The people of Laurens have entered
upon a campaign to raise $75,000 to
secure Chicora college, now located in
Greenville. A college in Laurens
would do more :han any other one
thing, probably, for the upbuilding of
the town. The people of Lauren* seem

When making unqualified statements
it is always well to stick close to the
record. The Piedmont of Friday sayg:
"And only recently Greenville has
given Chicora fifteen thousand."
The facts are Greenville was asked
to give Chicora six and a quarter thou
sand and gave it thirty-seven hundred
and fifty. Clinton was asked to give
Chicora twenty-five hundred and she
sent them thirty-seven hundred and
fifty. Laurens asked to give Chi
cora a thousand and did so promptly.
Greenville was to have returned to her
every dollar she contributed plus an
equal amount contributed by others.
With the two other towns named what
they gave was a free gift without ex-1
pectation of immediate or remote j
pecuniary return. Just to keep the
record straight'.

Suppose Laurens offered $ ? 0
for removal of The Dally Piedmont

accept the offer. Probably twenty

000 would be wiped out meeting the
deficit that would inevitably occnr be
cause of the inability of laurens to
give The Piedmont anything like the
business It now gets out of Green

v-hile they lasted, but tbej* would not
last very long. If the Prsbyterians

PRESBYTER!A5 AMBITIONS,
At a recent meeting of the elders
and deacons of the Second Presbyter
Ian church. Greenville, resolutions
were psssed protesting sgalnst the re
moval of Chicora coiiege to Laurens
After resolving at. length upon the
sentimental claims which Greenville
bus on the college, the resolution clos
ed as follows: "The present site is nm
pie for sufficient expansion for rears
and small institutions have their es
pecial attraction and value." We know
oi no other lody of men wto could
belter express tLe s-entimeits. -wishes
and ambitions of the whole tody of
Greenville citizens towards Chicora
than could this body of church work
er*. They know the college, they
koow the groan?.?. they know whit
is to be hoped if the college contin
ues at its present location and they
know what to expect. They are in
touch with the whole situation.
Now listen to them. "The present
site is ample for safltcieat expansion."
Allow us to state on the part of the
citizens of Liurens that there will be
absolutely no limit to our ambition for
Chicora. There will be no such thing
si sufficient expansion. Our ambitions
are not limited. And then, "and small
institutions have their especial attrac
tion and value." Attraction and value,
for who? Surely not for the Pres
byterians of South Carolina for they
want an institution where every stu
dent who applies at its doors for al
Christian education may be given ad-,
mtttance. They do not wish to hare;
an institution where room will not,
be sufficient" for all who may de
sire to attend. It is quite true that:
Chicora. as a small college there in
stead of a large college in Laurens.
would be attractive and valuable for
Greenville. Presbyterians of this state,
however, want a college worthy of
the denomination in South Carolina
and they now have the opportunity to
secure one.
? ? ?
The people oi Greenville seem some
what wrought up over the turn of af
fairs within the past week or two inj
regvrd to Chicora college. As a mat
ter of fact they ought to t/e and
a*a would think less of them if they (
were not, but realiy we can see no;
reason why they have any great cause!
of complaint nor do we doubt for a'
moment but that their belated efforts
for Chicora will be in vain. Green- j
rille failed to appreciate the material
and spiritual advantage* of Chicora
so long as there was .io fear of it
being moved elsewhere, but now a
large part of the population is up in
arms because Laurens his come to
the rescue in a very critical financial
situation and offered to sol -e its trou-,
bles. Yes. Greenville is greatly stir- i
red up over the turn of affair; but it
has stirred itself too late. The oppor-j
tunity has been offered on two differ-!
ent occasions within the past few i
months for Greenville to lend a help-.
ing hand, on the occasion of the rals- j
ing of the $200,000 indowment fund |
i and when the removal of the college !
; to another site was suggested, but both '
I of these times she fell short of con-:
i servatlve estimations of what she j
should have done. Greenville has no'
kick coming. The opportunity to do j
what Laurens has aone was offered;
but she failed to appreciate the crit-l
ical condition of the college until oth-';
er more willing hands had come and ,
offered to solve the probelm.
Our two esteemed Greenville con
temporaries. The News and The Dally i
Piedmont, have fairly bubbled over
with columns and columns of sen- ?
timenta) guash about the claims of I
Greenville on Chicora and the bene-!
Ocial advantages ?water. sir. hills,
etc..? of Greenville as a college town.)
