The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1912-04-17

Friday was the best that we recollect
ever having seen on news paper.
by way of politics, very interest
ing day could be had of it If we could
have Judge Jones and our dear gov
ernor to speak here on the court house
steps some day soon.
Many other towns continue to hoop
and yell, adopt new slogans every 9TH
er week, brag about new folks com
ing ia town and what not, while Lau-
rens goes steadily along enjoying sub
stantial growth. That's the best way
after ALL
Judging from the baseball write-ups
in the Newberry Herald and News it
seems that the poor visiting teams
never make n creditable play, while
there is always a halo of glory around
a majority of the Newberry-ites. Why
not give both sides?
Does it not shake your faith i'm a
milliner to buy the only pretty. origi-
nal and unique hat she has and then
find half dozen women wearing
similar ones" says The Spartanburg
Journal. Didn't know they had any
"frocks" on the Journal staff.
Laurens enjoys all the trade that is
really due it from limited territory,
but 1t should stretch and extend the
bounds of that territory. Our trad
ing area should he steadily made
larger. 1t can be done by consistent
advertising and seeing to it that our
cotton market during the coming year
is improved.

1t Is hard for lis to believe that those
OF the high-minded and conscientious
followers Of Blease in the last cleo
tion, and there were many of them.
still believe in him and are going TO
support him. We believe that they
realize now that they were fooled and
at election time they will decide
against him and vote for Jones.
Now, as a plain matter OF fact. Is
IT not logical conclusion that IL the
governor OF the state encourages
lynching, his followers will lynch?
Therefore, Isn't 1t reasonable to con
clude that the increase OF lynching In
this state during the past few months
Is due to the influence OF the governor?
Such conclusions are inevitable.
We are eager to see that Blease and
anti-Blease political lineup that was
spoken OF some time back. There will
be no anti-Blease candidates In this
county. but a plenty OF non -Blease
ones. IL the Blease forces have any
candidates, though, we want to know
away. We want to let the
people know them also and how they
stand So. just as soon as the Blease
candidates are lined up, we extend an

Christmas for a whole twelve-month, or even longer.
 Standard goods of this class bring standard prices and cost no more now than they will on Tuesday next. What folly then to wait for mark downs with mistaken notions of economy to put, off buying until goods have lost their first freshness, it is impossible to get near show cases or tables, the really choice articles have been sold, clerks are too busy and too weary to give buyers more than hurried and unsatisfactory attention!
 Do you remember what you resolved last year?
 Never again will put off shopping until the stores are crowded!"
 Only five more business days re- main before Christmas!
 Make the most of them, by utilizing the gift pointers offered today by The Bulletins advertisers!
 Like the cheerful giver, everybody loves the early shopper, who has stud jed out what he wants to buy ana knows just about what it should cost

LEMUEL J. COBURN OUT oF A JOB
Promoter of Building Schemes in !. DanieIson and Mystic Again in the
 Public Eye.

Lemuel J. Coburn, who will be re- membered as the promoter of the in- dustrial building scheme in Mystic and who was eager to promote a like scheme in New London, is again be- fore the public. MT. Coburn Monday night at meeting of the stockhold- CTS of the Connecticut Crushed Stone company was deposed as president of the company.
 The meeting was held in the com pany's office, room sos, Hartford Ma tional bank building. MT. Coburn did not do anything illegal, it was -ated, but certain acts of his were construed as breach of faith between himself and others engaged with him in promoting the company. Coburn was supposed to sell treasury stock for the com pany, but, 1t was charged, had instead been disposing of his own stock, given him as bonus for work done when the company was organized. His sales of such stock had very nearly reached $l0,000, it was said, and the other packers of the company thought ii time to call a halt and Monday nights meeting was the result.
 l.. H. Russell of Hartford was chosen president to succeed MT. Coburn. Ii was iHtimated that suit will be brought i against Coburn to recover the remain 1 der of the bonus stock in his posses 1 sion on the claim that the company | should not be compelled to pay divi. dends on such stock. because MT. Co. burn broke faith with the company. Coburn has had a spectacular ca. reer. In 1901 he made his first ap. pearance in Connecticut, organizing l with George L. Smith of New Britain real estate company opening LII Russwin park in New Britain. II, promoted industrial building schemes in Danielson, Mystic. and Gardner

STARTING TROUBLE

HAVANA, June 2l.-The rumors
that have been long current that Pres
ident Jose Miguel Gomez ipstigated
the revolution in Cuba for the purpose
of getting the credit of quelling it and
thus increasing his chances of re-elcc-
ton to the presidency, have now taken
the form Of direct charges, made par
ticularly by the newspaper FL Dia.
That paper declares that President Go
mez personally arranged with General
Evaristo Estenoz to start the revolu-
tiou and then be bought off. Presi-
dent Gomez was then to pose as q
strong man capable of dominating any
situation and indispensable to the Gu
ban republic.
The paper charges that President Go.
mez was fully informed of the details
OF the outbreak before March 10, but
took no precautions, keeping in con-
stspt touch with General Estepos.
The paper says that after Estenoa
aud Gomez had agreed 10 start small
revolution for their mutual benefit the
affair took on unexpected proportions
resulting in a veritable con1agration.
