LEAGUE
TO BACK FARMERS

Agrees to Cooperate with Farm Dem
onstratOr In Securing Car of Cal
cium Arsenate for Cotton Dusting.
AT conference yesterday afternoon
between G. l.. Vaughan, county farm
demopstrator, and directors OF the
llaufcns Business League, plans were
definitely formulated to secure at least
carload of calcium arsenate for the
use Of Laurcns county farmers next
year. Mr.. Vaughan explained that the
price Of calcium arsenate was rapidly
rising and that it was important for
the welfare Of Laurens county farm
ers that at least carload of this in
secticide be definitely procured before
the price goes SO high as to work an
additional hardship.
Under the plan agreed upon at the
meeting yesterday afternoon the Bust
ness League assumed responsibility
Tor the major portion Of the cost of the
car. The individual user of the calcium
arsenate is to make first payment of
he wishes to order. Upon the arrival
OF the shipment in the spring of the
year, he will then pay down the rest.
The price delivered here will be
Sround II Or Is cents
i Mr.. Vaughan stated that the pre-
liminary order must be placed at
once. Therefore, he urges all the
farmers Of the county who wish to
take advantage of this plan to see him
at once. The smallest amount to be
Contracted for is 200 pounds.
Those unable to come to Laurens to
make arrangements in person may
send their checks to w. X, McCuen,
Secretary Of the Business League, who
will look after the matter. Those send
ing checks, however, are reminded
that 200 pounds is the minimum
amount sold and that the calcium ar
senate comes only in 200 pound sacks
which will not be broken

Smith burglary was committed. None
Of the articles recovered from him or
which were found to have been sold by
him between Waterloo and Coronaca

tilted as coming out of the burned
store.

supposed to have been OF incendiary
or accidental origin. The burglary
and fire happening on the same night
lead to the belief that one party was
guilty Of both. Bish Williams was ar
rested by constable at Coronaca} the
morning after the fire. He had some
Of the loot Of the, burglary in his pos
session and admitted selling some Of
it to negroes along the roah the light

RED CROSS TO
ASK COUNTY SUPPORT
To Petition Legislature to Make Ap.

and County Nurse.

| ~ OeA0hoh bob W udhS Ap"
preparation for County Physician
and County Nurse.
at a meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the Laurens Chapter Of the
Red Cross, Tuesday morning it was
decided to endeayor to secure an ap-
preparation from the Legislature to
carry on the health work Of the Red
Cross for the coming year. At present
the Red Cross has not enoush funds
to continue the work After the de-
parture Of the county nurse, Miss Cos
sett whose resignation takes effect in
January, the work vii lbe abandoned
unless state aid is given.
The Red Cross hopes for an appro-
priation that will give them a health
unit" consisting Of 4 county physician
and nurse. In that case the funds of
the Red Cross can be used in individ-
ual and special cases for clinics, home
service work, and work among dis
! abled' soldiers. For the last year the
county nurse was supported by the
Red Gross and anti-tuberculosis
league, with funds that these organ
izatiOns had already on hand. Accord
ing to the statement Of one Of the
members Of the committee, Newberry
county with an organization no larger
than that Of Laurens has unit con-
sisting OF county physician, nurse and
home demonstrator under state con-
troll, and it is therefore hoped that
ILaurens' will be given the same aid
To date, the Red Cross in their re-
cent drive have secured over 400 men,
berships of dollar each, and it is
hoped to raise this number to 500 be-
fore the drive closes. One-half of this
sum goes to national headquarters for
relief work, and the other half is the
only money that the local chapter Sc
cures TO carry on their health work
The annual drive for selling Red
Cross anti-tuberculosis stamps is now
on under the leadership OF Mr., r. r.
Wilson, chairman Of the Laurens chap
ter of the anti-tuberculosis league. The
Red Cross and the Anti-Tuberculosis
league are entirely separate organiza-
tiOns but arc united for the purpose
Of selling these stamps.

FIRE STAKTING IN BENCHOFF'S
5 AND 10 CENTS STORE MONDAY
EVENING DOES SERIOUS DAM

EVENING DOES SERIOUS DAM
AGE.
Benchoff's 5 and 10 cents store,
bulging with holiday goods was seri-
ously damaged by fire Monday even
ing short time after the store had
been closed for the day "a bright glow
was first seen in the rear end of the
second floor by parties on the opposite
side Of the square. Within few min
utes the fire truck was on the scene
and for over an hour the fire depart
ment and volunteer assistants battled
against the smoke and flames in an en-
deavor to save the building and con-
tents. 6p account of the dense vol
ume of$smoke the fire lighters found
difficulty In locating the flames and it
was not until hole had been cut III
tho roof In the rear end of the store
was 1t possible to bring the fire under
absolute subjection. While it was
found that the flames had been con-
hned largely to the rear end Of the
second floor, tho entire store was dam
aged by water and smoke. When the
flames were finally subdued and the
smoke had cleared away, o deep pool
Of water was still settled Oh the Sec
ond floor and dripping to the first
floor beneath.
The exact origin of the fire is un-
known Mf. Benchoff said yesterday
that the store was closed about the
usual hour, around six o'clock. In the
afternoon an oil stove had been burn
Ing on the second floor, but this was
extinguished about five o'clock and
showed no signs Of an explosion af-
ter the fire, a fire was left in the
stove on the first floor in the ear of the
building and this was found still burn
ing, when the firemen entered the
Tho chimney fue from this
stove runs up through the second
floor and has an opening for another
stove in the small reserve stock room
where the first glow of flames was
seen. It is possible that sparks from
the stove beneath went up the flue and
escaped through this hole, igniting
some of the infiammable christmas
goods nearby. This was the only
theory that Mr.. Benchoff could think
of yesterday as to- the fires origin.
Mf. Benchoff said yesterday that it
was difficult to arrive at definite es-
innate Of his loss. Most of his stock,
being Of flimsy materials and Of light
colors was easily damaged by water
and smoke even though they were not
reached by the flames. A conservative
estimate. of the amount OF stock car
ried, he said, would be around $23,-
00O Insurance was carried in the
amount Of $4,000 "
Mr.. Benchoff said that he expected
the fire adjusters to arrive either to-
day Or tomorrow and that he hoped
for an immediate settlement, in which
case he would opeS again in time to
serve. the Christmas trade.
