Pretty Party
Saturday Afternoon

Saturdays golden record of hospi-
tality began in the afternoon at the
attractive bungalow of Mrs. Chas. B.
Counts, where the hostess extended
the pleasures of a brilliant bridge
contest to the young matrons OF the
city. The spacious living room and
dining room were bright with yellow
blossoms, the first messengers of Au-
tumn's sway. The score cards con-
sisted of our favorite picture of Mag
gle and Jiggs, with splendid advice
to each maggie" about what to do
to keep her "Jiggs."
Mrs. T. M. McNiel received the
highest score and was presented with
a hand painted bowl. Attached to
the bowl was a picture of Maggie
dragging Jiggs out of the room and
under the picture was written: "You
beat 'em, Maggie"
Delicious salad and iced tea was
served. On each plate Jiggs was
seen standing on pickle, and the
advice to the guests from the hostess
was, IF you wan to keep your Jiggs
just pickle him."

Will Catch Weevils

Estill, Sept. 19.-Farmers here are
iubilant today because they no longer
fear the ravages of the mighty boil
weevil. Frank Baker, young jew
ish merchant, left yesterday for
Washington to procure a patent on
a recent invention of his with which
he assures his friends that the boil
weevil will surely be put to rout.
From the meagre information re-
leased by Frank it seems that his ma
chine will be operated only during
the dark hours Of the night and is
equipped with light which. when the
weevil is disturbed from his peaceful
slumbers by protecting piece of the
machine he will be attracted by the
light and fly to certain death and de-
struction. 1t is possible that local in
terests will buy up the patent rights
and make bumper crops here while
the rest of the world continues to
plant cotton to feed the weevil.

NEGRO CONVICTED
In ORANGEBURG

Orangeburg, Sept. 19.-Abraham
Williams, negro, was convicted of
criminal assault in the Orangeburg
court here today. The verdict was not
returned until 10 o'clock tonight and
Williams will not be sentenced until
tomorrow. A death sentence will be
imposed as no recommendation was
carried in the verdict.
The case against Williams was tax
en- up this afternoon and the testi-
mony concluded before adjournment
hour and the case turned over to the
jury for decision. Williams had no
lawyer and Messrs. Fielder and Moore
were named by the court as his coun-
sci. The prosecution was conducted
by Solicitor Hydrick, assisted by Ed.
G. Mann and w. G. Martin.
Williams is big, strapping black
negro, weighing about $50 pounds. He
has lived in the Branchville section
all of his life and bore a pretty good
reputation. He was generally pres
ent at the fish frys as cook and was
well known. The victim assaulted is
a 16-year-old white girl, of promi-
nent family. The victim, mother, faith
er and doctor and others testified for
the prosecution, while Williams alone
testified in his defense. While on
the stand Williams broke down and
cried. He begged for drink of
water, which was furnished him. He
stnutly denies the attempted assault.

Much Interest In
Approaching Fair

Interest at the Ottaray mill is CEN
tering chiefly in the approaching Com
munity Fair, the date for which is set
for Saturday, October 1st. There is
| every indication that the fair this year
will surpass in, bigness and variety the
one that was so successfully promoted
last year. There are more families liv-
ing in the community and there is the
,, additional advantage of having the
basis of experience, which was not the
case last year.
We are exceedingly fortunate in
having secured the services of COM
mitteemen upon whom we can abso-
lutely depend for thorough canvass
of the community for entries in their
respective lines of exhibit. The. en-
thusiasm and ability of the chairmen
and members of these committees in
sures the success of the fair. The ex-
ecutive committee is headed. by Mrs.
B. d. Fads. Chairmen of other COM
mittees are as follows: Canned goods,
Mrs. R. j. Wilson; fancy work, Mrs.
j. A. Lowe; cooking, Mrs. J. A. Kirk
