THE THEATRES
POLI'S

What few remaining performances there are of this weeks splendid bill at Polis will be as largely patronized as the shows throughout the week. There never was a more popular head line. attraction at Polls than the unique comdc-operetta, '"The Naked Iruth'I with Phyllis Rankin, Harry Davenport and 8 chorus of fa;vorites in the cast Wormwood's trained dogs and monkeys delight the children and please the grown-ups. The entire bill is above the average.
 The headline attraction at Polls next week will consist of MT. Emmet Dewey & Company in a twenty-minupc farcfcal fantasy entitled ''In Dream land" MT. Dewey is pleasantly re- nembered by vaudeville patrons be cause of the favorable impression he made unon his appearance here as .sThe Saintly MT. Billings The lat ter offered MT. Dewey, many opportun- 5ties for the exploitation of his partic- ular brand of comedy, but it's merit as an offering would with difficulty stand comparison with his latest vehi- scle.
 "In Dreamland'' is one of the most pretentious offerings now being pre- scented in the vaudeville houses. MT. Devey's company numbers six in it's entirety. and special scenery for the production is carried with the organi- xation. The denouement, of the story of the playlet is accompanied by number of mystifying illusions which are co much out of the ordinary that their creation makes necessary the services of two electricians.

 REPRESENTED AT WOMEN'S MEETING Need of Funds to Garry on'Work Dwelt
 Upon. Dr. W. E. Donaldson Tells How to Get kembers..M,ss Finnegan Tells Shock. ing Tale of Experiences in Her Work

At the Women's Mass Meeting, held vest erday afternoon in the council chamber of City Hall, for the purpose of arousing interest in the formation of an organization to act as aux Hilary to the Fairfield County Anti Tuberculosis society, twenty-two churches were represented. The short addresses by the officers of the Coun- ty organization stimulated the interest of those present. The churches rep resented were: First Baptist, Mem Olivet Congregational, St. Johns s Episcopal, Christ Episcopal, Danish Lutheran, First M. E., Washington Park M. E., Summerfeld M. E., First Presbyterian, Peoples Presbyterian, German Reformed, St. AuguStineS, St. Mary's, Sacred Heart, St. Joseph's, St. Charles, Holy Rosary. Advent Chris tian and the UniversaIist.
 The gathering was opened by PreSi- dent George w. Jacknan of the Coun- ty Association. He told those pres ent that funds were necessary for the procuring of an extra nurse to help Miss Finnegan the present nurse in her work. Mayor Lee thanked the ladies present for braving the excitement weather. He explained the forming a few months ago of the county society and it's present doingS. The war on tuberculosis was an endless task, funds being constantly needed It is tho intention of the society to bui d tSani- torium somewhere in the county and there to care for the many patients. He stated that in Bridgeport to-day there are over 800 patients su 5fering with the dread disease. In 25 years a patient will be isolated as soon as case is reported, as is done with small pox patients. of to-day. Dr. H. w. Pyle gave a history of the combined ef- forts organized against tuberculosis, starting with the. first sanitorium in the state in Wallingford, which was built in 1902, showing that Bridgeport was six years behind her sister city, though her death rate was the great est in the state. Dr. w. H. Donald son of Fairfield spoke upon the organ ization and how to go about getting members. He showed that Bridgeport was away behind the procession, but, he said eff this city still continues to make the progress it has within the last few months. other towns will have a hard time catching up.''
 He had found by experience that the people did not have to become inter ested, as they were already in the state but what they wanted was organiza- tion. He wanted the women pres ent to serve on the committee on mem- bership, and impressed the great ne- cessity for funds. During the course of his remarks Dr. Donaldson paid glowing tribute to the efficient work of Miss Mary Finnegan, the dispensary nurse, without whose assistance the present good work would never have been accomplished. Miss F'innegan then spoke to the meeting as follows:
 Although it is less than two months since the dispensary was opened. we have accomplished some good results. The register shows 36 patients, whose

Holiness Preacher A Suicide.

Abbeville, July 1.-THE Rev Lawrence
Patterson, the "Unknown Tongue"
preacher, who rendered himself famous
recently by shooting at Grover Cleve-
land Fritz, on Cotton Mill Hill, and
afterwards defending himself ip the Cir
cult Court and securing an :cquittal,
broke into the quiet of the cotton mill
village again to-day, by shooting lady
friend of his and then committing
suicide.
1t seems that for some time, Patter-
son had been paying attention to a
widow, Mrs. Mag Pender. To-day
he called on her and some dispute arose
betwe IN them. Patterson drew his
pistol and fired at the woman as she
fed, inflicting two flesh wonds, one in
the thigh and the other in the calf of
the the leg, but neither being serious.
He then placed the point Of the revolver
in his right ear and fired, the bullet
passing out of the top Of the head.
He died Immediately. Upon removing
the body, he was found to be armed
not only with the pistol, but with
a large dirk and other weapons.
Patterson, had been Holiness
preacher here for some time. Lately
he had turned painter and had been
painting houses about town. 1t is
believed that his mind was not well
balanced. He was seen wandering
about the Seaboard depot about
O'Clock this morning, and his actions
recently led people have come in
contact with him to doubt his sanity.

the Editor of The Dispatch:


More rain, and then 1t rains again.
Last week we had fine weather for farm
work and the people generally pat i'll
all they could, which resulted in i'm
proved crop conditions and prospects.
Tuesday, the 9Th, it rained and has
been raining every day since, SO that
very little grass has been destroyed,
and some fields are nearly as grassy
as the.,' were before they were worked.
The prospect now is for a very small
yield of both corn and cotton in the
wet belt.
Our roatis are abJlit at their worst,
i'll many places almost impossible to
travel with any kind of vehicle, and
we live in civilized country and are
considered a progressive people.
When the chaingang works piece Of
bad road it could be easily kept in
good condition if we would just do a
little ourselves. but in many cases
comparatively little work is done by
the citizens.
Some cotton has been sold this
week at II cents, while some is held
for still higher prices.

The Chapin Cue.

It was the editors good fortune to
attend the barbecue of Summer &
Boozer, at Chapin on Saturday, and
mingle with the good people Of that
section. 1t is always a privilege to
meet with the citizens of this prosper
Gus ard growing section, but it was
a peculiar pleasure to meet with the
good people of Chaplin.
The day was ideal, the crowd was
patient and quiet and there was moth
ing to mar the pleasure of the occa-
sion. Excellent speeches were made
by Hon. G.. ii. Efird. of Lexington
and Prof. Baker, of the University Of
South Carolina.
The dinner was delicious, being pre-
pared in excellent style, and Messrs.
Summer & Boozer were warmly con-
graduated for having furnished such
an excellent cue.
The crops in the Fork are better
than those on this side Of the river,
and generally speaking are in good
condition. This is fine farming
country and, since the farmers are
using the latest up-to-date machinery,
it is much easier to keep down the
grass.
: The merchants of Chaplin are enjoy
ing fair trade, even though this is a
dull season of the year.
We spent very pleasant day in
deed, and we hope to be able to
attend more of these 'cues in the
Fork before the season is over.
