IOWnQeSVllle, NOV. ii, lSlt'
Mr.. Frank Watkins, Deputy Grand Mas
ter Mason, came down from his home in
Anderson last Saturday and met with Ros-
lin Lodge No. sc in this place. He is also
quite a prominent lawyer at the Anderson
Bar.
Rumor has it, and for once rumor may
be relied upon, that three OF our young
people are to be married in the near fu-
ture. Mr.. Orr Clinkscales and Miss A,
Thornton, of Georgia, are to be married
on the 18th instant, and Mr.. A. }. Garner
and Miss Ida Allen are to be married on
the 25th instant.
Mr.. Dewitt Harper of the Wofford Fit
ting School, came over last Saturday and
remained with the family of his uncle, Mr..
ID. L. Barnes, till Monday morning when
he returned to his duties. MIR. Barnes Is
doing q noble and commendable part by
his protegee; will first fit him for Wofford
and will then carry him through that
kigher institution of learning, and the
young man is we'll fitted to and will make
good use of his golden opportunities.
Mrs. E. W. Harper spent several days
last week at the home Of her son-in-law,
Mrs. Theron Allen in Anderson county.
Mr.. and Mrs. J.. T. Garrett, of Waterloo,
spent a day or two last week with MIR.
G. Liddell and family.
Mr.. John--C. Lomax, of Anderson, spent
last Sunday with friends in town.
The Anderson Daily Mail of last week
Saturday gave an account OF a drove OF
wild geese that passed over a part OF the
city betweed / and 2 a. m. and some Of
those up very late first knew of them.
They were flying very low, but little above
the telegraph poles. An old gander in one
barn yard first knew Of them, and he in
response to them, made a noise indicating
his presence. That caused the drove to
circle around the place where the gander
was several times. They finally left going
South. There is q little history connected
with the gander above mentioned. Some
years ago some Anderson hunters went
down on the Savannah to hunt wild geese
and ducks at Cherokee, and among the
other trophies Of the hunt was the gander
now at Anderson. His wing was broken,
carried to present home and been there
ever since. Mr.. Zeke Clinkscales who lives
in the Fork, says that at his place are
many wild geese, and it looks as if they
will destroy some Of his wheat which is
growing nicely.
Mr.. D. L. Barnes, DR.. T. o. kirkpatrick,
Mr.. R. Fl. Moseley and Magistrate j. G.
Huckabee took an auto ride to Abbeville
and back Wednesday evening on business.
The car in which they went was owned
and driven by the first named.
Mrs. W. W. Thompson and Mrs. II. NJ.
Schrumpert went to Anderson Wednesday
and next day to ~Spartanburg, the last
named for treatment.
DR.. J. D. Wilson, Of Due West, came
over Thursday. He moved to that place a
short time ago, but for cause, will next
week break up his home there and move
to Iva. Troupe.

CLAIM CHARITY MONEY WAS

u.s., - the public is getting over
the shock of knowing that the money
it donates to charity is spent pay
ing living expenses Of little grafters
and enormous salaries of trained in
vestigators" in the charity trust" a
new sensation sprang up yesterday in
the court of Thomas F. Scully when
st. Anthony's Home for the Friend
less was charged with spending
money it collected in buying wine and
other delicacies for its heads, John
Kolodzejcik and DR.. Joseph Thomas
zewski.
KOlodzejcik, who prefxes father"
before his name, is declared not to be
a priest of the Catholic church.
Kolodzejcik and DR.. TOmaszewsh
were on trial charged with contrib
uting to the dependency of children. s
This charge grew out of the fact that
while they are alleged to have spent
the money collected in little cele-
bration" the children in the home
were going hungry. And, according
to the story of Jan B. BoTowsli, jani-
tor, the only part of the charity that
was spent on the children consisted
of empty beer and wine bottles which
the janitor was permitted to collect
and sell after the contents had passed
inside the heads of the charity or

they do some tall straddling to catch
all sides of all questions. Crary he

was on his feet also vehemently de-
claring that he wasn't playing at all

sition. And the people adjourned
