RELIEVE SUPERVISOR
OF CLERICAL WORK
County Commissioner Austin Aber.
crombie Suggests Change in Office
of County Supervisor.

crOmbie Suggests Change in Office
Of County Supervisor.
Mr. Austin Abercrombie, of Youngs
township, member of the county
road commission, was in the city on
business Saturday and handed to q
representative of The Advertiser q
copy Of a letter which he had address,
ed to the county delegation in the leg
islature, making suggestions intended
to increase the efficiency in the office
Of the count supervisor. Mr.. Aber-
crombie would have clerk in the
the week to attend to the minor de-
tails which now take up so much time
OF the supervisor SO that the super
visor could give more time to the
study and supervision of road work
Mr.. Aborcrombic also makes the
suggestion that the county commits
sioners be given more power and bet
ter pay, SO that they too could accom-
pllsh more and be justified in giving
more attention to the roads.
The letter Of Mr.. Abercrombic to
the delegation is as follows:
Laurens, S. c.,
Jan. 81, 1914
TO the Honorable Delegation from
Laurens County in the General AS
sembly Of South Carolina.
Gentlemen:
1 would ask the privilege OF making
some suggestions on some needed leg
islation as I see it, in my line Of busi-
ness affecting your county.
First: think it would be to the
best interest of the county and to the
people if the clerk in the supervisors
office were paid enough Of salary, say
an increase Of SIS per month, making
$40 per month, to justify him to stay
there at least five days in the week,
which would relieve the supervisor
Of staying there SO close and enable
him to be out on the road the greater
portion Of his time. The book keep
ing and other matters pertaining to
The business could be handled by the
for the supervisor with him, and the
matter handled often through the
mails. The people Of our county arc
making great demand for the better
nent of roads and no person can run
II business successfully without giving
it at least one half his time. If the
above were put into effect, the super
visor could do this, look after other
outside matters and be in his office
on Saturdays, salesday and at meet
ings Of the board.
Another suggestion is in reference

BY RICHARD WASHBURN CHILD.

it ought to be.
The affair was about three years
back. 1t wasn't long after I'd been
made foreman, and everything SEEM
ed about right with me. A man can
be happy here all right, and then
again, though 1 don't do many things
right, you bet married right, and my
Annie is the kind of woman 1 don't
deserve, and probably never will.
Then there was little Annie-strong
as a kitten and lips as red as you'd
want to see 'em-but she was away
at her grandmother's that winter, and
there was little Michael with his
round legs, going into his eleventh
year. 1t was the gang I'd had by me
while l was fighting my way up and
we'd won together, and everything
was just right with me-except just
one thing that brought up heap of
trouble. That was the weave of the
boy,
He wasn't enough the tincture of
man to suit me. His romp around
and tear-'em-up fits didn't happen
much and he'd rather climb up on
my knee or sit in the house looking
at pictures in the back of the diction-
airy, or get hold of a lot of ants in
the gravel and watch 'em and call
'em by name Mr.. Walsh, and Billy,
and Mrs. Pearson, and things like
that. Seemed to me as if he was
soft-hearted and soft-handed like a
girl.
Sometimes he'd seem to want
something, and you couldn't tell what
it was any more than he could-he'd
come first to me and then go to his
mother We found out since what he
was after.
1 says to Annie: tits time for me
to take hand; don't want him to
be the kind you find at the bottom of
the barrel. This is tough world, and
the boy won't always have you to

Wv @~~ON-J
this morning, did you see fine-look-
ing old cuss working at the lasters'
bench with white hair and a red wrin-
killed. face and thin beard that kind
of bristles out? You'd be apt to no
tice him. Seems like a man who
might be Vice-president or something
in different clothes, don't he? But
when he talks to you, and it amt
often, he looks at the floor. That's
old Joe Crane, God help him. There
amt any better men wear hair eX-
rcept that he's got knot in his string
that hasn't never been picked out.
Something was put into Him like salt
is put in your cup of coffee by mis-
taking it for sugar-just pinch of it,
but it spoils the whole thing. See
what l mean?
. He works there at that bench, and
you can see the men give him plenty
of room. They're covered with goose
flesh half the time, they're so care
full with him. When he goes home he
goes to a shack on the Maple Hill
Road, where he hangs out all alone,
for old Joe's lived sixty some odd
years, and l guess there hasn't been
a minute of that time that he's been
more than couple of inches this side
of a grand jury.
He'll burst out sometimes when
some fool has touched the right but
ton on his SOUL and his neck will swell
so you can see the mark of his collar
after it's all over, and his fingers go
creeping after a three-pound wrench
or the like of that, and there's kill
ing in his eyes. Then let him fling
loose and it's over in a second like
the rip of dynamite, and then every
thing is quiet except the old man
choking and swaying and a little
stream Of blood running out of his
beak. One of the times 1 spoke of,
he near killed my boy. But it was a

NOT ENOUGH APARTMENTS.
J. 9. Maxwell Says Rapid Renting
VIII Leave Few Vacancies.

That renting conditions on the West
Side for this year have been very unusual
Is the opinion OF J. s, Maxwell, one OF
tho prominent agents in that part OF the
city. I'VE expect to have very few apart
ments to r,nt on October L." Mr.. Maxwell
said yesterday, "and the way folks are
applying for apartments points to "A very
successful renting season. The call for
small apartments stil continues, but there
are so few large apartments that we do
not expect TO have any trouble in renting
them. Our experiences regarding the
seven and eight room apartments In re-
cent years has been that the folks for
this kind OF apartment come in later owing
TO the fact that they have families in
the country and expect that there will be
enough apartments to 20 around.
Conditions pertaining TO the smaller
apartments AT the present writing are that
we have hardly anything to offer for rent.
We hate to turn people away, but II is
really fact that II has been impossible
to supply the demand. This Is our only
reason for not advertising as extensively
as We have in previous years, which is
good sign for the owners OF apartmen,
houses. This condition will not only ben.-
