Glee Club Entertainment.

The Wofford College Glee Club enter
tanned a large audience in the city
opera house last Tuesday night in a
very delightful manner with songs, in
strumental music and readings. The
college has reason to be proud of it's
representatives who are making tour
of the State, for their appearance is
welcomed and the class of entertain
ment furnished is among the best of
college productions.
The performance here was of special
interest in that Mr.. w. B. Garrett, a
Laurens county boy, is the manager of
the club and also taking part in the pro-
gram as reader and singer. The club
pleased the audience in very acccpta-
bic manner.

The Court House Improvement.

Rumors have been heard on the
streets that the county would spend
about SIS, 900 on repairing and remodel,
ling the court house. Supervisor Hum
bert stated yesterday that he knew
nothing of this and that thus far the
county had no intention of making any
great improS ement. He said, however,
that he was doing some necessary re-
pair work; putting in some new win
dows and replacing rotten mouldings.
To remodel the building, he said, it
would be necessary for the Legislature
to order an increase in the tax levy OF
a special levy for that purpose, neither
of which has been done.

Men for the Legislature.

AS long as men are sent to the Legis
lature we cannot see beyond the turn of
the road, whose vision is bounded bv
township or county lines, who do not
think except in narrow circle of sell
fish purposes, little good is to be ex-
pected from their deliberations. There
is one way and one way only of lifting
the State out of the slough into which
1T has fallen: Every county in the State
should send its best and wisest men to
the Legislature, not this man because
he IS 1.-THE poor mans friend" about
election times, nor that man because he
represents the factional interests of his
neighborhood, but the best and most in
telligentmen who could take broad
view of political and industrial questions
in the interest of the general public
Issues are only important whenmen are
chosen who can meet them. News and

by not telling his accustomed number of

reform, drainage, currency reform,
Wall Street and States rights. Con-

said:
"As an asprant for the seat in the

JUDGMENT TAKEN
in BOND CASE.
Bondsman of Will Higgins and Roy Hun.
ter Required TO Pay $1,000

At the term of court for this county,
held last week, judgment was taken
by the Solicitor against Mr.. M. B.
Poole, the large planter of Scuffletown
township, in the sum of $4,000 which
jointly represents the amount of the
bond signed by Mr.. Poole in which Will
Higgins and Roy Hunter, colored, were
held pending an appeal of the case to
the Supreme Court, they having been
convicted of assault and battery with
intent to kill and given four years
each at the September 1907 court. The
Supreme Court refused to grant new
trial. Before the next term of the
Laurens court Higgins and Hunter had
fled and are still fugitives from the
State, although efforts have been made
to apprehend them. Information was
received here last week to the effect
that Hunter died two weeks ago in the
State of Indiana. Of course proof of
his death will be necessary before his
bondSman can be released.

in writing to the undersigned any and
all trouble they have with their tclc-
phones, any impolitCncss or discoWicsy
on the part of the employees Of the
company, and also any poor or incili-

agcmcnt of the company for subscrib-

hands of the employees and get incni-

management about it and then go
around in public places abusing the
Telephone Company when the MANAGE
mcnt is perfectly ignorant Of their
troubles. Telephones are very dclIcatc
instruments and it often happens that
a connection will work loose and some
times small wire will get broken and
give trouble. If the subscribers will
notify the manager in writing we will
take pleasure in removing the trouble.
If we are left in ignorance of such con
ditions it is possible that days and weeks
may pass before the trouble is discoy-

arc not getting it we will see that they
do get it or know the reason why.

to get farmers to hold their cotton for
higher prices, although it may he said
that he seems to have appreciated the
