COMPANY OF SINGING GIRLS
Gave High JlaSS Concert Monday
EVENING at School Auditorium.

The College Singing Girls and
Walter Eccles, the first enter
tainment of the lyceum course,
was greeted by a fair-sized
audience at the school audi
torium Monday night. The
eight pretty, golden.volced
young women we're evidently
fresh in the lyceum field, yet
they showed none of the gau-
cherie of beginners, playing
their parts smoothly, with the
skill of of seasoned veterans
and the impressment of youth
and enthusiasm.
The College Girls programme
is varied and elaborate, rang
ing all the way from plantation
melodies to grand opera. The
company is said to be a new
one, out on its first tour, and
the opening performance was
given here Monday evening.
Mr. Walter Eccles, as monolo-
gist and impersonator, was
unusually fine and every number
he presented was enthusiastic
ally received. Mr. Charles Pear
sail, the musical director and
accompanist, showed marvellous
facility in adapting his scores
to the wide variety OF subjects
embraced in the programme.
On the whole, the company is
the strongest lyceum attraction
that has ever been seen here
and Mr. J D Gilland, the enter
priSing manager OF the local
lyceum, is due the thanks of the
community for affording the
people an opportunity to enjoy
such high class talent at home
and at a reasonable price.
While the attendance Monday
evening was fairly good, the
college Girls" really deserved
a better patronage than was
accorded them there.

KINGSTREE GRADED And
HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The KinSStree Graded and
High school opened on the 18th
with the best attendance in the
history of the school. In the
high school department there
are over 80 enrolled, and we
trust this year will be a "record
breaker" long to be remembered.
We have fourteen enrolled in
the tenth grade, which is the
largest in the record of our
school.
We were very glad to have
enter our class Miss Lille McIn-
tosh, of Mouzon. &C., but are
sorry to note that she was taken
i'll the second day Of school,
and has not yet returned. We
hope to have her with US again
soon.
We are glad to have Miss
Emma Cooper, young lady OF
the tenth grade, with US again.
Emma was taken i'll the latter
part of last year, and deserves
credit for being able to go on
with her class mates.
The library was opened Mon
day, and the librarians began
lending out books. We trust it
will be patronized more this
year than last, although the
librarian was kept busy last
term.
The tenth grade held a class
meeting Wednesday of last week
and elected the following
officers tor the ensuing term.
Sam Stackley, president; Vivian
Wheeler, vice president; Blooma
Kennedy, secretary; Tommie
Gilland, treasurer.
We have had quite a number
of visitors this week. On Mon
day, Misses Annie stackley,
Florrie Jacobs and Jimmie
Britton. On Tuesday, Misses
Ada Brockington, Clara Mont
gomery, Lula Brockington,
Mary Swami, Lillian Salters,
of Salters, Annie Jenkins,
of Virginia. We hope they will
continue to come throughout the
entire session.
Miss Estelle Campbell, our
efficient music instructor, and
Miss Alice Beckham, the popular
fifth aud sixth grade teacher,
spent the weekend with rel
ativeS in Florence.
The Wee Nee literary society
will hold its first regular meet
ing in the society hall Friday
afternoon at 4:3O o'clock. We
hope to make this the most
prosperous year in the history
of tine society.
We hope to have a goodly
number of new members. We
shall be glad to have the honor
ary members come more often
than they have in the past.

bevond their expectations

beyond their expectations in
raising money for their new
building. Their plan is a practi-
cal one and if they be in ear

are-it is only a question OF time
when kingstree can boast OF at
least one church building in
keeping with the town.

METHODISTS TO BUILD
new CHURCH.
MOVERENT On FOOT TO ERECT $4,000
STRUCTURE COMMITTEE 4! WORK
SOLICITING FUNDS.

A movement to build a new.
modern house of worship has
taken definite form among the
members of kingstree Metho,
dist church, and to that end a
committee has been appointed
to solicit subscriptions to the
building fund. This committee,
composed of seven members,
has gone actively to work among
the membership of the church.
and the success that has attend
ed their efforts is indeed crafty
ing. 1t is proposed to build
a church to cost about Sl2,OOO
and already, we understand, at
least one half OF that amount
has been pledged.
That this is a most commend
able enterprise on the part OF
the Methodists OF kingstree
goes without saying. The cause
speaks for itself and nothing
that We can say would add to
its wortEiness.
To speak plainly, the COM
paratively sha bby church struc-
lures of our town have long been
a reflection on the Christian
people OF Kingstree. Strangers
coming here are struck with
the contrast between our public
buildings and many elegant
residences and do not under
stand this condition. In fact,
it is d condition that should not
obtain and is therefore hard to
explain.
That there is as large pro
portion of God-fearing, Christian
people in Kingstree as can be
found in any other community
of the same size, We believe to
be beyond question, but the fact
is very evident that their
spirituality has not taken con-
crete form in the building of
handsome houses of worship.
We are glad indeed to see an
effort at least to remove this
reproach from our community.
Observation in other com
munities convinces us that
should the Methodists succeed
in their praiseworthy enterprise
the other denominations vii. in
a short while follow the exam
pie before them and build new
and handsome churches. All It
needs is for one congregation to
show that the project is feasible.
AS a material asset to our town
(While this is the lowest form of
incentive) it would pay every
business man to subscribe liber-
ally to the building fund of any
church editce, regardless of de-
nomination. We hope that the
Methodists will succeed even

This is the first time in the history
Of Georgetown athletics that class foot

There is sentiment at Georgetown
that such contests with other -efass

beneficial athletics, developing many
