SENECA CHURCH OPENED.
Prcsbyterians Occupy One of Hand
soonest Buildings in County.

Seneca, June 2G.-Special: Scnti-
ment in Red Gross work here has uni
ted our people as nothing else has
perhaps in the history of the place,
and | was about to say the call had
been answered to a man. But | re-
gret to add that there have been a
few-and happily very few-who
have not responded to this call. This
sentiment Is not confined to race or
condition. The widows m;pe and the
colored mans sparse earnings have
helped to swell the liberal contribu-
tions, which as a whole have exceeded
the amount appOrtioned the town by
possibly more than half. I am not
able to give the total, as subscrip-
tions are still coming in.
day night in the interest Of the Red
Cross movemnt was not we'll attend
ed on account of bad weather. but the
second meeting at the picture show
house Thursday night was most en-
thusiastic. f. M. Cary acted as chair
man, and the principal speech was
made by Col. r. T. Jaynes. Of Wal
halla. The selection of Mr.. Jaynes
for county leader of this work has
proven most wise, coupled with
thorough knowledge Of war condi-
tions, expressed with emphatic clear
ness, impressed the representative au-
dience most deeply. 1t seemed to me
most serious occasion; there was
no need Of joke-telling to hold the at
tention of the people. Short talks
were made by DR.. e. c. Doyle, Wade
G. Hughs, Esq, and r. NJ Cary. Com
mittees were reappointed to continue
the work here, and at the close the
National anthem was sung.
Interest centers this week in the
marriage of Miss Sue Ellen Hunter
on Wednesday evening at the Pres
byterian church. A number Of out
of-town visitors have already arriv-
ed, among them being Mesdames Lee
and Lewis Carpenter and Miss Nina
Carpenter, Of Greenyille
On next Friday evening the picture
show has been turned over to num-
Der Of Seneca Winthrop students, who
new students building which 1t Is
proposed to erect at Winthrop Col
lege during the next year. John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., has offered to donate
$4,000 to this building, provided
the students will rlise the same sum
by April IS, 1913. There will be,
besides the picture show, music
program by local talent and dancing
by young people, one Of the dances
to be "The Yama Yama Man from
the Three Twins The prices will
be 10 and zoe. A rousing house
will doubtless greet tnls splendid per-
formance.
c. e. Clyde, of Tennessee, has ar
rived in Seneca and has taken up the
duties in Sunday school work laid
down by j. S. Robinson. Mr.. Clyde
spoke at the Baptist church at the
midweek prayer service last week.
Mrs. Frank King and aDdsome
young son, Of Adairsville, Ga, are

urday, to which Misses Fan Esther
Meakin, Elizabeth Reid, Louise Law
renee and Sue Ellen Hunter we're in

Mr.. and Mrs. w. e. Nimmons have
had az their distinguished house
guests the past week, Misses Nora
and Ella Bowen, Of Sherman, Texas.
The first named is present candidate
for the House of Representatives and
while correct old South Carolina
would scarce believe 1t, there Is a
strong probability Of one of her old
est families being represented by one
OF her daughters in the next Legisla-
ture of the Lone Star State!
Mrs. ". M. 1taill and daughter,
Miss Alice, are visiting in Seneca.
