Street Work Progressing.

The work on the public square is
moving along in fine style Contrary to
the expectations on the part of many,
the work has seen no let-up since its
beginning. Some who are inclined
to doubt, at one time made this re-
mark: "Oh, well, they will finish this
about next June" Even these are
now convinced that the city and the
Construction Company are not dilly-
dallying. Over 1000 square yards of
the brick have been laid, and large
block now covered with the concrete
will be laid with brick by Saturday.
Superintendent Mcneil stated that

INTERVENING CASE.
Owners of Cold Point Quarries Seek
TO Have LcsSees Contract
AnnuIcd by Court.

A case of considerable local and of
some general interest was heard last
week before Magistrate John M. Hud-
gems. The cause of action was brought
against J. A. Blackweldcr ct al and
the Cold Point Granite company by Dr.
H. G. Coleman ct al. on a writ of eject
ment and the case was decided i'll favor
of the defendants.
The Cold Point Granite company is Il
corporation formed about five years ago
for the purpose of operating a quarry
at Cold Point, this county, the company
being composed of Newberry men with
Mr.. M. A. Carlisle president and Mr.. j.
A. Blackwelder manager and treasurer
The quarries in question belong to DR..
H. G. Coleman, Of this city, and his
children. AS part owner and as trustee
Dr. Coleman, it appears, leased the
quarries to the Cold Point Granite com
pany in 1903 for period of five years
at stipulated consideration with the
option of an additional five year lease
on royalty basis.
On the first of May, this year, the
first lease expired and the lessees de-
sired to continue operations under the
optional contract. To this the lessons
objected for various reasons, finally Sc
curing warrant of ciectment against
the defendant company which was is
sued by Magistrate Hudgens. Richey
e. Richey represented the plaintiffs, Col.
+. p. MCGOWAN the defendants.
AS stated Magistrate Hudgcns decided
the case in favor Of the defendant com
pany, but notice of appeal to the cir
cult court has been served by counsel
for the plaintiffs.
The Cold Point Granite company is
perhaps one of the most successfully
operated quarrying plants in the State.
1t has spent about SIG, 600 in equipment
and employs large force Of skilled and
unski!led workme' being one Of the

FURMAN BANQUET
TO BE HELD LATER
Another Date Will be De-
cided Upon Tomorrow
CHANGE NECESSARY.
The Expectation of Those in Charge is
to Make the Meeting Notable
Evert for the Alumni.

The local committee to arrange the
Furman banquet here for June 10th,
met Monday morning and decided that
for several reasons the date would have
to be changed and the banquet held at
a later date, probably about thirty days
from the first named. However a
meeting of all Furman men in the city
of Laurens and those from elsewhere,
who can attend, is called for Thursday
afternoon at 5 o'clock in the office of
Auditor c.. A. Power. AT this meeting
the exact date will be determined and
subcommittee will be appointed TO
perfect the arrangements.
The postponement, though regretted,
was deemed necessity owing to many
conflicts, altogether unforeseen, but
which would materially lessen the at
tendance. And it is desired that this
banquet shall be one of the largest and
best ever held by Furman men.
The exact date will be announced

Mr.. ORRIE MOORE'S UNTIMELY DEATH.
Blood Poison Causes Death OF Promising
Young Man of LaurenS.

When the noble spirit of Mr.. Orrie E.
Moore went out into eternity a bright
and promising young life was brought
to close on this earth. This sad event
occurred late last Tuesday night June
2, at the home of his mother, on Sulli-
van street, this city.
His death was from blood poisoning,
caused from bruse on one of his
fingers which was sustained more than
a fortnight before his death while he
was attempting to close a heavy door
at the station house. Little was thought
of the injury for several days though
it caused him considerable pain and in
convenience. Finally he had to take
his bed, lingering about ten days. He
had careful nursing, the best medical
attention and the care and devotion of
mother, sister, brothers and friends
throughout it all
Mr.. Moore was 27 years old, the old
est son Of the late Mr.. j. Lafayette
Moore who resided near the city for a
number of years. Last winter Mrs
Moore and family moved to town. The
subject of this notice was employed by
the city council as manager of the city
fire department horses. AS in his for
mer trusts he was faithful, prompt and
dependable. Probably no one disliked
Orrie Moore; he made himself friendly
and companionable.
