Farmers Institute.
To the Farmers of Laurens County

At my requ, st Mr.. w. j. Sp:llmap,
probably assisted by Prof. Newman, of
Clemso on College, will ho'd a Farmers
Institute in your courthouse on April 3,
at III o'clock a. m. Mr.. Spiilman has
charge OF forage crops at the United
States Department of Agriculture. He
has made the study of forage crops his
life .work, and has travelled from the At
lantic to the Pacific investigating ali
sorts of forage and all kinds of soils.
He wishes 20 meet the farmers of Lau-
rens County and investigate conditions
with the view to helping the farmers in
the matter of both summer and winter
forage crops. He will deliver a lecture
on this subject on that occasion, and dis
tribute amongst The farmers interesting
literature, and will be provided with all
Kinds OF forage crops seed for distribu-
ton.
l believe this meeting will be of great
benefit to section. AS Mr.. Spillman's
services are in great demand, and it is
difficult 10 secure him, let me respect
fully urge that the farmers generally
attend the meeting. Surely if Mr.. Spill
man can travel SEQ miles in order to
talk to the formers and distribute litera-
ture and forage crop seed amongst them,
they a afford to go TO the courthouse
to meet him.
Very RESPECTFULLY,
Jos. II. JOHNSON.

McLaurin's Surrender.

The displacement of Assistant United
States District Attorney b. A. Hsgood
to make room for q near kinsmau,
former partner and private secretary
OF Senator McLaurin, i~s'7properly con-
strued TO mean that Mr.. McLautin has
abandoned hope Of reelection and is
thriftily using the dregs Of his power
to provide for his immediate depend
epts. For Mr.. McLaurin could have
cause" than to have inspired the vir-
tual removal Of Mr.. Hagood. Mr.. Ha-
good has always been a Republican
but has never been a partisan and has
never mingled In the least with the
offensive class of South Carolina Re-
publicans. He is a man Of hrst-rate
ability and OF the highest character,
and this is said ~ n not as q Repub-
Ilcap but as measured by the best rep
resent, lives in the Democratic or any
other party. Besides, no young man
in the State has more personal friends,
and these are largely among the up
country manufacturers--the supposed
OASIS OF McLaurln's strength. Num-
bers of influential men predisposed to
wards McLaurin will emphatically re-
sent this treatment of an exceptionally
capable official.
AS for c. p. Townsend, the new APP
pointee. he has had practical expe-
.srience heretofore as Republican, Dem
ocrat, Alliance advocate, Tillmanite,
Free Silverite, and in all other parties
and former factions, except the Con-
~servative, and only the barrenness of
the latter in the matter Of offices pro-
tected 1T against his entrance.
In displacing Mr.. Hagood, Mr.. Nc
Laurin has rebuked the ablest, most
promising and most respectable Of
South Carolina Republicans.

Every Miller Had the Opportunity.

Nearly all mills made pure flour be-
fore the Standardization League was
organized. The league was organized
when the adulteration of flour first
began, and was designed to stop it in it's
incipiency. Every four-mil'er in the
United States was Invited to join the
League, but the fact that he had to make
oath that he never had and never would
adulterate his flour, and in addition
had to put up q forfeit of 81, 900 to
strengthen his oath, caused q large
number to hesitate, and finally to de-
cline. Bransford Mills, manufacturer
of the "Clifton," was among the first
to join, because it never had and never
expected to adulterate its flour. Is not
such q stand worth considering when
you buy flour with which to feed your
children, especially when q poisonous
mineral is being used to adulterate it?
We think so. Then order "Clifton'
of your grocer. Our "White Fawn''
ihalf patent) and Snowflake or Spotless
(straight) are sold under the same
guarantee. T. N. Barksdale aud M. II

Excellent Work.

During the illness OF the late editor,
Col. Ball, THE ADVERTISER has been
edited by Albert G. Todd, Esq ,amem-
Der of the Laurens bar. Mr.. Todd did
his work with ability in fact, he made
1t very clear that he has fine newspaper
talent. Few men in South Carolina,
in or out of the profession, could have
done as well, and the friends of the
late editor, and the proprietor of the
paper, are grateful to him. Hereafter
w. w. Ball. the proprietor, will be in
charge of it's departments.

colored people, too, he treated with
uniform courtesy and kindness, and
they appreciated 1t. Few men have
had more genuine friends among the
negroes.
Always an active man, sometimes
hasty IN speech, he aroused autago-
nisms, but long before he died all these
had ceased and he passed away deeply
and personally loved as few men have
been by those he lived end moved
among.

