Just at this time it may be appropri ate to give publicity to a composition on Easter written by a youthful but promising young man. It reads as fol lows: '?'Easter mean rising Christ was born on Easter and rose from the Grave three Days After and Jonah rose up Out of the Water to Meet Him." It may now be authoritatively an nounced that no hats will be worn in the churches of Anderson. The scheme is this: Married ladies under 40 years of age and single ladies under 25 are ex pected to remove their hats. There will not be a "single" lady with a hatj on next Sunday. A religious journal urges that we vote as we pray; now suppose this should be introduced as a resolution at the Press association this summer. Out in California a woman has been j asleep for sixty-five days; in some places they never sleep for talking. Last week the headline of a daily pa per read thus: "Mr. Aiken and His Dam Bill." In defense of the reli giously inclined editor we think he must, have been off duty and the devil had charge. Ladies, please don't blush for us; "devil" is perfectly appropriate and gep'l^^anly in newspaper offices. Greenville has decided to pave her main streets; we cordially invite the city council to make a trip to Laurens and get a few points. The spring showers fall gently on the Gardens. "They say that Laurens and Abbe ville arc doing more building than any towns in the up-country," remarked a man on the streets this week. And "on dit" is pret' near right. Prince Sagan says he saw the love in Madame Gould's eyes and we recall* what is said about that light that "lies" in a woman's eyes. How will the old court house look when the new paving is laid on the square? Have you thought what a con trast will be created? While the good work is going on let's repair the build ing and make it harmonize with its sur roundings. Says the Columbia State: "The new editor of THE Laurens Advertiser dipped into the 'hell box' with this re sult: We nominate for delegates at large to the Denver convention Capt. W. E. Gonzales of Columbia, Hon. II. II. Watkins of Anderson, Editor J. C. Hcmphill of Charleston and Hon. N. B. Dial of Laurens. That is mixing 'em some." And what was found when we dipped wouldn't make any poem, either. The withdrawal of Mr. Featherstone from the races for governor leaves Mr. Ansel with practically no opposition. "Keep Sweet" is the song over in Union; in Laurens it is "Get Busy." Carrie Nation passed through Savan lah the other day; note particularly |he passed through. The report is not yet out that some citizens of Augusta voted in the Aiken dispensary election last week. To the City Authorities: Gentlemen, this newspaper does not presume to dictate; it merely suggests and hopes its suggestions will be taken as such nd in the spirit that actuates the mak ing. We learn that there is an ordi nance already on 'the books against hack drivers and porters crowding around the train exits. There is a rail ing there at the station, presumably to mark the deadline; why notenforce the law? Authorities are sometimes re sponsible for lawlessness because they allow such encroachment in little mat ters. This crowd at the train exits is a nuisance and is allowed in only the smaller towns. It is said that even the little town of Newberry prohibits and enforces such an ordinance as we have; then surely the city of Laurens should see to it that her city appearances are all kept up. it i PLANT LESS COTTON. The present condition of the cotton mills and the exceedingly low price of cotton goods is at first glance somewhat surprising in view of the short cotton crop this past year. But the cause is apparent after a little investigation. PriceB do not always depend altogether on the past crop, but equally as much on the coming crop. The slump in prices of goods is with a view to a large cotton crop this year. The manufac turers, with a prospect of cheap cotton this Fall, cannot afford to pay high prices for cotton at this time; and with cotton goods so cheap it would be doubly unwise. The remedy rests with the farmers, who can, if they will, restore good prices for both their own and the pro ducts of the manufacturer:!. The inter ests of the farmer and the manufac turer are not antagonistic; but the farmer has the power to hurt the manu facture;, but in so doing he will ruin the prico of raw cotton. On the other hand, he can help the manufacturer at the same time he helps himself. How? Reduce the acreage; plant less cotton. Let him diversify his plantings and InaU^corn, alfalfa, pea vines and such like and 25 per cent, less cotton. Plant less cotton and the former good prices Lill ho restored. MAKE YOUR BYES BEHAVE. The Schub*) t Symphony Club very acceptably entertained the people of Laurens on ? Tuesday evening under the auspices of $e Eastern Stars. The organization