Girls Trunks Burned.

A special from Rock Hill Wednesday
morning to The News and Courier says: {:
About one hundred trunks belonging
to Winthrop students who were pre-.
pared to leave for home were burned at
the railroad station here this morning
shortly before | o'clock after having
been loaded into special baggage car.
While the car was being loaded a lamp
on the inside exploded and before the
firemen reached the scene the damage
had been done. The top of the car was
almost entirely destroyed and all the
baggage practically ruined. The car
contained between nincty-fve and a
hundred trunks and number of grips
and packing cases, the property of STU
dents going to Columbia or points be-
yond. The loss is estimated at about
$l2, 900, the damage to the car amount
ing to about $1,000, and the railroad
company being liable for 500 on each
trunk

New Stables Building.

Work OH the new sales and livery
stables building Of Messrs. j. f. Hicks
& Son, has been begun and is now rap
idly progressing. At present this firm
is doing business in their frame build
ing on South Harper street, but this
being inadequate for the accommoda-
ton of as much stock as is desired
and required for their growing bust
ness, the proprietors decided to erect a
new, modern brick stable on South
street, just around the corner from the
old stand. This is an excellent site for
tbc stables and the new building will be
quite an addition to the number OF
new structures h0W in the course of
erection.

About Clerks,

"Thc fellow who never does any more
than he gets paid for never gets paid
for any more than he does"
And that's the truth.
That clerk who is so dead particular
about quitting. the minute the clock
strikes need not worry about how he
will spend his money when he gets to
be boss.
The clerk who isn't willing to keep
his stock shined up and his goods in APP
ple-pie order, who isn't "awake good"
until he's had "dope" and who can t
liven up until he's seen the sporting
page, needn't bother himself so much
about how much pay he'll be getting as
how long he'll be getting it. Occa-
sionally even the "old man" sees
through thing. And he hates a ma
ture fake.

Farmers, Hold Your Cotton.

President Harris, of the State Far
mers Union, has issued the following
circular to the 25, 900 members of the
order in this State
Cotton has advanced $3.50 per bale
in ten days and if we will hold to it,
and not be influenced to SELL it will in
the next ten days make the same ad-
vance and the minimum will be reach
eh Remember the 1907 crop is 4,5OO,
600 bales short. This makes cotton
scarce, not enough for consumption.
Crop conditions the lowest in twenty
years.
'On the oath, Texas and Oklahoma
were visited by the most destructive
flood that has ever been known.
"On May 10th, our national president,
G. S. Barrett, issued circular letter,
asking the union men to plow up 10 per
cent. of the cotton planted and put it
in food crops. One million acres has
been reported plowed up. This looks as
if the boys mean business and will
stand behind their guns.
''Do not listen to those who tell you
to sell, it is going lower, when they
know it will go upward by June
''Do not forget that corn is $11O per
bushel and plenty Of time to plant yet.
Well filled corn cribs and smoke houses
will always make cotton bring the
minimum price.

Traynham Guards Working Hard.

From the activities of the local COM
pany of the State militia, one readily
realizes that it intends to be the best
drilled, all-round finest company of\the
lst regiment at the Chcamauga en-
campment this summer. Rev. w. E.
Calender, chaplain of the company, re-
marked Friday afternoon that it was
his firm belief that the Laurens boys
would show up better than any other
company at Chicamauga, "for" said he
''they are working like Trojans and
know how to drill"
Besides the regular marching ard
drill with arms, the company has been
for some weeks practicing on every
Thursday afternoon the target shooting
and the 'eXtended order" The way
they have been running through those
woods, jumping bitches and climbing
hills on the practice grounds in the
suburbs is calculated to train them in
the manoeuvres that will be executed
at the general encampment. Captain
Babb states that his company has
already reached remarkable degree
of proficiency in this work.
At meeting Thursday afternoon
Mr.. j. l.. M. Irby was elected second
lieutenant vice Mr. M. l.. Nash, re-
signed. The company has full corps
of efficient officers and is just cause for
pride on the part of Laurens people.

Religion in Politics.

