An Entertainment of Much Interest at the
 Roof Gaarden Last Night.


 An Entertainmento of Much Interest at the
 Roof Giarden Last Night.
 The first of a series of dramatic and musical recitals given on the Hotel Ma jestic roof garden by MT. William J, Romain and Miss Louise Topping oc- cured last evening. The recitals are to be given every evening at S:So o'clock for a week. A large audience was present last night and the enter tainment proved & very pleasing di- version.
 Miss Topping lived at one time in this city and has many friends here. Her voice has extraordinary range and power and her manner is unaf- fected and ingratiating. Miss Top pings singing is of especial interest to the vocal students, because she is a pupil of 10. A. Hayes and a warm ad- herent of his much-disputed methods of teaching. Mr. Hayes at one time taught in this city, where he had sev- eral pupils, among them Miss Topping and MT. Van der Linde. Since his re- moval to New York Miss Topping has continued her study with him and represents his 'physiologicaP' method of voice production. Hence her sing ing is of particular interest to the mu- sical faculty of the town, and lyric stars were present in abundance last night to listen and observe. Miss Top ping sang songs by Nevin, DeKoven, Motere and Isadore eLuckstone's charm ing waltz. It was difficult task to sing in the open air, but the singer accomplished the feat with a consid- erable degree of success.
 MT. Romain is well remembered in this city by his impersonation of "Gecko'' in the performances of ''Tril- by given here last year. He appear ed to better advantage last evening, and his various recitations were ex- cellently done, entirely above the usu- al order of elocutionary performances.
 During the week beginning August 3, Raymond Stevens and wife will be at the Majestic and sing at the roof garden concerts. MT Stevens was with Rice's '1492" and played there the part of Columbus Miss H. A. Carr of New York, who sings at the Church of the Epiphany in that city, will also sing at the roof garden the same week.

A committee on reception escorted Mr..

the number of persons crowded together
at the city hall. They were not very en-
thusiastic at first, but after Mr. Bryan
began to speak their interest was mani

he had delivered. He was energetic in
gesture and in expression and altogether
showed considerable feeling. John T.

right to the command and control of the

equivocal gold plank in its platform
"The democratic convention, for the
first time, refused to submit to the be-
hests of that same autocratic power, but,
with signal courage and fidelity to its
constituents, determined to register the
will of the people and in unmistakable
terms declared for genuine bimetallism.
"And what is the result? Immediately
the gold element in the democratic party
combines with the gold element in the
republican party to elect Mckinley on a
gold platform.
And what else? The same Montgom-

conspicuous in it's denunciation of a reg

convention as having been composed of
socialists and anarchists.

carried out their wishes?@

HIGH PRAISE.
Auditor Purifoy Comments Upon the Work Of
Two Retiring Officials of Jefferson
County-A Good Showing.

Montgomery, Aug. 25.-(Special)-
There are in the state of Alabama two
county officers who are deserving of
very full measure of praise" said Audi
tor Purifoy to a State Herald corre-
spondent this morning. "They are Tax
Collector Hewitt and Tax Assessor
Robertson of Jefferson. They will soon
retire from the positions which they
have held for two terms, and it is only
just to say that no county in the state
ever had a more efficient or more faithful
pair of public servants. For instance,
for the tax year of 1895, the payments on
which have just been completed, Tax
Collector Hewitt paid into the state
treasury for general purposes the sum of
$166,539.29 over all allowances for errors,
insolvencies, commissions to assessor
and collector and taxes in litigation.
This is about $65,000 more than any
county in the state pays, by the way.
There was an allowance for insolvencies
in this payment of only $84.54. There are
many other counties in the state paying
far less tax to which allowances for this
item is larger, and in one of which 1t Is
nine times as great. His record for the
good and his poll tax statements make as
good showings. In addition to all this,
his promptness and accuracy in settling
with the state should serve as models
for other assessors" 3,
The auditor says that equal credit
should be accorded the retiring tax as

PRIMARY IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Marked by Languor and a Light
Vote.
THE CONTEST FOR SENATOR
Was the Focal Point of Interest Throughout
the State.
EARLE IS z Sac EVANS A CLOSE RACE

=. Governor-Eliiott Returned.
III

Columbia, s. c., Aug. 25.-The state
democratic primary today was marked
by languor and a light vote. Only en-
rolled members of the democratic clubs
were allowed to participate, and this re-
duced the possible vote. Out of 10000
whites of voting age probably not more
than half took part Interest centered in
the nomination for United States senator.
John Gary Evans the present governor.
was Senator Tillman's favorite for the
position and was indorsed by him in a
letter. His chief competitor was Joseph
H. Earle, who unsuccessfully opposed
Tillman for the democratic nomination
for governor in $780, but has since oc-
cupied neutral position and was elect
ed circuit judge by the Tillman faction
three years ago. John T. Duncan, state
house clerk, was another rival. He made
his campaign on the basis of Evans un-
worthiness, and to his attacks were due
the most sensational incidents of the
stunning tour of the state recently COM
pleted.
The returns, as far as reported In dis
patches to the State to 80 a. m. show
that Earle has proven a strong compet-
itor of Evans and has made surprising
gains. He carried Tillman's polling
place and Tillmans county. Edgefield.
to l, and swept counties hitherto who'll
ly under the influence of the senator.
At this hour 1t looks as If second pri-
mary might be required, Q majority be-
ing necessary to nominate.
w. III. Ellerbe, who unsuccessfuly
competed with Evans for the governor
snip in 1894, is nominated for governor
by a large majority ovor Harrison and
Whitman, his competitors.
The contests for other state officers
were wholly between members of the
Tillman faction. M. b. McSweeney Is
nominated for 1iaIltepEut pOyernor Tho
other contested places are In doubt.
The outlook is that all the present
democratic congressman will be renom-
mated. Elliott, golG democrat, in the
Seventh, or Charleston district, unseated
by the present house. is returned without
onnoSition.
