THE CONCERT.

The musical performance of Monday
night comprised some well selected and
well executed pieces, and we will say, gene
rally, that the scholars eyince careful and
scientific training. Weare aware, however,
that ii did not come up TO Prof. Meininger's
standard, who was the victim OF several
diSappointments the greatest of these was
the absence of Mrs. Meininger, who is in at
tendence on a brother dangerously sick.
This deprived the children OF the accompa-
niment they are accustomed to, and, in
deed, rendered the performance of some
pieces impossible. Again, Miss Postons, his
pTinld donna, had just recovered from Sc
we're sickness, and, though her singing WAS,
as always, delightful, a loss of power and
energy was quite manifest. The numerous
changes of programme, also, which several
circumstances made necessary, had thrown
things a little out of gear. Spite of all these
things we had some good music well per
formed, the palm being due to Miss PestGp's

both as regards voice and method.

FIGHTING ON ALL F0URS.

In Mason county, in 1924, an old topper
known as Joe Cooper, agreed for the con

lot in which was confined an old ram-the
terror of the neighborhood-and fight him
for the championship. The town OF Wash

planting his foot upon the liteless carcass
of his foe, demanded and drank the
whisky. Just at the moment of collision
the man had dropped his head, and the
nose of the sheep coming in contact with
the elevated shoulders, his own neck was
broken.

Welfare colored Baptist Church, situated
near Meals Creek Church, was destroyed by
fire on Monday night last about o'clock.
The burning is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary, as there has been
quite spirit of contention existing among
the members for some time, growing out of
the election of pastor for next year. The
building was new and substantial one OF
good capacity, and the white citizens of the
neighborhood have esubscribedvery literally
to replace the Church, and it is expected
that another building will soon be up. In
the meantime the villain who set the fire
should, if possible, be detected and pun

The Farmers, Meeting.

A meeting of the farmers of Anderson
County was held in the Court House on
last Monday, November 10th, with Presi-
dent T. II. Russell in the chair. Mr.. W. B.
Watson was requested to act as secretary
and Col. J. w. Norris as assistant secretary.
There was general expression of expe-
rience and observation in the use of COM
mercial fertilizers during the past year, but
no action was taken in this regard.
The following resolutions, submitted by
Maj. T. II. Russell, were discussed and
adopted by the meeting:
Resolved. That the interests of the farmers
of the entire State are deeply involved in
the successful development Of the phosphate
interests, and would respectfully recommend
that the Legislature at its next session very
carefully scrutinize all preceding legislation
on the subject, and if deemed necessary
make such changes as will more efectually
protect the interests of the people in the
premises.
Resolved, That the farmers of Anderson
County, in public meeting assembled, regret
that the framing of the Constitution of South
Carolina in 1865 was such in reference to the
homestead that it does practically benefit one
class and injure another. We cannot believe
the Democratic party in any degree respon-
sible, and we respectfully suggest that our
next Legislature take steps to so amend the
State Constitution that all persons, without
distinction or class, shall be equally protec-
ted.
RcSolred, That the following gentlemen
be appointed in their respective townships
to procure subscribers to the foregoing reso-
lutions as petition to the next Legislature
for action in the premises: Anderson G. H.
Capt. w. D. Evins, James Wilson; Fork

The following additional resolutions we're
then offered and adopted:
Resolred, That the Farmers Meeting be
continued as an organization, and that the
next meeting be held on the first Monday
in February at Anderson G. II.
Resolred, That the County papers be re-
quested to publish the proceedings of this
meeting.
On motion, it was agreed to have called
meeting on saleday in December, at which
time the committees are expected to report
the signatures obtained under the foregoing
resolution.
