PROHIBITIONISTS BELIEVE IN
HIM.

The differences between the Column
bia State and supporters of Mr.. Feath-
erstone as to the consistency of the
latter's advocacy Of prohibition are
probably irreconcilable. Voters who
regard that local option as between
prohibition and county d:spensaTies
(Which is a poor sort of local option)
is of the first Importance will not sup
port Featherstone.
Presumably the prohibitionists will
not allow a local option newspaper
to decide for them the fitness of a
prohibition candidate. If the prohi-
bitionists are satisfied with Feather
stones record they will support him
or, at least. they will not leave the
selection of their candidate to their
local option opponents. Presumably
The State would, so long as respecta-
BILE local option candidate were offer
ing, prefer him TO all prohibition can
didates. whether consistent or not
q position entirely tenable and consis-
tent. But The State cannot expect to
NIOOSG Illt CdluIudlt IOl
the prohibitonists. If the prohibi-
tionists accept Featherstone. III their
faith i'm him is unshaken. the only
thing left to do Is to vote for him. II
Featherstone be defeated he will owe
his defeat to the lack of enough prohi-
bition voters to elect him and not to
any question about consistency. The
prohibitionists know Featherstone and
if we are not mistaken. believe in him
In 1892 the Democrats carried the
State for prohibition. From 1892 to
1907 the majority OF the prohibitions
lists and local optionists worked to
overthrow the State dispensary, final
ly succeeding. In the last two legis-
latures the lower house. the popular
body, has voted for prohibition Thir-
ty-seven of the 43 counties are for
prohibition and five of the six dispen-
sary counties voted wet" by an ag-
gregate majority of about one thous-
and. South Carolina is surrounded
by prohibition States. Most of the
South has prohibition. Every sign
points to prohibition victory in
South Carolina this year. Friends and
opponents alike practically concede
Featherstone TO be the leading prohi-
bition candidate In The Advertisers
opinion, the election OF Featherstone
is practically assured Unless there
has been revolution in public senti-
ment. of which no signs are apparent.
his defeat is impossible. Unless 10000
or $4,000 voters who have been prohi-
bitionists have been converted to
county option, limited to dispensaries
and prohibition. Featherstone is as
good as elected. He ought to be elect
ed because he is the soundest, strong
est, most capable man in the race
that Is why The Advertiser supports
him.

DIRTY POLITICS.

An unsigned dodger is being cir
culated by the opponents of C. c.
Featherstone in different sections of
the State refecting on his standing
with the people of Laurens. Our in
formation is that patches of these
dodgers have been received at Ian
caster, directed to r. F. ID. carriers,
in care of the postmaster, for distribu.
tion. Should the statements be true,
this is method of politics which no
self-respecting man should counte-
nance. AS to the facts: Mr.. Feather
stone was candidate for governor in
1898 on Prohibition ticket and was
only beaten 76 votes by Gey Ellerbe,
while at that time and up to two years
ago Laurens was a strong dspensary
county.
Six years ago Mr.. Featherstone ran
for the legislature. He received
majority of the votes of the county,
but the fifth man. (also a prohibition
the State and one of the most substan-
tial farmers in the county. as any
man, in the county will testify ran
so far behind that the first three men
were seated by reason of bigger ma
Jorities. AS further evidence OF
Mr.. Featherstone's standing at home:
He has been endorsed by Laurens Bar
association, and Laurens Chamber of
Commerce: he has been steward in
the Methodist church for 20 years.
superintendent of Sunday school for
10 years and twice delegate of
General Conference of NJ. f. Church,
South
He has been ten time special Judge,
twice in Laurens at request of Lau-
rens Bar: once in Anderson on re-
quest of Bar at his old home; twice in
Greenwood and Abbevlle at request
of Bars; once in counties of Greenville
and Spartanburg at request of Bars,
and once in Saluda.
The Advertiser has a contempt for
this method of politics.
ulSpatcn from CLINTON to the
Greenville News on Friday carried the
information that mayor of that town
had been unanimously" elected over
two opponents.
In order to vote in the primary your
name must be enrolled on the Demo-
cratic club list of your precinct If
in doubt about your name being prop
erly enrolled, see the secretary of
your club or some member of the en-
rolling committee and have it placed
on the list at once. The time is now
short, as the lists must be completed
and turned over to the president of
the club five days before the election.
1t is highly important that the name
or every citizen entitled to participate
i'm the approaching primary election
be properly enrolled on the club list
of his polling precinct.
If in doubt on the morning of the
thirtieth, voters of Laurens, cast your
ballot for the home man for governor.