The common peculiarity about all of.
these arguments has been that thev i
lacked the facts ?o substantiate k .e
claims of Greenville. The most plausi
ble statement yet put forth by these
stalwart fellows Is that Greenville is
a fine town for a college and that fact
[ anybody will cheerfully admit. But
; that it is a fine town for three of
them is questionable. In fact it has
been demonstrated to the contrary.
Recent developments tend to show
that one less would work little hard
ship upon Greenville, would be a
j great boon to the other two. allow
! Greenville to give more time and
\ money to million dollar cotton mills
I and lastly at the same time tickle to?
death about five of six thousand en
thusiastic Chicora "fans" down this
side.
Now. let's get down to a few of the
I arguments put forth by our Green
ville friends.
A hitherto lingering doubt in the'
minds of some as to the wisdom of
changing the location at all now bursts
out with great force in opposition to
the move. But here is what the com
mittee appointed to study the differ-,
ent phases of the subject thought about
R: "Our present site while beautiful
and convenient, it not Commodious. In {
our judgment the interests of the col
lege will demand removal from it at
no distant day." Bat on the other
side Is a suggeatlon from a Greenville
member of the board: "the present
plant Is entirely adequate, that Is to
say, there is plenty space left where
on to build more buildings." Tes,
plenty of room for buildings; s couple
of acres more, but after all the pres
ent limited and now unsuitable, though
beautiful, space is taken up with
buildings where are the gins going to
play or take exercise? A plenty of
roof for a skyscraper or so and then
some. Girls demand large athletic
grounds now as the boys do and there
is neither room enough nor the right
kind at the present site to afford such
pleasures. Anyhow. The Daily Pied
mont says: "Chicora college is grow
ing and it is evident that more room
is needed." We ourselves heartily
agree with The Piedmont and also
with that one Greenville citizen who
claims that to put the college in the
st'hurbf would he unwise because it'
would reduce the local daily attend- j
ance. Therefore. If the present sit*
Is unsuited and a. suburban site is not
desirable, the logic*.! conclusion is to;
move the college elsewhere or pay an
enormous price for a* site nearer In I
town. Since The News has said, there
~ plenty of room down here at Lau
rens. we will be able to furnish a
suitable, convenient and attractive
site near or inside the city and no
body but Laurens vfll have to bother
about the price. It might not be outj
of place to suggest here that experl- >
ence has not shown that the larger the
place the more successful the college.1
It la unnecessary to quote circum-!
stance* for it will occur to all that j
a large number of the most success-1
ful colleges in this and other states are
located in small towns. Comparisons!
however odious sometimes serve
their purpose: Of the two Presby
terian institutions of learning in South!
Carolina, the boys" college at Clinton ;
and the girls' college at Greenville,
which has received most support from
the places in which they are located?
The Presbyterian college at Clinton
has received about $50,000 from Clin
ton. How much has Chicora received
from Greenville! Going still further
Our church in Laurens has contribut
ed over $12,000 in t.^e past three or
four yeors to Presbyterian education
al institutions outside of Laurens and
never once has cried out about it be
ing right nor have they asked that
it be returned because the money is to
be spent "elsewhere." We daresay
there is not a city in the state of
South Carolina that has been as gen
erous and unselfish in building up
church institutions elsewhere as has
Laurens.
The trouble about Greenville is that
it's too progressive. It's too fond of
million dollar cotton mills. It will
be noted that all the business men
that were present at the board meet
ing were strongthly opposed to mov
ing the college "from the standpoint
that they would hate to >ee Greenville
lose the college (quit natural? and
it from a pure business standpoint."
i Also quite natural. Most of the busi
ness men were from Greenville.) There
is no denying that from a bu Lness;
standpoint the college is an attractive'
proposition. Laurens appreciates that
and doesn't hesitate to say so.
About that fine Greenville air and
water, electric lights and ?e might
add, gas. We people of Laurens are
rather proud of the healthful record of i
our city. Our air is as pure as any.
our water cannot be criticized, our
electric lights get out of whack some j
times but they are above the average,
but as to gas we are a little shy. as
can be certified to by recent develop
ments. We work, say little and then
explain afterwards. < As per this
lengthy eplst'.e.?
To the moral claim of Greenvil'.e
