That was an act of true heroism in Mr. Gregory, tit the depot last Friday morning, when ho crawled under the bij engine to extricate a man that he was no particular friend of. Employ ees of the road, thinking that the en tgifte would explode at any moment had precipitously tied, but Gregory, hear ing the cries of the helpless man and staking his own lite up against that of the unfortunate onglneor, went un derneath tho death trap and. with his bare hands ami without tools of any sort, dug him out though his nails and th< skin of his hands were almost worn away. Fortunately when the pressure of steam in the boiler became so high thai it could no longer he withstood, ail outlet was Mown open Oil the opposite side and the two men escaped. For such acts as these does Andrew Carnegie make hero medal awards ami Mr. Gl'Ogory should have one of them. ? ? ? When It comes to the moving pic ture show question, Laurens has un doubtedly got tllO rest of these nearby towns "skullt" a block. Soon after the first appearance of the big Ulms, the Laurens patrons are treated with the entire spectacle. Then when one of the Laurens citizens takes a little trip a few weeks later to some of the nearby towns, like Greenwood for in stance, he is struck with (laming ad vertisements of these very same Ulms that the Laurens folks have forgot ten about. la order to refresh his memory he takes In the show again and finds that not only are the Ulms late in reaching thore, but lo and be hold, only ono of the five pictures In the set are shown: Now this Is not meant for a knock for tllOBO other towns, but Is Intended to show that Laurens has a first das. amusement house and one that is far ahead of those in other towns its si/e. it's an enterprise which wo oughl 10 support. ? ? ? DYNAMITING FISH. From what we can gather from peo ple living 111 that section. It seems that the practice of dynamiting tlsh is being carried on in the Mt. Olive neighborhood, This Is contrary to law arid lays the one who does It as much liable to punishment as If he were guilty of shooting bis neighbor. The laws are very clear on this subject and they nre ? oanl to be obeyed, it Is rather hard to catch up with peo ple who violate these laws, but String ent efforts should be put forth to ap prehend the guilty parties. Our fish and game are becoming scarcer and scarcer every year, due almost entire ly to ruthless.and heartless hunters .ind fishermen who cannot be possibly placed in the class of sportsmen. Doubtless our rural policemen, who are doing such good work at this time for the preservation of order over the county, will look into this matter and see that the guilty parties are brought tq Justice. ? ? ? COL. TIIOS. II. CREWS. In tho death of Col. T. B. Crows, ! .aureus County has lost one of its most familiar and prominent citizens. Though his life's work was devoted principally to Journalism, Col. Crews found the time and accepted the hon or of representing his county In the general assembly of the State and la ter discharged faithfully and well the duties of postmaster, having been ap pointed to this position by Grover Cleveland. While he did not assume leadership he was nevertheless very Influential In this county politically | and was for many years high up in the councils of those chosen to manage the ship of State. Ho was loyal to his friends and no tm n perhaps was more appreciative of the esteem and deferenco shown him personally and otherwise by those whose friendship lie enjoyed. A gen. Hornau of the old Lcaool, a man of line bearing, a writer candid and fear less. Col. Crews was widely known throughout the State and he will he missed. Tili: DEFEAT OF NA l'OI.EON.

This time be will have a brilliant film de pleting the defeat of Napoleon around Moscow, when the great leader was forced to retreat on account of lack of provisions. "This moving picture film is con sidered by all authorities upon the subject as the most magnificent and spectacular military drama in the world, costing about $25,000.00. It depicts in wonderful photography Na poleon's campaign against Russia and his disasterous defeat at Moscow, in which the soldiers of the C/.ar hovered beyond reach of the French army, de stroying by flro dwellings and pro. visions until the great Napoleon was forced to retreat with his army deci mated at every step by privation and hunger and the wolf-like guerilla sor ties of the Russians.
