Laurens expects every man to do
his duty. 80 --1
Culture and refinement with material
progress will make Laurens an ideal
place: of living.
Laurens needs the college and the
college needs Laurens. s
Laurens: The logical place for a
girls college; no competition, plenty
of support.
Who is 1t, but would not do his ut
most in order to see those winsome
girls upon our streets?
The common argument: "I would
rather have Chicora college than two
cotton mills" 1t must be done.
A gift to Chicora college will mean
an Investment to some, while to 9th
ers it will be work of love.
Every citizen of Laurens who has
the interest of his home town at heart
should be at the meeting this evening
SSe
The college will be the center of our
education activities and hub around
which all of our interests vii. revolve
Wilkes G. Company will dedicate
their new building by holding meet
ing in the interest of Chicora college
for Laurens.
An Investment in the college now
means continuous dividends in intel
lectual, spiritual and financial pro-
gress for all future years.
Surely Laurens is waking up. It's
one of those towns that If it gets start
ed nothing can stop It, Witness the
many improvements within the past
year. Laurens is a conner.
The Presbyterian college for boys
at Clinton and the Presbyterian col
lege for girls here: just close enough
to associate on intimate terms and not
too close to hinder good work.
Our Monthly declares that there is
some excuse in calling the Presby-
terian College of South Carolina "Clin-
ton" college. Yes but there is no
excuse at all for clubbing it "P c."

In this canvas every man in town
will be expected to do his part. Some
will not be able to give as much as
others or as much as they might wish,
but all will be expected to give some
thing.
If Anderson can raise 100000 and
establish a new college without fur
ther aid, Laurens can raise the amount
now needed when we know that the
amount will be over doubled by the
church itself
The greatest asset of college Is
the air Of education, culture and re-
finement which It gives. This cannot
be measured Ia dollars and cents, This
is BY far ths greatest consideration In
securing the college.

May Suspend Rate Advances.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Transcon-
tinentsl railways are facing suspen-
sion by the interstate commerce com.
mission of advances in freight rates
proposed recently. The new rates to
become effective September 2, would
increase the transportation charges OF
many of the commodities from the At
lantic seaboard to Pacific coast ter.
minals. They also would make some
reductions to inter- Rocky mountain
destinations.
Vigorous protests are being recetv.
ed from eastern manufacturers and
shippers and from Pacific coast job
bers and merchants. Generally the
increases would be made by the can
collation. of existing commodity rates
thereby forcing the commodities to
take the higher class rates.

LONG POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS.

The growing turmoil accompanying
our presidential elections is an evil
that d~istresses business men. One
often hears the speedier election meth
ode of Canada and England fsvorably
commented on by comparison. 1t will
be recalled that the recent election OF
. parliament In Canada was accom-
plished in about seven weeks.
Our conventions place their candi'
dates il nomination the last of June
and the fret Of July, and four months
and q half intervene before the votes
are counted. It ia q period during
which business men look carefully at
the old dollar before swapping it for
q new one. July and August at the
best are pretty tough months for con-
vention going. 1t ia hard to get DELHI
crate Judgment out of a body of men
when they are engaged in connecting
cool drinks, swinging fans, and hunt

to change the convention dates, unless
they were carried over to about Sep.

Politicians often remark after any
kind OF convention, "If the election

out the most adorable slippers, built of
the same silk and having small rhine

REVIVAL OF THE
IT,. FRENCH TWIST.
This Pretty Couture Favored by
French Fashion Leaders.

Paris is full of new ideas pertaining
to hairdressing and hair ornaments.
says the Dry Goods Economist. Ow.
ing to the extreme changes that have
taken place within the last few sea-
sons both the hairdresser and the
manufacturer of ornaments have sui
fered. Now they are combining their
efforts and talents In the direction Of
creating modes that will result In
business for both.
Women, having abandoned the old
fashions Of transformations. pompa'
dours and pufs, are by necessity
forced to take some sort of substitute,
as few have sufficiently luxuriant
tresses to get along we'll without some
addition. The fashion of showing the
natural outline of the head has entire
~ eliminated paddings, but has been
responsible for a number of new hair
pieces that are being taken up by
fashionables.
The casque is perhaps the most pop
ular hairdressing in Paris at present.
This style will be familiar under
the name French twist, which was
very much in vogue in this country
during the late seventies and early
| eighties. The new treatment, how
ever, is slightly different from the old.
In 1t the long hair is drawn back into
q close twist. the ends being passed
under the roll and completely hidden
thereby. Then the front hair, which
has been divided of and carefully
waved, is parted at the left side, the
part being very low, sometimes only 9
trile above the top Of the ear. This
is drawn low over the ears and back
ward, where the waved ends are con
cealed under the twist. Just where
the roll Of the twist comes there II
placed a specially designed comb o.
barrette Of narrow though slightly
rounding and curving shape.
It Is a matter Of preference with tn
wearer whether this ornament b.
mounted like a comb or In the form
Of a barrette, with long, double lool
pin, fastening with a spring. All o
the fashionable hairdressers are usinl
these one sided casque combs ant
barrettes. To give additional securit,
and to further ornament this style o
dressing large, fat headed loop pin
are used.

WILL VOTE FOR SENATOR.

A new departure In Montana politics
Is the nomination of q candid ate for
United States senator by the state con
ventton of each political party, and
an expression OF their senatorial
choice by Montana voters. The latter
will not actually elect q United States
sen ator, but it Ia assumed that their
choice will receive the support OF q
majority of the members of the legisla.
tive assembly. The new method of
choosing Montana senators is explain.
ed by the Great Falls Tribune In part
as iollows:
A law passed by the late legislative
session provides that the state ccnven.
tions of each party shall nominate q
candid ate for senator. The names of
the men so nomin ated are to be sub.
mitted to the voters for approval, and
the one receiving q plurality of the
votes is the candid ate who presumably
will be elected by the legislature.
1t is impossible to pass q law which
would force the members of the legisla-
ture to so vote, but q binding pledge
is provided which each candidate for
the legislature has the opportunity to
sign If be sees fit; and the superstition
is that If he refuses to sign the pledge
ia question the voters will be inclined
to leave him at home. There are two
of these pledges provided, but the Sec

peoples votes for that position at the
general election next preceding the
election of sen ator in congress, with
out regard to my individual prefer

The other statement which ia pro.

"During my term In Office, I shall
consider the vote OF the people for the

Each candidate for the Legislature
has the opportunity of signing these
statements II he sees fit up until 20 days
before election, and they are placed or
