FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW.

Miss Nethcrsole has made a public
declaration that she has made a mistake
IN sacrificing wlfehood and motherhood 70
art. and those who know Of the one ro-
nance in her life and its finish are sit
ting in judgment on her because she had
her chance and threw II away Careful
woman is she II there has been but one
mistake in her life. II she has turned her
back upon one opportunity only. Most
Of us can look back upon a series ol
mistakes and remember chances In num-
bers at which we turned up our nos s.
Miss Nethersole IS a woman OF strong
character. and II fate had made her a
mother she would have been a good one.
She has been biz spoiled by adoring
friends. who have shielded her from dis
agreeables as we'll as human nature was
able, and a husband would have 70 do
all that If he wanted happiness. Person
ally I believe that she made the only
choice In harmony with her naturc-shc
loves her art. and II would be difficult
to uproot that affection and replace 1t
with another.
I have never regarded her In the ranks
Of happy women. She Is eternally striv-
ing for happiness, because she believes
it the best thing In life. and she misses
IL because of her endeavOr. A short time
ago she met a friend who had settled
down TO domestic life since their last
meeting. and despite the fact that there
were hundreds Of curious eyes watching
the scene, the actress asked the familiar
question, the one uppermost in her mind
Are you happy. really happy" The
laughing face grew serious as she search
ed the eyes in the face she had clasped
In her hands and brought close to her
own. That was all she cared to know
apparently. I am very fond OF the clever
English actress, and I believe that she
is fulfilling her destiny. on the stage and
Off. as well.
She has always felt deep interest in
unfortunate members Of her own sex.
The good she does in private life does
not get into print. but It is unceasing
and as absorbing as any work should be.
I consider It the highest tribute to her
character that women who have an on
portunity to know her thoroughly remain
loyal through years of intimacy and years
OF separation.
The artistic temperament cannot be
gauged by ordinary standards. and those
who care TO live on harmonious terms
with artists in any line must accept the
conditions. Matter-Of-fact husbands can
never do It, and marrying a man of her
own temperament would be dangerous
experiment. I can scarcely picture Miss
Nethersole in the prosaic role Of a domes-
tic heroine. but possibly I underrate tai
ents 1t might be the crowning success
OF her brilliant career. She would GER
tainly attempt It if she became convinced
that her happiness lay in that direction.
I hope her regret IS merely a mood OF
the moment, as I believe 1t to be.

MIR. Il. Y. M'QUOWN'S
VISIT TO BROTHER.

Laurens was honorcd Monday by a
visit from MIR. f.. Y. McQuown, of Gin
ton, who has just returned from trip
to sec his brother, Mr. j. M. McOuown.
in Columbus, Miss. This was the first
zine the brothers have met in twenty
two years, Mr.. j. M. McQuown having
visited here then. Numbers of people
III Laurcns county enjoy the friendship
OF or acquaintance with Mr.. McOuown
especially the readers of The Advcr-
tlscr, for many years he being rcgu-
lar contributor to the columns of this
paper under the pen name of "Slocum
Gibson" While in the city Monday he
talked very interestingly Of his trip to
Mississippi and the genuine pleasure Of
the visit to his brother.
"lt was the greatest time of my
life, - said he. "To say that cniovcd
myself does not express it at all; it
was simply grand and was happy
every minute of my time. My brother
and | were both in the war, although
not in the same company or even the
same regiment, he enlisting in Company

ent home just forty-two years ago and
engaged in the manufacture of wagons,
buggcs etc, in which business he has
made quite a success and is now well
fixed SO far as this worlds goods is con
ccrncd. Needless to say that he did all
man could do to make me enjoy my
stay with him; he was host royal
Continuing the narration Of his visit,
MIR. McQuown said that the greatest
day of his life was Thursday, the 18th
of August, when he witnessed sham
battle between parts Of the United
States troops, then in camp near the
city of Columbus. "But," said he,
"thc battle was not the greatest feat
urc of the day; it was the banquet ten
dcrcd the old Confederate soldiers at 9
O'Clock after the battle was over. There
were ninety four of us old soldiers there
and have never in my life sat down to
such spread as was ours that day;
but the best Of all was that we were
served by the officers of the United
States army. They waited on us.
shall never forget that day SO long as |
live"
H., McQuown says that the crops out
in Mississippi are not very promising,
the corn being quite poor and the cot
ton suffering from the extremely wet
weather. The writer was much inter
Cstcd in the conversation with Mr.
McQuown even when it turned to poll
ties and the plain-spokcn, honest old
veteran differed widely with him on
some questions and even ccnsurcd him
for some Of his views. But the differ
cncc of opinion did not prevent them
becoming friends and will not likely dc
stroy thc pleasant acquaintance newly
made. MIR. McQuown is reader and Il
strong friend Of The Advertiser; he
did not take his departure before speak
