IRBY COULDN'T STAND 1T.
a Boycott in Laurens Because of an Invi-
tation to Judge Haskell.

[Statf Report Spartanburg Herald.]
For some reason. most probably be-
cause most Of the fat offices are already
filled land not few by Laurens men),
the political market has been unusu-
ally dull for the past few weeks. In
fact, the people had so far forgotten the
late contest as to cast about for indus
trial enterprise and to work for the ma
terial advancement Of the town. They
decided to make bid for the State In
dustrial School for girls. Senators and
congressman were enlisted in the cause
and matters had gone so far as to win
the approval of the grand Triumvirate,
so the story goes. The Industrial
School secured, Laurens had with one
stroke established herself.
Alas, the tender leaves of hope were
destined to be subjected to a frost-a
killing frost! Iii al unguarded mo-
ment an indiscretion was committed.
Professor Evans, of the Laurens Male
academy, invited Gen. A. G. Haskell
to make literary address before the
school at its close in June. This
was done without the knowledge
or consent of the powers that be, and
Senator John L. NJ. Irby at least was
very indignant. He could not allow
bis son to remain one day longer at the
school which would listen to literary
address from Gen. haskell, and it is
also said that Col. Irby's enthusiastic
support Of Laurens as site for the in
dustrial school ended with the an
nouncement and whereas once the case
was different, now Laurens is mot in
it." Of course, the affair created great
comment. Some people thought it
was mistake to invite Gen. Haskell
in view Of recent events. Others
thought differently, but did not find
one individual who justified boycott
ting in the premises.
WHAT IRBY SAYS ABOUT 1T.
Especial to the State.]
LAURENs, S. c., April l5.-Senator
Irby's irritation at the invitation ex-
tended by Prof. Evans to Col. A. c..
Haskell to make literary address be-
fore his school in June has not been
previously mentioned in this CORES
pondence, because it was thought that
agitation of the subject might injure
Laurens' chances for getting the girls
industrial school.
In a conversation this morning Col.
1rby stated to me that his sympathies
had been enlisted with the town to get
the industrial school, and that he had
intended to work for it; that the town
had asked him to use his influence, and
that he was doing so; but that, feeling
that the town endorsed the action OF
Prof. Evans, be had given notice that
he had withdrawn his influence, and
would have nothing more to do with
1t. He further said, however, that he
does not intend to fight the efforts to
get the school, and that all the differ
ences between the town and himself in
regard to the matter had been healed
declining, though, to state the grounds
Of the treaty.
1t is presumed, therefore, that Sena.
tor Irby will work with the citizens
generally to get the school located here,
while politics will, of course, be entirely
ignored.
Col. Haskell has hosts of friends, who
will give him an enthusiastic welcome
when he comes to Laurens.

On Monday night last the ladies of the
Mite Society of st. Paul's Reformed Church,
this city. gave a very enjoyable entertainment
at Odd Fellows Hail. The Court of King
Christmas" play on the order of eantata,
was a noteworthy feature of the program.
At 7.3G o o'clock the curtain rose and revealed
4 large. elevated throne. Six little misses
alfred in white and six in red and black
marched on the stage, and, forming an arch
with the wands they carried, Santa Claus,
King of Christmas Land, appeared on the
scene and passed through the arch to his
throne. A number of boys and girls, appro-
priately eostumel, represented the king $
subjects, and all made a fine appearance IN
their CAV colored robes. The different parts
of the cantata we're well executed and the
children as well as their instructors deserve
much credit for the manner in which they
performed their parts. The remainder OF the
program comprised several tableaux and a
recitation, 1.-The Gypsy Flower Girl" by
Miss jamie Thomas, who is deserving OF
snecial mention for the charming manner IN
which she recited. The Westminster Orches-
fra furnished music on the occasion. The

program are to be congratulated on the sue
cess of their first public entertainment.
