DIR. BRIMM IN GREENYILLE.

Learned Clinton Student and TheoIo-
gian Makes Deep Impression i'm
Greenyille.
The Daily Piedmont carried an ac-
count Monday afternoon of the SER
mon of Dr.. j. G. Brimm, preached by
him at the First Presbyterian church
of that city Sunday. Said the Pied
mont:
AT the evening service Dr. Brimm
preached an able sermon from this
text, taken from the First Epistle
of John, 3:2, Beloved, now are we
the sons of God, and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be; but
we know that when he shall ap-
pear, we shall be like Him; for we
shall see Him as He fs."
Growth in Christlikeness was the
large burden Of the sermon, with a
pulling aside of the veil in an un-
usual degree which hides from
humanity the glory of the great in
visible, as in a graphic and convinc-
ing way He showed not only that
there was growth but added to the
peoples conception of what it was
that they grew into.
DR.. Brimm evidenced a marvellous
familiarity with the bible even for
one of his calling, and as he repeat
ed passages from first one portion
and then another Of the Scriptures,
as cumulative and incontrovertible
proof of the point he was making,
and drew all from the storehouse
of wonderful memory, not only
were his words convincing and i'm
pressve but even more was the
manner of their saying.
Few sermons have been listened to
that would show larger makeup
of we'll woven and convincing scrip
tural passages into the discourse
than was that delivered by DR..
Brimm."

RAMBLING IN COLUMBIA.

Samuel McGowan. pay inspector of
the United States navy, was in. CO.
lumbia yesterday after an absence of
years. He went to Laurens last night
to visit relatives. Mr.. MCGOWAN will
go on cruise with the Atlantic fleet
next January. ie has already com
pleted his term of sea duty, but has
accepted this post of special signifi-
canoe offered him by the navy de-
partment. MIR. MCGOWAN is a brother
of p. H. MCGOWAN, the Washington
correspondent of The State and a
South Carolinian. 1t is not necessary
to mention that to the hundreds who
know him.
IL was in Philadelphia during the
last election and cast the nrst vote In
my life for Woodrow Wilson" said
Mr.. MCGOWAN yesterday. 81 was sur
prised when the tax assessor came
around few days after the election
and made me swear that | did not
own an automobile, piano or canary
bird. He made me pay taxes on my
suit OF clothes and two pair of shoes.
His manner toward me made me feel
that l were malefactor of great
wealth. Philadelphia, / might say, is
city of brotherly love ana sisterly
Indifference" Mr.. MCGOWAN spoke
with great earnestness and did not
intend to be quoted
Mr.. MCGOWAN has been in the navy
- years and recently completed an
other trip around the world He goes

He will report on the superdread

LIKE MUSHROOMS.

1t looks as If Clinton will have some
competition in he ecorts to become
a coutny-seat. Fountain Inn is up and
doing, Whitmire has come out again,
Cross Anchor still has hopes and
Woodruff is in a receptive mood AS
we stated about Clinton several weeks
ago, we are glad to see that these plac-
es are all wide awake to any oppor-
tunity and are willing to spend lots of
money in order to push their own
towns. Still there is no need for
new county seats in this section of
the state and certainly a division
would mean increased expenses, fair
promises to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The Fountain Inn Tribune says that
a new county with Fountain Inn as
county seat "unburdened by law
lessness, taxation for the purpose of
upholding and enforcing the laws
could not be heavy. Witness anoth-
er of those dreams of The Tribune. If
our recollection serves us right some
months ago The Tribune was com
planning about Greenville county not
having any rural police to protect the
citizens of that part of the county
from lawbreakers. We do not deny
that Fountain Inn people are Just
about as lawabiding as those of other
sections, but as to being more so, we
nave some doubts. Besides apprehen-
sion of criminals is very small part
OF the expense of conducting govern
ment.

PARCELS POST SERVICE.

While The Advertiser has already
on several occasions printed the post
age rates to be inaugurated with the
parcels post service, particular men
ton of the rates to apply on rural
routes and city free delivery routes
would not be out OF place.
The rates for packages mailed on
rural routes for delivery on the same
route or on any route radiating from
the post Office at which that route has
its origin or in the town from which
the rural route originates is Ave cents
for the first pound and one cent for
each additional. pound up to eleven
pounds.
The Advertiser has been and is op-
posed to parcels post because II does
not believe that in the end It's inau-
guration win prove beneficial to the
people as a whole. The grounds for
this belief have been set forth at odd
times before, so 1t is not necessary to
go into them here. But, since II is
established that we are to have the
parcels post service, we believe In
making the most of 1t. The people
should acquaint themselves with all
the requirements and be prepared to
enjoy such benefits as are to be de.
rived from 1t,
That the mail order houses intend

Sarah Bernhardt Coming.

