a good take off, on the big millinery
openings being held in Yorkville this
week. 1t is in the shape of a display
Of millinery among the pots and
pans," and Is arranged in one Of the
handsome show windows where 1t
cannot fail to attract the attention Of
passers-by. There Is a love Of q bon
net" consisting of big dish pan with
ribbon tied around 1t and decorated
with plumes Of rope ends. An inverted
peck measure makes another presen-
table hat, and q joint Of stove pipe
decorated with two crossed trowels
demands especial and particular at
tention. Several other conceptions"
of the same general character add
interest to the display. Although
there was no particular demand for
the hardware stores hats as millinery,
1t will have to be admitted that Mr..
Brown made very decided hit. Most
of the ladies who visited the other
stores saw the hardware display, and
all enjoyed 1t as q good joke. The
aluminium thimbles given away as
souvenirs, however, were taken quite
seriously and with due appreciation.
The Spartanburg Herald Of We'd
nesday has the following with refer
ence to the "Capers Memorial" which
1t Is proposed to erect on the Church
Home orphanage grounds In York.
vile: "A determined effort Is now
being made by the Episcopalians Of
South Carolina to erect a memorial
to their late beloved bishop, which
shall not only perpetuate his memory,
but also carry on work in which he
was deeply interested. The orphan
age at Yorkville Is overcrowded and
perative. AS this work was always
very near the bishops heart, 1t seems
peculiarly fitting that the memorial to
him should take the form Of a build
ing for the orphanage. At the last
meeting Of the diocesan council this
plan was adopted, and a special effort
Is now being made to raise sufficient
funds to justify the laying Of the cor
nerstone at the meeting Of the council
at Yorkville In May. A separate build
ing Is to be erected to be known as
The Capers Memorial for the accom-
modation Of number Of children who
are now crowded into the main build
ing, occupying q room that Is much
needed for the education and indus
trial features of the institution. Pro-
vision will thus be made for con-
stantly increasing number Of chill
dren. When the orphanage was NOV
ed from Charleston two years ago, the
number Of children was 36. Now 1t
Is more than 10, and will probably
soon reach 100 II they can be accom-
modated. The Capers Memorial is to
cost about $1,000, and Is to be COM
plete and up-to-date in every parti-
cular. Mr.. Joseph E. Hart Of York.
vile, having been appointed by the
trustees to raise funds for this pur-
state. He will be in Spartanburg on
Thursday and will call upon the men,
bers of the Church Of the Advent and
the friends Of Bishop Capers."
Speaking of Church" or college"
street, the other day, an old citizen
said: Il know nothing about the name,
but I remember the street for a long
time. The old church that stood near
iy opposite where the graded school
building Is now, was built before
can remember remember the
church though, a long time ago. One
thing about 1t I remember was that
one of the carpenters who helped
build 1t was killed by a fall from the
roof. When I first remember the
church, there was only one open ap-
proach to 1t, and that was by way Of
Jefferson street. There was no street
then connecting Liberty and Jefferson,
except the one now used by the South
ern railroad. The land back Of the
church to Liberty street was owned
by DR.. James Lowry. People from
the northern part Of town got In the
habit of going to the church from
Liberty street by way Of DR.. Lowry's
house and approaching the church
from the back side. 1t resulted In
considerable annoyance to DR.. Lowry,
for one thing, because 1t destroyed
the privacy Of his back premises, and
he put up a fence to put a stop to the
going and coming Of people that way.
But that did no good. People kept on
slipping through, and in the course Of
time they tore the fence down. Then,
as 1 remember, the path became an
open way, and in time a street. AS
to how the town ever acquired right
to the street, l do not know. I do not
know that 1t ever acquired right at
all except by continued use. AS to
what the name is, don't know. I
used to hear people call 1t Church
street and supposed it was because Of
the old church, and afterward when
some called 1t College street, I sup
posed it was because Of the old female
college, which stood on the site now
occupied by the graded school build
ing, but which was not built until the
church had become an old, old build
ing. The church fronted on Jefferson
street, about twenty feet back, and
was right in the middle Of the cross
street, with only room enough for We
hicles tO mass on either side of It"
