PREPARATORY ExER cIsEs.
tuesday Afternoons Program at Kemper
Hall.


Armitage Hall presented a very
pretty appearance Tuesday afternoon,
its mantle banked with pink honey
sucklesI and vases of lilies of the valley
and lilacs in different parts of the room
gave it an especially pretty and dainty
appearance. But perhaps prettiest of
all were the little children all clad in
dainty white who marched in from the
west door to a march played by Miss
Butler.
The first number on the program was
the Japanese lullaby of DeKoven's,
sung by the primary chorus. The
words of the song being that pretty lit
tie poem of Eugene Fields, Sleep,
Little Pigeon, and Fold, Young
Wings" The little ones deserve a
great deal of praise for the way in
which this was rendered, as we'll as for
the other little choruses which appear
ed in different parts of the program.
Miss Anna Helena Thompson's
theme, entitled, " How Dorothy Spoke
Her First Piece, " was original and very
true to life.
One of the best numbers on the pro-
gram was the French dialogue, " LIE
Chat La Vieille souris ct la June" by
the primary class. This was carried
on with great deal of vivaciry and
their little gestures all seemed to come
in so naturally. That the audience
showed their full appreciation of this
number, it is needless to say. The two
themes, A Woodpecker's Soliloquy, "
and " The Apple Trees FALL" we're
very prettily told.
Another number quite worthy of
mention were the two themes, "One
Picture and Another" and "And
Speech Followed" The first theme
took the two characters, Evangeline
and PRISCILLA" who were both very
graphically described; and the follow
ing theme told Of an imaginary conYer-
sation between these two characters.
Suffice it to say the audience needed to
use very little imagination to see it all.
We cannot close without making
mention of Longfellow's poem, "The
Blind Girl of Castel Cuelle," by Miss
Florence Neff. That Miss Neff pos
sessed great deal of ability as an elo-
cutionist could not be doubted by those
who heard her. There was so much
life and gladness in her voice in her
description of the merry wedding scene;
and SO much pathos and wretchedness
in the different parts where the blind
girl spoke.
The last number was a sort of a little
opera in itself and very we'll rendered
and enjoyed by all.

that State since his eight year.
He was born in Monroe county,
Georgia, On the 26th of October,

Senator George obtained his
education in the common schools
and did not begin his professional

Homicide in WaXhaw.

On last Thursday afternoon
the usual peace and good order
of WaXhaw was broken by
homicide on the principal street
of the town. The facts, so fas as
we have been able to learn them,
are as follows:
Alonzo Jones, a colored boy.
about sixteen years old, was pass
ing Messrs G Broom & Sons store
when Judge Arthur, another col
ored boy, aged about twenty years,
who was sitting in front of the
store asked Jones if he (Jones)
could trot. Jones replied that he
could trot but that he did not
wish to do SO. Arthur then arose
and told Jones that he had to trot
and advanced toward him. Jones
walked off across the street and
was followed by Arthur, who
picked up Il stick, hit him and
kicked him and commanded him
to trot. Jones walked on and
Arthur advanced on him again,
this time, some witnesses testify,
with a knife. Jones then pulled
pistol and shot Arthur in the
breast. The wounded man walk
ed a few steps and fell dead.
Jones was arrested and had a
preliminary hearing before Mayor
j + Mccain, of Waxhaw, and
Esquire Henry McWhorter. Jones
is now in Jail here awaiting trial
at the next term of Superior
ourt.-Monroe Enquirer.

loplnS maStln goes strait To ms
cover.
If Senator McLaurin has had
any winter of discomfort in this
campaign, it has been made glor-
inus summer by the sun of York.
Nor will the house of Lancaster
fail to imitateFthe spirit of the
house of York. His is now the
red and the white rose of united
counties.
So it will be when he reaches
classic Camden with its rich
memories of war and peace. He
will prevail with the people.
Junius predicts for Senator
McLaurin an unobstructed march
to victory when he passes through
the precincts of The Wateree and
the Pee Dee.
McGregor will soon be on his
native hcath-his special heath /
mean-because Senator McLau-
rim has all South Carolina for his
heath. His victory has already
been won. His true manliness,
his selfrestraint, his vindication of
his views, his argument which he
! shows, as at Yorkville, that he
feels in the imperial purple of his
blood-thcse have won for him
the peoples sympathies and the
peoples votes. The primary will
crown him.
In vain will the eX Senator Irbv,
laid, as he says he was, in the sun
and hatched by an eagle, seek to
make McI.aurin his quarry. i The
eagle has already been laid in the
shade, with his wings broken and
his plumage disorder ed.
In vain will the ex-governor,
who holds on, like grim death, to
the ghostly toga of Calhoun, seek
to snatch McLaurin's sceptre
from his hand.
llium fulfil there ever was
an Ilium for such governorship
Ms he illustrated-may even now
he seen upon his falling flag.
If Junius were to advise one in
Senator McLaurin's place, he
would counsel him to brush aside
the charges and accusations of his
antagonists; to assume the aggres-
slve and to address himself mainly
to the minds and hearts of the as
sembled people in his argument
on the real issues involved.
Let him continue to show that
he of all the candidates best rep
resents the highest thought and
sentiment of the State; that he is
for virile craftsmanship and q
grand industrial plan of State and
southern development of our farms
and mines and workshops of our
commerce, agriculture and manu-
factures-the Doric pillars of
State.
Let him do this, and continue
to show himself worthy of being
the representative in the senate of
the United States of a State that
seeks to be the peer of any other
State in the Union-and he will
be returned in honor, to the place
assigned to him when, in Gods
providence, it was made vacant
by Earle's lamented death. So
be it pro bono publico.

Since our last analysis of the

The meeting at Newberry was
as quiet as n midsummer's dream.
MIR Duncan reappeared in his role
of occasional candidate. He bore
''his faculties meek Although
he confronted the ex governor,
whom he 80 fiercely denounced in
the last campaign, yet what he
had to say was more critical of
Senator McLaurin than of his
former object of attack. With

close Of business to-day. He mas not yet
made any plans for changes OF any kind'
preferring first to thoroughly grasp the
present condition of affairs pertaining 10

He stated to your correspondent IN tnis
connection, that under the civil service
regulations he doubted his authority 10
make any material changes in the present
force of the department under his charge,
but IL he could. he would most certainly
renlace Democrats with capable RepuD-
Iicans. He denied the correctness OF
the rlimor that he was engaged in an
effort TO have the headquarters OF his de-
partment removed to Alexandria. Per-
sonaMy, he said, he would prefer to go
there. but there was no probability OF
the Offices being moved.
