THESE ARE OLDEST.
The Result Of Inquiry into
Long Life Records.
Miss Grant the Oldest White Person In
the County-Mr. Curry the Oldest
M%an-SOme Other Examples.

The Oldest white people In the
county arc
Miss Nancy Grant of Gross Hill, aged,
90, is the Oldest m
J. Franklin Curry, Dials Township,
born March IL, 1912, past 30 years old,
Is the oldest man.
OF those who have lived longest in
the same house, 1t seems the record Of
Miss Nancy South OF Mt. Gallagher,
surpasses all the others. She has
been living on the same floor Of the
same house since she was born in 1913.
THE ADVERTISER will therefore be
sent for one year to each OF these
without cost to them.
1t has been difficult to arrive at a
satisfactory decision. MIR Curry, for
example, has been living on the same
plantation all his life. That is longer
on one place than Miss South has lived
has lived all the time in the same
house. However, Mr.. Curry is un-
doubtedly the Oldest man reported.
Mics Nancy Grant though Is much
older than he, she having reached the
great nge OF 90. Next In age to her is
Mrs. Samuel Bryson of Gross Hill who
is 90. She has lived in the same house
since 1889. Although she is not the
oldest woman or has lived SO long at
enc place as MISS South, 1T has been
decided to send The ADVERTISER to
her for one year also, as hers is a very
remarkable case. THE ADVERTISER
will also be sent for one year to Mrs.
Mcknight of Tumbling Shoals who
was BON in 1914 aud has lived IS years
in one room.
The discussion has awakened consid-
cradle interest in the county ana facts
of value have been brought out. One
curious thing seems evident and that
is that the women live longer than the
men. Two women are reported older
than the Oldest man. Among the 1S
OLD people reported from Sullivans
| township, 10 are II anyone
can suggest the explanation of this
| THE ADVERTISER would be glad to
have it. Meanwhile, THE ADVERTI-
| SER wishes to all of the old people
many more years Of health and happi-
ness.
1t is hoped that some friend in each
OF the other townships will send in
lists Of the old people, like that OF
| Sullivans published last week. Who
are the Oldest people in Jacks? Aud
Hunters? And Scuiletown? And
Youngs?

Tribute to Mrs. Alice Crane.

Mrs. Alice Crane, wife of ]. Harley
Crane, aged 81 years, died ut the home
of her father, w. G. Balcntinc in Lau-
ems county May 20, 1902.
For more than u year her health had
been declining, and the last three
months of her life she suffered more
than tongue a tell, but she glorifed
God by suffering, for she boro it with
Christian fortitudo and patience.
Though she was tenderly watched over
and lovingly ministered to in the home,
ter home, where angels will minister
instead of the loved onos so sad now in
the earth home.
She united with Poplar Spring Bap-
list church early in life and liveda con-
sistent member, until she was trans
fered to the church triumphant She
was a devout christian though not dem
o~nstrative. She was cheerful in dispo-
sitiOn, and always manifested an open
and unselfiSh spirit, consequently she
had many friends. She was q devoted
wife, and affectionate and loving moth
er, Il kind and thoughtful neighbor,
and in her death the community loses a
truly good woman. She leaves a hus-
band, two little girls, parents, brothers,
sisters and II large circle of friends to
mourn for her. But why weep? She
gladly closed her eyes on earth to open
them in Heaven.
"Her tolls are past, her work is done
And she is fully blest;
She's fought the fight the victory won,
And entered into rest. )
"Then let our sorrows cease to flow,
God has recalled his own,
And let our hearts in every woe
Still say, 'Thy will be DONE"
"May the grace of our heavenly
Father, who doeth all things well sus-
tain, and comfort the grief stricken
hearts in the homes of those who loyOd
her so dearly"

Shall tho Town Stop?