very little weight can be attached. The
Presbyterians of the state purchased
outright a majority interest in the col
lege and the property '.3 theirs to deal j
with as their consciences dictate to!
be best. What Greenville has given'
to it In the way of financial and moral j
support has been amply returned toj
Greenville by the college icself. The
-m?/^ has contributed as much or {
more to the prosperity of Greenville
than ha? Greenville contributed to ti. ?? j
college, so the obligations are mutual.
I^aurens. in all seriousness, has a I
strong ciaim for a college that has
not hitherto been stressed* very much.
Maybe, it has been because of a cer
tain pride involved in a discussion of
such a claim or It may have been for
other reaao&S. But Laurens wants
a colle?* to fill a gap in the education
al system of the county as have near
ly all progressive cities In South Car
olina. She feels the need of an in
stitution in her midst that will impart
that refinement and culture, that in
terest in and appreciation of. history,
language, literature, and the fine arts
as is only acquired where a source of
such culture exists and where rich
and poor alike can enjoy Its advantag
es. The work of a Christian college
Is to create such an atmosphere and
we know of no better field to work in
than in one that is not aiready so sup
plied.
But we have no misgivings about
the Presbyterians standing by the res
olutions they have passed. The mat
ter was thoroughly discussed at the
trustee meeting and the board would
not have submitted a proposition to
Laarens if there was any question
shout rescinding It. We believe that
these gentlemen weighed the matter
carefully and considered it from every
standpoint before coming to a conclu
sion and we are <nre, that after allow
ing Laurens to put forth a tremen
dous effort to meet the terms laid
down, they will abide by their deci
sion.
CHICORA XOT OX THE BLOCK.
Very volumnious arguments have
been put forth by the two papers of'
Greenville In rvgard to the removal of
Chicora college to Laurens. We vish
we had fpaee to print them all. but
of course the limitations of a weekly
paper forbid- We would not consider
that we had dealt fairly with them,
however, if we went at length into an
argument about the matter and not
print anything on the other side. We
have therefore selected one good long
one by The Daily Piedmont, one that
is so good that even the Piedmont it
self ran it twice. We feel, therefore,
that we would be doing the right thing
by printing for a third time this ed-'
torial thought so much of in Green-'
rille. We will make only one comment
upon It. It will be noted that "The;
dream of Greenville Presbyterians has:
been etc. Now. right there is the
"rub." Greenville has bee*? working
all day on her million dollar cotton.
mills and other enterprises denoting;
thrift and material progress, but only :
dreaming at odd times of Chicora,
Here is the Piedmont's editorial in
full:
Why not? Was. or can there be
any loeieal reason advanced for its
removal to Laurens that would r.o:
apply with equal force to Anderson.
Spartanburg, Rock Hill, Greenwood.
Oaffney or even to Greer, Easley.
Belton or anywhere else.
If the offer of Laurens in cash and
acres of land is increased by some
other oommunlty. Is ri fair to the
college to give Laurens the prefer
ence? Certainly no place but Green
ville has any preferential claim on
Chicora. for Greenville built the in
stitutlon and has nurtured it to the'
present time.
A few years ago when the Pres
byterians were disturbed by the
greatly reduced attendance at the
Columbia Theological Seminary, a
city of another state made qaite a
handsome offer for the removal of
the Institution Into their midst. This
city was much larger than Colum
bia, deservedly had the reputation
of making the en'erorlses. that it
got behind, succeed. Tre Theologi
cal Seminary was not by any means
the outgrowth of or bullded entirely {
j by Columbia's gifts, yet. when the,
question of its removal came up ai
gentleman we have in mind objected
most strenuously to such action, and'
we unc -stand that while he admit-'
ted the .egal right of the church to|
do this, he said that they would per-'
petrate a great moral wrong.
"Whose ox is gored" makes a
great difference. The gentleman
who objected so strenuously to the
removal of the Seminary, a ckizen
of Columbia, with home and Inter
ests there, appears in Greenville as
the champion and leader of the
forces who fought for the removal
of Chicora. Up to the present time
Greenville has put up all of the act
ual cash that has gone into Chicora.'
the Synod of South Carolina has
only incurred some debt. Surely
this action Is comparable to that of
the Mexican who will take a good
sure eaited horse, ride him hard
all the day, and when night comes
he takes his silver mounted saddle,
the service of the steed has enabled
him to buy. and place it carefully
away; but the poor horse I? hit a

