A Great Thiug Projected for Laurens. A syndicate composed of such pro mioent business men as Messrs. W. L. and C. K Gray, J. W. Fowler and M. 3. Bailey of Clinton has boen formed with the view of erecting a handsome modern hotel on tiie site where tho buildings of Messrs Ballfy and Fowler recently collupscd. Architects havo been in the city drawing up plans for tbo hotel since Monday and the gentlemen Interested say that It Is almost a certainty that they will be accepted and the hotel Im? mediately built. The plans provide for a thoroughly modern hotel, to con tain forty-two bed rooms and to be furnace heated, lighted by electricity oto. It is a par: of the plan to havo the up town telegraph olllco, the olllco of the telephone company and tie post-oflic^ located in tho building. There will also bo one or two stores for rent. The building is to contiin three 6tories and will be built of briek. If it is built it will be a splendid thing for the to* n, and it is general y and urgently hoped that It will. Tho pro posed hotel is certainly tho most pop ular topic of iho hour. There seoms to be a gang of burglars operating in tho community and it would be well for citizens to put their gcods and chattels under extra bolts. Mrs. Elol8e Sboll's kitchen was enter ed last Thursday night but entrance into the dwelling was not effected and on Saturday night Mrs. Swit/.or's boarding-hcuso nnd Mr W. II. Gilker 6on's residence were entered. From Mr. Gilkerson's tbo thelvos made oil with eight dollars but at Mrs. Swltzer's mad-j a email haul of less than a dollar.
