 ter of which swung a mischieyons winged cupid. The game of the evening was Progressive Cupids. 7" There were twentg-six lheart shaped cards to each table. TH elve con tained the names of the authors of the quotations and on the two re- maining cards were artis ideally sketched a cdpid and a spinning wheel. The players progressed who held the lucky cupid card at the close of game. Those who had not been so fortunate as to have the spinning wheel drawn from their hands was doomed to be spihsters and bachelors, and the way this card was summed added much to the merriment Of the game. A pleasing feature of the evening was the cho0s- of valpntines. These were suspended on r0se-c0lOred ribbon across the Crapery between the folding doors. The young men were handed, one at a time, a giided bow and arrow and each aimed a swift flying dart at the dainty target that pleased hin most. The maiden whose name was writ ten on the other side became the partner of the one who held her val entinp. while the delicious refresh mengs were being served. Even in tie Luncheon the prevailing love con. ceit was carried out Everything being heart shaped, except the cream which represented "the messenger of Venus, 1.-the white dove bearing on an olive branch two tiny golden and silver hearts linked together.

F ENT INTERFERES = Owing to L the Lenton season, which is draw ing neaI, there will doubtless be very few society events until after Easter. 1t has been a custom here tofore to observe the penitential season, and as a result many homes are closed and the walls darkened so far as society is sconcerRed. From the gay events and elaborate affairs for Che past several weeks, things have quieted down in the social world to a few home weddings and unpreten- tious functions. The change has been attributed to numerous causes, prin- cipally la grippe and unfavorable weather. The week Just past was Of a more lively nature than the one that preceded it, and consequently we have more to note.

IF you want to uproot this evil and
kill the snake, 90 kin the Tolberts, but
don't abuse the poor, innocent black
wretches," sold the senator in an OUT
burst.
THE Yankees" said Senator Tlliman,
"are watching us closely, and the eyes
OF the whole world ere now on the race
problem in tho South. They will take
advantage Of everything of this kind 20
abuse the South. You are just playing
into the Yankees hands. They are want-
ing to cut down our representation In
Congress- because of our new election
laws but otherwise there is little bet
der feeling now between the two sections.
This sort OF thing, If continued, will
arouse bad feeling.
why, just look at that Jewett woman
coming down here and taking away the
niger postmasters family" continued the
senator. "She comes from Boston, the
head and center of all devllment. The
Yankees are ready to take up any such
deviltry as this whitecapping business. and
you people ought to put stop to it,"
Senator Tlllman then talked largely on
agricultural affairs, denounced the war In
the Philippines and c.osed with some
choice invectives against newspapers.

Raleigh. ~ c.. Aug 16.-A special from
Greenvile n. c., says:
An accident happened here this morn
ing that cost one man his life and gave
four others an almost miraculous escape
For some days workmen have been build
ing a new draw to the county bridge that
spans Tar river here. They tested the
draw this morning, and after closing 1t,
found that the swinging end hung a few
inches too low to rest on the opposite
abUtment.
Capt j. r. Smith, who had charge Of
the work, took four coored hands with
him and went on the swinging part OF the
draw to tighten the iron suspension rods
While doing this. the rods parted, leav-
ing a great strain on the tlmbers which
broke the draw in two. A large section
crashed into the river, twenty-five feet

DROVE THE FILIPINOs.
Hard Fighting in the Island Started
This Morning.

AnAS
Manila, Aug. II, a. m.-The Twelfth
Infantry left Calulet at sunrise to-day
and advanced up the railroad. Capt. Ev-
ans battalion deployed TO the right Of
the track and Capt. Woods to the left.
Two companies remained on the track
with the artillery.
The insurgents were found well en-
trenched in front of the town, the trenches
having been made within a few days and
since the occupation of Calulet. At a dis
tance of 800 yards the Filipinos opened
fire. Their force was estimated by Col
Smith at 1900, although the residents aft
erward said it exceeded these figures by
a thousand.
The enemy sent heavy volleys against
the whole American line Most of their
shooting, as usual, was high, but they
concentrated their heaviest fire down the
track upon the artillery.
Col. Smith kept the whole line moving
rapidly, with frequent rushes. The in
surgents attempted to flank Capt. Evans,
and therefore, two companies were sent
10 the right and drove them back.
Unable to stand our continuous volleys
the Filipinos abandoned the trenches and
retreated through the town northward II
appears that they had only received their
supply of ammunition this morning. Had
they been attacked sooner, they could have
made little resistance.
The intense heat caused much suffering
among the Americans A reporter of the
Manila Times, who was accompanying Col.
Smith, was shot in the head probably fat
ally. one American officer received a
slight wound in the face. Lieut.. Howland
of Gen. Wheaton's staff, who knew the
country thoroughly, as the result of the
reconnoissances, and who assisted in di-
recUng the movement, received a volley
while riding across a field close to the
trenches, but escaped unharmed.

Little Rock, Ark. Aug. 16-Five brutal
assaults by a negro man on white women
have occurred in Little Rock in the past
twerty-four hours. 1t is generally believ-
ed that all the crimes were committed

assailant, but failed to find him.
AT o'clock this morning, a few blocks

Young was assaulted in almost the same
manner. The negro knocked her down
with such force that rib was broken,
causing injuries of a serious nature. He
choked and beat her about the head and
on the side, innicting very serious in
juries. The negro finally seized her purse
and disappeared in the woods. Mrs
Young who is a frail woman, is in a
precarious condition from her wounds and
the shock. Her clothing was torn almost
entirely off in the struggle.
An hour later Mrs. Kennedy was at
tackled at her home near West End Park.

d0zcn blocks from West End Park. She
n escaped from her assailant. City and
county officers together with large num-
Der Of citizens, were by this time scour-

est excitement prevailed, and the anger
ol the citizens in the neighborhoods was
q thoroughly aroused.
The fifth assault occurred early this
morning on a well known young woman
al Twentieth and Cross streets. She was
likewise knocked down and badly beaten.
q Her face was swollen and discolored from
the effect of the blows.
