MONAGHAN.

During the second and third weeks Of
June, an abnormal condition of heat pre-
vailed in Monaghan and district. On
the 18th, at ten O'Clock a. M, the glass
registered lO3 in the sun, and at noon it
had advanced several degrees. 1t is IN
tioipated that should the intense heat
and drought continue for any time the
crops will suffer much in C nsequence.
Two officers Of the Royal Irish Fusiliers
Lieutenant Strickland and Lieutenant
Madden-up TO the annual training, and
encamped under canvas short distance
from the town Of Monaghan, were pros
tratei with sunstroke. Lieutenant
Strickland was conveyed to the resi-
dence Of j. G. Hall, Esq. u. B., where
be received medical treatment at the
hands Of that gentleman. Lieutenant
Madd was taken to the Westerpa
Arms Hotel, and was treated by the

as the last strains of "Home, Sweet

in having so near her such a splen-

"A Clinton Idea

Our Monthly makes a few remarks

The suggestions are not bad and except
that the removal OF several gentlemen

would be necessitated, oer town would

But we very much fear that the Rail

ton in a hurry.
IL is JUST as we'll In this connection for
us to petition tho Monthly never to call

rhe Need OF socie,y 81 Iaurens.

Vhe Need OF society in lourenS.
whateyer else Laurens may be her
most ardent adn-iref or patriotic citizen
could not claim for her oven che usual
attainments N the way or sociology.
Probably in the whole state there Is
not another town OF her size which does
not boast something which might be
termed aclub, some place or some organ
ization, the object OF which is to fur
nish either amusement or both physical
and mental development for the younger
| portion of its inhabitants. Mo- even a
Y. NC. A. or tennis is in existence, and a
dancing club is an entirely unknown
quantity.
The young people who care for this
kind OF amusement accept the hospi-
tally offered them by tho neighboring
towns, with apparently eve a thought
of returning it. The boys and girls
come home from college 8 nd soon fall
into the humdrum style of life which
awaits themlhere. Unless they are unus-
ually ambitious and fond oil self.im-
provement, when they say farewell to
the school room IL means a final farewell
to everything in the way Of mental Gull
ture. Few tb ,re are who appreciate
that education comes not necessarily
and never ends with a diploma but only
when the SCHOOL of lie itself has been
dismissed. Very often IL the young
folks had only a helping hand, some one
or something TO encourage and stimulate
them they would pursue their studies
gladly-a stimulus is wanting. THIS can
be easily supplied by organizing literary
clubs, which would at once afford enter
tainment and instruction. Our young
people are not without taste for literature
aud good literature, yet 1t wonld proba-
bly, seem so to q stranger, Nwhen even a
circulating library Is not to be found.
The anxious parents, who fear that
their young IONS, Just growing up, will
tall into evil paths, know beyond adoubt
that a certain amount of animal spirits
must be gotten rid of in some way and
a certain amount of leisure time dispos
ed of. Why hon do they not exert them
selves to provide innocent outlets for the
spirits and interesting intellectual work
for the spare moments?
Both could be done with but a very
small expenditure of dollars and cents.
The state OF affairs Is not a result Of
lack of means but of lack OF public
spirit-in short OF selfshness, which Is
an undeniable attribute OF all our citi-
zens.
II, by n accident, some bold spirit
attempts to do something to help the
town socially his project is either wet
blanketed at once by older heads or in
differently passed over and left to fall
through. Laurens is q place where
things always do fall through-nothing
ever fails to do so, for a weary long time
at least, and the strangest part Of all is
that probably there is not a man or wo-
man in town who would ever be sufn-
GENTLY interested to ask the wherefore.
or course they would never dream
that they themselves wero the cause.

Death of Douglas Pitts.

j. Douglas Pitts, eldest son OF Rev. j.
d, and Mrs. Phoebe d. Pitts, died FRI
day, June Both after a painful illness OF
several months. Had he lived until
September he would have been twenty
years old.
Douglas Pitts entered the freshman
class at the South Carolina College in
February, 1889 and graduated in June
1902 before he had reached the q of
nineteen. He was a youth Of fine intel
lect and habits of thorough, conscienti-
u study. It was only natural that he
should have finished his college course
with nigh honors in his class.
Last October he was elected teacher of
the sixth grade in the city schools where
no continued with his characteristic de-
votion to duty until the spring when he
was compelled by failing health to givu
up the position. AS a teacher he was
entirely successful and was beloved by
his pupils.
From his childhood Douglas Pitts was
a christian, not merely one who OBJ
served the forms of his religion, but
who while modest and retiring never
knew what 1t was to shrink from n
solf sacrifice. His life was noted too for
earnest and u~nflinching industry.
While his early taking off is q severe
afliction to his loving parents and fam
lily they have the consolation Of know
Ing that their brave and gentle boy In
in his brief career lived long enough to
impress the lesson of the beauty and
value off conseorated life. His mem-

In q recent issue of the Green

article copied from the Richmond
Times giving an account ("taken
verbatim from the Abbeville Press
of Nov. 23d, lS60,") of a Secession
meeting held at Abbeville O. n,
8. O., which it appears to be claim
cd was the first meeting of the
kind ever held. "The ball was
opened at Abbeville" according to
that article. Just q few days be-
fore the appearance of the article
in the NeWS a gentleman, a Laurens
man, gave me an account OF a very
similar meeting-hot speeches, hot
resolutions, minute men, etc.,-tbat
he attended at Laurens g. H. He
said emphatically and repeatedly
that it was the first secession meet
ing ever held-"the opening of Sc
cession." The gentleman did not
give any date. Cant'the ADvER-
TIsER OF any of its readers fax the
date of the Laurens meeting? or
course a great many will probably
say that there is not much honor
involved, that il was all q mis-

Sad indeed Is the remembrance that he
cane not again. Reared in the lap of
amuence, gratified in all his wishes, so
far as consisted with his best interests,
beloved by all, his young life was a sun
beam, shedding life and happiness upon
those who come within its influence. In
the social circle he was unrestrained and
full OF life and humor. His CONVERSE
ton was chaste, as his habits were
strictly temperate. His high principles,
generous disposition, and courteous
bearing preserved for him in the army
the popularity which ho had at home.
And 1t may be mentioned, in evidence of
the high regard in which his memory
Is held by his comrades and friends,
that such a number Of their children arc
being called for him that Conway has
become quite a common name."
