Encouraging Indeed!

In O talk with business man Of this
town, one who has made a success, and IS
a keen observer, he made Us feel good with
his expressions of apprec latlon OF Ink
TINES. eHe said, Il regard TIE T1lEs the
best county paper published ID the
State, and that it has done vast amount
of good in development of this town and
county, and as business man l have no
hesitency in saying that town so fortu-
nate as to send out a newspaper with the
magnificent reputation of The TINES, IS
indeed blessed; regardless of what may
trauspire in the future, there is no combl-
nation that can come into the field to af-
feet THE TINES. Continuing this gentle
man said There is a determination on the
part of few who by nature, would rather
pull down than to build up, and who
through spirit of contemplate jealousy,
want to cripple TIE TINES, but the more
tLey attempt it, the more will they be dis
appointed As business man I would
rather have one good solid, progressive,
intelligently, edited newspaper n town
than a half dozen such as see being pub
llshed elsewhere. 4 poorly con Quoted
newspaper is not credit nor help to q
community but strong, we'll managed
one like The TINES is indispensable.
With people who do not appreciate the
value of good paper cheap rates are al
tractive but with the business man who
advertises. and the intelligent reader who
wants to know what is going on, quality IS
the controlling influence; just rs the mer-
chant has shoddy articles which he sells
cheap, and good substantial, servicable
goods, which cost more, so is also, news
paper rated by business men. Continue
pushing and improving your paper aud as
long as you treat US as fairly as you have
done in the past tie business element, re-
cognizing your ability, and your faithful
service will stand by you, regardless OF

The Theatre.

The Summerton Dramatic Club
treated Manning on last Friday eve
ming to very pleasing dramatic en-
tertainment. The play was on the
melo- drama order of five acts, eDtl-
tied "a White Mountain Boy"
The Moses Levi Memorial Institute
was we'll filed with an appreclatlve
audience. The play was the usual
romantic love story with its VILLAIN
who still pursued her." its heroine
and it's hero, the trusting but cruelty
forsaken wife, the beautiful and be-
witching maiden whose father is
rich. The big-hearted, noble coun-
try lad who saves the life of the rich
mans daughter, and, Of course, falls
in love, which is reciprocated; not,
however, without parental obJec-
tions, which are finally overcome
after the simple-hearted countryman
makes a grand display of herolsm
and reinstates the parent to the
wealth he lost through the machina-
tions of the crafty villain who was
his private secretary and who de-
serted his trusting wife, to entrap
his employers daughter into mar
riage with him. This villain finally.
to get clear of his wife, makes deal
with murderous gang to put her
out of the way, and is followed by
the countryman, who discovers his
villainy, gets the gang to betray the
villain and has him arrested.
The various parts, considering the
lack of stage facilities, were acted
very good indeed. Mr.. Gordon Bel
ser made fine hero, with Miss Rosa
Mood exhibiting much coyness IN the
part of love making which may have
been the result of many rehearsals.
Prof. H. a. G. Walker portrayed the
part of villain well, as also was, his
dude performance. D. 0. Rhame
was q typical mountaineer with
chestnut-burr whiskers accustomed
to the mountain zephyrs signing
through them. Miss Foster, the
trusting wife, was one of those cy-
cloneless women that invariably
wins for her better-half, a hard
hearted, cruel wretch and although
with bruised heart and deserted, re-
mains true and continues to love
blindly; that is on the stage she
was that way. Miss Tisdale was like
the average widow, ready to perform
deeds of mercy, even if a widower
had to be a part of the mission. Mr..
Richardson was the usual indulgent
father solicitous about his daugh-
ter's welfare, but more so for his
money and was ready to sacrifice his
daughter to recover his wealth. Miss
Cooper made typical dive hag and
played her part first class.
Of course we do not pretend to
class this club with professionals, but
there are troupes on the road today
that do not entertain their audiences
as well.
After the performance was over
the crowd went below" as they say
in nautical parlance, where Chef
Inabnit had oysters served, and
which was we'll patronized.

Supervisor Owens Appreciated.
Editor The 'i'IIES:

Thinking that it might be of inter
est to the public to know what the
chaingang is doing take this means
of informing them through the col
umns of your widely circulated pa
per.
Supervisor T. G. Owens appeared
in our neighborhood about three
weeks ago with his band of outlaws
and struck camp near the residence
fof Mr.. D. T. Mahoney. Since that
time this force of county criminals
under the direction of our efficient
Supervisor has performed surprls-
ing amount of work upon the prln-
cipal roads in our section. Low,
swampy places that heretofore have
been almost impassable in wet wealth
er have been ditched and drained,
and the roadbed raised and leveled;
rough and precipitous hillsides have
been graded and filled in. Deep and
narrow cuts in roads where 1t has
been impossible for two vehicles to
pass have been widened and straight
ened out. The embankment across
Sammy Swamp which has always
been a dread to those having occa-
sion to hanl a load across it., has
been widened and raised to the level
of the bridges. The long bridge
across the main stream has been
shortened fifty feet and this gap
filed in with solid earth, thus saving
in the future the expense of keeping
up fifty feet of the bridgeing. The
remaining portion of the bridge has
been strengthened and put in first
class condition with substantial
guard rails. ,,,
It would be difficult to estimate the
value of the splendid work that has
been and is being done here under
the skilful direction of Supervisor
Owens. It is to be regretted that
the force of workers is not larger: II
all of the rascals in this county that
ought to be on the chaingang were
there, it would not be long before
Clarendon county could boast of a
system of roads equal if not supe-
rior to that of any county IN the
State. w. .. D.

Dainty SILK Coats Are In Great
Demand for the Coming
Season.

be little Eton jackets Of daintly-col-
ored taiTeta silks. They will be tailor
built, with stitchings and strapped
seams and coat sleeves, the revers o.

Some will have jeweled buttons and
lace jabots. others win be kept tailorish

A pretty skirt and jacket suit for the
summer is Of white cloth, the skirt be-

A novelty in capes is a broad scarf OF
crepe de chine draped around the shoul-
ders. In some instances it is shaped q
little by yoke, but the simple straight
scarf, three-quarters of yard wide and
long enough to fall TO the knees after it
is lSnotted, is quite as good style.
The popularity of gray for evening
gowns seems TO continue. A gray tulle,
lightly dotted with silver, is made with
a long tunic, heavy about the bottom,
with incrustations of point de Venise,
which is beautifully embroidered with
silver. Short puffed sleeves, ending
half way to the elbows with fall OF

are of tulle; the lower part being GOV.