This topic is being much discussed by
our people just now, and the following
editorial from the Newberry Observer
is one of real merit and interest
1t is strange idea some people have
against the "mixing of religion and
politics.
The foundation of the idea was a
good one-the separation of church and
state; so that the church can have no
authority to control a mans political
opinions or actions. 1t never was in
tended that religion should be kept out
of politics, or that religious men should
keep silent on political questions and
turn over the whole business of run
ming the state to the irreligious.
If religion means anything, and the
history of the ages proves that it does
mean a great DEAL then the more there
is Of it in politics the better it is for
politics.
1t is the highest absurdity to require
public officers to take an oath $50 help
Jne God" to put on the coin of the
Tcalm 'ln God we trust" to debar in
iidels from holding offices, and then
say that we must not "mix religion
and politics."
There should be no objection made to
mixing politics and religion" if the
mixing" did not have tendency to
break Up the schemes of the liquor
sellers and the grafters and others who
want to fatten off the weaknesses and
follies and crimes Of their fellowmen.
Chairman Boyden of the anti-prohi-
tion party of North Carolina, on Tues
day night, when it looked as if prohibi-
tion had failed issued a statement in
which he said: "The vote indicates that
the people Of North Carolina are against
the mixing of religion with politics. "
This is drawing the line pretty clearly
and is an unconscious tribute to rel-
gion, in that he ascribes to it the at
tempt to better the condition of the
people; and it is an unconscious tribute
to the people of North Carolina, in that
it attributes the voting out of liquor to
religious convictions.
Members of churches who contend
for barrooms and for dispensaries or
other means of selling liquor must find
some embarrassment in the classifica-
tion that is made by Mr.. Boyden, and
in the alignment with which they find
themselves arrayed.
AS life becomes more and more tense
fnly Oh
crystalize, all including politicians must
take their stand on one side or the
other of moral questions, in politics as
well as in everything else. The day is
passed for straddlers. 1t is one side or
the other for everybody.

COAL SHORTAGE WILL
SOON BE RELIEVED
Local Dealers Now Look for an Abundance by

Winnemucca is confronted with a
serious coal famine. For the past week
or two all the coal dealers have been
outstanding their limited supplies and
filing reduced orders for their eusto
mers, in an effort to keep them all GO
ing until orders placed some time ago
are received. The people, howeye., !,
have taken the matter philosophicaliy
and have eked out their scanty sup
plies to the farthest limit. Most of our
residents have been in the habit Of
going without fires during the middle
of the day, only lighting up to prepare
meals. Fortunately the weather has
remained fine or there would,have been
considerable actual suffering. In order
that it might give its readers definite
information as to when they may be
able to replenish their stocks, the
Silver State News interviewed the lead
ing coal merchants of the town, with
the following result

ounce of coal Thursday For several
deys we had been cutting our customers
down to single sack. We placed
orders with the mines early enough to

were out. but for some reason there
has been a delay in shipment. The sit
uation became so acute that the first
of the week we took the matter up
with the railway officials and received
wire from Superintendent Manson
that the Southern Pacific would fur
nish ears if the mines were prepared t.
supply the coal. On the 10Th l wrote
to the Independent Coal 4 Coke Co.,
at Salt Lake, explaining the situation,
and received an answer by return mail
that they had instructed the superin-
tendent of their mine to ship us three
carloads at once. If this was done,
we may look for relief about the first
of the month.

CLEARING sTUBBI.E FIELDS
OF THE NORTHWEsT

A problem of considerable import
ance in western Washington and Ore
gon has to do with what is called ssthe
lumbermen 3 stubble feld'' tracts,
from which the timber has been cut
and which, though desirable for agri-
culture, can be clearend of stumps only
at a cost greater than the value Of the
land for agricultural purposes. Since
the lumbermen harvested their wood
crop these lands have remained unpro-
ductive, for fires have prevented forest
reproduction.
1t has been suggested that saving
can be made in the cost Of pulling the
stumps if the stumps Of Douglas FIR are
used by distillation for the production
of turpentine, tar, charcoal, and other
products. There is no question but
what fir stumps can be used in this
way, but the saving made, according to
the roungh estimates which are aloue
possible under the circumstances, would
hardly exceed from one-tenth to one
fifth of the cost of clearing at present,
which ranges from $3.50 to $225 per
acre. In few cases, where the lana
was not so heavily timbered, the ex-
pense of clearing is q little less.
1t looks as if the lumbermen's 3 stub
BILE field can be brought economically
under the plow only by the contrivance
of some improved method for handling
the stumps, which are too large for
the regulation stump puller and are
now removed by dynamite and the
donkey engines.
