In an advertisement appearing in The
State of last Sunday, is the following
relative to MIR. John Y. Darlington, of
Laurens, organizer of the Sterling
Casualty Co.:
"SOme months ago Mr.. John Y. Gar
lington, a progressive, successful in

such a company would do a good bus
mess in the South if organized on a
big scale, armed to compete with the
larger companies of this kind from the
North and East. With statistics in
hand to show that companies of this
kind make money for their stockhold-
ers, Mr.. Darlington looked about for
cooperation, He found it here in Co

Clark, president of the Carolina Ma

of the Palmetto bank, and Mr.. Thos. s..
Bryan, president of the r. L.. Bryan

How Do You Stand 1
BY H. CLYDE GODFREY
-

'
AS most people are aware there will
soon be an election held in this dear ole
county of Laurens. This election will
be to decide whether or not the sale OF
liquor shall be continued. How do you
stand on this question? Are you for OIL
against this dreadi~S evil which is year
ly, yea daily, sinking thousands into
shame and misery and at last into per-
dition? Consider these questions care
fully and decide on the side of right,
for when you come to die and stand al
the bar of God" your soul will be in
special concern about that election back
in old Laurens county and how you
acted there. If you voted right JOY
and peace will be yours, if you lived
Christ like also. If yog voted wrong
doubtless pain and woe will be youl
portion ~eternally. Only true Christians
go to heaven. Can a mar hold up fol-
the DEVILS own institution and be a true
Christian? | think not. Christians,
pray, pray often, for "the prayer of q
righteous man availeth much"
| want to bring to your mind a scene.
Out in the future | see a great multi
tude gathered around a throne. On the
throne | see a king as he sits in judg-
mcnt. Behold him now as he separates
the multitude into two vast throngs,
one on his right hand, the other on his
left. Let us look for a moment at the
throng on the right. See how their
faces beam with joy and how they
shout as the King bids them enter His
fair palace. Now let us take a glance
at that throng on the left. Behold how
sad are their countenances and how aw-
full is their wall as the King bids them
depart forever from His presence,
''for," saith He, 81 know you not
AS you see | have pictured a scene
that will come to pass in the great
judgment day. The judge is Christ,
The throng on the right are the re.
deemed who have lived true Christians
i'm this present world. The throng on
the left are the lost who in the world
lived ungodly and followed their own
devices and opinions. You will be pres
ent when this scene m to pass in
reality and it depends entirely upon
how you act and live in this present
time and world how it will be with yor
that day. We are told in Gods wore
''that if we offend the law in one place
we are guilty of ALL" Therefore be
sure you decide right in reference tc
this liquor questian. Live a Christian
life and be ready to meet the Lore
