* IMMEDIATE SETTLEMENT. * Rev. C. F. Rankiu huts received the following letter from Dr. D. J. Brlmm, of the Presbyterian College at Clin ton: Clinton, S. C. July 24, 1912. Dear Bro. Rankln: 1 have just gotten home and read the Advertiser, giving an account of the Chicora controversy, coniirents, etc. I think your people have not on ly the moral but the legal right to carry the matter to the Presbyteries. The board has made an egregious blunder about Chicora and I am afraid the Institution Is going to suffer se riously because of it. Just what the final outcome will be, if the matter is taken before the Presbyteries is, of course. Impossible to foresee but you ought not to lose this chance to estab lish another strong Presbyterian col lege. The people of Laurens have done splendidly. They deserve to have a good college and no matter what the outcome of the fight they can have one. 1 don't see much chance for rapid growth for Chicora now and two smaller colleges will he better than one big one anyway. Our Baptist odists have two strong ones besides one or two co-educational; the Meth odists have two strong ones besites some co-educational; the A. R. P.'s have two for girls. Unless Chicora is enlarged and improved it cannot accommodate half our girls and Clif ford is not strong enough to count. We ought to get hold of it and make it a strong preparatory school for girls, where physical culture would be stressed. The longer the contro versy over Chicora continues the more detrimental it will be to it, whether it stays at Greenville or is removed to Laurens and so I believe further agitation is. to be deprecated. We need a school for girls of a somewhat, different type front Chicora, In which the industrial and profession al features are emphasized more. That is the only way In which the overflow from Winthrop can be taken care of. Our church schools have got to get in more of the "practical" so-called, because the age demands It. The very principle on which *rc justify church schools requires it. And so I sug gest that you do not allow the thing to grow cold but move forward and establish at Laurens a college for women, In which with a first-class academic curriculum there will be thorough training in all branches of Pedagogy, and in all the Industrial lines that are so much stressed at Winthrop. I am persuaded that Clinton and the other towns In the county will add handsomely to what Laurens has so handsomely started. Don't let the enthusiasm evaporate. With $2r>,000 contributed from all the rest of Lau rens county, you would have a school as strong as Chicora will be after It gets $50,00? from the campaign now In progresH. We need, and badly need, a Female College df high grade In which the vocational features are emphasized, duly. We lost the Presbyterian Col lege for Women in Columbia which was established almost entirely with Presbyterian contributions. I have had a talk with Rev. Mr. Jones here and he seems to hold about the same views that 1 do. Though he was dis posed to buck against you in the re moval of Chicora to Laurens, he says we would all back up the new college at Laurens, or words to that effect. lCxcuse me for saying so much In such "sizzling" weather but the tiling is profoundly important, as I see It. There is danger of serious injury to education In our Synod and there Is also the possibility of a splendid for ward movement, if the situation be rightly handled. I believe that with your tact and wisdom and influence you can pull it through. Cordially yours, D. J. Brlmm. Little Sum Cooper. In loving remembrance of little Arle, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Belton Coop er: Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on his gentle breast, There by his love o'ershaded, Sweet his little soul shall rest. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor cry ing. Again we hope to meet thee when the day of life has fled and In heaven with joy to greet thee, where no farewell tears are shed. Mother. As To Probate of Wills. Under a recent act of the legislature every executor, deviser, legatee, trus tee, guardian, attorney or other per son, having in his pocesslon, custody or control any last will and testament, or codicil of any person hereafter dy ing, shall within thirty days after no tice or knowledge of the death of the testator, deliver such last will and c Hell to the Judge of the Probate Court having jurisdiction to admit the game to Probate. 0. G. Thompson, i -m . Probate Judge. Madden, Aug. 13.?As these lines are being penned, the Live Stock show at Madden is a very much alive affair. The vehicles have been coming since early dawn. The "wise ones" say there'll be 2,000 people here. The ad vance guard arrived last night and the demonstrators and lecturers had a splendid and attentive audience. Profs. Jackson and Burgess of Clem son and Editor Hunnlcutt, of "The Southern Cultivator" entertained the people in a pleasant and profitable manner. The first two Ulsutrated their lectures with lantern slides, which were quite instructive and much en joyed by the audience. The meeting at Now Prospect which was conducted for nearly two weeks by tue Rev. Juo. ?. Pitts, of Blackville closed last Thursday night. It wus an especially good meeting, marked by deep spirituality and we believe lasting good was accomplished. A touching feature of the closing night was the invitation extended by Mr. Jno. R. Pinley, one of the oldest members of the church, for Dr. Pitts to come back the Fourth Saturday in July, 1913, Cod willing, and preach again. This the church made unani mous. Then they all, irrespective of sex or uge, told Bro. Pitts an affec tionate "Good-bye." Prof. Jackson and Editor' Hunnl cutt were the pleasant guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wofford. Prof. Burgess und Mr. Byrd were hospitably entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. Dennis Culbertson. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Dean had quite a pleasant little gathering recently. Among those who enjoyed the hospital ity of Mr. and Mrs. Dean were Misses Mattie Bolt, of Anderson, Robbie Hud gens of Laurens, Azlle and Maude Wof ford of Madden. Miss Connie Turner, of Cross Hill, was the guest recently of the Misses Proffltt. Mr. and Mrs. Thad Moore visited the lattcr's parents near Rabun recently. Quite a crowd from here attended the old soldiers reunion at Quaker Satu rday. Not only by our own membership but also by those of other churches has the preaching of Dr. Pitts been en joyed. Among the latter we recall the faceB of Mr. Win. Brown and daughter, Miss Bessie, Mr. and Mrs. Pluss Brown and little boy, Mrs. America Madden and grand daughter Miss Adair of Holly Grove, Mr. Gus Holmes and Mr. 1 and Mrs. Ed. Mllam of Lisbon, Mes damcs McCravy and Bennett and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Boyd of First Laurens have been regular atendants and pos sibly more than they. Mr. and Mrs. Pitts Henry and little daughter, Dolly and Mrs John W. Henry of Greenwood were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Dean and en joyed the meeting with us. Prof. W. B. Culbertson of Hornets ville came up to see his brother, Prof. B. Y. Culbertson and while here en joyed the preaching of his life long friend, Dr. Pitts. He was also while here a pleasant caller at the house of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wofford. Mrs. Mentinus Hudgens and children of Edgefield have arrived for a visit to her sister, Mrs. John A. Hudgens and other relatives in the county. Mr. and Mrs. II. Terry and Messrs Armstrong and Babb attended services here Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. H. Terry the welcome guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Mrs. Mary Hudgens visited friends and relatives here recently. She wns also among the members who came nirposely to hoar; her old pastor preach once more. Her friends regret on the account of sickness she was forced to leave before she called on us all. Mrs. Bess Wright the charming young wife, of the Supt. of Enoree Cotton Mill paid a short visit to her grandmother, Mrs. Allison last week. She was occompanied home by her sister. Miss Martin of Clinton. Miss Ethel Bryson of the county hospital has been taking a day or so of much needed rest and while here Is with her grand-mother, Mrs Cun nlgham, Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Cunningham, of Mountvllle have been regular atend ants of the meeting. The friends of Miss May Madden will be glad to hear that she and little Mary Gertrude arc both doing nicely. A very serious accident was very uarrowly averted last week when Mr. and Mrs. Bee Culbertson were in a run-away scrape. On their way from church the mule which they were driving rnn over a child's small play wagon just in front of Mr. J. D. Cul bertson's store and ran away. For tunately neither Mr. or Mrs. Culbert .son >ior the little boys were thrown out though the buggy was wrecked before the mule was stopped. I Owing to the meeting and also to the sickness of one of the cast, the Dicey Langston Comedy Co. will not get their play before the public quite ns hooii as expected, But when we do, well you Just wait and see if "Valley Farm" is anywhere near "Brother Joslar!" Mr. W. A. Wofford a prominent farmer of Wodruff and a most en thusiastic supporter of Judge Jones and Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Wofford of Los Angeles, Cal. arrived Monday for a visit to their brother J. A. Wofford Mr. P. H. Wofford though now a Westerner, still takes a keen Interest In his native state and Is of the opin ion that South Carolina In justice to her self should repudiate Please. Mrs. Wofford a native of Spartn burg, cast her first vote In California and is of the opinion that if woman suffrage prevailed here there would have not prevailed the disgraceful scene in Spartanburg when Mayor Grace of Charleston was bombarded with rotten eggs. This Is certain: If women in South Carolina could vote this time. "Good bye Coley," Still, anyhow, It will be that way. So mote It be! Flying Men Full victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles just like other people, with like results in loss of appetite, back ache, nervousness, headache, and tired, listless, run-down feeling. Hut there's no need to feel like that as T. D. Pee bles, Henry, Tenn., proved. "Six bot tles of Electric Bitters," be writes, ''did more to give me new strength and good appetite than all other stomach remedies I used." So they help every body. Tt's folly to suffer when this great remedy will help you from the first dose. Try It. Only 50 cehts at Laurens Drug Co., and Palmetto Drug Co. Big Stalk but no Fruit. Mr. Tom M. Shaw brought an un usually high stalk of cotton into the city the other day. Although the stalk was very tall, being six feet nnd nine inches high, the longest limb on it was hardly six inches In length. It looked more like a young sapling than a stalk of cotton. It had just about thirty squares on It, some healthy and some which would hardly have matur ed. Although Mr. Shaw states that all of his cotton is of good growth, the fruit Is lacking. However, this was not a sample, being the only one of its kind. In order that, such growth be not encouraged, be pulled it up and took it out of the Held. Don't take calomel and don't buy imitations of Dodson's Liver Tone? you may run Into danger If you do. Buy Dodson's?the medicine that Laurens Drug Co. recommends and guarantees. ? * ?
