CANVAS COMPLETED
FOR ENDOWMENT
Presbyterians Successfully Close Cam
pnign for Raising 100000 for Edu-
catiOnal Institutions.

Columbia, S. c., March 29th.-
The Presbyterians of South Caro-
lima are rejoicing over the victory they
have won in the endowment fund
campaign they have been conducting
for some months.
The Joint committee, representing
the three institutions Of the church
in this State, that has been managing
the campaign met in Columbia yes
terday, when it was found by the
reports made that the 100000 they
had set out to raise had been sub
scribed in full, with a margin over.
1t is felt that this is no little achieve
ment for the $4,000 members of this
church to subscribe for it's colleges
in addition to the large amounts they
are regularly giving for current church
expenses and the extensive benevolent
work they are interested in
While the amount set out for, $780,
600, has now been subscribed, and
payments can thus begin, it is ex-
pected that many more subscriptions
VIII yet be made, enough more to
increase the list by $4,000, $4,000
of even $4,000. And this will pro-
vide for the expenses of the campaign
and also for the inevitable shrinkage.
1t is hoped by the members that
when collections are all in that not
less than 5000 600 will he roalizod
in cash

FLOOD WATERS SWEEP MIDDLE
STATES CAUSING GREAT DAMAGE
SAM PRICE CAUGHT.
Negro Who Killed Tom Hunter Satur-
day Night, March 22nd, Apprehend-
cd In CIinfon


day Night, March 22nd, Apprehend-
ed in Clinton.
Sam Price, the young negro who kill
ed Tom Hunter also colored, in this
city Saturday night, March 22nd. was
caught Sunday night in Clinton by
Policeman Powers, Of the Laurens
mill village. Policeman Powers came
upon the negro unexpectedly and only
learned the prisoners identity after
putting him under arrest as a suspi-
cious character.
The arrest came about in q peculiar
manner. Policeman Powers was in
Clinton Sunday night on other bust
ness and was standing at the railroad
station. An unknown negro came up
to him seeing that he was an officer
of the law, and reported that dis
guised and suspicious looking negro
was on the other side OF the building
preparing to take the train for Jack
sonville. Mr.. Powers Immediately
went in search of the negro and when
he found him, put him under arrest.
He discovered that the negro, who was
of bright mulatto color, had black
ened his face with shoe polish and
had put on n false mustache.. The
negro then stated that he was going
to Jacksonville, Fla, to see sick
brother. The policeman, however,
took him in tow, stating that he
would bring him to Laurens in order
to look further into his record. Re-
alizing he would be identified when
he reached Laurens, the negro then
told the officer that his name was
Sam Price and that he was the one
wanted for killing Tom Hunter. This
was rather surprising information to
the officer as Sam Price was unknown
to him. The negro was tightly hand
cuffed with telephone wire and the
journey was made by automobile to
Laurens whore the negro was safely
lodged in the county Jail
Although many reports have gone
abroad as to the whereabouts of
/ Price since the homicide occurred.
the negro declare that he has not left
the immediate vicinity of Laurens and
that he has had no communication
with his family. Asked as to his
sustenance since he has been at lodge.
he declared that he had had but little
and that what he had gotten was by
begging from negroes whom he did
not know. However, he does not
show any signs of hunger as he is
looking healthy and strong. On his
person were found 4S calibre pis-
tol end about twenty one dollars in
money. He said that he had this mon
ey and more besides when the killing
took place, having given part of 1t
to Carrie Hunter, the wife Of the
dead negro
1t is hardly probable that a pre-
liminary trial will be held as sufici-
ent evidence was offered at the coro-
! ners inquest to bind him over to the
court Of general sessions. which con-
Venes in June.

give lecture at the graded school
auditorium Friday evening, the pro-

subject "As Others See Us, and in
this he tells of the impressions which
other nations have of this country
and it's people. DR.. Snyder is always
a charming speaker and doubtless a
large number of people will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to hear

SELLS BANK BUILDING.
Bank OF Laurens Sells Building 1t now
Occupies to Laurens Trust COMPANY

