Horse Sense Hints.

Farm Journal.
Don't leave me hitched in my stall
at night with a cob right where ] must
lie down. I am tired and can't select
a smooth place.
Don't compel me to eat more salt
than 1 want by mixing it with my oats.
1 know better than any other animal
how much l need.
Don't think because I go free unde,
the whip 1 don't get tired. You would
move up if under the whip.
Don't think because / am a horse that
weeds and briars won't hurt my hay.
Don't whip me when Iget frightened
along the road, or l will expect it next
time and maybe make trouble.
Don't trot me up hill, for 1 have 70
carry you and the buggy and myself
too. Try it yourself sometime. Run
up hill with a big load.
Don't keep my stable very dark, for
when I go out into the light my eyes
are injured.
Don't say whoa" unless you mean
it.
Teach me to stop at the word. 1t
may check me if the lines break, and
save a runaway and ~smash-up.
Don't ask me to back with blinds on.
l am afraid to.
Don't u me down a steep hill, for
If anything should give way I might
break your neck.
Don't put on my blind bride so that
it irritates my eyes, or so leave my
forelock that it will be in my eyes.
Don't be careless of my harness as
to find a great sore on me before you
attend to it.
Don't forget the old book that is a
friend of all the oppressed, that say:
"a mercifui man is merciful to his
beast"

THE ABSORBING QUESTION.
Mr.. w. 7. Austin Believes Prohibition
the Proper Solution.

the Proper Solution.
EDITOR ADVERTISER: l want to saw
a few words on the all absorbing ques-
tion of the dispensary. i am convinced
that the State rum mill must go, and
think we ought to keep cool and try
and find the best solution of the pro-
blem. I am surprised that any a
can say che favors the ~dispensary as
the best solution Of the liquor question"
1t is so corrupt and corrupting that "he
that runneth may read" 1 believe
that prohibition is the only right solu-
ton of the problem and 1 believe that
public sentiment is being educated to
that point and that a prohibition law
can be sustained in South Carolina.
Let the counties vote it out, and if any
county is not ready for prohibition and
will have liquor, let that county man.
age its w ~dispensary. We can not
expect a prohibition law sustained to
that point where there will be no in
fraction of the law and because this is
so men say prohibition will not pro-
hibit." am surprised that men who
profess to be Christians will tamper
with q thing hat is causing their
weaker brethren to fall, and many to
i'll drunkard's graves. "If eating
eat will cause my brother to offend l
w | eat no meat while the world
st; ds."
S, re men r willing to retain the
dispen airy because it brings money in
to the Golfers of the town or to the
school fund. Does not all this money
come from the pockets of the people?
And If this rum mill temptation is re-
moved will not the people have this
same money to run their town or
schools? God pity the children who
have to be educated with tainted
money.
l think it would be better to add an
other 3 mills if necessary to run our
schools, also the ! mill to enforce pro-
hibition, if we can rid our county of
the awful curse of liquor.
A few words about our registration
law and l am done. 1 believe our reg
~istration law is all right, and / believe
it ought to be enforced, but some politi-
clans high in office have asserted time
and again that the law was not intended
to keep any white man from voting,
consequently many have been careless
about preserving their certificates. If
the law is enforced more rigidly when
an election is held under the Brice Bill
than at a general election there is sure
to be much friction. / think every true
and loyal citizen ought to be registered
and not disfranchise himself ny care

MARRIED IN NASHVILLE.

Friends Pleasant Surprise.
A telegram received in the city Fri
day morning by relatives of the bride
announced the marriage in Nashville
Tenn. Thursday evening of Miss Claudia
Crews and Mr.. Samuel r. Todd, of this
city. Miss Crews went to Anderson
and Greenville last week to visit friends
and MIR. Todd disappeared from the
city on what has turned out to be a
most pleasant mission, a few days ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Todd are now in Nash
vile. This marriage unites two very
popular members of Laurens society.
The bride is a very beautiful daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Crews, and a
grand daughter of Col. T. B. Crews,
the veteran editor of the L%aurensville
Herald. The groom is the only son of
the late Col. r.. p. Todd and is very
prominently connected in upper Caro-
lima.

LIFE INSURANCE CORRUPTION.

