A LETTER
From LOngman s. Martinez, The Paint
Manufacturers.
New York, May 80, 100

New York, May 80, 1901
Batesburg Advocate;-As extensive
advertisers in the press throughout all
of the Southern States, and having
large commercial interests In e, cry
section of the South, we have natural
iy been alert to the changes that have
occurred during the past few years,
and they have been such glorious
changes u the Southland that we can
not help expressing our intense graft
tication, which has been, so to speak, -,
bottled up because we were fearful
that we might be premature in con-
graduating all of our friends.
1t is great source OF pleasure to us
to receive the hundreds of merchants
from the South, who are now bright
eyed apd rosy, and full of prosperity,
because of the immensity of the wealth
that is pouring into the South, in ex-
change for the largest OF crops ever
grownlin the cotton belt of the South
ern States Corn and wheat are rails
ed in other sections, and have contrib
try, but three-fourlhs of all the cotton
of the world is grown in the Southern
States, and 1t has made the South lich
beyond expression, and will continue
to do 81, anu to pile up these riches
year by year.
Money is flowing southward in an
endless stream into the pockets of all
OF the population, and every one has
money, ana consequent desire TO
make use of it in filling needful wants.
Homes are made beautiful, luxurie,
hitherto uhattainable are now easily
procured. and every aspecS of the fu
ture is in consequence, extraordinarily
bright. AS makers off the celebrated
l.. ~ Nj. Paint, we have been amor o.
the first to sch it in the decorations of
the house, and all its SURROUNDINGS
May it long continue.

At last Batesburg Is in fair way to
have lights and water, For wouths
past the question has been street gos-
sip, but not until iately was there any
definite step taken to push the mat
ter to u Gual vote. The vote showed
beyond the question of y doubt
that it was the general senti ment of
the towns people as the ballot showed
that over four out of every five were
in favor OF the measure. 1t will be Of
course some time before any thing de-
finite can be reached. First will come
the placing Of the bonds TO the best
advantage, then estimates will have to
be made as to the best way of progress
ing. Surveyors will have to be con
suited and surveys made, so that cor
rect estimate of the whole cost can be
ascertained, then comes the location
OF the plant and what power To be used
Last, but by no means least, will be
the locating of the water mains and
street lamps. There is buo little doubt
that after the plant is Installed and OPP
eretiug smoothly the town will derive
I. handsome income from not only the
lights but water also. There are many
who do not want to go to the expense
of putting up windmilis who can get
all the water needed for II nominal
sum per year. One of the great fea
lures will be the reduction of insurance
that the water supply will affect. In
many cases the reduction on The fire
insurance will make their pay the sum
total Of taxes heretofore paid out each
year. Another feature, and by 10
means small one, will be The lighting
of private houses and stores, that in
the past have had to use kerosine oil.
We predict that ~ the next five years
to come property values will be en-
haneed at least twenty-five per cent.
Take the statistics of any of our snail
towns in this and other States and you
will frd that the adoption of water
and light plant has in every instance
not only increased values but date their
growth from the above mentioned
movement.
Our mayor and city council deserve
great credit for their endeaVOr IN be.

he saw far up In the blue Of the sky
field of waving daisies which might have
been the many stars swimming in his
tired eyes. And In that field was man
with crowds Of sparrows fiuttering round
him. which might have been the cinders
from the burning building. And the wom-
an who had spread her shawl on the
ground in the ruined church knelt at the
mans feet And, more than all, there
was Sillabil's mother smiling as she lean
ed forward beckoning him to her.
And the Captain, too" said Sillabil-

