"lhe Crawford Club"

A very charming session of the
above named club was held at
the residence of Mrs j Il Thomas
son, on Wednesday afternoon,
Jan 18th.
1t was our privilege to be pres
cnt, and We enjoyed the discussion
of "Hamlet," which was the
/ theme for the evening. Mesdam-
es George w Williams, Will
Reed, and G j Henry took lead
ing parts; their papers showed
thought and appreciation of the
master play of the great "Bard
of Avon" The criticisms by
the club were animated and enter
esting.
Mrs Thomasson entertained
very gracefully, and was attired
In n dainty French ten gown of
pink and blue china silk. The
luxurious homo was most inviting,
and beautiful In its appointme ats.
Luncheon was served in the long
dining ball. The table was re-
splendont with cut glass, delicate
china and silver. The centre
piece was large cut-glass bowl
or rose gerunium leaves; and
boutonnieres of these leaves and
sweet violets were at each plate.
The luncheon consisted of three
courses, and was delicious and
lavish.
Toasts were offered at conclus-
ion, some of which wole witty
and amusing.
Visitors were: Misses Floried
DePass Of Camden, Lola Heath
of Charlotte, Julia TAYLOR of
Washington and Mrs j p Hunter
OF Lancaster. +. M. IL.

| kershaw, Jan. 20. The peo.
pie in the vicinity of Flat Rock, a
neighborhood about seven miles
south of Kershaw are becoming
very much ala, med over the recent
burnings in that section. There
have been three alleged iucendiary
fires within radius of three
miIes within the last three weeks.
About three weeks ago, Mr..
Joseph Fletcher's barn was burn
cd with its contents which con-
sisted of several bales of cotton
which was all he made last wear
and which he was holding for
better prices his fodder, cotton
seed and n new buggy. A negro
woman confessed to the crime
ana says she had no motive
whatsoever for her devilish act.
She is now in jill in Camden
awaiting trial.
on last Tuesday night Mr..
Lewis Truesdel had his corn crib
with about $50 bushels of corn
burned. This crib was at least
l5o yards from any dwelling and
therefore must have been set on
fire Intentionally. No clue was
lett as to the criminal.
Again on the following night
Mr. Burrcll Truesdel had his barn
burned with its contents. A negro
boy by the name of Isaac Pea was
suspected of the crime as he and
MIR. Truesdel had had a difficulty
some time before. Upon being
questioned as to his whereabouts at
the time tho fro started, he claim
ed that he was not at home, which
fact his wife substantiated, but
spent the night at neighbours
house. The man whom be claims he
spent the night with denied having
seen Pea for week. Upon such
diversity of statements the negro
Pea was committed to Jail until a
preliminary hearing can be had.
Asa result OF such FREQUENT
hrcs people are natually becoming
greatly alarmed over the situation.
1t seems that the farme,s in
this section are determined to hold
their cotton for better prices. AS
ma evidence of this fact many pco-
pie are removing their cotton from
the warehouses here, carrying it
back home. Some are hauling it
n distance Of Is miles. X. S, G..

Overland Trip OF Two Years.

Versailles. Ky, Nov. 10.-David
Taylor, Madison county farmer,
passed through this city on his way
to his home, after remarkable
drive of several thousand miles in a
buggy, his journey having consum-
ed two years. Mr.. Taylor has nine
children, who are married and living
in Illinois. Missouri, Kansas. Arkan-
sas and Texas. When, in the summer
of 1908, he made up his mind to pay
each of his children a visit, he de
cided that in view of 'the danger of
railroad wrecks" he would drive
through the country, instead of trust
ing himself to transportation by
trains. He has completed his long
drive without accident, having paid
each child visit of six weeks or
two months, and says he feels strong
er than when he started from home
He made the trip alone, driving stea-
dily during the daytime and staying
over night wherever he found a COM
Portable stopping place. Mr.. Taylor
Is about 20 years old and has grand
children and great grandchildren.
