would receive fair deal from the
trustees. He felt it a reflection
upon the trustees to doubt but that
they would stand by the proposi-
ton they had submitted. He felt
sure that if Laurens secured the
college that it would always sup.
port it and that it would remain
here at all times. for never had he
known of a case where college was
moved twice.
MIR. Rankin said that he doubted
whether the citizens of Laurens
appreciated the great advantages of
such an institution. With $50 stu
dents and 38 teachers and officers,
it disbursed about $35, 900 year
and he believed that at least $50
600 year was now spent in Green
willie by Chicora college and stu
dents. With large and beautiful
building and endowment fund of
probably 100000, Chicora would
prove a great asset and an adver-
tisement for Laurens. In its eff
feet upon the moral and intellec.
tual side of the life OF the citv
the college would far exceed the
financial benefits. Laurens has now
the opportunity to strike for Chris
tian education.
He said that Laurcns was con
fronted with big task in raising
this large sum and it would be nee
essary for many to make sacrifice
to secure it, but the returns of ev-
cry kind would justify much
larger expenditure. With a spirit
OF determination he believed that
the citizens of Laurens would sue
ceed in raising the money. In
closing Mr.. Rankin said that he
hoped that the people of Laurens
would respond in the same generous
spirit In which the board had made
the proposition.
Dr. w. H. Dial spoke few en-
thuslastic words in support of the
movement, declaring that now was
a psychological moment to put new
life into the city and to begin an
era of growth and progress, for the
benefit Of the children and genera
tions to follow.
Mr.. r. A. Cooper spoke a few
words declaring that the campaign
must be carried out to successful
end. Mr.. w. u. Gray made an en-
thusiastic speech urging the people
to put forth every effort to raise
the required sum Of money, de-
claring that it was an investment
in which the returns would be far
greater than anything that money
could buy. He stressed the advan-
tages to those who we're unable to
send their children elsewhere to
college and who would be most ben
eftted by having the college here.
To those who are not familiar
with the, circumstances Leading up
to the call of this meeting, it would
not be out Of place to review the
happenings of the past few weeks
or the past few months. In fact
for the past several years Rev. c..
F. Rankin has had plan revolving
in his mind to secure college for
Laurens. Realizing when he first
came here that such an institu-

deem i'll due to all concerned to
make succient but plain state
mcnt of their action in connection
with the probable transfer of the
institution from its present site to
the city of Laurcns.
AT its meeting III July, 1911,
a member of the board who found
it impossible to be present in per
son at this meeting addressed to
it communication in which he
raised the question whether the in
terests of the college did not de-
mand at the hands Of the board
a frank consideration of the adj
visibility of transferring the in
stitution to some other place in the
Synod and suggesting Laurens as
a suitable place.
STATEMENT BY BOARD.
1.-The board referred this com
munication to it's executive com
mite with instructions to consider
its contents and in connection with
same to see whether they could not
secure for the college an eligible
site in or near the city of Green
vile.
When the board met this year.
at S;3O p. m. July 2nd, they were
Informed that number of gen
tlemen representing the various de
nominations and the business in
terestS OF LaurcnS were in the city
and desirous of confering with them
touching the matter of the removal
of the college from it's present site.
These gentlemen were granted an
audience by the board. Through
their spokesman, DR.. Aiken, they
stated that they had heard that
there was a possibility that the board
might deem the removed of the col
lege advisable. They also stated
very explicitly through DR.. Aiken
and others that they had not come
to try TO get the college away from
Greenvllle or to make any bid for
1T as against any other community {;
but were before the board to say
that if that body should decide that
they were willing to consider the
removal of the college and would
state the conditions upon which its
removal hinged they could assure
the board that the city of Laurens
was ready to make an earnest and
enthusiastic effort to meet those con
ditions. They made no PROPOSE
tion of any kind to the board, but
in private conversation with the
members Of that body stated they
believed the city of Laurens would
provide the college with suitable
site and money enough to pay off
its present indebtness.
" The board heard these gentle
men respectfully and promised
them as early an answer as the
nature of their business would adj
NIT of. When the board went
again into executive session it's ex-
ecutive committee reported that
there was not before them any
propositions for a site for the col
lege in or near the city of Green
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1912-07-10


