THE NEWS FROM SENECA.
Local Happenings and Incidents Plenty Of
Politics and Bad Weather.

Seneca, February 21.--The weather
fiend has had about all he could stand
under of late. In fact, it is generally
understood that there's plenty doing
without having to 80 much as ask, "But
what about this weather."
Notwithstanding the inclement wea-
ther, divine services have been regularly
conducted in our churches, with fairly
good congregations. There will be SER
vices as usual next Sabbath i'm the Ban.
tist and Methodist churches in the morn.
ing and in the evening at the Baptist.
On Wednesday afternoon there will be
a social gathering of the young people of
the Presbyterian church and Sunday
school at the apartments of the pastors
family at the Keowee Hotel. This will
give an opportunity for getting ac-
quainted with this charming family, and
there will doubtless be a delightful time
afforded to all.
Master Ted Dickson has issued large
number of invitations to party this
afternoon at his home here. While the
cards do not 80 much as hint the fact,
still it is suspected that the occasion
celebrates the natal day of this popular
little man, and there will be hearty good
wishes for "many happy returns from
the scores of happy young hearts who
will be there.
1t is regretted by her many friends that
Mrs. o. f. Bacon is confined to her room
by sickness. The library is therefore
closed to-day.
Among the new books at the library is
Thos. Dickson's "Claussman," which is
conceded by those who have read it to
be his strongest work. Another of the
new books which cannot fail to be popu.
lar with our people is Miss Sloan's book,
tfNhn GnrNlinianS - 70 -,
native of Charleston.
Arrangements are being made by some
of the ardent members of the Library
Association to give an entertainment
with the coming of spring for the benefit
of this popular institution. A delight
ful and charming comedy has beon
selected and will be presented by mem
bers of onr best local talent.
On Wednesday afternoon the members
of Andrew Pickens Chapter ID. A. r. are
invited to meet with the friends of this
chapter at Clemson at the residence of
Mrs. p. III. Nell Misses May and Mary
Cherry, Mrs. Warren Davis and Mrs. G.
V. McCarey will be the representatives
from Seneca.
Chas. Lane delivered two lectures here
in the school house last week, Friday and
"Talk and Takers and "Stories Not
Found in Books" respectively. 1t is
needless to say that both were greatly en-.
joyed and that the inimitable speaker
will draw large crowd should he ever
return to our town.
Miss Nellie Brown is visiting her sister,
Mrs. Stokes Stribling.
There has been the usual lull in bust
ness since the new year. This gives
and other matters. The two elections,
school tax and the town election, take an
added interest as the dates approach.
This being the case, our citizens have
about all they can do, and therefore the
Fifteenth Amendment" interests are
quiet for the present.
Mrs. M. r. Kirkpatrick and Miss Ethel
Kirkpatrick arrived last week and are
quartered at the Keowee Hotel until the
pie are receiynga a warm welcome from
our citizens.
John V. Striblipg spent last Sunday
and Monday with friends here.
1t may be true that some of our citi-
zens aro ignorant of the fact that the
following law obtains in South Carolina,
and for the sake of those interested we
ask the publication of the same:
"CRIMINAL CODE na02i SECTION ii557

ten feet of auy road which shall be laid
out, altered or amended by authority of

diotion." NV. s.
