great drawing card on Lyceum

The press speaks highly Of this
company.
Alpha, Ill.-The musical enter
tainment given by the Peterson Sis
ters Concert company, at the opera
house was one Of unusual merit. The
various numbers on the prorgam
were given with a brilliancy and ar
tistic skill that charmed the audience.
The soprano has an unusually sweet
and clear voice and her singing was
enthusiastically applauded. NJ. Elo-
uise Peterson also proved herself an
artist on the violin. In fact, we have
heard nothing but words of praise
for the evenings entertainment.

The Wemen Of Smyrna.

Editor Herald and .News:-Where
on this beautiful green earth can be
found a better set Of Christian wo-
men than those Of Smyrna e. Their
bright eountenances and smiling ia
ces indicate peace and happiness
such as only that class Of women can
possess.
The old time carelessness has
passed into oblivion and the progress
that is seldom equalled in rural life
is plainly manifested in every hand,
which is made attractive and pleas
ant, so thcs the young people may be
contented and happy.
Once a month these good ladies
have a. social gathering at tae home
of one Of them, where they meet and
discuss topics Of every good and
perfect kind known to a well cult-
waited mind. Such a gathering was
held at Mrs. J. H. Chappell's on last
Friday. Early in the morning Mrs.
Chappell was very busy in the kiteh-
en- preparing nice things for the
Smyrna ladies who she knew were
coming that evening at. 2 o'clock,
while the two Misses Chappell were
busying themselves trying to make
the home look attractive.
Promptly at the appointed hour
the buggies began 10 roll in. The
old man and his two energetic sons
stood ready to take the ladies'
horses. In very short time after
the appointed hour for them to
gather all Of the lower part Of Smyr-
ma community had assembled in the
parlor.
The writer, being much interested
as to what they were going to DO,
gave listening ear and watchful
eye to their proceedings. Miss Mary
Longshore opened her Bible and read
a very instructive chapter. Mrs. Ella
Boozer presided with dignity at the
organ and all joined in a familiar
hymn, and then they discussed the
general business Of the society, and
soon learned that they had paid
the preacher salary, that they had
given to foreign and home missions,
that they had given to the orphan
home and had money left. The live
liest discussion that arose was as to
what to do with the money they had
left. They finally decided to put 1t
in the bank until some charitable
cause presented itself. !
Indeed it was a very interesting
meeting.
Mrs. Chappell then invited them
in the dining room, where she served
them bountifully with nice things,
too many to mention.
All seemed to enjoy the day and l
want to say that these good women
were so good that did not hear one
word Of criticism about anybody or
any thing. They did not even mel
ton how Miss So-and-So was dress
ed last Sunday, or what kind OF

The New President.

It will be interesting, in connec-
ton with the election Of Mrs. Au-
gust Kohn, Of Columbia, to the po-
sition of president Of the South
Carolina division, Of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy, to call
attention to the war services Of her
immediate family.
Mrs. Kohn's selection is perhaps
based largely on her excellent work
for the State division, but in addi-
ton her people saw active service.
She was Miss Irene Goldsmith, of
Charleston, before her marriage and
besides the services Of her father
and grandfather, three Of her uncles
were killed in the Confederate ser
vice-two Goldsmiths. and one Hill
zeim, her mothers brother. Three
Of the Goldsmith brothers enlisted
for service, two died in service and
the third brother is the father Of the
newly-eleeted president of the State
division. On Mrs. Kohn's mother 5
side a brother died from wounds. Un-
cles, by marriage, cousins and col
lateral kin were numerous in the SER
vice Of the Confederacy.
DR.. Elias who confines himself to
facts and no rhetoric in his "His-
tory of the Jews Of South Carolina -
has these references to the Gold
smith brothers in his chapter on the
Confederacy:

ment. Confederate service, with

Difficulty Removed by Changing Of
Name Of S. and W.-Amended
Charter Is Granted.

