HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
START TRAINING ANEW
Much Activity Current in
Hammond High School
Athletic Circles.

Although the weather has handi-
capped the Hammond high school track
squad in the way of getting down to
active training, they started in earnest
this week and from some of the marks
that are being made it looks like the
high school athletes will have a good
chance of capturing the honors at the
Lake county meet the latter part of
May. They will also take part in the
state meet and the northern Indiana
meet to held at South Bend.
With a list of nearly twenty men
doing active training work every
night, some excellent material is being
developed. For this early in the sea-
son, the athletes are doing good work
in the sprints, hurdles pole vault and
in fact all the events which looks
bright for Hammond in the coming
track meets. With the track work,
some of the men are practicing base
ball which is helping to put them in
good shape. The Blue Island high
school will play the Hammond high
school team at the H. A A park to-
morrow afternoon and close game Is
expected. This is Hammond's second
game of the season and they are in
hopes that the fans will turn out ard
give them little help.
Among those who are now training
for track events are:
Sprints-Amoss, Crumpacker and
Hudson.
Pole vault--Taylor.
Hurdles-van Glider and Crum-
packer.
Weighted. Sparkling and Philips
| Long distance runs-Prohl. Gavit,
Mette and Hirsch.
| High and broad jump. Gruener
Il and Van Glider.

Attracts Big Crowds.

The Millionaire Kid the attraction
at the Orpheum theater. is attracting
as large crowds as if it had not already
appeared in Hammond. Last night the
house was packed and the show pleas
ed the audience as much as ever.
The show. in fact. is big so cents
worth for ten and twenty cents, and
the people know it. Manager Hanken-
son was very much pleased with the
business the show is doing OF the oc-
casion of its temperance in Ham
mond.

The Parcels Post Charges.

1t is only a few weeks until the
1t is we'll for the people to under
stand what it will cost to send pack
ages of merchandise by mail. Last
week The Journal gave instructions
as to the special stamps to be used
as we'll as other requirements. This
new law after trial will be changed
and amended. The zone system will
no doubt be abolished and the prices
will be reduced. At the present rate
5-pound package sent from New
York to Spartanburg would cost
twenty-seven cents. That is per-
haps more than the express rates.
package weighing IL pounds would
be 70 cents. The same package
could be sent from Great Brita or
Italy for 75r cents. Germany could
mail "A pounds to any part of the
United States for 33 cents. A pack
age weighing that much would cost
% cents to send to Denver or Los
Angeles. The rates were evidently
made to suit the express companies.
The democratic congress should take
hold Of the right end of this matter
and give separate bill without hitch
ing 1t on to the postal appropriation
bill, abolish the zone system and re-
duce the cost to conform to charges
made in European states which have
tried the plan for years.
The new law permits the mailing
OF packages weighing not more than
eleven pounds, which must not be
more than seventy-two inches in it's
length and breadth combined. Up to
four ounces there will be fiat rate
of one cent per ounce, or part thereof
regardless of distance
From this it will be seen that an
eleven-pound package, which can be
sent from Rome to San Francisco for
rs cents, Will cost from New York to
the same destination $1.32, a tremen-
dous discrimination in favor of the
foreigner against our own citizens.
Instances like these will doubtless
do much toward helping along the
cause of the parcels post and eventu-
ally give to the country a system that
will be real and lasting benefit to
both producer and consumer

Jumping at Conclusions.