Manager ID. r. Lavender announces
that after repeated efforts to secure
the great Madame Sarah Bernhardt
moving picture reel, he has secured 1t
for date not far distant. The own
ers of this reel persistently refused to
allow IL to be shown for Ave and ten
cents, so Mr.. Lavender would not take
1t. but finally he prevailed upon them
to allow him to show 1t for those
prices. This film will be here the lat
ter part of this month.

ed with the schedules as at present,
IL would welcome any additional SER
vice that the railroads are able to
give. OF course the Greenyille people
want more trains so that the people
along the line may have more oppor-
tunities to go to Greenville to trade.
Nobody would complain along that
score. for If the people want to go to
Greenville to trade and they think they
can get better goods at better prices
wc say. let them go. All that Laurens
asks is an equal showing as to
train schedules, for we know that mer
chants in Laurens can show as wide a
variety Of substantial goods as Green
vile can and can give equally good if
not better prices. A certain class Of
trade Is going to Greenpille anyhow
and we would make 1t as convenient
as possible for those who think they
must go there to get there. But, as
we say. as for the rest, give us an
equal showing and We can demon
strate that Laurens is as good or a
better place to buy.

that jenkins came to his home Sat
urday night and talked of the acci-
dent; that he told Jenkins he had

lice Holcombe had received informa-
tion that jenkins and his son had
come to the city for the purpose OF

turned about and came back to the
city with the parties. : The police
then preferred their charges against
the younger jenkins and he was re-
leased on bail of $50. In the mean
time Sheriff Poole sought Solicitor

sheriff to defer action until after the
inquest Monday afternoon.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

- gentleman suggested several DAYS
ago that some steps should be taken
to see that automobile owners are
made to comply with the law as re-
CARDS placing of numbers on their ma
chimes. AS is well known, the law re-
quires that the name Tor abbreviationj
OF the county in which the owner lives
and the number of his license be
placed in the reaI of his car where 81
can be plainly seen. The size and
color of the letters are also stipulat-
ed. To those who observe things. n
is noticeable the number Of automo-
b!les which have the number only on
the car without any county name and
also the still larger number of cars
which nave some number on them. but
only the letters IS. c.. to show the
locality In which they ere owned. II
Is very plain that an automobile with
Just the number on 1t or the number
with IS. c." on 1t can not be definite
ly Identified in South Carolina by those
numbers end letters, for there could be
as many such combinations as there
are counties In the state. The mum.
Der and name of the county are reouir-
ed In South Carolina more for appre-
henslon when laws are broken than for
anything else and II seems that the
law should be enforced.

Editor The Advertiser:
Please answer these questions for
me: Which is more detrimental to
good government for Cole l.. Blease to
reufuse to order out the militia to
protect the black negro brute who
has laid hands upon white woman or
for the governor OF Georgia to refuse
to surrender thief to the officers OF
South Carolina. Ask Gov. Mann of

We Bleaseites in South Carolina
get pretty rough down here, but we
never have murdered the Judge on the
bench yet.
Very respectfully,
o. G.. Cunningham.
The questions, or rather the ques-
ton, for there is but one asked, is
really too ridiculous to give serious
attention. Even admitting, for sake of
argument, that the two governors were
guilty Of the acts attributed to them
by our correspondent, the crimes
dealt with are OF such difference in
parison. But certainly Il is wrong
for the governor of Georgia to refuse
to give up thief to the authorities of
South Carolina when he has reason
to believe that the thief will be Justly
dealt with or when the governor has
confidence in the otiic ials TO whom the
| prisoner is to look for protection
| However, where the relations between
two executives are not such as gener-
ally exist and where one of the execu-
tives has so belttled himself and the
Office he occupies as to raise a barrier
against friendly intercourse between
the two and where one executive has
reason to believe that a criminal in
the other state suffers only in propor-
tion to the number of friends" he
has, then we would not blame the
one or the other, as the case may be
for putting little sand on the ma
chinery just to take tack out Of the
| sails Of his adversary
AS to asking Gov. Mann. we hereby
respectfully refer the question to him.
We admit the facts in Mr.. Cunning
hams last paragraph, with the admon-
ition that the man with the blood
stains OF murdered negro on his
hands. VIII have no better case before
the Judgment seat Above than he who
has murdered a judge. On the final
judgment day, one murderer will have
no advantage over the other, be he

FOR LOCAL CONSUMPTION.

The following editorial from The
Herald, Spartanburg, Is placed before
the people of Laurens for their con-
sideration:
What do you know about the fan
cial affairs of your town? The av-
erage man does not know one thing
about the finances of the city in
which he owns property and in which
he pays his taxes. The average man
in business in the same city does have
pretty clear understanding of the
resources Of the banks of the town
though he may not be director
in any Of them and have little money
on deposit.
The truth is that towns do not
make intelligent statements to their
citizens concerning their finances
more than once a year and then the
statements made are not intelligent to
any one except an expert accountant
AS matter Of fact. municipalities
should make quaterly statements
just as the banks do and these state
ments should be in such form as to
make them readily understood If
we want good citizens we must put
the matter of conducting the affairs
of the city before the people in such
way as to attract their interest
and to reach their understanding. Un-
less you are interested in matter
you never become familiar with it,