feeling sure that the city and coun
ty were willing and anxious to
support a college, he has constant
ly kept the idea in mind a few
months ago, when some, dissatis
factlon was expressed because of
the cramped conditions surround
ing the present location of Chicora
college at Greenville and the fact
came out at meeting of the board
OF trustees that the college would
likely be moved from its present
location TO some other location in
or near Grcenville or TO some other
city, the question of securing the
college for IaurenS was agitated
quietly. The movement gained in
momentum until just before the ap
pointed time for the meeting of
the board of trustees last week, it
was thought advisable to get a
number Of Laurens citizens togeth-
er and discuss the question.
The meeting was held last Mon
day afternoon and a committee
consisting Of enthusiastic members
of all denominations was appoint
ed to appear before the board of
trustees at Greenville and to find
out the sentiment Of the board. The
committee went up without any
proposition to offer and were on
ly instructed to say that Laurens
was unwilling to enter into any
competition with other cities to
secure the college, but that Lau-
rens stood ready to do all in her
power TO meet any condition the
board might suggest. The trustees
were advised of the hopes and
plans of IIaurens in reference to
the college if it were established
here and were asked to state
the terms upon which the col
lege could be secured. The
committee was given courteous
hearing. Wednesday afternoon
(the next day. DR.. II. X. Aiken.
the chairman Of the Laurens com
mittcc, was informed that the board
had acted favorably upon the sug-
gcstion of the Laurens citizens
and would recommend moving
the college here if Laurens would
supply a suitable site and raise
5000 for the college.
AS the first newspaper announce
ment of the action of the board of
trustees covers very minutely ev-
cry phase of the situation, it is re-
produced below, it being taken
from Thursdays issue of The
&reenvllle News. 1t is as follows: {:
That Chicora College will be re-
moved from Greenville to the town
OF Laurens is practically certain,
since the Board of Trustees, i'm an
lnual session last night, adopted a
report from the Ways and Means
Committe to the effect that should
Laurens provide the college with an
acceptable site and the sum Of
$4,000 toward removal plant,
the college would be recommended to
tic controlling Presbyterics of Tic
State. That Laurens will meet the
condition laid down by the trustees,
is more than probable. In fact, it
vas reliably stated last night that
the conditions will be met in full

vile. DIR, Byrd, the president,
however, said that he was request
ed by certain gentlemen of the city
to lay before the board with suit
able explanation, four available
sites in as many ditfercn subwcbs
of the city. All these, together with
the address from the citizens of
l1aurenS, were referred to the WAYS
and means committee of the board
for consideration.

the following report:
To the Board Of Directors of Chic
ora College in Session July 3, 1912.
Brethren: Your committe on
ways and means had referred to
them four propositions touching
the removal of the college from it's
present to some other site in or
near the city of Grcenvile, and also
the matter brought to the attention
of the board by the committee of
cltizens of Laurens S. c., touching
the removal of the college to that
city
Early in our conference in be-
came evident to our committee that
none of the propositions for the re-
moval to any of the four sites in
or near Grccnvillc was in such
shape as to make it wise i'm the
Judgment of your committee to
entertain them at the present time.
The following circumstances led
your committee to regard it as I'M
Pcrative that we give the most care
full consideration to the question
of removing the college to the city

our property here could be bond
.cd for at least the sum of $65 900
With this sum and $4,000 of the
$4,000 hoped for from the present
canvass we would have in hand the
sum of $4,000 sufficient amount
with which to erect in the city of
laurcns a thoroughly wcIl-equip-
ped modern school plant.
6. The board has already been
informed by our president that the
present property of the college will
in his Judgment bring under the
hammer, between 100000 and 800
600 and there seems to be no rea-
sonable ground to doubt that given
a little time and the property prop
crly handled would bring not less
than $15O,000.
In view Of all these and other
circumstances not necessary to be
formally incorporated in this re
port your committee felt con-
strained to recommend:
i. That the board reply to the
committee from the city of Lau-
rcnS that if that community will
provide the college with an ac-
ccptabIe site and the sum of $75,-
600 towards a suitable plant. this
board Will recommend to its con
trolling Prcsbytcries that they adj

