NO TROUBLE IN BR0oKIYN.
The Town Plotters Laugh at the Idea
 of There Being a Clash.

The members of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement com mittee take 1t as joke, the manner in which their meeting was reported last Friday evening. They assert that there was no fight and that 1t Is nonsensical to state that the Hill Peppers Intend Ito vamoose." AL though there were only two members of the Town Plot committee present when the meeting began still the others had been down early in the evening and notified the Brooklyn ites that they would not be present as they were to attend meeting of the school district committee that night. Rasmussen and Upson drove down in the same carriage and 1t was only natural that they should go home together. When the meet ing started Chairman Henderson was not on hand but arrived later In the evening. When he had been at the meeting short time the Clark street extention question came up. MT Henderson had one view of the mat ter as already stated and MT Ras- mussen another. The former had a map at his home which he wished to show to the members and he moved that recess be taken while he go home to get the map. This was ac- cordingly done, but when he return ed 1t was almost 10 o'clock. Mean while Rasmussen stated that he had seen enough of the map before and as 1t was getting late he said that he would go home. MT Upson of course went with him and as the two were leaving Rasmussen shouted backs"I will, let you people fight 1t out" The other members of the committee did not know whether he was joking or was in a serious vein. They all regarded 1t in the former manner. Rasmussen has denied re- peatedly that he intended to pull away from the Brooklyn crowd, but it Is we'll known fact that he and Henderson do not pull well together, still it is believed that neither will be the means of disrupting the com mittee. The latest fight is over the proposed extension of Clark street. The people on the hill want 1t built SO as to make it desirable for the trolley, while the people below are eager to have 1t constructed so as to make it a good street. At the last meeting of the Town Plot committee resolutions were passed asking the board of aldermen to build the street as far as James. The next day Rasmussen called up Henderson and asked him to call a meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot com mittee to ratify the action taken by the Town Plot committee. As re- suit of this request Henderson and Rasmussen had a wordy war and some very uncomplimentary things were said. Rasmussen has stated,so It is said, that as soon as the hill toppers got what they were looking for they would withdraw from the Brooklyn bunch, but he now denies this. Al the present it is a very peculiar mix .up, but harmony may reign once more, as the committee has had sev- eral quarrels before which did not amount to much.

luLE FOR TIE FOURTH
Oya AlxlsIs Celsbl,toTs Nay Find
 Ihonselyos in Trouble.

Although 1t Is said that the Gid is off," 1t might not be safe for one to trespass too far upon those who arc charged to see that 1t $ kept whore 1t belongs, for no matter what some may think it Is safe. to predict that public sentiment, in Waterbury favors the enforcement of law and order, so that 1t would be risky for . man to kick up his heels and de- clare that the present Is time when man can follow the bent of his own inclination without being called down, hauled up. or in any way in tsrfered with by the police. The Fourth of July is at hand and the public will be curious to see how the ordinance relative to the use of fire- arms and shooting of cannon will be observed. The law is there and the city Is paying handsomely to have 1t enforced. If this is not done .ev- erybody will know where to place the responsibility. It will be up to Su- perintendent Beach of the police de- partment. In order that nobody may he ignorant of Fourth of July regulations in this city the Democrat wishes to give all an opportunity to be fully informed on the question. The ordinance covering this matter is as follows:
 Section 1512. Every person who shall discharge any cannon, pistol, gun, fre-crackers, torpedo, or any ex- ploslve, causing loud report, or who shall by ringing beh, blowing a horn, beating drum, or in any man ner making any disturbing noise, or make bonfire, between sunset on the third day of July, and four o'clock i9 the forenoon on the following day, or between eleven o'clock in the even ing of July fourth and sunrise of the following day, shall be fined not more than Ave dollars.
 Sestion 1514. If any person shall be sick. or in such condition as likely to be injured in health by noise or disturbance, a Notice to that effect, signed by practicing physician, may. during the third and fourth days of July, be conspicuously placed on the front of the house where such person is staying, and every person having knowledge of said notice. who shall, during the time such notice is dis played, make any disturbing noise, as defined in section 1512. within four hundred feet of said house, shall be dned not more than five dollars.

RoCKEFELLER's PURCHASE.
The Most Extensive Collection of
 Fossils in the Country.

