Rock HILL, October 5.-The first pre-
sentation of "Miriam's Crime' was 80
much enjoyed that repetition was called
for. This was given on Friday night.
The performance both nights was excel
lent. On Friday night the young ladies
from Winthrop favored the performers
with their presence. The proceeds of the
two entertainments were for the benefit
of the Kings Daughters society, and
quite nice sum was realized.
The young ladies from Winthrop have
enjoyed the last few days very much. At
least one would think 80 from look at
the faces he sees 30 numerous on the
street. With their blue uniforms and
hats they present an unusually neat ap-
pearance and have literally overfowed
the town. Clerks are busy In the stores
and pedestrians are busy looking and
getting out of the way on the outside
The list, as registered, now numbers 6Ss
Had the other dormitory been built,
there is little doubt there would have
been 500 there. Their presence Is fell
throughout Rock Hill, and never more
so than on Sundays, when they march In
solid lines to the churches.
kl ,fa~ fov
church, Rev. Jureidini OF Syria, lectured
to crowded house. Such lectues as this
and that of Mr.. Yonan tend to give the
people of the United States much clear
er idea of foreign lands than can be gath
cred from books and papers.
Rock Hill seems to be favored city
The state executive committee fixed nc
campaign meeting for this place, and
now the circus passes by on the other
side" This truly is lucky. For general
decentralization commend US to circus
with its train of sideshows, "Circassian
snake charmers," and in fact the trouble
begins, as soon as the posting Of papers
begins and ends not until these are torn
off and burned. Jack Robinson has fa'
vored US.
The Southern Railway has announced
q cheap rate for the state fair. The lowest
of these is to be on sale on the 11th and
IL to return not later than the 14th, and
costs $40. This includes one entrance
coupon.
The Rock Hill Grocers' association sent
a delegation to appear before the council
at its last meeting with the request thai
they be given protection from the apple
wagons, by the charging of license of s.
per day, instead of 81 as heretofore
This, practically, will rule out the wagons
from the retail trade, and will force them
to sell to merchants only. During the
winter months good deal of fruit is sold
by these itinerants. Action was post
poned until the next meeting of council.
Rev. ]. Barr Harris has gone to assist
Rev. A. J. Stokes in carrying on meet
ing in Laurens. His sister will accompa
ny him to aid in furnishing music during
the meeting. Since the meeting so lately
closed here, efforts are being made tc
build another church building on the
west side of Rock Hill. Some encourage
ment has been met with, but they are
not ready just to begin work.
We were pleased to see at her old home
for the past few days, Mrs. Daisy Kuy'
kendall and the junior of the family
Yesterday the doctor added his welcome
presence. They are always welcome and
we would be glad to see them oftener.
