RAD CHANCE FOR SEABROoK.
The general article on county governments
and the creation of new counties was passed
as il stood on its second reading, and now the
only remaining difference OF opinion on this
line seems to be as TO the ordinance to create
Seabrook County. or rather to make way for
its subsequent creation. 1t is likely that
Rock Hill will try and ride in on this wave,
but there has already developed considerable
opposition TO the Seabrook County PROPOSE.
tion. The programme is for 1t to come up To-
morrow.
THE SALARY GRAH.
The salary matter has been, perhaps. as
much talked about as anything that has been
done. The members are naturally very
much interested in the increased pay that
has been given, and the relusals to take out
the extra pay will be few and far between. -,
The expectation Is that the Convention Will
cost from s55,CU TO sG0,OOo
50 % TO ATLANTA AND EAcR.
A majority Of the members are making
their preparations for the Carolina day cele,
oraton In atlanta Governor ha Evans and 10
exercises, and great many OF the members
feel that if they do not go on this occasion
they will never get such a chance again. Inc
railroads are cutting rates, and tickets were
sold to-day for So y for The round trip. A
number Of the members do not care 10 60
unless the Convention adjourns for the cele-
bration, but even If there Is no adJournment
there will hardly be q quorum left. The
no embers of the Convention are all expected
TO sign the Constitution after it Ia ratified, so
those members who may 60 home instead oil
to the Exposition will no doubt have TO re-
turn here for the purpose OF atflXing their
names TO the new Constitution.
GENERAL PACIFICATIoN.
The best OF feeling and fellowship con-
tipues to prevail among the members, and
there can be no question that the Conven.
ton has had the effect of bringing the re-
preventative men Of the two factions closer
together and to cause them to appreciate the
fact that neither faction wears horns, but
that they are all Of one people. 4. X.

Sunday at the Waupun Prison.

During the regular monthly service of song
held at the state prison today. the chaplain. Rev.
w. G.. Bancroft. gave out the announcement
that Uncle" Robert West. will sing solo
entitled "Twenty-Six Years Behind the Bars"
This announcement brought forth shower of
hand-clapping. After few brief remarks by
the chaplain concerning the song and the singer
we were pleased to note the prolonged applause
which greeted Mr. West (who is known in our
midst as Uncle Robert who said in substance
Fellow prisoners comrades, ladies and gentle
men: During the "twenty-siX years. which
have spent in this prison. ] have many times
sung to you. but never before have had the
pleasure to address you, and as I am about to
sing a song. one of my own composition. desire
to offer word in explanation. I have hereto
fore endeavored to compose and sing songs of a
light and Jolly character. but this song is sad
one. particularly sad to me- as it is Il true story
of the varied incidents of my life from my boy
hood days to the present time. am not poet,
and perhaps not worthy of much notice as a
composer. This song is the only one of its kind
have ever known or heard Of and you may
know from the title that there is something sad
to follow. in 'Twenty-Sx Years Behind the
Bars | am getting old and my voice is fail
me if fail to get through with all this song, for
in few brief days or years my voice will be
broken and hushed to you forever
At the conclusion of his remarks there was
prolonged shower of applause and Immediately
the author and composer began the sweet. yet
pathetic strains of his beautiful song. At the
close of the first verse he was applauded. and at
the conclusion of the second there were many
weeping eyes that have perhaps been closed tC
| all feeling of sentiment for years past, and as
the singer broke forth in the third verse and
throughout the remaining portion of this solo
both convicts and citizens wept, and the citizens
were heard to eXclaim with the singer at the enc
of each verse. "Twenty-SiX Years Behind the
Bars.' The citizens added words of sympathy
and at the conclusion of the song there arose the
well merited salute. such as has seldom if evel
been heard in our chapel befOre.-K. in Waupur

What Will Happen If the American
Woman Keeps Growing Taller.


There are indications that the
American woman is gradually grow
ing taller and larger. A few years
ago the average skirt length taken
in the fashionable dressmaking es-
Establishments was 40 inches, and Az
inches was the length used for all
the model gowns sent over here
from Paris. The model length has
now increased to 45 inches, and the
increase in other measurements is
in proportion.
The middle-aged American wo-
man shows an inclination to grow
broader across the hips and shoul-
ders, and stouter and thicker across
the arms; but the college graduate,
the University woman and the de-
butante grow more gracefully vigor-

graduate is from two to four inches
