ty Association Here Friday Night.
In the rooms Of the chamber of
commerce on Friday night at 500
O'Clock meeting of all the Alumni
or the University of South Carolina
and the old South Carolinaa College
is to be held in order that an alumni
association may be organized. Every
man who has attended the University
or South Carolina College is eligible
for membership in the county alumni
association and 1t is hoped that not a
man Of the many Laurens County
alumni will be missing. One point in
the organization of the association
that should appeal to the men, is the
fact that the oldest living graduate
OF the institution resides in Laurens
county.
The university has grown more in
the past two years than any other in
stitution in the state, the enrolment
last session being $50. Every man is
earnestly requested to come out and
get in touch with his brother alumni.

the board of trustees had right to

llarly within the scope of the authori-
ty OF the board. All of the trustees

and authorized to transact business

constituted at the annual meet,ne
should have authorized it's treasurer
to borrow on the credit of the col.
iege the sum of $5,O0O.OO, for neces-
sary improvements, and had appoint-
ed committee with power to act and
look after the details and this com
mlttee had proceeded to carry ont the
oroer or the board, and the person or
persons with whom they negotiated
had accepted and complied with their
oher' would the idea for moment
oe entertained that the board as con-
stltuted In special session of the 10Th
"oulu De authorized to rescind the ac-
tlon or the board as constituted on
July End? In other words. when
would you have binding contract
with the board If it may, at it's own
option. rescind a proposition of This
KIND without regard to whether 1t has
Deen accepted or not So much for
the legal aspect Of the case.
Let us now consider, very briefly
its moral setting. When we first an
peared before the board on July 2nd
we asked for definite proposition
dennite proposition was made and
delivered In writing to the chairman
OF our committee. Relying upon this
we went before our people and assur.
ed them that il the conditions of this
proposition were met, that they could
rely upon the board to carry II out
In good faith. We never contemplated
for a moment that any such action as
was taken at the meeting of the 10Th
could, or would be taken. Laurens
can afford to miss Chicora college.
though our people are very much in
terested in its removal here: we can
AFFORD any material loss incident to
lts location In our midst, but the Sc
riouS question is: Can the board Of
trustees, and can the Presbyteries of
South Carolina afford for the matter
to rest where 1t now is? Can the
Carolina afford for this action of
one of It's boards to stand. 1t must
be borne in mind that the first action
OF the board was legal. 1t must not
be overlooked that proposition made
by 1t in good faith to the citizens of
community have been met and it
seems to us that justice demands that
something be done.
In conclusion, we would counsel
moderation and charity. We do not
mean by any statements made herein
to impugn in the least the motives of
any member of the board Of trustees.
but we feel that upon mature and
calm reflection. they will realize the
mistake which they have made.

Laurens was disappointed for sew

announcement of the trustees at the
moment apparently foredoomed the
failure on our part to realize a long
cherished ambition to have college
In our midst. In this disappointment
were wrapped up the realization of
the loss of many educational as we'll

have in our midst an institution which

doubt.

A YOUNG LADY CONTRIBUTOR.

Congratulations upon the liberali-
ty of the citizens OF Laurens and vi
cinity should be scattered with a free
hand, but to our mind there Is one
subscriber on the list who came for
ward with such liberal spirit that
really the gift ought not to go with
out special comment The example of
liberality and civic pride shown in
this instance is worthy of emulation
by us all. 1t wouldn't do to call any
names, for that would embarrass the
giver, but everybody who has any
correspondence with the outside world
knows her. When the committee went
around to this office and had seen the
menfolks, they started to walk out
without mentioning the matter of O.
subscription from her. But she was
not going to allow the privilege OF
subscribing for college for Laurens
pass by. She called the solicitors back
and told them to make out for her
three notes aggregating One Hundred
Dollars. She signed them and will
pay them. That is the spirit which
builds cities.

The Rev J. F. Mattingly, former rec
tor of ST Mary's Catholic church, who
suddenly resigned his passionate, sew
eral months ago and left the city with
out informing his congregation of the
action he had taken, returned to Rich
mond yesterday and received a most
enthusiastic and affeetionate greeting
from his former Pensioners. He was
the guest of honor at banquet at the
Westcott Hotel given by local and Wis
iting members of the clergy, following
which members of ST Mary's congre-
CATION rendered him a reception at
ST Mary's Hall, where he was present
ed with a purse of $500. subscribed
by the Pensioners as token of their
love and appreciation Of the work he
had done for the parish. This was sig.
nificant as Father Mattingiy's resigna
ton from the local pastorate was the
result of opposition to his building
plans on the part of few members OF
the church.
Father Mattingly was completely
overcome by the reception accorded
him and the purse he received, and fol
a space of time was unable to reply
to the presentation address. When he
! had finally mastered his emotion he
made a masterful response and at the
conclusion of his remarks there were

dragged to the bottom of the Atlantic,

east gale the Cunard liner Carpathia,
carrying the survivors of the Inflated
Titanic, made slow but steady pro-

At 6 p. m. Captain Rostrom, of the

destination at 9 O'Clock tonight unless

NOTED MEN DROWNED.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-While full
details of the sinking of the White
Star liner Titanic off the New Found
land ba nks have not yet been learn
ed sufficient has been cleaned from
the fragmentary wireless messages
which have seeped through a scorv
of stations along the Atlantic coast to
give vivid impression of the scenes
which accompanied the final plunge of
the $10,000,000 floating palace.
From these dispatches the following
est tragedy:
Noted men agong the passengers
sacrificed their lives that women, chill
dren and the helpless might live.
Among them wer Maj. A. Butt, mill
tary aid to President Taft; Col. John
Jacob Aston multi-millionaire land
owner; Isidor Straus, noted philanthro-
pist; VIM. 7. Stead, the English jour
nalist; c. M. Hays, president of the
Grand Trunk railway; J. B. Thayer,
millionaire failroad man; Geo. B. Wild
ener and many others.
The officers and crew behaved with
heroism in the face of death. Captain
E. J. Smith stood upon his bridge with
folder arms as the liner took her final
plunge.
Many of the women passengers,
plunged from the gayety of evening
to the hysteria of death-panic, were
carried fainting to the life boats by
members of the crew.

HENRY HARRIS DROWNED.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Hopes of
persons who had relatives or near
friends on the Titanic were shattered
or revived today by the continuous
stream of messages flashed from the
Carpathia, which is bearing the survi-
vors. Some of them convey former and
vague reports of death. Very few gave
hany hopes to those who were without
definite hope today. One of the first
messages received was from Mrs.
Henry B. Harris, wife of the theatrical
producer, and read: Am safe. Pray
THAT Henry has been picked up by an
other steamer. Arriving on Carpathia.' y
When it was learned that Harris
was not on the Carpathia, his friends
abandoned their last faint hope.