A quarter of a century ago the
larger towns of upper South Carolina
were cotton markets and cotton mark
cts only. They bought the farmers
cotton and sold the farmers supplies.
These towns were few, perhaps one to
a county. Now dozens OF towns, each a
cotton market, have sprung up and the
business has undergone long division.
Had Laurens, Greenville u Spartan
burg been content to remain mere cot
ton markets, they would have remained
small villages. But they iscerned
the necessity 10 build factories and
built them. Hence, in spite OF the
growth of towns like Fountain Inn,
Cross Hill, Psco,et, Pelzer and a
hundred others, these county towns
have grown rapidly. They have pros
pered because they have turned to
manufacturing. Now the question is,
Shall this town stop? Or shall this
town build something that will employ
people who will buy goods and rent or
buy houses, thus giving town property
some value?
Occasionally one finds q Laurens man
oil moderate means who reasons thus {:
81 have a small mercantile business
which yields me q comfortable living;
l have a good home in which is in
vested $4,000; L can always make a
living for my family OF four or five and
[ will not embarrass myself by borrow
ing $500 to put in any stock company"
But II the town stagnates and that
man dies, that SO 900 homo, which en-
bodies the savings Of his life, will sell
at $1,000 or 81, 200 and his family will
lose two-thirds of what no has done for
them. On the other hahd, in a grow
ing town, o home in which $4,000 is in
vested ought to BE- constantly and
greatly increasing in value. Ii this
town grows as 1t should, a Main street
lot now worth ten dollars a front foot
should be worth in ten years ut least
$50 q front foot Values Of property
in Greenville in the last Is years have
multiplied by five or six. Moreover, a
town hat isn't growing is dying; very
slowly, but dying.
We have no ice factory. Spartan
burg has two. Every growing town
has an ice factory. 1t is too late to
build one for the present summer but
we should have it for next. 1t would
give employment to q dozsn or two
men and it would pay. Hundreds of
ice factories are paying in the South,
many in smaller towns than this, and
an ice factory would pay here. More
over, it would save to Laurens business
men a tribute that they are paying to
Newberry, Spartanburg or some other
town that has ice to sell.

The Great Seed Game.

The congressman who boasts about
sending seed to his constituents forgets
to mention that these seed are paid
for by the Taxpayers. Sometimes a
congressman who has a farming con-
stituency bcgs some city congressman
out of his share and so Is able to dis
tribute an c.Stra amount-but the peo-
pie pay for the seed just the same.
The object of SEED distribution Is to
assist the agricultural department. in
making experiments but this object
has long since been almost forgotten.
Seed distribution is now a grab game
which enables a congressman to fool
his constituents cheap. For example
n congressman brags hat he senJ
$4,000 worth OF free seed to his constlt-
uents in a year. Unless every cOnstit-
uent received ten cents worth, some
constituents were neglected or depriy-
ed of their shares. In that district are
some q 1000 voters. Consequently the
congressman gave to each man the
equivalent Of two cigars or two glasses
of soda water or two pints of COOLERS
vi Wi "ouo VI ShShluS BoIl vi @ Isu6
OF mean tobacco. Meanwhile, the
money cam out Of the pockets of the
Taxpayers, not the salary OF the con-
gresham. Meanwhile that congress-
man and his private secretary must
have spent a total OF several weeks
seeking the post Office addresses of peo-
pie who controlled a vote or two in the
district as proper persons 10 receive
seed, time which better men would
have given to more important matters.
The truth Is that the seed business is
an undemocratic fraud upon and q nui-
sance to the people. We scarcely
think that any v9ter is silly enough to
vote for a man because he received a
few free seed. Nor do we think that
those who received no seed should be
silly enough to be influenced by it. or
course as long as seed are distributed,
1t is well enough for the congressman
to see that q share is sent to his dis
trict but a man small enough to expect
to buy a seat in congress or the senate
in this way is small enough 10 be kept
out of congress till he '~learns some
sense"
x*&
Candidates complain that the crowds
are small at the meetings. They have
our sympathy but we really cannot
blame tho people. When a free show
won't draw-perhaps something is
wrong with the show.
***
Among the ~"insults hurled at the
intelligence of voters" is tie suggcs-
tion that Congressman Talbert should
not canvass the state OF South Carolina
for the governorship while congress is
In session. The same applies to Lati-
mer and Elliott.
