MEMORIAL SERvICEs.-The memorial
services at Ebenezer last Monday were well
attended and were impressive throughout.
The Catawba Rifles and the Cornet Band
went out from Rock Hill, accompanied by
quite a number of our citizens. Mr.. w. B.
McCaw, of Yorkville, delivered the oraton.
He made an excellent speech of half
hours duration, portraying the devotion of
the Southern soldier to his loved country
and recalling the heroism and fortitude of
the armies of the South. After the Grafton
the roll of the hOnored dead was called.
The ladies and soldiers then proceeded to
decorate the graves of the Confederate SOL
diers with evergreens and flowers. With
devoted hearts and patriotic hands all join
ed in the sacred privilege of bestowing their
floral tribute to the memory of the heroes
whose bones lie under the peaceful shades
of the spreading oaks at EbeneZer and the
comrades scattered and sleeping in the GEM
eteries and on CORY fields all over this fair
land.-Rock HUI Herald, 18th.
EXEMPTIONS FROM JURY DUTY.-Just
after the recent riots in Cincinnati it was
claimed that many of the best citizens of
that place were exempted by law from jury
duty, and that in consequence of these ex-
emptions the administration of justice was
practically in the hands of the criminal
classes or those who sympathized with
them. The Pee-Dee Lndsr thinks that there
are too many legal exemptions from jury
duty in this State, and that the law in re-
gard to the matter should be repealed. Un-
der the law as it stands one hundred and
eight of the best citizens of the county are
exempted from serving on the juries. Un-
der the General Statutes there are more than
twenty different classes of exemption. The
Georgetown Enquirer thinks that this is a
weak spot in our system of administering
Justice, and that it is one of the primary
causes of the unsatisfactory results Of trial
by jury. This isa matter that is we'll worth
careful investigation by the Legislature.
Thirty years ago there were only one

AMUSEMENT HALL.

hessrs Hunter & Oates have decided to fit up
the second story of their "Mammoth' store
building for the purposes of public hall for
amusements &c. Their modesty, if not their
sense of propriety, prevents them from styling it
an opera house, as that term is applied to similar
halls in nearly every village in the Union boast
ing of a "barn- n-storming" establishment; but
their hall will be fitted up in more creditable
manner than are similar halls in towns of greater
pretensions. 1t will have commodious stage
furnished with theatrical scenery and the acces-
sories OF comfortable. dressing rooms, green
room, &C., and the seats of the auditorium will
be in tiers. The seating capacity of the hall will
be about 500. Workmen are now engaged in fit
ting up the hall, and it will be in readiness for
the next season, when the proprietors will have
it opened by a leading professional company.

OUT OF DOORS.
ADay in the Woods for the Poor Children
and Their Mothers.

Last year union picnic was given by the
charity societies to the children of the poor and
and their mothers. Eight hundred were taken
10 North Salem. The Flower Mission, Benevo-
lent Society, Children's Aid Society, and several
industrial schools were represented. We wish
to repeat this about the 10th of July. We pro
pose to take one thousand out, and give them
such good-times that the kingdom of heaven
will seem to have come.
The cost of this will be about $3.50, the ex-
penses being for cars, ice cream, etc. Food is
provided by the good friends among the ladies,
bakers andgrocers All who are interested are
asked to contribute. Some will be called upon.
They may leavethe amount at the rooms of the
Charity Organization Society, or send it by mail
Those who gave last year will not be forgotten
The reward of doing one good act is the privilege
of doing another. Do they enjoy it, One boy
said that ''the grub was better than it was in
jail" Another, "You ought to have been there,
/ had all the ice cream l wanted to eat" A
woman said that she had been sick all the year
thinking of the ice cream that was wasted.
Another, IF you'll just ask me this summer I'll
be sure to 60"
Those of you who go off for the summer to the
lakes, the sea, the mountains, think of the
women who never leave home for a day of pleas
ure; of the children who have to live in hot
rooms, and whose only taste of the fruits of the
earth is the stale, half-decayed refuse of the
stores. OSCAR G. MCCULLocH

Democratic party was a necessity and would
last because it was born to oppose itself to
monopolies.
W. H. D. Hunter discussed 'The Duty of the

support The editor is no more indebted to his
party and is under no greater obligation to do
the unpleasant and offensive work than any
other member of the party. The duty of the

must be reciprocal.

class of 1881, Mr.. Phillips took course at
the Harvard Law School and was admitted
TO the Suffolk bar in 1884.
In 1889 he gave up tie practice of his
