Miss Counts Entertained.

Prominent among recent social
events was a bridge party, given by
Miss ,Pearle Counts on the afternoon
of Friday, the oath, in honor of her
house guest, Mrs. w. G. Smith, of
Orangeburg. Quite large number
of Miss Counts's friends assembled
in response to her Invitation, and
spent lovely afternoon. Tables were
arranged for bridge-the participants
in the game enjoying it exceedingly.
After scores were called, and during
the social hour, delicious refresh
ments were served. The rooms were
most appropriately decorated with
cut flowers interspread with pots of
fern and many early spring flowers.
Miss Counts, always charming hos
tess, on this occasion sustained her
reputation in delightful manner.

Meeting Of Stewards.

The board of stewards of Trinity
Methodist church held meeting
Monday night at the home of Mr.. c.
R. Brabham, Sr., chairman Of the
board. One of the most important
matters discussed was that of inau-
guarding the envelope system in the
church. The matter was freely dis
cussed, and it was decided to refer
it to the church membership, and If
it meets their appreciation, the sys-
tenn will be put into operation.
Another matter that was. discussed
at some length was that of making
up a budget of all church expenses
and church moneys, and eliminating
the present plan of subscription lists
being carried among the members for
the raising of different funds. 1t
was proposed by the stewards that at
the beginning of the year all appro-
priations be fixed, and that the an
nual assessments of members cover
all contributions expected to be made
during the year. This would take a
good deal of work and responsibility
off the pastor, and would put the
church on a better business basis.
Under this plan, certain amount
would be appropriated for each of the
various purposes. The assessments
would be made up in accordance with
this budget, and members would not
be called upon for contributions 9TH
er than the regular assessments. This
matter will also be submitted to the
church membership, and will be car
ried out if it meets with approval.
Trinity church is now indebted
about $1,000 for repairs and addi-
tions recently made. 1t is proposed
to cancel this debt by approprlatlng
a certain amount for several years to
apply on the Indebtedness.

Death of Mrs. Frank Owens.

The friends of Col. J. R. Owens
were ,grieved last week to learn of
the tragic death of his daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Frank A. Owens, who died
from the effects of burning at her
home in Charleston. The funeral
was held Thursday afternoon at the
residence of Mr.. J. R. Owens, Jr.,
and interment occurred in Magnolia
cemetery, the Rev. NJ. G. Scherer Of
ficiating. The following account of
the death of Mrs. Owens is clipped
from the News and Courier:
"A verdict of accidental death was
reached by the coroner's jury at the
inquest held yesterday morning to
investigate the death of Mrs. Frank
A. Owens, who died Wednesday night
at the Roper hospital, from fire burns
sustained when her clothing caught
fire Wednesday morning.
About s o'clock Wednesday
morning while sitting near a trash
burner at her home near the. Stand
ard Phosphate Works, darning, wait
ing for her husband, chief engineer
at the phosphate plant, to come to
breakfast, Mrs. OWens's clothes
caught and before she could assist
herself, or help reached her, she was
enveloped in flames, which burned
her terribly about the body. Her
seven-year-old son and a servant re-
sponded to her cries. The servant be-
came excited and rushed out to call
Mr.. Owens, who was on his way to
the house, while the son poured a
bucket of water on his mother in his
effort to save her life.
when Mr.. Owens arrived at the
home he found his wife in an uncon-
scious condition and practically all OF
her clothing burned. She was hur-
ried to the Roper hospital in an au-
tomobile, where everything possible
| was done to relieve her suffering.
She died about fourteen hours after
the deplorable accident.

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED.
Carlisle School Will Be Enlarged for
the Next Session.

The board of control of Carlisle
| school, at recent meeting, authoriz-
ed the head master, Prof. J. c..
Guilds, to borrow $4,000 for the pur-
| pose of making extensive repairs and
additions to the school property. 1t
| is understood that this money will
be borrowed from the new building
and loan association, and that the
| work will be done before the next
session.
1t is proposed to remodel the H.
J. Brabham hall, and also make an
addition to the building; to install
steam heating apparatus in the main
building; to install system of sep
tic tanks and sewerage; and to add
two class rooms to the main build
ing.
The school is this year badly over
crowded, and it is to accommodate
the increased demands on the school
that these improvements are planned.
The improvements to the H. J. Brab-
ham hall will include, it is stated,
the addition of several more rooms,
the thorough renovation and re-
modelling of the whole building, re-
painting, etc.
It was decided some time ago to
install sewerage in the boys dOrmi-
tory, but when the question of city
sewerage was being agitated, no fur
ther immediate steps were taken to
put in septic tanks. 1t was decided
at the meeting to 60 ahead with this
work, and install the sewerage be,
fore the opening next fall.
A steam heating plant is to be in
stalled in the main building, which
is now heated by stoves. This will
be quite an improvement to the main
building. AS this building is too
small to accommodate the, classes
with the present enrolment of the
school, it was decided that another
wing would be added, giving two
more class rooms.
The next opening will see Carlisle
greatly improved, and with better ia
cilities than ever for giving the boys
and girls the best possible prepara-
tory training.
