the Salem High School entertained in
honor of the high school football team,
at the East Salem school building. The
halls had been artistically decorated
with evergreens, and everywhere the
eolors of the High School, interviewer
with the national colors were in evi.
dence. The four large pillars in the
main hall were each decorated in the
different class eolors, the sophomores
juniors, freshman and High School col
ors. 1t was generally conceded that
the sophomore's pillar was the most
artistic, however, the others were very
pretty.
Games Of all kinds were indulged in,
and punch and waters were served. The
following literary and musical program
was rendered:
Vocal solo, Miss Chrissie Clark.
Address, Prof. Powers.

THE IMMIGRANTS.
Five Will Settle In This Part Off
The State.

Columbia, Sept. Io-Five immi-
grants from the rugged hills of Scot
land, the sunny climes of the West
Indies and the sub-tropical plains of
the Transvaal have arrived in the
city and were given work out in the
state by Mr.. E. J. Watson, commits
sioner of immigration.
The three Beers are we'll educated,
have been in this country some time
and can read English huently. Their
names are P. A., G. v, and J. H. Jou-
bert and they are relatives of Gen.
Piet Joubert, the famous general of
Kruger's army. These interesting i'm
migrants were located on a farm in
Sumter county near Mayesville.
The immigrant from West Indies
is w. H. Wuister, formerly assistant
United States consul at Curacao. He
is an experienced accountant and
goes to Aiken county where he will
be at work in the truck gardens
which supply some OF the large ho-
tells.
The two Scotchmen, who will be
followed by II others shortly, are
James Smith and James Kirk Of Glas-
COW. They paid their own fare to
this country, leaving Scotland on the
18TH of August and arriving here yes
terday. They came through New
York. parting there with 1000 of
their countrymen who had emigrated
to this country. The two Scots will
be located on a farm near Ninety
Six.

publishers and by Emmett himself.
So overwhelming was the proof that
Werlein, who had been imposed upon
BY a pretended author, came forward
and publicly recognized Emmett's
claim to the original authorship.
Emmett was born near Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, in 1S45. He entered the army
at the age OF u years as tter, and
served full enlistment. Here he
had thorough instruction in lnstru-
mental music, which he afterward
continued under Edward Kendall,
who had charge of Spalding & Rog-
er's circus band. He wrote the words
and music of many songs that were
published and Of hundreds that were
not published. He was fine sing
er and an expert player on the fife
and violin. In the large collection OF
manuscript that he had left is much
additional evidence to sustain his title
to the authorship of "Dixie. To
present this, as occasion may seem to
demand. will be the pleasure OF the
friends of the modest and venerable
Buckeye minstrel who was recently
laid to rest while hearts were touched
bv the strains OF music that had
brought the sleeper an immortality of
fame.

ST. PIERRE AS IT is TODAY.
Site of City Destroyed by Mont Pelee
Still Barren Desert.
Providence Journal.

Providence Journal.
Capt. Raye, of the barkentine Ste
phen C. Ward. OF New York. which
has been undergoing repairs at the
East Providence dry dock recently,
came to this port from Fort De
France. Martinique. While there he
went in a small boat to the site Of
the city OF St. Pierre, which was
wiped out OF existence in a few mo-
ments by an eruption of Mont Pelee
on May i. 1902 Capt. Raye had been
St. Pierre a number of times when
the place was one of the most pros
porous ports of the West Indies, but
this was the first time he had seen
the devastation wrought during the
greatest disaster of modern times.
Capt Raye was very willing to de-
scribe the scenes which he had wit
messed when a Journal reporter call
ed on him in his cabin on board his
barkentine. He said:
THE city of St. Pierre was located
at the base of Mont Pelee, which is
volcano. 1t had no harbor, and the
steamers and vessels which used to
call there anchored just off the city.
1t used to do large business in rum
and molasses. and when | was there
before the eruption it was as pic
turesque a port as there was in the
West Indies. All of the houses were
of stone, and it looked like settle
ment made to order, tucked away as
it was between the bases OF two
mountains whose sides wer~ covered
with green foliage.
When I was there a short while
ago there was not trace OF the 3o,-
900 people who once lived there eS-
cept a few human bones which were
whitening in the sun. The stone
buildings are all razed to the ground,
and the only signs of vegetation are
few weeds which are struggling to
the sunlight through heaps Sot de-
bris. There is absolutely no one
living there now except a mounted
policeman, who is there to prevent
the search of the ruins for large sums
of money supposed to buried in them.
The great loss of life must have
been caused by the intense heat, tor
l found large glass tumblers in eel
lars which were melted together, and
some of them were twisted out OF
shape. Down the side of Pelee there
is a path about fifty feet wide. which
looks exactly like an excellent con-
crete walk, as viewed from the sea,
which is what remains of the river
Of lava which flowed down from the
crater to the sea. This is to one
side OF the city.
almost all OF the steamers which
90 from New York to the West In
dies during the winter with eNcur-
sionists stop there and the passen-
gers 60 ashore to see the place,
which once had a thriving export
trade but which now is as bare and
h,--er os desert +"

charges Jerry Campbell. Dirickson Will

Jarvis was taken to the home of John

City, ON Monday highland St Martin S

them were over two hundred and fifty
children. Very effective was the
Jacobs ladder at these services. 1t was
beautifully decorated and around it
were several hundred packages for the
children. also candies. oranges and
apples. The dream of Jacob was ex-
planned by Rev. Mr. CAN'T. and he was
very earnest in telling the children that
religion was uprightness, brightness and
full of blessings. Most heartily did the
children enter into the services.
The Rector and his family were large
ly pounded during Christmas. and he
would for himself and all his family
give this public expression of most great
full and sincere thanks.
There will be service at st. Martins
Brick Church on Sunday. at 3p. IN.

65V PEOPLE PERISH
IN CHICAGO FIRE.
An Awful Scene of Death,
Bodies of Victims Piled
One Upon the Other.
An Electric Wire
the Cause.

By actual count of the coroner 637
persons were killed in fire panic at the
new Iroquois Theatre. Chicago. about
3. 80 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The panic. one of the most awful
which ever occurred in a theatre, started
while the second act of the play, "Mr
Bluebeard." was being produced. 1t
was the first dramatic production in the
new building since its erection.
The cause of the fire, it is believed.
was the grounding of an electric wire
which suddenly broke near the lower
part of piece of drop scenery.
AS the fire spread toward the front of
the stage the chorous girls fled in terror.
Eddie" Foy, chief comedian of the
company, ordered the asbestos curtain
lowered, but it stuck when halfway
down. Had it fully descended. the fire
would probably have been checked. As
it was, fiue was created. which made
the flames furious and drew them out TO-
ward the main body of the theatre.
In the frightful moments which fol-
lowed people persisted by the score.
To add to the horror, the gas reservoirs
exploded, lifCing the ent ire roof from
the walls.
In the mad rush for the doors women
and children were the chief victim.
Some of the killed were burn to
death, many were suffocated by gas and
scores were trampled in the terrified
plunge for the exits. About 1900 per-
sons were at the matinee, more than
half of whom had their mirthful en-
joyment suddenly ended in death.
Around the exits and fire escapes the
killed were piled l2 deep. The battal-
ion firemen and other rescuers who
rushed to the scene were forced to tears
of agony as they looked upon the mass
of victims.
Will J. Davis. manager of the theatre
said that had the people remained in
their seats not life would have been
lost. The firemen dispute this.
Mayor Harrison has set to-day for a
day of mourning. The whole world
is sympathizing with the stricken city.
