Mr.. Works is president of the tobacco

supper.
Plain moonlight, as we'll as moon
shine, produces sentiment in those
sentimentally inclined, so dozen OF
so of the tobacco men and their
friends gathered together and made
the welkin ring with old southern
songs, interspersed now and then
with some Sunday school selections,
and the singing formed one of the
delightful features of the evening.
The evening was thoroughly en-
loved, and the hosts Of the occasion

them their same good cheer, plus bet

Macrosporium and Stelnphyltam. The
variation In the color Of the spots Is
found to be due to tho presence Of
various other fungi In association with
Tie genera above mentioned. The
first sing Of fdhRQId growth appear
on tho inner sidS Of fb6 ROOT portions
Of tents and marques. Often within
three months pressure on the spots

BLACKSMITH ALSO IN LIRE
Farmer Discovered He Was Not tha
Only One Who Wac Taking
Down Good Profits.

While Tom Biggers, the village
blacksmith, tolled over the plowshare
brought in by old Peter Mullins, the
farmer, the owner told at length OF
the remarkable success he had had
with three litters Of pigs he had sold
In market that day
Now" said old Peter, "them pigs
was less than eight months old and
they brought me ten cents pound
or a little above $40O. Why, Tom,
only few years ago them same pigs
would have fetched me only about
half as much. I tell you, Tom, the
farmer Is glttn' his harvest, now"
BY this time Biggers had completed
the sharpening of the share, and he
handed 1t to Peter. From well-worn
purse old Peter took forth two dimes,
the usual price for such job, and
dropped them into the blacksInith's s
hand.
"Say, Peter" observed Biggers,
you'll have to come again. charge
thirty cents since the first Of the year
for sharpening that plow."
That's an outrage" sputtered old
Peter. "Why have you raised the price
on me?"

Pay Your Debts

The Laurens Advertiser, like every
paper that is worth continental,
comes to the defense Of it's heme city
when attacked, or when it thinks 1t is
attacked; but in the place OF trying
to pass off the article about roads OF
Mr.. Abercrombie appearing in this pa
per couple of weeks ago as joke, It
would be better if that inluentiaL
journal would lend it's aid in correct
ing the abuses that exists in its coun-
ty and not try to defend them. The
time has passed when buncombe and
hot air will appeasc the people-they
want roads-not promises.
That the roads Of upper Laurens
and lower Spartanburg have been dis
gracefully neglected, that what was
Justly theirs has been withheld and
spent in other sections is fact known
OF all men. That the Advertiser would
relieve it's town Of any blame in this
matter is perfectly natural, Brother
Lee is a man Of different calibrc from

can figure out how men OF such im-
mense mentalities cannot find it in
their hearts to busy themselves with
a small matter like roads that they
never travel and none of their cronies
ever travel. We can understand why
13 out of II Of the Spartanburg coun-
ty road gangs are working in and
around or north Of the Air Line Rail
road and never word of the injustice
of this division even when it has been
the custom for years.
But Brother Lee is a man of diff
fcrent patterns. He is just plain out
hardworking man. He even typewrites
his own editorials. And how he can
rest content with the disgraceful
neglect Of the roads OF upper Laurens
is more than we can figure out.
That they have been neglected we
will cite Brother Lee to that stretch
Of road between Young's store and
Huntersville. We arc reliably in
formed that nothing has been done to
that part Of this road laying in Lau-
rens county in eight years, except by
volunteer work by those living on it..
A gentleman passing along this road
recently had to get out ad fill up a hole
before he could pass. Other roads in
the same section have been as badly
neglected.
These are facts, Brother Lee, and
it will be to the advantage Of Lau-
rens to see that the upper section OF
the county gets justice. In fact, the
putting of the roads of this section
