The engine room and annex of the Lexington Mill have been completed and the building is now one of the handsomest and most convenient ones in the State. A. B. Meacham was the contractor for the stone work and Mr. Charles E. Corley superintended the carpenter work. One hundred additional looms and f other machinery are being placed in position. Steam power sufficient to run the entire plant has been recently added and every thing is now running smoothly.

An enjoyable aud pretty little entertainment was given in the court house last Monday evening by the ladies ff the Woman's Aid Society of St. Stephen's church. The program was well arranged and successfully carried out. It consisted of recitations, songs, burlesques, posing, etc. The young people who took an active part in it showed that they had been well and thoroughly trained, many of them giving evidence of dramatic talent of a high order, and the satisfactory manner in which they performed their parts was a credit to their instructors. The anthem by choir was a happy selection for the opening piece and was sweetly rendered. The tableau, "Early at the Cross,'' in which May Meetze stood clinging to a beautiful cross with up turned face, a look of deep devotion marking her every feature, and Lizzie Ogilvie at the foot lay asleep in the shadow of the Cross representing that trustful child like faith in the protecting care of the Saviour which should distinguish the Christian's life, was a sweet picture. The recitation, "Searching for the Slain," by Miss May Bradford, was delievered with ease, grace and dignity. The tableau, "Stolen Kiss," by Miss Helen Hawkins and Arthur F. Harman, was a delightful little farce, in which Mr. Harman found out that atolen kisses, while they are the sweetest, sometimes end in soap bubbles. Miss Mary Hiller, in scenes in and out of school," represented a country school marni true to life and Mr. S. 0. Kaminer acted the part of a trustee to perfection. Sammie Roof made a good country boy and Willie Caughman's impersonation of the overbearing characteristics of tLe city lad in taking advantage of the greenness and gullibility of the country lad could not be beaten. The character cf the school boy was well sustained by Jules Bradford. Tlio cfliov momherc nf the Kfhonl were Bunyan Elkins, May Meetze, Meetze Muller and William Caughman. The tableau, "Music, Art and Poetry,*' was a beautiful and charming piece of statue representation. Miss Helen Hawkins conception of Music was charming, effective and pleasing Miss Rosa Harman's pose as Art was very graceful. Miss Ollie Haltiwanger, as Poetry, showed a thoughtful, studious and intelligent pose. In the tableau "Tough Customers," the "Flower Girl," was sweetly represented by Iceoline Harman and she was ably sustained by Bunyan Elkins, Jules Bradford and Bob Leaphart. The Comic Duet by Mrs. Rosa Meetze and Miss Rosa Harman, was very laughable and finely rendered. Mrs. Meetze has a loud, full and clear voice which is well cultivated. Miss Harman was in splendid voice and she sang pure, sweet and strong. The tableau, Onward in the Name of Christ," by Miss Mary Hiller, was grand and sublime, representing a Christian pilgrim climbing the Mount of Difficulty, with anxious look to the heavenly land as 11 oeseecbiDg assistance from him who promised never to forsake one of his children. The little sprites, in the good night drill acted well their part. It was a realistic scene to every parent present to see these sweet little rose buds in the night caps and gowns, with lighted candles and dolly preparing for their night's slumber. The following little gills were the actors in this charming drama: Merideth Muller, May Mcetze, Ellic Hal| tiwanger, Blanche Bedd, Conie Lu cas, Lizzie Ogilvie, Earnestine Grai; chen and Anna Lou Harman. The tableau, with good night song, 1 was a lovely icene in which Annie Lou Harman lay asleep, with a happy , smile upon her face feeliug secure | under the protecting care of her guardian angel. Miss Elone Meetze i gracefully and charmingly representi ed the angel kneel ng over the sleepj ing cbild in an attitude as if warding I off tbe evil spirits wlioare said to be in a constant warfare for tbe poses j siou of a human soul. Mrs. Kosa Meetze, Mrs. Emma ' Graicben, Mrs. Annie Koof and Mrs. ! S. M. Lewie deserve much credit for i tbeir untiring efforts in training tbe i little ones so well and tbe successful 1 ending of the affair.

