Laurens Advertiser. Doubtless no other feature of the J x J rs\ o loro'nr Qeiy next r 1'iua.v ?VUI 1CV/C1 a laibi-i j share of attention than will the mov-j ing picture man. This is an entirely new "wrinkle" in county fair programs and it promises to furnish its part as a drawing feature for the day. Manager Lavender, of the local moving picture house, as has been before stated, has secured a moving picture man to come here the day of the school fair to take scenes along the line of march during the school parade and to visit other points of interest in the city to take pictures to be [ {shown here and elsewhere. The = School Fair of Laurense county is' j probably the first fair in the south to i I Itqva nirfiirps taken of it in this way.) I Several days after the fair, time enough being give to develop the films, the pictures will be shown in j the opera house here, at . .ewberry, j Yorkville and other places. One thousand feet of film will be used in the picture. The greater part of it will be taken up with the parade in the afternoon. In this parade the school children, the trustees and teachers are expected to take part. Besides these, the military company, the police force, the fire department and other local associations are invited to enter. Automobilists of the city are expected to bring out their machines and fall in line with their cars decorated, if possible. After 'the parade, the picture man will go to the athletic grounds whei'e he will take ? pictures of the boys while going through with their stunts. All of the athletics will probably be lined up and a group picture taken of them at the same time. In addition to the scenes taken in connection with tiie school fair. the picture man will visit the glass factory, probably the cotton mills, the residence districts and other places, where pictures will be taken showing the commehcial activities of the city and her beautiful advantages as a place of residence. Mr. lavender is going to considerable expense in having this man here the day of the fair, so he is expecting the people to co-operate with him in securing the best possible pictures and scenes in the city. Unless the people take an interest in it, the picture will not show up the city as well as it should and its value as an advertisement will not be very great, so everybody is urged to take a per sonal interest in this phase of the day and get into the parade with automobiles, carriages and horses. TO CREATE THIRD JUDGESHIP. Addtional Office for Fourth Circui/. W?| ? *1 tirAA misun r?Yurs i?wus. Washington, April 12.?It is rumored here today that an understanding has been reached that the judiciary committee of the senate will next week report on a bill creating a third judgeship in the fourth judicial circuit of the United States, which is now one of the very few circuits with only two judgos, and that Chairman i Clayton, of the house judiciary com- j mittee, tyas promised that the n^as-! ure shall be likewise reroit?d in the | house at the earliest po-:sibI?? moment. { The understanding is said to be that if this bill is pushed to adoption Representative .John W. Davis, of West Virginia, will be appoint d to the va-1 r eancy in the fourth circuit caused by j x t _ .1 I V o f V* o r? rinfF tfl. me eiecuun ui > uugc .>auiau uUU, , the I'nited States senate, and that! Associate Justice Charles A. Woods, of the South Carolina supreme court, will be appointed to the additional judgeship. President Wilson is said to have expressed himself as decidedly inclined to appoint Justice Woods to the circuit bench, but is willing to appoint I Representative Davis also if a posi' tion is available. Mr. Davis cannot be appointed to the new place because the law prohibits the appointj ment of any member of congress to j fill a position created while he is a | member. Some m?jn don't care about tho i ; sue as long as they can b hold the emblem on the ballot. i EYANS CASE CONTINUED. The Supreme Court Continues the Case Against B. B. Evans Accoun/ Sickness Brother.

As everybody knows these days, tlie fly from his breeding place in 'he pile ( of filth is the cause of typhoid fever. Al?o that each fly may become the progenitor of millions during one j summer. If all these eggs 'hat are j h ing deposit d now by the fli^s that i have survived the winter are destroy- i f ed the town would be practically fly- ? less during the summer. The simplest thing is to cover all manure piles, etc., with frequent sprinklings of lime. A solution of carbolic acid, or of kresa, or of several other germicides is recommended. But, by all means, at least once a week go over] your premises ana ao some one or these things. Every teacher in the schools is urged to irtpress upon the children in her i care the supreme importance of these i things. Many lives may be saved j through such well-directed efforts.

Ill-Will Occasioned !?y Peabody Inci- 1 dent?Governor Blease Makes ^UlIVVWVU. Columbia Record, 12th. j An error crept into the rcport in the Columbia Record yesterday of the results of the investigation into the statement of Governor Blease that it had been said Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of the University of oSuth Carolina, h?d introduced a resolution into ] a faculty meeting to the effect that + nf tho Vradlifltes Of the | Lilt? Ul^iv/iii?.o vi university should not be sent to the chief executive for his signature. One of the paragraphs of the article r?ad: "At the meeting of the board of trustees in the governor's office some time since when Governor Blease in- j troduced the resolution which he alone voted for, that the resignation ! of Dr. Mitchell should be requested, he assfenrd as a reason for his ani- ' mus to Dr. Mitchell that he was informed on reliable authority that the i university head had presented such a proposition to the faculty. On motion of Mr. Swearingen, a committee was appointed to examine into the charge." Governor Blease denies that he "has any animus against Dr. Mitchell for ] not presenting him with the diplomas for his signature;" that the only grievance he entertains against the < head of the university is for the signing the Peabody resoiuti&n that was ] investigated some time ago. In this connection, Governor Blease 1 said: "I am fighting Mitchell because he is in favor of taking the white people's money to educate negro teachers, r and I propose to keep fighting him until he comes out of that college, regardless of circumstances. . . . I i care nothing about signing the dip'oras. as I stated to the board, and I ?are nothing about sigiiing them this year." t KEY. COKE I). >1 AN\ Hl'KIED.

He was one of the older e nembers of the South Carolina con-^ Perence, and there was probably not a more widely known minister in the State.
