ENTERTAINMENTS.
A Brilliant Retention.

An entertainment which ~rivalled in
beauty anything ever given in the city,
was Mrs. Robert McKinney's reception
Friday afternoon to the Young Mar
ried Woman's Club, complimentary to
Mrs. j. w. Howard, of st. Louis. The
home, which has recently been repaired
in handsome style, everywhere bore
evidence of the beautiful taste of the
hostess; her fine taste was also dis
displayed in the floral decorations, those
of the reception room consisting of
numbers of pink roses, while in the
dining room, white roses and carnations
rivalled each other iu beauty and
fragrance. The centre table was con-
sidered to be indeed work of art,
wrought in these flowers of purest
white and delicate green smilaX. Every
where white candles added beauty and
brilliancy.
The guests were received in the hall
by Mrs. Joe Brownlow and Mrs. r. G.
Ewing, who conducted them to the
frappe bowl in the rear, where Misses
Eva James, Marion Cooper and Helen
Rockwell served the refreshing drink.
They next entered the reception room,
where stood Mrs. Mckinney, wearing a
handsome gown of white satin with
trimmings of violets. The honoree,
Mrs. Howard, wore an exquisite cos,
tune of white organdi; other ladies' who
assisted in receiving were Mrs. j. II.
Wilkes, Mrs. Rockwell, Miss Baird, Mrs.
Sam Holding, Mrs. M. M. Cecil, Mrs.
A. B. Rains, Mrs. N. B. Catlett, Mrs. N.
B. Sheppard and Mrs. j. L. Hutton. A
delightful lunch was served in the
dining room throughout the reception
hours.
The opening dance of the Maury Club
at Mt. Pleasant last week was most
delightful social affair. Dr. Pierri's
band from Nashville furnished the
music, while the merry dancers glided
through the graceful steps. The dance
was led by Mr.. Frank Ford. A large
number enjoyed the occasion, the fol,
lowing from Columbia being in at.
tendance: Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Rains,
Misses Annie Williamson, Leigh Whit
thorne, Margaret McEwen, Rebecca
Williamson, Eva James, and Lillian
Smith; Messrs. Fred w. Evans, Fred
Gamble and Granville Coleman.

ten. two presidents Of the United States
were called from earth on July 4, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
John Adams succeeded Washington,
and Thomas Jefferson succeeded John
Adams. To Jefferson is credited the au-
thorship OF the Declaration Of Independ.
ence. Adams and Jefferson, though Of
ten differing on political topics, were
friends to the last and in spite Of the
fact that they lived far apart and were
infirm>at the last kept up their intimacy
by means of correspondence to within a
short time Of their death, which occurred
almost simultaneously in 1926. on the
fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration
whose signing is celebrated on Inde-
pendence day.
On the tomb Of Jefferson at Monticello
he Is described as the author of the Dec
laration, the founder of religious free
dom In Virginia and of the University OF
Virginia, but there Is q curious omission
of the fact that he was twice president
of the United States.

On July 8, "a warm sunshiny morn

the Declaration Of Independence, the first
Fourth Of July celebration took place in

the marine committee, soon after which
we were saluted with discharge Of 13
guns, which was followed by 13 Others
from each Of the armed vessels in the
river; then the galeys followed the fire
and after them the gunboats. Then the
president and the company returned in
the barges to the shore and were saluted
by three cheers from every ship, galley
and boat in the river. The wharfs and
shores were lined with a vast concourse
of people. all shouting and huzzaing.
"At 3 we went to dinner and were
very agreeably entertained with excel

afternoon Samuel Spencer, white
struck Jess Snowden, a colored barber
Bob Snowden. a brother, armed with a
razor found Spencer at Altamont park
and after the quarrel started Snowden
pulled a razor and started to carve
Spencer. Edward Kirk tried to head
Snowden off and got six-inch deep
cut on the left side, which may prove
fatal.
The Snowdens claim the quarrel was
started by union glass workers because
they will not close at o'clock in the
evening. There were suggestions of
lyncbing and Snowden was hustled
into the city and held in default of
$4,000 bond for a hearing.

MasonS To Build a Hall.

At the last regular meeting OF the Ma
sons lodge of this city plans were set
on foot for the erection OF a large Ma
sonic hall to be built some time this
summer. a committee was appointed
to take the matter in charge and look
up site, preference being given for
corner lot at some point in the center of
the city. Nothing definite has yet been
settled on, but it is given ont that the
contemplated building will be the best
in the city. 1t is the desire of the lodge
to make the building with 80 foot
frontage on some good corner. 1t will
be three stories high and the ground
floor will be used for business The two
upper stories will be used for hall room
and for residence flats.