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-02-14

It is plain to be seen why the Dem
Ocrats want Tom Humes nominated
and so plain that the Republicans
that cannot see it should deny having
any knowledge whatever of munich
pal politics The Democrats know
that Humes is an easy mark for them
to defeat at the polls. They know
that all the way from 1900 to $500
Republican voters will cast their bal
lots against Tom Humes at the polls
the 4th Of next March. Some of
them may not vote for Goodwin, but
they will not vote for Humes, in
in which case it will be a half a vote
for Goodwin. If Humes is nominated
the very next day the Times will come
out and charge Humes with corruption,
vice and extravaganza in a manner
never before laid at the doors of
a political office holder. Humes will
be charged with having caused the
death of William Meredith, he will
be charged with running the town as
a resort and asylum for the cut
throats, thugs, murderers and thieves
and he will be charged with a hundred
and one other crimes and sins against
nature that are too Objectionable to De
even put in print Under such an
arraignment the Democrats and the
better thinking Republicans as well,
know that Mr.. Humes will go down in
wretched defeat at the polls March 4th.
Now the question arises do the Repub-
licans wish to put their party's best
interests at stake by placing such a
man as Tom Humes as it's standard
bearer?
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-02-14
pOhITICHA POT PIE.

to make the following prediction: If
Humes is nominated by the Repub-
licans and Goodwin by the Democrats,
Goodwin will be elected by thousand
majority. If, on the other hand, Paul
is nominated by the Republicans and
Goodwin is nominated by the Dem
ocrats, Paul will be elected by 1000
majority. If Humes is nominated by
the Republicans and S. S. Bailey by
the Democrats, Humes will be elected
by 5000 majority The why that
Humes would be elected by such an
overwhelming majority over Steve
Bailey if he was nominated by the
Democrats would be of two evils the
people would think they were taking
the lesser in Tom Humes. (Of course
they would be mistakenly The reason
why that Paul would be elected over
Goodwin if they were opposing can
dldates lies in the fact that Goodwin
would at once announce himself as an
advocate of the wide-open policy and
the decent people have had all of
that they want and they would sup
port Paul, believing that they would
be getting better man, and it should
not be forgotten that Seattle is a Re
publican town under ordinary circum-
stances anyway. The reason why that
Goodwin would defeat Humes if he is
nominated lies in the fact that Humes
has disgraCed Seattle FOR the past five
years and the citizens of this city
are good and tired of it and will rise
in their might and turn him down if
they can at the primaries, and fail
ing to turn him down there they will
turn him down at the polls 1t may
be very hard to vote for a Democrat
when one can vote for a Republican,
but when Republican is of the Tom
Humes stripe, then to vote for a Dem
ocrat, even of the Jeff Davis stripe, is
comparatively easy. The wide-open
policy represented by Tom Humes will
be turned down either at the coming
Republican primaries or at the coming
election and Mr. Humes had just as
we'll understand this now as after it
is all over

In commemoration of the great
Emancipator the citizens of this coun-
try paid homage to his birthday last
Wednesday. In the state of Wash
ington the birthday of Lincoln is a
legal holiday and the same is true of
many of the other states in this Un-
ion, who honor and revere the mem
ory of the United States greatest and
most noted son. Throughout the South
the memory of Lincoln is only kept
green by the colored folk of that Sec
ton and few of the Grand Army vet
Grams, who have strayed South in their
endeavor to better their financial con-
ditions. That they are awkwardly sit
uated and surrounded goes without
saying, but, despite their peculiar sur
roundings, they never fail to pay their
annual tribute of respect to the birth
day of the hero of the great Civil War,
Abraham Lincoln. 1t is quite note
worthy that the birthdays of the two
greatest men ever produced in the
United States come in the same
month of the year and only ten days
apart. The 22d of February the coun-
try will celebrate Washington's birth
day and thereby will the birthdays of
the two greatest men of our country
be celebrated in the same month.

During the entire time that Frank
H. Paul has been before the public
in either an official or private capacity
he has proved himself to be faithful
to every trust and confidence imposed
in him and has been the same first,
last and all the time AS a private
citizen and as a public official he
has left a clean record behind him,
and no man, whether he be friend or
foe. can point the finger of scOrn or
opprobrium at him for any miSdeed
that he ever committed one way Or the
other. If it is a man with a clean.
straightforward busines record that
the public wants, they have him in
Frank H. Paul, and the Pie-maker be-
lieves that the voters, or that part of
them who look and act for the general
good of the city, will support his
candidacy and elect delegates next
Wednesday afternoon to the conven-
ton who will nominate him by an
overwhelming majority, and if he is
nominated there is not the slightest
doubt but that he will be elected by a
very large majority.
