| want to say that have heard with
sincere regret of the resignation of
Mr.. Boney
MIR. Boney came into this community
a perfect stranger His editorial work
has been brilliant and able and best of
all. it has tened to progress and for the
good of Laurens.
The standard of your paper has al
ways been high and | know it will
continue to be, but | feel that | voice
the sentiment of our entire people
when | say that we are loath to give
up Mr.. Boney.
| presume that the position accepted
by Mr.. Boney on The News G. Courier,
is regarded by newspaper men as
promotion and | suppose it would be
in order to congratulate him; but
am not at all sure that any position is
higher or more to be envied than that
OF the conscientious, hard working,
selt-Sacriticing, able country editor He
wields a tremendous power for good
and there is no estimating his influ-
encc
Comparatively few Of our people
have access TO the daily paper but by
the thousands, around the fire-side. in
the humble home, the county weekly
is read, every word i'm il and its in
tuence upon old and young is beyond
computation
BY the way what would the daily
papers do without the editor of The
| Advertiser TO draw rom?
Darlington, Ball, Boney-a splendid
trio that.
can assure Mr. Boney that the
very best wishes of his Laurens friends

And by the way, I.aurens furnished
the daily papers another brilliant edi.
tor, Col. James A. IIoyt, who was rear
ed here and who hauocd down to
James A., the younger. his ability and
brilliancy the now editor OF tnc Co

So the dailys have not only drawn
upon The Advertiser but upon the com
munity. And Laurcns stiu boasts of
having the veteran in n-chief of the
weekly papers in the state, the beloved
Col. Thomas B. Crews, the man who
knows the ms and oats of the weekly
newspaper business as perhaps does
no other man in South Carolina Of

WILLIAM j. BRYAN
Is Not a Candidate for the Presidency
in Nineteen Twelve--He Believes the
Democrats Will Control Next House.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 2o.-'I vii
not be candidate for president il
1914 declared William Jennings Bryan
while here This is the fsst time the
Nebraskan has positively stated that ht
would not make an effort to secure the
Democratic nomination for the presi
dency III 1912.
There is plenty of good material in
the party, but who will be the next can
didate for president on the Democratic
ticket depends upon what the next Con
gress does, said Mr.. Bryan.
Il believe the Democrats will control
the next House. That the country is
dissatisfied with the Republican party is
manifest from the strength of the in
surgeney movement"
Mr.. Bryan refused to make any com
ment when asked about the possibilities
of Governor Harmon of Ohio being the
Democratic candidate for president two
years hence.
/ was pleased to note the statement
of Colonel Roosevelt while in Ohio, in
which he said the time had come for
corporations to be driven from politics.
The Democrats for years have been urg-
ing this very thing, and Mr.. Roosevelt,
by the position he has taken, will be
able to do us mitch good "

WEATHER AND CROPS
Cotton Improved by Raif1-Dry in Parts
of Texas-Corn Continues Favorable

New Orleans Picayune Aug. 20: The
past week has been a favorable perioc
for the cotton crop generally, although
during the first days of the period there
was some complaint of rather high tenn
peratures in the western portion of the
belt, that is to say, in Texas and Okla
homa. This hot spell waa of short dti-
ration, however, as following in the
wake of a disturbance in the Gulf Oh
Mexico, the weather became decided.
cooler throughout the Southwest, great
~ relieving the situation.
In the central and eastern portions OF
the belt the weather has been favorable,
with normal temperature and timely
showers. As a result the crops every
where in those sections have continued
to improve, and now give promise of a
fair yield. There has been some COM
plant of weevi1s in Louisiana and Mis-
sippi, but on the whole the prospects in
those states, as elsewhere, are inprov-
ing.
While the dreuth section of Texas
has experienced some rains, the weather
has been on the whole dryer than could
be wished, and the crop is suffering
where no rains have fallen. At the
same time new cotton is coming to mar
set freely in Texas and Oklahoma,
where the crop is a trife late, large
yield is now conhnently looked for.
The reports from the corn crop con
tinue to be highly favorable, and large
yield is expected throughout the South.
The harvesting of corn has commenced,
and the more the season progresses, the
better the reports become. With greater
attention devoted to this crop it is prob
able that the yield per acre could be
greatly increased
The reports from the rice section indi-
cate that the weather has been favorable
for harvesting operations, which are
now in full swing in all directions. The
yield is turning out more moderate per
acre than last year, but there is no cause
to complain Oh the score of quality.
While prices are not high, they are af.
fording satisfactory returns.
In the sugar district the weather has
been entirely favorable, with the excep-
ton of rather scant rainfall in few
portions of the river district. The cane
is reported to be growing finely nearly
everywhere, and planters are now look
ing forward to a liberal tonnage should
conditions remain favorable until har-
vest time six or seven weeks hence.
Preparations for the harvest period are
in active progress everywhere.

MAY FOOL. THE PEOPLE
But Not This Ttime-The People Are
on the Reminded of the Tao
tics of the Old Lottery Fight.
Ei11liee. La. Aug. 20. Io1.

| lStulIlCj 49o'J IAuSt ~ l9lO.
Editor Caucasian Lincoln said "Yot
can fool all the people part of the time
part of them all the time, but you can
not fool all of them all the time" Why
can't you view the Panama Exposition
amendment in the light of recent events
and see that Governor Sanders has
hitched the thing behind his political
chariot and will as assuredly run it" as
he does his administration.
By their own action the exposition
managers have iiidissolubly linked their
future and fortune with that of Sanders.
This higl1-sounding talk of duty to the
State" of which Sanders so glibly prates
in his letter declining the United States
Senatorship, deceiges no one. Nor does
his declaration that he will not accept
Office from the exposition. He will, if
necessary, disregard that as bruta1ly as
he has his prediction pledges to reduce
the State debt, run the lobby out of Bat
on Rouge and give the State an econom-
ical administration
The 1nalign influence which killed the
amendment asked for by Shreveport and
urgently needed by other communities
seeking development and the Investment
of capital in various necessary industrial
enterprises, calls for a severe rebu<e at
The hands Of an outraged and long-suf-
fering people.
The daily press Of New Orleans are
under the powerful hypnotic spell of GER
tain influences, which the common
people may we'll fear. We are striltingly
reminded of the tactics of the old lot
terry hgliteven thet literary bureau is
not lacking.
By the way, do YOU know what has
become of the presiding genius of the
Worlds Cotton Centennial Exposition?
Have you forgotten his exploits in high
finance which procured his enforced
exile in Honduras7
Do you think tile bonds issued under
the terms Of the Panama Exposition
amendment will not be considered an
obligation Of the State and finally add
to our burden Of debt
The country press, with a few excep-
tions, have been overawed They nlere-
y need a bold and aggressive leader like
the Caucasian to show them and they
will rally to the support Of the true in
terest Of the people and defeat this mon
streus proposition to donate $6,5ooooo
to an irresponsible corporation, which
will be dominated by ring politicians and
gfafters. Defeat it as they did Blan-
ehard's famous million dollar school
bond amendment
This, my brother, is the time to buckle
on your armor and strike valiantly for
the right. AN OLD FARMER.

TEST GAME LAW
Two Suits Filed in New Orleans to De

Ruston Leader: Two suits have been
filed in the United States Court at New
Orleans in which the constitutionality of
the new game and oyster law is attacked.
One of the suits is brought by an Amer
ican and the other by a Chinaman. Both
are brought by the same attorney, who
has obtained restraining orders against

grounds that it authorizes the destrue-

right of recourse or redress, and with
out due process of law The New Or

Maryland's Fast Disappearing Timber
Supply.

There are 1000, 600 acres of woodland
in the State from which was cut in 1908
nearly IS. 600. 900 worth of material. The
principal cut was lumber amounting to
225, 900, 600 board feet, but included also
immense quantities of piling, mine props,
cordwood, poles, railroad ties, pulpwood,
lath and shingles. This took more than
three times the growth of the forests for
that year and points to but one thing,
that we are u ing our forests much fast
er than they are growing--a condition
that cannot lung continue for we will
soon use up all of our capital. We use
six times as much wood per capita as
Germany, nine times as much as France,
and sixteen times as much as Great Brit
ain. The same folias that these coun-
tries practiced toward their forests be-
necessity We are practicing now, and like
them we are destined to suffer similar
calamities, unless we can be taught to
profit by their experiences. One thing
is certain, that when our own supplies
are exhausted we cannot depend upon
other countries to come to our rescue for
none Of them have timber TO spare. We
face the problem of "a serious shortage in
the near future Its intensity and dura-
ton will depend upon the attitude we now
take in regard to this forest question.
