Concerning Christmas.

This being Christmas week editorials
are mostly out of order. The ADvER-
TIsER believes that most Of its friends
have had a happier Christmas than US
ual. The ADVERTISER hopes that all
of its host OF friends and subscribers
are in a lovely frame OF mind and
keyed up to the point of wishing
everybody well.

THE ADVERTISER.
LAURENs. s. c.. Dec. 81. 1909.
Something Done.

During the year now departing THE
ADVERTISER sent a couple Of young
school children to the Charleston Ex-
position.
1t furnished q free scholarship to q
young man to q first class business COL
lege.
1t instituted q series of prizes for
composition writing by school children
which has aroused great interest and is
helping the schools.
AT the time of the primary elections
1t provided the people with the tele-
graphic'news.
1t was a foremost worker in the n
successful effort to bring a college to
Laurens.
1t had a part In successfully launch
ing the movement for a new cotton
mill.
1t is the special pride Of THE AID
VERTISER that whenever a progressive
movement is commenced in Lsurens,
the assistance Of THE ADVERTISER is
usually asked.
The circulation OF THE ADVERTISER
has increased during the year about 20
per cent.
A first class job plant aud job bust
ness have been added to the paper.
While the expenses OF THE ADvER-
TIsER have been far heavier than for
many years, it's condition as a prop
erty is stronger and better than it has
been in the seventeen and o half years
of Its life.
What Is more pleasant than all else
is the knowledge that all the people Of
Laurehs have, as far IS we can judge,
kind feelings towards The ADVERTISER
Political asperities have been buried.
THE ADVERTISER aims to help the
people of Laurens and we believe the
appreciate it. In its political opinions
it Is an independent newspaper. In flu
ture as heretofore, it will express views
that will excite opposition but 1t is
hoped that our friends will bear in
mind that honest men must sometimes
differ and chat they can differ on pub
lie matters without losing self-respect
or respect and regard for each other.
Grateful for the support which the
paper has received in 1902, we shall COM
mence 1908 with the promise to give to
Laurens County ''just as good a news
paper ns the times will permit"

over me like great waves that his
name was Jesus, because 1t was he
that should save men from their sins.
Save! Save! The waves Kept beating
upon my ears, and before l knew /
had called out, ooh, can he save meT
1t was In q little mission meeting on
n of the side streets, and they seem
ed to be used to that sort Of thing
there, for no n was surprised, and a
young fellow leaned across the aisle
to me and said, why, you just bet he
canp His surprise that I should doubt,
his bright face and confident tone, gave
me hope that perhaps it might be SO. I
held to that hope with all my soul,
and" stretching up his arms and with
q quick glow in his face and q little
break in his voice, "he hasn't failed
me yet, not once, not oncer"
He stopped short, and I felt q good
deal like making n fool of myself, for
In those days / had not made up my
mind about these things. Graeme, poor
old chap, was gazing at him with q sad
yearning in his dark eyes; big Sandy
was sitting very stiff and staring hard
err than ever into the fire; Baptiste was

openly wiping the tears away. But the
face that held my eyes was that Of old
man Nelson. 1t was white, fierce, nun
cry looking, his sunken eyes burning,
his lips parted as If to cry.
The minister went on. 81 didn't mean
to tell you this, men. 1t all came over
me with a rush. But it is true, every
word, and not q word will 1 take back.
And, what's more, / a tell you this
what he did for me he can do for any
man, and it doesn't make n differ
ence what's behind him, and" leaning
slightly forward and with n little thrill
Of pathos vibrating in his voice, "oh,
boys, why don't you give him a chance
at you? Without him you'll never be
the men you want to be, and you'll
V get the better OF that that's keep
ing some Of you now from going back
home. You know you'll never go back
till you're the men you want to be-"
Then, lifting up his face and throwing
back his head, he said, as if> to himself,
~"Jesus-he shall save his people from
their SINS" and then, 'Let us pray"
Graeme leaned forward with his face

II is very doubtful whether a real
campaign against the mosquito will be
possible before local self-governmen:
is inaugurated. Tackling the mosquito
means the expenditure of money and
with the mass OF business that comes
before Legislature it will be difficult
to convince the members OF the ad-
visibility of appropriating for expert
ments. With local governments 1t
ought to be possible to arouse interest
in local work which, II 1t proves as
effective as that done in eastern cities
would eventually result in practical
application OF theories. The study
which professional men are now CIV
ing the subject will furnish the basis
for effective action.

