only American city which has succeed

MERCHANTS GIVE 4
DINNER TO EX-sLAVEs

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 24.-Columbia
merchants have contributed literally
for a big Christmas dinner to be
given to the former slaves of this city
and vicinity "Uncle Charlie Jiggers"
one of the best known negroes in Col
umbia, collected the fund and has
made arrangements for the feast.
Uncle Charlie" decided that the
better plan would be to send well fill
ed baskets around to the homes of the
old slaves.
At first it was decided to give the
dinner at one place and invite the ex-
slaves to attend, but Uncle Charlie"
vetoed the plan on the ground that
there would be too much "snatching
at the table and that the older guests
would probably get the worst of it.

TURKEY FEAST
AWAITS SUMTER'S
CONVICT FORCES
A DINNER FOR THE zEBRAS
viii Be Served at the Camps
Today

That class of unfortunates, the more
than one hundred shackled convicts
constituting Sumter's force of good
roads builders, will not be neglected
in this season of good cheer, but will
feast upon turkey and other Xmas del
icacies, as will the more light-hearted
throngs beyond the pole of the grim
and guard-mounted walls of the stock
ade.
Supt Henry T. Christian, as he al
ways does upon Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas, has provided an excellent
dinner for the zebras, who will have
holiday as well.
A photograph taken of the TURKEY
slaughter, and which the Times-Re-
corder will produce shortly, represents
a. scene i'm the stockade yard where
three trustees" are slaughtering i
bunch of sixteen fat gobblers provided
by Supt. Christian for the feast at the
feast there will be general menu of
substantials, including meats, pies,
cakes, salads and other good things,
while the negroes love for sardin IS
and stick candy will be gratitied as
we'll. At the plate of each black zebra
in the dining room set apart for their
use will be a box or two of cardines
and numerous sticks of fresh pepper
mint candy.
There are thirty or forty white men
in the Sumter county gang, half Of
them being tramps pulled off trains
here recently, and these will get the
best dinner they have had since start
ing south" for the winter season. Se..'-
wants will wait in both dining halls,
and the menu served both gangs will
be abundant and of the very best va
riety to be had.
Supt. Christian allows the convicts
to receive Xmas boxes from relatives
at home, and after each box has been
carefully inspected by the guards to
see that no "contraband of war" comes
into the stockade, the packages will be
given the convicts at the dinner hour

bands in the world recently nearly
went broke in Atlanta because it play

Time after time Atlantians have been
given the opportunity to hear good

the spluge and glitter, without the
spectacular element that goes withs
grand opera, and they have taken
about as much interest in it as a mole
would in astronomy.
But this coming spring Atlanta will
put grand opera over the plate again

They will make it three-ringed cir
