On July End last. a large party Of
prominent citizens. living in the city
of Laurens, came into Greenville by
night, for a purpose-as it develop
ed later-a very definite purpose.
Good business men Of Laurans, as
elsewhere, do not go o1 at i tangent
and seldom do they go on a wild
goose chase" They usually pursue
a definite object. and have obtained
from some cource. assurance at
least a strong basis Of hope, for ul-
innate Success in their undertaking.
The people OF Laurens knew when
this committee Of its citizens came
to Greenville. that the object OF
their visit would meet with q defn-
tie support from certain OF the
membership OF the Board Of Trus-
tees of Chicora college, or they would
not have come.
Greenville, on the other hand, bad
not the remotest reason for thinking
that any matter OF s 70 grave import
ance and radical a nature as the re-
moval of Chicora college from her
midst, would be even considered,
much less takel up and concluded.
What reason did the niue trustees
less than a third OF the entire
board-have, for forcing their views
upon the other members Of the board!
They took such action as no board
Of directors Of a business organiza-
tion would have considered for a
moment.
No previous notice was given that
the question Of removal to Laureas
was to be considered.
To claim as the motive, that they
were prompted solely by their de-
sire to free the college from debt
is puerile, for a moments thought
would convince any thinking man
that a greater profit could be real
lied by a different mode Of selling
out" Laurens though, and Laurens
only was to be considered. Green
Vile, nor any other city OF South
Carolina, was to be in he running.
The proposition to Laurens, from
nine out Of a total Of y enty-eigh'
trustees, but the nine Constituted &
majority of those present, at tina
meeting like this: Raise seventy-fve
thousand dollars in cash or gooc
notes; secure a suitable site IL
your midst, and then we will expenc
the money you raise, in your owr
town; bring to you about a hundred
thousand dollars that we think viii
be left after the payment OF exist
ing debts. and placing behind these
the prestige and support of all thu
Presbyterians of South Carolina. w
will give you q splendid thing; ant
no other town in the wide, wide world
not even Greenville, would be allowed
to get in the way OF Laurens.
OF course LaurenS took up theij
offer.
Not to have done 50 would bav'
been a discredit to their intelligence
and business acuHen for all time
Genuine FIVE dollar gold pieces q
the rate of about a dollar and a bal
each will always be bargains.
The alienation Of the more thai
twelve hundred Presbyterians o
Greenville together with hundreds II
other parts Of the state. from Chicora
and this alienation would be justlhe'
in the minds OF all who understand
the case-is Of no moment to thes
nine men. Nor does it seem to matte
that the almost viHdictive fight som
men who are connected with Othe

ton of July End, but is only to place
the entire matter in the hands Of these
higher tribunals that they might slit
the entire transaction, in the light OF
the subsequent acts Of the more fully
attended boards, and render even and
exact justice to all.

 Both Saved From Sufferinu

I wish to tell you the good results myself and husband received from Dr. Kilrner's Swamp Root About eleven years ago I had severe attack of La Grippe and was confined to my bed about eight weeks under the doctors care. He pronounced my case kidney trouble and rheunne @tsm and not re- ceiving the results rom the doctors treatment I should have received. decided to try Swamp-Root After taking several bottles of Swamp-Root I was able to get up and attend my work. About a year later my husband was affected with a severe attack of kidney trouble and doctored for some time with the doctors and received no benefit. Knowing of the good had received, he decided to try Swamp Root. His condition was such that he was confined to his bed and words cannot tell how he suffered, but after taking Swamp-Root he was relieved so he could go with his work with out pain. I wish to heartily recon1- mend Swamp-Root to all persons af- hicted with kidney ana bladder trous bles and you may publish this letter if you wish.