Columbia, Dec. 4.-The operation
Of trains into Spartanburg over the
line of the new Carolina and Clinch-
field and Ohio Railroad Of South
Carolina tomorrow, the granting OF
the amended charter for the South
and Western Railway by the Secre-
tary Of State to-day, and the ac-
ceptance by the railroad commission
of a tariff for the Carolina, Clinch-
field and Ohio are the latest devel-
opments in the now famous charter
fight for South Cardinals acquisl-
tion Of the big trunk line and coal
bearing system from the Middle
West.
In these announcements are con-
tanned refutations of the rumors
that have gone abroad to. the effect
that with the refusal OF the Supreme
Court to declare the recent Act Of
the Legislature constitutional, the
Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio Road
would be lost to this State. Now
that the traffic arrangements are
complete, there is nothing to hinder
the road from building further into
South Carolina and that the sea
coast is the final goal Of this line is
not doubted by those in touch with
the situation.
Method Of Arrangement.
The Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio
enters South Carolina because. the
name of the South and Western was
changed this morning through the
office Of the Secretary Of State: The
South and Western is comparatively
a. new line. and is. said to be owned
by the same men who control the
Carolina, Clinehfeld and Ohio. The
South and Western has eighteen
miles in this State which, Of course,
is the same mileage as the new Car
olina, Clnehfeld and Ohio will have.
There have been no trains operated
on the South and Western, but
charter was secured last year. 1t IS
customary for Dads on occasion to
secure charters even before the
building Of the road is completed.
This was the case with the South &
Western, which road is now practi-
cally absorbed in this State by the
Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio, this
being the effect of the change in
name.
Attorney W. H. Lyles, Of this city,
who had led in the charter fight IN
the Courts, stated this morning that
trains would be operated over the
line of the c., C. & O. as forecast in
the News and Courier few days ago.
The statement from Mr.. Lyles is au-
thoritative, coming from him as rep
resenting the stockholders and Off
GERS of the company. A few days
ago Attorney James Byrne, of New
York, counsel for the road, made the
announcement that the road would
seek a charter by another route, fol-
lowing the action Of the State Su-
preme Court, and this promise has
been carried out by the road, as is
seen to-day when the arrangements
are perfected for the domesticatlon
Of the line.

Jensen Fights at Gregory Friday.

1t is in Gregory, S. d., and not at
Dallas, that kid" Jensen of Norfolk
will meet Davis, the Rosebud fighter,
next Friday night A story from the
Dallas News has created some con.
fusion in this regard. the fight is one
in which Norfolk ring followers are
intensely interested and will take
place at Gregory Friday.
To get the match Jensen had to
agree to stop Davis in eight rounds.
He will try to carry out the contract
but even Jensen admits that he will
have work ahead. Davis is the man
who gave Jack OLeary, late of Nor
folk, the Knockout in two minutes.
Jensen's friends have no idea that
Jensen will duplicate this performance
and look for the fight to be anything
but a farce.
Jensen is at Burke, S. D., training
for the match.

Saving Bank in the School.

Newman Grove, Neb, Jan. 15.-Spe-
cial to The News: The school savings
bank in the Newman Grove schools
is proving a great success. While
the primary idea of the system is to
teach thrift and economy, the little
folks have surprised the board of edu-
cation and the city superintendent by
the amount of money deposited during
the three months in which the expert
ment has been on trial. The idea
seems to be new in this state, as not
another savings bank in connection with
any of the schools of the state, is
known Of at least Mr.. r. H. Gerhart,
the treasurer of the board of educa-
ton, who is the originator of the plan
at this place, says that he wrote to
the state superintendent for informa-
ton but was informed that there was
no such bank in existence in this state
so far as he knew. Professor Gilbert
and his entire corps of teachers ably
assisted in getting the system in
stalled in the schools. At the regular
meeting of the board of education,
october 5, it was decided to give the
plan a trial and Mr.. Gerhart was in
structed to prepare the necessary
supplies.
The only objection raised at any
time was that it might require such
an amount Of time and labor on the
part of the teachers as to interfere
with the regular school work, but 1t
is found now that the entire time re-
CURED is about ten minutes of each
teachers time once week. Deposits

PLAIN FACTS ON THE ROSEBUD.
Chester Slaughter Tells Chicago Win
ners About Actual Conditions.

Chicago Tribune: Despite the an
nouncement that a matrimonial bureau
has been started in connection with
their organization, members of the
Rosebud association were none too
enthusiastic over their prize winning
when a meeting in Kings restaurant
adjourned yesterday afternoon.
Chester Slaughter of Dallas. S. D.,
was invited to explain conditions in
the promised land" in Trip county,
and when he finished talking some
of the Chicago prize winners would
have disposed of their holdings for a
song, and others plainly indicated
they would make no attempt to prove
up their claims.
His talk was rude shock to the
old and young, married and single,
good looking, and Indifferent men and
women assembled in the dining room,
but all came away feeling satisfied
that he brought information that
could not have been gathered in any
other way 1t followed the reading
of several letters from bachelors seek
ing wives to help share their burdens
in the unsettled country. The letters
had put the gathering in a good hui
NOR, and, although they seemed to be
taken lightly several young women
were seen to take notes, and Vice
President j. |. Carroll said they would
be referred to the matrimonial bu.
reau.

fall into bed of roses out there" be-
gan Mr.. Slaughter Conditions there

"In Chicago when you want a bath
all that is necessary is to turn on the

on that bath you can go to some pool
and skim off the moss and other stuff,
chase the water snakes away and
plunge in. But out there one doesn't
need to take a bath often.
