Meeting in Interest of the
Movement.
Project May Contemplate Dismember
ment of Laurens?It Is Hoped that
Laurcns People are Satisfied.
it is stated that a new county move*
ment is on foot in fountain Inn, that
$7,000 has been subscribed for a court
house und that a public meeting has
been held.
The formation of the new county
would mean the lopping off of a valua
ble sllco of Lauret s. Dials, Young9
and Sulllvans are worth having in any
county.
The details of the movement, are not
very fully known here. The Advbr
t is Kit would be pleased to hear from
Brother Bob on the subject. It is hoped
that he sees objections to the scheme
which he wtll be ab'e to point out with
characteristic force.
If the Laurens people in tho neigh
borhood of Fountain Inn should wish
to leave Laurons Tue Advertiser
will allow them the use of its columns
to discuss the matter of course but The
Advertiser cannot think that they
are dlssatistled with Laurons. Laurens
certainly wishes to keep them. The
Owinges, Hunters, Cooks, Babbs,
Grays, Decks, Naslis, Abercrombles,
Armstrongs, Dia's, Powers, Whites,
Dorrohs, Bolts, Sloans, Pedens, Har
rises, Hughes, Drummonds, Wallaces,
Cokers, Priors, Stewarts, Hellamses
and thousands more like them are
needed in Laurens. Doubtless they
they will stay in Laurens. They are
in half an hour by railway from Foun
tain Inn to Laurens C. H. Now if
Fountain Inn, including Falrvlew,could
bo annexed to Laurens, everybody
would be glad.
TO BUILD RAILWAY.
Itoad May be Continued Through Sulli
vans Township.
It is said that a strong movement has
been started to build the railway
through Sulllvans township to Green
ville which was graded long ago. Im
portant cotton mill corporations in An
derson and Greenville counties are said
to be interesting themselves in the
project. A public meeting to "push it
along" may be held.

should support it better than this.

FINAL MEETING
TO BE HELD.
College To Be Discussed
Tomorrow.
EVERYBODY ATTEND.
Mr. Dial Writes a Strong
Letter.
Points Out Urgent Necessity of the
People to Subscribe to this Im
portant Enterprise.
The following call is Issued:
1 ho final meeting in regard to tho
College question will be hold to-mor
row (Thursday) nftornoon at the Court
House at 3 o'clock. Lot ovorybody be
there.
It is of most urgent importance to
Laurens that everybody come forward
and do a part in bringing the college
here Laurens has a fine chance?the
best chance. It must not be thrown
away.
Thk Advertiser has said all that
it can on the subject. The following
letter from a man who has been a
leader in all matters here and whoso
reputation as a shrewd buslnoss man
extends throughout South Carolina
presents the ca9e:
mr. dial's leeter,
Fellow Citizens:?
It is too lato to write, but now is the
time to work and subscribe your money
to briDg the Columbia Female College
to Laurens.
It will not do to sit down and say we
can't get It, nor will it do to say that
there is no necessity for each to work
because wo are satisfied it will come
here, and because we have a committee
to look after this matter. I do not
know whether I am on the committee
or not, however this ia of no moment.
Every citizen, man, woman and child
in Laurens county ought to subscribe
whatever amount they can pay to get
this College.
If you have no girl to educate, your
relatives and friends have, and if you
are not interested in education you are
interested in selling your land and
selling various other things, and in
building up the community in general.
Laurens has merely oxisted by main
force, as it were. We have lost the fol
lowing opportunities:
First: Tho Greenville & Columbia
Railway.
We were told not to subscribe to
this, that Laurens was on the natural
route, and the road was sure to come
this way.
The Piedmont Air Line went above
as.
The Seaboard Air Line crossed below
us.
We lost Winthrop, trusting to nat
ural advantages, and thinking certain
friends would have it located here. We
could mention various other lost oppor
tunities, but time is short, and the
foregoing are sufficient to call to our
attention the necessity of acting imme
diately. This is not only a matter for
the town of Laurens, but for the whole
county as well.
We are assured we can got this col
lege by raising a certain amount of
money, and it is our sincere hope
that everybody will send their sub
scription in this week. You can write
to Mr. Duncan, Dr. Aiken, or any one
else here, and your subscription will
be entered.
This matter will be settled definitely
next week, and if we miss this college
in all probabality we will nover have an
other in our lifetime. Parents who
havo daughters to educate can do so
now at one fourth the cost it will take
to send the girls off.
After tho matter has been settled
don't say that if you had known your
subscription would have brought It
here, you would have subscribed, but
do so now. Nor don't sit down and
complain about what others are doing
but let eaoh one of us subscribe liber
erally ourselves and success is ours.

CAROMNB NORTON, afterward Lady Stirling-Maxwell, English j

SOLDI EH of the Legion lay dying in Algiers,
There whs lack of woman's nursing, there was dearth 1
of woman's tears; <
Hut o comrade stood beside him, while his life-blood <

And bent, with pitying glances, to hour what he might {

The dying soldier faltered, und he took that comrude'H <

And he said: "I nevermore shall see my own, my native land; \
Take a message, and a token, to some distant friends of mine, <
For I was born at Hingen?at Bingen on the Rhino, {
"Tell my brothers and companions, .when they meot and crowd around <
To hear my mournful story, in the pleusant vineyard ground, J
That we fought the battle bravely, and when the day was done,
."till many a corse lay ghastly pale beneath the setting sun. '
And, mid the dead and dying, wore some grown old in wars? 1

And some were young, and suddenly beheld life's morn decline?
And one had come from Bingen?fair Bingen ou the Rhine.
"Tell my mother that her other son shall comfort her old ago;
And I was still a truant bird, that thought his home a cage.

