The Banks.
Laurens Advertiser.

The banking facilities of Laurens are
equal to that of any other town of it's
size in the State, and yet the deposits
and business done is less than that
done in some other towns Of its class.
This is not because the county is
poorer, for the people of Laurens
County are more prosperous than the
average; but because our rural popula-
ton, who can use banks to the advant'
age; fail to appreciate that advantage.
The man who holds certificate OF
stock in a bank can carry his 'in
dorser in his pocket", and the capital
so invested is making the owner
money while be sleeps.
No conservative business man, be he
merchant or farmer, needs all his
money in his business all the time,
and every hustling business man has
to borrow some money now and then,
otherwise he is bound to have some
idle capital on his hands, and the most
desirable collateral is good bank stock.
We have banks enough in this town
but why not increase their capital
stock and get every man in the county
W ldhc dI lcdSG OuC SuoiC, ohu oho" w
him that the bank is safe place to
keep his money as well as a good
place from which to borrow when he
needs it. .
Don't think because the deposit is
small the banks do not wish to take
care of it for you. Five dollar
accounts, when the money is left in
bank for two or three months, are
more attractive than larger ones,
where it is almost Immediately
checked out.
Only little while ago The Adver-
tiser printed a story where
an old negro woman, who lives in
sight of this Office, had $40 in bills
burned up in her clothes, and only q
few weeks have passed since a house
was burned in Laurens, and a trunk
containing over 500 was entirely
consumed. Had this money been in
bank it would not have been lost.
There is no risk in depositing your
money in home bank. There has not
been a loss to a depositor in South
Carolina since the days of wild cat'
banks in the '70s.

COUNTY MUTUAL
ASSOCIATION
OF AMERICA.
Abbeville Division.
Abbeville, S. G.

II IS WITH PLEASURE WE
announce the fact that we have
effected arrangements by which we are
prepared to conduct the business of
the "County Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton of America in Abbeville Coun-
ty, independent of the Parent Asso-
citation whose headquarters are at Un-
ion, S. g.
The purpose of the Association is to
secure to the family of each member
of the same who may die, one dollar
for every member belonging to the AS
sociation at the time of his or her
death.
The idea an ectenSo is to take one
thousand persons, men and women,
bind them together in business way
to help each other in time of need and
trouble. 1t is more like family af-
fair than anythingl else. You only
pay when one dies. If you join now
your first payment of $3.50 pays you
up until first of January, 1905, unless
we lose one of our members, when you
would be called on to pay one dollar
and ten cents to replace the amount
paid out on account of the death claim
and expenses.
1t is unquestionably the cheapest in
surance known of. You are receiving
insure nee at actual cost.
Any white persons between the ages
of eighteen and fifty-five, male or fe-
male, may become a member of the
Association until the number of one
thousand be reached; after that no
one over thirty can get in, and he only
TO replace a deceased member. II,
therefore, you are over thirty years of
age this is the only chance you will
have of Joining.
You owe it to your family, you owe
it to yourself to provide something for
their protection in case you are taken
away from them.
Consider the matter, examine and
study our plan, act promptly and let
our agents write you up at once.
Remember that this is purely home
institution the money to pay death
claims is in the bank at this place, be-
ing always collected in advance of
death the claim paid Immediately on
notice of death of the member; no
waiting sixty or ninety days, with
ever so much "red tape" to be OBJ
served in order to collect a death claim
and that the officers of The company
are your own people.
If there is any additional informa-
tion as to the plan desired, call on
either of the undersigned or any of
the company's agents and they will
take pleasure in explaining the same.

POLICE ARRESTED SALIVA
TION LASSES.
Members Of Army Sang While in Cells
and Other Prisoners Joined

members OF Army Sang While In Cells
and Other Prisoners Joined
Them.
Special to The State.
Charleston, June 19.-The lobby and
cells of the station house filled and
echoed this afternoon with gospel
hymns as result of the arrest of a
half dozen Salvation Army lasses for
conducting a meeting on American
street without having procured a per-
NIT to do so.
The women were not aware of the
ordinance on the subject and when
they raised the hymn jealous police
officer rounded up the bunch and sent
them in. AS the patrol wagon rolled
into the station house the lasses sang
out and many of the prisoners in the
cells joined in the chorus and the sta
tion house was temporarily converted
into a gospel meeting house.
1t was all too much for the Charles
ton police officer and shortly after the
Salvation Army people had come in
they were ordered to be discharged
by Maj. Boyle, the charge being with
drawn on account of their ignorance
of the law.

