Old MAIDS CONVENTION
SCORES A BIG HIT AND TIE
OLD BACHELORS.
Startling Effects of the Eemodelo-
scope The Entertainment
Success Financially.
(Reported for The Record.)


(Reported for The Record.)
The "Old Maids Convention, :,
rendered by local talent Friday night
last, scored a big hit and also most
of the old bachelors of kingstree.
One of the latter, it is said, expressed
himself as "having malice afore-
thought" of impending danger and
bied him away the first of the week
to return only after having un-
doubted assurance that the Soon
vention" had adjourned.
The meeting was called to order
BY the president and at the roll-call
by the secretary each member re-
spouded with a quotation on man.
A number of choice and appropriate
songs were sung in the convention,
which had most happy and pleas
ing effect.
A paper on "Woman's Rights"
was read BY Sophia Stuckupp and
there was also all entertaining debate
between Belinda Bluegrass and Re-
becca Sharpe as to whether the So
ciety should adopt the dress reform.
Ali of the ''old maids" acquitted
themselves admirably and some of
the original "hits" on the local bach
elors and widowers were immense.
Just US the convention was about
to adjourn Prof Makeover appeared
with his "remodeloscope", by which
the old maids could be transformed
into charming and youthful maidens.
1t is needless to say the professor
did Gland Office" business. Each
one could be made into whatever she
liked. One chose to be fairy, an
other an angel. These were repre-
sented by Katie Stackley and Ruby
Thorn, who were indeed fairy-like
and angelic. Another longed to be
man; she WIS represented by Mas
ter Sam Stackley, who made a tvpi
cal little gentleman. Three Others
chose to be elocutionists. These
were personated by Miss Maud Lo-
gan, who recited "Aux Italiens"
MisssEtta Jacobs, who recited "Eliz-
aberh Zane ut the Defense of Fort
Henry" and Miss Carrie Askins, who
effectively rendered "The One-Legg-
gcd Goose. These young ladies
charmed the audience aud elected
liberal applause.
Another spinster chose to be a
married lady. Mrs Ramsbottom
took this part and read dainty lit
tie selection entitled, "Six Love Let
ters".
/ Another wished to be "Swect Six
teen. She was repl eseated by Miss
Blanche Montgomery in a very be-
coming debutante's costume. Two
others asked to be vocalists. These
were represented by Miss Eloise
Cooper, who sang, Saint that dread
ful?", and Miss Virgie Walker, who
favored the audience with CATER
wards. These selections were pleas
ing and effective.
One ancient damsel who wished to
be rejuvenated broke the machine,
whereupon all those who had not
had their turn chased the professor
off the stage.
This closed the performance, af
ter which refreshments were served
by the ladies.
The entertainment was gotten up
by Miss Mabel Harper for the ben
eft of the Baptist parsonage. Miss
Harper deserves great credit for the
success of the "Convention," from
which something over $95 was
realized.

Another one of these bills, which
were in pairs, provided that mer'
chants and shop-keepers be permit
ted to sell "medicines already pre-
pared according to the United States
Pharmacopeia". Notice that. Un-
der such a law merchants could not
sell proprietary and patent medicines.
I hey could sell only such medicines
as were prepared according to that
book. The country merchant could
not keep Simmons Liver Regulator,
TUFTS Pills, Syrup of Figs and all
the long list Of patent and proprie-
tary medicines that are sold all over
the land and are many of them re-
garded as household necessities. The
Senate stabbed this bill to the heart
and the House put it to sleep. in q
committee room.
DR. D G Scott came up from
Kingstree Thurday in the interest of
the project to bond Kingstree for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to build o school house.
Duplicate bills were prepared proyid-
ing fer an election in Kingstree on
the question of "bonds" or "no
bonds" and providing also that in
case the election should result in
favor of the bonds, then bonds to an
amount not exceeding $4,000 bearing
not more than 5 per cent interest,
redeemable in twenty years, should
be issued and then foated and the
proceeds used in building school
house. Senator Williams introduced
one of these bills in the Senate and
Mr. Bass put the other in the House.
Mr. Bass gained day by calling his
bill up out of order Saturday and
putting it through the second read
ing. A day counts at this end of
the session. 1t is hoped that we
will be able to "railroad" it through
by Thursday and then all will be
well.
The bill imposing a tax of so cents
on each dog. has passed the house.
The ours need not get scared though.
The Senate chloroforms many bill
that receives sanction of the other
end of the capitol:
Darlington is to have a new court
house. The bill has gone through.
The bill providing for an eques-
'trian statue of Hampton has passed
the House and been read the second
time in the Senate. This practically
means that it will become law.
The House refused any appropria-
ton for completing the State house,
The Senate put a quietus on the
bill declaring forfeiture of the in
terest and rs per cent of the princi-
pal in case of usury.
The Aull bill providing for n chief
State constable and seven assistants
has passed the House and two read
ings in the Senate, and will most
probably become law.
The Railroad commissioners have
ordered that Ileinemann, in Will
liamsburg county, be made u flag
station. This will be quite u con-
venience to the people of that Sec
ton.
The Lanham $50 pound baggage
bill is now in the Senate having run
the gauntlet of the House. By the
way, it may not be generally known
that Mr. Lanham is brother of the
Governor of Texas. Such is the
case. At Governor Lanham's inau-
guration on January 18th onr State
flag waved over his head. South
Carolinians govern their own State
and other States too.

