A primary has been suggested for
the purpose of nominating candidates
for U. S-V. district attorney ami mar
shal. It. seems as if the administra
tion might appoint suitable men to
these ofllcns without Inflicting us with
any more primaries. While the origi
nal nominations sent by the attorney
general were sotuowhiil unfortunate
from a political standpoint, both men
would till the oillccs creditably and
Hoy should receive ihn nomination.
Dilatory tactics in tills matter will
certainly cause dissatisfaction and thy
longer tho selection is put off tho
larger will ho tho sores to heal.

The arrest by tho sheriff's office of
three men charged with transporting
cocaine should prove the opening of a
determined campaign to stop the trof
flco In this dangerous drug. It will
he remembered that about a year ago
n contributor to The Advertiser charg
ed that the sale of this drug was grow
ing by leaps and bounds and that the
negroes in largo numbers were becom
ing addicted to its use. Recent in
stance of heinous crimes in several
states committed by negroes under
the Influence of the drug show that
the use of it is confined to no special
locality but that it is becoming com
mon in every section. Tho injurious'
effects of tho drug ;ire so pronounced I
and of such dangerous character, both
to the user himself and to those with
whom he comes in ((intact, that strin
gent efforts should he put forth to
stop the sale of it. Possibly tlje use of
it is no more prevalent in Lnurons
county than olsowliero, hut Judging
from reports cocaine is gottlng a
strong foothold here.

POR MUTUAL I1BNBPIT.
It cannot be stressed too often that
the success of the county fair depends
upon the interest which the farmers
take In ii and thai the benefits to be
gained from it will he almost wholly
theirs. The cltl/.ons of Laurens join
with the rural population in working
and wishing for ;i successful exhibi
tion, but. in the long run. they can
do nothing but encourage and lend
support. To the farmers themselves
is left the burden, ami it must be con
sidered in the light of a burden, of
profiting from the lessons taught there.
It can not be repeated too often that
the county fair, such as is to be
held bore, is intended as an educa
tional institution for tho immediate
benefit of tho fanners and the ultimate
benefit of us all ami that the amuse
ment idea has no p'aco in the minds
of the managers. course the peo
ple are not oxpe? tod to come to
the fair grounds wearing an
elongated expression suKKestlve of
pain, but they .are not expected to
come anticipating a side-show exhibi
tion. Bvoynbody is expected to come
with light hearts and jovial spirits, ex
pecting to reap the pleasures of social
intercourse with friends and neigh
bors and to enjoy the benefits to be
gained from observance or Improved
methods In agriculture ami BtOCk-rals
Ing. Come with a smile, leave with
a tfmlle, but carry off with you Borne
thing worth while, something to be
used for your own and your neigh
bor's advancement. If that Is done
this county fair win have |>rovi 1 It
self a valuable Institution.

Sheriff Owiiiifs and Oilier OfllcerH Ar.
rested Three Negroes In Clinton for
Transport line Cocaine.
Three; negroes have; been lodged In
tho county jail by Sheriff Owlngs on
the charge of transporting cocaine,
they having been arrested in Clinton
after a systematic plan had been car
ried out by the .sheriff, Deputy Reid
and Chief .Mason of Clinton, to entrap
them in the nefarious: traffic. The ne
groes arrested were Arthur Gary,
Robert Hill and Nathan Williams.
The arrests were made after the ne
groes had taken several shipments of
cocaine from the post office. The sher
iff's office gol wind of the expectod
shipment and laid nets to catch the
consignees. Plans worked out as ex
pected and the negroes were caught
with the Koods on thorn They had
In their possession enough of the dope
to kill quite a number of people.
The shipment of cocaine through the
mails for illegal use is prohibited by
federal laws and this violation has
been reported to tho postal authorities
and it is probable that the shippers
will be caught In the net spread for
the consignees. No warrant has as
yet been Issued for them, but the
post otllce department Is expected to
take some action in the matter.
