DeInaS' Speech.

The New York Sun says OF the
speech of Delmas, the Califor-
MIA lawyer, in his summing up
for Thaw: "He juggled with
metaphor, he played with simile,
he apostrophized, and he hurled
the hyperbole- He SUM m oned
an Rmy of adjectives to his aid,
and of adverbs he was 'un.
afraid." Whether words used
with skill have lost their power
wild probably be known before
this reaches the reader. The
Sun calls it a style of oratory
made popular a good many years
ago in the shadow of Bunker
Hal and which has been trave,-
ing Westward with the course of
empire.

TRUSTEES WILL CALL ELECTION
To Vote on Question Of Bonds Tor
Buildinq School Annex.

A meeting of the citizens OF
Kingstree was held in the court
house Monday evening in re-
sponse to the call of the trus-
tees of school district No. 16 toS
discuss the advisibility OF order
ing an election on the question
OF issuing bonds to bufld an an
mex to the present school build
ing to relieve the over crowded
condition of the class rooms
that now obtains. Mr.. G. w.
Wolfe was elected chairman and
Mr.. G Ollie Epps secretary
MIR. Louis Jacobs, chairman OF
the board, stated the purpose
of the meeting and explained
that under the present law the
trustees had authority to order
an election on this question, but
that they preferred getting the
sentiment of the citizens OF the
town before taking this step.
He also referred to the Lawson
act, whereby the State assists
in providing for the maintenance
of high schools up to $1,000 a
year, provided the school dis
trict will pay two-thirds more
annually than is given by the
State.
Prot. P P Bethea made it very
plain to the meeting that the
present school building is in
adquate for the proper instruc-
ton of the large enrolment OF
pupils. giving the following fig
ures as illustrative:
The session of 1903-04 showed
an enrolment of Isl.
Session of 1904-05, enrolment
2Os.
IS Session of ,06' enrolment
Session of 19O6-07, enrolment
253.
Prof. Bethea stated that seven
children had been refused adj
mittance this session on account
of the overcrowded class-rooms,
and told of many inconvenience
caused by lack of sufficient room
and teaching force. From
forty-three to forty-five pupils
had to be taught in several
class-rooms and one had as ma
ny as sixty-five.
After general discussion of
the subject, Rev. J E Mahaffey
moved that the trustees of
school district No. 16 be re-
quested to order an election in
the said district for the purpose
of ascertaining whether or not
bonds should be issued for the
proposed building and equip
ment, the amount of said bond
issue and date of election to be /,
left to the discretion of the trus-
tees. This motion was carried
unanimously.
On behalf of the trustees The
chairman stated that they would
request several of the lawyers.
of the town to look into the high
school act to determine whether
its provisions would be of any
advantage in the proposed
building.
The meeting was very harmo.
nious throughout and every one
present seemed to have the in
terest of the school at heart.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 1.-Fran-

cate, who came here to live five years

lie speech-one against liquor. The next
three years he was engaged i'll touring
