VOLUME XXIII. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1907. NUMBER 9 REV. DR. ADAMS TO BE PRESIDENT Goes to the llead of the College at Clinton. ASSUMES DUTY NOV. I. Pastor of Pirst Presbyterian Church for Twelve Years. Pastoral Relations to be Dissolved by Presbytery. Itev. Robert Adams, D. D., pastor of tho First Presbyterian church, this city, since November 1, 1895, was elected president of the Presbyterian College of South Carolina, located at Clinton, at a meeting of tho board of trustees, held last Thursday for the purpose of selecting a successor to the late Dr. Wm. G. Neville. The Laurens correspondent of the News and Courier, wHtfng of Dr. Adams' election last Friday, said: "The news of the election of Dr. Robert Adams, pastor of tho First Presbyterian Church, to tho presidency of the Presbyterian College at Clinton, last night, came somewhat as a sur prise to his friends here. It was gener ally known that Dr. Adams was re garded by many of the trustees as the most suitable man for the place, and even before the olection of Dr. Sweeta he was urged to allow his name to come before the trustees. He declined, however, to allow his name to be used in connection With tho office, taking tho position that it was entirely out of bis line of work, and insisting that a more suitable person for tho position could be had. "During the past few weeks Dr. Ad ams has had a number of letters from members of the board of trustees urg ing him to allow his name to come be fore the board. One of these letters in particular had placed the matter before him in such a way that he felt that he had no right to refuse the of fice should he be unanimously elected, which be was. "Dr. Adams was born at Eatonton, Ga. He was educated at the Univer sity of Georgia, located at Athens, and received hhi theological training at Co lumbia and at Princeton, N. J. "Before coming to Laurens he serv ed as pastor of Tatnall Square Presby terian Church, Macon, Ga., and the First Presbyterian Church, Americus, Ga. On the 1st. day of November of this year he will have completed his twelfth year as pastor ?ilbe First' Presbyterian Church of this city, at which time Dr. Adams expects to as sume his new duties." SESSION OP FIRST CHURCH. f Sunday morning before entering upon his sermon at the first ""resbyterian Church, Dr. Adams made some remarks regarding his election as president of the Presbyterian College, stating that in view of the unanimity of the board and friends of the College in conferring the honor upon himself, he felt that he should accept tho post. At his suggestion a ses3ion of the church will be held on Sunday, Oct. 13 for the purpose of preparing a petition which will be presented to Enoree Presbytery which meeta at Mountville, Tuesday, Oct. 15, asking that the pas toral relations now existing between Dr. Adams and the First church be dissolved. Of course it cannot be stated at this time who will be invited to succeed Dr. Adams as pastor. A Certain Cure for Croup?'Used for Ten Years Without a failure. Mr. W. C. Bott, a Star City, Ind., hardware merchant, is enthusiastic in his praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. His children have all been subject to croup and he has used this remedy for the paat ten years, and though they much feared the croup, bis wife and he always felt safe upon retiring when a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was in the bouse. . His oldest child was subject to severe at tacks of croup, but thia remedy never failed to effect a speedy cure. He has recommended it to friends and neigh bors and all who have used it say that it is uncounted for croup and whooping cough. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. Daughters of the Confederacy. J. B.

How to Cure a Cold. The question of how to cure n cold without unnecessary loss of time is one in which we are all more or less interest ed, for the quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less danger of pneumonia and other, diseases. Mr. B. W. L. Hall of VVaverly, Va., has used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for years and says: "I firmly believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be absolutely the best prep aration on the market for colds. I have recommended it to my friends and they all agree with me." For sale-by Lau rens Drug Co. Judge Reduces Verdict.

The plaintiff was allowed ten day* in which to comply. Leopard is a young cotton mill opera tive and lost a portion* of his hand while working among some of thn machines of the mill.

It is desired of some of the citizens of Laurens to see a Confederate monu mont erected on the public square which will be not only a monument to the Confederate dead but a source of pride to every man, woman or child who calls this city "home." Such a monument will cost from two thousand to twenty five hundred ollars. If it is to be built it will require the united endea vor of all the citizens but surely it is well worth the while of everyone to work for it and give generously to such a cause. An effort is being made to build three Comfederate munuments in this county, one at Cross Hill, one at Clinton, one at Laurens. The Cross Hill people hope to unveil their monu ment next May, the Clinton people raised three hundred dollars in one evening last week, how much will Laurens give?. IS 07 AND NEVElt RODE ON A TKAIN.

There was a crispness in the air last Thursday which gave an added zest to the pleasure of Fall shopping but really no incentive was needed. The lovely Fall things were incentive enough for any mortal woman. At the Hub, Sim mons and Davis and Roper's the millin ery openings of course drew big crowds, for it is admitted that there is nothing under the sun of quit such vital impor tance as a woman's hat. This season brown seems to be leading color and of lovely creations in brown there is simply no end. Of course, however, she who is wise will invest in the color most be coming to her own eyes and hair and there are many handsome hats in black, green, blue, etc. The shapes worn in the Spring are still in vogue only if pos sible more pronounced, and if they are a little trying they are the correct thing and must bo worn. The most beautiful suits, skirts, wraps, furs, silks and noy* elties of every description are shown not only at the above namod houses but also at Minter's, Wilson's, and the Red Iron Racket. She who shops first will necessarily fare best so the ladies are advised to come to town at once and view the pretty things. 11EV. Win. E. THAYER CALLED TO LAURENS.

Slate Secre tary Visils Laurcns. Mr. James Henry Rice, state secre tary of the Audubon society is spending a few days in the city in the interest of the Society. Mr. Rice is traveling over the State endeavoring to induce leading citizens in every section to be come members of this society, which is one of the most important organiza tions in the State, having for its object the preservation of the birds, which in their turn are the destroyers of so many pernicious iiiBecta. Game war dens have-been appointed in many counties of the State and as soon as the society gains a foot hold here a warden will be appointed for this county. Mr. Rice told The Advertiser reporter that be had on file letters from dozens of Laurens farmers who are anxious for something to be done for the preserva tion of the birds and fish in this county. This is Mr. Rice's first visit to Laur ens but he proposes to be here frequent ly in future and the work of enforcing game laws will be seriously taken up. Mr. Rice incidentally mentioned that the law in regard to snooting bull bats had been grossly violated and right at the present moment when the boll weevil scare has been so great, the destruction of bull bats appears the worst of crimes, as bull bnta and boll weevils cannot inhabit the same coun try. It would seem then that the Au dubon society should be supported warmly especially by the farmers.
