S< ENES IN PICTURES.
For the First Time in the History of
Laurens Xoving Pictures Will he
Taken of Scenes Here.
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.

certainly a great deal of sickness will

put their premises in a sanitary condition,
while your manure pile or tin
cans may cause typhoid and malaria
through the entire neighborhood.
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. I

DR. MITCHELL GOES TO VIRGINIA 3

chell, president of the University of 1
South Carolina, has rtennir.eiy accept- i
ed the offer of the presMercy of the ;
consolidated medical col'eges at Rich- i
mond, Virginia. This information was ]
received here to-nigiit :r. :i t-legram 1
from Dr. Mitchell hinise1*, who is at 1
present in Richmond. ]
Pressure had "oeen brought tc boir <

to endeavor to get fhe Virginia ;
authorities to release him. but they ;
turned back when a telegram wa^ re- i
I
ceived stating that Dr. Mitchell had
accepted the presidency and that they
would not release him. Dr. Mitchell
himself went to Richmond.
Th-ere is widespread regret at Dr.
Mitchell's leaving the university, and
it is looked on by many as a great
blow to the cause of education in the

^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

Mr. Mann was 64 years of age and j

nembers of the South Carolina con-^
Perence, and there was probably not a
more widely known minister in the
State. The announcement of his death
Dccasioned deep sorrow here, where
ae was as well known, he having resided
here for a number of years, and
up to about a year ago, when his
