A proposition looking 'to the erection of a theater in Anderson has been formulated by the extension committee of the Chamber of commerce. The dispensary opened at Saint George in Dorchester county, and by sundown had done such a rushing business that over $200 was taken in. The community welfare conference, which is to be hold in Orangeburg during the Orangeburg County Fair, on November 12-13 has been placed in charge of Dr. Watson B. Duncan, and an excellent program arranged. Spartanburg is to have an orchestra, not merely a collection ot' players, but a live organized orchestra, directed by Professor Ross, ot Converse College. There are at present about 17 members,' but Mr. Ross hopes to increase the number to at least 35. I Though about half of a necessary 2,500 Columbia freeholders have signed the petitions for the $500,000 bond issue for water and sewerage extensions, many seem to be holding back through indifference. Very few have expressed themselves as opposed. Aids to navigation in Charleston harbor ur< soon to undergo a decided improvement, according to a statement by Inspector H. 1). King of tlie sixth lighthouse district, i ne changes will be made in the main channel buoyage and are expected to be in effect by December 1. The entering wedge for paving the whole of Meeting street was driven home by Charleston City Council when that body adopted the report of the street committee recommending the granting of the petition of abutting property owners between Market and Werttworth streets asking for modern pavement. Greenville's new bunal place will have a name which is rather unique in cemetery nomenclature. It will be called Graceland. As this name was sugCPStpd lw Iwn if- utoe f-U., w?y ? ? wv? -V J X# f-/ V/ |./ * V ?* t?C CI J C decision of the judges that the award of fifty dollars in gold he equally divided between them. They are Mrs. J. R. Lawrence and A. C. Hunt. The evident need in Greenville for a remedial loan bank of some kind led the directors of the Mechanics' Perpetual Building and Loan Association some time since to appoint a committee the duty of which was to investigate the field and also the types of remedial loan banks. This committee has completed its work. It recommends that a Morris plan bank be established. A movement is now on foot in South Carolina for the organization of a baseball league with a membership of Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, Columbia, Augusta and possibly Charleston, or one of the other towns in the State. A campaign will be launched within the next few days to arouse interest in the proposed circuit and it is prohahle that definite plans will take on shape at an early date. In granting a full pardon a few days ago to J. R. Parris, of Spartanburg, convicted in September, 1013, of assault and battery with intent to kill and sen tenced to $100 or three months. Governor Blease is quoted as having congratulated Parris upon being man enough to protect his sister from a drunken husband. "In tact," said the governor, "I think there should be an appropri tion made by which the governor could a.vard Parris a gold medal of honor f r his action." Parris whipped his brother-ii .w for the abuse of Par*is' sister, who was the wife of the man whipped. / / ftfc i .u. . ++ * * \ I HE F Politics in "The Fifth. W. P. Beard, chief "Bullmoose" of South Carolina, claims fn VICVD o A.1-~ ww hut v uiauc a tii|j llllUU^U Kit! Fifth district of the State recently and writes in part as follows of what he learned of things political: "Up in the Fifth district politics are moving up a notch or two. This is caused by the belief that Mr. Finley will not be a candidate for re-election next year. Those mentioned to succeed him are G. W. Ragsdale of Winnsboro, T. B. Butler and Senator Hall of Gaffney, W. F. Stevenson and his perennial opponent, VV. P. Pollock of Cheraw, P. L. Hardin and A. L. Gaston of Chester, T. F. McDow and J. Steele Brice of Yorkville, and M. L. Smith of Camden. "Mr. Ragsdale is classed as a Blease man. Messrs. Butler, Stevenson, Hall, Hardin, Gaston, Brice and McDow are antiBlease. Mr. Pollock is neutral and M. L. Smith is kind of 'speckled.' "Rumor has it that Messrs. Butler, Hall and McDow are trying to form a kind of neutral administration society to support 'Seaboard Bill' for the United State.^ Senate in order to get him out ot the congressional race as he is thought to be the most formidable candidate and looks like a sure winner. Things political up there are all mixed up and it looks like a propitious time for some good strong Bleasite to break into Congress, nut if 'Seaboard Bill' enters the race there are rocks ahead for somebody. "1 have just completed an extended tour of the Fifth district and have hoard and seen many things, among others a tale to the elfect that John U. Richards and M. L. Smith have agreed that Mr. Snjith will withdraw from the gubernatorial race, and enter the congressional race and that lie and Richards will throw their support to each other. That is only rumor and 1 do not vouch for its truthfulness, but it is frequently heard in the Fifth district nevertheless. The Trust Caused It. Higher prices for raw jute and the reputed absolute control of the . price of cotton bagging in the United States by the American Manufacturing company and the Ludlow Manufacturing association are the leading causes assigned by Secretary Redfield to the Senate at Washington Saturday for the big increase in the price of cotton bagging in late years, particularly the last year. The secretary said that the two companies opened the market at about tho same day each year at about the same figure and any advance or decline in prices comes at about the same time. Each year the secretary reported, these two companies have been opening the market later. As a result dealers stated they were afraid to import because the opening prices of the two American manufacturers might occasion them great loss? No Election in Mexico. At the close of the elections in Mexico Sunday the indications were that not sufficient votes had been cast to make the election for President legal. It is estimated that less than 10,000 of the 80,000 legal voters in the republic went to the polls. The leaders of the Catholic party, of which Frederico Gamboa is the nominee for president, are claiming the election. Will Distribute Copies. Senator Tillman says that he has a number of copies of the new tariff and income tax laws, and that he will hp criad c#>nd copies to corporations and individuals who may desire them it' they will write to him at once, Ik lore the supply is exhausted.
