Why Not Manufacture!

II tho State of South Carolina finds
1t profitable to sell whiskey why does
1T not make whiskey? Why the corn
whiskey distillery in Co!umbia be a
private concern with dispensary ofi-
cials, perhaps, stockholders in ii? II
the State must buy two million do
lara worth of whiskey each yea, why
should it pay a big profit to dealers
and manufacturers in other States?
The loving father of the dispensary,
our noble leader B. r. rillman de-
clared at Gaffney that the purchase OF
case goods should be st pped and what
our noble leader says usually gOes-ex-
cept in Cherokee and Greenville, some
times. If the dispensary should sell
only fuss XII, two Y, three X and four
X, the manufacture of the whiskey
would be simple. With peck of nub-
bins, a bold spring, washpot, 40 feet
of gas pipe, q little nitro-glyceriue,
strychnine, petroleum and hell, any
naanJ-Nr ofvtl,,n. saa. N,r-"'rtess. 4aang can

What About a Third TermI

In the midst of the rioious and con-
founding cackliug of the South Carroll.
ma newspapers over who ehall be cur
next governor, we rise TO itquire What
is the matter with Duucan Cliuch Hey
ward the Colleton farmer and Oconee
commuter? He is the best governor
that South Carolina has had since that
noble gentleman, the late Mr.. John
Peter Richardson, retired from office
in 1890.
Two terms ara only four years in the
governors chair and half as long az
presidents Of the United States some-
times hold office.
We may not commit ourselves on the
subject of the governorship until our
good friend Mr. Hayward indicates that
he will not be candidate again in 1906.
1t is possible that we may not commit
ourselves then.

About immigration.

Each worthy immigrant who makes
his home in South Carolina helps to
make this white mans country.
We are prone at times to be boastful
about our people, our State aud our
country. reasonable amount OF such
pattlng OF ourselves on the back Is ex-
cusable. Perhaps it is even beneficial.
Nevertheless, we are not the only peo-
pie In the world.
We have in mind two immigrants
VINO have lived in thi, town 80 or 40
years or longer. We do not remember
good cause in which they have not
been enlisted. Our county is inhabited
by good peoples. The natives will
average with the best in the world
Nevertheless, We believe that every
thinking man in Laurens will agree
with us when we say that II 1000 men
OF the stamp of j. j. Pluss and L. G..
Bale should settle in Laurens county
in 1905 the average of our citizenship
ln intelligence, sobriety, industry,
honesty and the other manly virtues
would be so distinctly raised that no
other county in South Carolina or i'm
the United States could risk compari-
son with Laurens.
Moreover, they are not the only i'm
migrants who have been and ace valua-
BILE citizens. We think that the older
people of Laurens recalling the for.
eigners who have lived and died in
Lanrens County within the past half
century, will bear witness that hey
have as rule been good men and true.

UTICA, N. Y, Nov 24-wi1liam
Rockefeller. of the Standard Oil Com
pany, who owns $4,000 acres of forest
land in the Adirondacks, has again
aroused the ire of the natives by en-
gaging dozens Of guards to patrol his
vast preserve in Great North Woods
Several guards have been fired at dur
ing this week while watching would-be
trespassers. AS smokeless powder was
used in every case all efforts to locate
and capture these ''snipers'' have
proved futile.
Rockefeller, with his family, is at
present staying at his magnificent
lodge at Bay Pond. He is bitterly op-
posed to poaching and vandalism on
his premises.
The natives maintain that wild deer
cannot be bought with land, nor did
Rockefeller acquire the fish which, at
the expense of the State, had been
Rockefeller's land. They have shot and
ished on the land as far back as the

young Rauhauser was making his
statement to the detectives. The

The prosecution anticipates some diff
ficulty in sustaining the charges made
against President Valentine and others
IN connection with the dynamite plot
from the fact that the Rauhausers,
being defendants in a criminal case.
cannot be compelled to be witnesses,
and also because young Rauhauser has
made statements that his confession
was obtained through coercion.
