Not at all strange.


This paragraph is taken from the
Spartanburg Herald:
1.-THE Advertiser believes now, as it
has steadily believed since his first
election, that Grover Cleveland is the
strongest leader in the Democratic
party and the worthiest of support."- -
Laurens Advertiser. How can such
things be! This sentiment expressed
in Laurens county! Has not u No
BILE Leader spoken that the suggestion
is treasonP What will Lisbon Alliance
say to this?
For about ID years, under the pres
emit ownership, The ADVERTISER has
expressed the views that the Herald
refers to. AT no time have there not
been plenty of people to stand by The
ADVERTISER. In all this period, THE
ADVERTISER has boon opposed in poll
tics to the majority of people in Lau-
ems. In Lisbon Alliance, that the
Herald sneers at, THE ADVERTISER has
always had friends, opposed to its poll
tics, but with confidence in it's integ-
rity of motive and willing, yes glad, to
support a paper that they regarded as
honest w though they thought it
wrong. In other words, the people OF
Laurens are not narrow minded or
stupid; they are ready to hear and read
both sides. THE ADVERTISER today
has more readers and friends among
those who do not agree with It's politi-
cal views than among those who donor
is this strange. No intelligent person
is content with only n side Of an ar
gument.

Is it strange that lot 80 by 80
containing 800 square feet, sells
without agents when compared with
one 100 by 40, containing only 1000

much?
Our streets are 40 it. and alleys lie

only 10 it., useless for teams to pass

The Commoner, Mr. Bryan's
paper, will be especially interesting
and instructive during the present
session of congress. The action OF
this congress will probably deter
mine the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign viii be fought
The Commoner proposes to carry on
campaign of education and organi-
cation to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial de-
Dartment, which receives Mr.. Bry-
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains Current Topic de
partment, wherein a non-partisan
discussion of topics of timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced
woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
in all that the term implies This
department alone is worth the sub
seription price. The other depart
ments of the paper are all interest
ing and ably conducted, among
which is summary of the world s
news told in narrative style, and
Mr. Maupin's department-W heth
err Common or Net-contains origin
al anecdotes and wit, moral lessons 10
home.y phrase and verse, and APP
peals to old and young alike
The Commoner as a whols is clean
entertaining and instructive. and its
rapid increase in circulation-now
amounting to 140,000--is proof Of
the papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Bryan whereby The Com
moner can be supplied at very low
rate with THE New DOMINION, both
papers for one year for $500 This
offer applies to botn new and renew

Many people believe that the Au-
gusta county people ought to have
their new county If the facts in the
case are not in conflict with the CON
stitution. We believe that the facts
are opposed to the organize law OF
the state. 1t should be an easy
manner to establish the facts clear
w. However, there may be some
kicking over the proposed boundry
lines even if the new county be
formed. Lets get together and do
whatever is done in the proper man
ner. There should be no bitterness
engendered no matter how the de-
clsion may 60 Our brethren in the

are prevented from getting what
they want by the constitution and
we should not object if. they get
what they dee n their rights under

AMERICAN INVESTMENTS.
Large sums Placed in Mexico for the Development of Immense
 Resources.

When United States Consul General Barlow reported to the Washington gov ernment that $500 eco GOO of American | money was invested here, states the Mex ican Herald, local critics raised the ob- jection that in reality this was in great part British capital, and that the Americans were only figureheadsi in en- terprises really owned across the At lantic"
 If this were so. why Go we find the London Statist. in it's last issue to hand, saving that the measures for stabilizing the peso here do not much concern us?" And the London paper continues: Our government naturally will cooper ate with the United States government as far as it possibly can do this as in other matters; but it's interest in the question excepting SO far as we all desire to aid the United States where we can is but small The proposed change in China is different That is a matter in which British interests are largely con- cerned-quite as much concerned, eyi dently, as American interests"
 The Statist is a well-informed journal on British investments abroad, and sure ly it would know if American invest ments here were but another name for large placements of British capital To Mexico it matters little whence comes the money required for the development of her immense resources. although it is to be said that the active participa- ton of Americans in business undertak- ings here tends to keep the two coun- tries in close and friendly relations.
 Within a few weeks heavy invest ments of American capital have been made in Mexican mines. investments of really great sums of money and though in one deal London is supposed to have an interest the greater part of the funds employed have been raised in New York and other American cities.
