cal Steps to Preserve Peace

The firing on lighters attempting to land
part of the cargo of the Clyde Line
steamer New York by a Government gun
boat, as reported in cable dispatches pub
lished to-day. has aroused indignation in
official circles here. and it was said at the
Navy Department that the probable course
OF action after such an outrage would be
the seizure of the Government gunboat by
Rear Admiral Wise, in which event il
probably would be carried to Guantanamo.

WHY REMIT

When you can own your own home
with the same money?
The Piedmont Savings, and Invest
ment Company will enable you to do
this.
Instead OF Paying Rent for years
and owning nothing at the end of the
term the property Is yours,
Meanwhile, you have had the home
from the frst-with the motive to inn
prove 1t.
Owning ones home does more to
make an independent man than any
thing else.
A man with little or no property finds
1t hard to borrow and build.
Such mon this company provides
credit for.
There are hundreds of working
men In this town paying rent On
houses that are not cosy and comforta.
bic, they have no conveniences, that
are not kept up and that are not inn
proving In value.
Lots In Laurens are cheap. These
same men, with the rent money they
are paying, can all own homes 10
which they will take pride and which
will grow more valuable each year.
The Piedmont Savings and Invest
ment Company Is not n building aud
loan association. Why? Because the
contract is certain and definite. The
borrower knows to day when his
debt will be due. Moreover the rate of
interest IL lower.

WHO WILL THE
CANDIDATES BE?
Talk In LaurenS About the
Officers.
THE WOODS ARE FULL.
Others RemaintO be Heard
From.
Only One Member Of Legislature VIII
Stand for Reelection, Mr.. Irby
Other Matters.

Who are going to run for the Offices
this year? The time is rapidly ap-
preaching when the candidates will
go to work. Some of them are already
at work.
Mr.. Goodwin, it is stated, is not a
cand date for reelection to the senate,
though The ADVERTISER has not
heard this from Mr.. Goodwin himself.
However, there seems to bo doubt Of
it. For the vacancy, Col. III. Y. Simp.
son aud II. p. MCGOWAN are spoken of,
Neither is candidate as yet. Mr.. Nc
Gowan is also mentioned for the house
OF course II is early yet and there may
be others, plenty of others.
For the house, Mr.. w. c. 1rby, Jr.
is candidate for recollection. MI
Cooper will run for solicitor and it is
said that Mr.. Nichols will not run.
Thus only one incumbent will be before
the people again. The names of @. O..
Featherstone and Dr.. b II. Godfrey are
discussed. 1t seems to THE ADVERTISER
that some strong man from Clinton or
the Clinton ne ghborhood should enter.
Clinton has 5000 people and there has
been no legislator from Hunters or
Jacks lately. EX-Supervisos Adair, j..
Andy Jones, Hayne Workman, G.. G..
Young and Jack Fl, Davis have been
mentioned as good legislative timber.
For Sheriff Captain Duckett Is can
didate for reelection. James w. Hen.
derson, B. A. Wharton and B.F.Ballew
are understood to be candidates. r. Dunk
Boyd, Representative Nichols and Off,
Ger J.FW. Bagwell OF the local police
force are also spoken of.
John f. Bolt, the Clerk OF Court. Is
likely 10 be opposed by L. F. Simpson,
John A. Franks and Il. f. Ray.
Besides Mr.. Power, the incumbent,
the only names mentioned for Auditor
are Messrs West Donuon and ex-Audi-
tor Lowndes Ferguson. 1t is not GER
tain tn At either of the last two will run,
Supervisor Humbert will he opposed
by ex-Supervisor Drummond.
County Superintendent of Education
Brooks may possibly have opposition
in Prof. George Pitts and Prof. Bryson,
of Ora, Is also mentioned,
1t is thought that Treasurer Cope
land will have no opposition, as he is
the most popular man In the county
AT any rate no other name Is men
toned for that office.
Hugh S. Wallace has been mentioned
for one OF lhe Coudty Commissioner Is
places. Whether or not the incum-
bents will run again is not known here.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE
HAMPTON MONUMENT.
Effort to be Made to Raise Money Here
This Week and Everybody Should
Lend q Hand.

So far Laurens generally has given
little to the Hampton fund and 5000. is
expected from our people. Messrs S..
M. & e. H. Wilkes gave percentage
from their special sale last summer and
the Daughters of the Confederacy have
contributed sum. otherwise Lau-
res ms has done nothing.
In order TO make the legislative APP
preparation OF $4,000 available the
state must contribute o similar amount
Darlington, smaller county than Lau-
rens, has subscribed one thousand. An
derson has subscribed over $500. and
Charleston has made fair subscrip-
tion.
1t will be discre6itable to our county
and city if q subscription is not made.
