African Methodist Conference.

The African Methodist Episcopal
Conference, which convened with Bethel
church last Wednesday morning, adj
Journed Sunday night, after the read
ing of the appointments for another
year which were made by Bishop Cop
pin, who presided over the deliberations
of the sessions. The Conference Sc
lected Abbeville for next annual meet
ing place.
The election of eleven clerical dele
gates from this Conference excited
great interest, and the balloting for
these representatives engaged Confer
ence through two sessions.
A notable feature Of the sessions was
the financial report submitted. 1t
showed the total collections for the
year from all sources to have been
$8,998.42. Of this amount So, 1913. AZ
goes to educational purposes, which
was raised during Conference week.

neighboring counties which have abol-
ished dispensaries, all right; but that
is q low ambition. The less we say
about it the better; it isn't a very re-
spectacle thing to admit. A d~ispensary
run to sell whisky to people whose coun-
ties have banished them is, in morals,
no better than a blind tiger, because it
aids these other counties people to
eyade the law. Our local dis~pensaries,
however. are not run with this design.
The sale to outsiders is incidental. We
couldn't prevent it if we would, but
the sales to outsiders should not be an
argument for keeping the liquor shops.
If anything, it is an argument to abol-
ish them. We do not wish to lead our
brothers astray.
Finally, THE ADVERTISER is not es-
pecial'y interested in this matter.
There is something to be said on both
sides of the question. We don't think
anything less of a man who votes for
county dispensaries in Laurens. The
grog-shops CHATS as good a name as
any, and just as clean and nice as dis
pensary) should be kept, if the people
want them, because if they want them
the prohibition law would certainly not
be enforced. Our preference for pro.
hibition rests wholly upon the belief
that public sentiment is sufficiently
strong in its favor to enforce prohibi-
ton fairly well in Laurens county.

AN EXPANDING SENATOR.

Senator Latimer has intimated that
the Democrats should not nominate Mr..
Bryan. This does credit both to the
sagacity and to the courage Of Senator
Latimer.
Senator Latimer has been showing
up pretty well lately. We have been
told that he made capital speeches at
the drainage convention in Baltimore,
last week, and created a fine impress
sion.
We may be compelled to modify our
former estimate that Laurens county
contains five hundred men as we'll quail
fled for United States Senator as the
Sage Of Bolton, and to make it two
hundred.
Mr.. o. B. Martin, though, will give
the Anderson Senator a tight race.
Mr.. Martin is one Of the most annoying
candidates to his opponents ever seer
in the politics of South Carolina.

LIQUOR IN NORWAY.
Laws by Which the Sale of Intoxicant
Ia Centralized

Lave by Which the Sale of Intoxicants
10 Controlled.
The Samlag system in Norway gives
power to municipalities to grant all
the retail spirit licenses which it deems
necessary to a company which would
bind itself to carry on the traffic In the
interests Of the community, with a
fixed annual return Of not more than
8 per cent on It's paid up capital. In
establishing the system the question
Of compensation does not appear to
have presented much difficulty. When
the Samlag was introduced two kinds
OF licenses were In eXistence-nrst,
those granted annually or for a term
not exceeding five years, and, second,
privileged licenses, granted for the life
Of the licensee. In the case of the first
no compensation whatever was paid to
those dispossessed Of their licenses.
In regard to the latter compensation
was granted In the form Of an annuity
equal to the average yearly profits for
the three years preceding the suppress
sion Of the license.
With these provisions the aims and
principles Of the Samlag are summa
rized as follows: The elimination Of
private profit and securing the monop-
oily value for the public, insuring high
est quality Of liquors sold, the reduc-
ton Of the number of licenses, the
easy enforcement Of the law, the de-
struction Of the power Of the spirit
trade and the furtherance Of all pro-
gressive measures Of reform. - New

Mr.. JENKINS HEADQUARTERS.

Laurens is especially fortunate in be-
ing selected by Mr.. j. M. Jenkins, spe-
cial agent of the u. S. government, as
his headquarters. In its farming oper-
ations this county is one of the most
progressive in the State, and this ar
rangement will afford the farmers the
greatest facility for improvement.
The tests" that will be carried on
under the supervision Of Mr.. Jenkins
will not be in the nature of "~experi-
ments." The experiments have already
been made by the government, and
this demonstration work is intended as
an object lesson for the farmer. Very
few farmers have any respect for
book farming" They say it looks
mighty we'll on paper, but it won't
"pan out" As the agent Of the gov
eminent, Mr.. Jenkins will show to the
farmer and to his observing neighbor
that it will "pan out" to their advant>
are.

TYBURN TREE.
Lord Ferrors' Tragic Journey to tho
Famous Old GalIows.

