A GREAT DAY

One Of the. Largest Crowds Columbia
Has Ever Seen Will be Here
Some of the Attractions.

bumped. One of the greatest frs
Monday crowds Columbia has evel
seen will be here. That is the
prediction of everybody. and it is certain
that they will come. apd for this reason
there are so many things to bring them
In the first place, the new County
Court. That august and honorable
body will hold its first term. and OF
course, everybody is anxious to take a
look at the new solons. and see what
indications they are going to give
toward bearing out the belief of the
friends of the redistricting bill cutting
the old court half in two, that a smaller
court will be of more benefit to the
county, less expensive, and less cum
bersome in any number of ways.
Then again. the new court house
question will also come up, which is
sure to prove very interesting fea-
ture. No move has been made in the
last three or four months by the court
house committee toward erecting the
newcourt house, as things got into
such tangle it was deemed best to
wait and see what the new court was
going to do. There is no doubt that
an effort will be made by few mem
bers of the court to cut down the 500,
coo appropriation. Several of them
have stated that they would certainly
be heard from on this movement.
Another interesting feature in regard
to the meeting of the court, and which
will help to augment the crowd, will
be the grand stand play of Mt. Pleas
ant, in planking down 800, 900 in cool,
glittering cash, as bid for the re-
moval of the court house to that out
of-thew way place. A great many people
have never seen 800, 900 in lump.
and the county court room is sure to
be packed next Monday with persons
eager to get glimpse at the sight
OF late, nothing has been heard of the
Mt. Pleasant proposition-even that
valiant champion of the phosphate
city, the Mt. Pleasant Chronicle, hav
ing been absolutely without single |
line about it for several weeks-and it |
is feared that after all, the great star |
play which the Chronicle so indus |
trially advertised for several weeks, |
will fail to come off. This fear has |
been strengthened in the past few days |
by the fact that quite a number of Mt. |
citizens who were prominent |
in the court house removal proposition |
have invested heavily in some choice
town lots out in Oklahoma, evidently |
that better investment than
trying to get Maury's court house re-
moved to their town. 1t is a question
with them now as to which was the
greatest disappointment, as both, it
seems, have turned out to be fakes.
Still another thing that will bring
hem in next Monday will be politics.
The political pot has begun to boil and
rom now on things are going to be
lively. The senatorial situation will

after will probably be the overshadow

And lastly, it will be big mule ,

neezed at. And besides. it will be

Brown, of EweIl Farm, writes

rated stations, John r. Gentry, 2:001a,
