The New York Symphony Club, un-
der the auspices OF the Knights OF
Pythias, were greeted with splendid
audience at the Armory Saturday night.
The character OF the entertainment was
a little different from what was expected
but the company nevertheless gave gem
eral satisfaction. Each member is a
thorough musician and if their efforts
were confined to the proper sphere the
entertainment would be first class. The
first part OF the programme, the alleged
comedy, adds nothing and should be
abandoned, as the attempts at being fun
ny are SO painful that they cast damper
on the really excellent musical portion
of the programme. The X. OF r. real
ixed neat sum on the benefit.

A telegram was received on Monday
by Mrs. ]. w. Duncanson from Tacoma,
Wash, announcing the death at that
place of her son, A Dunca nson, as he
was familiarly known here. The de-
ceased was formerly popular employe
of Gutridge & Foley and also of Spargurs
but left here about year ago for
Chicago. He remained there only a
short time before going to the far west,
where he hoped to find health, as he
was sufferer from lung trouble, which
was finally the cause of his death. 1t
has been decided by the family not to
bring the remains home but to have
the interment at Tacoma.

STILL AT LIBERTY.
George Pickett and Two Other ..Pris.
oners Escape From the George.
town Jail.

George Pickett has gone little further
in building up criminal career for which
he has laid such good foundation.
Last Wednesday morning he, in COM
pany with A. L. Hanselman, another
forger and Jim Williams, colored
burglar from Decatur, escaped from the
Georgetown Jail and neither of the trio
has yet been captured. The delivery
was effected sometime between midnight
and a. M, and was discovered about
the latter hour by Sheriff Woods. The
cells occupied by the three men were
left unlocked and entrance to the Jail
hall was made easy. The door from the
hall was then unlocked, it is supposed
with key made by fuckett, who is
quite an ingenious mechanic. Posses
we're sent out in different directions but
the prisoners could not be found. The
telephone wires north OF town were
found cut and it is thought that they
went in that direction.
The Georgetown papers say that Puck.
thas been corresponding with woman
in Hillsboro ever since his imprisonment
and that the day before he took his de-
parture he received an eighteen page
letter from her, part of which was in
cipher and which may have had some
thing to do with the escape. The woman
poses as his "Cousin Matte" in the
letters.
George Justice, of Sardinia, who is in
Jail for killing Stephen Feike, was asked
by the three to go with them but re-
fused.
Puckett is reported to have been seen
here Wednesday night but it is impos.
sible to find the. origin of the story al.
though it is more than probable that he
was somewhere in this vicinity at the
time. No reward has been offered foI
his apprehension.

foundry room and the second from the
machine and pattern shops. Mr.. Will.
liams, during his stay here of over two
years, has been very popular with the

More Blind Tigers at Charleston.
Charleston, Oct. 3-The dispensary

A novel picture of the days work wa S
the searching of the private residence of
A. Cantani in King street. In this was
found a celler full of rare old Italian
wines, the private property of Cantini,
who has been importing the wine for
years and who does not sell it. There
was at first promise of resistance
when the constables attempted to enter
the house, but the owner finally permit
ted the search
Today, as on yesterday, each squad of
raiders was attended by detachment of
police, but the raids were at establish
ments on side streets some distance from
the business thoroughfares, and the
crowds that collected were not as large as
they were yesterday. In every instance
the suspected establishment was pillaged
the constables carrying off everything
that might be used in bar room, includ-
ing the doors and screens. The peculiar
feature of the raid is that there is not the
slightest trouble tonight in getting any
thing one may want in the shape of
liquors in any section of the city.

COTTON IN CAROLINA.
The Bolls Opening Rapidly, and Pick
ing VIII be Over by Nov. /.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 3.-The cotton
crop report of this state published
to-day says: "Cotton is opening
rapidly, and with good weather
the crop will be all gathered by
Nov. l. Some damage from water drop
ping off wet leaves and staining the staple
is reported in the western counties. Alb
beville county reports cotton nearly half
gathered. There will be no late crop, or
very little, in many counties. Estimates
still give cotton at about half crop
In Newbury county all the cotton on
red lands is open and that on sandy lands
opening rapidly. Some trouble is being
experienced in gathering in Lancaster
county on account of so much being dead
from rust and covered with grass. The
crop will be less than last year.
''All hands are at work in Orangeburg
county, where very little remains to open.
The crop is being rapidly sold. Many
farmers have finished, and the yield for
the majority of planters will be less than
a half crop, the worst yield ever known
to farmers in that section.
The crop in Berkely county is turning
out badly and not thirding itself in gin
ming.

being picked, but it is of poor quality"
