This from 1.-THE Edgefield Is. CO
Chronicle: ''The most brilliant and
eclatante euchre party that Edgefield
has perhaps ever seen was that Of
Thursday evening last, when Mrs. j.
Berrien West entertained many very
fashionable and stylish people in COM
pliment to her guests-themselves ex-
ceptionally handsome, fashionable and
stylish-Mrs. David Lot, of Atlanta,
and Mrs. Frank E. Barrett, of Angus

ic features was an iridescant dream
In it's good cheer. however, and it's
practical tangible hospitality, it was a
night such as Nero and Poppaea might
have given just before the burning of
Rome. Mrs. Lot and Mrs. Barrett
charmed all corners, all lockers, all
listeners. They were Chrysothemis and
Aspasia. Our dear old heaven tinged
friend, Jack Ochs, of Augusta, was
there, and scared aloft on gorgeous
wing, bearing the whole god1y COM

ing on a charge of contempt, in that
he refused to answer questions put to
him as to his connection with the as

This is an interesting case in con-
nection with Territorial Judge Gears
recent decision that only for an in
famous crime can man be confined
in Oahu prison. According to Judge
Gears ruling it is wrong for Adachi
to be held in the prison, and even if
found guilty the prison is not a proper
place for such a prisoner.
