TWO OLD CONFEDERATES.
Polk Miller and His Company
Please Large Audience Here.

Polk Miller and his chum, Col
Booker, ably supplemented by their
negro quartette, completely captur-
ed the large audience at the opera
house Thursday night of last week.
The veterans were admitted free
and it was pleasing to Mr. Miller, the
management and everyone present
to see so many of the old soldiers
the guests of honor on this occasion.
Mr. Miller's entertainment is pure
ly informal, there being no regular
programme-just stories, songs, ban
10 picking and old plantation darky
melodies that vividly recall the hal
cyon days of the Old South.
The entertainment lasted nearly
two hours and every minute of the
time seemed to be enjoyed by the
audience. The half-forgotten fav-
orites of yore, such as old Dan
Tucker" were revived and thor.
oughly appreciated. AS banjo play
ers it would be hard to find the su-
periors of Mr. Miller and Col Booker,
while the negro quartette was we'll
nigh perfect in its way.
As a finale, to the accompaniment
of two banjos and two guitars, the
Bonnie Blue Flag, ,"-one Of the
most soul-stirring war songs ever
written-and the worldwide favor
ite, Dixie Land" were sung, and
all the people went away with these
two favorite Southern songs ringing
in their ears.
Mr. Miller was well pleased with
Kingstree and Kingstree will always
give THE Two Old Confederates" a
welcome from under the equator.

4 LITTLE DIP INTO SPACE.
Distances From Earth 70 Stars That
Make Even Imagination Gasp.

Distances From Earth 70 Stars That
Make Even Imagination Gasp.
One of the greatest sources Of the
| fascination of the starry heavens
is the measurelessness of their
abysses. The ocean Of space is so
pellucid that we seem to see its
spangled bottom, but trigonometry
is powerless to reach it. Here and
there only some projecting reef
throws a star gemmed point within
touch Of the astronomers sounding
line.
Such spire, situated at depth
hitherto unfathomed, has caught
and arrested the spectroscope plum
met flung into the abyss by the as
tronomer Charles Nordmann, who
has invented a new method Of ce-
lestial soundings. The glittering
star crag that he has hit is charted
by astronomers under the name of
Delta Lbrae, and the length of the
mathematical line which now hangs
between it and the earth makes the
Imagination itself gasp.
It is two quadrillions Of miles!
It is only step by step that one
can comprehend a number like that.
Two quadrillions Of twenty dollar
gold pieces would make 100000
necklaces, each long enough to en-
brace the earth and the moon in q
double loop. An express train trav-
cling 100 miles per hour and nev-
er stopping would require more
than $3.50, 100000 years to go two
quadrillions of miles. A projectile
flying 5000 feet per second, or in
round numbers $4,000 miles per
day, would require about 110,000,-
900 years to reach Delta Ebrae.
Light, the swiftest thing known
the swiftest thing that can possibly
exist, if we may trust recent calcu-
lations based on the phenomenon
of radio-activity, and that can make
the round of the whole earth more
than seven times in second-takes
355 years to come to US from that
star.
Yet Delta Librae lies in shallow
water. 1t is gem cast up on a shoal,
and all around it the mighty deeps
of the ether descend to profundi-
ties unthinkable. At ten times,
hundred times, perhaps a thousand
times, its depth glitter the star
sands Of the Milky way. To our
telescopes they appear to lie on the
very bottom, drifted into heaps and
curves by mysterious currents, but
it cannot be the real bottom even
there. Beyond yawn abysses so
black with excess of depth that the
stars themselves, great SUNS that
they are, fade to invisibility.-Gar-
rett P. Serviss in New York Ameri-
can.

Mr.. MONTGOMERY RESIGNS

Mr. E L Montgomery, who has
been cashier of the Wee Nee Bank

resigned to take a position as t''av-
cling salesman for the Wales Adding

Albany, Ga. The directors of the

Montgomery as cashier, Mr. Leon c

Mr. Montgomery has performed
the duties of cashier to the entire
satisfaction of the stock. holders and
by his courteous and obliging man.
ner and strict attention to business
has gained many friends for the
bank. His withdrawal is entirely
voluntary, being due mainly to the
fact, we understand. that he thinks a
position less confning would agree
better with his health.
Mr. Dove is no stranger in our
midst, having served for a number
of years as station agent for the A
C L railroad-and, by the way, he
was one of the very best railroad
agents the Coast Line has ever
had here. All are loath to lose
Mr. Montgomery as citizen of
Kingstree, yet if his departure is in
evitable there Is great compensa-
ton in such an acquisition as Mr.
Dove and his estimable family. The
new menage will begin May l, we
are informed.

A too tight glove will make even 4

get them large enough. and to have

CUTTING MUST BE WELL DONE
Good DrossmakIne impossible II the
First Preliminary Be In Any
Way Neglected.

The proof Of good dressmaking Is In
good cutting. II 4 dress be well cut
you will have NO trouble at all about
putting It together. These few hints
from an experienced dressmaker may,
therefore, be of service to the am
Ateurs among readers.
When you are cutting out q skirt al
ways allow plenty OF turning around
the waist and hips, and remember that
II your hips are large in proportion to
your waist It is best to get a pattern
q couple OF inches larger than the
waist rather than one that just its. II
Is easy then to take the goods In at
the waist II the pattern is too large at
this place.
When you are cutting striped skirt
remember that even though you may
be told on the pattern to place one
side to q selvedge it is advisable to
use rather your own common sense
and, as . rule at least, to cut each
side slightly on the bias. II this II
done the joining place is not nearly
so noticeable as II one aide is on the
bias and the other on the straight.
Before cutting out sleeves always
double your material and cut the two
together. Then you are bound to cut
them right and they will match prop
erly. II the material be striped see
that the stripes come directly over one
another. Pin the material to make
- -.
sleeves. the stripes in one Of which
do not match those in the other.
With these ideas, and others which
have been given in the past and will
be given in the future on this page
any one with an elementary knowledge
of sewing and a supply of up-to-date
patterns should be able to do her own
dressmaking in the simplest blouseG
and trockS. at least.