1t may be like the one you lost, and go
round the corner to the store where
there are bottles and flies in the win
dow and tell 'em one legged Tom sent
you for his medicine. Then you tie
the bottle to this string which | throw
over the wall, and I'll haul in the medl-
cine that cures my cough. Listen to
my cough" And series Of sepulchral
agonized sounds startled the air. 'Ill
give you boost over the wall and the
Captain too. Remember, they'll drown
the Captain tonight!'
Drown the Captain! Sillabil felt
queer He was not alarmed. for to be
alarmed you ought to have thought,
and Sillabil hardly ever thought his
latest thought having been week ago
when he had seen his mother in long
box which the women of the house
told him was for her to sleep in and
that If he cried he might wake her.
OF course he wouldn't wake her, he
said, for she must be tired or she
wouldn't have fallen asleep over her
sewing machine, though the thought
Of a week ago took the form Of ques-
ton: why did his mother go to sleep
in the long boxT Then the women
Of the house sent him out for romp
with the Captain. When he got back
his mother was no longer there, and a
man brought him to his present place
of abode.
1t was the good lame man who liked
to kick him in order to see him jump
who told him that his mother was
sleeping under the daisies.
Sillabil would not ask where the
daisies were, for that would be like
saying that his mother had neglected
to tell him, and his mother had never
neglected him.
you've got nice name, too, Silla-
bill" said the good lame man. ITS
only part Of big word. and you're
only part Of yourself. Something
up here eh?" And he tapped himself
on the forehead. Sillabil was used to
people tapping their foreheads when
they spoke about him, and 1t looked
SO wise that he had got into the habit
Of doing 1t himself when he spoke of
other people.
"You understand" persisted the good
lame man, they're going to drown the
Captain. He can hardly see, can he?'
Eyes. he can," Sillabil cried, ''only his
eyes got hurt that time the house was
afire and he wouldn't leave me till l
was awake, and so he got burnt"
Hurry, Sillabil," urged the good
lame man. "for It's nearly dark, and
they'll soon drown the Captain"
1t was the work of a momentum
a tree, on to wall. drop outside, the
captain scrambling after him. ,limping
little where he had fallen.
In vast haste Sillabil found the
shop around the corner.
Medicine for one legged Tom," he
said, placing on the counter the silver
coin that looked so much like the one
he had lost. And then. remembering
his wise act, he tapped his forehead
and nodded.
OF course they understood him, and
he took small bottle and tied 1t to
the dangling string hanging over the
wall across which he and the captain
had come. The bottle disappeared.
Here comes the man after the Cap
tain" a voice said, and Sillabil and
the Captain struck out. How they did
run! There was a new freedom about
1t; no one to frown at you, as had been
the case for week, no one to push and
jostle you. But where to go, where to
find the daisies! The good lame man
had said that daisies grew In country

He saw what the schools needed, and
this led him TO take an interest In
state legislation. He was elected to
the state assembly and afterward to
the state senate, in which lie served
three terms. In 1895 he was presi-
dent of the senate. In 1901 Governor
voorhees, named him as clerk in chan
gerry Of the state.
Two years ago he came within four
votes Of being elected United States
senator to succeed the late Senator
Sewell. A story is told in this con-
neetiOn that illustrates the character
of the man. 1t is said that Voorhees,
wished Stokes to accept from him an
ad interim appointment TO Senator
Sewell's seat, arguing that with the
prestige Of possession he could win
permanent title when the legislature
met.
Would that be playing fair?" asked
Stokes.
y Certainly" replied the governor
Stokes was tempted. but after a mo-
ment his beaming face turned grave
and he replied:
II can't take 1t. l appreciate the
offer and thank you, but Griggs will
be a candidate, and l don't want to
take advantage of him. All want

The result of the parliamentary cleo
tions in Canada was triumph for the
Liberals, which means the return to
power of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as pre-
mier. Sir Wilfrid is very popular
statesman. BY many he is regarded
as the foremost Canadian of the pres
ent time. He was born near Quebec in
iS41 of French Canadian parentage
and educated for the bar. In 1874 he
entered parliament, and his powers as
a speaker soon attracted attention. He
was in the cabinet of the late Sir
Alexander Mckenzie, and in 1888 was
chosen leader of the Liberal opposition
in the house of commons at Ottawa In
succession to Mr.. Blake, and has been
