Mooting Discusses the Railway Situa
tion?Committees Appointed to
See the Railroad Men.
The Board of Trade met in the court
house yesterday to consider the rail
way situation. President Darlington
was in the Chair and a number of gen
tlemen were present not members of
tho Board.
The action of the .meeting was con
fined to the appointment of a commit
tee to confer with President Childs
and Supt. Anderson and ask for an ad
ditional train between Columbia and
Greonvillo. This committee consists of
Messrs. Darlington, P.A. Simpson, W.
L. Gray and S. M. Wilkes.
Another committee was appointed
consisting of Mr. Darlington, Mr. N.
B. Dial, W. L. Gray, R. A. Cooper and
W. W. Ball to confer with parties in
Richmond and ask them to co-operate
in building a line between this town
und Clinton, perhaps an electric line.
The situation was discussed generally
and it is believed that some good will
come from the meeting. There is a
fair prospect of having an additional
passenger train to Columbia.
Perfect Beantlos.

some of tho handsomest strawberries

She was married In 1846. chief among ller P?cnia aro

"No," this morninK. sir, I stay.
Colors seen by candlelight
Will not look tho same by day.
Whan the viols played their best,
Lamps above, and laughs below,
"Lovo me" sounded like a Jest,
Fit for "yes" or fit for "no."
Call me false or call me free.
Vow, whntever light may shine,
No man on your face shull sco
Any grief for change on mine.

Lead her from the festive boards,
Point her to the starry sl<lcs,
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Pur* from courtship's Uatterles.
By your truth she shall be true,
Evar true, as wives of yore;
And her "Yes," onco said to you,
Shall be "Yob" forevermore.
Yet the sin is on us both;
Time to dance Is not to woo;
Wooing light makes fickle troth.

Clothes Talk.
A question that is as near to you as the Clothes ques
tion certainly can't be talked about too much.
You ought to be interested in it for that very reason, so we will say a few
words about men's clothing. We are in Laurens tg sell clothing to the people of
Laurens and the country around. We intend to stay permanently here and if we
do so, we must sell the sort of clothing that will make you want to come back the
next time you want a suit. If we sold the other kind?the here-to-stay and there
to-morrow kind our main business would be receiving complaints from you. That
isn't business?what we want to do is to please you by selling the best suit we can
aflford to. Suits for every day when you are working, and suits for days when you
are dressed up?we have them both. That ought to satisfy you if you can be satis
fied. There are many makes of men's clothes, but the suits we have now please us
beat because we believe they will suit our patrons best.
You may pay $18.00 or $20.00 more for a suit and not get a
better one than you will right here at $15.00 to $16.50.
We have other clothing, too and want you to come in any time, look us over and talk with
us about men's and boys' suits.
SHOES AND OTHER THINGS.
We don't forget to keep Shoes for Men, Women and Children always on
hand. They are the serviceable, dependable kind that won't deceive you. Hen's
$2.00; Women's $1.50; Children's $1.00. A good supply of Men's Furnishings,
Hats, Shirts, Hosiery at right prices.

LAURENS. S. C.
Men We Want to Talk To:
We believe that if every man in Laiorens was a
clothing expert?if every man in Laurens knew
the positive facts in the case?that every man in
Laiorens would come straight to us for all his
Clothing. Each week we will publish a little ar
gument on this subject. This week's argument is
directed
To the Man who
Wants the Newest Styles.
AHAM* OF Jl^
As ?i matter of fact, there is
no other store in Laurens
that keeps in constant touch
with the style-changes like
we do. As soon as the
manufacturers have brought
out a new design, we are
notified?thus the latest
styles are constantly among
our showing.
If a man wants to be
sure of wearing up-to-the
minute styles in clothing,
there is only one store in
Laurens to seek?
Davis, Roper, & Co.
riothers Should
note the tact that we
arc headquarters for all the
newest things in childrens'
and boys' suits, our line is
complete and we can do
you good.
Don't forget our line

Ladies Department.
This week we want to call your at=
tention to some special things we have
in House Furnishings which you can
not afford to pass if in need of anything
in this line.
We have 200 White Bed Spreads
that we bought direct and avoided the
middle man's profit which means we
will offer for far less than what others
will be compelled to get for same grades,
prices 89 cents to $1.50. The largest
and best quilt ever offered in Laurens
at $1.00.
Extra good bleached Sheets ready
for use that do not cost any more than
the Sheeting by the yard. Saves you
the making. Prices $1.00 and $1.25 for
two Sheets.
Extra large cotton Towel for only
10 cents. Special values in Towels at
25 cents and 50 cents.
