'The town was asked for $20,000, which was not a large amount last year, but is a mut ch larger subseription this fall. At the en1d of the first day we had $1.3,000 and by the end of the fourth day over the $20,000 was subscribed. The pOpole of Laurens have felt the financial slump just as others have and are depressed by the price of cotton. However, in f'ice of these facts no body tried to avoI(l youl or make you feel like beggars. When we wvent to 'we the mnenl they were rea(y to talk to us.