The will OF Paul Leicester Ford filed
in New York shows that the author OF
The Hon. Peter Stirling made a very
comfortable living by his pen. The
estimated royalties on his books fur
nishes an interesting side-light on the
preference of the American public for
fiction. The comparatively small in
come from his most widely advertised
books is surprising. The total royal
ties are estimated at s15,775, divided
as follows. based on sales for the
twelve months preceding Fords death:

Honorable Peter Stirling" $1,000;

Tables In the Governors report for

In Hawaii for the year 1901 were 49,

No one can successfully dispute that
an average white American farmer
used TO handling horses or mules In
the field can take care Of and deliver
at the mill at least ten acres OF cane

worth at least Ave Asiatics working

RECEIVING
SPANISH
CIRCULARS

In several late steamers from the
Coast merchants in this city have been
receiving circulars from business
houses in the United States printed in
Spanish with quotations of prices IN
Spanish also. The last circular Of
note is from the St. Louis Worlds
Fair Commission which contains the
proclamation OF President Mckinley
regarding the fair, The proclamation
is in English but the notices on the
circular calling attention 20 the fair
are all in Spanish.
The matter Is to be brought to the
attention OF the Chamber OF Commerce
Aand Merchants Association In an eff
fort to let the misguided circulating
agents OF the big concerns OF the
States know that this is an English
speaking country like the rest OF the
United States. ~.
One OF the gentlemen who received a
Spanish circular said this morning n
the advertising OF Hawaii was ever
doubtful in my mind II is not now.
Where people getting up a Worlds
Fair don't know even the principal
languages OF one OF their own Terri
tories II is high time TO let the world
know about US as quickly and thor
onghly as possible

sion for sweeping changes is not ap

THOSE FEDERAL BUILDINGS.


In canvassing public opinion on the
question of a site for the Federal
building or buildings for the postofiice
and United States Court citizens of Ho.
nolulu should bear in mind that they
cannot afford to be too opinionated or
carry their differences TO a point where
contention over the site will delay the
action of Congress. At present the
Federal building problem is up to the
citizens of Honolulu and nothing
should be forced upon the discussion
that will tend toward a protracted
wrangle of cliques. The city is in the
position of the boy whose father when
advising him as to his future said.
Get money. Get it honestly-but get
money"
The preliminary talk at the meeting
held Monday afternoon brought out
almost as many opinions on the site
for buildings other than the custom
house as there were men. The after
math of the meeting associated the
opinions of individuals as Icing some
what influenced by their private prop
erty holdings. In any discussion OF
agitation of this character there is
bound to be more or less of this. Few
business men are above thinking OF
their own interests first. II is to be
hoped, however, that our people will
be able to get together on this subject
put aside personal interests as far as
possible, and center every effort on
speedily obtaining a building or build
ings which Will add to the beauty o:
the city besides giving proper accom-
mediation for Federal officers.
Fortunately public opinion is a unit
on the custom house site. The bone
OF contention will be first. whether the
post Office and Federal courts should
occupy separate buildings and finally
the location. On general principles
the Bulletin considers that the larger
the number of Federal buildings the
better There is certainly enough
available land near the city center to
provide sites for new postoffice and
separate structure for the Federal
courts and Revenue department. De.
mands of the postofiice, courts and
other Federal Offices for larger space
will always be increasing. 1t be-
hooves our citizens to plan for the fu-
ture on a broad scale. Congress can
be depended upon to carry on all the
reduction that is necessary.
Whether one building or dozen will
be asked for. the final location should
be made with a view to serving the
convenience of the community at large
Business houses have important claims
for serious consideration but these are
not more deserving than the demands
of householders from Waikiki to Pala,
ma and Punchbowl to the sea. The
tendencies of the city's expansion mus
be determined as definitely as possible
and a fair average struck that serve'
the public at large.
Honolulus greatest danger is thu
penchant of supporters of differen
projects to become so enthusiastic owe
their own ideas that they are unable Il
see any virtue in the opinions OF 9th
ers. Hawaii wants the United State
} Government to begin its building oper
: atoms in this Territory at the earlies
/ possible day. II our own people viii
get together the united enthu
3 siasm that can be aroused will

Not a few Mainland cities furnish
horrible examples of fights over thu

Territory.

MAUI IS SURPRISED
BY FOOTBALL GAME

All Maui was startled last Saturday
by the announcement that there was to
be a football game at Kilohana park
on Sunday. Maui is not used to foot
ball games and so the contest was
the topic OF every town and hamlet so
that when the time came, the scene OF
the conflict was crowded with specta-
tors. There were two teams, one call
ing themselves the Lahainas and the
others the Wailukus. The former was
made up for the most part OF Homo
lulu young men who,'a with viii
Prestiges minstrel company now doing
the island The Lahainas were whip
ped to the tune Of 10 to 0. The boys
state that on account OF the condition
OF the weather, 1t was impossible to
kick goals and SO none were attempt
ed. Crook, the champion runner OF
Maui, made one OF the touchdowns
while the second, the Lahaina men
claim, was made by fiuke, the ball
being only six inches from the line
and being pushed over little at a
time with nobdy in particular In pos
session OF the pigskin. With the ex'
ception of the right guard and left
tackle OF the Wailukus, whose names
could not be secured. the lineup was
as follows:
