NOT THE FIRST.

Following the statement made by
this and other papers, in commenting
on the Confederate Monument at Clin-
crate monument erected in this coun-
ty. the following is found in the Co
lumbia State. presumably from the
pen Of Col w. W. Ball:
"The statement that the handsome
Confederate monument recently un-
yelled in Clinton is the second monu-
ment erected to the memory of Con-
>deratc soldiers in Laurcns county is
an error. 1t is the third. The first
was erected i'm the town of Cross Hill.
a little later one was erected in the
city of LaurenS"

ARE THERE Any NOTARIES!

Anderson lawyers are wondering if
there are any lawful notaries public
in this State now. 1t will be remem-
bered that a short time ago Governor
Blease issued an order revoking the
commissions of all iae notaries pub
lie. a few hours later he issued an
order extending the life of their COM
missions until February 10. Some law
yers think the second order can not
be binding. They hold that the com
missions of the notaries public We're
revoked by the governors proclama-
ton and that they cannot be restored
TO force and effect by his simple ipse
diXit. They claim that no man can
be legal notary public now until he
gets new commission from the gov
crnor Anderson Mail.

THE NEW MILL AGAIN.

Now that there is little probability
Of getting the interurban trolley line
into Laurens for the present, we ought
to get to work building that new cot
ton mill. OF course the loss OF the
trolley line was not due to any negli-
gence on the part of the people OF
Laurens, for the trolley people were
finally reduced to a selection OF a
point on the S. A. l.. Railroad, the
only line that would consider making
any rating agreements with the troll
ley people. But we are not going to
get the line for the present. regardless
of the reason, and we should have
something to take its place. There is
no reason why our new cotton mill
should not be built and we must have
1t. We can't afford to be placed among
the back numbers when 1t comes to
progress In the Piedmont. Our sister

We do not like to be forever harping
on this mill question and see no actual
work undertaken to start the move
ment, but we are going to keep at 1t
until something Is done. We must
have 1t.

Much-Loved Teacher Not Get

The following incident told of a

success in leading backward or un-

the members by such confident re
marks as "Of course we can do iti"
"Of course we can learn this lesson as
well as other people, If we try!" AS
examination time drew near and the
little ones became more nervous, she
changed her tune to "Of course we're
going to PAST" The children did pass,
duly, but, natural pleasure in the I'm
expected success having evaporated.
were sulky and disagreeable almost
beyond belief 1t took their new
teacher long time to get at the root
of the misunderstanding, over which
they whispered in corners and be-
cause of which they treated her like
a bitter enemy At last, however, she
drew from the most pliable youngster
this indignant, fearful admission:
I'VE amt a-goin' ter study no more
in this darned ole school. Here, we
come up from Miss Blanks room. an
she stays down there all alone, when
she knows so much more than We do.
