again and again, voice that seemed
to reach to him from out of an intinity
of distance and that he knew was the
voice of Meleese.
The voice died away. He lived
through a cycle of speechless, painless
night into which finally a CLEAN of
dawn returned. He felt as if years
were passing in his efforts TO move, TO
lift himself out of chaos. But at last
he won. His eyes opened, he raised
himself. His first sensation was that
he was no longer in the snow and that
the storm was not beating into his
face. Instead there encompassed him
a damp dungeOn-like chill. Every
where there was blackness - every
where except in one spot, where lit
tie yellow eye of fire watched him and
blinked at him. At first he thought
that the eye must be miles and miles
away. But il came quickly nearer and
still nearer until at last he knew that
it was a candle burning with the s.
Ience Of a death taper yard or two
beyond his feet.

The presence OF the dog filed the

A LAURENS BOYS FOhRTH.

Arden, n, c.. July 10th, 1911.
Editor Laurens Advertiser:
VIII. you please allow me space in
your valuable paper for few words
as | am q native of Laurens County.
l. desire to tell my friends in Laurens
County how we spent the Fourth of
July here. AS we read the different
papers and see how it was spent all
over the country, and how many
fights, killings, and drunks there were
we think ours was We'll spent.
This Is the way we spent our Clio
rious Fourth: We have a good Bap-
tist Sunday School at Skyland. one
and one-half miles from Arden, OF
which 1 am member and attend reg
ularly, Me invited The Salvation
Army Of Asheyille, out to spend the
day with us, and must say 1t was
the best Fourth Of my life. We all
carried dinner and spent the day. My
wife fixed me up nice basket. We
met at nine-thirty and had in attend
ahCc tudu ilNe people.
IL there was a single .irop of LIQUOR on
the grounds, we failed to see the ef-
fects of 1t. and we spent the day most
pleasantly mingling with these good
people listening to the preceding and
testifying, and helping them sing.
When the dinner hour arrived we all
went out and spread our good dinner
under the beautiful oaks, and 1t was
my pleasure to be one OF the number
to see that every child (especially)
had something to eat. for we had fam
lies with US that had no dinner to
bring. and II made our hearts glad to
feed these little mountain children
who had come out to celebrate The
Glorious Fourth with us.
When dinner was served. It being so

THE ESSAY CONTEST WILL CLOSE SATURDAY
All School Children Who Intend Participating in the
Cemetery Essay Contest Should Have Their Essays
in The Advertiser Office Before Saturday Nuht

Only a few more days remain be-
lore the close of the contest for the
prizes offered by Tho Advertiser to
the school children OF Laurens for
the best essays on the improvements
recently made at the CITY Cemetery.
Several essays are already in the Of
flee Of the Contest Editor, but we
would like to see many more. DO not
let the last few days pass without
making an effort to win one ot the
cash prizes
In order to bring to the attention of
the public the transformation which
has been brought about in the Lau-
rens Cemetery during the past few
months and particularly to interest
the rising gentration in this most com
mendable work, The Advertiser offers
the following prizes to pupils of the
city graded schools:
To the successful contestant, boy
or girl, between the ages of II and
10 years, So; between 10 and ~ years.
SO; under 10 years, So.
The contest will consist of filling in
the blank spaces in the article printed
below; and each contestant must have
his or her essay in the hands of the
Contest Editor, Laurens Advertiser"
Laurens. S. c., by noon of July
18th. The printed portion will
be copied in the handwriting of the
contestant and the part filled in will
be similarly written. Essays will be
written on but one side of each sheet
of paper and will be signed, not with
the names of the contestants but, with
nomS de plume or secret signs; and
accompanying each such essay. will
be separate sealed envelope in which
will be a statement of the said nom
de plume or sign together with the
contestants real name, age and street
address. The letter conveying this
information will also contain a GER
titicate to the effect that, with the ex-
ception of discussion and general ad-
vice, the contestant received no as
sistance from any one--that is to say.
that the language as well as the
thoughts expressed are in fact tht con-
testant's own rather than those of any
older person.
In considering the relative merit of
che essays offered in the several age
classes, due weight VIII be given to
handwriting, style, neatness, etc.. but
the greatest stress Of all will be laid
on the accuracy of statement Of the
several contestants, the originality
and apparent spontaneity displayed
and most especially the real worth
Of the subject matter itself.
No business conditions whatever are
attached to this offer; and it can be
confidently expected that, even should
there be but one contestant in each
age class, the pr:zes will be
promptly awarded exactly as stated.
1t is believed, however, that the con
testants will be very numerous; and.
in the event that there should be
tie in any case, preference will be
given to the contestant whose essay
was first received-a record being
maintained for that purpose.
Here is the essay, the blank spaces

Packing 10 its capacity the Colo
nial Theatre and singing with right
good Will their old battle hymn "An-

townspeople witnessed the famous
Army-Nayy game all over again on
Saturday afternoon.
The game was played over for the

moving picture man kept grinding on
his machine the crowd in the theatre
enjoyed every moment Of the"play."
With the middies present singing
all over again their songs and letting
out an occasional cheer, all that was
needed to make the affair absolutely
real was a little bit of "vocal encour-
agement" and noise from the West
Point stands.
The whole proceeding in connection
with the game from the time the
crowd began to surge through the
gates of Franklin Field until the mid
dies had done the snake dance over
the battle ground, were shown in de-
tail And when the scene of Jack

brought the bacon back to the shores
Of the Severn was shown the house
