ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING FOR COEMERCIAL BODY Chamber of Commerce Organized and Campaign for Membership to Start -Soon. An enthusiastic meeting in the in terest of a chamber of commerce for Laurens was held in the Court House Monday evening. Dr. i. K. Aiken pre sided over the meeting and R. Rice Nickels acted as secretary. A motion to go into an organization of the Lau rens Chamber of Commerce was pass ed unanimously and the above gentle men were named as temporary officers. A committee, with Dr. Aiken as chair man, to draw up a constitution, was selected and this committee will re port back to the meeting Friday ev ening. At that time it is though that a definite organization will be per fected. The consensus of opinion at the meeting seemed to be that the organ ization should be amply financed so that a well paid secretary could be employed. The matter of dues coming up for discussion, various expressions on the subject were heard. The opin ion seemed to prevail that there should be a small membership fee from individuals and a voluntary or assessed graduated scale fo rbusi ness houses and manufasturers. All of this will be discussed at the meet ing Friday evening, though a large number of those present signified their faith in the organization by agreeing to join without deciding on the dues. Upon suggestion of Mr. W. L. Gray, Laurens was pledged to raise $1,500 for the survey of the proposed rail road through the Cross Anchor coun try. Mr. Gray attended a meeting of the ocrporators at Union yesterday, where he laid the claims of Laurens before them. A large number of citizens attend ed the meeting and much enthusiasm was evident. The meeting Friday is expected to be even more largely at lnded, as every live man in the city is expected to attend. Play at Eden.

Mlt VIItGINIA GIUTTON DIED IN ERIE, PENN. Telegram Ieceived Yesterday of her Sudden )eath.. Body will be Brought Here for Burial. A telegram was received yesterday by l irs. Vaughn Miller, from the em ployers of her mother, Mrs. Virginia Gritton, that Mrs. Gritton had been found dead in bed at her hotel in Erie, Penn., where she had been engaged for some time demonstrating women's apparel. The telegram was a very brief one, giving merely the fact of her sudden death, so fuller details age lacking, but the presumption is than she died of paralysis of the heart. The news of her death was a great shock to her relatives and many friends in Laurens, which was her home and which she always displayed much in terest in. Funeral arrangements have not been perfected, but in all proba bility she will be buried here either tomorrow or Friday. Mrs. Gritton is survived by her hus band, Dr. H. B. Gritton, a daughter, Mrs. Vaughn Miller, both of this city, and one son, Thomas Lee Gritton, of Boston, Mass. She was born in Texas, her maiden name being Virginia Lee McGee. She was reared in Horse Cave, Ky., and was graduated from Logan Female College. She was mar ried to Dr. Gritton at Horse Cave in 1884 and spent most of her life in Laurens. She was 52 years of age. Mrs. Gritton was a woman of un usual mental attributes and was an acom.ished conversantonnu'ist. She was a member of the Wednesday Club, of Laurens, and of the Pierian Club, of Lawrenceburg, Ky., both literary organizations. For many years she taught a class of girls in the Metho dist Sunday school here and made many attachments there that she re tained throughout her life.
