'Mrs. W. S. Holmtes was hostess to
the -Wednesday Club on January 16th,
when -Poe as a poet and short-story
writer, was studied. The roll call was
responded to with quotations from
Edgar Allan iPoe. Mrs. .1. Mc). Moore
read a paper: "Significant Life-Influ
ence Upon Ills Character and Act".
Mrs. P. A. Simpson wrote on: "Ills
Conception of Poetry and Its Qualities
and Mission". JIoth emphasized his
genius, his brilliant but erratic mind,
and his unfortunate circumstances as
an influence on his writing. Some
criticisms were made that were chal
lenged and caused an interesting dis
cussion.
Airs. Q lolmes read "The Tell Tale
Heart", prefacing this with some re
marks on Poe as a short-story writer.
New (in and Fuel Company.
A commission was granted Thursday
by the Secretary of State to the Lau
rens Gin and Fuel Company a new
corporation organized in Laurens to
ent.age in ginning and the sale of fuel
and other things at the site of the. pres
ent Hudygens Ginnery. The new cor
poration, headed by Rt. Coke Cray, .1.
W. Todd, .Ir., and W. 'l. Meng, intends
aver-hauling the present ginnery and
in. talling entirely new and modern
eqiuipment, besides doing a generai
fuel business. Thie proposed charter
of the ( oncern will have liberal claus
= w'hich will permit the expansion of
I he hsmineC"s into various direct ions.
The three corporators are among the
most wide-awake young business men
of the citv and no doubt the new con
cera will roon take its rank as one of
the leading cuterprises of the conm
tnunnty.

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ISSUES WARNING TO AUTOISTS
Less Thin ilalf of License Plates Ap.
plied For and Time is Limited.
'For the information of automobile
owners who desire to take out their
license for 1918 the highway depart
ment states that a supply of applica
tion blanks for 1918 have been for
warded to every dealer in the state,
and also a supply has been sent to the
clerk of court, of every county. Own
ers can obtain same by applying to
these dealers, or to the clerk of court,
and thus save considerable time, as in
most cases they can obtain the neces
sary information as to the horse pow
er of their automobile, the motor num
ber, the model, style and such Infor
mation required by the highway de
partment before the license can be is
stJed. A simple referene to th 1917
license number is not sufliont and
an application must be filled out and
sent In for each motor vehicle.
As the time is getting very short
and no authority is given any One
uman In the state, or to any group of
men, save the legislature, to extend
the time limit it would be wise for all
owners of motor vehicles to make ap
plication promptly so as to get tlheir
license plate at the earliest possible
moment. Up to Saturday night, Jan
uary 19th, less than half of the licenses
issued for 1917 have been taken out for
1918, and though the highway depart
meant Is working over time they will
not be able to Issue all licenses before
February 1st. iowever, this will be
no excuse for automobile owners and
under the law they cannot operate
their motor vehicles without the 1918
license plate on same, whether they
have made application for their license
or not.
