DIR. PITTS GOES TO BLACKYiLLE.
He VIII Leave Laurens next Week foI
New Field.

Rev. j. D. Pitts leaves next week to
begin his work as pastor Of the Baptist
church at Blackville, S. C. 1t is safe
to say that no man could leave Laurens
whose going would be so universally
regretted. For thirty years he has Ia
bored in Laurens, and his labor has
been one of love, repaid by the love of
all who know him, without regard to
forms of faith.

Wonders of transatlantic travel
crowd on each other so fast nowadays
that the average New Yorker has
hardly time to philosophize over one
before something else turns up. The
giant 700 foot Lusitania still attracts
the attention Of thousands. but inter
est is already turning. The very latest
thing is an ocean liner in which live
fish are kept for the table. That Il
vessel which plies the broad Atlantic
should attract attention in this man
ner smacks of the ridiculous. moving
as she does in the very home of fishes.
but nevertheless until the arrival Of
the Amerika this week, Atlantic liners
have always carried their fish from
port to port dead and stored away for
the simple reason that at the present
day rate of steaming no one could
catch a fish. even if he Were to try.
ON the Amerika, however, the novel
scheme is just being introduced of
having an aquarium on board stocked
with live trout from which the stated
millionaire may select any fish that
appeals to his jaded palate with the
certainty that it will be served to him
fresh. Taking fish to sea. however.
simple as it sounds. is still too much
like taking Goals to Newcastle not to
appeal TO the average person.
New York not only uses more tele-
phones than any other city in the
world, but manufactures more than all
the rest Of the country combined. This
fact was brought out in connection
with the announcement that the West
tern Electric company. which makes
all the instruments used by the vari
GUS Bell companies at its huge West
Street plant in this city. is to sell tel
ephoneS TO the general public. Some
thing like 100000 instruments n year.
or more than 5000 complete telephones
every day. Is New York's contribution
To the business of vocal communica-
tion to supply the demands of the Bell
interests. The telephone business,
though now thirty years old. has had
Its great expansion in the past ten
years. and $4,000 persons are employed
in the making of various parts by this
one company alone. Heretofore it has
not been possible for an individual or
for a group of neighbors with a pri-
vate telephone line to buy the instru-
ments used by the Bell system. but
this is now to be changed. The big
company admits that its refusal to sell
instruments in the past has caused it
to be regarded as a monopoly and says
that in taking its present step it has
in view the cultivation of better rela-
tions with the public on the part of
its various subsidiaries.

The three decker feminine hat has

are concerned is of more importance

which is causing so much excitement
is really a three-story hat; that is, 1t

an evening hat. At all times IL is said
il has the appearance of single hat
although of triple construction and
its first exhibition here il was hailed
by women enthusiasts as the greatest
achievement since the building of the
pyramids. Its popularity received only
a temporary setback from the query
raised by some unsympathetic mascu-
line critic as to what the owner Of a
three-story hat could do with the top
layers when removed. Obviously she
could not go home to take them off as
il was invented to obviate the necessity
of returning to ones home, but its in
