COMMITTEE HEBE.
[Inspected Various Possible
Sites for College.
Expressed Themsolves Greatly Pleased
With I,aureus?A Communication
from itov. W. B. Duncan.
The committee of trustees of the Co
lumbia Female College which is inves
tigating- the advisability of removing
that institution oame to Laurons last
Wednesday and examined various sites
in the city.' In the party were Rev. E.
O. Watson, chairman; Revs. W. L.
Wait, T. E. Morris, G. H. Bates and
Rev. Dr. W. W. Daniel, president of
the college They wore entertained by
friends hero and driven about tho city.
They inspected a number of places in
tho city available for the proposed in
stitution.
The committee went to Greenwood
Thljjtsduy. Before leaving hero the
members expressed great satisfaction
with thoir visit and spoke favorably of
tho city. The belief is among those
best informed that Laurens can {jet
the college provided she will make a
reasonable contribution.
The following has been received from
the pastor of the First Methodist
Church hero.
MB. Editor: Please allow me space
for a brief note in reference to the Col
lego matter. i am more encouraged
than ever in the effort. Laurens lias
the opportunity of her history. She
cannot afford to slight It.
Prof. 1). B. Johnson, President of
Winthrop, in writing to a friend in re
ference to the benolits accruing to a
community by the location of a College
in it, says: *' Winthrop College brings
to Rook Hill every year not less than
$100,000.00 of outside money. Promi
nent business men of tho place \?tve
said that they consider the C /fl?ge
?worth as much to tho town in a busi
ness way as its livo factories. Real es
tate has advanced very materially in
value since the establishment of the
College and many people have chosen
Rock Hill as a place for residence to
enjoy the educational advantages of
fered hor. The population of the placo
has doubled In the past ten years The
town voted $(10,000.00 for tho College
and consider it a lino investment in
every way. Any community that in
vests in larger educational facilities
makes the best imvostment possible.
Sincerely Yours,
D. B. Johnson."
1 give the above extract to show the
wisdom of the investment of a commu
nity in an educational institution from
simply the material standpoint. Not
only is such an institution desirable
from a moral and intellectual stand
point, but it pays in hard cash.
1 do not hesitate to say that, in case
Laurens secures the College, it will be
the best paying investment the p'ace
has ever made.
Will Laurens get the prize? She can
If she will.
Very sincerely,
'Watson B. Duncan.
MB. CUNNINGHAM HONORED.

the rest of the session.
As we are on tho threshold of a new

portant statistics for last session:

Simmons, C. II. Itoper, J. J. Pluss and
J. 0. Owlng8. These are some of our
leading bus'ness men and to whom tho
community is indebted lariroly for the
present condition of the^ schools.?
Through their interest grdatly needed
improvements have been mado on the
school building and tc-day it Is more
comfortable for both pupils and teach
ers than it has been for a long time.
Mr. Clarence E. Gray, our public
spirited mayor, has about comploted a
wide walk in front of the school build
ing, which will add greatly to the gen
oral appearance. Hereafter red mud
will not bo tracked all over the build
ing by the children in rainy weather.
Mr. Gray has our most sincoro thanks
for the interest he has manifested in
our welfare.
?Mr. Arthur Hudgene, of the firm of
R. H. Hudgens & Sons, has promised
to place on the grounds a joggling
board and a lawn swing for the enjoy
mont of the children at recess. A
school can attempt greater things when
not only the patrons but the public
minded citizens will manifest such an
interest in the work. In this connec
tion allow us to suggest that some
wide-awake citizen make himself a
monument on our grounds by sowing
tho front yard down in grass. If this
were done, the School Board would
not be long- in seeing tho groat need
that cxists for enclosing the grounds
with a suitable fence.
We hear a great deal of talk about
gotjjrng a College in our town. That is
right. We need it. Wo want it. But
the parents in our town should be thor*
oughly in oarnest, tlr*t, about tho edu
cation of their children in the oommon
school branches, Tho graded sohool
here should bo not only tho best of its
kind in the county, but one of the host
in the State. To this ond we invite
your co-operation. Tho toachors need
your support and encouragement.
On Monday night, September 1st,
SuperintondentW.il. Hand, of Ches
ter, will dollver an address to the pa
trons and frionds of our school. The
exercises will bo held in thp ohapol of
the graded echool building and will
begin at 8.30. We urge the attendance
of ovory citizen and tax-payer in town.
An invitation is also extended to the
trustees, toachors and patrons of coun
try flphoolq, Wo trust that a large
number fron, thp neighboring ephools
will tako advantage of the opportunity
and come. Admission is free.

BALL SEASON OVER.
Laurens Defeated Grcen
. wood in Last Game.
Fine Record of the Homo Team?Some
or the Players -Uanio Has Oiveu
Much Enjoyment to the People.
The Laurons base ball team closed
its season by defeating Greenwood in
the third and last game of tho series
by a score of 14 to 2 Wednesday. Trib
ble, tho Greenwood twirler, was batted
liberally and Laurens won in a canter.
Manager Sam Todd and his players
have gone a great deal to make tho sum
mer pleasant. Tho team has done
oplendid work. Nearly everybody re
grets that tho season is over, limes
are dull in summer and base ball lias
done a lot to enlivoa them. Some of
tho merchants have derived profit too,
especially the soda fountain owners.
Last week after the games tho public
square each ovenlng was an animated
picture with scores of young people re
turning from tho diamond held.
During tho season Laurons played
23 game.", won 14; lost 8 and tied 1.
Piedmont was the only team in the
state that defeated Laurens and the
Tarboro, N. C., team was tho only
other that was too much for Laurens.
On the other hand. Laurens defeated
Newberry, Columbia, Greonwood, Fair
Forest and Waterloo.
Among tho men at different times
composing tho toam were: Williams,
of Clinton, Harrison, Fierce Calno,
Ford Franks, Swygert, Sam Todd, Dod
son, Ossie Anderson, Ernest Hender
son, Hilly Irby, Pope Irby, Hen Mar
tin, Sayler, Jeff Adams, Will Richoy,
Mock Monroe and perhaps others. All
of thoso boys have played good ball
and they have added a great deal to the
pleasure of the people. Moreover,
thoy have played a clean gatno and
thero has boon no bad bohavior at tho
games. It is hoped that they will re
organize tho toam early noxt summer
and Tino ADVERTISER is sure that they
will have better encouragement from
the town than thoy had this year?the
people won't wish to bo without base
ball in 1903.
