edy, "The Elopement of Ellen" will
be played Friday evening at $50 in
the Opera House here by company
from Greenwood This will be prac-
tically a local talent performance as
most of those taking part are known
here in Laurens. The play was given
in Greenwood last Friday and won
the very highest compliments from
folks over there. 1t is a particularly
interesting comedy, full of wit and
humor mixed with just the proper
amount of seriousness. Those TAX
ing part were highly complimented on
their histronic talent and have been
repeatedly urged to present the play
again in their home town. The play
is being given for the benefit of the
organ fund in the Baptist church of
Greenwood. The play in itself is more
than worth the price of admission and
that combined with the worthy cause
ought to assure them an excellent
audience here. The admission will be
20, 80 and 90 cents. Reserved seats
will be on sale at the Palmetto Drug
Company.
The cast of characters follows:
Richard Ford, a devoted young
husband Irwin Coleman

No Primary Here.

Several daily newspapers of the
state have recently carried stories to
the effect that Congressman Johnson
had ordered primary at Laurens for
the purpose of selecting a postmaster.
These papers musa have gotten the
situation here and at Clinton con-
fused. While Congressman Johnon
did order primary at Clinton to be
held last Saturday and later with
drew the order, no election has been
ordered for the Laurens office and it
is hardly likely that one will be or
dered, for some time at least How
ever, the would-be postmasters are
quite numerous and they let no op-
portunity pass to lay their cause be-
fore the Congressman.

MOTORCYCLE COLLIDES
WITH HORSE AND BUGGY
&. {. Smith of Newberry, Painfully
Injured and Horse had to be Killed.

G. c. Smith, of Newbcrry, was pain
fully injured and a horse belonging
to Mr.. n. j. Anderson was mortally
injured Saturday night between here
and Clinton when the motorcycle be-
ing ridden by Mr.. Smith collided with
the horse and buggy being driven by
Mr.. Anderson. Running at a high
rate of speed and without light on
rather dark night, Mr. Smith ran
into the horse and buggy before he
was able to slacken speed Having
with him roll of moving picture
films intended to be shown at the To-
cal opera house that hight. he was
making fast time in order to get here
to show the pictures, the train hav-
ing been delayed by a wreck. The ac-
cident occurred near the home of Mr..
Il. b. Bailey. When the machine crash
ed into the team driven by Mr.. An
derson, both Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson
were thrown out of the buggy and
the shaft of the buggy almost pierced
the shoulder OF the speeding rider.
The impact from the machine broke
the right fore-leg of the horse and it
was necessary to kill him to relieve
the pain.
The shaft made very ugly wound
in the shoulder of Mr. Smith, the re-
bound of the buggy causing it to free
itself from his shoulder, Mr.. Smith
falling beside the road. A few min
utes later several young men came by
in an automobile and picked him up
and carried him to Clinton, where
medical attention was given. The last
reports from his bedside yesterday
were to the effect that he was getting
along as we'll as could be expected.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson, though con-
siderably the worse for their expert
cnce, were not injured in any way.
