Cross Hill, Aug. 2.?Capt. Jack Her

week en route to Harris Springs. Mrs.
Herrin visited her relatives. Messrs.
W. T. and R. A. Austin, for a few
days.
Mrs. Mary Bradley left for her homo
at Jackson, Georgia, last Friday.
Preacher Leek, a colored minister,
lost his bam by fire last Monday
night. A g< od horse, a wagon and
buggy were also burned. It is thought
the fire was of Incendiary origin.
The rains continue; farmers can
plow only one or two days each week.
Cotton on sandy land is little and In
many fields very grassy. The out
look is discouraging. On clay lands
crops are good.

Was Called Off.
On account of the terrific rainfall

So heavy were the rains that not even
the people of the city would venture

swollen ami it would have l ceil folly
to take a trip oll such S day. Hence.

Now who would have thought that
in so small a ttity as Laurens, labor
unions would create a disturbance?
Hut it is so. Last week members of
the bricklayers' union, so thought, but
it is possible that it Is only one of the
hundreds of negro secret societies,
wanted to dictate terms to Dr. W. II.
Dial, who Is erecting a brick building
on West Main street. Hut it happen
ed that they tackled the wrong man.
and the doctor put the "union" fellows
7::" off the building forthwith.
Tie rjr. Dial engaged a number of local
550 masons; then, last week, for the front
I II brick work, secured the services of
? |< the bricklayers that worked here on
?he Enterprise bank building last year.
When these non-union men came, the
resident workmen demanded that they
be given t<n cents an hour Out of the
wages of these foreigners. Dr. Dial
would not hear to this proposed graft
and : l once discharged Ihe union men.
