FOR GOVERNOR IN 1910.

Dealing with questions of future date
and discussing political situations of two
years hence are bound to contain Gle
ments of uncertainty, ana opinions eX-
pressed now regarding these future
conditions are subject to alteration.
But if we read Alright the signs of the
times and correctly interpret the vote
of the State we say confidently that
Hon. G. c. Feathcrstone is the logical
candidate for governor in 1910.
We have heard it that Hon. Richard
|. Manning is this "logical candidate, ;"
but we fail to see the logic. While
there is not a cleaner man in the State,
very few ADLER, none more upright and
more entitled 20 the respect and conf
dence of the people than Mir. Manning,
it is nevertheless fact that he is a
State dispcnsary advocate, and the peo-
pie have said they want none such.
There are those who might say that the
whiskey question will not be an issue
and that Mr.. Manning should be elected
on his merits aside from the whiskcy
issue. We earnestly contend that the
whiskcy question is an issue and will be
two years from now. 1t should bc-sct-
tied and settled Alright
Mr.. Fcatherstone is the strongest
prohibition candidate that could be put
forward This year, in view of Mr..
Ansel's platform, seeing that it was a
forward move toward the desired end,
and in face of the fact that Mr.. An
sells clean administration should be en-
dorsed, Mr.. Featherstone stepped aside
until two years hence. We have no in
timation of his plans whatever; these
are our ideas and we cannot but see
that he is the logical candidatcfor 1910.

Newsy Notes From Clinton.

Clinton, August 25.-On Tuesday
evening Miss Ola Young charmingly
entertained the Cecillian Music Club at
her beautiful home on South Broad
street The large reception hall and
drawing room were thrown together
for the occasion and were tastefully
decorated with flowers and ferns.
Beautiful hand-painted cards tied with
pink and green, the club colors were
handed to the guests and merry
guessing contest followed. The prize,
a large toy piano, was won by Mr.. Hugh
Leaman. The guests were then invited
into the dining where the color
scheme was effectively carried out.
Five delicious courses were by Misses
Evie Stands and Amy Copeland. Punch
was served during the evening on the
spacious veranda. The guests were
Misses jamie Kennedy, Essie Young,
Bera Bailey, Frances Copeland, Mabel
Sumerel, Maude Sumerel, Pearl Hays,
Orrah Bess Little, Irene Little; Messrs.
Hugh Simpson, Hugh Leaman, Cyrus
Bailey, Robert Owens, Clair Hays,
Owens Copeland, John Henry, John
Young and Reese Young.
Mrs. Geo. Ellis delightfully."- enter
tanned quite a number of her friends on
Thursday morning in honor of her
sister, Mrs. Lyon, of Savannah. Mrs.
Ellis has new home on Calvert avenue
which was beautifully decorated in
ferns and palms. Misses Doris Lyon
and Maude Ellis passed dainty tavors
made of chamois needle books, hand
painted in nasturtiums and the score
was kept by putting pins in the books.
Some of the ladies played nations and
the others did fancy work. Mrs. Ed
Adair won the prize in the nation con-
test, a embroidered bag. Mrs.
w. j. Bailey won the BOBBY prize

Ellis and Daisy Lyon.

MIR. MOORE OFFERS
SOME SUGGESTIONS.

Mr.. Editor: The recent floods have
caused untold loss of property by way
of crops being damaged and the wash
ing away of lands, but any one can
easily see that the amount of damage
done the county and public at large by
the loss of bridges will run up intu
thousands of dollars even in 4iaurens
county and it will take all the money at
the county's command to replace even
a part of these, the ones needed worst
and common sense teaches us that if
the roads are left mworkcd until the
county can have them worked they will
become positively impassablc, and it
seems to me that the people of the
county could not display their spirit of
patriotism in any better way than by
working the roads in their respective
neighborhoods and donating their labor
to the county, for it is very evident
fact that the people must have roads
over which they can travel to get to
and from markets. Then another very
great advantage to the rural public will
be the matter of receiving thcir mails,
for if the roads are not kept in fairly
good condition the postonicc authorities
will stop rural delivery and this will
place the country people in a very dis
advantageous position.
Every person in the county can work
one day on the public highway ami do
an untold amount of good and not miss
the time from his regular pursuits.
This mas already been started in Mt.
Pleasant ncighborhood, several miles of
road already having been worked. So
let the people turn out and work the
roads and help not only themselves but
the public in general.

