it out OF him. Like Kipling's light

A Little Chat with David Dudley Field
(6y e J. Edwards.)

Probably the foremost law reformer OF mod
ern times was David Dudley Field. brother OF the
Field OF Atlantic cable fame and of Justice Ste
phen J. Field OF the United States Supreme
Court. For forty years OF his long life-which
began In 1905 and ended eighty-nine years later
he devoted the greater part OF his time 10 the
reform OF the law. To-day his system OF civil
procedure is in force in most OF the States OF the
Union and is the basis OF the reformed procedure
established in England in 1873 His influence in
the law OF to-day is as great the influence OF
his brother Cyrus in the field OF world communi-
cation.

Show. Ar. McCuen stated that a plan
was put on foot to send a delegation
of thirty men of South Carlina to the
Corn Show. This delegation will go
in special car decorated with pal
metto leaxes and other South Caro-
lima emblems. A. ID. Hudson, OF New
berry. will head the delegation and
formally invite the Corn Show to meet
in Columbia next year.
Here is the point. Laurens county
should have one man, or more, in this
delegation. 1t was proposed at that
meeting Monday, that volunteer be
called on from each county to go
along and mixing pleasure with pro-
fit. pull for the interests of his State.
He is to pay his own expenses. esti-
mated to be around $50. He is to be
the official representative of his coun-
ty and to see that the claims OF his
county are put forward at the Corn
Show. This volunteer is wanted from
some section of Laurens county.
Doubtless several would want to go
and these are wanted as the official
representatives. Now, the name Of
this volunteer is wanted by the Cham.
ber OF Commerce of Laurens. Any
one who will rluuteer to go and rep
resent this county is requested to
send in his name to Gee. McCuen at
once that the proper appointment may
he made. III the name Is sent to this
Office, we will see to II that il goes
to the proper place.
This is very important matter and
it is hoped that some progressive man
of Laurens county Will put in his name
to go. Send it in now. Its going to
be fine trip.