LIVE STOCK TO
HAVE SPECIAL

The livestock special is the latest.
No longer viii the potato special hold
complete sway, for hereafter the live
stock special. will be to the cattlemen
what the potato special has become to
the farmers.
Initial steps were taken yesterday
at meeting of the livestock and
packing committee of the chamber of
commerce To operate u livestock spe-
cial over the state, under the direc-
ton of the faculty of the State Agri-
cultural college. The train will prob
ably be run i'm January Immediately
after the show of the Western Live
stock association at the stockyards i'm
this city.
The livestock committee will rec
ommeDd to the chamber of commerce
that the latter donate two cups to the
show association, one for the best
car of commercial cattle raised in the
state and one for the best car of hogs.
George w. Ballantine and State Sem
ator T.. NJ. Ammons of the committee
are behind the project to make the
prcsentgtign.
II. VI. CottreIl. of the faculty of the
Agricultural college, called the attcn-
ton of the committee to the great
onuortunity there is for building up
the hog raising industry of the state.
of the 2I1.5s0 hogs received at the
Denver Union stockyards in 1909,
, only Gi,0t1 or 1854 per cent were
| from Colorado, although every till
able section of the state is adapted to
the cheap production of pork of the
best uolity. The three cracker fac
tories of Denver used i'm 1909 as much
lard as was furnished by all the Colo
RADIO grown hogs slaughtered in Dem
YER.
II is probable that the Denver
chamber of commerce and the Agri-
cultural college will Jointly plan and
| conduct a campaian lasting two years
or more for the development OF this
industry.-Denver Republican.

OF the following very pretty and orig

Now when We say our last adieu
To Council One o Sixty-two
We tender hearty thanks to you
Our Brothers OF Grand Junction.
You went to work with all your

fou did il well, you did it right,
And proud we are of you tonight:
Our Brothers of Grand Junction.
To know you is but to admire:
You stimulate the proud desire
To cast our aspirations higher
Like you men of Grand Junction.
Your skies are blue. your hills are
high,
A dandy place to live or die;
Though | regret the town is dry
Its awful in Grand Junction.
I've often heard that this is where
The peaches grow and l declare
I've met them here supremely fair,
Those ladies of Grand Junction.

At the foot Of the pine tree the
cousins made their compact.
Neither Of us shall ask Corinne to
marry us until we have $1,000 year"
I'm the forest that would be riches"
Maurice, the younger. said.
"It is easy enough to earn" Hugo
boasted.
He was man Of great strength,
and he had studied law. He meant to
wrest fame from the world. He was
sure that he should win Corinne, but
one owed something to past friendship,
and he and Maurice had played togeth-
er as boys. They had loved their
fair little cousin, but as yet they had
nothing to offer her. Hugo was go
ing to the city to seek his fortune;
hence 1t might be judged that his COM
pact with the cousin, who was to stay
on the field, was not entirely disinter-
ested..
Suppose" Maurice said slowly, that
Corinne should love one Of us now;
what then, Maurice?"
She is too young to know her own
mind; we will wait"
Il wish" Maurice's tone was wistful,
that had a profession. But there
have always been so many to support
and the work in the lumber camp has
been steady"
"And you are the steady fellow to do
it," was Hugo's reply. Some day you
will be foreman"

HE SQUELCHED CYRUS WIFE
English Traveller SiIenced American
Who Showed Her Awful Igno-

He was an English world traveller

was a certain dame he had never for

he
"She became obnoxious from the

more than buy fine feathers for the

were nauseating. l shouldn't have
cared II she hadn't sat at my table
right opposite me.
"The mutton was brought on as we
were nearing England. It was cut In
generous slices-and very delicious.
Why she said, cutting into a slice,
this mutton is too thick-Cyrus cuts
mutton thin as wafer!'
mo one paid any attention, appar-
emily, but heard-and was disgusted.
She repeated; Cyrus cuts mutton
thin as a wafer. Cyrus cuts mutton
thin as a wafer so many times that
could stand 1t no longer. Such igno-
rance needed to be dealt with.
leaned forward, looked her squarely
in the eye, and then said, deliberately:
Madam, In England-mutton is
cut thick And she didn't mention

It was great to hear him tell tt
how he had squelched her with those
six little words, uttered slowly and
impressively. No wonder they had
silenced heri
