STORAGE BATTERIES ELECTRIC CARS
WANTED ON c. < ". c. RAILWAY

There has been considerable dis
satisfaction. along the c. & w. C. Ry.
Between Srartanburg and Laurens
over the new schedule on this road
80 far as it affects facilities for get
ing into Spartanburg during the
morning. Under the old schedule the
train from that direction arrived
at Spartanburg at 10 a. m, but under
the new schedule this was put back
to 12:40 p. m. This made it too late
for people having business in Spar
tanburg during the morning and
makes it necessary for them to come
here the day before and spend the
night here. There is much complaint
as to this from Woodruff.
Secretary John Wood Of the cham
ber of commerce and also of the coun-
ty board of trade has made a sugges-
tion to General Manager Anderson,
which he has under consideration and
which, if adopted, would remedy the
complaint as to this part of the sched-
ule. That is, that storage battery
electric car be employed to make two
or more round trips day from f,norec
or possibly from Laurens to Spartan
burg. This is not n gas-electric car,
but a storage battery car These
have come into quite general use and
are declared by electrical engineers

Corn Club Boys Notice.

Supt. of Education Geo. L. Pitts is
preparing to send out pledges to the
schools Of the county so that those
who wish to join the Laurens County
Corn Club can do So Mr.. Pitts is
confidently expecting that a large
number of the boys will join the club
this year and that splendid show
ing viii be made, The corn crop was
not as good as 1t could have been last
year. and consequently the yields were
not record breakers. Mr.. Pitts hopes,
however, that last years small yield
vii not defer the young fellows from
trying even harder this year. The
teachers are urged to have the young
follows to join the club.

Absorbing Picture Today.

Manager Lavender has arranged for
this afternoon and tonight one of the
most absorbing picture reels that he
has yet shown The picture will be
something out OF the ordinary as it
deals with vital question Of the Grad
ication of disease. Mr.. Lavender states
that it is a very expensive picture,
but that he is able to show it to try
IL out for the film company They wish
to see how it takes. "The Awakening
of John Bond" is the title of it and it
deals with the crusade against con-
sumption. 1t might be stated that the
circulars distributed possibly gave
the idea that the picture was intended
for Newberry. In fact, it is intended
to be shown at Newberry, but will be
shown here also. The prices are the
same, and 10 cents.

ious to SO arrange his schedules that
the patrons Of the road may have the
best possible service all round, and
he is considering this suggestion.
Just what practical objections there
may be to 1t is not known.
The present schedule on the G. a.
w. c. is Objectionable to Spartanburg
only in one respect mentioned, but
it is Objectionable at other points on
the line for other reasons. There
is complaint about it at Greenwood
and some at Augusta. Mr.. Anderson,
however, wishes to give the shedule
fair trial before making any chang
es in it,
MIR. Wood urged upon Mr. Ander-
son the dissatisfaction and pointed
out to him the great advantage the
operation of the motor car would pos
sess for all that section of country
between this city and Woodruff or
Laurens. 1t is suggested that with
this service of local nature the
road could continue to operate its
through trains in any way that might
appear best to the company The
territory affected is thickly settled
and susceptible of wonderful develop
ment if facilities for getting to mar
ket were provided, Mr.. Wood stated
this morning that every one to whom
he had spoken about the matter had
expressed the greatest interest in it,
agreeing that it would be most val
uable service. -Spartanburg Journal.

The Famous "KiItfes" Band.

That the 'Kilties", the world re-

musical triumph within itself is shown
by the fact that they are now on their
nth grand tour, have just returned
from tour of the world which last
ed two years and three months in
which twenty different countries were
visited and have travelled over 400 900
miles in its eleven years of organiza-
ton.
The bright uniforms, the sturdy fig
ures, the magnificent choir OF sixteen
trained voices and the famous troupe
of Scotch piDers and dancers all make
unique and enjoyable entertainment.
Laurens is to be congratulated by
the cast that the itinerary of this fa-
nous band includes this city, and those
who hear it will listen to a musical
organization that is universally ack-
nowedged to be second to none in
the world. The "Kilties" is no ordi-
nary bard for they put into their
musical work all the brilliancy of
thelr costumes, the spirit and verve
of the native training and breed, with
the result that they win their audi

Killed I'm Clinton.

Paul Moore, a respectable negro of
Clinton, was killed by unknown par
ties there last Tuesday night. His
body was found lying on the railroad
track, giving rise to the theory that
the murderers had placed him there
SO as to let the train hide evidences
of their crime. Two negroes are be-
ing held on suspicion, one in the coun-
ty Jail and one at Clinton, but no
conclusive proof has yet been doycl-
oped.

Nothing Much Of Real Importance

Coming up, so very Little Friction
of any Kind Occurs.
Columbia, Jan. 29--The general
assembly begins the fourth week of
the session today, the house as
sembling at 12:15 o'clock, and the
senate at p. IN. With the session
half over, both houses have gotten
away already with a new record for
work, will buckle right down and get
many matters disposed of. A full
weeks work vii lbe gotten in and the
two daily sessions will continue, for
although it usually has been the rule
to hold night sessions only during the
last two weeks Of term, this Gus
tom was set aside and night sessions
began as soon as the general assembly
convened, all records for work having
been broken in this respect by the
present session
Senator Carlisle's anti-gambling
bill, or as some call it anti-racing
bill, is set for a special order in the
senate Monday night immediately
after second reading bills. 1t is un-
likely that it will be called up be-
fore Tuesday morning and hard
tight will ensue. The Injunction fea-
t"re of the bill is going to cause
many who otherwise would favor it
| to vote against its passage. Senator
Carlisle Will lead the fight for the
adoption of the bill while Senator Ap-
pelt, and probably Senator Clifton.
Will head the opposition.
Commission Government,
Another measure OF unusual inter
est is the disposition the house is 90
ing to make on the veto OF the gov
ernor on the bills permitting Charles
/ ton to vote on the commission form
or government. A hearing on this
matter last week before the house in
dlclary committee, to whom the mes
sage was referred was remarkable
ior the bitterness, which was display
ed by the different elements in Char
lesion. The judiciary committee has
decided to hold their report on this
veto until measure providing for an
additional registration for the plan
can be gotten through. The friends
OF Mayor Grace profess to see i'm this
!. a move to lend legislative aid to the
passage of the bill over the veto and
thus help along the plan to legislate
the Grace administration out of office.
lhey are strenuously opposing the
! plan to hold the veto in the iudiciory
committee and have threatened to Of

pelllng the committee TO report on
the matter at once and thus LET thc
house vote on it. This resolution is
