Adams, OF Rock Hill, ar

| o}uHey AQaUlS, OF hOCR Hill, ar
rived in Walhalla Tuesday might,
and will during to-day be among his
many friends. who regret the short
| ness of his stay. He will return to
Rock Hill tomorrow morning, hav-
| Ing come only to attend the Bic
mannHughs wedding this evening.
| -Judson Winchester was arrested
In Spartanburg last week and
brought to Walhalla, being charged
with serious offense. At prelimi-
| nary hearing yesterday the case was
| dismissed, the evidence adduced not
being such as to sustain the charges
upon which he had been arrested.
Miss Burda Long, who has been
| spending the past year at Millen, Ca,
where she taught school, returned
| to Walhalla last Monday. She will
spend the summer here with Mr..
| and Mrs. NJ. C. Long. Her many
friends are gladly welcoming her
home.
Julius Kennedy, who was re-
Gently shot near Seneca by officers
who had gone to arrest him, has
been lodged in jail on a warrant
charging resisting an officer. The
warrant which the officers sought to
serve when the shooting occurred
charged Kennedy with assault and
battery with intent to kill. 1t Is
rumored that this warrant has been
withdrawn, but we are unable to
verify the report.
Tom Walker, colored, was iodg-
ed In jail yesterday on commit
ment from Magistrate S. II. Marett,
before whom he was tried on war
rant charging petty larceny and
trespassing. 1t seems that Walker
annexed turkey that did not belong
, to him, then cut telephone wires to
aid In making good his escape. He
was caught, however, and the Mag
lstrate figured 1T up thusly: "Turkey,
80 days; telephone wires. 80 days
total GO days" This section Of the
country Is not adapted to the "tur-
key trot."
Our good friend, Grnndy Hill,
formerly Of Horse Cove. y. c.. but
now OF the "world at large" paid us
a pleasant call Monday. Mr.. Hill has
been visiting in the Oakway section
for short while since attending the
Confederate reunion at Macon. Ga.
Mr.. Hill had with him on this trip
grape shot (weight nine ounces)
with which he was wounded on the
evening OF the first day of the Seven
Days Battle Around Richmond. The
shot struck him in the leg Just above
the knee, ranged upward and around
to the opposite Of the leg, and was
cut out some ten inches higher than
the point Of entrance. He was laid
up for some time, but was back in
the thick Of the fight before he was
able to again take up such activities
as marching with infantry. He was
given charge of "piece Of brass"
from which it was his pleasure and
delight to give the enemy the same
kind Of shot as that with which he
had been wounded. The guns from
which grape" was fired were loaded
with II pounds-16 grape" of nine
ounces each. Mr.. Hill Is hale and
hearty at 72 years Of age, and Is en-
joying life, giving not little Of his
time to visiting among his children,
who are scattered over the United
States, one daughter residing in Mas
sachusetts, one In Nevada, one in
Florida, one in California, only one,
(Mrs. w. w. Bearden, Of Oakway,
this county,) remaining any way In
the vicinity Of her birth place His
one son resides in New Mexico.

DR.. Perkins Condemns
tuberculosis Hospital
Says 1t Is Death Trap and Disgrace to City.
Wonders that Any One Leaves 1t Alive

Added to this. patients were allowed to
die almost daily in the wards in view OF
all the other patients, which terrified
and vividly reminded them Of the in
evitable end awaiting
Says Food Is Bad.
DR.. Perkins said it is certain that pa
tients at the tuberculosis Hospital do
not get clean and wholesome food. He
said that physicians throughout the city
are closely watched and relentIessIy pros
ecuted for failure TO carry out to the
letter the stringent laws governing the
management OF private cases, and yet
the District has under its supervision an
example Of how the laws can be violated
and evaded by municipality.
In my opinion said Dr. Perkins, the
tuberculosis Hospital Is a death trap
and disgrace TO the city. offering no
hope to those whose circumstances force
them to enter. No wonder the death
rate is nearly 100 per cent In fact 1t is
a surprise that any patient ever escapes
from there alive. II the Board OF Char
tiles is responsible for the depIorabls
conditions existing at the hospital. a
thorough investigation OF the swivel-
chair managers OF the public funds and
institutions is urgent"

TO INVESTIGATE
SMELTER TRUST
House Told Probe Of Metal Combine
Will Be Demanded of At
torney General.

Assurances were given on the floor OF
the House yesterday by Representative
Clayton. of Alabama, chairman of the
Committee on the Judiciry, that on
Tuesday he will report a resolution call
ing upon the Attorney General to inform
the House whether any action has been
taken, or is in contemplation, against
the so-called smelter trust.
This matter was brought up by Rep
resentative Martin, of Colorado, who
complained that the resolution, which he
presented. had been referred to the
judiciary Committee and that he had
been unable TO get action on 1t. lie
moved that the committee be discharged
from further consideration OF the meas
ure.
Il want interests in certain quarters
to know that l am not laying down on
this proposition" declared Mr. Martin.
IF the smelling trust Is not investigated
by this Congress II will not be my fault "
Mr.. Martin went on to say that he was
in possession of a good deal OF informa-
ton relative to the affairs of the smelt-
ing trust, and that II his hand was
forced he would disclose 1t. However
he would defer action until he was in
formed Of the intentions Of the govern
ment.
Replying. Chairman Clayton said the
Martin resolution was now under con-
slderation by a subcommittee, and that
he expected that a avorable report
would be ordered by the full committee
Tuesday. With this understanding Mr..
Martin withdrew his motion to discharge
the committee

RUBINSTEIN CLUB
GIVES A CONCERT
First Presentation in This Country
of Hadley's Cantata for
Women's Voices.

The Rubinstein Club, composed Of 100
women singers, under the direction Of
Mrs \. NJ. Blair, gave a treat to a large
audience at its morning concert last
week in the ballroom Of the Arlington, in
the first presentation in this country Of
Henry HadIey's new cantata for wom-
ems voices. THE Nightingale and the
Rose" one of the most beautiful compo-
sitions known for women. The Incl
dental solo, a very difficult and exacting
one for high soprano. was sung by Mrs
Dayelle Taylor weIch, a member Of the
club, whose singing placed her in the
class Of professionals. The music Of the
cantata is of the subtlest, rich in har-
monic beauty. rising TO dramatic heights
at times, and OF the tenderest pathos in
others. Unlike the great majority Of
compositions Of this type, the choruses
and the solo are equally strong in merit
and in beauty, and the accompaniment is
in keeping with both, and very difficult
II was ably played by Mrs. w. W. Bur-
dette, accompanist OF the club. The
chorus work was beautiful in shading,
tone color. and phrasing. The tempera
ment of the conductor was evident
throughout the programme and the at
tacks and finish were excellent. The in
depreciation Of the love tragedy of the
nightingale and the rose showed the ar
tistic and poetic taste Of both conductor
and singers.
Mrs. Welch has a high, pure voice Of
good timbre, which she managed with
skill in the great solo. for which II was
well fitted.
The other numbers OF the programme
were Voices Of the Woods" Rubinstein-
Sicker; Benders ''Watersprite's Re-
venge." and the lovely Song OF the
Roses" by Ludwig g-Thuille In which the
club did some exceptionally beautiful
shading. The solos in the Bendel nun

Birch). of Georgetown. and Miss Eliza-
beth Leckie. both members OF the club.
