LOCAL MATTERS ABOUT SENECA
The "NIedicine Men" Meet---Civic and
Other local Notes.

Seneca, Feb. Especial: On next
Friday evening, at the home of DR..
T.. A. Hines, there will be an import
ant meeting of the Seneca Library
Association at 8 o'clock. A program
Of music, interspersed with literary
talks, Is being prepared, and the pub
lie is invited to be present. If there
is one thing in Seneca which should
appeal to her citizens more than any
thing else, next to our churches, 1t Is
possibly our library. In rank with
our churches it's influence for good
would undoubtedly come next. While
we find it hard to decide whether the
library or Civic Association should
hold second race, If indeed decis-
ion is necessary, particularly when
we are reminded upon good author
ity that Cleanliness Is next to God
liness," still we are inclined toward
the opinion that we should foster
library as being the thing of lasting
and salutary influence, and we there
fore urge a full and enthusiastic
meeting of citizens on next Friday
evening.
Mrs. ]. w. Stribling and Miss Mary
Cherry are at home again, after a
pleasant visit to friends in Spartan
burg and Greenville.
Miss Carrie Hunter spent few
days last week in, Easley with
| friends.
A. Zimmerman and daughter, Miss
Emma Zimmerman, Of Westminster,
spent a few hours here last Sunday.
The regular fifth Sunday commun-
ion service was held in the Episco-
evening there was preaching in the
| Methodist church by the pastor.
The dance given last Tuesday
evening by the Seneca German Club
was a distinctly recherche affair, the
| young men in charge sparing no
pains or expense to make 1t so.
Trowbridge's Orchestra, of Ander-
son, furnished the music, which was
treat in itself, and which was
heartily enjoyed by the spectators as
we'll as by the dancers. The pro-
gram was delightfully."- varied, the
numbers showing the latest and most
popular selections. There were num-
bers of charming bellies from neigh
boring towns, and also goodly num-
ber Of stays. The Seneca boys show
ed most hospitable spirit, giving
way to the visitors, and showing
them every courtesy. There being a
large majority of men, this was the
proper thing to do, and 1t was done
gracefully. This fact also afforded
the young ladies a variety of part
ners, which also added to the spice
of the occasion. The german was
danced, and was easily led by Sen
eca's veteran floor manager, DR.. w.
r. Doyle, who, with the assistance Of
a number Of the fair bellies, intro
duced many beat -iful and intricate
! figures. The hall was attractively
decorated in the club colors and
brilliantly lighted by arc lights
Dancing continued till late hour,
when, at the Introduction Of the sug-
gestive "Home, Sweet Home" by
the orchestra, good night was said
and the dancers dispersed.
| Miss Marie Isbell and Sam Isbell,
Of Walhalla. visited Mr.. and Mrs. J.
n. Herndon last week and attended
the dance.
A new attraction for the young
folks here Is the skating rink, which
will be inaugurated this week. The
concern is promoted by few of the
young men, and the dancing hall will
be used.
Eugene Lewis, Of Greenville, at
tended the meeting Of the stockhold-
ers of the Seneca Cotton Mill last
