A GENUINE GOOD TIME.
.sOdd Timer" Writes of Entertain
ment at White Point.

Wanderers Rest, Jan. 23.-A lit
tie nonsense now and then, is relish
ed by the best of men. AS announced
few days ago the young ladies
gave their box party at White Point
school house Friday evening last,
and, Judging by appearances, nearly
or quite all Of the large crowd pres
ent had a delightful evening. Even
an old man got the contagion and
had the jolliest time in many years.
The little boys and girls all at their
best, their little faces all aglow with
health and expectation, the young
men and ladies all merry and fun
hunting, the love-lit eyes of some
one as they met the eyes of their
best girl or fellow, as the case might
be, was fine sight to the eyes OF
your old scribe. Soon each lass
was with her laddie, her face wreath
ed in smiles as the tete of an evening
went merrily on. Soon music was
introduced and kept up at intervals
until the end, and as the old songs
were played it carried an old man
back to the days when his heart was
free from care.
Guessing how many beans in a
quart jar, all counted and sealed by
an outside party, was INDUCED in at
10 cents a guess; many were the
guesses, none exact, but Mr.. A. F.
Allen, of Allendale, won the cake,
he being the nearest, missing it only
12. The candy booth was a popular
resort, and the supply not equal to
the demand. Now the buying of a
box of delicacies for the beaux and
his girl was announced, and the
many. boxes, all of beautiful design,
were soon sold out and not enough
to go round, and for 20 minutes the
happiest loking crowd of picnicers
ever seen enjoyed the contents Of
those boxes and slipped fine mocha or
chocolate good enough for king.
Here comes Gen. ]. S. Breland
with an offering of a walking cane
to be put up to the highest bidder,
and in his happiest mood gave a lit
tie history of said cane, it to be given
to Mr.. H. w. Chitty to help him on
his long walks, the proceeds to the
young ladies.
Last was the cake walk, all form
ing a circle and going around the
large room to the strains of music
rendered by Messrs. Merritt Kinard,
J. F. Breeland, Jr., and Dayton Bre-
land, was the time of much merri-
ment, INDUCED in by all. Soon the
music ceased and Mr.. Ernest Ritter
and Miss Parrott were declared the
winners. Thus ended an evening of
innocent amusement, enjoyed by ALL
and snug sum realized for the i'm
provement of White Pond school
house. Some of the scenes and
events will never be forgotten. And
your old scribe gives many thanks
to the thoughtful and kind lady
who added so much to an old mans
enjoyment of the evening. Mr.. S.
E. Neeley and daughter, Miss Sallie,
Mr.. Henry kirkland and family, the
Misses Kearse, R. L. and Roscoe
Kearse, Robert kirkland, from Olar,
we're in attendance. Several from
Ehrhardt and other places gave the
young ladies the pleasure of their
presence. After all nothing sue
ceeds like success. OLD TIMER.

your State, love her past traditions
and are proud of her future pros

against those who are innocent and

believe that the State has lost more
through the winding-up commission
than it has ever lost through the
State dispensary system. Whether
this be true or not, it is not for me
to say.
I hold my belief as to corruption,
but the people of South Carolina are
entitled to the fullest and freest in
vestigation on your part before the
report of these men is received and
they are discharged as public offici-
ais.
South Carolina is paying bonds to-
day for debts made by scalawags and
carpet baggers, for things which her
citizenship never received the benefit
therefor. Under her Democratic gov
ernment, she bought whiskey at a
price and sold it, made profit on it
and now repudiates the debt made by
her sons, white men and Democrats.
If she can repudiate this Indebted
ness with impunity and without
scar upon her honor, why could she
not repudiate the debt of thieves
and scoundrels who were not her
own people? I repeat, gentlemen,
laying aside political feeling, person
al feelings and animosity, and as
true citizens as you are, who love

AMMAkh'S HARDWARE
STORE BURGLARIzEO
Eleven Revolvers are Mis-
sing. K
Loss is Estimated at s75-Thieves
Enter Sometime During the Night
by Breaking Glass From Window.

BY breaking the glass in a rear
window and lowering the upper sash,
thieves entered the Amman hard
ware store on west Center street some
time last night and stole eleven re-
volvc.s valued at $75. The theft was
not discovered until this morning
when the store was opened. The po-
lice were notified of the robbery but
no clew of the ROBBERS could :. be
found,
Harry A. Amman, Of south Main
street, was In the store until 10
O'Clock last night. 1t Is his opinion
that the robbery was committed early
this morning. Probably the thieves
waited until Merchant Policeman
Avery Grabb had made his last round
and then set to work
Three of the revolvers were high
priced automatic guns, one "A Savage
make and the other two Colts. one
of the other guns was Harrington
and Richards and the remainder of
lver-J uhnsOn make.
The guns were taken from show
case in the front part OF the store
The case contained many ether ar
ticles of value but nothing else was
touched.