@S's y 0i'o'o tIaSiO SodTUCy 10 THO
Famous Old GaiIows.
Park lane was Tyburn lane, and It
seems as if the gallows-described in
an old document as ~movable-at one
time stood at It's east corner. 1t was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hung in 1850 for numbering his serv-
ant. Horace Walpole's words paint
the picture we'll: "He shamed heroes.
He bore the solemnity Of q pompous
and tedious procession of above two
hours from the Tower to Tyburn with
as much tranquility as If he were only
going to his own burial, not to his own
execution And when one of the
dragons Of the procession was thrown
from his horse Lord Ferrers expressed
much concern and said, II hope there
will be no death today but NINE"
On went the procession, with n mob
about it sufficient to make its progress
slow and laborious. Small wonder that
the age Of Thackeray, with Thack-
eray's help, set up it's scaffolds within
four high walls. Asking for drink,
Lord Ferrers was refused, for, said the
sheriff, late regulations enjoined him
not to let prisoners drink while pass
Ing from the place Of Imprisonment to
that Of execution, great in~decencies
having been committed by the drunk
enness Of the criminals In the hour Of
execution. "And though" said he, "my
lord, l might think myself excusable
in overlooking this order out Of regard
to your lordship's rank, yet there is an
other reason, which, l am sure, will
weigh with you-your lordship Is SEN
sible of the greatness Of the crowd;
we must draw up at some tavern; the
confluence would be SO great that 1t
would delay the expedition which
your lordship seems SO much to de-
sire" But decency-so often paraded
by those who outrage it-ended with
the murderer's death. 1.-THE execution
ers fought for the rope, and the one
who lost 1t cried-the greatest tragedy,
to his thinking, Of the day!"-London

STAGE FRIGHT.
Actors Have Been Known to Die From
the MaIady.

Actors Have Been Known to Die From
the MaIady.
Perhaps the most terrible malady
which can attack the actor in the
course Of his performance In the Pc
culiar disease known as stage fright.
Through Its evil effects strong men and
women have been known to faint,
break down and do many other queer
things, and there are even on record
several cases Of people who have died
through this horrible seizure.
Some years ago q young novice who
was to appear for the first time ar
rived at the theater very white and
shaky. Brandy being given him, he
appeared slightly better, but no sooner
had he set his foot on the stage than
he clapped his hand to his heart, with
a low cry, and fell down dead. The
overwhelming sensation induced by
stage fright had attacked his heart,
and his theatrical career ended thus
even at its beginning.
Quite as CHASTITY was the case of the
young amateur actress who, strangely
enough, had never experienced stage
fright when playing with her fellow
amateurs, but who was seized with the
attack on making her first professional
appearance. She went through tho
scene aided by the prompter, her eyes
glazed, her hands rigid, and when the
exit came 1t proved her exit from life's
stage as we'll as the mimic boards, for
she staggered to her dressing room and
fell into a comatose state, from which
she never recovered.
Perhaps, however, the most peculiar
Instance OF all was that of tho veteran
performer who had zone through thirty
years Of stage work without experience
Ing this malady. One night, however,
he confded to q fellow player that q
quite unaccountable had
suddenly taken hold Of him and that he
did not think he could ever act again.
His comrade laughed at the notion
and urged him to go on, as usual, but
his astonishment may well be concelv-
ed when the poor old player went on
the stage and, after making several
vain efforts to speak, foil back and ex-
pired. The doctor who made the post
mortem examination stated that death
was due to failure Of the hearts action,
evidently induced by the presence Of
an attack Of stage fright.-Pearson's

a FLOATING SNAIL.
Peculiar Ways Of This Wonderful Lit

Peculiar Ways Of This Wonderful Lit
- tie Creature.
There is a small snail which is 80
fond of the sea that It never come. to
land, and 1t builds such a capital boat
for itself and its eggs that while large
ships are sinking and steamers are I'M
able to face the storm it losses about
in perfect safety.
The little snail Is Of a violet color
and is therefore called ianthina. 1t
has a small shell, and there projects
from the upper part Of the body a long,
tonguelike piece Of flesh. This Is the
raft, and it is built upon most scien-
tifc principles, for 1t has compart-
ments in 1t for air. 1t is broad and
the air compartments are underneath,
SO that 1t cannot capsize.
Moreover, the snail knows how to
stow away Its cargo, for the oldest
eggs and those which hatch the soon
est are placed in the center and the
lightest and newest on the sides Of the
raft. The ianthina fills its own air
compartments by getting n globule OF
air underneath Its head. The body is
then curved downward beneath the
raft, and, the head being tilted on one
side, the air rushes up and fills the
spaces. 1t feeds on a beautiful little
jellyfsh, which has a fiat, raftlike
form with a pretty little sail upon II,
and they congregate in multitudes
when the sea Is calm.
Sometimes specimens are washed
upon the northwestern coast OF France,
and when they are handled they give
out q violet dye.