cleared a neat little sum from the undertaking besides furnish ing a high-toned and excellent enter tainment for the lovers of good music. Upon this they merit our congratula tions and thanks. But it was not this that we wished to note especially; in stead, a matter of probably not so much importance but of equal interest. Among the entertainers of the eve ning was young Mr. Purcell, the accom plished, though very youthful violinist. Mr. Purcell plays beautifully; in fact his skill Is nothing short of remarkable. His playing was of diversified nature, revealing a mastery of all kinds of vio lin music: the difficult classic selections as well as the simpler, though sweeter, low, plaintive pieces. We repeat, Mr. Purcell's playing was of the first order; but--he just could not make his eyes behave. Fearful accusation! During all his playing he hardly put his eyes I on his instrument, as do most violin ists; they were wandering over the au dience all the while. We readily sae why no newspaper has called attention to this fact, for we doubt if Mr. Pur cell acted th?8 in any other city than Laurens. Neither must we search far to discover his reason for so doing here; conditions were such that he could scarcely do otherwise. Let it be under stood that we are not censuring this young man; we are merely giving him a bit of advice that will serve him in the future and in other places. The fact of the business was that Tuesday evening saw gathered together a crowd of the prettiest young women in South Carolina, or anywhere else for that matter, and this young man just could not keep his eyes on the violin. Now, as stated, we have no criticism to make about the occurrence here; it is per fectly proper and really could not be helped. But as a piece of fatherly counsel we want to say to Mr. Purcell that he should not do it; it spoils the effect of his excellent playing. EASTER. Another Easter day, with all its hal lowed associations, sacred memories and divine teachings, has come and gone. Over all Christendom and among all its peoples was celebrated this me morial of the resurrection of Christ, the Saviour of the world. Again the lessons of the day have been brought to mind and its teachings expounded. Just what those teachings are need not be enlarged upon; they are known to even the smallest children. That Jesus, the Redeemer of mankind, who was sacrificed for the sin of the world, on this day arose from the grave, is a fact, known almost universally. And that this resurrection revealed the suprem acy of Jesus over death and sin and typified both a renewal of spiritual life here and the last and great resurrec tion unto eternal life, we know to be the significance of the occasion. Easter day is the celebration of a fact in sacred history upon which rests the whole plan of the world's redemp tion. The world, by sin, was lost and beyond the pale of God's salvation; Jesus by His death and resurrection paid the penalty of world's sin and es tablished the way of man's redemption. His resurrection typifies man's rising from sin and death unto a life for God and in His service?a life here on earth as well as the other and eternal life. It means a new life. At this season, when all about us is nature's resurrection; when the earth, escaped from the death clutches of win ter bursts forth into new and beautiful life; when the blood of all life begins to move again and even bounds upward in its work of revivification, it is indeed befitting that we commemorate this resurrection of spiritual life. And it need not be merely a celebration; it holds practical good in its teachings, which applied will add new vigor and force to the spiritual activities of all who conscientiously observe the day. The good of Easter day is too great and holy to be lost or even lessened; may the common sense of a sane people keep it from degenerating into a day for modistes and milliners. The special term of court to try those two negro boys in Lexington last week was, in our opinion, utterly useless and extravagant. The lynching scare seems to be all rot. While the crime for which they were tried was a most bru tal murder, and we heartily approve the verdict and sentence, the haste seems unwarrantable, in both the trial and the day of execution. But then there was no "learned counsel" there to se cure a postponement. ? We merely wish to point out the inconsistency of the thing; chiefly because they are negroes and without money they are disposed of summarily. May the ninth is Memorial day and on that day it is befitting that we turn our minds upon those men in whose honor it was instituted; they who made it an honor to be a son or daughter of the South. There are evidently no graphophones in California or at least not in the im mediate neighborhood of where that woman is taking her nap. .

