. John H. Montgomery OF Spar
tanburg, president of the Pacolet Mills
Spartan Mills and of the Mills al
Gainesville, Ga, suffered an accident
while in Gainesville Friday which re-
rulted in his death few hours later
He was standing on sill about 16 feet
from the ground watching work on a
new building when he lost his balance
and fell to the cement floor beneath
His skull was crushed. It is believed
that the fall was due to an attack of
vertigo or something similar. He was
90 years old.
Capt. Montgomery was perhaps bet
ter known than any other business man
in South Carolina and was regarded
the most successful cotton spinner in
the South. Indeed some of the lead
ing dry goods authorities have ranked
him at the head of the cotton spinners
OF the whole country In ability. He
was member of an old prominent
Spartanburg family He was a man
who did his full duty in everything and
always with thoroughness. He was an
earnest, liberal and working Christian.
deacon in the Baptist Church. In the
War he served four years faithfully for
the South, chiefly in the commissary
department., whore his uncommon bus
mess talent made him very valuable to
the army. His cotton career began in
1883 ard his mills have all been re-
markably successful.
He was we'll known in this county
and city. President Lucas OF the Lau.
rens Mills attended his funeral Sunday.
He entered the Confederate Army in
Co. E., 18th s. O., and served for
awhile under Captain M. II. Ferguson.
The latter was here yesterday and
spoke in the highest terms OF the de-
ceased gentleman's soldierly qualities.
The death of such man who had
done so much for other men and had
wrought so ably for his state and coun-
try and church is profound public
misfortune.

nothing like a definite organization

which, however, received it's initial
production at the Strand Theatre, Lon
don, will be the attraction at the City
Opera House next Tuesday, Nov. IL.
The playrefeTed to is Wilfred Clarke's s
brilliant comedy, ga Wise Woman"
and its presentation in this country has
so far proven duplicate of it's success
in the British metropolis, nearly $50
nights to capacity business, and this
fact alone would seem to be an unan-
swerable argument of success. Miss
Lamour, the charming comedienne,
who is being featured in the title role
of GA Wise Woman" was recruited
from the brilliant corps of players at
Daly's New York theatre, and the
faith that was placed in her ability to
make success in stellar capacity
has so far been more than justified by
the results. The best evidence of this
is that, not only do the critics praise
her, but tremendously large audiences
have greeted her almost every night OF
the season.

ever can pay. Most of the subscribers
OF The ADVERTISER are people who do

OF course bills will be sent out as
usual. But 1t costs about three cents
TO send out one bil!--not counting the
labor. Three per cent on one dollar is
good deal of money.
AS THE ADVERTISER has said, II is
difhcult to print paper at 81. year.

Therefore it is hoped that ADVERTISER

quest and will make it a point to settle
