pied large part of yesterday with
the trial of one of two damage suits
of 100000 each against the Clinton

the drowning of two little boys in the
mill pond of that company last June
The mother of the two boys, Mrs. Nan
ME Tucker, is entering suit Accord
ing to the story as told by people of
the mill village. little Thomas Tuck
er, while near the mill pond, fell in
TO the water which was very hot. His
older brother. Roy, Jumped in to
rescue him and both perished. The
plaintiff claims death resulted partly
by scalding and partly by drowning.
The plaintiff charges that the mill
owners were negligent In not provid-
ing proper safeguards around the pond.
The jury went to view the scene last
night and the case will be resumed
this morning.
The only other case tried 80 far was
that OF G. @. Anderson against j. J..

Of his friends talking to the Adver-
tiser man: 81 want to see you fellows
do about and move that college here"
Mr. John II. Cannon was run up
against near the Palmetto Drug
Store: II feel that we ought to have
the college. From a material stand
point 1t will be more valuable than
any other enterprise or institution
that could be brought here. But this
is the least consideration as the great
educational benefits are beyond es-
timation. The college will be our
pride"
Mr.. John K. Aull. of Ne~berry, was
stopped on the street and asked to
give little expression as to the ad-
vantages OF Newberry college to New
berry. ut has done more towards the
upbuilding OF Newberry along material
and cultural lines than anything else
she possesses. From a material
standpoint, It leaves a great deal OF
money in the town every year and 1t
is all clean money. Newberry has been
loyal TO the college and realizes it's
advantages. This college movement
is the biggest thing that has happened
in Laurens in years"
Mr.. r. F. Fleming said: IF we put
up real effort to secure the amount
necessary. we can raise it. 1 am for
it, heart and soul"
Mr.. L. B. Blackwell speaking of the
campaign: Il am willing to contribute
my share. 1 have three little girls
and / look forward to the opportuni-
" of sending them to Chicora college
in Laurens"
The Advertiser man was out - see
them all. a couple of those charm
ing Chicora visitors were stopped on
the street and asked what they thought
about moving the college here: 20, l
am just wild about it. 1 certainly
would like to go to college in Lau-
rens. Move the COLLEGE here and l
will attend for ten years. 1 am for
it." They were just so pleased that
all they said could not be taken down.
Just think of that. If Laurens does
not come across after that, 1t ought
to quit. She's coming too!

Laurens must!
II Laurens fails. then what?
Fare ye well. Politics. See you later
Chicora college will be the apple of
our eye.
The only way to get college is to
Laurens: Easy of access from all di-
rections.
Laurens expects every man to do
his duty.
Culture and refinement with material
progress will make IAurens an ideal
place OF living.
Laurens needs the college and the
college needs Laurens.
Laurens: The logical place for
girls college; no competition, plenty
of support
Who is it, but would not do his ut
most in order to see those winsome
girls upon our streets?
The common argument: 81 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 a work of love.
Every citizen of Laurens who has
the interest OF his home town at heart
should be at the meeting this evening
The college will lie the center .our
education activities and hub around
which all of our interests will revolve.
800
Wilkes &c 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 1t gets start
ed nothing can stop it. Witness the
many improvements within the past
year. Laurens is 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 1t "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 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 cir OK education, culture and re-
fnement which II gives. This cannot
be measured in dollars and cents. This
is by far tho greatest confederation in
securing the college.
Be prepared to talk business. With
the calyassers. DO not take up their
time with conversation for their time
Will be as valuable as yours. In fact
81 will bs more valuable, ser while
they are out working for you their
own work will be piling up behind
them.
