One is startled, almost, upon recalling that the
Spanish-American War, our latest conflict, is now
ten years in history.
Because of their experiences in camp and
s6eld. the men Of 61 and 90 can never lose their
interest in the fighting men OF to-day. Whatever
appertains TO the welfare or advancement of our
army and navy finds sympathetic advocates from

Few names appeal more strongly to the vet
erans of two wars, and to the American soldier
and sailor of to-day, than that of Miss Helen

by personal service she has demonstrated her great
interest in the two armed branches Of our national
defense; she is widely known as the woman who

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The Chamber of Commerce of the
city holds its annual meeting tomorrow,
Thursday, June 18th. Secretary Nc
Cuen requests full attendance as
strong effort for some forward and ag-
gressivc work will be made
Just one year ago this body was or
ganized for the purpose of unifying in
divldual efforts, consolidating energies
and concentrating them upon the growth
and upbuilding of our city. The bust
ness men recognized the fact that there
must be unity of effort if this work
should be accomplished; that no one
man could materially advance the inter
ests of the city; but that concerted eff
fort could work wonders. The purpose
in organizing the Chamber Of Com
merce was to bring the scattered ener-
gies together and marshal them into an
active, operating force for the advance
ment of every branch Of the city's life.
At the meeting tomorrow the time
would be opportune for review of the
past years work; summing up and
stock taking. What has the Chamber
Of Commerce accomplished? Now there
NAV be some of our peonle who tbrouob
lack of information or merely from the
habit Of knocking, would at once an
swer. nothing. We would beg those
to investigate or to put up their ham
mers, as the case might be. The Cham
Der of Commerce has ACCOMPLISHED
something: there is no man in I,anrens
who can know Just how much or how
little; some results of their work are
not visible and some of their activities
have not fructified vet, but are still in
process.
Now, the point we would stress here
is that we should make the next wars
work surpass that of tho veor iuot ,,ono
Right here, citizens of Laurens tbe
writer wishes to remark that he 10 ae-
surcd of the sympathy and endorsement
of the people of the city who. he is CON
fident, are thoroughly convinced of the
spirit that actuates his active interest
in affairs pertaining to the public good.
With this assurance he has no hesitancv
in bringing matters of public concern
before the readers of this paper Re-
turning to the subject, we repeat that
during the coming year the Chamber of
Commerce should strive for a closer or
ganization and put forth greater effort
for the good of our city. That would
come under the general laws of growth
and progress: tendencies arc backward
if not forward. Such an organization
as our commercial body could be made
the greatest of all forces in pushing the
enlargement and growth of this citv.
Every man in Laurens should be a mem
ber and an active member too. Half
hearted support to any enterprise does
not count for much in these strenuous
days.
There never could be better time
for the Chamber of Commerce to pet in
some very effective work than RIGHT
NOw. If we are at all capable of in
terpreting signs, ofEreading aripht the
tendencies Of time and the trend of
events, NOW is the time in our citv.
We have the possibilities here of be-
coming great COMMERCIAL and IN
DUSTRIAL CITY. There is one wav:
uniting efforts and concentrating forces.
The spirit of growth and Improvement
has taken hold here and all it needs is
proper handling. Note the amount Of
money J eing spent here right now
