sST Will practice in ail Courts ?of
The Court,
The Court of General Sessions, for
this county, was called at 10 o'clock,
a. m., on yesterday. Judge I. D. With
orspoon presiding, and Solicitor
Sohumport at his desk. Stenographer
Campbell hod swapped circuits with
Stenographer D. Wlatt Alken, of the
Eight Circuit, who was present, a
most accomplished officer.
His Honor forebore addressing the
Grand Jury upon their general dutlos,
they having been fully instructed at a
previous term and proceeded to instruct
them upon the Bills before the Court.
In the course of his remarks he stated
that in some counties complaint was
made that the county chain gang
was abused, boys for economy and In
competent parties employed as guards,
the convicts abused, and Inhumanly
treated. He had heard no complaint
as to this county, but tho Grand Jury
should look Into th .> administration of
the County Chain Gang law.
The first case tried was tho State vs.
William Williams, colored, charged
with house breaking and larceny. He
had no counsel, was convicted and son
tenced to nine months on tho chain
gang. To-day Is fixed for tho trial of
1 Merer. Anderson, colored, for murdor,
and also for tho trial of Ike Dial, col
ored, likewise for murder. Theso cuses
exolto but little Interest. Tho crowd In
attendance Is large. The criminal
court will probably hold tho court and
jury until Wondesday night. Thoro Is
but little civil business for tho Court,
which will probably riso on Friday.
At this writing a jury Is out In tho
case of John H. Powers ohargod with
violation of tho dispensary law. Tho
caso of tho Stato vs. John W. Mooro Is
now being Investigated charged with
the robbery of a Syrian poddlor during
last spring. Tho prosocuting witness
claims to have, boon robbod of &10.00
In cash. He testified through an in
terpreter?likewise a Syrian.
Slnco writing tho abovo Powers and
Moore havo both been acqulttod and
discharged.
Tho Rov. Robort A. Loo whoso tragic
death by lightning in North Carolina
is announced was well known in our
city, having several years ago served
tho Episcopal church as It lay reador.
In the last issue of this paper ho was
announcod to conduct the sorvice in
that church for last Sabbath. It was
therefore a terrible shock to his former
loving parishioners when they learned
of tho terrible dispensation of his sud
den death. Ho was a young man of great
promise, highly educated and talontod,
of exceeding modesty and universally
beloved. In the putting out of his
young lifo tho Stato and socloty loses
one of tho noblest of tho promising
sons of tho Stato. His father and
family will bo consoled to know how
universally he was beloved by all those
with whom In his short lifo ho had been
brought in association. Our consolation
Is to bond our hearts submissive to
to the terrible stroke.
Cant. Frank Evans, Super Intendant
of Schools of Spartanburg, Is visiting
in the city whoro Mrs. Evans and the
children aro with their parents. Cant.
Evans has just roturned from Buffalo,
tho beautiful city, whoro ho attended
tho National Convention of teachers,
the attendance being twenty thousand.
Capt. Evans is ouo of the enthusiastic
teachers of the State.
The King's Daughters will bo glad to
receive contributions of money, cloth
ing, (for women and children), bed
clothing, shoes, calico and cotton cloth
In the pleco and groceries. Persons
contributing can send to olthor Misses
Allle Webb, Luclllo Wright or Leila
Wllkos or notify them and they will
call for donations.

Obituary.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord from henceforth: yea 8 a i t h the
Spirit tbat they may rest from their
labors' and their works do follow them."
These words may with propriety be
applied to our Sister, Mrs. Polly Brown,
who departed'this life June 28 th, 1896.
For many years she bad been a mem
ber of Durban Creek Church, where she
was baptized in the days of her youth.
She was a woman of good report, having
lived so as to impress the people that
with her religion of our God was a reali
ty and not a mere profession, i
It was her delight to meet faithfully
the obligations that rested on her as a
Christian and a church member.
Though an invalid for some time be
fore bor death, and confined to the nar
row limits of her bed room, she never
murmured or complained, but bore it all
with a Christian fortitude.
A brother called to see her a few days
before her death. She said to him, she
had nothing to fear. She could see ber
way clear. She was only waiting God's
time to call her up higher. She could
read her titles clear to mansions in the
Skies.
She requested before she diod that at
her burial "Lotus pass over the River"
be sung at her burial.
A large company of bor relatives and
friends gathered atDnrban Creek Church
to witness the burial. ? .
On the 4th of July, 1896, Mrs Amanda
Chapman was called from earth to heav
en, and on the fifth day her body was
laid to rest in the Beulab Baptist ceme
tery. The funeral service was conduct
ed by the writer, and the high esteem in
which this noble Christian woman was
held, was evidenced by t h e hundreds
that at ton ded the service.
Mrs Chapman was the wife of our be
loved Bro. W. E. Chapman. She was
born in the upper part of this connty,
near the Greenville lino, whore she lived
and died. This doar sister was tho Vic
time of that much dreaded disease,
cancer. She w a s a long and patient
sufferer, exemplifying most beautifully
the character of Jesus, whom she truly
and devotedly loved, Mrs Chapman was
truly a good Christian woman. Was de
voted to Beulah Baptist church, of which
she was a member, and was always
ready for service in every good word and
work. Perhaps no member of the church
was more willing to sacrafice than she
for the happiness of others and for the
glory of God. She was a dear lover
of tho woman's missionary society, and
when not possible, by failure of slrenght,
for her to attend the meeting of the So
ciety she was not forgetful of her duty.
In the death of our esteemed sister the
church has lost one of its agresslve, de
voted and consistent members. The
community has lost one of its noblest and
purest characters. Her relatives have
lost a generous and true lover. Her
Husband mourns bis sad fate.
Brother, how dark must seem this world
Wftile left alone;
When .\?st kindness, affection and faith
fnlltf?"

