Terrible Battle I-u*t Friday.
Another chapter In the history of
the American National game was
scribbled last Friday, when amid
hurrahs, hallos, yells, harks and
growls an Immense assemblage of the
elite of Laurens witnessed the down
fall of "The-Cottou-Bankers" conglom
eration of horsehlde artists at the
hands, feet and mouths of the Anti
Bankers.
When Ford Franks, who umpired
for both sides awhile, but mostly for
his own side, blew the whistle for
i
supper, there were eleven notches on
the stick for the "Anti-Hankers" and
three notches for "The Hankers And
Cotton Men." Doth sides at times
pasted the pesky pellet powerfully and
several pushed the pill clean over the
infield. Pink Sullivan starred with
the willow, having thr?e strikeouts and
a pop fly to the pitcher to his credit.
Others, too numerous to mention, did
equally well.
As usual in such a game, many
stars were shining, though it has been '
learned from a reliable source that
Ty Cobb is not worried much about
his job. Eye witnesses to the fray
state positively that several balls
were caught while in the air and one
person, highly stirred u;> over the
sharpness of the battle, went so far
as to say that Mr. La ce of the losers
stopped at least ont rounder. Other
army from the rear aks and did :*.
were recorded but the scorer fa::.t<. -
from overwork and later skipped with
all the records.
Capt. Charlie Hicks, who command,
ed the Anti-Bankers, generaled his
army from the rear ranks i it
In a way that would make Connie
Mack feel like an Egyptian r..u ::.::-.;??
Hut Captain Lake. co:r.r:-..\r. ::r.g
Money Hags, was on the fifing
from the crack of the first popgun till
the victors chased his squad ir.to the
creek.
An agreeable feature of the perfc rrn
?tnce was the tax money accumulated,
there being something like $37.50
handed over to the hospital as a re
sult of this mixup.

The great June Chautauqua is go

There are three mote attractions and

Saturday night. Prof. Pamahasika
gave a most delightful entertainment
with his trained animals of every va
riety. And on Monday evening the
Orpheans, a male quartette. pleased
a large and appreciative audience.
The Price Concert Company was on
deck last night and judging from the
continued applause this was the best
so far.

Boosters arrived in :h* city wsti
crs flying z.r.i bands playing yester
day aftefn about t**c thirty o'clock
and marched at once to the center o!
gravity, the court house ;'.aza. After
a short serenade wa.^ g!v*r. by the
excellent band and a few pleasantries
showered upon the Laurens folks, the!
trade getters and city builders found
their way into the beautifully decor-1
ated dining room of the King Hotel,
where "Mine Host'' McGee served ai
well balanced dinner as. ^er menu'
which follows:
Mock Turtle Soup Consomme Royal
Queen Olives Iced Tomatoes
Mixed Pickle
String Roans With Irish Potatoes
Asparagus Points Au Vlnegrette
English Peas
Rolled Ham
Smothered Chicken With Dressing
Chicken Salad Cold Slaw
Prince Albert Pancakes With Jelly
Carolina Rice Glbcon Gravy
Creamed White Potatoes
Lemon Cake Caramel Cake
Tuttl Frulttl Pineapple Ice Cream
Edam Cheese
Peaches Oranges Raisins
Coffee Ice Tea Buttermilk
Having done justice to this fine
spnad in true Spartanburg style, the
omnnny adjourned to the street and
got dow nto brass tacks talking Spar
tanburg and Spartanburg wares. The
band, also having been given a new
lease of life via the same route as
the other gas artists, viz., ??Brother"
McGee, they proceeded again to fill
the air with delightful music.
The Spartans put in a brief half
hour visiting the Laurens merchants,
getting aeqalnted and talking Spar
tanburg. They were a very cordial
set of men. and handsome, and left a
very pleasant Impression upon those
visited; so it Is said (The Advertiser
was not honored*.
WELSH HOME LIFE UNIFORM
There It No Upper Middle Class and
and 8hop Keeper? Are Usually
the Leader*.
The student of Welsh life and char
acter who encountera almost any Til
lage In North Wales will be able to
acquire a full knowledge of hi? sub
ject without traveling a mile further.
For Welsh life baa a certain quality
of uniformity which Is not found In
the other constituent peoples of tho
empire.
Practically there la no upper middle
class In Wales. A few rich mlddle
clo.nn Welsh families there are, but
tbeae. ev?n If they keep up a Welsh
home, usually draw their wealth and
spend It beyond tbe Welsh border. If,
however, the visitor wlshea to know
who controls public opinion, who alta
on tLe district and county councils, or
even who represents the division In
the house of commons, he had much
better regard the names painted over
the shop fronts than try to discover
the identity of tho occupants of the
lavlah red brick villa which looks
down Into the village from Its place
on tbe hillside. The owner of the
vtlla, as likely aa not, will be found
to be an Englishman- a retired
Manchester contton spinner or a shlp
I owner from IJverpool.
