Nine. Helen Modjeska upon the oc-
casion testimonial performance at
Keylor Grand tonight, when she will be
seen for the last time here Only one
whose position as an actress is undis-
puted and whose place in the hearts
of the people is unchallenged would
for a moment be considered for such
an honor. Modjeska won her place
as first of English speaking actresses
by talents as varied and pronounced
and by personal attributes as womanly
and endearing as any that ever graceC
a member of her profession.

little pathos in the play, too, and at
times when Orchestra Leader Herbert

The play was full Of much good humor.
But the greatest uproar at the theatre
last night was caused when it was
announced that Guy Swartz was the
winner of the $40 gold piece in the
grand free drawing. But the twenty
plunks looked like lot of easy money
to Guy and he was the coolest of the
lot.

The Churches

The pastor of the Park Street Bap
fist church is going to begin with this
Sunday evening series of illustrated
sermons. 1t is his desire to impress
truth through the eye as we'll as
through the mind. For this purpose
he uses lantern slides and the stere-
onticon. The most of the pictures he
will use are photographs Of famous
works of art, that are intended to
carry a lesson with them. Rev. Mr..
Reayen has used this method in other
places with great success and has ac-
cumulated such store of lantern
slides as few men possess possessing
more than 1900 Of his own and where
there are not what he wants he rents
from dealers in distant cities It is mis-
purpose to use the stereopticon with
his young people and the Ladies Mis-
siOnary society.

Judge Watts's Record.

AT the approaching session of the
General Assembly quite a number of
the judicial elections will be held. The
terms of the following members of the
Bench expire in 1906: Chief Justice
Pope, Judge Dantzler, Judge Watts,
Judge Aldrich, Judge Purdy, Judge
Gage and Judge Klugh. The high re-
cord on the Bench of our townsman,
Judge r. G. Watts, should permit of
not the least apprehension on the part
of his friends as to his reelection
Judge Watts has been reversed fewer
times by the Supreme Court than any
Circuit Judge in the State and has
served the same length OF slime, and in
every way he has proved himself a man
fit for the position. So far as we know,
the other members have done their
duty and are no less able and efficient
~jurists than Judge Watts. -Cheraw

pray and believe and work.
Yours fraternally,

Product of Mills.

The product in one day of the Long
man q Martinez great works is enough
to paint every house and everything
made of wood in a city with the l.. &
M Paint.
In use thirty years; several houses
painted with l.. e. M.
L.. e. M. costs about ST. 20 per gallon.
The l.. & M. is the best and cheap
est, because the l.. & M. Zinc, hardens
the l.. e. M. White Lead, and makes it
paint more surface and wear a longer
time than any other paint.
l.. & M. costs about $1.20 a gallon.
1t only requires a gallons of this cele-
brated and 3 gallons of Linseed Oil at
go cents per gallon to paint a moderate
sized house. Therefore a property
owner ought not pay $1.50 per gallon
for Linseed Oil, which he must do when
a ready-for-use paint is bought.
