HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

anime SOLID GOLD WATCH. that aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing. n large proportion OF the precious
metal used Is needed only to stincn and hold
tho engraved portions in place. and supply the
II ceSsary solldity nnd strength. The surplus
gold Is actually needless sc. far rs UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PAT.
ENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE OF pre-
clous metal. Is overcome, and tho SAME soLIDIrY
AND STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
onc-half OF the usual cost OF solid cases. This
process Is OF tho most simple nature, as fol-
lows: plate Of nickel composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose, hasswo plates
OF SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three arc then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result Is strip OF heavy plat ed
composition. from which the cases, backs cen.
tres, bezzles, &C.. are cut and shaped by suita.
ble dies and formers. The gold in these cases
is sufficiently thick to admit OF all kinds of
chasing, engraving and enameling; the on
graved cases have been carried until worn per-
fcctly smooth by time and use without remov.
ing the gold.

TIE BAPTIST FESTIVAL,

Largo Crowd--A Fine supper Much Eli
joyed--The General Features of the En-
tertainment-A A Financial Success. j.
1t is seldom that as large u crowd is
seen, In Winnsboro as was gathered in
the Thcspian Hall OH Friday night
the occasion being tho entertainment
given by the ladies Of tho Baptist con-
grcgation, for the purpose Of raising
funds with which to- repaint their
church building. Eight o'clock was
the hour at which people were expect
ed to assemble, and at that time the
hall was pretty full. In the next half
hour tho crowd continually increased
until there was scarcely room for a
good7sized human to turn round COM
fortably. The first thing In order was
the supper. Tables were set in the
middle Of tho hall and on the stage,
and soon the seats around were all
occupied by expectant and apprecia-
tive guests. The repast was fine
speak advisedly. But tho thing that
I added much to Its excellence was the
young lady attendants. They were
Consistently on the look-ontto minister

to tho dcsires Of their guests, and for
one to mention wish wus to have it
promptly gratilicd. You would be
getting OH finely, when one of these
mattresses Gf that's q good wordD
would como and say, "Mr. --, can't
I help you to something" "Cortain-
ly," you'd reply, meaning to be polite ;
Dnt Then recalling your senses you'd
say. something like-"No-I-tl,ank-
yo,l--Pm very nicely helped" This
was the very truth; for a man who
wouldn't be satisfied with what was
put before him at the supper on Friday
night don't know what's good for him.
No sooner are you through with the
substantials than these same young
lady attendants come around you and
intimate the propriety of your taking
somc icc-crcam, Strawberries, char
lottc-russe, etc, etc. Of course you
give in at once, and you soon almost
forget the fine substantials in feasting
Oh the delicious sweet things. All
things; they tell us, must have an end,
and SO with eating. You get up from
the table, ft cling better.
But this account is all topsy-turvy.
In the natural order of things there
should first have been a description Of
the hall. All the arrangements be-
spoke both skill and taste on the par
Of those who made them. At the cast
end Of the hall was aprctty and unique
lemonadc-wcll, from which were
drawn frequent draughts of that popu-
lar beverage. On the south was q
table full offancy articles in great va
rtety-and this is the place where pco-
pie bought lots ofprctty things, whcth-
CT they wanted them or not. On the
samc side were the tables where we're
served cake, fruit and other nice
things. The north side of the hall was
occupied with the icc-crcam tables,
All tho tables wcrc tastcfulIy dressed
with festoons and flowers, and all
looked very pretty. Besides the bust
ness done at the tables, there was a
lively trade in flowers. rafllcs, grab
bags, scgars, etc., conducted by numcr-
ous itincrant salcs-ladics. whose deli
cate "druS:ming" it was wcll-nigh im-
possible to resist.
The entertainment was kept up to n
late hour, the crowd diminishing very
SLOWLY, and everybody seeming to
have fine time.
We have not learned the exact
amount realized. We are informed
that it will about reacl, one hundred
and scvcnty-five dollars, clear Of cx-
penses.

MONTICELLO, April 16.-An infucn-
"a, somewhat resembling the once
fashionable Hampton Grip, now pro-
walls to some extent in these parts,
paying its respects to both old and
young. l unfortunately know from
experience that the former is so. The
weather has been fine, favorable and
forcing since last Saturday. Corn is
popping up, farmers pushing ahead,
some planting cotton and others ready
to 90 so. Col. Thos. Dawkins has lent
me paper bearing the impress of
March, 1910. I cannot how say any
thing about it, but will at another
time. I could give you dot about
the D-'s last baby, but fair prom
ise made by Il TO me and my own
indisposition prevents If he docs not
fulfill it will send fill particulars in
my next.
Last night was warm and clear as a
marriage bell, and tho charadcs passed
off charmingly. In the southern end
Of the school room was erected stage,
tastcfully and beautifully decorated
with festoons of evergreens, flowers,
pictures and engravings, a nice carpet
and we'll arranged footlights and draw
curtain. So complete was the trans
mogrification that I am satisfied the
old dominic did not recognize his end
of the school room. While the house
was filling, and at intervals in tho
evening, we had artistic and most de-
lightful music OH the piano and flute
by Mr.. and Mrs. Scott. t'In the Star
Light was most swcctly sung by
Misses Pauline Scott aend Fannie
Davis, during one of the intervals.
After the house filled, the curtain
was drawn, revealing the beautiful tab
loau, "Look to the Cross and Cling"
Several other beautiful tablcaux fol-
lowed. We then had tho charade
"Area Belle," which was quito cred
liable to the performers. "Dandelion'
Was so we'll rendered and so well re-
ceived by tho audience as to be encorcd.
1t will richly repay another repetition.
Where all did SO we'll 1 cannot dis
criminato. but mnst say that the ell
tire entertainment was a most eminent
success. Mrs. DR.. Owens has dis
played great tact, taste and Judgment
III the management and general "get
Off" of the entertainment. Those who
are interested in the equipment
OF the school-room cannot
but be most thankful to her for the
zeal and interest she has taken in this
matter. The audience was large, and
all enjoyed themselves very much.
After the performance was over we
had some most delightful music on
tho piano and violin by Miss Saunders.
OF Virginia, and Mr.. A. w. Ladd.
Between the acts and tableaux deli
cious lemonade and cake were handed
around. This table was presided over
ny Mrs. j. Murray Kirkland and Mrs.
Robert Lupo, and from the way in
which tho goblets flew around I rather
think "many dimes" were gathered
In. | could write much more about
this most delightful entertainment,
