Makes a man healthy, wealthy and

| am not sure about the wealth
but | am certain about the health
and the opportunity to learn.
An hour in the morning before the

three hours in the middle of the day
when Interruptions are constant, ana
is worth two hours of night study,
when the brain is tagged.
Let me assume that there IS some
study in which you would ike to be-
come proficient, but which your daily
task affords no time for you to pur-
sue.
You would like to take cores

work.
Need the Sleep
Or YOU would like to make a study
of English poetry, or of Chinese
Metaphysics, or of Sanskrit, or OF
Political Economy.
But YOU cannot do it. You are held
by your will.
Rise an hour earlier. and do it
while your mind is fresh,
But you need the sleep?
Cut out the last hour at the NOV
les, or the last hour Of yawning, use
less gossip. or of troubled and incf-
fective work
Actual Rest Counts
But it is not certain that you need
the extra hour of sleep.
If you put in your night resting,
you can spend an hour less in bed,
and still get more real sleep than
many men now get.
It is not the number of hours you
spend between the blankets that

What The Advertiser force considers
a real tragedy was enacted on the nam
floor OF the establishment last Tuesday
night Just at press time when its mem
bers suffered tho loss OF feast Of ice
cream and cake, besides a few mo-
ment's association with q committee
Of young ladies from the Business Wo-
mems Club, who came over from their
social meeting with refreshments to
appease our appettes after haro
days work. The whole force was with
tho big press in the basement at the
time and no amount Of ingenuity that
the ladies could command availcd
them to get a hearing from the work
ers below There was great lamcnta-
tion the following morning when the
news Of what we had missed was dis
covered and plans at once were laid to
prevent such loss again. Certain
ones in the shop who were more dis
consulate ovor the failure to see the
ladies than to miss the feast avowed
that such thing would never happen
again and wanted themselves put on
record as being in favor Of leaving
somebody on watch every night to pre-
vent the repetition OF such an affair.
We thank tho ladies even though we
missed their presence and what they
brought.

THE ALLIED DEBT

In the absence OF complete report
of Gov. r. a. COopcr's speech in Spar
tanburg, where he advocated the can
ccl'aticn OF the Allied debts to this
cCrn,ry, an w,tp only the report to
the daily papers as carried in The Ad-
Vertiscr last week at hand, we are in
clned 10 believe that those who have
taken issue with the Governor on his
position have misinterpreted his re-
marks. .A5 we read the excerpts OF
his speech, we understood that he
nascd his position not on the question
of charity or good fellowship but on
that Of sound business. He is not
alone in his views on this subject, hay
ing considerable company among large
men of affairs who doubt the ability of
the Allies to pay their debts. Gov.
Cooper would cancel the debt as a
measure Of relief 10 tax burdcncd peo-
pie with Wow OF reviving industry in
those nations so that we may profit
ourselves from the trade which would
follow. The Governor would apply the
same princlDlc to them as we aDplv to
bankrupt individuals. remove the
shacklcs that prevent them from be-
coming efficient and useful citizens and
make UP the loss from the efficiency
gained by more freedom OF action. The
AiiicS owe us a tremendous sum of
money and there is no question as to

er part Of the county would have made
could not be expected Of Laurens to
carry the election If the lower part
Of the county could not rally rea-
somable support. The Chronicle pass
es very lightly over the Hopewcll vote,
saying that Hopewell, which is on the
opposite side or Clinton from Mus
grove, sat down" on both issues
Hopewcll did sit down on both issues,
but it sat very much harder on the
Musgrovc issue that it did on the Ow-
ings issue, as was pointed out in our
issue Of last week.
The Chronicle hints of certain as
suranccs which had been received in
Clinton that Laurens would vote for
the Musgrove project. Except on the
contingency that something was prom
ised in return, and we would ncf
charge that Clinton attempted to trade
with any section on this election, as
suranccs OF support in the election,
not, disclose no motives OF prejudice.
The Advertiser, OF course, could not
say whether or not such assurances
were givon, but we lean to the opinion
expression Of opinion or phophecy on
the returns for an assurance or prom
Use. No one, we are sure, would care
to promise delivery Of the Laurens
vote.
Outside Of It's charges Of prejudice
in Laurens against Clinton, we believe
the main contention OF our Clinton
contemporary is that since Clinton
town pays one-seYenth Of the taxes Of
the county that it should receive
larger share Of tho benefits from the
road bond issues. TO determine this
share. Of course, would be a difficult
matter Accepting The Chronicles es-
innate, however, that 81 miles OF high
ways have been improved and then
between Laurens and Clinton as Cln-
tons share and adding to that about
five or more miles between Clinton
and kinards, we have about eight
miles Of road leading directly into
Clinton giving it over one-seventii of
the top-soiled roads, which is not a
very bad percentage as compared to
some other sections Of the county.
TO prove the existence or non-exist-
cnce Of prejudice is very difficult
matter, but The Advertiser is quite
confident that the IIaurens vote in the
election was not prejudiced vote and
that moreover, many local voters
strained their cOnscienccs a point or
two in order to be sure they were
giving Clinton a fair deal

The Advertiser EXPLAINS

Our friend Editor Ice, as official
spokesman for I.aurens, has gone into
Il lengthy discussion Of the matter as
YOU will see, yet there arc several
things he mentions that we want to
call attention to. At the outset Mc
would say that neither The Chronicle
nor the people of Clinton, are prcju-
diced as the article charges. and our
vote in the original bond election, as
well as the two projects las; Tuesday,
nSUhatantutcs this contention. The
people o! Clinton and this section OF
tle county are asking for a square
deal, nothing more, and We feel that
we haven't gotten it. The Chronicle
holds no prejudice or dislike against
l.aurcnS, but after viewing their atti-
tudc towards Clinton as OK, rcsscd in
their vote, we feel that IaurCnS fell
down on us and has not given us a
square deal. Therefore we spoke in
"nnvarnishcd" language, not for a
controversy, but because ne felt it
was time to say something since Lau-
rcnS voted just the opposite to which
we, had been given assurance the re-
suit would be. Furthermore we were
not urged or driven on by any one but
spoke what we felt and apologies are
not in order.
The Advertiser says "that Laurcns
needs TO make no explanation of its
vote PROBABLY not, for their posi-
tion can't be explained. The AdveI"
tiscr in its lengthy, Illuminating ar
ticlc fails to tel! us why I1aurcns
voted for the Owngs road ana against
the MusgroVc road. 1t says that "thc
Laurcns voters werc probably voting
on the theory that unfinished jobs
should be completed or provided for
before new ones arc begun" Where
did this new argument spring from?
1t wasn't heard before tic election
but rather, assurance had been given
that both bond Issues would BE sup
ported. Why was such sentiment con
fined alone TO l.aurens, when the other
precincts Of the county net favorinG
further road construction, voted al
most solidly against both bills
1T is possible that these 1913 yeo-
men were influenced by prejudice
against Clinton" The Advertiser as
seNts. Why? Why are our LaurcnG
neignbors willing for us 10 nclp pay
for the construction Of roads in their
section yet unwilling to help pay for
such Improvement cffcctng Clinton?
Laurcns, above all other places in the
county, should have voted without pre-
judicc on the two propositions Gocau&a
1t is the center Of the county and was
effected by the road extension to both
points. We arc making no "outburst
Of prejudice" against the ffty-nve vot-
