Contemplated.

Palmetto Lodge, No. 10, elected Off
GERS Friday night as follows: N. B.
Dial, worshipful master; Robert w.
Davis: senior warden; w. @. Irby, Jr.,
junior warden; o. B! Simmons, treasu-
rer, and III. w. Anderson, secretary.
All of these are reflections except
that Of Mr.. Dial who had in former
years held the senior warden's chair.
Mr.. Dial succeeds Mr.. @. III. Roper,
who after serving two years, declined
reelection. Mr.. Roper has given emil
nent satisfaction in his administration
of his high Office and under his wise di-
rection the lodge has continued in it's
career of prosperity. Palmetto is one
of the very strongest, If not the strong
est, of masonic lodges in the South
Carolina jurisdiction.
Mr.. Anderson, the youngest man in
the lodge, has held the Office of secre-
retary longer than anybody can re-
member. He is always present and
always prompt and few masons
have so many years of faithful service
behind him. But he is young man
just the same and the friend and COM
panion of young man.
The officers will be installed on the
9th and the lodge will enjoy supper
as usual,

Get the Best for Your Money.

Did your grocer ever tell you when
you ordered "Clifton" -four that he
had something just as goo6?" Do
you know why he tells you this? 1t is
because he buys some inferior -four for
less none and Is trying to word this
off on you and get few cents more
profit on it. This is a perfectly legiti-
mate thing for the grocer to do, but
you ought to see that you get the best
value for your money. And TO do this
insist upon his sending you Clifton"

does not keep it, he or you can get it OF

AN ADVERTISEMENT.

This is to advertise the fact that THE
ADVERTISER will be glad to have all its
subscribers who owe anything for SUBJ
scriptions to call in and pay up.
They can pay at this season if they
ever can pay. Most OF the subscribers
OF The ADVERTISER are people who do
pay.
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, it is
dlfhcuit to print paper at 81. year,.
it requires the hardest kind of saving
therefore it is hoped that ADVERTISER
subscribers will not need another re-
quest and will make 1t q point to settle
now without waiting for bills.

THE CARNIVAL
in PROGRESS.
Dozen Clever Shows ON
the square.
ALL GOOD ONES.
The Voting for the Queen
Continues.
Tie weather has Been UnprOpitious
but with Clear Skies Great Crowd
Is Expected.

With q cold, miserable, mean driz
zling rain falling, the first two days Of
the Carnival have been gloomy. The
crowds have not come. They could not
come in such weather. But last night
the skies were clear.
The Layton Carnival Company ar.
rived Sunday. Monday morning they
pitched the tents on the public square
and in few hours 1t was tented
field.
The shows are first rate.
The weather has been too bad for
| the free shows, and the attendance on
the pay shows has 80 far been small.
But the people who come to Laurens
for the Carnival will not be disap-
pointed. When the sun peeps out
there will be life in the old town. The
rubber bale, the confetti and the tin
horns are here in plenty and every
body will be having good time.
The people in the country ehould
bring their wives and children. Give
them chance for few days of real
enjoyment, real pleasure. The Carni
val is great thing for the youngsters.
Here are the shows on the public
spare:
The Eruption Of Mount Peelee. This
is fine spectacle and instructive.
Statue Turning into Life.
The Girl From Up There. A won-
derful illusion.
Pearl, the big girl. She is only
eleven and she weighs bale of cotton.
Gay Paris. This is clever vaudeville.
The Ferris Wheel.
The Merry Go Round. A good one
too.
The Dog Circus. Children will be
delighted with this.
The Children's Circus.
The Old Plantation. This is g Ne
gro Minstrel show. -.
There are several other shows and
attractions. Among them "Margue-
rite" deserves visit.
The voting for the Queen is going on
at lively rate. How 1t stands will be
seen in the advertisement elsewhere.
The east end OF the town is voting
hard for Miss. jamie Boulware; Miss
Pauline Anderson, Miss Alma Shell
and Miss Bessie Brown are receiving
the largest number from the town this
side Of Brooklyn and Miss Addie Hor.
ton is getting big vote in Clinton.
The Clinton folks are keeping quiet
but Laurens may look out for them at
the final count.
The queen will be crowned Thursday
evening with due form and ceremony
and addresses by distinguished speak
ers,
A dance will be had during the week,
This, however, is not under the aus,
pices OF the Knights OF Pythias.
All should remember that the char
liable objects OF the Knights of Py-
thias are helped when they spend their
money at the carnival.

Purpose to Enforce Pay

Destruction of Venezuelan Fleet-FOr-
tress at Puerto CabellO Bonn.
barded Last Saturday.

England and Germany are virtually
at war with the Republic of Venezuela
In South America. Last week ships of
the two nations destroyed the little
Venezuelan fleet. This they did with.
out fighting. The ships of the Venezu-
clans amounted to nothing.
The trouble arises from the failure
of Venezuela to pay debts to the two
European nations. The Venezuelaps
have been fighting among themselves
and have refused to give their foreign
creditors any satisfaction. Italy is ex-
pected to join in enforcing demand for
payment of claims. Saturday a Ger
man and an English cruiser bombarded
and captured the fortress OF Puerto Ca
bello.
President Castro, of Venezuela,
would like for the United States to
take hand, but Uncle Sam Is "lying
low" so far. The Monroe doctrine
does not appear to be involved as yet.

A Sand Tree of Prussia.

We are accustomed to regard sand as
utterly barren, but the plants native to
the coast sands Of Prussia have been
enumerated by naturalists. whose esti-
mates vary from III to 234 varieties.
OF these one Of the most available is
the Arundo arenaria (marram), which,
thrives only in sand and in the salt air
of the beach. This in time serves to
prepare the soil for larger plants.

CAPACITY OF CHURCH PEWS.

Complaint OF Damage to Garments and
High Hats from Overcrowding.
Il regret that in most churches there
is an evident disposition to stand still
in the matter of seating the congrega-
tion," said a churchgoer. THE church
usher of today may be able to seat
more people than years ago, but be mas
no regard for the comfort Of the stran-
ger within the gates. Maybe he is not
altogether to blame. Maybe it is the
fault, in part, of the church governors
or vestry.
Il am frequently squeezed into a
pew built for five people, but which
by crowding is packed with seven. At
this season Of the year men apd
women wear wraps to church whith

enter the pew. There is no arrangt-
ment for their wraps.

on their removed garments or hold
them on their laps. Men who wear silk

under the seat. ---
III the service is one which requires
frequent kneeling and rising. the hat,
after church, looks as if it belonged to
a Broadway cabby. l have had two
crushed and dented within the last
month.
Il am free to confess that do not
know what remedy to suggest. That
matter. think, is up to the deacons,
elders or vestrymen.
Il see that DR.. Rainsford of st.
Georges is quoted as complaining
that there is falling of in church at
tendance. May it not be in part due
to the lack of comfort in seating peo-
pie,
The theatrical managers Of the
country have done better in this re-
spect than the churches. Because sal
walton is free is no reason why a man
or woman should be expected to
wrinkle wraps by making cushions of
them, or why man should have his
hat kicked in by the man in the pew
behind.
Il should like also to say something
about the woman who wears tho
biggest hat in her collection to church.
But that will come later. We should
be grateful for the service which re-