Mr.. DeKolb, the airship man who
flew in Abbeville a few days ago
was, according to the Abbeville Me-
dunn and The Press and Banner, a
very modest young man when the
personal note is sounded Quite
modest. Modest enough to get two
columns of free advertising out of
each of those progressive papers,
Laurens Advertiser.
All of which goes to show how
easy it is to misjudge when jumping
at conclusions. AS a matter Of fact
The Press and Banner, so far from
being worked, sought out Mr.. De-
kolb. and asked for the interview.
The only idea sought was to convey
to its readers some information upon
quite a number of people. If aero
planes have become so common in
Laurens that folks are no longer in
terested in them then we are forced
to congratulate them, but there were
many people in Abbeville to whom
an airship was quite a novelty and
the story published in this paper was,
as near as we could make it, an an
swer to the many questions asked by
spectators.
The Advertiser is wrong in it's con-
clusion. 1t may have been an error
in judgment as to what would inter
est. and it may have been the fault of
bad expression that interesting facts
were woven into a tiresome story,
but there was not even a yelled at
tempt to work" anybody. The writ
er of the article in question has been
connected with newspapers for nearly
a quarter of century and believe he
knows a worker" by sight. The avi-
ator who flew in this town bore not
the slightest resemblance to the spe-
cies.-Abbeville Press and Banner.

A Greater Chicora,

Much has been said and written
about Chicora college within the
last few months. Some things have
been said or written that it were bet
ter not to have expressed and bitter
nesses have been engendred that
should not find place In the hearts
of men.
Three things that serve we'll to
ing men together is common cause
common faith and common hope
The enlargement OF Chicora col
lege is OF vital interest to Green
Vile in many ways. The most ap-
parent probably is In that It brings
large amount of new money into
the town. The records show that
through the college treasury alone
as much money has been coming In
annually for number OF years as
Greenvilie's total original investment
in this institution. In addition Ia
this is the very considerable amour,
the students spend.
Probably one great value OF n
female college to the community
in which 1t is located. II the viii
lage, town or city is In any way
worth while. is the fact that the sex
take quick and accurate note OF things
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1912-11-20

luke-warm in this mattr, Is the won
der Of bankers and manufacturers in
other cities. Prominent citizens OF
both Spartanburg and Greenvile have
but recently expressed surprise that
the people here would allow this en-
terprise to stand idle for the want of
SUCH small amount of capital to
start it going. Let's get together on
this thing and support it with all our
might. Let no man depend upon 9TH
ers to do more than his share, but
every man pull with his neighbor and
let's put this matter across like we
mean business.
1t is only necessary to raise what
should have been raised before the
company began to 90 business and
with that amount in hand, the direc-
tors hope for prosperous future.
Last year was not bad year. for
the company broke about even. some
thing not usually done by new enter
prises.
Let's all put our SHOULDERS to the
wheel and put the deal across
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1912-11-20

and they do not hesitate to tell their
impressions.
The END man in some minstrel
show once said there were three
fine ways to spread news, telegraph.
telephone and tell-a-woman." This
of course was intended to be funny,
but there is an element of truth in
it, and of kind that is In no way
discreditable to women.
Several years residence in Green
VILE of hundreds of bright young
women at that period of life when
the things they see and learn leave
the deepest impression is worth a lot
to any community If it has much that
is good in it.
Another way in which thriving
female college helps town, is in
the fact that there is nothing that
appeals to the higher and better in
ter help to better endeavor, than
does pure bright young womanhood.
A town will almost necessarily
strive for better things when it has
female college in it's midst and
the bigger this interest is, the grea-
ter the factor will 1t be in the com
munity's highest Development.
Chicora has reached the full limit
of its usefulness with its present
facilities and equipment, it cannot
even maintain its present position
with enlargement. Inexorable laws
make sure the fact that cessation Of
growth will mark the beginning of
decadence and Greenville spirit could
not stand for that.
The question of the removal OF the
college is settled. Every subscription
made will have the certainty in the
form Of a guaranty behind it that
Chicora is to remain in Greenville and
is to remain the crown of the hill it
has so long graced but with enlarged
grounds, facilities and equipment.
Chicora needs thirty thousand dol
lars from Greenville to ensure it's
very existence
Almost Of certainty it will soon
begin to bring back into Greenville
nearly this additional amount in an
annual accretion to which now comes
A hundred per cent investment is
usually considered good thing, but
in this day Of striving for moral and
educational uplift and the keenest eff,
fort for tho hast modo of n,,hI;o;t,,
there could be only two things that
might keep u.s. from raising the mon
ey Chicora wants-either we don't de-
sire good things or we just haven't
got that much money in Greenville.-

EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

Nearly every citizen in Laurens is
aware of the situation which now ex-
lists relative to the Laurens Glass
Works. The situation has been fully
discussed on the streets and all are
acquainted with the affairs of the con-
Germ. 1t Is generally known that of
the $4,000 common stock subscribed
last year only about $33 900 has been
paid in and that on this measly sum
the concern has been run for a whole
year augmented only by the person
al reputation and backing of the di-
rectors. We all know that the fac
tory has reached the point where
more capital is absolutely necessary
before IT can continue to be operated.
with unusual handicaps for the first
year, the company has broken even
and Is now ready, if allowed, to begin
anew year with better knowledge Of
the business, better trade conditions.
an improved plant. better freight
rates and, in fact. everything in a
great deal better shape than at this
time last year. The plant has won
reputation for It's output and the
demand for bottles is increasing
daily. The field Is open, but the sup
ply OF capital is keeping the company
from realizing upon it's opportunity.
1t Is unnecessary to go into details
as to the advantages of the glass fac
tory to the town. 1t Is unnecessary
to try and put valuation upon the
stock now offered for sale. All of this
Is matter OF common knowledge
The stock has commercial guaran-
tee of seven per cent ATTACHED and
constitutes a mortgage upon the prop
erty. The plant is worth $50 900 and
the total preferred stock authorized
is $4,000. The value OF the security
must be left to the judgment OF the
people of LaureDs.
But, 1t seems to us that something
should be done to get the people to-
gether on this proposition. Every man
seems TO be standing off to allow
some other man TO put up the money
while he expects to reap the benefit

That advertising our lands and eli
mate In other section of the country
Will bring results is the conclu-
sion drawn from the success of local
concern in advertising South Carolina
lands in northern states. The South
ern Land Development Company has
the north in the effort to secure buy
ers for its property at McBee, in this
state. This company has been largely
rewarded by the campaign as many
people have been drawn to it's prop
erty to look over its possibilities and
many have purchased outright. While
the campaign has been conducted on
but modest basis, it has brought
large returns and the campaign stands
as an indication of what could be done
If larger campaign were undertaken
by the state or some other organiza-
tion.
The progressive Farmer, the most
widely circulated and probably the
most influential farm magazine of the
south, recently issued a Come South"
special edition. which was sent broad
cast over the northern states and to
its subscribers in the southern states.
Over $4,000 copies were sent to the
thrifty farmers of the north and
northwest. The special edition was
made up largely of letters contribut-
ed by farmers who had emigrated to
the southern states from other sec
tions of the country The Progressive
Farmer and other farm papers of the
south are probably doing more in
awakening the people Of the south to
the possibilities of the section in which
they live than any other agency of
which we know. While 1t can be
truthfully said that the daily and
weekly papers prepared the way. the
agricultural papers have done a great
work in sowing the seed of progress
siveness and urging the people to
take advantage of their opportunities.
This great edition of the Progressive
Farmer is in keeping with advanced
ideas Of its publishes and will doubt
less prove Of great benefit in encour-
aging thrifty farmers of other states to
come south and bring with them their
progressive ideas in agriculture.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.

BY an overwhelming majority the
city of Florence has decided to adopt
the commission form of government,
the election on the question having
been held this week Spartanburg is
going to vote on the question in Feb
ruary. Why not let Laurens get in
line with the rest of the progressive
towns and begin agitation of a plan
that is proving wonderfully success
full in hundreds of towns and cities,
according to statements from every
quarter Of the country.
The above, taken from The Laurens-
willie Herald is to the point Other
cities have found the commission
form of government to be successful
and If Laurens should adopt it, doubt
less it will prove Il great improve
ment over the present form of gov
ernment. The Advertiser prints in
another column a letter from Mayor
w. II. Gtbbe.s Of Columbia. atbut
commission government and we trust
that it will be given thoughtful con-
sideration by the citizens of Laurens.
