C., .Il'i. 119 1122 A R1NAI4 TRJUNK lINE Much interest has been taken lately in the federal transportation act IIndeIr which it is proposed to group the smlaller aInd 'akrrailroads with larger systems for ptirposes of econ om~y inl operation. Pl'aticuilar Inter. esit ias beeln1 ariou sed in the l'ilmont . eCtion of South l'arollna- on account of the ritmor that the Carolina, Clinch livid & Ohio railroal, an important coal carrying line of the Southeast, may be g;rotiped with itle Souithern rail way, its chief coal disti buting comn Ietitolr in this sectioln. Iecau-sIe of tile (lest lucl t ion of comi petition in coal carrying which the arouping of these two roads is calcu lated to bring aboutt, g!rave apprehen sions have been voiced in '' is section against this particular !)l of group ing. Tlhe question is whether the Clinch field shall go to the Southern, the A. C. 1., or the S. A. L. As for the S. A. L., it may itself be grotuped with the Illinois Central on account of the fact than the same financial interests ir( undersood to be back of hoth roads. The people of this section, particu larly' ILaurens, are interested in the Clinchileld because of its physical Col nlectiol with the C. & W. C., otur pril cipal railroad line. As the C, & W. C. is commonly accepted to be a sub sidiary of the A. C. 1,. it occurs to us that it -would he a happy event if the Cli nchfield should 'be grouped with the Coast Line, giving to Laurens what it has long needed, a real trunk line to the .\iddle West. Miore than any other obstacle to the grrowth of Laurens has been its loca tion off a mainline thoroughfare. Weic the Coast Line to take over the Clinch. 'hield, in a little while passenger trains would he Itin through from Chicago to F"lorida and thev wou ld run through 'Laurens. Of conurse some doUlit may be raised as to whether or not the Coast Line desires the Clinchlield, but it seems that the acquisition of the Clinchfield would be ol' immeasurI'able .belefilt to it as well as the territory which it and its tributary lines serve. It <would he a great dlay for this city when the C. & W. C., !iractically our sole hope insofar as railway facilities are concerned, Is lade a link In a real tr-unk line from the lddle West :o the Atlantic seaboard and Florida. * * * flONiD) Nl'ECTIO.YiS TI! ES DAY In the excitement ever the close of the enrolling books for the D~emocratic primary next Tuesday, we fear' that a good many electors of the City of Lan r'ens have neglected to consider thec merits of the bond Issue elections to he held next Tuesday. Ther'e are three Issues to be voted on, one foir retirement of floating In debtedness, one for improvement of the 'water system and another for fin provement of streets. The -bond issue for the retirement of -bonds does not mean1 any increase in the Indebtedness of the cIty. Its ob ject Is to relieve the city of the burden of curcrent indebtedness wvhich cramps its daily operations and to redtuce the rate of Interest. being paid. C~ommoni 'business judphient dlemands a favor able vote on tis .isstue. The water su'pply of the city Is ad mittedly Intolerable. The newly elect ed putblic wvorks commission has given no indication of Its plans for the im prtovement of the 'system out of the :proposed bond Issue, but the commis sion during Its -short tenture of ofilce has demonstrated its ability to ap 'proachi such matters in a thorough and efficient manner, so It may 'be assttmed that the money plaed~ at its disposal will -be swell spent. TIhe health and happiness of the city demand that this improvement be made. The bond issue to" '"e*et lnmnrove ment is the only on<. .2 ,:.'-::1, that the tax-payer may have reason to sttudy over. It appears t 'rThe .^'! vertiser that in this 1.

COUNTHY CLUB ELECTS NEW OFFICERS Annual Election of Offileers of Bois. Terre Club Took Place Thursday Evening. Dr. \V. D. Ferguson of this city, was elected president of the Bols-Terre country club when the annual election of officers took place at the club house Tihursday evening. Dr. Ferguson suc ceeds Geo. 11. Elliis, of Clinton, whose tenure of ollice was automatically end ed through constitutional restriction. ])r. A. 'E. S-encer, of Clinton, was3 elected vice president and the follow Ing were elected directors: from Clin ton-'. .\. Balley, )r. James It. Cope land, Dr. NI. J. McFadden and Geo. H. Ellis: from Lairens-l-. 1). Eastei'by, Geo. .\I. Wright, It. 1). Gray and .1. W. iTodd.l Jr. At a subsequent ieeting of director3 W. It. AlcCuen was elected secretary and treasurer' and It. 1). lenry, of Clinton, assistant secretary and treas urer. The following committees were appointed: xecutive Committee-Geo. \. E. 1). l'asterby, Dr. A. I-. Spencer, Geo. ?I. Ellis; Membership ComiIttee-. D. IEasterby, .J. W. Todd, .Ir., r)I. Al. J. McFadden, C. MI. Bailey and Dr. J. NI. Copeland. It was practically decided to do aiway with the grounds committee and leave its work to the executive committee and oflicers of the club. The meeting prior to the election of officers was largely of a routine ni ture. Retiring President Ellis read his report for the year, showing that the club had enjoyed a 'line year with a number of improvements. The presi dent and associates in office 'were giv en a vote of thanks for their labors during the year. 'pon an unanimous vote of the club the by-laws were changed to allow active pastors of the coulity till the privileges of the club without the pay ment of the initiation fee but upon the payment of the quarterly dues. The 'by-laws *were also amended to allow residents of the county who are house guests of members all the privileges of the club ge:erally extended guests from without the county. A momtion by J. ". Jacobs, of Clin ton, to increase the lipit of member ship from 200 to 2)50 was lost. Ilow ever, the motion of Mr. Jacobs and a subhsequent one he made to allow members who foulnd themselves uln able to keep Ip thir diles to sell their rights in the (1111) opened up such a wide field of discussion that It was' foun11d advisable to postponie action On the entire matter until the next al nial meeting. With a vlew of secu ing a more eqiuita'ble rule oil this phase of club membershil), the )resi dent, on a substitutte motion of .\Mr. A. C. Todd, was authorized to appoint a committee to go into the subject and make a recommendation at the next meeting. DUSTING DEMIONSTRlATIONS Ieelings to lie Held at Witerloo and in Youings Township.

Maybe it is a lack of system. You simply "take in and pay out." The first step in system is to see that out of each week's pay, there is a certain amount brought to our bank and put in a checking ac count. Then, you will plan and prepare to look out for this. Following this, th%re is bound to come a day of looking ahead to the:other items and the first thing you know, you will see "where it all goes to." Your cancelled checks are used as a basis of creating a household budget for the next month. That's how fortunes start. Laurens National Bank J. J. ADAMS, Pres. GEO. H.
