This building was designed by Mr.. Chart
rand himself, he drawing the plans and

The Flower Show.

The flower show given by the ladies of
Methodist church last Friday afternoon
and evening in the town hall was an ex-
traordinarily successful venture.
The most beautiful exhibits were con-
tributed by Mrs. B. D. Bronson and Mrs.
G. Frank Bamberg. The exquisitely
handsome chrysanthemums grown by
these ladies were unexcelled by any in
the State fair exhibit, and they have
cause to be very proud of their unequalled
success in growing chrysanthemums.
There were also liberal contributions OF
beautiful NUNS by Mrs. J. NJ. Jennings,
Mrs. j. D. Copeland and Mrs. 81. j.
Brabham, Jr.
A nice collection of potted plants,
donated by the ladies and many Of their
Baptist and other friends, together with
great table of homemade candy, com.
pleted the attractions. This table, so
gracefully presided over by Mrs. J. NJ.
Jennings, the popular friend of all the
little children, and the big children as
well, was indeed the center of attrac-
ton. There were all conceivable kinds
of candy and it was very delicious.
After the cut flowers, pot plants, and
candy were all disposed of it was found
that the proceeds of this entertainment
amounted to $4700, very neat sum, for
which the ladies are to be heartily con-
graduated.

The Delineat0r for December.

For colorwork, presswork and general
beauty and usefulness, the December
Delineator is conspicuous among the
Christmas magazines. Eight paintings
by ]. G. 'Leyendecker, illustrating and in.
terpreting the Twenty-third Psalm, is the
most extensive color feature Of the num-
ber, but painting by Alphonse Mucha,
accompanying poem, "The Mother Of
Bartimeus," by Theodosia Garrison, is
fully as notable as an art work. The
short fiction of the number comprises
stories by Hamlin Garland, John Luther
Long, Gilbert Parker and Alice Brown.
The opening chapters of a new serial-a
woman's club story-"The President of
Quex," are given; it is said to be in the
nature of reply to "The Evolution of a
Club Woman" which created much in
terest in the magazine last year. There
is also the continuation of "At Spinster
Farm, PARTICLES on Brass and Copper Uten-
sils in "The Collectors Manual and the
Child at play in "The Rights of the
Child" A series of illustrated papers un-
der the title, "Some Heroines of Shakes
pere-by their Impersonators," also be-
gins in this number with Eleanor Robson
on Juliet. The pastimes for children are
filled with the spirit of the season, and
there is an abundance of matter of house
wifely interest.

Mr.. Garland Robbed.

Mr.. Geo. W. Garland returned home
last Friday from a collecting trip up in
Aiken county, and told US of an exciting
experience he had while away. During
the summer Mr.. Garland travelled that
county, selling books, and recently he
has been collecting. He said that one day
recently he was in lonely piece OF
woods not far from the town of Wagner
when he was approached by two negroes,
one of whom had a gun, and asked if he
had q book to sell. Not suspecting any
thing, he replied that he had and got out
the book. One of the negroes said he
would take it and handed Mr.. Garland q
$50 bill in payment. Mr.. Garland says
he had $72 in-his pocket and he took out
the money to make change, when the
negro with the gun cooked and leveled 1t
at him and demanded his money. Taking
the whole amount from him they quickly
made off through the woods, and that is
the last he has seen of negroes or money:
he attempted to get some clue, but could
not, as he said he was not able to identity
the negroes who robbed him.

meeting last Tuesday evening, with the

A number of routine matters were at
tended to, several bills being ordered paid.
A representative of the Barkoot Carnival
Company appeared before council and
asked for license for their shows to ex-
hibit here next week, but the mayor
promptly declined his request, and all
the aldermen were exactly Of the same
opinion, namely, that no more carnivals
should be allowed to come here. A. w.
Knight, Of the board of public works,
was present and conferred with council
as to the number of street lights the board
had decided on, and the allowance by
council for street lighting purposes. A
resolution was adopted authorizing the
installation of forty lights at an allow
ance of $50 per year each.
It was decided to begin the work OF
claying the streets next Monday, and
notice will be found elsewhere calling for
teams to report next Monday morning.
The ordinance in regard to selling fish
was amended. A license of $500 year
is now charged for selling fish anywhere
in the town, unless it be in store, then
no license is charged.
Considerable complaint had come to
council as to stores being kept open on
Sundays. The matter was discussed, and
the policemen were instructed to see that
all stores and other places of business
were entirely closed on the Sabbath.

Then Cut up His New Buggy.

GAFFSEY, Nov. "A petition is being
circulated in this city this afternoon ask.
ing for signers for the purpose of forward
ing it to the governor of South Carolina
with request that he offer reward for
parties that fired into the house of Wash
Lipscomb, a negro living near Gagney,

BILE, hard working negro. Hethinks that
about q dozen shots were fred through
both sides of his house, i'll an effort it is
said. to draw Wash from the inside: No
one was injured by the shooting. In ad;
dition to shooting with shotguns around
the premises the marauders, by the use OF
axes, knives or some other kind of an in.
strument, cut buggy belonging to the
negro entirely to pieces. The buggy was
