After a few minutes spent in greet Lg th-ese gentlemen and others the thfinders were privileged to enjoy a rief informal reception in the hand ome apartments of Col. F. S. Evans. By that time it bacama apparent that the party would have to move on im ediately if Laurens was to be reach d at a reasonable hour in the even 0 Mr. G. W. Gardner, Jr., after hav g escorted the pathfinders from ewberry to Greenwood, very kindly olunteered to set them some miles apon their way toward Laurens,'and for about five miles out he led the way in his Maxwell runabout, accom panied by Mr. Joel S. 3ailey. Capt. bangford's flying Ford -.ok the lead when Mr. Gardner turned back and et a pace that over the r;ds tra versed -was worthy of the best en leavors of the doughty Brush. It was :35.o'clock when the start was made from Greenwood and it took the party axaetly three hours to cover the 26 1-2 miles to Laurens, the hour of arrival in Laurens being 9:35 p. m. Laurens Alive. Four miles east of Laurens th-e athfinders and their escort <were met bv four automobiles containing a com mittee headed by Editor -S. E. Boney f the Laurens Advertiser. In Dr. H. K.

From the meeting point the Laurens escort set a stiff pace ato the city and within a few minutes the pathfinders were comfortably uartened at Gray's hotel. At supper the Columbia and New erry visitors were joined by a num ber of Laurens citizens, most of whom had been of the escort. and after the pasant meal there began a confer ne upon the Capital-to-County pro eet which will 'have concrete results f large importance. Mr. S. E. Boney resided. After considerable discus sion covering many details, but which was principally significant as showing he intense interest felt by the citi zens of Laurens in the promotion of better highways to the capital of the State, Mr. John K. Aull of The New bery Herald and News crystallized the sentiment of the meeting in a resolu tion, which was unanimously adopted, to this effeet: Pra.ctical Plans. That a committee composed of R. A. Coper, of Laurens, Dr. E. M. Whaley. f olum:bia. E. H. Aull, of Newberry, Dr. J. W. Eargie. of Spring Hill, Lex ngton county, and William G.

On behalf of the Laurens motor ists. Capt. Smyth urged that the com mittee meet in Laurens. He promised that the automobile owners of Lau rens would make the occasion one well :m-thi the journey. LEGISLATOR GIVES LIE. Georgia Law-Maker Uses Harsh Lan guage As to Georgia Min ister. Atlanta, Ga.. .July T.-The Anti Prohibitionists in the State Legisla ture forgot the truce to-day, rolled up their sleeves, grabbed their war clubs and sailed into the opposition with noh bitter invectives that an aged lerk shook his head and remarked: "Nothing like that ever happened in the Legislature in the forty years \e been attending it.'" 'began when Anderson, of - -n2 the near tion of per ioisten his oudhis cal minister named the Rev. Len G. Broughton, is quoted in the press as having said. in a sermon that I was fighting the near beer bill because I had bought stock in a Savannah brew ery after the prohi)ition bill was assed. and that I was the only man I the State who had made money out ol prohibition in Geo-ria. I desire to say that this preacher ji t. wilful. ma licious. reckless, malignc nt and vi cious liar. I fully expected to be as sailed and villified -%:-hen I obeyd my constituents' will and opposed the Alexander bill. But I never even dreamed that. a mir ster of the Gospel, a follower of Him -;i .o preached char ity and taught truth, would stoop to become a slanderer and a commcn liar. "In the first place, no Savannah brewery, nor stock in one has been sold since prohibition went into effect. Hence this is another lie of the rev erend hypocrite. About fifteen years ago I bought ten shares in a Savan naI brewery. and paid $100 a share. I was out of the State when tha pro hibition bill passed, and when I re turned and tried to sell my stock, I could not. It is now worth about $50 or $60 a share, but cannot be sold. "This Alexander bill is a new pro hibition bill, and 'we already have the strongest prohibition bill ever drafted. If it be not enforced. t'en it is because the officers are negligent and the people do not want it en forced. I 'have never placed as much as a. straw ip the way of its enforce ment. But you know you cannot en force an unpopular law." Anderson sat down in a breathless silence, and little Representative J. A. Slade, slight, dignified and minis terial looking arose. Slade is from Muskogee county, and is a. Baptist minister.the same denomination which Broughton serves. Every one - ex pected a bitter retort to Anderson's outburst. What was the astonish ment of all, then, when Slade w-ent even further than Anderson in de nouncing his fellow clergyman. "I was astounded and insulted,'' he said. "to hear the -slander heaped upon a worthy member of this Legis lature by a man who professes to be a minister of the Gospel. I am a Mis sionary Baptist preacher. I believe in and practice temperance, but do not believe in prohibition. In the name of all good Baptists, however, I want to reesnt this attack upon Mr. Anderson by a long-haired, loud moutled, itinerant preacher, who has done more harm to the temperance cause tahan all the brewers and dis tillers in the world. And th~e really honest temperance advocates should realize that unless they curb these freak extr.emists,they will see the pen dulum swing to the other extreme.'' Speaker Holden did not let any one else get the floor, declining to recog niz several excitable members, and calmly forcing a resumption of t,he onsideration of the tax bill. Dr. Broughton Issues Rejoinder. Atlanta, Ga., July 27.-Dr. Brought on to-night gave out the following statement in regard to the scathing denunciation he received at the hands of Repnesentative Anderson: "I am glad, at least, if I have done nothing else than force Mr. Anderson to acknosvledge in the House of Rep resentatives, where he is posing as the c:hampion against legislation for the prevention of the near beer evil, that he is a stockholder in a brewery, one, at least. in Savannah, that is mafacturing more near beer than any other in the State ' It is immaterial, so far as the point I made against his right to sit. in judgment upon such legislation, whether he has recently bought stock or not. It is a fact that he owns the stok and that lines up with the whis key interests.' Pocket Money for Boys. The New York Sunday World wants a bright boy in the town to sell the Sunday World.