the pain of it may urge him?far

footed, full of mettle but not vie-!
ious. minds the bridle well and un
derstands even the pressure of a1

Sken far away and tried upon a

but untried and unbroken. Of
course a fresh, well groomed steed
looks good for a new start, but the
horse on which you have journeyed
safely thus far had better be weil 1
considered before you discard him
for another.
Sometimes even a well intentional '
rider or driver will condemn the ac
tion of his horse, when his own lack
of experience, awkwardness or nerv
ousness is the cause of :he animal's
sroing wrone. Wouldn't it be well
for the trustees of Chicora to look
at its affairs from this viewpoint?
Hi\e the citizens of Greenville al
ways been unresponsive, does all the
Fault rest with them? Has the con
tac. of the college's management
Wl the community always been
dip. matlc and tactful? If soreness
has been engendered, have adequate
attempts been made to cure the
wounds ?
These mat rs are simply sue
eested. that vhile Chicora is before
the public, all things that would
made for its highest welfare might
receive due consideration.
The question of the removal of
Chicora college having been agitat
ed, probably it would be well to
r.lace a few facts before the nub
ile that some people are not fami
liar with.
Greenville has more Presbyterians
living in its midst than any other
city or community rn South Caro
lina.
Greenvtlla Presbyterians give more
of their means to the support of the
churches different causes thsn do the
members of this denomination in any
other city of the stats.
Ore?rills, as a city. Is growing
more rapidly in population and
waalth than any other community in
ths state.
As a cold blooded business proposi
tion. If Greenville had no Presbyter
Ian college, and you were looking
for a place to locate one. how would
this city Impress you with its advan
tages as a good place for its loca
tion? If yon hsd a Presbyterian
college here, that had been given to
you. would you think It a good busi
ness proposition to move it to a smal
lAr. less wealthy and les progressive
city? Would sou think it mot??My
right to sell out your benefactor even
though a ?'mess of pottage" is offered
that?Inyour estimation?would ap- j
pease a present hunger?
As an act of common justice, to
be morally as well as legally right
let the Synod of South Carolina give
back to Greenville that which it gave.
Greenville to assume all of its indebt
edness, then let Laurens or any other
toTi. ?hat in the opinion of some of
the trustees might be a better loca-:
tlon. give to them a College.
The dream of Greenville Presby-1
terians has been for a strong college
of their denomination, to be de
veloped in their midst from the ma
terial, that for several years, has been
gathering in Chicora. Little did they
thing that the very means that they
thought would bring the consumma
tion of their hopes?the transfer of the
property to the Synod of South Caro
lina?would be wielded as a club for
the smashing of all such hopes.
Surely the gentlemen voting for
the removal of the college will take
further thought before this matter is
entirely closed.
