NEWS FROM SENECA.

SENECA, August 21.-The dread
ful drought and intense heat causes
great apathy among all classes, ex-
cept the society contingent, whose
enthusiasm for gayety remains una
bated. This, however, is attributa-
bic to the number of visiting young
ladies who hayo favored Seneca with
their presence this season.
Last week chronicled merry
round, beginning with an eloquent
entertainment given by Miss Clara
Livingston in honor Of her guests,
Misses Lee, Of Abbeville, and Yates,
of Greenville. Moonlight rides, pic
MICS and hops followed each other
in rapid succession.
The reunion of Orr's Regiment
and campaign meeting brought
fifteen hundred or two thousand
people to town last Wednesday. In
spite of tho intense heat the crowd
appeared to enjoy themselves.
a large congregation enjoyed an
eloquent sermon from Rev. w. S.
llamiter at the Presbyterian church
last Sabbath, and also had the plea
sure OF hearing Miss Mooty, of Co.
lumbus, Ga, a gifted vocalist, rem
der most equisitely two solos, "The
Lord OF Hosts" and s"The Beautiful
City" Both selections brought out
to full perfection the beautiful voice
and fine training Of this gifted young
lady.
1t is rumored that work on the
Seneca Electric Power Plant will
commence at an early date. This
will be an important move for our
town, as several smaller enterprises
will follow this development.
Mrs Aletheia l.. Gaillard, the
mother Of Mrs. j. w. Stribling, died
in Anderson last Sunday afternoon.
Mrs.. Gaillard has spent much of her
time in Seneca in the past four or
five years, and her gentle, loveablc
nature won for her many friends.
She had reached ripe old age and
goes down to her grave honorcd and
revercd by all who knew her. Mr..
and Mrs. Stribling and Miss Mary
Cherry attended her burial on Mon
day.
a great gloom is spread over our
merchants and farmers by the terri
bic drought and intense heat. The
crops in this section are greatly in
iurcd. The last few days have been
most disastrous.
Mr.. w. III. Moorc's brick store, in
the eastern part Of town, is nearing
completion. Several other brick
buildings are projected for this
ncighborhood, 80 says rumor.
