THE ESSAY CONTEST WILL CLOSE SATURDAY
All School Children Who Intend Participating in the
Cemetery Essay Contest Should Have Their Essays
in The Advertiser Office Before Saturday (Night.
Only a few more days remain be
fore the close of the contest for the
prizes otfered by Tho Advertiser to
the school children of Laurens for
the best essays on the improvements
ie<et:tly made at the Cltv Cemetery.
Several essays are already in the of
fice of the Contest Editor, but we
would like to see many mote. Do not
let tho last few days oass without
making an effort to win one of tho
cash prizes.
In order to bring to the attention of
the public the transformation which
has been brought about in the Lau
rens Cemetery during the past few
months and particularly to interest
the rising gentration In this most com
mendable work. The Advertiser offers
the following prizes to pupils of the
city graded schools:
To the successful contestant, boy
or girl, between the ages of 12 and
15 years. $5; between 10 and 12 veins.
; under 10 years,
The contest will consist of Idling in
the blank spaces in the article printed
below; and each contestant must have
his or her essay in the hands of the
"Contest Editor. Laurens Advertiser,"
Laurens. S. C, by noon of July
15th. The printed portion will
be copied in the handwriting of the
contestant and the part filled in will
be similarly written. Essays will be
written on but one side of each sheet
of paper and will be signed, not with
the names of the contestants but, with
noms de plume or secret signs; and,
accompanying each such essay, will
be a separate sealed envelope In which
will be a statement of the said nom
de plume or sign together with the
contestant's real name, age and street
address. The letter conveying this
information will also contain a cer
tificate to the effect that, with the ex
ception of discussion and general ad
vice, the contestant received no as
sistance from any one?that is to say,
that the language as well as the
thoughts expressed are in fact tht con
testant's own rather than those of any
older person.
In considering the relative merit of
fhe essays offered In the several age
classes, due weight will be given to
handwriting, style, neatness, etc.; but
the greatest stress of all will be laid
on the accuracy of statement of the
several contestants, the originality
and apparent spontaneity displayed
and most especially the real worth
of the subject matter Itself.
'No business conditions whatever are
attached to this offer; and it can be
confidently expected that, even should
there be but one contestant in each
age class, the prizes will be
promptly awarded exactly as stated.
It Is believed, however, that the con
testants will be very numerous; and.
in the event that there should be a
tie in any case, preference will be
given to the contestant whose essay
was first received?a record being
maintained for that purpose.
Here is the essay, the blank spaces

Arden, N, c. July loth, 1911.
Editor Laurens Advertiser:
Will, you please allow me sp:>ce in
your valuable paper for a few words
as 1 am a native of Laurens County,
p desire to tell my friends in Laurens
County how we spent the Fourth of
July here. As we read the different
papers and see how It was spent all
over the country, and how many
tights, killings, and drunks there were
we think ours was well spent.
This is the way we spent our Glo
rious Fourth: We have a good Bap
tist Sunday School at Skyland. one
and one-half miles from Arden, of
which I am a member and attend reg
ularly. Me invited The Salvation
Army of Ashevllle, out to spend the
day with us, and I must say it was
the best Fourth of my life. We all
carried dinner and spent the day. My
wife fixed me up a nice basket. We
met at nine-thirty and had in attend
ance more than five hundred people.
If there was a single drop of liquor on J
the grounds, we failed to see the ef
fects of It, and we spent the day most
pleasantly mingling with these good
people listening to the preechlng and
testifying, and helping them sing.
When the dinner hour arrived we all
went out and spread our ;<ood dinner
under the beautiful oaks, aud It was
my pleasure to be one of the number
to see that every child (especially)
had something to eat. for we bad fam
ilies with us that had no dinner to
bring, and it made our hearts glad to
feed these little mountain children,
who had come out to celebrate The
Glorious Fourth with ui.
When dinner wa? served. It being so

of which are to he filled in:
The improvement of conditions at
the Laurens Cemetery within the past
.months has been
Where formerly there was practi
cally no enclosure, now.
There are two gates, one near the
.corner which
is used only on occasion und the other
at the.corner
which is opened at.o'clock,

in.
The custodian also keeps the walks
and roads in order, and for a charge
(by the Executive Committee) of ..
.dollars each per annum
he keeps clean and neat the Individual
lots of all who wish it done.
As a result of the efforts of the
Committee and by reason of the awak
ening of general interest in the mat
ter, many lot-owners have recently
gone to considerable trouble and ex
pense to.
Where weeds and wire grass lately
grew, flowers are now the rule rather
than the exception: and, all about the
place which seemed so desolate and
forgotten, there is now the undeniable
evidence of.
The benefit to the community of
such a transformation and the civic
necessity to continue this movement
and never let it stop ought to be
obvious because .
While It Is realized that some of
the words In the above printed form
may possibly prove slightly abstruse
to the "little shavers," it Is not neces
sary that they do more than till in?
in their own language? the blank
spaces after the meaning of the print
ed words has been, if necessary, care
fully explained to them.
hot In church, and not room for the
people, we moved the organ, and some
seats out In the beautiful grove and
had another gcod mectin.
To my regret I had to leave this
meeting, at 2.30 P, M. in order to walk
to Arden, by 3 o'clock, there being no
trains running In that direction at
that time, und working as operator,
had to be on time.
t'p to this day, we had had a se
ver" drought, and about '5 :?0 we had a
tine rain, doing so much good to the
crops, and gardens. So we think as
a whole, the Fourth was well spent
by us, and trust that we may be spared
to see many more like It,