Mr.. ANSEL'S REELECTION.

Governor Martin f. Ansel has been
reelected by handsome majority; not
so great, however, as it should have
been considering the man who opposed
him. For two years more South Caro-
lima will enjoy safe, sane and business
like administration. While he is not a
showy executive, and does not keep his
name and acts blazing before the pco-
pie, there is no question as to the wis
dom and business judgment that char
acterizes his execution of the matters
of State; neither is there any great
flaw in his past administration nor any
act for which he could be severely criti-
cised. He has made an excellent gov
ernor and his future policies will be as
formerly.
The significance of Mr.. Ansel's re-
election may be termed as another de-
feat for the -Quitc-dcad State dis
pensary forces; whether or not they
arc completely vanqushed we cannot
say. 1t means an endorsement of the
past administration; it means that the
people are even ready for another step
toward prohibition as set forth in Mr..
Anscls present platform. Whether or
not the Legislature will carry out the
recommendations Of the governor is be-
yond us to tell; certain it is that two
of Laurcns county's representatives,
Mcssrs. Boyd and lrby, do not favor
the reverse local option law Maybe
the General Assembly will carry out
the governors plans, said plans having
been endorsed by the people, and maybe
they will not. BE that as it may, the
reelection of Mr.. Anscl means for
ward move toward State prohibition, an
end promised us some fourteen or ff-
teen years ago If the peoples vote
means anything the Legislature should
consider these facts. This whiskcy
question has been before us for Il long
time now; to settle it is not impossible
and it should be disposed Of at an carly
day There is solution

thinking citizens is directed to Mr..
Moore's ideas. He suggests that every.
body, whites and blacks, turn out and
help build up the wasted roads.
1t is well that Laurens has such
capable official as Supervisor Humbert,
upon whose shoulders the burden of the
county work must rest. The matter is
up to him, but suggestions are in order
since the entire public is concerned. If
Mr.. Moore's suggestion is carried out
it must be done under the direction of
the supervisor to be practicable. Fur
ther, those who are unable to contribute
actual manual assistance should send
substitute-hi hand.
In our opinion the idea expressed by
Mr.. Moore, if carried out, will serve
only one good purpose, namely: the
speedy repair of damages, which is by
no means small matter The perma-
nent work that ought to be done will
take time and must be directed person
ally by the supervisor. We think the
issue of bonds is the only method by
which the necessary funds can be raised
and the work executed. This will take
time, too much time to be lost just now;
the roads are in an unusually bad con-
dition, the stream crossings worse, and
if something is not done at once the
government will take the matter up
with the possibility Of the rural mail
service being discontinued on some of
the roads. So Mr.. Moore's suggestion
will serve for immediate relief, but the
issuing of bonds will be necessary for
the permanent work.
Our county faces serious situation,
one demanding the careful thought and
consideration of all her citizens. Let
the matter be taken under advisement
and let us work harmoniously for the
rebuilding of our wrecked property.
We have not ascertained the supervi-
sor's plans, but we are assured he will
find the cooperation of all the people a
necessity in the task that has fallen to
his lot. We believe, further, that he
will suggest the bond issue; if so, we
hope the people will meet it with their
approval. Mr.. Humbert is equal to the
occasion, but he cannot carry out his
plans, whatever they may be, without
the help of the people.

There are some who seem inclined to
think newspaper ought not to tell
things that will hurt somebody's feel

understand our position right now.
Doubtless they have gathered az much
from our policy during the past election,
but we state it thus: When public
speaker makes any unusual statement
that is of vital interest to the public he
may expect to be quoted; when any act
that pertains to the public welfare is
committed The Advertiser has right
to take note of it. A newspaper is

10. 1t has maintained the highest tar.
