hands, and at the same time in his
Office. Deputy Moore and his assis-
tants were rushed collecting the
county's taxes, and when one disin-
terested, who stood off and watched
the ease with which he dispatches
his duties in both positions, he saw
in Sheriff Crouch as able an officer
as any the State possessed filing this
office.
Since his election into office, Mr..
Crouch has closely watched the ex-
pense of the court, and with Circuit
Clerk Gildart, did his whole duty to
bring down this expense to the mini
mum, while on the other hand, he
has pushed the collection of taxes
until the delinquent tax LIST has been
cut down below three-quarters of
the counties of the State In a con-
versation with him Mr.. Crouch said
few days ago tIis.r even with a
short crop the delinquent tax list
this year would be no longer than
the one of last year
With such a record behind him
Sheriff Crouch, we believe, could be
elected to fill any office to which he
should aspire in the county, and as
long as we are editor of The Times
he can, count on the efforts Of the
paper in his behalf

Editor Times:
Having been asked by quite a
number of the young men of Green
vile concerning the new clnb, "Thr
Rendezvous, which has recently
been organized, l wish you would in
sert this letter
During the past summer Mr.. Dieh1
conceived the idea of organizing a
club for the young men, place for
them to meet, read, play pool or bill
lizards or anything else that might
appeal to them, with the hope that
it could be made so attractive and
interesting that it would keep them
from frequenting all sorts of ques-
tionab1e resorts.
A meeting waS held during the
summer at the home of Hon. E. n.
Thomas and plans were discussed.
but the time being considered in
aaspicious it was decided to post
pone further action until fall
On Tuesday night, Jan. end. a
we'll attended meeting was held in
the Armory and it was decided by
all present to go ahead with the club
and each and every one presem
pledged himself too do his utmost in
pushing it along to success. It was
decided that the rooms formerly oc-
cupied by the Greenville Athletic
Club should be used temporarily until
more commodious and better quart
ers could be secured. 1t was also de-
cided that an iniation fee of FIVE dol
lars and two dollars month dues,
should be charged.
The club has now opened in the
Armory thoroughly equipped and
up to date roller skating rink for the
club members and the general pub
! lie. A small admission fee is to be
charged and the money made from
the rink is to be spent in fixing and
furnishing up the club rooms.
The shower and tub baths are to
be renovated and improved ano
along with towels are to be free to
members. There will be reading
room with all the best periodicals
and papers of the day; pool and
billiard table; writing room a room
for chess, checkers, etc, and the
large hall, after the skating season
Is over, will be used for all sorts Of
indoor sports, slch as base ball
basket ball, hand ball, punching bas
etc.
The chief aim of the club Is th'
development. physical mental an'
spiritual. of It's members Drink
ling, gambling and rowdyism are Gu

aught at once recognized the place
and said the mediums description is
perfect. When asked if she would go
to the place and find the money, Mrs.
Vaught replied that she would go az
soon as the roads were in a better
condition, the place where the money
is supposed to be buried being out
in the country
Since Titles powers have become
known she has had a great many to
call on her and ask question, among
the questioners being Mr.. Cox, the
half brother of Mr.. Horton who
was killed recently at Dunlieth.
After stating how he was killed,
etc. she said the murderer was in
the city of Memphis
In conversation with the little me-
dunn, she told us that her powers
as mediua were first discovered
when she was but four years old,
while living in the country She
said that her father was a medium
and during his life forbade her to
exercise. the remarkable power. She
is now thirteen years of age. For a
colored child she IS exceedingly
bright. answers all questions intel
ligently and is very confident that
her reported conversations with de-
parted spirits are true
II what she has said and told in
the seances come true, there being
some things disclosed not yet ready
for publication, Tillie will prove her
self not only one of the most re-
markable discoveries of the present
generation. but God-send as well
to many. The outcome of her sean
ces are awaited with feverish anx-
iety by those who are directly inter
sted.

Tile, little colored girl, IS no
being talked about by ali Greenvill
who have heard of her remarkable
powers as spiritualist medium. She
has been in the city only few
months, coming here from the coun-
try near Fall Back, Miss, in Bolivar
county. From a slow working negro
gress about the house, hardly worth
her keeping, she has become a pro-
minent figure in sensation9I~eve events,
and will, if her powers Stand the
supreme test, become one Of the
most remarkable personages in the
State or South
How she came into notice was in
this way Being employed by Mrs.
Vaught as a house girl on Kinds
street, and while she and the cook
were sitting in the kitchen, she re-
marked to the cook that there were
spirits in the room. IF the cook saw
them she did not recognize them, for
she hurriedly made her exist out of
the back door, at the same timecall-
ing at the top Of her voice for Mrs.
Vaught.
When Mrs. Vaught got to the
kitchen she asked what was the mat
ter and the old cook out in the
yard told her that the little girl was
crazy for she claimed she saw "sper-
its in de kitchin' Mrs. Vaught then
asked Tillie what she meant and she
replied that it was true; she did see
them and saw them just as plainly
as she could see her mistress.
Mrs. Vaught laughed, for not be-
lieving in spirits. it did not frighten
or worry her in he least. But she de-
cded to try Tillie and carrying her
to her room.- she had her call UP the
spirits of the departed she desired
to converse with, and for over ar
hour the little coon medium carried
on a regular seance. Her statements
about persons and scenes which oc-
Cured before she was born were
true and surprised all in the house
and question after question were pui
to her which she answered readily
The little medium told Mrs
