The Williams Comedy Company
which is to occupy the stage at the
Institute, beginning tomorr ow evening
for three nights has a splendid reputa-
tion. The press accounts are very favor
able, and we hope the patronage will
encourage similar entertainers to come
here. The opportunity is given 10 have
three evenings of amusement. and the
price of admission is not eXorbitant.
Let the Institute hall be packed to-
morrow evening, and if the perform
apce warrants it, the next evening
will have another filed hall. This
company played in many Of the larger
towns, and has always drawn good
houses, which would not be the case If
their performances were not satisfac-
torv, and we feel sure if the Williams
Comedy Company can give satisfaction
in Rock Hill, Greenville, Spartanburg,
the Meaningless will also be pleased.
The meeting for meu only last Sun
day afternoon in the Institute hall Twas
well attended. The choir was com
posed of Messrs J. L. Wells, ]. 81.

was true, perhaps in one or two IN
stances a little overdrawn, but take it
all in all it wasa clean, practical, ad-

have knowledge OF and give heed to-.
His subject was "The Giant Evlls"-

tiousness, and treated chastely, fer
vanity and earnestly.
By an overland grape vine route the
news reaches US that Gen. John Barley

tangled in a controversy last Saturday
night in Summerton. and the areu-
ment was of a cutting nature. The
authorities are Investigating the affair.
The State authorities have a force of
constables looking after the Illicit
traffic of whiskey, but if reports be
true, tney have not succeeded stopping
the traffic little bit in the Summerton
section. In a majority Of the small
towns. the cook shops, barber shops,
and small grocery and fruit shops, can
be counted on for this illegal traffic
and which is very frequently the
source from whence cutting and shoot
ing scrapes come. This bind tiger
business is not alone in the Summer
ton section, there is some Of it in Man
ming also. but the kind here is princl-
pally of the hip-pocket sort. Our
town authorities are wide awake to
watch out for these things but occas-
siopally the police are eluded and the
law is violated.
