Regard For Former Citizen.

Yesterday afternoon Messrs Chas
III. Highley ana S. NJ Wilson of the
Chas. II. Highley Audit company Of
Augusta, Ga. were visitors in Lau-
rens, their appearance in the city
being of more than ordinary interest
on account of the fact that these two
experts examined the books and &C
counts of John Y. Darlington and ].
Stobo Young. and testified in the re-
cent trial at Columbia i'm which
Messrs Darlington and Young were
convicted Messrs Highley and Will
son were guests at the Masonic ban
quet last night
In the course Of a conversation with
The Advertiser reporter, Mr.. Highley
said that he had heard the report that
Darlington and Young had lost the
esteem of all their home people and
that they could not come back to their
old home here.
But said he, 81 am conviced other

noticed the many prominent men who
have cordially greeted MIR. Darlington
and have heard the many expressions
OF esteem and confidence on every
hand. | am impressed with what
have seen; my high regard for Mr.
Darlington has been confirmed Ac-
cording to my audit and in my opinion
as an expert the Seminole Securities
company still owes Mr.. Darlington
$4,000 in stock and ! am convinced
that there was no Misrepresentation
of funds
Mr.. Highley stated that he had come
to Laurens for no other purpose than
to find out for himself just how the
people here regarded Darlington and
how they would receive him after his
conviction in Columbia. During the
afternoon, both Highley and Wilson
were accorded invitation to the Ma
sonic banquet at the armory last night.
Mr. Darlington, who is a member of
the local chapter also attended the

FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF COURT HOUSE
Petition Circulated For An Appropri.
alton OF $4,000 10 Remodel Lau-
rcnS Court Building.

Through tlie efforts of several pro-
gresSire citizens movement has been
set afoot to secure an appropriation
from the county funds, through n spe-
cial act of the Legislature. for the i'm
provement of the court house i'm L.au-
renS. In order To secure this petitions
Will have to be placed in the hands of
ton to the legislature and the matter
may be gotten through.
Messrs H. *. Aiken and j. B. Brooks
in conference with Attorney II. L.
Babb, it is understood. will draw nm
the paper and the petition will be
circulated today These papers will
be forwarded to Senator Wharton and
he will employ his best efforts to have
the matter acted upon. The intention
is either to get small bond issue. or
an extra tax for the purpose, or to
nave the amount required, possibly
$4,000 taken from the county fund.
There has been much discussion in
l.aurenS county as to the improving
or the removal of the court housc
Many believe that the county should
sell the present site in the center of
town and build a new, modern struc-
ture in some other portion of the
city. Others think that Il new build
ing should be erected on the present
site; some think that the present
building can be so rcmodcled and i'm
proved as To be n credit to the county
and by this method the county could
be saved considerable sum of money.
And this last seems to be the most
popular idea and it is to this end the
petitioners will work.
The petition vii be forwarded to
Senator Wharton at an early date and
1T Is hoped that he will secure the nee
essary legislation. How the other
members of the delegation stand on
the matter is not known; there has not
been sufficient time to confer with
them all.
