Society Notes.
Last Weflnesda/ night an unusually
'?V g^ttd tbe minstrel
company at thle Opera House, (he
northern guests attending in noeh
numbers that it seemed to "be proof
position that during tbe season it
would well repay tbe Opera IloUsr
managers to secure brat-class plays,
and take steps to improve the theatre
so'aa to accommodate their staffing.
The many friends of Mr. Sam Kus
aellire delighted to see "King Richard
himslf again," but were very sorry lie
could not be reynard in thecliaseon
Thursday. However, bis substitute,
Mr. Lynch Deas, did "himself proud,"
and all declared the run most exciting,
especially Mr. William Sterett, who
was the victor.
Over a hundred Columbi ins braved
tbe elements and took advantage of
the special excursion to Camden on
Friday last to witness a game of polo
for the liars tow cup, and in "spite of
wind and tempests roar" declared the
day most enjoyable, throwing added
btuqueta to our hospitality. The Reds
won by such heavy odds tint the sting
?f previous defeat has been more than
removed, and the Blues will have to
look to their laurels from now on.
The sides lined up as follows: Blues,
Barstow, Whistler, Vaux and Team.
Reds, Kennedy King, gage and Smith.
Referee, T. E. Krumholz. Time keeper,
0. C. Brown.
Though the spectacular plays were
less numerous than usual, the playing
was hard and earnest from start to fin
ish, and the teams, bent upon victory
or death, were nothing daunted bv
several downpours of rain, but played
out the four period*, the Reds wiunuig
7)4 goals, 2^ for the Blues.
Those who were driven to shelter by
the inhospltality of the elements,
found solace and cheer within the
the Club House, wlier* Mrs. Henry
Savage, assisted by Mrs. Thos. Kirk
land, presided over the tea cups. Need
less to say, this was tbe largest and
most elaborate tea given this season,
and the Columbia guestn were filled
with astonishment when they learned
that one. patroness at a time *? took
charge of the teas, and declared Mrs.
.Savage more than a household genius
to provide so bonntiruffy for so many".
The table on this .oocasion -was cen
trally placed, and daintily decorated
With snowy napefy, silver and lovely
carnations. Misses Ch.rlotte Shan
non, Lenoir and Parish assisted BIrs.
Savage in serving refreshments.
As most of the visitors desired to take
part in the informal dance to be given
at the Club that night. Mr. Krum
holz, whose untiriug zeal and energy
had brought about the excursion and
entertainment of the guests, made ar
rangements for the train to be delayed
an hour, during which time the danc
ing hall and verandahs were the scene
of activity and animation, which the
j-hrill whistle of the approaching en
gine broke up^ll too soon, and the en
tire crowd made its way to the Polo
Grounds, where ihe iron steed stood
ready to bear homeward the enthusias
tic excursionists. ?
* The Misses Guignard were the guests
JJi"' a^ Mrs. A. D. Kennedy during
their alioiitjtay in Camden.

The 01 h and 7th grades combined

gramme consisting of patriotic songs,
recitations, essays and readings. The
room was decorated with dozens of flags
of all sizes, pictures of Washington
aud Lady Washington, and the boards
were Oiled with colored drawings of
flags, hatchets and mottoes suitable to
the occasion.
Lincoln's birthday having just passed,
a picture of the great emancipator with
dates of birth and death, was on one
.board, and a quotation from Lowell
just above, as the 22d is also his birth
day.
Miss Carrie fley ward, of Columbia
expects to pay Miss Lulu Shannons
??sit in the near future.
Twe amusing incidents in the Wash

try or four mules with their swarthy
riders for the hurdle races. After two
heats, the judges awarded the blue rib
bon to a youthlul rider, and the red rib
bon to* large we'l kept asslnine, mag

bunting, and with a white bonnet over

Mr. Editor: I wish to ask you
for space to ask just a question
or two. First, however, 1 will
state that after a long, long time
a certain piece of road in West
Wateree at -what is known as
Isabell's Bridge has been work
ed. This is as should be, for we
of West Wateree had begun to
despair of ever seeing any re
turn from our road tax, but why
did the party or parties who
worked the road, go to a place
in the road that needed very lit
tle work and throw up a small em*
bankment, where there was no
watercourse? Why were two
tile or earthenware pipes laid
under the road through this em
bankment when ono pipe would
have been a sufficiency? And why
were the pipes or drains laid so
that they were one and a half or
two feet above the bottom of the
roadbed and the same distance,
above the field tney are to drain?
Properly placed one -pipe wou!4
have carried all the F?Wr, taajtij
as it is, water must pond on the
upper side of the road until a
good sized field becomes a pond
two feet deep, before a drop of
water -can enter either. 12 inch
drain pipe, laid side1 bv side.
Does not this damage the field
beside the road? By what man
ner of engineering do we find it
necessary to put two pipes 12 in.
in diameter under a roadbed to
drain a two or throo acre cultivat
ed field with absolutely no stream
of water? Not inuch expense to
cfo this in one place, but do the
same work all over the County,
and what? By. tho way, does not
the law require that all work or
contracts for work, a moisting
to more than $10, be advertised
and given to tho lowest respon
sible bidder? The writer is a
subscriber to three Camden pa
pers, and he has not seen the
^Wnrk done on this "Isabell
Bridge Road" advortised, but ho
has boon informed that tho -Coun
ty Supervisor mudo a private
bargain with a partv to do tho
work for $35.00. Is this truo?
And it true, is it" according to
law?
Perhaps tho writor will have
some more questions later. With
thanks for your space.