Occupies to LauTens Trust Company
A deal was closed several days ago
by which the building now owned and
occupied by the Bank OF Laurens will
become the property of the Laurens
Trust company. While nearly all of
the details of the trade have been
gone through with and the contract
agreed to verbally the papers have
not yet been signed However all
the parties to the trade are agreed
as to the terms, so the signing of the
papers will be but a matter of rou-
tine. There is no Likelihood of hitch
in the trade.
MIR r.. A. Cooper, the president of
the trust company, states that they
have as yet no definite plans out
lined as to the disposition Of the
building, that he did not know wheth-
er or not the trust company would use
it as a home for it's own business.
This matter will probably come up at
a meeting of the stockholders to be
held at an early date
The new Bank of Laurens building
is now nearing completion and will
soon be ready for occupancy. 1t is a
very handsome structure and very
conveniently arranged. A number of
the Offices on the second floor have
already been spoken for and doubt
less every bit of space in 1t will be
in demand.

DINNER FOR VETERANS.
Annual Spread for the Old Veterans
to be Given April 26th. Large
Number Expected.

At a recent meeting of the Joseph
b. Kershaw chapter, United Daughters
of the Confederacy, lit was decided to
have the annual dinner to the old
veterans on the Goth of April. AS is
usual, all the old veterans of the coun
ty will be invited to Laurens to par
take Of sumptuous repast and to
meet with each other again. These
are always very happy occasions for
the old soldiers for they furnish the
one time in the year when many of
them can join together to renew ac-
quaintences and to recite past expert
ences
Until several years ago it was GUS
tomay to have these dinners upon
Memorial Day. At the last state con-
vention of the U. d. C's, however, it
was decided to issue a general order
to the chapters to invite the soldiers
to the annual dinners on days other
than Memorial Day. The ]. B. Ker-
shaw chapter, however, had already
adopted this plan, the dinner last year
having been given before Memorial
Day

HOOk-WORM CAMPAIGN

feCted.
The hookworm campaign which has
been conducted in this county for
the past ten weeks, came to a close
Saturday night after a great deal of
work had been accomplished. The
campaign was conducted by DR.. F..
M. Routh, Of the state board of health,
under the direction of the state board
of health with funds provided by that
board, the Rockefeller Sanitary Com
mission and the board of commissions
ers OF I.aurens county.
The report of the work done by DR..
Routh in this county showed that o.
600 people applied to him for examin-
alton to determine whether or not
they were infected. OF this number
391, or about 15 per cent, were found
to be infected These were supplied
with treatment by DR.. Routh and the
medicines were taken under his dir
ection. DR.. Routh stated that this
fection, other counties having showed
much larger percentage. OF to-
tai Of 1885 rural children between
the ages of six and eighteen years,
examined in 230 counties in eleven
states of the south, 7S,572 or nearly
81 percent were found to have the
disease. So the hookworm is not as
prevalent in this county as elsewhere.
Before leaving Dr. Routh stated
that he was very much pleased with
the treatment received in the county
at the hands of the physicians, the
supervisor, board of commissioners
and others and wished to thank them
for the kindness shown him. He will
go next either to Greenwood or New
berry to begin campaign.

The old officers of the association were reelected and fol- lowing the brief business session the time was spent in a renewal of old friendships, the strengthening of old ties and the relating of the stirring incidents of the Civil war Colonel Sprague was the principal speaker of the day and his address was heard with much interest.
 MT. Price was accompanied to the reunion by Mrs. Price. The only sur viving members of the regiment in this city are MT. Price, Mir Mitchell and George Sanders.

Fenton. discovered deer tracks in the gardens in the rear of their homes, on Oak street, early on Thursday morning, and while discuss ing the peculiar circumstance discov- cred the intruder in the vacant lot on Division street, in the rear of the Fen ton and Kind properties. Their excIa- nations started the deer bounding away. and the animal leaped into the yard of Dr. L. E. Walker, thence down to the sidewalk on Boswell avenue where it crashed into hitching post in its wild terror. The impact was terrific and resulted in the death of the animal after it had crossed the Franklin street park and entered the yard of Henry c. Wright at No. 230 Franklin street. In the Wright yard it crashed through a heavy wire fence and dropped dead The deer was a good sized buck. Game Warden George H. Bradford of Montv;lle was notified and came and saw tie deer and gave permission for it's removal MT. Wright did not care for the deer, so Street Commissioner Lillibridge took the carcass to the city barn, where it was dressed and distributed to friends of the commissioner
