With this issue of the Banner-Demo
crat. it closes its seventh year Of journ-
alistic existence. Since it's first issue,
many changes have taken place in our
town and parish. and many of our
friends have been laid away in our
Cemetery on the banks of our beautiful
lake, among them our late associate,
Col. d. L. Morgan. We wish to OK
tend our deepest thanks to our friends
and patrons for their liberal patronage
in the past and earnestly solicit the
same in the future.

of our public school, all eager TO see,
hear and enjoy the closing exercises.
The first on the program of the
evening was the opening address by
Master Eddie Hamley, who acquitted
himself well in the manner in which it
was delivered.
The next was the Flag Drill, conf
posed of sixteen beautiful girls, lead
by Mabry and Eddie Bass. The drill
was beautifully executed and not q
wrong movement was made. Give them
the practice our military boys have
had and they would not be in it with
them. The young ladies did excellent.
and the audience showed their appre-
citation by generous applause.
The song By ten of the smallest boys
of the school was very good, and show
ed how we'll they had been trained.
The recitation by Otto Hall was made
in nice style for boy Of his age.
The rendering OF "Over the Waves"
on the piano by Katie Davis was very
nicely executed.
The next Old the program was little
Farce (cathching train) by Pearl
Burney and Martain Hamley, which
was one of the best acted pieces of the
evening, and they received their share
of applause and boquets.
Visitors from StoryLand with morn
ing and night came next. Master Felix
Taylor, a regular little man, who.looked
and acted like crier in side show,
was hard to excel, and his talk and
gesters were perfect, as he introduced
the little tots to the audience.
Somebody's Mother, a recitation by
Percy Brown was delivered nicely. aud
Occupations" by eight boys, showed
what they would do if they were law
yers, doctors &c.
Music, (Loritta) by Carrie White,
was perfect, and shows that she is
under thorough musician.
Our Country's Wealth, beautiful
tableaux, composed of Eddie Base, as
Queen, and Elodie Brown, Pearl
Buraey, Julia Burney, Narcis Kennedy
and Lou Dorsey, was as pretty a sight
to look upon as one would wish TO see
They received loud and long applause
Our Ministers Sermon, recitation
by Sam O'Sulhvan, hardly fit Sans
make up, but he got away with it in
manly style. The recitation was quite
a long one.
/ "The Bridal Wine Cup" by Mis-
Mabry Bass, was the hit ofthe evening
aud the applause she received wa
highly deserving.
The Good Night Drill by several lit
tie girls dressed in white gowns, eacl
carrying doll and lighted candle
, going to place their babies 10 bed
made a pretty scene. Their quain
little sayings brought down the house
The two songs, "1he Fatal Wedding
aud parady on "Sweet Marie" b
little Rosie Fousse, who is only 81
years of age, was real surprise to tn
largo audience, who went wild and W
thought the house would be brougt

We would like to go on through th
program. giving the names OF tn
children who acted their parts so wei

RESULT OF A CANVASS.
Not Enough Votes to Pass the
Rili

WASHINGTON, Jan. ga rough prelIm-
mary canvass Of the House on the pend
ing currency bill has been made. One of
the Democratic members Of the committee,
who is favorable to the bill. is authority
for the statement that the canvass shows
a total Of 124 votes for the bill--consider-
able short of the number necessary to pass
it. Congressman Springer says that such
cauvasses as have been made are informal
and inexact He will give no figures. as
he says the purpose has not been to learn
who will vote for the bill, but who are
against it. in order that the objections
may be met aud overcome. Other men,
bers interested in the management of the
bill profess to know nothing of an exact
canvass.
1t Is undoubtedly true, however, that a
pretty close count has been made. with
the result stated. There are so many
propositions, substitutes and amendments
pending that it is probable any canvass
would fail to show the vote under the
many varying circumstances which may
be presented. The wide margin for diff
ference of canvass is indicated by the
estimate OF member made on a canvass
by State delegations that The bill would
pass by majority of twenty. 1t is also
pointed out that vote of 124, while short
of majority when the full membership
of the House is present is a reasonably
strong vote when any members are absent.

THERE is LITTLE OPPOSITION.
But Some Democratic Members Will
Not Attend the Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-There appears
to be little or no opposition to the Demo-
cratic caucus on the currency bill to be-
held on Monday. It was reported to-day
that some Southern members would refuse
to enter the caucus Or to be bound by this
action. Holman, chairman of the caucus
committee. said:
81 think the attendance will be general,
even though some members may not en-
tirely agree with the sentiment of the eau
Gus majority on what ought to be done. a
House caucus is for conference and ad-
vice, and does not bind mbers on their
votes 10 action"
Chairman Springer of the Currency Com
mittee said he had heard of no opposition
to the caucus. He thought the feeling was
generally in favor of it. Representative
Bland said he had not signed the request
for caucus but he would attend. He
said he believed in caucus attending TO
bring members together but not as bind
ing them to a course OF action they did
not personally approve.
When the caucus petition was circulated
Yesterday four Democratic members asked
to be excused from signing. They
explained that they wanted to see how the
petition turned out, and asked that it be
returned to them. IL was reported to-day
that McLaurin and other South Carolina
memb ers would decline to attend. This
could not be con firmed, however, as Nc
Laurin has n OF been in the House since
the recess. Talbert and other South Caro-
lima members expressed purpose of at
