Laurens Alumni to Have Banquet.

The Furman Alumni and former Fur
man students of Laurens county will
give a banquet here on the evening of
June the tenth. Arrangements are
now being made to have great re-
union of the old Furman men, and it is
hoped that every Laurens county man
who ever attended the University will
be present on that occasion. A number
of distinguished speakers will be pres
ent and respond to various toasts
Among these are DR.. Edwin M. Poteat,
President of Furman; Dir. Lewis M
Roper of Spartanburg and native of
Laurens; and Hon. H. IL. Watkins of
Anderson, also native Of this county.
There will be several other visitors of
distinction whose names have not
yet been secured. 1t is purposed to
make this one of the finest gatherings
of Furman men eyer held in this State.
Mr.. G.. A. Power Of this city is acting
as secretary of the committees on ar
rangement, and it is hoped that all the
old Laurens county men will at once
communicate with him regarding their
attendance.

STATE WILL BORROW MONEY.
After Pensions Are Paid There Will be
Nothing for Ordinary Expenses.

The list of pensioners who will re-
ccivc their share of the State appro-
priation this year is being rapidly com
pleted and will be ready for the various
county boards shortly. AS result it
will be necessary for the State to bor-
row about 100000. There is at pres
ent enough in the treasury or due from
the franchise tax collections to pay the
pension appropriation, amounting to
$3.50, 600, but the ordinary expenses of
the State amount to about $60,OO per
month and on July there is the semi
annual interest on the public debt,
amounting to about $86, 900, to be paid
out. This will make loan necessary
and until taxes are sent in during the
fall months the State will have very
little to pay the ordinary running ex-
penses. A large loan will give a lower
rate of interest and it is probable that
1T will be about $500, 600 this time.

TRAGIC DEATH OF
CROSS HILL MAN.
Young Edwin Hill Dragged by Runaway
Mule and His Body Horribly
Mang1ed,

Cross Hill, April 25th, Mr.. Edwin
Hill, a young man Of this section,
was killed yesterday afternoon in
horrible manner. He was blowing in
field some distance from his fathers
home, and it is presumed he unhitched
his mule from the plow, mounted it and
rode towarda spring for water. The
mule ran away with the young man,
throwing him and dragging him all
around the field and through the woods.
The tracks in the vicinity show that the
animal was headed toward the spring
and also that the body of Mr.. Hill was
dragged for considerable distance
The mule went to the house about dark
and, of course; caused fears on the part
of the family. A party went out in
search of young Hill and at II O'Clock
found him in an unconscious state near
the field where he had been blowing.
His body was horribly cut and mangled,
beaten almost to pieces against the
trees and rocks. He never regained
consciousness and died last night at 2
o'clock.
Mr.. Hill was hard working, indus
trious young man, 18 years of age. He
was son of Mr.. j. G.. Hill of Cross
Hill, and member of one of the largest
families in the county.

Both. On this day and evening there

time consumed in showing the great

a mile and half long, and which will
take an hour and forty-fve minutes to
display. The first show begins prompt
ly at 1880 O'Clock, p. M; the second, at
$50; the third, at 1870; and the fourth,
at $50. These hours will be strictly
observed.
The Passion Play is a history in pict-
ures of the life Of Christ, and should be
seen by every man, woman and child in
Laurens. The work on these pictures
took long and hard work and it is by
far Pathe's masterpiece.
Mr.. Roman is striving to give the
people here something good and they
should appreciate it by going out on
Thursday. The same prices obtain.

10 O'Clock. Up to few minutes be-
fore his death Mr.. Langston had been

In the death of Robert Abercrombie
Laurens county has lost one of it's best
and most prominent citizens. He was
a fine type of the self made man,
which means that he was success.
He was good farmer and business
man, devoted to his family and friends,
and in religion loyal Methodist and
Sunday school worker. While he did
not figure very prominently in public
affairs he was nevertheless always
keenly interested in all questions af-
fecting the common good of the coun-
try. For years he was regarded as one
of the leaders in the advocacy of county
and State prohibition and his writings
and speeches on this question attracted
the attention and thought of many.
lie stood for right principles and could
not tolerate anything small or ques-
tionable.
He wrote over the nom-de- plume of
Brother Bob" and his contributions
to THE ADVERTISER were eagerly read
and frequently widely copied in other
newspapers. He was staunch friend
OF this paper and his death is keenly
regretted.

Prohibition Leaders in Laurens.

DR.. T. M. Hare, District Superinten-
dent of the Anti-Saloon League of
America, and Rev. j. l.. Harley, Field
Secretary of South Carolina, were in
Laurens for few hours Friday. Thus
far no active campaign by these gentle
men has been begun in this county, but
it is understood that before the election
this Fall the county will be thoroughly
canvassed.
In speaking of the Anti-Saloon work
DR.. Hare said:
''The purpose of the Anti-Saloon
League is to have State wide prohibi-
tion and that is the end to which we are
working at present l have been away
for about one month at my home in
Washington and just returned to the
State few days ago.

traffic in the State.
81 have been down in Colleton county
forming an Anti-Dispensary League
and we are going to try and put the
dispensary out of that county. And |
think that when the elections comes off
that we will win. AS you know there
are very few counties in the State that
have the dispensary law. Our fight
will mainly be the blind tigers in the
cities. They are doing the greatest
harm possible at present. l am going
to get an assistant superintendent for
Mr. Harley as soon as am able to find
man. Another thing, too, we will Sc
cure the service of an attorney in the
near future for the purpose of prose
cutting our cases and then tell you the
war will commence in earnest on the
tigers. ,"
