Members of the Traynliam Guards had a
Splendid Trip tu (lie
* Exposition.
The Traynliam Guards returned from
Jamestown Friday afternoon at 0:30.
They were in camp a little over a week
at the Exposition with the First Regi
ment, South Carolina National Guards,
and all speak in the highest terms of
the trip, the encampment and the offi
cers of the First, especially Col. W. W.
Lewis and Maj. E. M. BIytlic.
Camp was broken at the Exposition
Thursday and the journey homeward
was commenced shortly after noon.
The return trip was made without inci
dent or accident. All the members of
Company D. kept well and all returned
with the company except two or three
who decided to make some side trips.
Upon reaching Laurens they were
marched to the Armory and after plac
ing their equipments in proper place,
Capt. O. W. Babb made a very happy
little speech to the boys congratulating
them upon their excellent conduct and
fine showing made during the encamp
ment. He assured them that he was
proud of their record and trusted that
each and every man would continue
loyal to the Company. When he had
finished, three cheers for the handsome
Captain was proposed and given with
a will, followed by a similar demonstra
tion in honor of Lieutenants W. R.
Kichey, Jr., and Isadore Scbayer, and
the non-commissioned officers of the
Company.
During the encampment Company D.
was given five orderlies out of seven
guard mounts and two -out of three of
the provost guard assignments. The
live orderlies selected from the Com
pany* were R. H. Richey, Lloyd Lang
Bton, M. R. Wilkes, T. B. Babb and
W. H. Holder.
First Sergeant L. R. Roper and Quar
termaster Sergeant M. L. Nash were
two very important members of the
Company on this trip and all the boys
are loud in their praises of their work
and care of everything throughout.
Many souvenirs were brought home
and the encampment of 1907 at the
Jamestown Exposition will always be
remembered with great pleasure l>y the
Traynliam Guards.
Remember that we are Agents for
some of the largest mantel manufac
turers in the country and can save you
money on mantels, tiles and grates.

BANK BUILDING DOWN.
Telephone Exchange Removed to Fleming
Bros. Building.
The old Enterprise Bank building was
turned over to the contractor Monday
morning and preperations for tearing
down immediately began. Mr. Kichoy
bad not been able to got ready to re
move the Telephone Exchange but. the
contractors were here with their force
of workmen and all that could be done
on the outside preparatory to gettitig
ready for the new building had been
done on Monday; so, notwithstanbing
the inconvenience to Mr. Hichey the
contractor had to proceed to tear away
the old building Tuesday morning.
Mr. Hichey secured a large force of
hands and hi:; removal '.vent on at the
same time as rapidly as possible. The
Telephone Exchange was the last thing
removed and the "hello girls" kept
their places until the roof of the build
ing WRfTentirely removed. Then every
patron was called up and told "good
by."
It will probably be a number of days
before the connections can be made and
the telephone service ready for business
again. Their new quarters will be over
Fleming Bio's, store.
Relics of Strenuous Days.
When the roof was removed from the
old building which is to give place to
the new Enterprise Bank building the
workmen discovered in the attic an
old musket and an old Remington rifle.
The musket was of the kind used by
the Confederate soldiers and the rifle
was one of those used by the "milish"
in the seventies. These old guns were
probably stored in this attic in the
early seventies for emergency use.

recommended. Meals at cafes and
lunch-rooms from 80 cents up to what
ever one wants to spend on them. Ad
mission to grounds r>0 cents, after 6 p.
m. 25 cents. Best route to ground is
by two trolley lines. One leaves from
Monticello Hotel coner, fare 10 cents
each way, the other carries you by Ocean

and popular) for L5 cents each way.
Distance from heart of city to ground,
7 miles.
One of the prettiest views of the Ex
