Der Races.

Public interest in the fall meeting of

week in Sc, 'tember and the manage
ment is i-aving nothing undone to af-
ford its patrons program OF first cluss
entertainm. mt. In addition to a
number Of local horses, some good
strings of trotters and PAGERS from
other points in the state will be brought
here to compete for the prizes, which
will be over 5000.
As nothing has been done towards
holding an agricultural and horti-
cultural fair in Canon City this year
people who were concerned in that
enterprise should lend Their encourage
ment to the meeting of the driving as
ISOLATION, as it comes more nearly TAX
ing the place of the former than any
thing else that has been suggested.

the noblest and most useful animal on
earth, and in appreciation Of his beauty
and utility there should be public ac-
knowle gnent " his speed and endur-
ance when placed on exhibition for the
entertainment and delectation of man.

THE SUMMIT.

len the days were fair
slopes were glad and green,
world was free from care
spread over every scene
I attn goal that hope had set
Far. far ahead npon a height,
And. Drawing all the foes he met
Kept on the way with all his might.
He found a thousand cares that he
Was forced to bear along the way,
But love smiled on him joyously
And journeyed with him day by day;
New hopes succeeded those that died
And little triumphs made him CAD.
And men who fell behind him sighed
To have sach blessings as he had.
At last. one day he reached the goal,
So high. so distant ut the start,
But JOY came not to fill his soml
Nay. there was sorrow in his heart;
The place was high that he had won
And still splendid place and fair
But after all his work was done.
He turned to find his rival there.

holders About Thirty Thousand Dol.
lars-The Outlook Is Bright.

Last week industrial and financial
corporations in Laurens distributed
among their shareholders about $50, 600.
A considerable portion of this money
goes to nonresident shareholders, es-
pecially holders of Mill stocks, but a
much larger portion than is generally
thought stays here. For example many
people think hat the Laurens Cotton
Mi Is practically belongs to outsiders
when the fact is that q much larger
amount of the stock is owned by Lau-
rens people to-day than they owned
when the mill was built.
The National Bank of Laurens, the
oldest of the local banks, has had a
successful year, and declared its usual
dividend of 81 per cent on 500, 1000. The
statement of this Bank, printed else
where, shows it's deposits larger than
ever before.
The Peoples Loan and Exchange
Bank, one of the big financial institu-
tions of this section of the state. paid
rs usual 5 per 9 n on 100000.
The Bank OF Laurens, another strong,
prosperous and growing concern, paid
4 per cent on $4,000.
The Enterprise Bank, youngest of
them all, paid 81 on $50, 600. These are
semi-annual dividends, equal dividends
beiog paid in July. All of these banks
are strong, safe, well managed and
successful institutions. In the city of
Charleston there are successful banks
paying as low a. five per cent annually.
None in Laurens pay less than seven.
The Laurens Cotton Mills paid their
semi-annual d vidend of 5 per CEN on
3 $4,000. 1t is scarcely realized even
here in Lauaens hat this mill is re-
garded by many if not most men famil-
lar with textile affairs as at the top Of
the list among Southern cotton mills
in other words, that for the six years
and seven months it has been running,
1t has made more money than any other
mill in all this section and at the same
time is paying and has paid far higher
wages than the average Southern mill.
The Clinton Cotton Mills paid a 4 per
cent ~semi-annual dividend. This mil
too, is highly successful and prosperous.