A RULE THAT DOESN'T WORK BOTH
WAYS.
While it is not the business of this
Association to discuss the daily news.
papers, yet on the principle that a cat
may look at queen, we would make
a remark or two. After disavowing
any intention to intermeddle, we
would call attention to a rule that
doesn't work both ways.
The country newspaper claims the
smallness of its field as reason for its
higher price.
The daily newspapers, with a local
field, charge much less than the daily
in great city, with many counties
and a whole State as its field.
Newspapers as Lawmakers" R. T.
Jaynes, Keowee Courier, Walhalla."
We do not see how newspapers may
be lawmakers, except on the idea that
the hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world. AS a bachelor is like a
blank sheet of paper, not even ruled,
we do not see how a newspaper may
make laws.
Newspapers excite public senti-
ment and urge the people along the
lines on which they are inclined.
But when a newspaper starts out
along new lines in which the people
are Dot already interested, it will have
hard fight without other result than
to convince the people that it is some
thing of a lunatic. An editor should
never forget that what he writes is
for public scrutiny, and he shonld
not lose sight of the fact that the
public cannot be deceived as to his
sincerity or insincerity. It is better,
therefore, for him to speak his true
sentiments or keep silent. An editor
may turn the light into dark places
and bring about needed reforms by
the exacting public sentiment which
had been lying dormant, or which
needed only little effort to develop,
but when he runs county to public
Sentiment he is trying to swim up
stream.
"Voting Contests, Gift Propositions,

This subject knocks US clear out OF

We know nothing of the subject. We

our good friend John c. Baily OF
Greenville, tried the plan of giving
gifts to those subscribers to his
paper who might guess the number of
seeds in bottle. He had, so the story
goes, fairly good results. The Noun
taineer's competitors, the Greenville
News, had no foolishness about the
matter, but was in dead earness in its
efforts to increase circulation. An
active agent was hired, and by person
al appeal to people on the farms
wonderful success was secured.

torpedoboat destroyer, Lieutenant
Burukoff, arrived here from Port Ar
thur yesterday evening and is berthed
alongside the gunboat Sivouch. The
river bank was soon crowded with ex
Russians that the Japanese fleet had
been completely destroyed.
The officers of the Lieutenant Buru-
koff tell several stories. One is that
Admiral Togos report Of the fighting
was exaggerated and that the Russians
have made two cruises in the gulf of
Pe-chi-n in five days.
Another story is that the Port Ar

squadron;

Of having been in a general engage

away. and it looked as II she had
rescued many men. The Lieutenant
Burukon Is one Of the torpedoboat
destroyers taken from the Chinese al
Taku in 1900. The general belize
here is that she ran Admiral Togo's
blockade and came here with dis.
patches for the army and for st. Pc
tersburg. This is quite natural, as
two Cossack officers were on board.

Premier I.aurier's Injunction to

Military Officers.

Ottawa, Ont, June 30.-Premier Sir
Wilfrid Laurier created a sensation at
the banquet to the officers of the OF
tawa military district by declaring
that Canada must prepare herself for
possible8 war even with SO good a
friend of the Dominion as the United
States.
IF had my own way, and In this
matterGI express my own WISH" said
the premier, there would be a corps
of volunteers In every town, in every
village, in every hamlet The boy
should learn early how to shoot. Tn
fortunately there is not enough Of our
population who know how to use the
rife and understand its delicate mech
anism. We should develop this knowl-
edge, altho we may never have g.
war.
The only people with which we
can have war is race Of the same
kith and kin as the mother country,
and I would look upon war between
Great Britain and the United States as
almost as great a crime as the civil
war which convulsed the United States
forty years ago. The two nations are
to make manhood what it should be,
to foresee the day that such con-
tingency could arise.
but whilst we hope that It may
never take place, we must always be
prepared"
Toronto, Ont, June 3O.-It is re-
ported that Canada is to be divided
into seven military districts with the
same boundaries as the provinces and
a major general is to be appointed to
command each.
