The PrOlraCted Meeting.

The special meeting now
going on in the Methodist church
is steadily increasing in interest
The congregations are very
good, being composed not only
of Methodists, but members of the
other churches as we'll. Rev.
E. E. Erwin has rendered valu.
able assistance and the Pastor
will be joined by Rev Peter
Stokes of Trinity NJ. E. church,
Charleston, on Wednesday.
Many feel and believe that the
meeting will result in great
good. One ground for this
feeling is the interest being
taken by the members of other
churches. "Behold how good
and pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity! n Il
for there the Lord commanded
the blessing, even life forever
more"
Day, 10 o'clock; night, 8:3O
All are cordially invited.

The Fourth In KiDgStree.

The Glorious Fourth was an
extremely quiet day in Kingstree
and really had somewhat the
appearance of Sunday.
Nearly all the white people
were out to the different picnics
in the surrounding country and
nearly all the negroes came to
town to big picnic OF theirs at
"the hall" The banks and dispen-
sary were closed of course. The
stores we're open but did no buis-
ness to amount to any thing. In
the afternoon the streets were
thronged with dark-town dudes,
dudenes and dusky damsels,
but they had just about as much
money as the proverbial church
mouse and their purchases
amounted to about the same.
Whether they were celebrating
the day George Washington ''per-
skivered" America or "Thaye-
dore Rosiefelt" created the
world out of Crumbs amounted
to little with them-they were
doing Broadway up brown.

Before Judge Wallace.

AS the result of a lively scrap
between two colored women near
Indiantown a few days ago Mag
gle Brockinton was arraigned
before Judge Wallace last Tues
day morning on a charge of as
sault and battery of high and
aggravated nature. The evil
dence at the trial showed con.
clusively that Maggie had lam
basted one Charlotte Gamble in
a merciless manner. Maggie
was bound over to court.

Another Letter From GfeelyViile.

GREELYvILLE, July 7.-After the
old time. honored Fourth, with its
animating influences it causes one
to think Am l one of the true
progenies of those grand old soldiers
and statesmen and dear old mothers,
who stood firm and faithfully with
gun in hand to win home and free
dom?
Oh, the shifting scenes since their
days almost cause one to blush with
shame. Nevertheless l am very
proud that l live, and / will add, in
our nice little town, Greelyville.
You can apply the old saying if you
like, "Every frog Will praise his
own pond" But we have many ad-
vantages along the trucking and
stock raising lines to develop. I
hope soon to see us rivaling our Lake
City, or l should have said, Rut-
ledge county friends, for it is a fact
they are able to keep house and they
know 1t, and why should they not
60 and let us profit by their indom-
liable push and energy?
I'll return to the Fourth as it was
with us. Your writer enjoyed a
fine picnic at Goodwill chulch.
After dinner the Rev Kirton and
the superintendent invited Mr. j W
Kennedy to address the school. 1t
was real treat to hear him. He
surely worked up a lot of enthusiasm
in those kind. hearted folks, and can
look fer good results along educa
tional lines.
Well, we have a little of the fruit
of local option around here. Now
please do not think | am complain
ing as it came from the Gov. local
option institution-ha, haas the
newspapers used to style the State
dispensary the Great Moral Institu-
ton at Columbia. l suppose those
who patronize it say that it is better
on account of the elasticity of it,
for it beats the boys bantam hen
which he set on goose eggs spread
ing, for if it continues it will soon
be running in stream from many
stills, and not necessary to be har-
messed by tiger-and him blind.
Let us hope for better times.
] will now offer to tip my hat to
you for this time and ask our friends
to vhoop Mr. Stoll for solicitor.
Possibly we will have candidate
for the House from our town. Watch
the papers. We will expect the can
didates to visit us. Please say to
them if they contemplate coming by
public road they had better see the
supervisor, if convenient. But 1t is
perfectly safe by railroad, and they
will find a generous crowd at the
depot to extend them hearty well
come. So come around and see us.
We will show you our natural flow
ing wells and fine trucking lands.

PRAISE SINGING
OF SPANISH BEAUTY

OF the singing of Senorita Sher-
mana, who appears here with her
all-star vaudeville company Friday
and Saturday, the Mobile Item says:
The Item is pleased to acknowledge
a visit from Senorita Paulita Sher-
mana, the accomplished Spanish sin
ger, who has been for the last few
days one of the principal attractions
that has drawn music-loving public
to the cool theatre at Monroe Park,
and it was with regret to learn of
her early departure from our city on
Saturday. While the senorita has
been at great disadvantage at the
summer theatre, as she would be at
any theatre of the same character,
where not great deal of attention
is given to the perfection of accous-
tics, she has been greatly appreciated
and enthusiastically received by the
audiences each night, and it is also
noticeable that a great many Cuban
and Mexican inhabitants have been
constant attendants at the perform
ances. where they obtained the unus-
ual pleasure of hearing the songs rem
dered in their own languages. The
charming actress answered encores

Senorita Shermana's voice is a
deep contralto of great volume, which
carried It's tones far beyond the con-
fines of the house. The lady is OF a
pure Castilian type, attaining that coll
oring of face which is so seldom found
here. Though the general audience
was unable to comprehend the words
of her songs, her eyes and gestures
furnish almost complete translation.
This being her very first appearance
on American soil, and she having had
no experience whatever in the use OF
the American language, her render
ings were necessarily all in the Span
ish language, and her acting and
dancing bore distinctly Spanish
