ITALIAN
AMBASSADOR
WAS A DISTINGUISHED VIST.
TOR IN THE CITY LAST
WEDNESDAY.

Signor Edwardo Mayor Des Plan
ches, Italian Ambassador to the Uni
ted States, visited Greenville last
Wednesday being desirous to in
quire into the conditions surrounding
Italian labor in this section.
The Ambassador was met at the
train by officials OF the Government
fleet, the mayor and several pronii-
nent planters of the vicinity
Capt Hider, of the ieet, placed a
steamer at the disposal os the party,
and Signor Des Planches, acconpan-
led by Messrs. Leroy Percy. .. B.
Crittenden, Capt Hider, Major G, M.
Helm, Capt. w. w. Stone and others
left at once for Sunnyside1 plantation
the property of Messrs. .Crittenden and
Percy, which is worked almost entire
ly by Italian labor, colony having
been established there by the late Ans
tin Corbin, former owner Of the place
The Ambassador expressed him
self as being much pleased with the
contented and prosperous condition of
the Italians on this place, where they,
have their own school church and
pastor, and are not only satisfied
themselves, but have proved to be sat
isfactory and efficient workers.
The party retqrhcu to GreenVille at
nightfall, and reception was held hy

presented to him. About 8 p. m a

TO
THE PUBLIC
LEADER AND OFFICERS OF
cOLoRED KINGS DAUGH-
TIERS SAY THINGS.

Since diverse reports have been cir
culated by an intruder (not a Kings
son) and an unscrupulous mercenary.
degratory to our laudab!e efforts
to succor and care for our INDECENT
sick and helpless, we, the under
signed, take it our duty to explain
the facts in the case to the concerned
generous public.
AS the Union CIRCLE controls and
receives all communications from
subordinate circles, the leader of Cir
Gle No. I, the late Mrs. Alice Viii
liams, being too sick and disabled to
look after the Home, placed the
same under the care of Mrs. Sam
Rains, leader of said Union Circle
This occurred during the month of
June, 1904, since which time we have
been looking after the Home, but did
not receive one cent from the city
or county until March of the present
year, at which time we received $500
from the city and $I5.oO from the
county. Finding that the house in
which the Home was domiciled was
too small and inconvenient, we put
forth efforts to move it to new quar-
ters, thus providing better accommo-
dation for the sick, with regard to
cleanliness, pure air and quiet.
We desire to provide an operating
room and wards for pay patients, of
any physician that may feel dis
posed to help the effort
We sincerely hope for every de-
gree of sympathy, along this line,
that we may thus be enabled to hire
a trained nurse in the Home. 1t must
be fully understood we are not work
ing for gain nor for any physicians
here or elsewhere.
Every dollar and everything fur
mshed is used for which it is donated.
We have rented for $I4.oo per month,
large and roomy house. We shall
be pleased to have our Honorable
Mayor, Councilmen, city physicians
and others call and inspect the new
Home. Any suggestions tha may be

make for the success of the cause
will be highly appreciated.

Mr. Jesse Oldham, real estate agent
listed this week ten new plantations
and formed eastern connections to aid
him i'll unloading some of the valuable
property he now has on hand. It is
true he does not sell piece of pro-
perty every day in the week, but SO
far he has averaged sale for nearly
every week he has been in the busi-
ness in this city. If you have "a piece
of property for sale give him your op-
ton and if he does not sell it you will
at least have the satisfaction of know
ing that he tried bard to sell it, for
he is a hustler in the real estate line

FINE EXHIBITION.
The Stempel Fire Extinguisher
Proves a Wonder in Putting ont
Fires.

On Wednesday afternoon pub
lie exhibition OF the efficiency of the
Stenlpel fire extinguisher was made
which fully supported every claim
made by the introducers of the ap-
paratus.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon large
nunbcr OF citizens assembled al the
place appointed, where a building had
been erected, composed OF pine boxes,
hlled with excelsior, paper and other
inflanable materials. Upon this was
poured five gallons Of coal oil, and at
a signal from Captain Duncan this
pile was set on fire.
4 committee, composed Of gentle
men whose names appear below,stood
with watches in hand to time the ex-
pertinent. A strong wind was blow
ing, and in a few minutes a vigorous
fire was in full blast. It seemed TN
reasonable that the small and simple
looking extinguisher could have any
effect upon it. and expressions OF
doubt were freely ocered.
AS soon as Captain Duncan put the
little machine to work the betting
changed, and before minute had
passed all odds were against the FIRE
with no takers. In the surprising
time of one minute and thirty seconds
there was hardly a vestige left OF
what had been a very promising con
lagration. The excelsior and paper
had burned, but the boxs themselves
were merely scorched, and were in as
good condition as when the FIRE was
lighted. The crowd, which Included
many OF the most substantial citizens
Of Greenville, was enthusiastic, and
with reason.
It was really an extraordinary proof
Of the efficiency of the Stenpef ma
chine, and fully justified the record
it has already made for itself, and the
award to it OF first prize by the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition

Of the apparatus afterward drew III

Washington county-to engrave on
tablets of stone as they are already
engraved on the feshly tablets of our
hearts, the names of these precious
dead. We can no longer neglect the
dear ones who went out to that fierce
but unequal struggle, and who gave
their lives for our homes.
Let us erect monument to these
heroes of Washington county; mon
ment on massive foundato.1s deep
and broad and strong. piercing the
topmost skies. 1t would then typify
their lofty sense of honorand duty
No token of affection can be too
profuse; no mark of respect too en-
phatic; no rendition of honor too con-
spicuous, no tribute too imposing for
those "Uncrowned kings of Southern
hearts"
So long ago has it been since this
dreadful war has closed that the
youngest of US who remember these
trying times has gained some new
wrinkle, the oldest some added gray
hair Many of those who do remem-
Der did no fight the battles. Their
sex forbade the giving of their lives.
They gave more, they gave that what
was even dearer-their happiness. A
few years more, and only few tot
tering 6gures will represent the
marching files of that grand army. A
year or two beyond that, and there
will futter by the armchair the last
empty sleeve.
So, while yet we are here, let us
tell the story of these brave deeds
of valor to all who will listen. We
