THE CONCERT AND DRILL.
The Entertainment Was a Success in
Every Way.

The concert by the Second Regiment
Band and the Prize Drill by the Sum
ter Light Infantry last night furnish
ed very pleasant evenings entertain
ment. The band played some of its
choicest music and it was thoroughly
enjoyed by all present. Miss D. Lee
Hutcheson with her usual grace played
two numbers on the violin, being ac-
companied on the piano by Miss
Edmunds This was perhaps, the best
part OF the program. Mrs. Willie
Bultman next contributed to the even
ing's pleasure with a vocal solo.
Then came the prize drill and the
S. L. I. never did such good work
before on the stage competing for a
prize. Fifteen men entered the drill.
Finally, the number was cut down to
three and they drilled for the first,
second, and third prizes. The prizes
were won by the following gentlemen ::
First: Sergt. Robert Sanders; Sec
ond: Private Rarvin; Third: Corporal
Gallagher.
The first prize was a $40 gold piece,
the second IS gold piece, and the
third $3.50 gold piece. In addition
to the first prize, Mr.. Ernest Bultman
donated handsome gold-headed cane
to be given to the man winning the
first prize, so Sergt. Sanders received
two prizes. The judges were Capt.
Glenn, of Columbia, and Major Frank
Wilson, of this city. Major Wilson
presented the prizes and made brief
but stirring talk about our citizen
soldiery.
There was good audience out last
night and the Opera House was very
comfortable.

O'Clock. The following programme
was observed:
Song Of Priase.
Prayer, Thanksgiving.
Song, Conservation.
Remarks by the pastor, Rev. ". A.

and hour.

ers and failures that these be buried

"One night my brothers baby was ta-

of Crittenden, Ky. 1T seemed it would
stranele before we could get doctor, so
we gave it DR. Kings New Discovery,
which gave quick relief and permanently
cured it. We always kept in the house

CLIFTON JAMES KILLED.
Another Fatality at the Depot Yards.

Clifton James, negro loafer around
the railroad yards, was run over and
instantly killed by the shifting engine
about o'clock last Wednesday. 1t
appears from what can be learned that
James had no business about the
engine. He ran and jumped on the
moving engine and losing his balance
fell under the wheels. His head was
terribly crushed and he died at once.
This mans fate should be a warning
TO all loafers around the railroad
yards.
Coroner Flowers held an inquest that
afternoon over the bodyss All the evi-
dence given showed that James had no
business around the engine and that
he had been warned to keep away from
it several times. The jury of inquest,
of which Mr.. L. l. Parrott was fore
man, returned a verdict to the effect
that the said Clifton James came to
his death through gross carelessness
on his own part, and that no blame
could be attached to the Atlantic Coast
Line R. R. Co., on account of his
death.

Gen. Bell Adopts Stern Measures
Every Soldier is in the
Field.

. Manila, Jan. 5.-Gen. J. Franklin
Bell is conducting a vigorous CAM
paign in Batangas province. Every
available soldier is in the field. The
columns under the command of Coils.
Wint and Doughtrey are doing excel
lent work and driving the Filipinos
in all directions. A number of the
latter are fleeing to Taaybas province
where the native constabulary are rem
dering valuable assistance in capturing
men and rifles.
The advocates of peace at Manila
deprecate the stern measures employed
by Gen. Bell. In reply Gen. Bell
says that the peace advocates have
had numerous opportunities to use
their influence, as they have been
given passes through the American
lines almost for the asking and that it
has been afterwards proved that they
often went through the lines only for
the purpose of assisting the insured
ton. General Bell says that the best
peace method now is a vigorous war
fare until the insurrection is COM
pletely subdued.
The arrest Of members of the wealthy
Lopez family and the confscation of
their steamers and rice, as we'll as the
arrest of three members of the religi-
Gus corporations who were known to be
instigators of the insurrection, has
had an excellent effect upon the ma
tives.
Conditions in the island of Samar
are still unsatisfactory, owing to the
difficulty of finding the insurgents.
Capt. Schoeffel, of the Ninth infant
ry, who was wounded in severe
hand to hand fight last month in Sa-
mar island between IS men of COM
pany E of his REGIMENT and large
force of bolomen, has practically re-
covered from the effects of his wound.
In an official report of the encounter
in which Capt. Schoefel was hurt, it
is said that Schoefel killed three men
before he received his wound and that
the remnants of the detachment of s
men with him were saved by his per-
sonal courage. The civil authorities
say that the island of Leyte is now
perfectly peaceful. On the other hand,
the military authorities consider Leyte
to be dangerous on account Of its
proximity to Samar, if for no other
reason.
Capt. Pitcher reports that he is
rapidly ridding the isalnd of Mindoro
of insurgents.
The constabulary of Tarlac, Luzon,
have captured a number of members Of
the Filipino secret society called the
"Guardia de Honor. -
The prisoners intended moving to
the island of Polio, off the east coast
of Luzon, where they expected to be
free of American interference. tempo
rarily at least, and where they had
decided to resist American invasion
to the uttermost. Twenty members
of the society are charged with sedi
tiop.

Mayors Court.

Messrs. r. l. Manning, Hemphill
Pate and Harry Pate were arraign-
ed before the Mayor yesterday morning
on the charge of disturbing the peace
by fighting in one of the stores OF the
Masonic Temple, Liberty Street, on
January End. They were arrested at
the time by Officers Weeks and Smith
and a bond of SO each was required
for their appearance for trial in the
MAYORS court. The trial was set for
the 4th instant, but on that day Mr..
L. D. Jennings, attorney for the
Pates, called at the Clerks office be-
fore the hour set for trial and stated
that the case had been compromised
and that the Mayor had consented that
it be dismissed. He stated in expia-
nation, however, that the offer Of COM
promise had not proceeded from MS
clients and that he was ready to go to
trial. The bonds were refunded, and
the docket marked dismissed with
out trial.
It was subsequently decided to take
up the case and the trial was set for 10
O'Clock. All of the defendants appear
ed. Mr.. Jennings, in behalf of the
Messrs Pate, demanded trial by jury
and the drawing was proceeding when
Mr.. Manning arrived and stated that
he did not desire jury trial, but was
willing that the Mayor should hear
the case, so far as it concerned him.
Nj. Manning was permitted to make
a statement which he submitted IN
writing as follows:
.sSome days ago as the business
manager of the Masonic Temple As
sociation I considered it my duty TO
remove certain property belonging 30
Mr.. Pate from the building of the As
sociation. In doing so I came in con-
tact with the Messrs. Pate. They
made remarks that were insulting. |
resented them and blows passed. |
was therefore technically an infractor
of the peace and l stand ready to pay
such fine as you may deem proper to
impose.
At Mr.. Manning's suggestion the
charge against the other defendants
was dismissed.
Nj. Jennings asked, by request of
the Messrs. Pate, that the Mayor I'M
pose only nominal fine on Mr.. Man
The Mayor imposed a fine of So on
Mr.. Manning.
