Few subjects Of more Importance have been

HOT FROM THE FRONT.

Newsgatheripg. not fighting, is the

it Is news at any personal cost, and q
tine unpremeditated heroism often goes
with the gathering Of it.
One morning after the siege of Paris,
when the city was believed, I'm London
TO be still in the hands of the COM
mune, Sir John Robinson, manager of
the Daily News of London, reached
his office to find the late Archibald
Forbes lying on the floor asleep, his
head on postof1ce directory, while
the printers were hard Mt work on his
manuscript, the story Of 'Paris In
Flames" a most vivid description of
the last days Of the commune.
Forbes had telegraphed from Dover
announcing his coming" said Sir John
Robinson, "the printers had been wafe
ing, and thus the country heard OF
those terrible days for the first time.
London was ablaze with excite
fhent. Bouverie street was impossible
through the newsboys shrieking for
copies, and in parliament Mr.. Glad
stone was questioned that afternoon
and could only say he hoped the story
was exaggerated.
when Forbes wafsened from his
efumber amid all this turmoil, what n
spectacle he was! His face was black
with powder, his eyes red and IN
famed, his clothes matted with clay
and dust; he was dreadful picture.
He had been Compelled TO assist the
communists in defending triangular
space upon which three fetachments
of the Versailles troops were firing,
and had actually taught the citizens
how to build barricade."
BY aid of dummy dispatches ad-
dressed to Lord Granville md the
queen, Forbes escaped from this
threatening triangle and wrote all the
way to England, being the solitary
passenger On the mailboat. --Youth's

HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY.
Prof. DinsmOre Should be Invited to
LHurens.


Prof. J.A. Gamewell, of Wofford Col
lege, for several years past has been
giving his spare time to Lyceum work,
not only in spartanburg, but all over
the Piedmont belt. This work Prof.
Gamewell receives no remuneration for
whatever. His sole reward is to see
the public educated from the trashy
shows up to something refined, instruc-
tive aud yet entertaining.
Prof. Thos. III. Dinsmore is to be in the
state early in January and Prof. Came
well is eager for him to come to Lau-
rens. spartanburg people had the same
lecture last year for which they paid
him $125.00. Laurens can get Mr..
Dinsmore on this trip for $4,000.
Laurens should not let such dis
tinguished lecturer pass without an at
tempt to get him here. Prof. Dinsmore
is highly recommended by such men as
Prof. Dupre of Wofford and the, late
Capt John FL. Montgomery. The latter
says in letter: 81 remember no lee
ture containing more of pleasure, en-
tertainment and instruction.
THE ADVERTISER hopes that the
people of Laurens will leave nothing un-
done to bring this really fine lecturer
here.
