WOULD MOVE
PASSENGER DEPOT.
Citizens Meet and Discuss
the Situation.
ACTION TAKEN.
Committee OF Three Prominent Busi-
ness Men Selected to Confer
with Railroad Authorities.

At o meeting last Thursday after
noon, which was a tended by memb ers
of the City Council, the Board Of Trade
and a strong representation of citizens
generally, steps looking to the i'm
provement Of the passenger depot, Sit
uation as 1t now exists, were taken. g.
III. Roper was chosen Chairman OF the
meeting and w. l.. Taylor, Secretary.
On motion of w. l.. Gray, COM
mittse consisting of T. ID. Darling
ton, O. a. Roper and j. @. Owings was
selected to represent the city in COM
municating or comforting with the
railroad authorities in regard to the
matter. This committee has already
proceeded to present to Mr.. Childs,
President Of the Columbia, Newberry
& Laurens and Mr.. Anderson, General
Superintendent, of the Charleston &
Western Carolina, Laurens' position.
AS indicated by the attendance upon
this meeting and the general tone OF
the discussion of the subject Lau
rens means business. What is wanted
and what will be urged is the removal
OF the passenger depot to more con-
venient location for the travelling pub
lie. AS it now stands the crossing of
the railroad in order to reach the ticket
office and waiting rooms is always at
tended with inconvenience and more or
less danger. Every ore knows this, the
railroads themselves admit it. Now
since several new tracks have been put
in, the Inconvenience is increased and
the situation more menacing to the
lives of those who have occasion to pass
that way.
Relief quick and sure is the demand
OF the hour. Can we get it? The effort
will be made.

 We both lived in Darby township, about three miles apart, and the school house was midway between Both of us walked the mile and a half to school twice day. Frequently on Saturdays we would visit each other. Squirrels were plentiful in those days, and used to trap lots of them. Charley didn't knew how, or at least didn't make success of the sport. One day he begged me to trap him q squirrel We landed one along in the afternoon just before he was ready to start home. was carrying 1t so that it couldn't bite, but he insisted upon my letting him have it.

Tn that brief stay, however, he took his first interest in politics.

 "He was tall, not ungraceful, but l very red faced and bashful youth, and his confusion was painful when he arose to make his speech. Tn the mid dle of it he floundered hopelessly and 1 finally named his man in desperate effort and sat down. His candidate lost, but the incident spurred Fair banks to greater effort He set about 1 organizing a literary debating society and in this cultivated self possession and oratorical ability. Before he left to study law he was easily the best speaker in our section of the county and had already begun to give promise of the ability that has marked his lat CT career.'

RESCUE OF FAIRBANKS
How Indiana Senator's Life Was
 Saved Tn His Boyhood.
HE WAS DRowNNGiIN A CREEK.

Episode I'm Union County, O., When
 pr. E. c. Robinson of Plain City
 Rescued the Senator When They
 Were schoolboys Together Old
 Time Anecdotes Told About the Inc
 dIanian.
 Forty yearsYago when the two were schoolmates ins Darby township, Un- ion county, O., Dr. E. c. Robinson of Plain City, O., saved the life of Sen ator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana by pulling him out of Darby creek, where they were swimming, says the Columbus (O.) State Journal.
 Both boys grew into young manhood intimate friends and the friendship is still unbroken. Some two months ago, when the Union county home com ing drew hundreds of former residents to Marysville, Robinson and Fairbanks met for the first time in years. Though necessarily brief, their meeting was brimful of gladness. Robinson in dis cussing the rescue recently said:
 "As a boy he was model-sIight, fair and curly haired. For all that, he was full of life, and in foot racing and the old style games of ball he beat all of us. Then great game was bull pen, four boys within a rectangle and four on the corner bases The fellows on the corners were permitted to burn those on the inside with the ball so long as they didn't miss Charley could throw like shot, and there was al ways hustle when 1t came to choos- ing up to get him. His appearance was deceptive in the extreme, and he was game to the core
 "The afternoon I saved his life we went swimming, he, and Henry Nor ton, a cousin of mine. The pool was pretty deep in places, and Charley, in wading, stepped into what we called an offset. He went in over his depth and came up sputtering and blowing like a porpoise. He had gone down a couple of times before I got where I could get my fingers into his long vel low hair and pull him ashore.
 "When he got so he could speak his first exclamation was, Please don't tell mother
 "Then he promised me a dozen ap- pies and made the same offer to my cousin. We finally agreed and didn't tell of it for months. He wouldn't ad- , init that he couldn't swim, but insisted on going in again and proving that he could. Moreover, he surprised us both by swimming the creek.
 "'Why didn't you swim the first time? asked him.
 T couldn't get started he replied The water went down the wrong way
 "After that never knew him to have

They have only 10000 square miles of arabic land. An automobile going fifty miles an hour could skirt this area in eleven hours. Yet it supports an imperial na- tion-the rising power of the far east. Experts admit that the scientific skill of Japanese agriculturalists is unap- proachable.

GRETNA GREEN IN BELFRY.
Pastor's Attachment to His Apart ments In Chicago Church Tower.

Pastor's Attachment to His Apart ments In Chicago Church Tower. A Gretna Green at the pinnacle of q vertical flat" with roof garden attach ment for lovers, balmy breezes and per petual moonlight, will be henceforth operated in the belfry and other floors of the toweraof the First Congregation al church of South Chicago by the pas- tor, the Rev.

 Since the recent secret wedding there of eighteen-year-old Lydia Nusbaum to Robert Gray has shown how a bridal couple can elhde even the most vigilant rice and old shoe throwers the preacher has determined to make the most of his peculiar abode and will, use 1t as the headquarters for those who, seek to initiate that happy couple. M
 II built this church tower for many reasons" said the Rev. Mir. Bird the other night to visitor. 'I believe in making things attractive for those who contemplate marriage. I have noticed that church towers are usually useless and chiefly occupied by dust, owls and rats. That is not in keeping with my ideas. built this as memorial to my departed wife. I have it arranged like flat. The only difference is that one room is above the other instead of being horizontally arranged. 1t is a vertical flat
 ' Marriages are made in heaven, they say, and this is as close to it as we can get until Santos-Dum perfects safe airships.
 ..'No, there is nothing irregular about a marriage in q steeple. Why should there be? It is part and parcel of the sacred structure. The two staircases are handy. The couples can come up on one side single and go down on the other side married. Thus there is no confusion or unnecessary spilling of rice"
 The Rev. Mr. Bird has installed a telephone, and when the weather per mits the roof garden will be in full op- eration.
