Happenings Of a Week In and About the
S~even-HiIed City-Personals.

Messrs. Jas. Harden, John McCalla,
Baker Boles, Robert and Julian Smith
went to Iva Monday evening and
heard the speech of Judge Ira B.
Jones, candidate for Governor Of
South Carolina, with which, so far as
heard from they were well pleased
with the exception Of a very few, the
large crowd present was a very or
derby one. A few were inclined to be
a little noisy. 1t has been somewhat
in keeping with S. C. political gather
ings for some years that there should
be a select few, present who wanted
to show off and knew no better way
of doing it. An empty wagon is al
WAYS known by the noise it makes.
There was a long drawn out case
in Magistrate J.. G. Huckabee's court
Tuesday. Mr.. T. Howard Moore Of the
Abbeville Bar, was here in the inter-
est of the defendant. The case being
submitted to the decision of a jury,
was decided in favor of the plaintiff.
Messrs. D. L. Barnes, D. K. Cooley
and E. J. Huckabee went to Ander-
son Tuesday on business.
Mrs. J. G. Chandler went to Ander-
son Wednesday and has SINCE been
with friends in that place.

Miss Minnie Fennel spent several
DAYS last week in Due West attend
ace upon the marriage of a friend.
A show came in Wednesday and had
two performances evening and night
From the best information obtainable
from children and grown ups 1t was a
Door thing. The street parade(passlng
through was not at all alluring, es'
%necially one or more of the mules
were so poor that they could nardi!
walk; a good chance for Berge OF
|some of his9ollowers, to enforce thell
crusade against cruelty to animals.
The Methodist minister, the Rev
]. c. Chandler, as usual, held his
weekly Wednesday night prayermeet
ing. Heretofore at times, shows OF
other entertainments have claimed o
had the presence of the prayermeet
ing going folk, that they had to b'
passed by for the time being, but OF
the night given, an unusually large
crowd was present. This was quite
an encouraging sign and led to man!
expressions of hope for better time:
to come.

Nemocratic club Saturday evening