the college to that city.
2 That this board appoint
committee to communicate their
action to DR.. Aiken, chairman of
the committee from the city of
Laurcns, and TO take such other
steps as may be necessary TO give
legal affetc to the previous rcso-
luton"
In presenting this report the
chairman of the ways and means
committee stated very clearly that
IN making this report the commit
tee were not animated by any lack
of regard for or good viii toward

bodied in their report

discussion, was adopted by the

placed into those of the citizens of

movement turns upon two condi

eat Mass Meeting OF Progressive Citizens in the Court House
Yesterday Evening, when Unbounded Enthusiasm Regned
A OF
of
ION to secure IN mountNe

A great mass meeting of the cit
izens of Laurens was held in the
court house yesterday afternoon to
formulate plans to make a proper
answer to the letter of the board of
trustees Of Chicora college, in which
letter it was promised that if $75,-
900 and suitable site were prof.
Tered, the college would be moved
here. Such spirit Of determina-
ton and enthusiastic cooperation
showed itself in the meeting as has
never been shown in this city be-
fore. y committee was appointed
to solicit subscriptions and another
one to procure options on all
available and suitable sites in the
city. After the money is secured,
the offer will be formally laid be
fore the board of trustees of the col
lege and they will select whatever
site they think best.
The following are the commit
tees:
Presbyterian church: f. III.
Wilkes, r. F. Fleming, H. X. Aiken
Baptist: R. A. Cooper, G. B.
Bobo, d. A. Davis
Methodist: w. l.. Gray, l.. G.

Episcopal: r. E. Hughes, M. l..
TEopeland, w. II. Washington.
- Committee to secure options: T..
M. Lake, r. Ross Blakeley, j. f.
Tolbert.
The meeting was organized with
Il. b. Babb as chairman and A. c..
Todd as secretary. DR.. H. K. Aiken
stated the cause Of the meeting. The
chairman asked for suggestions as
to procedure. At this moment.
Rev. g. e. Rankin arose and stated
that he wished to make a few re-
marks before other business was
attended to.
Mr.. Rankin began by saying that
though he was by virtue of his
calling only transient citizen here,
he felt the deepest interest in the
city and was ready at all times to
do everything in his power to fur
ther its growth and progress. He
felt that now a great opportunity
was before the city, which must be
grasped now or never. Opportun-
tiles such as these come but once
In az life time and to let this one
pass would be to let the best thing
go by that Laurens has ever had
the opportunity to grasp.
After reviewing the history of the
movement to secure Chicora college
for Laurens, Mr. Rankin went on
to state that the trustees of Chicora
had given the matter serious and
solemn consideration and had come
to the conclusion that if Laurens
wonld raise $75, 900 and provide a
table site that the college would
be moved here. He said that this
was bold move on the part Of the
trustees and as liberal as could be
expected. Though there have been
those who have said that Laurens
could not secure the college if she
wanted it, there was no reason to
doubt what the board had said.
They would not carry on a flirta-
ton on the part Of Chicora with
baurens. This was matter of
the best interest of the college and

and of taste. 1t carried with it sus
gestion of woman's equal rights to
marry when it pleases her, and the
man making the request also pleases
her. The announcement of her en-
gagement to Mr. Finley J. Shepard of
st. Louis, shows how Miss Gould has
exercised both of these inalienable
woman's rights. We violate no dell
cacy and certainly no confidence,
and no reasonableness, in saying that,
after having looked askance at many
unpleasing suitors, In exercising the
privileges of her sex, she now exer.
cises it's other great privilege in ac-
cepting the pleasing one.