A Gala Week for Laurens.
The quiet of our city for months past
will be awakened to a scene full of ac
tivity on the occasion of the Military
Encampment to be held here for the
week begining August 4th. On this
date Laurens will open wide her gates
to all Carolina and will extend a glad
welcome, not only to the State troops,
but to all who may visit us on that oc
casion. Our progressive, public-spiri
ted citizens who'feel a just pride in
their city have met and put the wheel
of progress in motion by selecting the
necessary committees, who are now ac
tively pushing the work to assured
success. Already a beautiful site for
the camp grounds has been selected, to
which nature has bountifully bestowed
her shade of mammoth oaks and velvity
grass. Here the hundreds of white
tents, filled with gallant soldier hoys
with their munitions of war, will pres
ent a scene to excite the admiration of
the many. To the old soldier it will
reeall many tender 'memories of their
comrades and mess mates of long ago,
who tented on the fields of Virginia.
The entire white militia of the State
is invited and will be under the com
mand and discipline of Col. Wardlaw,
of the third regiment. It is hoped that
an artillery company will attend.
Several base ball clubs, including
Charleston, Augusta and Kock Hill have
been invited and are expected to furn
ish enjoyment to nil admirers of the
national game..
The managers of the opera house are
arranging for lirst-elass attractions for
the week.
The Laurens Guards, and the Gary
Watts Guards of Madden, are getting
into line for the occasion. The Brass
Hand is adding to their supply of lively
music and practising almost daily.
A banquet and military ball will be
among the attractions.
The different committees ask and
should have the support of every citizen
of this city to aid them in this the big
gest attraction Laurens has ever under
taken.
A well attended meeting of citizens
was held at Bendella Hotel last Mon
day afternoon for the purpose of ar
ranging for the Encampment and Gala
Week, which begins here August 4th.
The following committees were select
ed and will begin work at once:

There exist no valid reasons why
Laurens cannot conduct a successful
mid-summer festival unless the apathy
and indifference of our people should
prove to be an obstacle, and we cannot
believe that so splended an opportunity
of advertising our many advantages
will go un-improved. Let the old men
and the young men work together in
this instance. The amusements of the
one class may not be the amusements
of the other, but this is Immaterial, the
main object to keep always in view is
to bring crowds of strangers among us
and then to impress them with the fact
that Laurens is a live, growing, push
ing town, and not a sleepy, .slumberous
Courthouse in the backwoods.
To the Unlisted Troops.
A cordial invitation is hereby tender
ed the Companies of t he different Regi
ments of the State to visit' Laurens and
join the 8rd Regiment in an Encamp
ment to begin August Ith and last one
week. The Companies are invited to
come under the auspices of the 3rd Re
giment, which will make every effort;
to insure the military a pleasant time,
and a cordial welcome will be given
them.
Every species of amusement will be
provided for the week and a llrst class
Brass Band will be in attendance.

This is written with the object of
making you a convert to the best
Tooth-brush in the World. Full In
structions are- sent with each
brush. Every night before retiring
adopt the habit Illustrated In this
scene. Let father mother, and chil
dren all join in giving the mouth
and teeth a healthy and refreshing
bath.
Yes, "Prophylactic" is a peculiar
word, and hard to remember, but it
is a Splendid Name for a Tooth
brush, because you use a tooth
brush to prevent your teeth from
decaying, and Prophplactic means
a "preventive of disease." With
every brush comes a neat little
hook secured to the brush, and
there is a hole in the end of the
handle which enables you to hang
it up. The head will not touch the
wall. Ask your dentist about the
??Prophylactic Tooth-brush," and
8ce if he will not recommend it.
