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.
A company of amateur performers
of Gray Court will give a "Mock Mar
riage" at Elden school house Friday
night, May 12th, to which the public
is invited. The performance was giv
en at Gray Court some time ago and
scored quite a hit, the young people
ptting a great deal of life into their
work. A small admission fee will be
cha rged.

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.
For some years Mrs. Gritton had
been traveling for a large manufac
turing establishment and was meeting
with much success.
