What Bank Does Most Good For Its Home Town? The bank most helpful to its community is not necessarily the one with the largest volume of deposits. It may be and often is a smaller institution, hut with a larger number of depositors. The bank most beneficial to its locality is the one that induces the LARGEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE to regularly bank a portion of their earnings. It brings the small hoardb out of their hiding places and combines them into an active financial force for the upbuilding of tho town's industries. Such a bank gives to many their first impetus an incentive to save. It in fluences many to adopt thrifty habits and make them better citizens. Just such a bank is the Enterprise Bank Laurens, S.

BOYI) & COMPANY Electrical and Plumbing Contractors VMS LAUKEiNiS ADVERTISER, LAl ************************tj MOTHER ENGLAND. * 01 By C. Lewis Fowler J j Li The most exciting tiling about a O' a voyage is the lutuling. A sea voy ;e is a peculiar thing, being very n tnilar to death. At first one looks i ward, not so much to the journey, tb Si Cl i to the landing. Whether experlenc. I or not, ho often fears and dreads e journey as one dreads the valley death. Once on hoard, howevert id the agonies of sea sickness hold le in their throes, one loses every- |,, Ing save confidence in the ship and 0 hope of lauding. How joyous then ! hen one looks for the first time upon ] nd. H Is a thrilling experience, one hieb cannot be described, when at st WO see the white hills of old Tl eland. Everybody at once becomes ~^ Ippy, expectant, jubilant. Those who ive spent the lonely hours In their eary, foul staterooms are at once on ?ck. Deck caps, old deck clothes e discarded, and silk hats and most h* eganl apparel are at once in evi-j ?nee. Those whom wo thought but of mpers now look like princes and j di ineosses. Old things have become |j* iw. be Heat Life. Life on boat is peculiar in itself, u, ere being nothing like *it in the orld. There is a peculiar freedom ' id familiarity that does not obtain | , sewhere. There Is also a certain 1_ sense that would be shocking to the ?dinary folk of the land. Now, I > not mean to tell tales out of school Ol it It is a fact that the smot abstem u8 and temperate, thoso who come oin prohibition Maine, near-beer L( eorgia and dewless Kentucky, wor- O lip the god Bacchus on board a trans tlantlc steamer. Well aside from the ^ in, it is a fact that there is too much q lite and cards on these steamers. Fi III this voyage we have all classes ^ [presented, college professors, sharp ?aders, commercial buyers, society (j veils, students, ministers, lawyers, SI avelers, and prize lighters. The last Cl by no means the least, for our prize Sitter Is the center of attraction. Such life. C It is a peculiar world In which we s ve. Ty Cobb, as long as he stars in ic baseball world, Is master of the imlnine world. The prize fighter, D JcaiiBo of the attention ho attracts, D so counts his admirers by the bun- *! reds. After all, is It love that a s omen seeks for, or is it notoriety? T y question needs no answer. C First Sight of Kugland. q One's first Impression of this mother N Hid is that it is a finished product. ^ 'e do not hear the ring of the burn er, the sound of the saw; there are r> new buildings being constructed, verythlng seems to be finished, and ? ie people rock along in the good, d fashioned way Time! People seem to have all the I h me they want. No one seems to be' 1 i a hurry. Everything is built on I Jj ie slow order. The railroad agent | b ikes his time In selling you a ticket, ie street car man waits until the , ?owd has climbed the steps to the' ?Cond story, Is comfortably seated id bus viewed the surrounding coun ?y and then they move off as If go- ' ig to a funeral. For mo this Is orve racking nt first, but soon we Join ie good old fashioned way and take lings easy. English Money. j ^ This English money Is a caution. I Kind myself going up nnd down the f>ck repeating that table of my school t>y days: 4 farthings?1 penny; 12 enco? 1 shilling; 20 shillings?1 ound. These denominations are broken in > all shapes, sizes and values. One enny is about as large as our dollar; ivo bobs are equal to our fifty cents; crown feels like a saucer in your ocket; hence, three or four dollars 1 English change is about all you y an wag with. In this one respect ertalnly we are exceedingly proud of j a merlcn. English Cuisine. Again, the cooking Is an abnomina lon. Their infinite variety of sauces nd extracts put over all things that j j re eaten make It hard for one nt first ) relish the food. Oh, for a biscuit! ^0 long for our good old Southern V iscuits, nnd yeUwc know that it will C e some time In Juno before wo shall g ave that exquisite delight?a good, ot biscuit just from the stove. We my get used to it if we do not dlo In lie trying. We hope, however, to keep jgether enough strength to write a- I ain for The Advertiser next week " rom the city of Paris.
