SUIT FOR 100000
AGAINST CLINTON MILL

Mother of Boys Drowned in Clinton
Mill Pond Last June Asking for Big
Verdict.
The court of common pleas, which
is in session this week with Judge
f. B. Gary upon the bench, was occu-
pied large part of yesterday with
the trial of )ne of two damage suits
of 100000 each against the Clinton
Cotton Mills. The suits grew out of
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 sal guards 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 so far was
that Of G. G. Anderson against j. j.
Dandy, in which Mr.. Anderson charges
breach OF contract when Mr.. Dendy
refused to rent o certain piece. of land
to him after Mr.. Dendy had agreed to
let him have 1t. He sued. for 5000 and
secured verdict OF 317b.

PEOPLE UNITED AS ONE.
Everybody Acting together to Secure

Rinse ito Is Common Consent.

Raise 1t" Is Common Consent.
The representative of The Adver-
tiser walked down the street, thinking
about this Chicora college proposition
and asked several of the citizens he
met how they "stood" on the matter.
They all stood" right, as can be
judged by the expressions below
While most of them were little "shy"
on being interviewed they did not
fail to let It be known that the col
lege must be had.
Mr.. A. G. Todd was hailed as The
Advertiser man stepped out Of the
door. Strong for 1t and we must
have. 1t. 1t will put Laurens on the
map again. Our only chance and last
chance. Laurens can do 1t and will
do it. Let the people come together
and establish our college,"
Mr.. C. NJ. Miller. of the Laurens
Drug Company: eve have got to have
1t. II we are going 10 do anything
at all, now is the time to do It, Ev-
cry man must put down what he thinks
he can afford and then double it."
Mr.. Lawrence Barksdaie. in the same
store. said We've got to have it.
Sure"
Mr.. Geo. C. Hopkins. well known
citizen of the county in passing one
OF his friends talking to the Adver-
tiser man: 81 want to see you fellows
do about and move that college here"
Mr.. John M. Cannon was run up
against near the Palmetto Drug
Store: II feel that we ought to have
tine college. From a material stand
point it 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 Newberry, 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 material
standpoint, 1t 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. am for
it, heart and soul"
| MIR. l.. B. Blackwell speaking of the
campaign: "I am willing to contribute
my share. l. have three little girls
and look forward to the opportuni-
ty of sending them to Chicora college
in Laurens."
The Advertiser man was out to 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. I certainly
would like to go to college in Lau-
rens. Move the college here and
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!
