Lssirgtoii Cotton Mill.
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.
The management of this mill is in
the hands of competent and trained
mill men who thoroughly understood
their business.
A telephone connects the mill with
the office of the President and i
through this office with Saxe Gotha !

Capt- M. D. Harman has succeeded j
in securing the promise of forty-four '
persons to attend the Confederate
re-union at Richmond. He is now
trying to arrange for a special car,
which will take those who go from
this county on to Richmond without
change.
As soon as he completes the arrangement
he will give ample notice
so that all who desire to avail themselves
of this excellent opportunity
to visit the once Capital City of the
Confederacy can do so. The fare
for the round trip is only $8.10 and
we trust that all who can possibly do
so will attend.

The Entertainment.
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.

hearing before Magistrate

not being sufficient evidence to hold

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.

Mr. Clarence Glover, one of Batesburg's

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.
