Was Edwards In Metuchen

METUCHEN, Dec. 14.-Was Gov
ernor Edwards travelling through the
borough incognito last night? That
is the question that for a time trou-
bled the local police authorities
when a man who gave his name as
Edward I. Edwards appeared al the
police station and requested a nights
lodging. The local police officials
gasped in amazement at the name
given by the applicant. They were
in a auandary. The police lodging
house" is for persons held under
duress and why should the boss of
the state ask to be lodged in the
borough Jail?
According 10 the story related by
Edwards he was travelling through
the state on his way to Carwell. Pa,
and wanted free lodging in prefer
ence to that available for money.
which he had not. The police Off
Gals did not want to turn away the
governor of the state when he asked
a nights lodging and surely. they
thought, two men would hardly have
the same name in all three sections.

The opening of several additional
departments at the karitan Copper

pany is experimenting for the manu-
facture o c}rper shingles, and when
this department opens. within a
month or two, additional men will
be employed.
An increase in the men employed
at the plant vas made possible by the
starting of another furnace which
necessitated greater capacity in the
tank houses. The company at the
present time has three furnaces in
operation. A. Clayton Clark. man

prospects il the copper line look
better as there Is a greater demand

LAURENS, S. c., JULY "a, 1921

II have been in hundreds Of towns
and cities during the past few
months said Col. Il. ID. Darlington in
telephone message to The Adver-
tlscr several days ago, "and have
not seen prctticr public square than
we have in Laurens. Nothing | have
seen eXcells it in beauty and tasteful
arrangement. The ladies Of the Civic
League are to lie congratulated on its
appearance The same thing has
been said by other local travelling men,
Mr II. j. McAlistcr saying practically
the same thing as Col. Darlington,
while many out-of-town people have
been heard to comment on the beau
ties Of our present show place" The
Advertiser agrees with them all and
thinks the Civic League has made a
genuine hit in their work at bcauti-
tication.
Readers Of The Advertiser who are
not reading the articles on The history
Of the Piedmont section written by Dr.
j. w. Daniel and reprinted in these
columns from The Southern Christian
Advocate, are missing some very en-
tertaining as we'll as informative and
inspiring articles. Dr. Daniels, one
Of the county's foremost products.
loves to hark back in his writings to
his Old county and no one is moro con-
Vcrsant with its history than he. His
article, reprinted today, deals largely
with Maj. Jonathan Downs, an early
patriot, whose memory most of us
have sadly neglected. DR.. Daniels
suggests that we erect monument in
his memory and we ought to do it.
While not wishing to shelve the sug-
gcstion, The Advertiser would suggest
that We might select one OF our beau
tiful residence streets With common
Dlacc names and change it to Downs
street i'll honor Of this "Old Roman"
as Dr.. Daniels calls him. Main
street for Instance, conveys the sug-
g@"t.0n OF business thoroughfare,
although it is almost entirely resi-
dental stree. and should have a name
more IL kcoring with its beauty. Why
couldn't We do honor to this noble
patriot and give pretty street an ap-
Dropriatc name ct the same time by
naming it after This Laurcns county
hero.