esting fight of the entire session was

given bv the News and Courier last
Sunday. l consider that this fight
was won largely by the able speech
of your representative, Hon W L
Bass. An outsider would have
thought that the bill would be killed
and the Evening Record here stated
Saturday evening that it had been
killed, although the tilibustering
fight was still Oh and lasted for
several hours.
1t was with some trouble that Mr.
tBass secured the floor. After sue
ceeding he gave everything in detail.
He mapped out the, geographical
position and surroundings of George
town; he described Winyah bay; he
mentioned the body of water that
stretches a length of five miles from
the city and how this water is
obstructed with the nets of fisher
men, thus making it an impossi-
bility for shad to so up any stream.

then he mentioned the streams that
are affected from the seabGrl to the
mountains, convincing the majority
that the whole Of South Carolina Is
affected thereby
The members ,of the Georgetown
delegation seemed paralyzed that
Mr. Bass appeared to know more
concerning the geography of their
country than they themselves know.
He cited section after section of law
and decisions of the U. s. Supreme
court in several States to show that
this bill was constitutional and
ought to pass for the benefit of the
citizens of the whole State, the in
terest of the Georgetown people to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
As soon as Mr. Bass finished the
"lilibustering" began and when the
friends of the bill saw the intention
they resolved to stay there till II
o'clock Saturday night or win the
fight
do not believe in waiting till a
man is dead to say something good
about him. / want to say here and
now that Mr. Bass is a useful mem-
here and should be kept in this
position.
Your Williamsburg delegation is a
good one. One great thing in their
favor is that they they work together
in harmony.

Following is "a synopsis of Mr.
Bass argument as reported by the
Columbia correspondent of the News
and Courier. This, Of course, is
merely an outline:
Mr. Bass spoke from personal
authority and creditable authorities.
He gave picture of the waters that

contended that this peculiar condi-
ton gave the fishermen of George.
town the power to destroy all the
fish that might get into the tributary
rivers. Mr. Bass seemed unusually
familiar with the topography of the
Pee-Dee section.
He admitted that this bill would
seriously affect the fishing industry
in Georgetown, but that county had
no right to all the shad of the section.
Mr. Bass and Mr. Pyatt differed
materially as to whether Georgetown
was or was not at the head of Win
yah Bay. Mr. Bass insisted that
Georgetown was four or five miles
down Winyah Bay.
! He insisted that such bill would
not be unconstitutional. In the
State VS. Higgins the State Supreme
Court held that fish was game and
must be so considered. There is nc
decision in this State, but there is an

He felt that this was just retributjon
for his heartless cruelty toward little

Great was his surprise to learn that.

erty had fallen to John, who had left
his service few days previous.
Sitting on his front porch, with head
bowed in abject, hopeless despond.

AS his anger subsidized his mood

wandered to the village churchyard,
where lay four of his loved ones.
Martha was The only child left to him,

honor and her happiness. A choking
sensation came into his throat and
the hot tears coursed down his aged
cheeks as he remembered that he had
no longer home to which he could
ever again welcome her.
His eyes rested upon the unfinished
letter; he picked it up and read:

There years ago lived three sisters Of

her sisters, with her head under her
arm. She upbraided them with their
neglected promise and, placing the
head on the table. disappeared In the
morning the head was still there and
on the coffin being dug up the body
was found to be headless. Any at
tempt to remove the head was fol-
lowed by disturbances during the
night. 1t was even buried at a dis

stored by the ghost. Eventually the
head disappeared, but the disturb
