Magistrate Caskey's beautiful

Magistrate Caskey's beautiful
contenance has been wreathed jn
smiles all this week. He was
overwhelmed with Winthrop Col,
leSe callers Monday and yesterday
he had three of the loveliest of
IabernacIe's fair daughters call
at the tenn pie of justice. 1t would
have been almost impossible for
him to have imposed a heavy
sentence on Il cuIprit either Mon
day or yesterday.
1t was Il sore disappointment
that the excursion train to the
Sam Jones lecture at Rock Hill
was SO far behind time. MANY
gave out going altogether but
about IS boarded the train and
went anyway though the lecture
was about over when they reached
Rock Hill. They got to hear the
lnlnitable Sam talk for about 20
minutes and to enjoy several
hearty laughs which somewhat
aIayed their rutfled spirits. In
the party which went over from
here were about thirty Of Taber-
nacIe's good citizens who had
come twelve miles by private con-
veyance and were determined not
to he outdone. The next time
the 5 & & G Extension runs an
excursion to one of Sam Jones'
lectures it will probably know to
send out an engine that can pull
crowd.

Improvement where the town Of

1t was also decided to open no
