Raise The Salary.

Some time ago THE ADVERTISER eX-
pressed the opinion that the salary OF
the mayor should be raised. An cleo
ton lool ing to the amendment of the
charter and to provide the increase is
soon to be held. There ought , be but
one side to this question. Laurens can
not expect always to command good
service from a competent man at the
head of the city administration for $3.50
AT the latter figure the office is one of
honor with little profit. Sometimes we
have eff lent mayors AVID we might
have them If 40 salary were paid but
the office requires time and labor and
ability. a fit man as u rule Is unwIll-
ing to work solely for the honor Of an
Office. Few can afford honors of that
kind. Laurens is a city of 5000 peo-
pie and should no. rudge its chief ex-
ecutive officer s, year. The ques-
tion should be det, lined without re-
gard to the incumbe. mayor. THE AID.
VERTISER fully believes that he should
have the benefit of the increase but
that is not the pertinent question, Our
mayors should be paid more and the
city should not be niggardly. We hope
that no serious opposition to tho pre-
posed increase viii appear.

Y,o,,obt re xyould come 10 her at the
no,oce. aud when / had again said no,
she reiterated her intention OF going
to him Mt once; but my courage ta''eo
me and 1 did not speak of 1t.
1 knew that Mary ought not TO come
to our room, and that IL news OF IL
should reach the kings ears tnere
would be more and worse trouDle tnan
over. md as usual Brandon would pay
the penalty for all. Then again, II IL
were discovered 1t might seriously com
promise both Mary and Jane, as tne
world Is full of people who would rath-
er say and believe an evil thing OF hu-
other than TO say their prayers or TO
believe the holy creed.
/ had said as much to the Lady Mary
when she expressed her determination
to go to Brandon. She had been In the
wrong so much Of late hat she was
humbled, and / was brave enough to
say whatever / felt, but she said she
had thought 1t all over, and as every
one was away from Greenwich 1t
would not be found out If done Sc
crctly.
She told Jane she need not go; that
she, Mary, did not want to take any
risk of compromising her.
Jane would have gone, though. had
she known that all her fair name would
go with her. She was right, you see,
when she old me while riding owe to
Windsor that should Mary's love BIOS
som into n full blown passion she
would wreck everything and every
body, including herself perhaps, to at
tain the object Of so great II desire.
1t looked now as If SHE were on the
highroad to that end. Nothing short
of chains and letters could have kept
her from going to Brandon that even
ing. There was an inherent force about
her that was irresistible and swept
everything before it.
In our garnet she was to meet anoth-
err will, stronger and infinitely better
controlled than her own and 1 did not
know how 1t would all turn out.

For The storm Sufferers.

Laurens sent promptly a reasonably
liberal sum to the Clifton and Pacolot
sutferers-as much as might have been
expected when TIE actual need is con-
sidered. 1t developed that not SO large
a fund was needed as was first believed.
Nevertheless, it is q fact that Laurens
did not subscribe as literally as did
Newberry, Greenwood, Sumter and a
number Of other towns OF about The
same population. Enough was enough
perhaps; but III it is we'll to remember
next time that other communities may
take a larger view of n situation than
we have taken on this occasion. Lau-
rens, however, sen a fund to Gaines
VILE and few South Carolina towns re-
membored Gainesville.

Can n President lie!

y staff correspor of the New
York Sun writing vm Charleston
about the Crum appointment declares
inferentially that q president Of the
United States cannot lie and immeGi-
ate,y demonstrates that Theodore
Roosevelt possibly did lie. Tci' Yam
kee correspondent of II II publican
newspaper handles the subject deli
cately but he eugraves on the mind OF
the average reader the impression
that prevarication may be ore of The
many accomplishments of the most
strenuous Of American presidents. In
short the correspondents makes It clear
and sur that If the president did not
lie,his intimate friend whois the editor
of o Northern magazine lied for him,
leaving to the president but o1e escape
and that by ~prcnouncing his friend a
liar out of the whole cloth.

A Cotton Year.

This is n year in whicA THE AD-
vERTISER believes in cotton. 1T is not
likely that the price of cotton will drop
below ten cents early in the fall. In oar
opinion the wise farmer will raise all
the cotton he can and have it ready for
market quick. The price OF cotton may
not drop during the coming season but
whether ~ not to hold, each producer
must decide for himself. There is big
money i'm cotton n. ten certs-morp
than in any known crop in the world.
1t is bringing 13 cents now.

MINNESOTA a FAIR.

August 81. This Year-'TwilI Be
The Best of a Wonderful Series Of
Big Fairs.
The 44th Annual Minnesota State
Fair will be opened on Monday. Au-
gust 81. with an address by United
States Senator Charles w, Fairbanks,
of Indiana, an eloquent and forceful
speaker of national reputation and
known as a presidential possibility of
the future.
Perhaps the most important feature
of the fair will be the National Live
Stock exhibitions and sales held in
connection with the American Here
ford Breeders Association and the
American Shorthorn Breeders Asso-
citation. These exhibitions have
grown from a tentative display four
years ago until they are known among
breeders all over the country as the
most successful shows of their kind.
Premiums have beer increased in
all departments and $45 900 is now the
grand total offered by the Minnesota
Fair for exhibits and in purses.
There will be the largest display of
farm implements and machinery ever
seen in the west. This department
will center about the new Farm Ma
chinery Building which has been
erected his summer at a cost of SILL
900.
In the main or exposition building
every foot of space was assigned be-
fore midsummer and booths will be
erected as in 1902 for the accommo-
dation of the overflow exhibitors.
The dairy building will be crowded:
the poultry building has been equip
ped with new show coops and will
make a fine display of the feathered
tribe.
The woman's department has out
grown its old quarters and has been
given the building used only a few
years ago for the entire agricultural
and horticultural display.
: There will be keen competition
among the counties this year. The
:. premium awards for county exhibits
! have been revised and increased and
made more equitable. Fruit will be
conspicuous.
Adjustments at the fair will be bet
ter thar ever before, both in charac-
ter and variety. The largest race en-
> try list ever made up for any state
fair was announced o after July l
Y More than 26O horses were entered
and for the great s. 1000 pacing race Al
entries were made. This means ire
" mendous racing at the state fair.

plemented with specialties OF a higl