The parties suspected of being implicated in shooting Joseph S. Metz, near Irmo recently, had a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Dreher last "Wednesday, and there not being sufficient evidence to hold them, they were discharged. Meetze & Muller rep' essnted the defendants and no one represented the State. Wind Storm. Yesterday the weather was very threatening and nearly all the afternoon the wind blew with considerable velocity. The clouds had every appearance of a storm, but it did not materilize at this place. Mr. J. C. Lindler, writing to us from "Wessinger, says that about 5 o'clock that vicinity was visited by a fine shower and a heavy wind storm. "While setting in the back part of his house he felt a sudden jar and it appeared as if the house was lifted from its pillars, but by the time he got his family out the storm was over. The storm moved in a south westerly direction. The storm blew down trees in his yard and dashed one of them at his door and some timbers were blown into the piazza. His fruit trees were almost ruined and his wheat shocks torn to pieces and scattered over the field. We have heard from no other section, but from the appearance of the clouds we would judge that the storm was severe in some sections of the county. ? On Toward Bate^hnrg. Mr. Clarence Glover, one of Batesburg's most prosperous and enterprising merchants, and the cleverest and most jovial man in the county, was in town Monday and made our heart thump to the tune of a cart wheel.

They have laid away their goose neck rifles, loaded and ready for the second round, while I am si oo ing mine quick and devilish at the crab grass. I sorrowfully note the death of little Lula Belle, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Perry Lowman, who de parted, this life May 14. The beautitiful flower was early transplanted in the beautiful garden of heaven to forever shed the fragrance of a redeemed soul among the sanctified onos. Her earthly remains were interred in the cemetery at Macedonia in the presence of a large congregation. Not long since I heard a gentleman remark that free silver was a pure curse to the Union and all who uphold may go along the same path. I don't wish to carry on a controversity in these columns, neither is it my wish to occupy valuable space for a discussion on this matter, but if you will kindly grant me the space, I will express my opinion and give this gentleman something to feed his thoughts upon. "When silver was demonetized in 1873, it produced a money panic, but when partly restored by the Bla\id-Aliison act every industry revived and was set in a thriving condition. The treasury contained more funds than could be used, but when the coinage of silver was discontinued under the Sheri i i rp J _ man act, wnat nappeiieu: uaue immediately began to become unsettled. Dissatisfaction among the producing class was ver,* readily pronounced as was evidenced in the election of 1892. A money panic was taking root and continued to grow until there was almost a national demand for the newly elected President to call Congress together in extra session to enact some wholesome financial measures by which the country might be relieved as t seemed that the whole thing was goinginto ruining -merchants failing, railroads going into the hands of receivers and factory operatives suspended from work. In August, 1893, he called Congress together and advised the repeal of the Sherman purchasing act without anything in the place of it. So matters got worse. He discriminated against silver contrary to the platform upon which he was elected, redeemed treasury notes and silver certificates, or, in short, caused it to be done by the Secretary of the Treasury, in gold only. Contrary to law he let speculators draw the gold from the treasury, then issued sustain bonds to supply gold to it-- 1.1 ntn.. .Invil (/ Konofif ILlfc) gUHl BLUUllttLU IU uuuvu u the money kings, millionaires and Wall street gamblers and thus pauperizing the laboring class generally, and creating an enormous public debt unnecessarily. There has already been much said concerning the 50 cents dollar, but let us reverse the matter. Suppose gold was demonetized and silver remonetized in all the gold standard countries, hew long would it be before the gold dollar would be the 50 cents dollaz? Legislation makes the difference. There is scarcely enough of both metals in the world to supply sufficient money for the needs of trade. It is truly amusing to hear some men talk about the intrinsic value of | the two metals. Neither has any I such value. There is an intrinsic nnnlitv. but the values are cominer I M" -) cial and liable to change at any time, j The commercial value of gold has j changed nearly one hundred per i cent, in the last five years because j legislation has been favorable. How, ' I say, can any one be so blind as not ! to see that by destroying one-half of ! the primary money, one-half of the ! value of property and farm products are destroyed, the laborer s wages ! go down in proportion. But why da the salaries of 'government officials still remain on the same pitch? And yet the favored ones say there is nc . such thiug as hard iirues; why we 1 have plenty of money and can buy more with it now ttan we could some years ago. If the gold standard is not a special benefit to the | moneyed men wby do they hang to ( it so rigidl)? Men are so selfish nowa-days, they favor that which ben efits them without regard to the in\ juries it may inflict on others. I am 1 unwilling that sixty-nine millions of i . people of our country should be pauperized just to allow one million to ' own the wealth of our blessed land. Yours, &c, Andy.