But to look upon them proudly, with a calm and steadfast eye,

And If n comrade seek her love, I ask her in my name
To listen to him kindly, without regret or shume,
And to hang the old sword in its placo (my father's sword and mine),
For the honor of old Bingen?dear Bingen on the Rhine,

The German songs wo used to slug, In chorus sweet and clear;
And down tho pleasant river, and up the slanting hill,

Thk Advertiser has reoeived a
charming letter of acknowledgement
from Miss Annie Austin of Cross Hill,
winnor in first contest.
This one Is from Prof. Bryson's school
at Waterloo:
THANKSGIVING.
During Elizabeth's reign, the Catho
lic Church was the principle church of
England, A class of people then rose
up who called themselves Puritans or
Protestants because they protested
against the princlplo religion and
wanted to purify It of Catholicism. As
thoy could not get a Royal license to
come to America, thoy determined to
go to Holland where, at that time, all
men could worship as they pleased.
After remaining there twelve years
they succeeded in obtaining the li
lenso. In 1620 these Pilgrims set forth
for the new world in the Mayflower.
Landing at Plymouth in Massachu
setts they gave thanks for the safe
voyage.
This day became known as Thanks
giving and every year in each home wo
should be thankful that we aro in a land
where wo may worship as wo please.
On this day we usually have services
In the church and rot urn thanks that
our forefathers succeeding in obtaining
that priceless boon "the liberty of wor
ship in whatever manner they liked."
Usually the children who aro away
from home como homo on this day and
the whole family of children and grand
children aro gathered at grand-father's
house.
We children always like this as it
means pumpkin pie, turkoy and a regu
lar good time In general for us with our
cousins.
PEAS.
Tho following Is from Mr. W. W.
Kennedy's school at Shiloh:
Taking everything into consideration
peas aro one of the most useful crops a
farmer can raise.
They may bo planted whon it is too
wot to do anything else on the farm,
any time from Juno till tho middle of
July, either in rows, broad-castod or
planted between corn.
They require very little, if any atten
tion, after boing planted, till thoy got
ripo and aro ready to bo picked.
The peas aro now picked and threshed
out.
Then tho vines aro cut with a mower,
raked up, and stacked on poles about
flvo feet high. Those polos have two
short planks nailed across them near
tho ground. This is to let the air in to
cure tho vines.
When they havo l>een properly cured
they aro taken off of these poles, hauled
up and stored away for winter use.
Pea vinos make excellent feed for
cows, horses, or most any kind of cat
tle.
Wo havo several varieties: Among
thorn may be mentioned the unknown,
the c'ay, the speckled, the blue, the
cow poa and many others too numerous
to hum it ion.
I boliove the big blue pea yields more
per acre, although it doesn't have as
much vine.
It will yield from ton to twenty bush
els por aero and will sell from $1.50 to
$2.00 at planting timo.
Tho unknown pea will yield from one
to two tons of hay per acre and will
bring from $ .75 to $1.00.
Our foro-fathors never knew the
value of peas, either as feed or as a
fertilizor. But now with the machin
ery that is in use, and as men are be
coming mqre and more enlightened, all
up-to-dato farmers cut, rake and stack
tho same day and the vines can remain
in tho field several days.
It has been deoided that It pays to
sow peas, if you never piok the peas nor
cut the vines, because they Improve the
land so much.
The following is from Miss Maud
Coly's school:
PHILLIPINE ISLANDS.
The Philippine Islands, which came
under tho protection of the United
States at the 'closo of tho war .with
Spain, form oni? of tho largest Arohi
pelagoea of th? world,
I Thoy wer? 4iscovorotl by Magellan
sion In 1566. Thoy named them Philip
pine after the reigning King Philip II
of Spain.
They are situated in the North tropic
zone, and have on tho West the China
sen and on tho East tho Pacific ocean.
Tho principal j>ort is Manila, situated
in the island of Luzon. It was cap
tured by Dewey, May 1, 1808. It con
tains the hospital, and has about ".00,000
inhabitants, principally Chinese, who
carry on most of the trade and banking.
The total area of the group Is thought
to be 11400 square miles. Most of tho
islands are hilly or mountainous, but
thoro are valleys and plains of wonderful
fertility.
The climate Is very hot and the na
tives need very little clothing although
the Northern part of the Island of Lu
zon Is healthful and has a very pleasant

Wantt"

Cfceeae n? Peed.
"People should know and value bet
ter cheese a* food," said a physician
the other day In discussing tho diet
question. "It is true that freshly made
domestic cheese is hard to digest, but
nothing Is so easily digested ns any
of tho Imported cheeses and nothing
Is more nutritions. Weight for weight
Roquefort, Brie, Camembert and Swiss
cheeses are more nutritious than tho
best beef or steak. They are moro
easily digested, and thoy give tho saino
sort of nourishment that is derived
from fresh meat, so that in the time of
a meat famine the well cured and well
aged imported cheeses are tho best sub
stitute thnt can be found for beef, nnd,
as consumed, tho best of cheese Is
cheaper. A twcnty-flvo cent Brio
cheese, for instance, will feed moro
persons and nourish them better than n
dollar's worth of beef. Two ounces of
these cheeses have the same food valuo
as a pound of the best prlmo beef."