Some Comments on Visit of Mr. Riegel to Laurens and Status, of Ware Shoals Contest. The published accounts of the recent visit of B. D. Riegel, of the Ware Shoals Manufacturing Company, to Laurens and his purposes attracted much comment here and called forth a statement from the legal committee representing the minority in the now famous controversy. This committee, consisting of Messrs. P. P. McGowan, A. C. Todd and R. A. Cooper, was appointed at the stock holders' meeting in the court house last year to investigate the condition of af fairs and if possible to effect an amica ble settlement between the contending interests, and also to take any other ac tion they deemed advisable and neces sary to protect the interests of the mi nority stockholders. The pending suit by the stockholders is the result of this committee's decision on the matter af ter they found a settlement impossible. These committeemen in reply to inter rogations said: "We hardly think it proper for us to discuss the merits of or any legal ques tions involved in the eases now pending against the Riegels in reference to the Ware Shoals matter. "As to why these steps have been taken, we can only say that last sum mer we were appointed a committee of the local minority stockholders at a meeting held here to look into their rights and take such legal action as was necessary to protect their interests. This was a large and representative meeting of the minority. There were over 100 stockholders present in person and about half as many more repre sented by proxies. The minutes of this meeting show that there was not a dis senting voice with the exception of Mr. W. R. Richey, who is now an attorney for the Riegels. We were given full power to act. This committee, to gether with the other attorneys in the case for the plaintiffs, commenced these suits against the Riegels, because they thought then and still think that the same are necessary to save the prop erty rights of the local stockholders. These actions have been brought for the benefit of all such stockholders who care to join in. They were not com menced in the interest of any one stockholder. This meeting of the mi nority, as stated, was very representa tive. The Riegels were invited to be present then, but they respectfully de clined. A very full and exhaustive dis cussion of the history of Ware Shoals mill and the conduct and acts of the Riegels was had. As stated, we were given full power to act. Since that time stockholders who were not present in person or by proxy have voluntarily told us that they approved of the course pursued by the plaintiffs. Not a single one has objected or requested the with drawal of consent as expressed at said meeting." About the visit of Mr. Riegel here on Saturday their comment was: "Last week Mr. Riegel spent two or three days in town in consultation with his attorneys. During this time he inter viewed privately a number of local stockholders. A great many jiositively and emphatically refused to sign the statement he had prepared for them. We do not know the nature of the statements, nor do we know exactly what arguments or representations were made to those who signed. It has no very material bearing upon the liti gation anyway. "It is a little strange that Mr. Riegel, after living in this country for over two years and a half, should just a few days before a motion for injunction was to come up interfering with his schemes, should suddenly desire to meet and be come acquainted with his local stock holders when heretofore he had been earnestly requested and asked to meet with the minority and had declined. As a matter of Lact, he has been scouring Laurens, Greenwood and Abbeville counties for statements from stock holders favoring the proposed issue of preferred stock, and it is not improba ble that some stockholders have signed the same without being in full posses sion of all the facts from both sides. "The statement of Mr. Riegel that he is to pay $1,000 rent for the mag nificent $lf),0()0 house is a little amus ing. He states that he agreed to pay for the house, and at the directors' meeting he said he did not want to do so, and the majority of the directors excused him. We had not thought that it was the object of the cotton mill to build this kind of houses for the pur pose of renting them. Six of the board of directors, by the way, are his kins men. The local directors present voted that he pay for the house. "We would correct another error in the newspaper accounts of Mr. Riegel's visit here to the effect that the mill had earned $200,000 jn the last 12 months. The financial statement of the mill's condition, dated January 31, 1908, shows that the mill has earned, since June 30, 1907, in round numbers $81,000 and that previous to that time it had earned $93,000. This covers a period of about two years." For Constipation. Mr. L. H.

FIAT WHAT YOU WANT Science Has Now Found the True Way to Cure Indigestion, Tue first thing to do in the case of in digestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach/and intestines so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as well as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet before each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, so that the food digests readily and its nourish ment is retained in the system to build up energy and vitality. Use Mi-o-na and you will have no more sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in t he mouth, coated tongue'spots before the eyes, sleeplessness and the many other symptoms that are the di rect result of indigestion. Laurens Drug Co. gives with every 50-ccnt box of Mi-o-na a, guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy cures.
