We notice that tbe foreman of the
grand jury of Laurens has called the
sheriff and the rural police and the
solicitor to meet with him at Laurens
on the 3rd of May, and he propounds
number of questions to the solicitor,
mostly, of course, about liquor, as tnat
seems to be the only thing that needs
looking after these days, but he does
desire information on few minor
things such as if it is a violation Of
the law for merchant to keep on his
shelves several bottles or several cases
OF ginger containing more than per
cent OF alcohol, and tne statute against
selling merchandise on Sunday, and if
a cold drink stand run in a blacksmith
shop would come under the same pro-
visions of the law as a mercantile es-
tablishment, and if a merchant took
friend in his store on Sunday and
gave him a cold drink if he would be
violating the law. Well, these are
very important and weighty questions
and should have the earnest consid-
Grafton of the law officers. In fact,
we have about come to the conclusion
that about the only law that is to be
enforced now is the one against SELL
ing liquor.

the appearance of the baby and not

may be cured while the baby is yet

The people were competent to select

We had cleanup week here about
ten days ago. The Herald and News
suggested tnen that the city and other
associations and the people in the
business section should set the pace
We suppose they have done so.
"a few days ago We had occasion to
attend a lodge meeting in Fraternity
Hall building. In going to the lodge
room you have to pass through the
corridors of the second floor of this
building. We would suggest that the
health officer, if he has authority,
if not that the Civic association, if it
has the authority, if not that the Gus
todian of the building, if there is one,
pass through this corridor and open
his eyes. ThSBremains of a dinner or
a supper in baskets, and other trash,
present a very unsigntly appearance in
in this corridor, and we should think
was not very sanitary.
We believe it is not in the Bible,
but some great person coined the
phorism or the sentence, which has a
great meaning, that Cleanliness is
next to godliness"

The Cotton Trade.
Philadelphia Record.

Pn1ladelpnla RECORD.
Something more than signs of vital
ity appear in the trade in cotton goods.
1t might be suspected, indeed, of con-
siderable activity and prosperity If
the Republicans did not know so well
that nothing is prosperous, and every
thing is paralyzed by the dreadful
Democrats.
Among the items of news regarding
the cotton industry published in the
last few years is the announcement of
the census bureau that the amount OF
cotton consumed in March was 5000
bales greater than in any other month
for two and a half years, and 3O,6O5
bales more than were used in March.
1914. The decrease for eight months
was less than per cent.
A dispatch from New Bedford says:
"Tne improved sentiment in cotton mill
share circles, noted in these columns
during the last few weeks, is still
much in evidence. Whenever
sales are made they are almost al
ways at two or three points up from
tie last previous sale.' The dispatch
goes on to say that "some New Bed
ford issues have gone to new nigh
levels for this year, and one or two
of the newest mills nave established
new high records for all times up to
the present"
Fall River shares are less active,
but several that have lately advanced
three to five points are named. "Of-
ferings of Fall River shares, especially
of the higher-priced stocks, are very
scarce. Present holders are encour-
aged by the recent Improvement in the
print cloth market to hold on to their
certificates"
The dry goods market report of the
New York Journal Of Commerce last
week said: Several cotton goods mer-
chants VINO have been doubtful of the
permanency Of the recent uplift in cot
ton goods are beginning to talk more
encouragingly" The dry goods mar
ket report of the Commercial and FL
nancial Chronicle says:
Manufacturers of staple cotton
goods are still making revisions III
their price lists, and advances rang
ing from one-half cent to 2 1-2 cents
have been recorded on certain lines
of wide slteetinGs. Mills are
reported to be well under order for
three or four months to come !
An active demand is reported for
print cloths. Buyers have cleaned mp
spot supplies and are now bidding for
goods for late delivery. Many mills
are sold six weeks to two months
ahead, and are asking advances OF
one-fourth cent or more on goods for
delivery beyond that time
On the whole, the commercial re-
ports-not those made on the editorial
pages of Republican newspa apers-indi- !
cate that considerable business is 60
ing on. But the effect of the war upon
the trade of many foreign nations has
reduced our exports Of cotton cloths
in eight months about 100000 yards,
or $4,OOO,O0O. On the other hand, the
exports of cotton wearing apparel for
eight months nave increased from
s6,841, 1888 to s1S,e34,428. Much thes
largest increase in the value Of exports
was in the value of knit goods, which
are alleged to have suffered especially
