The Laurens Cotton Mills team of hall tossers is a splendid aggregation of enthusiasts who, if systematic train ing and hard playing count, may be re lied ii|>on to make this soason the very warmest campaign the locals have seen in a long time. Tho personnel of the nioo presents a very handsome group of wolldovoloped, athletic follows. John Wiloox, tho pitcher, is also the captain of tho toam which moans, say tho knowing oil ^s, that tho team will be capably handlod at homo and abroad whether in dofeat or victory. "Wilcox is a depondablo man, a cool, collected captain and manager. Ho was with the team of tho Univorslty of North Carolina ono or two seasons and last season he pitched for Augusta, es tablishing a roputation that astonished the nativos. As pitcher Wilcox is boautifully sup ported by Walter Gosdoll, tho catcher, ?v^ho thoroughly understands ) s chief and tbo man doing tho fanning act can never tell how it all happoned. Gos nell is a local man with throo years ex perience. Everybody knows Sam Todd, that is, all base ball cranks horoabout. He pos sesses many strong points but as iirst baseman bo is this season oxcelling his past records. Jonlo Lau ford, who is playing left field is an amateur with two years suc cessful playing to his credit. Ho is considered ono of tho best all round men on tbo team,' being a heavy hit ter, a fino runner and a man of cool judgment. The third point on the diamond is held by Arthur Burriss, a second sea son man who has made a good impres sion in the beginning of this campaign. Ho is a fine sprinter as well as a hot proposition as a baso hitter and catch er, That important position, short stop, Is admirably guarded by a veteran, Jack Levorett, who will quit eating, drinking, or oven collecting to engage In either a match or practice game. He is ono of the best men of the team. 1<\ M. Tidwell, besides boing a good hitter aud runner is fast making an en viable roputation as an out-tiolder. This is his second season and his magnifi cent sprints and scoops in tho right field are frequently features ol tho gamo. In centor Hold may be seen a hand some young fellow, who can be de ponded on to stop anything hot from the bat, for it is is Jeff Ada.us, who has been identified with local base ball sev eral seasons and to whom much credit is due for past successes. He is a safe man in any capacity. Mack Monroe is a familiar figure at 2nd baso, a point of wide range and vast importance. Mack knows the game as well perhaps as anybody and ho promisos to be a star some day. He has sevoral seasons to his credit. ?s Returned from Reunion. Col. Crews and other Laurens vote who Went to Now Orleans have re turned. They report a grand time and a great crowd. AT PROSPECT SATURDAY. Great Crowd and a Uood Time Was Enjoyed. Children's Day at Now Prospect Church was observed Saturday. Capt. John Moore proslded.

The chief speech of tho day was mado by young Mr. Langton, a son of Mr. Tom Langston, and a student of Furman. It was a capital speech, well delivered, and has boon very highly praised by all who hoard it. A few remarks were mado by Rev. J. D. Pitts which were muoh enjoyed. The many childron who participated had boon woll drilled, and rondered ther parts oxcollo'htly. Tho music was first rate. TUKOUUH SOUTH CAROLINA. A. S.
