and Is not personally, by right of resi-
dence, interested In the education of
the children of that district he, not
only morally, but legally has nothing
to do with 1t. He Is like all other
city land owners: they btgin to
squeal when their pocketbooks are
touched and they don't get the bene-
fit.
Therefore the only shadow of a
plausible reason for the turning down
of the petition of the Sullivan and
Dnnklfn township residents by the
Greenville County Board Is the quot
ed reason of member of the
board himself and it is no rea-
son at all. 1t follows: "The
simple reason that Greenville coun-
ty could not afford to sacrifice
her own school interests in that sec
tion of the county to the upbuilding of
school in Laurens county" What
the Board should have done was to
grant the petition and said that Green
VILE county could not by a narrow
policy, sacrifice the future happiness
and prosperity of her children in an
effort to throttle a third rate school
upon a first rate people in the mean
endeavor to save rew dollars which
should be spent anyhow to build a
new building in her own county and
thus give her own children better ad-
vantages both within and without the
county
If by cutting off this strip of Dunk
lin township it would only leave nine
square miles in Columbia district, it
seems to us as If it would be a real
school, which is in no wise credit to
such a county as Greenville, remove
it to a more central location, do the
same thing to the other school in the
district and then combine the two
into such school as the district
might be proud of. Greenville county
would not be the loser; she would be
the one to get the larger advantage.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Those who have had some doubt
as TO whether Laurens County could
start a successful county fair should
read what prominent farmers, stock
men and business men all over the
county say about the project. All OF
them are heartily in favor of the fair
and with the support that is promised
1t can be nothing but success. 1t
Will be noted with pleasure, by those
who have the success of the fair at
heart, that in number of the letters
the educational feature is stressed
more than others and that no mention
is made Of amusements to support
the project with. This almost alone
guarantees such splr;; that will sure
ly make the fair success.

THE BOOSTERS CLUB.

y step i'm the right direction was
taken Thursday afternoon when the
young men" Of the city gathered in
the Armory TO form Boosters Club.
While. for different very good reasons.
no great amount OF enthusiasm was
shown after the meeting was called to
order, the very fact that such a large
body of men gathered together on such
short notice is proof that the people
here are ambitious for their city and
are anxious to see it forge to the
front and are willing to aid i'm the
work OF doing II. Better results have
been accomplished at other initial
meetings but the spirit of progress
was shown and that is the prime ne
cessity in boosting a town and for our
part, we thought the meeting sue.
cess.
The field for the Boosters Club is
unlimited. We have here county
seat with possibilities far vaster than
many another more hustling city. We
could get together and, by boosting
our town and boosting the people i'm
1T, start the wheels of progress going
so that nothing could stop them. If
we could once get the people aroused
TO a realization of the city's advantage
es and possibilities the road to sue
cess after that would be easy. The
Boosters Club could do great deal
in starting this movement and, in con-
nectlon with the Chamber Of Com
merce, keep 1t going. The field of
advertising our city belongs to, the
younger ones, while that of actual de-
veloping belongs to the older ones,
those who have the means. And speak
ing of means, all the boosting that all
the boosting clubs could do from now
until the crack of doom wouldn't do
any good without something else was
done to follow 1t uD. We have got to
blow some and then do some and then
blow again and then keep doing. We
have to advertise what we have got
and then produce the goods.
To our mind there occurs two things
that the boosters could and should
turn their attention. The first. and that
of prime importance now, is to keep
what trade we are already getting

from our own immediate district, re-
gain some Of that which we have lost
and go out after that which has never
come here. A great deal of the trade
which ought to come to Laurens goes
elsewhere. One or two firms of this
city are working single handed, 1t
must be said to their credit, tryingNo
bring this trade to Laurens. If they
should let up with their efforts In this
direction. the city would lose even
more OF the trade which Is naturally
hers. The other thing that the boos-
ters could undertake is the matter of
bringing more people here. We con-
slider this of secondary Importance to
the first. for IL we can carry the first
idea through to q successful end the
people in many instances will come
here themselves. But although the
people are bound to come where the
trade is brisk, nevertheless we will
have to do more to make 1t brisk. We
can bring more industries here. We
though. We will have to contribute
something towards getting them here.
The boosters can do the advertising
and the Chamber of Commerce should
do the rest.
The Boosters Club is in no wise in
tended to take over any of the work
OF the Chamber of Commerce. What
the Boosters Club intends to do is to
be in addition to the work of the
Chamber of Commerce. In fact II
would be, in our opinion, a very fine
idea If every member of the Boosters
Club should become a member of the
Chamber of Commerce. One thing that
the Boosters Club ought to do is to
urge all the business men of the city
to become members of the Chamber
of Commerce. Some have suggested
that the Boosters Club become part
of the Chamber of Commerce, sort of
sub-Organization so to speak. OF course
it could not do so without the Chamber
of Commences consent, but we are
quite sure that they would be glad to
receive the Boosters within their
fold
We hope that this movement to
stretch out and get more business for
the merchants here will not be taken
as an impracticable plan. 1t is prac-
tical and only those who are back
numbers, moss backs and quitters will
say that it is. We can do if we will.
Let us all get together and support
the Boosters Club and the Chamber
of Commerce and If we do nothing else
we will have the consolation of know
ing that we have tried

SUGGESTS TRADE DAY.
An Idea Suggested by Mr.. c. III. Hicks
to Start the Ball ArOlling for Get
ting More Trade for Laurens.

to Start the Ball Arolling for Get
ting More Trade for Laurens.
Mr.. c. II. Hicks has made the first
suggestion by which the Laurens mer-
chants can commence 10 boost their
trade. In the letter below, addressed
to the Secretary of the Boosters Club,
Mr.. Hicks outlines a plan for cam
paign to start things coming this way.
AS 1t is such a valuable suggestion, 1t
will doubtless meet the approval Of
all the merchants in the city and the
trade days.
Here is the letter:
To the Sec'y. of Boosters Club.
Laurens, S. c..
Dear Sir: I wish to submit to you
TRADE DAY SCHEME" for Lau-
rcns to be used at intervals to suit
the merchants of the town. | have
seen this plan worked with great sue
cess in other towns therefore you see
1t is not Originally and | do not see
why 1t would not prove q success here.
The scheme is as follows:
Upon the agreement of the mer-
chants of the town one day in each
month, or less frequent If thought
best, be set apart as a TRADE DAY
which is advertised in the mos fcas-
ible and successful way through one
body, say the Chamber of Commerce,
and as an induccment to bring people
here agree through the Chamber of
Commerce to pay expenses of travel
ana notel b!ll for the day (or any 9TH
er place they might prefer to enter
tain themJ To offset this expense
the condition is that the party is to
trade stipulated amount, same to be
agreed upon by the merchants. for
cash. The merchant or merchants
who receives the trade furnishes the
customer with receipt for the amount
traded and he i'm turn carries this re-
ceipt to the Secretary of Chamber of
Commerce or some one designated
and collects all or part of his ex-
penses according to amount traded.
The expense is then charged to the
account of Merchants traded with
proportionately."
This scheme may not seem practic-
able and might not work successfully.
| only offer it for consideration