Chicago, July 2.-John D. Rocke- feller has purchased for the Univer- sity of Chicago the most extensive collection of fossils and minerals probably in existence in the country. This, with the numerous other groups now in the possession of the university. gives the institution what is believed to be the most valuable aggregation of paleozoic fossils in the United States.
 The sum paid for the collection, which was gathered together by the late Prof James Hall, who for more than fifty years was state geologist of New York, and the foremost Amer ican paleontologist of his time, is not stated exactly. The collection was valued by Prof Hall at $160,000.
 It was stated in the announcement of the gift, made by Acting Presi- dent H. P. Judson Hast night, that "this price proved too high for the resources of any of the universities anxious to secure it," but that the sum agreed upon is considered below that figure"

BANK STATEMENTS.
The Condition of Five of the Banking In
stitutiOns of Laurens.

The attention of our readers is re-
spectfully directed to the published
statements of three of the banking in.
stitutions of the city Of Laurens and
the Bank of Cross Hill appearing in to-
days issue of THE ADvERTisER. Each
bank makes splendid showing and a
careful perusal of the statements will
prove most interesting.
This combined capital of the four
banks is 1924, 1926. Loans and discounts,
$759, 1904; individual deposits and
time certificates, $40, ,O6O. 81; resources,
81, ola, ,253.36.
The recent published statement OF
the National Bank of Laurens whose
capital stock is $4,000, showed the
loans and discounts of that institution
to be $72, 542.S2; individual deposits and
time certificates, $26. 523.37; resources.
$I26, 396.21.
While the deposits are over a halt
million dollars they could as easily be
doubled if every citizen in the county
who " surplus funds in small or large
amouuLs, would put their money in any
of these banks where it is absolutely
safe, earns something for the depositor
and encourages the habit of saving.

A dispatch from Laurens to some of
the daily papers in the State says:

A dispatch from Laurens to some OF
the daily papers in the State says:
cup to the meeting of the county
Democratic convention very little dis
cussion of legislative candidates was to
be heard. Now the thing is getting un-
der way since the way has been blazed
through various and sundry resolutions
which the convention adopted, and the
announcement is made that Messrs.
Clarence Cunningham and Chesterfield
Mcdaniel of Waterloo and DIR. j. H.
Miller are in the race for the house of
representatives. 1t is also expected
that Messrs. r. ID. Boyd and w. c..
Irby, Jr., who together with DR.. Miller,
compose the present delegation from
this county viii enter the race little
later.
"Mr. Cunningham is living at Water
loo and looking after his interests at
Rosemont, the colonial home and large
landed estate of the Cuninghams. He
has been at Waterloo about year,
having resided in Charleston most of
his life up to that time. AS citizen
of Charleston he took an active interest
in politics and for one or two terms
held the Office of county superintendent
of education and county treasurer back
in the nineties. He is Reformer and
dispensary advocate properly safe
guarded.
"Mr. Mcdaniel is farmer and form

MASONS PLAN TO
BUILD A TEMPLE.
Matter in the Hands of Committee Rep.
resenting the Different Masonic
Organizations.

The Masons Of Laurens have decided
to purchase suitable lot in the city
and build thereon handsome, modern
Masonic Temple at cost of $4,000 to
$35, 600. A committee representing Pal
metto Lodge No. 10, Laurens Lodge No.
26O and Rising Sun Chapter No. 6,
Royal Arch Masons, has in hand the
matter of securing options on available
lots.
This committee is composed of Messrs.
r. A. Cooper, Chairman; M. l.. Nash,
Secretary;T. ID. Lake, C. II. Roper, H.
b. Humbert, G. p. Smith, r. III.
Hudgens, DR.. Isadore Schayer and
Mayor w. r. Richey.
THE ADVERTISER heartily commends
the scheme and it expects to see a
building erected that will reflect credit
alike on the builders and the city of
Laurens. Masonry in Laurens is very
strong, in fact this city is one of the
strongholds of Masonry in South Caro-
lima. In addition to the "blue" and
chapter Masons there are quite num-
Der of Knights Templars and Shriners;
in truth the town is full of live, enthu-
sastic, public spirited Masons whose IN
terest and abiding faith in the future of
the city is always good to contemplate.
The announcement of the day for
laying the corner stone of the Masonic
Temple in Laurcns will be hailed with
interest and delight.