The revelations of the Armstrong
Legislative examination in New York
into the performances of the great life
insurance companies ought to be printed
in all the papers in the country, and
especially in the weekly papers in the
South. OF course it is impossible for
such a paper as THE ADVERTISER to
give the proceedings in detail, but the
people of this State should be informed
that according to their Owl confession
the magnates of the New York Life
Company paid $50, 600 last year to the
Republican campaign fund, and that
they paid in 1896 and 1900 equal sums
to bring about the defeat of TIE Demo
cratic candidate.
1t seems to be we'll understood that
some companies have been making sub
scriptions to the Democratic campaign
funds as we'll and the protest is not be-
cause the subscriptions were made To
the Republicans, but because they were
made to any political party.
To those Of us in Laurens County
who have bought life insurance policies
and expected to get protection for
u wives and children it comes
with a shock that the money has in
part been stolen by the officials whom
WI have trusted to be spent to promote
the political fortunes of the Roosevelts
and the Roosevelt gang.
OF course the contributions to politi-
cat aNksoy x,hila fhox- I.., L1nn rtoo
most impudent kinds of corruption in
dulged, have not necessarily been the
most dangerous and most important. 1t
seems that many sorts of questionable
devices have been utilized by the mag
mates through which some of them
have ~feathered their own nests. The
suggestion has been made hat the
South Carolina policy holders of all
these big companies form state organ
izations with a view of obtaining some
voice in the management of their prop
eyty, and if these associations should
be formed we hope that policy holders
in Laurens will cooperate in the effort.
Meanwhile, it is not to be understood
that all the life insurance companies
have been corrupted, and there are a
number of the smaller concerns which
are doubtless honest and safe as we'll.
OF course the big concerns are still
safe.
100 Years Old.
A frame house can be kept in good
order for a 100 years, if painted with
the L. g. M. Paint about once in ten
to fifteen years. This is because the
l.. g. M. Zinc hardens the l.. e. M.
White Lead, and gives the paint extra
ordinary life. 1t also makes it cover
an enormous surface, so that four gall
Ions linseed oil will paint a moderate
sized house.
Actual cost when ready for use about
$1.20 per gallon.

Joshua w. Ashley, member of the
Legislature from Anderson County, in
a letter to the Anderson Daily Mai
discusses the recent killing of Jim
Moore and the subsequent ''lynching"
of his slayer by a mob of white citizens
near Honea Path. He regrets that his
name has been used in connections with
the affair but he frankly admits that
he stated on the streets of Honea Path
the next day that the negro deserved
death at the hands of the mob, that
''they had done right" He says it was
all right and that any white man who
would interfere try to prevent a lynch
ing in such a case as that, was on a
level with the negro. Who put Mr..
Ashley's mouth in the affair but him
self? Well may The Mail '.regret that
a member of the Legislature from An
derson county should have written such
a letter.

Methods Ia the Navles Of the TWO
Countries contrasted.

London Chronicle,l
The nayies of France and England
have scarcely met for 40 years, and
for the past 20 poIiteness rather than
intimacy has marked their inter.
course. Now that the curtain of re-
serve is Withdrawn 1t is interesting
to contrast the methods Of the two
services,
Discipline in both fleets exist sole
ly for the nation, so that in the day
Of battle the will of the commander
may be effective. stlll as education
and knowledge spread, discipline may
be maintained even when old, hard
coerclve methods are relaxed, In the
English fleet nobody may smoke ex,
cept when permitted. In the French
fleet anybody may smoke except when
forbidden.
The British code of punlshments
makes crimes of trifing infractions of
uniform regulations. French seamen
are neither SO smart nor so alert as
ours, but, being spared certain vexa-
tious rules, are conscious of retain
ing individuality. Has not the time
come to reconsider the details Of our
code of discipline? To punish grown
men by putting them in corner for
hours as punishment for tiny errors
of dress lmperceptible to landsmen is
doubtful policy, Punishment of boys
by flogging may or may not be neces.
sary, but 1t is contrary to reason to
make criminals of adults for acts
which do not affect the fighting eff
cheney of ships.
The frst thing that strikes me in
connection with the administration Of
the French navy is the rigid centrali.
zation, the overlapping OF authorities
and the effect of political struggles on
the executive. Without the smallest
pretension or wish to criticise French
methods, cannot but think that in
such a matter as gunnery-the ap.
pointment of a military officer at
headquarters to guide and control ma,
val gunnery-is certain to cause fric.
ton, laxity, and deterioration, al.
though the French guns are as good,
or better, than the best Germany pro-.
duces.
AT all events, II the information civ,
en- me is correct, French target prac.
tice at long distances does not even
attempt the achievement Of results
which are already accepted as mat.
tiers of course in the royal navy. This
is the more remarkable. as the French
have invariably been the pioneers of
almost every improvement in the ma.
teriai side of naval development. Ship
armor, breech.loadiing guns, subma-
rines, abolition of masts and sails,
etc, are instances OF French alert.
