Conner on Henderson
Some years ago, Mr.. Conner, when the
railroad rate fight was at red hot heat,
appointed Mr.. Henderson to the presi-
dcrcy of the railroad commission" he
said. "And still later, in the last fight
before the people for the presidency OF
the railroad commission, Mr.. Conner gave
Mr.. Henderson a magnificent indorse-
ment stating that he was the friend OF
the people in the fight against the rail-
roads, and ntimating that his opponent
was not the friend of the people.
'Inasmuch as he has charged as soon
as Henderson announced himself a can
didate against the ambition of Mr.. Conner
that Henderson was the candidate of the
railroads, it seems that he is guilty OF
denying his offspring, or befouling his
own nest of course, such truffle will
not be swallowed by the people,

Laurens' Song Birds.
Laurens Advertiser.

Laurens Advertiser.
We have never been able TO und~-
stand Just what is meant by an "ali-
day-singing." g."-Greenwood Journal.
Ask the Laurens people, They know
more about it than anybody else. At,
least they have more Of it.-Newberry
Herald & News.
An all-day singing is just what the
word implies, an 9ll-day sangns'
something like the old tiae preach
ing in the country, where people came
from long distances. to have services
in the morning, dinner on the lawn
around the house of worship and SER
vices again in the afternoon. At the
all-day singing, the people come from
miles around, bringing "weu flieo
baskets" prepared to stay all day. A
song service is held in the morning
followed by the midday meal. AFTER
dinner the singing is resumed until
the time comes to GO home. The sing
ing is under the direction OF a regu-
Elarly elected choir leader who possl-
bly, will sing a solo or prepare pro-
gram of solos, duets, quartets' etc.
The music consists entirely OF sacred
songs, sung in the good old-fash1on-
ed way with the spirit and religious
feryor characteristic of fervid, de-
Won't people. While the custom might
not be peculiar to this section It
seems to he more common here than
elsewhere, possibly because of the un-
usually sociable inclination OF the peo-
nile and their natural love for music
derived from the cultivation OF the
musical instinct since the early set
tlement of the country.
