vertiser, which gives some little
thoiught to tli' public works of thie

tie rile suggested by Ilhe couincil is
hIgh or lIow. When t ie coo ncil
clanges from the iipeak basis to the

Iract, it is, we fear, like 'Tie Adver

which proved So lillpopllar, was
made.
'ie railroads, the telegraph and the
telephone were taken over by the gov
ernment, durinig the war as a war meas
ure. Whether or iot tie efliclicy of
either was increased by this action is
open to question. When we coisider
the results obtained and the increased
cost to tile public, it is natural to Won
der whether or not, with the same in
erease ill ciarges and with the saime
restrictions removed, the railroads un
der private ownership would not have
done as hwell or better. It Is reason
able to uppo- that with increased

We be'llieve that the suggestin' t hat
C'ol. D~arlington makes sw'llillmeet with
the hiearly S111( supor. of Ite pat rIot ic p)ei
pe of thIiis counlty. Th'le men who have
given uip thelir lIves In defense of their
(ountr's cauise deser've a me(moilal
that wIll stand as a constant remInder
to futuriie generaltIons that. the sacil
flees of these men wer'e appireciated
by those who stald at home, and that
the fight they made In dlefense of the
prinltclples of democr'acy ar'e endorsed
as a comlmon fight against the evils of
autoeracy and ilItaism.
The Adver'tlser' pointed out several
weeks ago that. Laur'ens county has a
rIght to be proiud of the rCcord( of her
somt In thIs war. As Colonel Dailing
ton says, Laurens county has con
tibuhted lar'gely fronm Its quota of those
who offered thir~l all foi' theltr country.
Laurens troops participated as a body
in at least two of the most vital con
flicts of the 1918 campaign, while indi
viduals in various units rendered hero
Ic service almost on every field iwhere
American. troops participated. tIt i1
right and fitting. that we should hono
their memory and honor it in a manner
worthy of the conspicuous gallantry
which they displayed.
As Col. iDarlington suggests, it
tvould be well to go about the cam
paign to erect this mitonument in a bis
intess-like manner. For this reasont,
we wilt not atteipt to lay down an3
de'finite plans for the campaign, in
whjilch w'e know a whole-hearted r
