from his second trip to Tibet.
During a part of his journey,
says the Sphere. he went dis
ruised az a common Ladakhi,
his hands and face stained. and
clad in ragged clothes. In
reality he played the part of an
inferior servant, and was known
as Hail Bula. DIR. Hedin had
several narrow escapes, but his

ELECTION COMMISSIONERS.
Gov. AnSeI Appoints Federal and State
commissioners for Laurens.

News has been received here of the
appointment of the election commits
SlonerS for the on-cOming elections in
November. AS is known, there are
two sets of commissioners appointed,
for the Federal election and for the
State. The appointments are made by
the governor, generally upon the rec
ommendatiOn of the county delegations
to the General Assembly, although ac-
cordlng to law the delegations are not
required to make these nominations.
Governor AnScl wrote the I.aurcns del
egatlon requesting that they recon-
mend the SIX names to be aODOintCd
This request was granted, but from Il
member of the delegation il is learned
that the recommendations of the dele
CATION were not accepted altogether as
TO the State commissioners, and others
than those named We're appointed The
action OF the governor has caused some
comment, and it is understood some
dissatisfaction among the delegation, in
that they made recommendation unon
the request of the governor and not i'm
compliance of their regular duties.

ANNUAL REUNION
COUNTY VETERANS
Second Meeting Of All Sur
ViVOrS Held.
OVER 100 PRESENT.
Many Matters of Interest Passed Upon.
Elegant Barbecued Dinner Given
at the Park,

The second annual reunion of the
I'aurens county survivors of the Con-
federate army was held in Laurens last
Saturday. About 120 veterans, repre-
Scnting the different camps of the
county, were present for the occasion,
many being kept away on account Of
bridges being down and other causes.
The business meeting of the reunion
association was held in the court house
during the morning. In the absence of
X. n. Cunningham, colonel of the Lau-
rcns regiment, Col. T. B. Crews was
sailed to the chair, with Judge O. G.
thompson at his post as secretary
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. J. d. Crout, of the First Meth
odiSt church.
Various committee reports were sub
mitted, including the proposition made
year ago that monument be erected
to the memory of the women of the
Confcderacy. Upon motion a commit
tee was appointed to confer with the
Laurens Daughters of the Confederacy
who are undertaking to raise a fund
for the purpose of erecting monument
to the memory of the Laurens Confed-
crate soldiers with the view of consol-
dating the efforts Of the two associa-
tons and jointly erect monument for
both the women and men of Laurens
who had a part in the memorable strug-
gle of lS6l-65.
This disposed of contribution was
made for the purpose of having the
house of Veteran Jacob Burton, of
Waterloo, recovered. Mr. Burton is
an invalid and his wife is blind and
helpless.
At this juncture Miss Gertrude
Wright, of the city, was introduced to
the assembled veterans and she rected
beautifully and effectively the famed
Confederate poem, ''The Phantom
Host.
Secretary Thompson read letters from
Col. O. i. Schumpert, of Newberry,
and Col j. N. Brown, of Anderson,
rcgretting their inability to be present
and address the Laurens veterans on
this occasion.
On motion resolution was adopted
calling on the incoming legislative dele
cation from LaurenS to use their infu-
cnce in securing the removal of the age
restriction on all widows of Confederate
soldiers who are otherwise entitled to a
pension. In this connection Capt. j. M.
lIudgenS made brief talk explaining
the pension laws of the State
At the conclusion the meeting all as
scmblcd repaired to the park, where a
bountiful barbecue dinner was served
and greatly enjoyed.

MOUNTVILLE HAS
VERY FINE SCHOOL.
Record of Nine Years Shows Splendid
Progress -aSession Opens
Next Monday.

Mountville Sept. Ii. The Mountvillc
school will begin its next session next
Monday, 2l inst. The teachers are w.
I. Culbcrtson, Misses Marie Stok es,
frankie Culbcrtson, and Mary f. Mar
tin. That the people of Mountville are
interested in their school is shown by
the improvements they Fare making
from year to year. We have known
this people and school for nine years.
Nine years ago they had one teacher
and one school room. The school house
was standing on a two acre lot neither
of which was owned by the district.
During these years this property has
been purchased and improved and to-
day we have four room building, four
teachers, two nice little libraries of
over two hundred volumes, we'll, organ
and other equipments. A High School
has been established under a recent act
which, in the efficiency of the work
done last session, stood second among
similar schools in the county. Hardly
a year passes but that the people make
some Improvement or advancement in
their school. But the improvements
must continue because the equipment is
10 no means what it sould be and there
Is still ample room for advancement
along other lines. But unless the
people prove themselves otherwise than
what they have been the good work
will be kept up. 1t is expected that
the work accomplished during next scs-
sion will, i'll point of efficiency and
thoroughness, exceed that of any pre-
ViOuS year.
Mr.. VIM. Wertz, man of eighty
three years, has been quite sick of
fever for three weeks. We are sorry
to state that there is yet no signs of
Improvement.
Mr.. w. p. Culbertson attended the
Educational Rally at Laurcns Friday,
and several of our people were there

The Woman's Missionary Union Of
the Lawcns baptist Association met
With the Chestnut Ridge church on
Tuesday and Wednesday Of last week.
The attendance was splendid. About
twenty of the Societies in the Associa-
Llon were represented. A very forccful
missionary sermon was preached by Rev.
w. f.. Thayer. 1t was our great pleas
urc to have with us on the first day Rev.
Mr.. Piani, whose talk was an inspiration
to the audience. On the second day Mrs.
Wingo, the new president of this division
was with us. She completely won the
hearts of the ladies by her sweet, gentle
spirit. A report Of something over
81, 500 was made for missions, together
with a liberal contribution to other OBJ
iects from both Societies and Bands
The present officers were re- elected. A
deepening of interest and spirit is evil
dent in these meetings. The next meet
ing will be held with the Waterloo Bap-
tisL church in 1909.
