One man leaned forward in his seat j
in a box, tense with excitement. Bat ]
met ball with a crack, and the; j
sphei'oid sailed out toward the far-']
thest bleachers for a homer.'
The crow rose?all but the man i

j USING "UNEMPLOYMENT'"
i
As Argument to Get Republican ;

! Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 21?Govern- j
' or Cox said today that he is going j
! to investigate circumstances sur- ]
'rounding the laying off of workmen !
: in various industries following re- j
j ceipt of alleged information that Re- !
' publican leaders are planning to US2 j
"unemployment" as a"n argument in j
persuading workmen to vote against i
the Democratic ticket. The Presiden-JI
tial nominee said the survey first will j
be directed at the American Woolen's
11
Company and a "certain railroad 1
system." .

that a thousand men had betn
laid off in one Toledo plant alone'
"for political purposes."
TO BUILD CLUBHOUSE.
Laurens, Aug. 21?Laurens and(
Clinton have joined forces and or-]
ganized an, association for a country
club which will be located on a sit?
about midway between the two towns
on the new highway. George H.
Young, well known citizen of Clinton j
donated the tract, an inviting woodland,
well suited for the purposes of
the promoters. One hundred and sixty
members have been secured, and
these will pay the sum of 5100 each'
Ample building quarters will be pro-j
vided, with a lake and other things
that go with the modern country club |
"Rois Terre" is the name of the club I
and it is expected that the place will
be ready for use by next summer.'
Officers for the first year have been'
elected, with George M. Wright of
Laurens as president and J. F. Ja-|
cobs of Clinton, vice president. The
following comprise the board of di-l
rectors: Dr. H. K. Aiken, Dr. W. D
Ferguson, N C Hughes and E D Eas-j
terby of Laurens and Dr E. A. Spen-!
cer, James R. Copeland, E. J. Adairj
and John Spratt of Clinton. A charter

!t
Anderson, Aug. 21.?M. T. Gra-t
ham, who lives about a mils from the ^
city, says two men and a boy left a1
Hupmobile at his home August 10. t
They asked if they could leave the 3
car until they could come to the city ^
to get some parts for repairs. Later r
they came back'in a Bulck, saying j
they had traded the Hup and the1
owners would come for it, and Mr. <
Graham believes that the car must
have been stolen. There is no license
tag on" it, and Mr. Graham says the
men would not tell their names and
acted peculiarly.
