A Curious Thing.

Last week it was curious thing:
to see people almost wild making
their way in the darkness OF the.
night to that ten cent show in town
Nothing seemed of more importance
than the. ten cent show. It was;cu..
rious to see people spending other.
peoples money to get there; curious
to see people there, some of whom,
have not been inside church for
too long to mention. Gould not go
10 church because they were too
sick every Sunday, because they had
not their full share of religions
nursing by some person fool enough
to waste time on such sticks. 1t was
curious to- see women taking the
babies sleeping in arms, bnt5toos
young and ;delicate:to takethem To-
Sunday schoel land church; and hus-
bands who always have to stay hone
with those : dear, sweet wivesn every
Sunday, almost forg got!they had aver

church. Is it not curious? No! it is
not curious; it Is the devil in them!
1t is more than curious that people
will work and play, trade and con-
verse with and attend shows with
all classes (good and bad) of ne
groes, but should one of them go
into the house of God to worship
with the white people (some not
alD would be incensed. 1t is
strange! And the show is in town
for six days. One of these days it
is advertised that an educator will
deliver lecture on our school; and
when the speaker gets up he speaks
to forty people, but the ten cent
show has about four hundred pres
ent. 1t is not curious, but it is dis
graceful! Shameful! Nobody objects
to people occasionally attending an
innocent show where the humorous
side of life may be educated, but
it is fearful to think that ten cent
show has more influence over some
people than education or religion.
Let US try and be natural and nor
NAL. If we want to 60 to shows, let
US give little attention to our
brains and heart also. And when
the big show comes along in the
cities, this class will pay railroad
fare, hotel bill and entrance fee, in
all from three to five dollars; but
when little money is wanted for
the school or to fit our souls for
heaven, by having we'll equipped
church, they will suffer persecution
in paying out this money. Is it not
curious that people prefer to go to
common show rather than see
brother Walkers stereopticon views
which are educating; and though it
cost him money and time, it costs
US nothing. Now for all hell-bound
citizens that kind of stuff il very
good, but for people protesting to
have brains and hope of happiness
hereafter, it is all out of order. The
sore need of compulsory education
is seen at every circus tent. Observe,
we believe that to attend one good
frstclass circus in a life time is a
part of ones education; but per-
son must reach the conclusion that
if circus is the only thing that ap-
peals to him or her, we must be low
down in brains and morals.

To the Foreman of the Graud Jury
of Edgefeld County:
Pursuant to the provisions of
Section l4Os ofthe Code of Laws of
South Carolina (lsl9}, we beg leave
to report that the Magistrates of
Edgefeld County hive submitted
their dockets to the County Board
of Commissioners for examination
and approval as required by law.
The G" 'nty Treasurer has publish
ed as, lent of the amounts paid
into his hands as treasurer by the
various magistrates.
We have no irregularities to call
to the attention of the grand jury in
connection with the dockets of the
magistrates of this county, except
that we find that the magistrate of
the first district has docketed cases
against road defaulters without Civ
ing their names and specifying the
number of cases, 80 that we had no
way of checking the same. We also
find that on the docket of this Mag
istrate case for other misdemean-
OTIS without specifying the name
of the defendants. For these rea-
sons we could not approve this
docket.
We find that the Magistrate of
the Fifth District has only collected
and paid in FIVE dollars in fines to
the Treasurer of Edgefeld County
for the past year, and that number
of names of road defaulters have
been turned over to him, but that
he has not disposed of the cases as
yet. We also find that on on his
docket there is an entry of three
fines for road defaulters as being
paid to the magistrate of the Fourth
District. The Magistrate of the
Fourth District states he has not re-
ceived these fines from the parties.
For these reasons we have not ap-

Says a Christiania correspondent:
The name of Roald Amundsen has
been on every lip during the last few
days. First of all came the sensa-
tional news from Buenos Ayres that
the commander of the Fran, before
his departure for the Panama canal,
has discovered that his ship was bad
ly damaged by dry rot in the timbers
and had to undergo thorough and ex-
pensive repairs before the expedition
to the North pole could be under
taken. Besides this information he
also announced that the stores of
canned goods we're in a large measure
spoiled and unfit to eat. The cor
respondent took motorboat and went
out to Captain Amundsen's villa
about ten miles from Christiania,
where the captain spends his time
while at home. The captain was
found in his coy parlor. He is look
ing rather thin, but healthy, and his
jovial face showed that the stories
from Buenos Ayres had not caused
him much worry. There is no use
