Palmetto Bank of Lau rens, Wins Its Suit. Laurens, Oct. 28.—The fall term of Common Pleas court for the trial of civil cases with Circuit Judge W. H. Townsend of Columbia, presiding,jwas yesterday engaged in a suit brough by A. J. Milling, E. G. Fuller and J. W Spratt against Holland Mereantile~Co; j, Several cases have been disposed of since Monday morning and the session is scheduled to exterrtf-Thropgl^Jthis week and next. Two case's brought against the State and County Highway commis sions have been settled outside of court, it was announced. One was brought by Mr. Brownlee and the oth er by Mr. Tom Childress. Each was based on camplaints of alleged im proper drainage. The case that involved the greatest amount this week was that of Mrs. Eugenia M. Brow.; against the Pal metto bank for the possession of a time certificate of deposit of $2,000. The certificate is on the Enterprise bank and had been used as collateral for a loan at the Palmetto bank by the plaintiff’s husband, W. P. Brown. The plaintiff denied that she had given permission for the certificate to be used as^ollateral but in a deposition taken a short while before his death Mr. Brown stated that Mrs. Brown had endorsed it. The defendant bank was awarded a verdict of $2,838.11, the amount due on the loan. A mistrial was made in the suit of M. E. Dyess against B. M. Wolff for an alleged balance due on an automo bile. The defendant alleged that the car was not as represented. J. B. Colt & Co., secured a verdict of $353.89 against W. G. Martin and Mary Martin for air'alleged balance due on a lighting plant. The defense claimed that the plant was unsatisfac tory and practically worthless. The verdict was directed by court. A consent verdict of $250 was tak en in the case of Clarence Franks against Lucius Burns for injuries re ceived in an automobile wreck while the plaintiff was riding with the de fendant. Franks was in the hospital several months and is still an inva lid. •* Statistics recently gathered op the Presbyterian college ^student body, show four denominations represented ip the enrollment, Presbyterians, of course, being in the majority with 211.

M. McMillan. Present sources of water, the may- l or declared, are entirely inadequate to | meet the needs of the city. This in adequacy, he added, is sharply appar ent in the fact that there is insuffi cient water to properly flush the sewer systems with the result that the ! city in infested during the warm i months with mosquitoes. It would be more generally apparent, he continued, were Clinton visited by a large fire bepause three to four hours pumping by the new motor engine would en- j tirely exhaust the water supply and leave the department helpless to com bat the blaze any further. The projected Ehincan’s creek sup ply will be sufficient to meet the needs of Clinton with the Increased popula tion which is anticipated during the next few years, the mayor said. Not only will its development insure bet ter sanitary conditions, but it will also result in a reduction of the fire insur- anc£ rates by approximately 25 per cent on residential and 20 per cent on business property, thus effecting a i saving to residents of the city which will in all probability more than bal ance the interest and sinking fund re quirements of the bond issue. The proposed issue, Mayor McMil lan said, will not iiicrease the tax levy more than two mills, and it is hoped that by careful management, it may not amount to that much. Plans for the Duncan’s creek devel opment, he explained, have been pre pared on recommendations made by two competent engineering firms which made detailed surveys and stud- dies of the local water situation. He is confident, the mayor said, that the best possible solution has been reach ed. and that it is essential to the pub lic welfare that the bond issue be au thorized. f t—L 1 1—H i 1 j i 1 11 1 11 1 1 r— 1 I r— 1 fr^ 1 N An Unrivaled Assemblage of New and Distinctive FALL AND WINTER GOODS NOW GREETS YOU HERE! 1 0 0 The fine quality of the season’s oferings, the large and pleas ing varieties of desirable goods and the exceptionally low pric es are making new friends and customers for this store.
