ANNUAL MEETING
OF STOCKHOLDERS
Enterprise Bank and Home Trust Co.
Stockholders Receive Excellent Re-
ports from Officers. Work on Glass
Factory Being Pushed.


The annual meeting of the stock
hol 'crs OF various enterprises in and
around Laurens show that the year
1910 was banner year for the city.
The statement of dividends published
some time ago in The Advertiser
showed that all of the. Laurens con
Germs are in a flourishing condition,
In addition to the statements already
published reports from the Home
Trust company and the Enterprise
Bank and also the latest enterprise
in l.aurcns, the glass factory, give
additional proof that 1910 WAS n good
year and that 1911 Will be even bet
ter.
The stockholders of the Enterprise
Bank held their annual meeting last
week and the report of the officers rs
to the condition of the bank was high
ly encouraging. AZ this meeting It was
decided to transfer $5,0OO,O0 from the
un,iviicG Profits to the surplus, thus
making total of $50 10000 as the
banks surplus. The report was in
every way satisfactory and the stock
holders elected the same directors for
the ensuing year.
The Home Trust Co.
The Home Trust Co. also held it's
annual meeting of stockholders last
week. AT this meeting it WAS an
nounced that asemi-annual dividend
of per cent would be declared and
made payable on February 1st a
resolution was also passed instruct;ng
the !reCto,s to sell the remaining
$25 600 90 Of capital stock. which will
make the total capital of this concern
$50 10000. This stock will be placed
on the market at once and bids for
tt will be received up until February
1st. The general report of the Of
ficers showed that remarkable pro-
gress had been made and that every
thing was in good shape. The fact
that it is only six months old and al
ready declaring a ten per cent divi-
dend is sufficient proof that the com
pany is in fine condition. The same
directors were reelected for 1911

THEATERS
HAS INTERESTING PLOT.
Story Of "A German Prince" i'm Which
Wilson is Starring.

Story Of "A German Prince" i'm Which
Wilson is Starring.
Al. III. Wilson, the German dialect
comedian, i'm his new singing comedy,
"A German Prince" will be the at
traction at the Calumet theater next
Monday evening
The story tells of an impoverished
prince of the German Empire who,
through the schemes of an American
speculator, becomes involved in a
matrimonial alliance with an aged
heiress who is anxious to exchange her
dollars for a title. After the engage
ment, however, he realizes that the
alliance is not to his liking, and in
his efforts to free himself resorts to
the ruse of having himself drowned in
the river Rhine, appearing later as
his foster brother. In this disguise he
is employed by "a young and pretty
American girl as guide for herself and
friends throughout Germany, and dis
covers that his old fiance is a member
of the party. He experiences consid-
cradle difficulty in keeping up his
false position, and the resulting COM
plications are many and humorous.
The character Of the Prince suits
Mr.. Wilson better than any of the
roles he has assumed in other plays
which is saying considerable. or "A
German Prince" he has composed sew
oral captivating songs, among which
is the great success MY Queen Of
Dreams" Manager Ellis has provided
an excellent supporting company and
provided stage settings and electrical
effects that are said to be the most
elaborate ever shown in "A Wilson pro-
duction.

REUNION OF WAR VETS
MAY BE HID AT 500

The annual reunion of the Spanish
War Veterans of Michigan may be
held at the 500; i'm fact. it depends
on the action to be taken by the coun-
Gil and the townspeople relative to
providing ways and means for their
entertainment, says the 500 News.
In a communication to the council
Brigadier General Bates stated that
the veterans would hold their annual
reunion in July; that they We're 1900
strong in the state, and that from a
personal investigation that he had
made between 700 and 500 would at
tend the meeting If held in the 500.
The expense of entertainment, esti-
mated at about $500 would have to be
taken care of by subscriptions, and he
asked that the city start the ball roll
ing with an appropriation. Aldermen
Lapish, Moher and Vanderhook form
a special committee to investigate and
report on the matter at the next reg
ular meeting of the council.

fight UPON EVIL POST
CARDS TO BE STATE WIDE

A campaign has been started to
clean up the sale of picture post
cards of questionable character and de-
sign throughout the state. Literature
on the issue has been received and the
battle proper has begun. Not that
local dealers handle this brand of
cards, but the object I'm working I'm
cities where they are not sold is to
prevent their being ordered.
Mrs. Mary Mckee. founder and
matron for the Mckee home for Girls.
Is back of the movement. She has
begun her work by seeking advice
from the attorney general who says
there is plenty of law already in force
on the subject and she will now work
through agents in the different cities
seeing that the law is enforced.
Many of the post cards in some
cities today have double meaning,
but there can really be but one mean
ing for most of them. These cards
would be damaging evidence against
the morals of any dealers in them,
even though they might not be suffi-
GENTLY lascivious of character to land
the vendors i'm jail.
The literature says it is a fact that
picture post cards of questionable char
acter can be secured for the asking
from many dealers, while in some
cases it is not necessary because the
cards are spread invitingly before the
purchaser on the counter. Mrs. Nc
Kee proposes to see that the business
is stopped.

1t is feared that the Plymouth
owned schooner Holly How. a Barrow
in F'urness has foundered off Lands
End. A thrilling story of the rescue
of the crew of five was narrated at
Newlyn on Friday afternoon on the
arrival of the steam drifted Arimathea,
with the sailers on board. The men had
ing, and they owe their lives to the
skillful seamanship of the skipper of
the Arimathea.
The Holly How was in distress
about As miles n. N. e. of Lands End,
when the Arimathea hove in sight, and
quickly bore down on the schooner 1t
was discovered that the Holly How
was leaking very badly, and had lost
her rudder head
There was a heavy sea running. and
under great difficulty the two ships got
into communication. The skipper of
the Arimathea was informed of the
perious plight of the schooner. and af-
ter several unavailing efforts a rope
was at length passed on board the
drifter from the Holly How An at
tempt was made to tow the schooner.
but the rope parted. 1t was feared that
the vessel could not keep afloat, and
the crew decided to abandon her. This
was found to be no easy task owing to
the rough sea, and it was under cir
cumstances of great difficulty and
danger that each man of the five was
hauled through the sea to the deck Of
the Arimathea.
In order to effect the rescue the
drifter was brought close up to the
stern of the sinking ship. and the skip
per and crew of the Arimathea de-
serve the utmost credit for the way
they handled their ship, and went to
the assistance of the men i'm distress.
rope was fastened to each man in
turn, then he sprang overheard into the
sea, and was quickly pulled through
the boisterous waves.
The Arimathea stood by the Holly
How during the night, but when day
light broke nothing was to be seen
of the schooner, and in all probability
she foundered.
The rescued crew of the Holly How
were taken ashore at Newlyn and well
cared for. The ship was built at Ber-
wick i'm 1866, and was of 80 tons reg
lister She was owned by Mr.. w. Bur-
goyne. of Z, Brunswick terrace, Ply

At these mines they would find num-
