THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Advertiser notes with pleasure,
the fact that a number of It's cores
pondents have had kind words to say
about the recent County Fair. 1t is a
sign that the people of the county took
a genuine interest in the display and
that they did not come to Laurens
merely to see something unusual, but
care to see what their neighbors had
done and be benefited thereby. We
say we are glad TO note this general
interest I'm the fair and hope that next
year each and every one of them will
take upon themselves the duty of en-
couraging their neighbors to bring ex-
hibits and to come in person.

EXTRAYAGANCE.

lt would seem to us that. with the
city i'm such financial straits, the pres
ent extension of the lighting system
should be stopped. While there is no
doubt but that number of residents
would like to have arc lights on the
thoroughfares leading to their homes
ana that all of the people of the city
would like to see these citizens treat
ed fairly, 1t cannot be denied that n
malt must be called somewhere. If
is true the present city council has
lnaugurated few little reforms i'm
the management of the citys affairs
that have cut the expenditures a lit
tie, but 1t seems that in those things
where the costs run up so rapidIy
council fails to see any reason to cur
tail expenses. Within the past few
months number OF arc lights have
been ordered and placed in position
that were not absolutely needed and
now 1t becomes necessary to buy a
new transformer in order to cope with
the situation. The council seems to
be blind to every really economical
measure. .''!
Z The people of the city would like
TO have pointed out to them the wis
dom Of extending the lighting system
when the city is so deep in debt and
getting much deeper. Especially do
they want to know this when on au-
diting company bas had in charge the
books of the city for a couple of weeks
at $26 per day with the possibility of
keeping them in charge for al month
OF so longer Gentlemen! What have
you to say? This thing is getting Sc
rious.

schools before more money be given

In this connection we print below a
letter received from Supt. w. III. Hand
socondinS our efforts. His letter is as
follows:

umns relative to raising the standard
OF our colleges. note with peculiar
interest that YOU advocate building up
the high schools and raising the stand

In converting people over the State
to your way of thinking. A large per-
centage of the boys and girls now i'm

K|SsEL, INDICTED IN
SUGAR TRUST CASE,
DIES FROM WORRY
New York Banker Who
Loaned" Million to Rival
Company, Succumbs.

NEW YORK, April lo-Death early
today quashed the indictment against
Gustav E. Kissel, banker. who. together
with Thos B. Harmed, Of Philadelphia,
was arrested in July, 1903, charged with
conspiracy in the deal whereby the
Sugar trust gained control over the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company,
which had been established to compete
with the trust.
Kissel, who was senior member of
the banking firm of Kissel. Kinnicutt
& Co, died at his home, Is West Six
teenth street.
1t was charged by the Government in
its suit against the Sugar trust that in
1903 the owners of the Pennsylvania
Company accepted a loan Of more than
a million dollars supposedly from Kissel,
but really from the American Sugar Re-
f1ning Company. On the plea that the
statute OF limitations barred the Gov,
ernment from prosecuting them, kissel
and Harmed carried the matter into the
United States Supreme Court, but in De-
cember last that tribunal ruled that
conspiracy under the Sherman law Is
continuing offense.
The indictments, therefore, remained
in force against Kissel and Harmed, but
neither had been brought 10 trial. 1t Is
believed that worry over the accusation
made against him hastened KisseIs end.
The death Of KisseI again brought at
tention to the peculiar fate that has
hovered over the big men in the sugar
trust. Since the original scandal leaked
out, seven high officials of the trust
have died, one suddenly under myster-
ious circumstances, and two by their
own hands. Kissel made the eighth to
pass away.
Henry o. Havemyer, founder of the
trust, expired suddenly after he learned

Battle at ZacatecaS
Still Raging; Wires Cut
Prevent News Leaking

MEXICO CITY (Via Galveston), April
10.-That the battle at Zacatecas, which
began yesterday morning while the
people were gathered at Palm Sunday
services. is still raging today. is prac-
tically certain, the wires, which were
cut soon after the battle started. being
still down.
The attack was led by Gen. Luis
Moya, who is one Of the youngest Of
the rebel leaders. being but twenty five
years old. He began his career as a
leader of the insurrectionists with but
fifty men. and these were poorly armed.
only twenty Of them with saddles for
their mounts. Moya led this force sue
cessfully in a number of engagements.
and when he attacked Zacatecas yes
terday he had 800 men. 200 of whom
were well mounted and well armed.
He began his attack by occupying
Mocker BLUM, which commands the en-
tire city. The federal soldiers fought
back bravely. according to the dis
patches which were received before the
wires were cut yesterday afternoon, but
were unable to withstand the heavy fire
of the rebels.
Zacatecas is the first capital that has
been attacked by the rebel forces, and
the general belief in Mexico City today
Is that this attack was made In order
to demonstrate the strength Of the rebel
command. If this force succeeds in
taking >Zacatecas. 1t will be of tremen-
ouous benefit to the rebels politically.
and such a showing of strength Will re-
suit in rallying more support to the
strength of the insurrection.
