olina Sunday School Association en-
tered the second day Of its sessions
today with over 1000 registered de.
legates, representing 36 counties in
the State. During the morning ses!
sion, the annual reports were made
to the convention showing the splen-
did progress that has been made in
every phase of the work in the last
year. Reports as to counties which

also heard and great applause greet
ed the announcement Of these honors
The efficiency of the corps Of State
workers under General Secretary r
D. Webb was praised very highly.
The session this morning was ad.
dressed by the Rev. P. H. Welahime,
of Canton, Ohio, and by Prof. NJ. A.
Honline of Dayton, Ohio, both OF

practical and still most inspirational

powerful speakers who have yet ad-
dressed the convention. Mr.. Welsh,
mer used as his subject, "The Teach

School," while Professor Honline's
remarks were on "The Sunday
School as an Educational Institu'

This afternoon the convention re-
solved into four conferences on Sun

Another Playhouse Broken Up

Deputy Sheriff Cockfeld and 9th
er officers made a raid on the lower
end of the county this week, and in
the Cedar Greek neighborhood, on
the county line road near the Santee
river, 80 miles from Kingstree w.
X. Emanuel, Henry and John Ward
were arrested it is alleged for oper-
ating a distillery, and turning out a
product known as Monkey" whis-
key. The officers captured and dis.
troyed one still and five barrels OF
mash. Also four gallons of the
Monkey" brand liquor which they
brought as evidence to Kfngstree.
An effort on the part of the opera
tors was made to, and good deal of
the whiskey was destroyed before
the officers could get hold of it. The
parties arrested were turned over to
the Federal authorities, and will be
called to Charleston to answer the
charge of operating an illicit distil-
lery. Thus a second playhouse" has
been broken up within the borders
of Williamsburg during the past
week by the ruthless, merciless hand
of the law.

Still Improving

That the Kingstree Telephone Co.,
is doing its level best to give its
patrons good service is exemplified
by the installation of new and ad-
ditional switchboard. This new board
is equipped to take care of los addi-
tional lines. Two day operators are
now kept on duty all the time. Many
new poles have recently been placed
and a number of the frequently
troublesome lines cleared so that
communication may be had over
them without disturbing half dozen
or so homes at the same time as a
result of crossed or tangled wires.
Many new phones have recently been
installed and a new directory is in
process of making. With improved
facilities as a guarantee of better
service we see no reason why the To-
cal company should not extend its
system until every home in town is
put in direct touch with the doctor,
the preacher, the druggist, the gro
Ger, the undertaken etc.
