The Cars Contradictions

Scepticism is the Wise Attitude to
hold toward things Russian. The best
Informed and most learned correspond
ents who are on the spot and write for
serious periodicals. abroad prove con-
stantly mistaken in their forecasts and
interpretations Distinguished and f.
mined Russians give contradictoi,
explanations of every incident 1fnews-
paper editorials seem omniscient on each
successive phase, forgetful of erroneous
guesses, it is because they think they
must. Timidly, however, we venture
to suggest that the Cars srecent course
may not have been quite SO vacillating
as it seems. His apparently contradic.
tory moves were probably dictated by
policyno at first sight clear to foreigners
1t is less important to him and his adj
visers to seem consistent to Americans
than to keep in hand the many groups
of his population. The divine rights
manifesto was concocted to reach the
masses through the Church. 1t was
read in churches through out the empire.

were sops in the liberal party. More
over, Witte and other intelligent Rus
slams hold combinations of views less
familiar here than in Germany, where
William successfully lessened hostility
to his divine and absolute rights by
many popular socialand economic policies
Witte's plan has been much the same.
Something of that policy, we imagine,
is now slightly influencing the Car, as
we'll as the opportunist policy of pres
pairing different proclamations to suit the
different ingredienty of his people. AS
matter of fact, also, new laws are
probably much less needed than some
willingness to allow existing laws to
operate without being made farce of
by the bureaucracy and the police. -

RUSSIAN RETREAT
STILL CONTINUES.
No Time to Bury Their
Dead Soldiers.
KUROPATKIN REMOVED
Russians May Make Stand at Harbins
Peace Glimmers in the Dis
tanCe.

Since the "Battle of Mukden" the
Russians have made no "stand up fight"
against the Japanese. The retreat has
been continuous, with the Japanese
army in pursuit. 1t is reported that
the Russians during the last few days
have been unable to bury their dead.
Gen. Kuropatkin has been relieved of
the command of the Russian forces by
the Car and Gen. Linevitch appointed
to supercede him.
The evidences are now that the Rus
slams will not make decided stand un-
til they reach Harbin. If Gen. Line
vitch's army totals 100000 men when
he reaches Harbin it is claimed that the
reservists mobilized last fall and the
Forth army corps now arriving in the far
east will give him an army of 400,000
men without summoning additional
reserves.
The Russian Emperor still insists on
prosecuting the war and the Govern
ment maintains it's ability to continue
the conflict. However it is reported
that in view of the repeated reverses
additional Russian bonds can not be
floated This however is denied by the
Russian Government.
Outside of the ruling family the sen.
timent is very strong for peace in the
dominion of the Car.
In some of the Provinces the peasant
disorders are growing rapidly and the
alarming reports indicate that a reign
of terror exists. With no expressions
from either side to that effect the world
feels the light of peace breaking in the
Far East.

Miss Elizabeth Todd Entertains.

The Fortnightly Social Club met with
Miss Elizabeth Todd at O'Clock on
Tuesday afternoon. This club has
adopted the game of "Natons" as it's
programme of entertainment for the
next few months, 50 tables were ar
ranged for the game, which is some
thing akin to whist and voted more in
teresting than finch.
AT any rate Miss Todd's entertain
ment was greatly enjoyed by all of her
guests, but the beautiful parlors, decor
ated with a wealth of yellow jonquils,
and other pretty and dainty accessories
doubtless went far to render the occa-
sion delightful.
Delicious refreshments, fruit salad,
cake and coffee were served by Miss
Edna Darlington, of Spartanburg, and
Miss Annie Darlington, of Laurens.
Among those present were: Misses
Emily Meng, Josephine Minter, Annie
Gilkerson, Tallulah Caine, Annie Gar
lington; Mesdames w. H. Anderson,
w. HI. Washington, j. o. C. Fleming,
e. p. Minter, w. P. Caine,J. d. Watts

NEWS AND COURIER ENTERPRISE.
A Big New Press Ordered and New Build

1t is understood that the News and
Courier company has closed a contract
for new Hoe press, which will print,

tensive stcrcotyping outfit, and iii addi-
tion to this, the company is tearing
down the old and building new two
story building to give more room in the

How the Merchants Have Provided all
That WOman's Heart Can Desire.


AS Easter falls late in April this year
the formal Spring Openings" at the
dry goods stores will also fall week or
80 later than usual but look into the
stores now would give the uninformod
the impression that opening day had
arrived already. At Davis & Roper's,
The Hub, Simmons, Wilson and
Burns, five of the SWEETEST" estab-
lishments in Laurens things are moving
right along and an effort being made to
surpass all former seasons in the ele-
gance of the dress goods and millinery
Miss Ingram will preside again over
the millinery department of Davis &
Roper, which will be good news to all
the ladies'. This firm is getting in
crowds of goods and have all the latest
things in silks, street hats, neckwear,
etc.
On the 28th, they will have a special
sale of the American Corset. This cor
set is very superior article in make
and fit and sells ordinarily at dol
lar. On next Tuesday every lady pre-
senting a coupon at the store can pur-
chase one for rs cents. The coupons
can be obtained by calling at Davis g.
Roper and asking for them. Any lady
asking for coupon will receive it.
Davis & Roper are offering their GUS
toners great bargain in these cor
sets.
AT Wilson'S silks for shirt waist
suits catch the eye at once and will be
likely to have fatal effect on a good
many pocket books. Silks at 60 cts a
yard, good enough for shirt waist suit
are worthy of respect and will doubtless
attract shoppers. Mr.. Wilson is also
showing new and beautiful material
called Lucia crepe, one of tke preftiest
fabrics the reporter has seen, and has
besides a complete line of mercerized
goods for white waists.
At Simmons the summer goods are
displayed most effectively and thestore
is mass of loveliness. A line of nets
and all over laces for dresses is one of
the very handsome things they are
showing. For shirt waists they have
most attractive values in Japan silk and
everything that can be imagined in the
way of mercerized goods. Some of the
patterns in the latter are remarkably
pretty and will make useful and mex
pensive dresses.
Miss Fretwell of Baltimore and Mrs.
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1905-03-22

Thomas Downey are in charge Of the
millinery department and preparations
are being made for handsome display
of hats.
AT "The Hub" interest centres in
the millinery department. Mrs. t. H.
Nelson has just returned from two
weeks stay in Baltimore and has liter
ally at her fingers ends all the latest
departures in millinery. Already a
beautiful line of ready-to-wear hats has
arrived and if you wish to, you can get
your Spring hat at Nelson's tomorrow
or this afternoon, if you prefer. These
hats have been selected with great care
and you'll be sure to find something to
please you. Their embroideries, laces,
dress patterns, etc. are up to their US
ual standard, which is the best.
'The Red Iron Racket" is a little
way off the square but has steady
flow of trade nevertheless. Mr.. Burns
is just back from the North and has
bought an immense stock, which it will
be well worth your while to see. Burns
is the place for bargains. That's their
speciality. They have bargain days
every day they say and their custom
ers agree with them.
We feel sure that if the ladies of the
county had glance at the things to be
seen on the dry goods counters of Lau-
rens there'd be rush to investigate
thoroughly even though there's quite a
good deal doing on the farms just at
present.
Minter's and Copeland's are not to
be forgotten for they have given
thought to the needs Of man and have
as many Easter hats to show as any
other firm in town.
Their stores are well worth visit
from the ladies too for no costume is
complete these days without shoe to
match.
