Our Harmony correspondent, his
letter this week, says let's keep the
dispensary oat Second the motion.
The Advertiser hopes that the rural
mail carriers will not have as hard
time today as they did yesterday.
Another one of those unsigned let
ters came yesterday 1t was about a
marriage, too, but it had to go into
the waste basket
In spite Of the low price of cotton
many Improvements are seen through
out the county. In a number of pac-
es new homes, new tenant houses and
new out houses are going up. 1t takes
more than a temporary depression TO
down Laurens county farmers. They
just will keep abreast OF the times
The people of Clinton are TO be con-
graduated on the forward stcD ;hey
are taking in laying sewer line AL
though the mud is a little bothersome
right now, this little inconvenience
should be overlooked while such good
work is going on Clinton has gotten
to be such large place now that the
health and wealth OF its people de-
mand this move.
In letter to The Advertiser today,
Mr., J. II Moore, of the Chestnut Ridge
section, complains OF hunting going
on in his neighborhood on the Sab
bath day. 1t is rather surprising that
this condition Of affairs exists in Lau-
rens county, but it can be put a stop
to. a fruitful field for the rural po-
lice is open in the Chestnut Ridge sec
ton. If these Sunday hunters have no
regard for the day themselves, they
should be made respect the wishes
OF the majority of the community.
The Advertiser goes out to its read
ers today in rather abbreviated form
Our regular line of interesting ad-
vertsements is found, but the news
is scarce. Realizing the circumstances
under which our force worked yestcr-
day we are quite sure that our read
ers will bear with us ii we give less
news than we usually do. Our capa-
city for setting up advertisements was
not lessened materially. for they are
set largely by hand, but our linotype
machine could not run on account OF
the l"rk OF power so of course we
coul not get up our accustomed
amount of news.
The Advertiser is indebted to The
Herald for help in getting up by hand
the type that we did get up and we
acknowledge here our obligations.
In spite of the bad weather and the
consequent lack of power The Adver-
tiser, at this writing. hopes to greet
its readers at the usual time.
When you begin to read this paper,
bear in mind the great difficulty under
which the rural mail carriers and 9TH
er public servants have iabored dur
ing the past few days. They are a
faithful band and we should give
thanks that such steadfast men, and
women too, have in charge the deliv-
cry Of our mails.
OUR RAILROAD POSSIBILITIES
The announcement, or rather ad-
mission, of the G.. e. w. c. railroad
officials that great improvements are
contemplated on that road will be re-
eeived in Laurens with great inter
est. The people Of this city have come
to realize that in that railroad now
rests her best hope for trunk line.
Now that these improvements are
about to be made and the c., G. & o. is
contemplating the connecting link at
Elkhorn, Va, it seems that the hopes
Of the people here for better railroad
facilities are soon to be realized or
oven more advantage than the i'm
nreyaments on the C. G. w. c. would
he the building of that connecting link
