The Laurens Advertiser, like every
paper that is *orth a continental,
comes to the defense of Its heme city
when attacked, or when it thinks it is
attacked; but in the place of trying
to pass off the art'icle about roads of
S1r. Abercrombie appearing in this pa
per a couple of weeks ago as a joke, it
would be lbetter if that Influentiat
journal would lend its aid In correct
ing the abuses that exists in its couni
ty and not try to defend them. The
time has passed when buncombe and
hot air will appease the ipeople-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 a fact known
of all men. That the Advertiser would
relieve its town of any blame in this
matter is perfectly natural, Brother
Lee is a1 lmial of different calibre from
the high collar city editors who dic
tate long win(ed editorial on national
issues to their stenographers We can
understand how they can feel that
they are of too much impiortance to
waste their brain niatt6r on getting
justice done to a section that is re
Stateient of the Conduitioni of the
PEOPLES LOAN & EXCII. BANK.

mote from their environments. We
can flgure out how' men of such im
inense mentalities cannot dAnd it in
.their hearts .to busy themselves with
a small natter like roads that they
never travel and none of their cronies
ever travel. WN can understand why
13 out of 17 of the Spartanburg coun
ty road gangs are working in and
around or north of the Air Line Rail
road and never a word of the injustice
of this division even when it has been
the custom for years.
But 'Brother 1ee is a man of a dif
ferent patterns. lie is just a iplain out
hardworking man. He even typcwrites
his own editorials. And how lie can
rest content with the disgraceful
neglect of the roads of upper Laurens
Is 1nore than we can figure out.
That they have been neglected we
Iwill cite Brother Lee to that stretch
of road between Young's store and
Huntersville. We aro reliably In
formed that nothing'has been done to
that part of this road laying inl Uau
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 lie could pass. Other roads In
the same section have been as badly
neglected.
These are facts, Brother *Lce, and
it will be to the advantage of Lau
rens to see that the upper section ot
the county gets justice. In fact, the
putting of the roads of this section
in 1passable condition with a team with
a load and for Ford will keep this sec
tion In Laurons county. Otherwise
there will be an annexato movement
to some other county. Even 'par
tanburg with its 3 gangs in the south
ern part of the county and its 40 odd
dollars a mile given to the townsiip
commissioners might. b consbe I as
an improvement over Intilng in eight
years, Especiall, as the road ta;( i
one dollar in the place of six.
Let Laurens county pay her debts
to the upper section and not keep on
plunishing them because they voted
against a ijts Qoulnty several year
ago.
Tihe truth of the matter is that tht(
roads in upper liaurens and lewer
Spartanburg have been neglected be
cause the road authorities and of the
two counties an( other sections of the
counties flgured that Woodruff Was
and never would be in the running
again as a county seat and that the
people of these sections had a)SOhlutely
no way of helping themselves. Spar
tanliburg seemn to be awaking to the
injustice of this proposition---as evi
den1ce we cite the three out of 17 of
the road gangs working In Itie south
ern part of the county and increase in
the fund allowed the township comn
missioners. Spartanbu rg Is paying the
interest on the (debt die the lower por
tion of the county. What is the great
and gr.n l, and glorious an(] far famed
county of Laurens doing for the 0peo
ple of the upper section of Laurens?

BLACKSMITH ALSO IN LINE
Farmer Discovered He Was Not the
Only One Who Was Taking
Down Good Profits.
While Tom Biggers, the vlflage
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 ton cents a pound
or a little above $400.- Why, Tom,
only a few years ago them same pigs
would have fetched me only about
half as much. I tell you, Tom, the
farmer is gittin' his harvest, now."
By this thne Biggers had completed
the sharpening of the share, and he
handed it to Peter. From a well-worn
purse old Peter took forth two dimes,
the usual price for such a job, and
dropped them into the blacksmith's
hand.
"Say, Peter," observed Diggers,
"you'll have to come again. I 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?"
"To buy some of that high-priced
pork you were just telling mo about,"
said Biggers, with a grin.-Philadel

Medical Triumph.
The successful operations on the
braini of epilepsy pailents performed
by Dr. Walter ED. Dandy of Johns
ITopkins univt-rsity, and by Dr. Cur.
tis Burnham have now been verified
by a number of other surgeons. When
a definite set of muscles are affected
in the epilepsy sisis, seizures, at
taeks, fits, convulsions or loss of con
sclousness, as it may be called, the
disense can often be traced to some
fluid nwtter, scar or cyst which cov
