day. That the Blue Ribbon carni-
val was exhibiting number Of fake
attractions was evident to many peo-
pie, but was conclusively proven when
the Human Spider" was arrested by
the police authorities and returned to
her home in Charlotte, by the request
Of her father. The spider, when out of
her web, was an attractive young girl
who had been recruited by the carni-
val when exhibiting in Charlotte week
before last. .... The address Of DIR.
Henry Nelson Snyder, president Of
Wofford college in Spartanburg, was
the feature Of the rally day exercises
Of the Epworth League Of the Buford
Street Methodist church Sunday even
ing at 8 o'clock. Dr. Snyder, who talk
ed upon educational lines, made a most
interesting address that was fully ap-
preciated by his audience. Special
music by the choir had been prepared
for the occasion, adding materially to
the pleasure Of the evening. Upon the
conclusion Of DR.. Snyder's address Of
ficers Of the league for next year were
installed by the pastor, Rev. g. c.
Leonard. The following are the new
leaders inducted into office: Henry
Moore, president; Miss Sallie Alexan-
der, first vice-president; Miss Rosa
Ballenger, End vice president; Miss
Agnes Walker, third vice president;
Floyd L. Baker, fourth vice-president;
Miss Christine Baker, secretary; A.
Louis Wood, treasurer, and Miss Alice
Gaines "Epworth Era" agent. .... The
fire department was called out early
Sunday morning by small blaze at
the home Of Mr.. William Dobson on
Race street. The fire originated from
a box Of ashes in the kitchen, but was
cd Hty Mr hy
time the firemen arrived. The loss
sustained was very small. .Appar-
emily the Blue Ribbon Shows which
exhibited in Gaffney last week, played
in hard luck" Before leaving the city
Sunday morning two attachment pro-
ceedings for various parts Of the show
had been instituted, and several Of the
concession tent shows and the ferris
wheel are now in the ground In the
rear Of the freight depot, while the re-
mainder Of the carnival Is In Camden
exhibiting at the Camden county fair.
..... Feeling that 1t would be best to
submit to the regulations Of the law,
Joe Bagwell, a young white man who
lives in the Battle Ground section Of
the county, came to the city Friday
morning and plead guilty before Mag
istrate William Phillips to charge OF
disorderly conduct. The magistrate
fined him 500. The specific offense with
which Bagwell was charged was dis
turbing religious worship at the Mace
donia church. 1t seems that he and
some others had been imbibing of spir-
ituous and intoxicating liquors before
going to church, aiId upon their arri-
val at the place Of worship they were
in such talkative mood that the SER
vices were disturbed by the untimely
conversation indulged in by the young
men. Warrants were sworn out for all
Of them but when officers went to
serve the summons Bagwell was not
found. Later, hearing Of the proceed
ings that had been instituted, and
realizing that he was at fault the
young man drove to the city, hunted
up the magistrate, stood trial, paid the
fine and returned home. Bagwell told
Mr. Phillips that 1t was his first expe-
rience with intoxicating liquors, and
that it would be the last.
