GAS TRUST AGAINST LOW.
MONROE PROTECTS CITY.
Tammany FaUored OUerchrges for
Street Lights.

The action taken by Mayor Low and Commits
sioncr Monroe to prevent the Consolidated Gas
Company and its subsidiary corporations from
overcharging the city for street lights is said to
explain why certain financial interests have be-
come active in support of Mcclellan. the Tam
many candidate for Mayor, why they are strain
ing every nerve to prevent a serious detection
from the Tammany ticket in Brooklyn, and why
State Senator McCarren has been selected by
Murphy the Tammany leader in Brooklyn
In the last Tammany administration the Bu-
reau of Gas and Electricity was a docile SER
want of the gas and electric lighting corpora
lions, and an investigation which Commissioner
Monroe carried on, with the help OF the Com
missioners of Accounts, showed that the city
was being grossly overcharged for it's street
lights.
A bill to enable the city in its discretion to
establish a municipal lighting plant was de-
feated at Albany by combination of some
country members with the Tammany and
Brooklyn Democratic members of the legisla-
ture. and the leader I'm the attack on the bill
was Senator McCarren. This year the city
lighting has been done without a contract be-
tween the city and the companies, for the rea-
son that the bidding for contracts became a
farce when the Consolidated Gas Company con-
troed all the lighting companies and negotia-
lions to fix reasonable rate for street lamps
have been pending. 1t is believed, therefore that
the Consolidated Gas Company is awaiting the
result Of the coming election with unusual in
terest.
AT the time all the electric wires were put
under ground in the city a contract between
the city and the Consolidated Subway Company
provided that the city should receive all profits
or the subways exceeding 10 per cent on the
actual cash capital invested" and the city
might buy the subways for their actual cost and
10 per cent added. The company has been de-
ciarlng deficit and construction account of
ABOUT Sivcpoco, and the city has been getting
holhlnS out OF the subwayS, but investigation
started by Commissioner Monroe has resulted
IN a report by Mr.. Owen, Commission of Ac-
counts lhat the company earned S463 0G0 last
year, and that S4.2O2,0oO would be a liberal
estimate or actual cost of subway construction
mus showing that the city is entitled to get
SOoVO out OF last years earnings
IL seems probable that the city has lost money
ever since 1871 by the device Of procuring a CON
structlon company TO build the subwavs allow
ing 10 the company a large profit over the actual
cost OF construction and paying with bonds at
heaNy discount with stock thrown in while
charging against the city the full cost and the
par value of the stocks and bonds. The control
OF the subway company by the lighting trust
makes II plain why the trust would like to defeat
Mayor Low and get Tammany back in power

CONCISE SKETCH OF LAURENS COUNTY
WRITTEN BY MR.. W. W. KENNEDY

After the building of the South Carolina Railroad as
far as Aiken, in the thirGes, that became the depot for this
part of the country, and SO continued till the branch was
built from Branchville to Columbia. From Columbia a
road was after a while built to Newberry, then to Green
Vile, and, i'll the meantime from Newberry to Iaurens, and
up to the civil war these lines constituted the railroad faci-
tiles of western Carolina. Itaurens was, up to the wal, the
depot for Spartanburg, and Clinton for Union.
Prior to the civil war the public school system was a
farce, and while there was a universal desire for some edu-
cation the aspiration of a large proportion of the people
did not extend beyond reading, writing and arithmetic.
But all Of this has been changed and the provincial people
have become cosmopolitan; with all that that means i'll lib
crafty of thought, breadth of interest, and ycarning for all
possible knowledge.
When the "craze Of secession" swept over the State i'll
1860, Laurens took her full share, as she did of the conse-
quences that followed i'll four years of bloody war, and
twenty years of destructive reconstruction. She was also
ready when the time came for the "Prostrate State" to rise
i'll 1876 to do her full duty, and until the reign of civiliza-
ton was fully restored, none was more vigiant, courageous
and energetic.
I,aurens County contains some very prosperous towns,
i'll which various industries, OH a considerable scale, are i'll
successful operation; while banking facilities are ample for
all needs. The city Of Laurens contains a furniture fac
tory, wagon shop, planning mills, lumber yards, a foundry,
one of the best laundries i'll the State, an oil mill, and prob
ably the best managed cotton mill i'll the State, under the
presidency of Mr.. w. Il. Lucas. Another large cotton mill
is being built, to go into operation next fall or winter I'LL
der the presidency of Mr.. Lucas also. This mill will be
known as Watts Mill. The capital invested i'll the two
mills will be considerably over onc million dollars.
There are many fine water powers i'll and along the
borders of I1aurens County, which only await the touch of
modern engineering to turn them into motive power for
machinery on the spot OF for dynonos to generate electric
ity for distant points.
The mineral resources are considerable and consist of
lime, granite, traces of gold, asbestos, etc. The wells and
springs furnish all abundant supply of both mineral and
freestone water.
Stock of all kinds can be raised proftably; all the
grasses, grains, cotton, tobacco-in fact every crop that
grows i'll a temperate climate, and even some belonging to
the tropics, can be grown with ease and profit.
The population of the city is about 5000 and of the
entire county about 10000.
The Piedmont section of South Carolina is the garden
spot of the Southern States, and I,aurens County, in the
the midst of this section, is in every respcct,-pcople,m ma
terial resources and general capabIitics-thc equal Of the
best.

Every wagon and horse track bad

rather, tangled. They tangled us. In two
hours time we took five wrong roads. At
one place there were three prongs. We
tried them-all of them--and the two
wrong ones first. We reached Hen

lovely valley of Crooked Greek where
the people on the other side said we
could easily get comfort for man and
beast for the night. The valley APP
peared full of pretty homes surrounded
by handsome farms. | rode up to a
house to which several persons had di-
rected us and asked for accommoda.
tions. A 20 year old youth replied
"that Pa had gone to Church and he
reckoned we had better try at the next
house."
At that next house a man with a
beard, apparently of % or 80 years,
said: "Well, Pa hasn't come home
from Church-he might take you il he
were-but I'd rather he was here"
The next man, Mr.. Bird, was an or
phan and a gentleman. 1 am SUR he
was q kindly, hospitable gentleman
and / fancy he was an orphan. AT any
rate he did not tell us to keep going
because his "pa" was not at home and
we had a good night among good peo-
pie and plenty to eat. But before we
reached Mr.. Birds house, 1t looked, to
