THE JVERTISER FOUND

Local Boy in Paris Finds Page From

The general opinion is that Laurens
goes to Paris for its fashions. Prob
ably in the main that is true, but that
Laurens fashions are not unknown in
the gay French capital was abundant
ly proved not long ago to DR.. Dick
Fuller who is taking special work in
a large Paris hospital
According to a letter written to his
father, DR.. l.. S. Fuller, he was walk
ing along street in Paris a few
weeks ago when his eye happened to
light on the name of ''Minter Com
pany' displayed in glaring headlines
on a sheet Of newspaper. Curious to
see where else but in Laurens there
twas a store Of that name he picked up
the paper. To his surprise 1t was
loose sheet OF The Laurens Advertiser
containing a page advertisement Of
the Minter Company
1t has not been ascertained how the
paper happened to fall in the French
street, It's presence there will prob
ably remain one OF those unsolved
mysteries which time alone wipes from
the memory. A reasonable theory as
to the use it was being put before
dropped on the street, however, would
be that one of the thrifty French house
wives, getting into possession of the
paper in some manner was carrying
At down to one of. the French depart
ment stores to show what the fashions
were in Laurens and how cheap the
prices are.

held Saturday at State House on
call Of Governor Harvey:
I" Destroy the weevils' winter
quarters by plowing under cotton
and corn stalks and by cleaning
terraces, ditch banks and other
F" trash on the farm.
Prepare land early and tho
f" roughly. PLANT best seed Of ap-
p" proved varieties. Among tho best
F" varieties are Lightning Express,
" Cleveland Big Boil, Delta Type and
" Con wilt infested land) Dixie Tri-
" umph.
F" Use fertilizer sufficient, such. as
" would make a bale of cotton per
F." acre in an average season without
= the presence Of the weevil. This
will vary on individual farms.
: Make side applications Of soda
" early, before the first blooms ap-
" pear.
plant as soon as ground is warm.
y All cotton in given community
" should be planted at about the
same time (from the first to the
" middle of ApriD.
Practice frequent shallow culti-
yation to keep up fruiting. Prac-
tice thick spacing
Practice early square picking
If cheap labor is available. This
must be done very thoroughly ev-

be effective.
Definite recommendations on

HARRINGTON VOWEL FILMED
"The Man From Home" Coming to The
Princess Thursday.


Foremost among the novels which
have brought Booth Harrington last
ing fame, is undoubtedly "The Man
From Home" which has now been
translated to the screen and which
will be shown at the Princess Theatre
Thursday. With the action laid most
ly in italy, and several scenes in Eng
land and America, the story is q thrill
ing one and In its transferrarice to the
screen 1t has lost none Of it's intensi-
ty. Produced by George Fitzmaurice
for Paramount, it has been invested
with the customary fire and vigor ex-
pected from this vlrile director. One
OF the chief details is the excellent
cast, which comprises such fayorites
as James Kirkwood, Anna @, Nilsson
Norman Kerry, Dorothy Cumming and
John Miltern.

With 20,S02 to Same Date Last Year.
With 1899 bales ginned in the coun-

ton crop made in the county last year
Hardly more than 1000 more bales will
be gnned before the end OF the season
Conservative estimators say that the
crop is already practically ginned.
Condition of the grain crop over the
county, said Mr.. G. w. McCravy, who
travels over the county extensively in
making his cotton reports, is excellent
in places. On good lands, he said the
oat crop is especially fine. Consider
able acreage has been planted in oats
and fair acreage in wheat Very few
farmers, he said, have plowed up their
stalks as yet, though few progress

Local High School Takes in Union
High School by Score OF 6 to 0.
The game between Union Hi and
Laurens Hi here Friday afternoon was
ended, insofar as scoring was con-
cerned, In the first quarter when It'd
well, fast half-back Of the local team,
scooped up a tumble on Laurens thir-
ty-yard line and raced down the field
for touchdown. The placement kick
tailed and no more scoring was done.
Laurens came near scoring again in
the third quarter when Wright ran
forty yards to the ten yard line after
receiving punt from the Union toe
man. The Union lads held tight and
Laurens was only able to make six
yards in the four downs. When the
ball went over, Union punted out Of
danger and further chances for scor-
ing by Laurens ended there.
In the last quarter, the Union lads
began sensational aerial attack that
only tumble and the time-keepers'
watches saved from touchdown.
Realizing towards the last that they
could not win through the line, the
Union lads began to forward pass with
telling effect. The locals appeared un-
equal to the task OF intercepting the
passes and the ball appeared to land
IN Union hands at will In the last
five minutes Of play, the Union team
carried the ball almost the ,lengrn OF
the field, but when within ten yards of
the goal the whistle blew and the game
was 'over.
Laurens goes to Gaffney Friday of
this week, Gaffney has one Of the best
teams in the state, but the locals are
counting on giving them a run for
their money.

CTS Of Civic League Discuss Civic
! Center.
Plans for community hall for La,l-
rens were discussed at a joint meet
ing of the directors of the Laurens
Business League and officers of the
civic League held in the Peoples Loan
Exchange Bank building Friday
night: Mrs. j. S Bennett headed the
delegation from the Civic League.
The proposal for community hall
came from the Civic League. Mrs.
Bennett, In proposing the plan to the
Business League and asking for its
support in the project, said that yari-
Gus civic organizations felt the need
Of common meeting place and a place
where entertainments OF various kind
might be held, She said that the Civic
League really advocated a large con
vention hall where large gatherings
could be held and conventions enter
tanned, but that they would cooperate
with the Business League in a less
best at this time.
After the matter was thoroughly dis
cusscd, a motion was passed that COM
mlttees from the Business League and
the Civic League be appointed to thor
oughly study the question and make a
report to Pres. Wright, of the Busi-
ness League, who would then lay the
matter before the full meeting Of the
Business League. The general opin-
ion Of the meeting appeared to be that
it would be best at present to secure
suitable hall in the city at reason
able rental and furnish this tempor-
arily for the meeting of the Business
League and for any other uses for
which it might be found convenient,
