One OF the City's Stnunchest Citizens
Passed Away Last Wednesday.

Last Wednesday morning the many
friends of Mr.. Luther A. McCord We're
panied to hear of his death which oc-
CURED during the early morning
hours of that day. Mr.. McCord had
been in Ill health for number of
months, SO his death, while not cx-
pccted so soon, was not a surprise.
The funeral services were held at
his residence Thursday morning at
ten o'clock. the Rev. l.. p. McGee, his
pastor. conducting them. The body
was then carried 20 the Laurens Gem
e.erv where i: WAS inferred with me
sonic honois. Numerous beautiful
floral tributes from friends in Lau-
rcns and elsewhere were strewn on
the grave attributing to the high es-
TEEN in which the deceased was held
The pail bearers were Messrs G.. H.
Roper, r. e. Babb, II A. Cooper H.
Terry, j. F. Bolt, and Dr. Clifton
Jones.
Mr.. McCord was native of Able
Vile county, having come to Laurens
about twenty seven years ago where
he entered business as clerk. He
later went into the mercantile bust
ness for himself and successfully con-
tinued this for a number of wears
During the later years of his life he
has been conducting a photograph

Mr.. McCord was sc years of age. He

WERE ENROLLED
IN HIGH SCHOOL
Percentage OF Enrolment i'm City
High School Largely Exceeds Aver
age for the United States.

superintendent b. l.. Jones, of the
Laurens City Schools, has received
from State Supt. j. Il. Swearingcn an
Acknowledgement of his annual re-
port on the schools of Laurens. The
letter OF Mr.. Swearingen is very com
plimentary to the high school depart
ment here, the Laurens schools show
ing a percentage of II per cent of to-
tai enorllment in the high school,
whereas the percentage of high school
boys and girls over the entire coun-
try is but s per cent. The following
are several paragraphs from the let
ter of Mr.. Swearingen:
Accept my congratulations on your
fine high school enrolment. The per-
centage of high school boys and girls
in Laurens is II per cent; for the
United States as whole it is only
s per cent Will you be good enough
to write me what causes contribute to
bring about this condition."
"Laurens county has large excess
negro enrolment, Is your report of
the city negro school accurate in this
particular? The reported negro en-
rolment is far below the figures for
whites"
The high percentage of high school
boys and girls in the city schools can
be partly accounted for by the fact
that there are no local colleges or
preparatory schools to draw the schol-
ars away before finishing the regular
school course. Other than that, there
are hardly no other reasons for this
except a desire on the part of the
scholars and their parents for bette"
preparation before entering college. 1t
ispossible, however, that the high
school department here includes low
er grades than are included over 9TH
er parts of the country. 1t can be
safely said, though, that there is
tendency in Laurens toward better
preparation before ending college or
before entering business.
The excess of white children over
negro children in the city schools can
be explained by the fact that there are
two largely attended private negro
schools in the city.

Burglars at Red Iron Racket.

Saturday night or early Sunday
morning, burglar or burglars en-
tered the store of j. G Burns & Com
pary from one of the rear windows
and stole a considerable quantity of
goods including watches, shoes, dry
goods and other things. An entrance
was made through one of the windows
on the main floor. about fifteen feet
from the ground The intruder climb
ed to this window by means of a lad
der brought from the negro church
being built few hundred yards in the
rear of the store. Mr.. Burns Is un-
certain as to the value of the goods
stolen, though he thinks that the
burglars made rather healthy haul
This is the thir- time that the store
has been robbed. Just few months
ago thief entered the store from
one of the lower windows in the rear
and carried off sugar and other ar
ticles.

When School Opens.

superintendent b. l.. Jones, who has
been in the city for several days look
ing after some business matters of
the schools and attending to other at
fairs. stated several days ago chat he
was happy to announce to the children
that school would take up" this year
on Monday, the eighth of September.
Doubtless this is pleasant news 10 The
school children (?). No action has yet
been taken toward the movement to
add another grade to the high school
department and It is hardly probable
that 1t will be added this year. The
trustees hope 20 take this stop some
time in the future.

Watts Mills, the "champeens" of the
{. N. & L. League were defeated on
the home grounds last Saturday by
Enoree. The game was lost in the ini-
tial round, when a scorching single to
centre scored three Enoree men. An
other scored in the same inning. In
The fifth the visitors scored another
through errors. Watts succeeded in
pushing only one across the platter.

though the punched hits and errors in
the first lost him the advantage.
