WATTS DEFEATS WEST END
At Laurens on Saturday In a Beau
tifully Played and Snappy Con-
test,

Special to The Herald and News.
Laurens, S. c., June 17.--By defeat
Ing the West Enders in a beautifully
played and snappy contest here Sat
urday afternoon, Watts Mills climbed
to second place in the c., N. & l..
league. The feature of the game was
the hitting Of Fisher, for the locals,
who out of four times up made two
home runs, a double and a single, be-
sides making four put outs and two
assists out of six chances. Wright
the lanky initial sacker for the New
berry boys, was prime favorite with
the congregation, being given the glad
hand on several occasions because OF
his star work at first. Livingstone
pitched consistent game until the
eighth, when with one on, Fisher
knocked a home run, after which the
locals hammered the ball rather free
ly. Hill, for the Watts Mill, pitched
consistent game being given strong
support by his team mates.
The following is the official score:

The Object of the Meeting.

There was a meeting in Columbia
last week, and judging from the re-
ports in the daily papers it will re-
suit in good. DR.. Geo. B. Cromer was
named as a member of the executive
committee, and by some excerpts from
letters published in the State, one
from Dr.. Cromer, an idea may be
formed as to the object of the meet
ing:
Many important subjects will claim
the attention of your meeting, but
none of greater moment than the i'm
provement of community life in our
rural districts. The towns are suck
ing the life out of the country, and
much of it, after being sucked out,
becomes vicious or anaemic. We need
a population of white farmers on
small farms, in order to solve the
problem of the country school and
the country church. To this end,
trust that the capitalists and landown-
ers will devise some plan that will
enable deserving young white men
to buy and operate small farms. The
rate of interest and the prices now de-
manded are practically prohibitive,
and are driving young men to the
towns and cities"
Among the names registered at the
opening of the conference was Miss
Martha Johnstone, from Newberry.

One Hundred Varieties Of Marble.

Although Vermont occupies only
small space on the map when COM
pared with the great area of some OF
the other states of the Union, yet its
mineral resources are very important.
This little state leads the world in the
production of marble and granite, and
the deposits apparently are inexhaust-
tble. The greatest center of the mar
BILE industry of the world Is in the vi
cinity of Rutland. VT. particularly at
Proctor and West Rutland, while the
greatest center of the granite industry
of the world is in and around Barre
and Hardwick. VT
Although tweDty-six states furnish
marble, Vermont supplies about 20 per
cent of the finer grades suitable for
monumental work and statuary. This
state furnishes Al per cent of all the
building marble used in this county.
and the demand for this kind of stone
Is increasing. There are about hum
lred varieties of marble quarried in
Vermont, ranging from the purest
white, suitable for statuary, to jet
black. Walter ii. Crockett in National
