of the Hobklrk Hill Chapter, O. A.
it. The afternoon found eiyhtm y
or -the Members assembled at the
hospitably home of Mrs. H.A. Witt
kowsky who w ub i hu pleasant lu?s
ess for November.
The tophs of importance taken
up were* the instructing of the del
egates to the 1>. A. 11. Conference,
which convenes on t|ie 11th of tlu
month, and tho discuBsiou of . the
recently planned project to intix
duce patriotic education in schools.
The discussion wuh confined to the
compoBltionB, which are to be suo
milted to the Chapter by the pupils
thruout the year, as -to when, how,
and where they are to be written.
Following these adjustments thi
Chapter was delightfully entertain
ed by a finely arranged literary pro
gram. Mrs. C, L. Leggy and Miss
Agnes Corbett gave very interesting
papers on the Indian era in Caro
lina and Oov Lyttleton, the' study
for November.
Mrs. I.<eggo was enabled to beau
tifully illustrate her paper by the
introduction of a number oof ex
ceedingly fine colored engavings of
different types of American Indians,
including those who Inhabited South
Carolina during the Revolutionary*
era. The opportunity given the
Chapter to view these handsome en
gravings was a rare treat, and
heartily appreciated.
From the Chapter's Historical
Scrap Hook Mrs. John Cantey pro
duced a lovely little .Bketch of Old
Fort Watson, on the Santee IUver.
Many happy hours of her childhood
days were spent by Mrs. Cantey in
this picturesque spot, and happy
memories may have aided her In
making the beautiful description ev
en more Impressive for the delight
of 4 her listeners.
Miss Selma l'arrish was the pleas
ing reader of a theme whose realiza
tion we are all striving to possess
?Happiness ? by Maupassant. The
piece was very enjoyable, more espe
cially for its unique and graceful
composition. V
The meeting closed with dainty i
refreshments.
The D. A. R. Conference is now
being held in Columbia. Our dele
gates are able representatives of the
Chapter and we expect some inter- j
esiing and instructive reports from
them at the regular meeting In De- j

SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED
WHEN MACHINE DESCENDS
What camo near being a terrible
acccidont. happened at the Fair
grounds this afternoon just ae Avia
tor Terrlll had made a successful
flight. It happened when tfce do
scent was being made and the ma
chine hA*l struck the ground and
bounded, but for the headwork of
Mr. Terrlll several people may havo
been killed or seriously Injured ow
ing to spectators crowded in the
apsce where the birdman was to.
alight. As it was several persons
received more or less serious Inju
ries, the extent of* which. cannut'T^t
be told. Mrs. King, mother of Mr.
W. W. King, of this city; Mr. Wil
lis King; of Bethune, and a child of
Mr. Ktng, were hurt, but physicians
attending cannot tell how serious.
The colored nurse, holding the
young child of Mr. John Nettles in
her arms was run* over and knock
ed down,' but neither were hurt.
Mr. Terrlll was seen In his room
at the Camden Hotel soon after the
accident and he deeply regrets the j
accident, which he says was entire
ly unavoidable on his part.- He was |
no completely unnerved, suffering
from the shock that h? had to take J
to his bed. He is a fine young fel
low and his thoughts were more of
tho safety of others than for himself.
jVnd what seems to worry him more
than all else in the fear that his
axed mother, who writes him daily
to quit the flying game, will learn
of the accident and it will prove di
sastrous to h??r. Mr. Terrlll hails
form Worcester, Mass., and says af
ter this and a few' more contracts
ban fo fill he intends to quit the
f'y'ng game as the danger and tierre
strain ta too great.

In favor of the movement.
Of equal Importance was t )i?> adop
tion of a resolution proposed by W.
W. Long, United S.ateH farm demon
stration Agent, endorsing the plan
for Iho State to manufacture lime
for agricultural purposes and to well
it to the farmers at cost.
ltlcharq I. Manning of Sumter urg
ed the manufacture of lime from the
deposits In this state.
Mr. Manning pointed out the neces
nity of the lime manufacture in con
nection with the cattle industry. Cat
tle must huve food and the legumes
furnish the best food for them. In
order to raise leguminous crops the
lime Is necessary.
Comparisons wdro made by Mr.
Manning as to the cost of lime in
thin state and in other states. In
South Carolina the cost is about $6.
66 the tota, in North Carolina $8.36.
In Virginia- an act was passed pro
viding lime to the farmers at the
cost of its manufacture by the state
and as soon as the act became a
law the lime "trust" attacked It on
the ground of unconstitutionality.
Tho lower courts in sustaining the
act said the manufacture of llmo wa
the best use to which cc^uvlct labor
could bo put both from a humanita
rian and a sanitary standpoint. The
use of convict labor to that end In
this Btate was urged. The necessity
for the state to furnish cheaper
lime to the farmers wub stressed by
Mr. Manning.
It Is understo9d that the commis
sion appointed at the last session
of the general assembly to investi-.
gate phosphate and lime deposits
may advocate the manufacture oi
llmo and its sale tothe runners at
cost.
li. H. Kawls, United States animal
. \
husbundryman, presided over the
cattle tick conference.
Congressman A. 1<\ bover was one
of tho speakers and he delivered a
strong address advocating the raly- ,
lng of cattle and pointing out tho
necessity for the eradication of the
cattle* tick.
Several experts made brief
speeches on the subject of stock rais
ing and tick eradication. It was
stated that the meeting is the be
ginning of a gigantic cattle raising
Industry in South Carolina. Far
mers In every section of the state
will be urged to raise more cattle,
and the advantages of Btock raising
will bo urged thru that medium of
engaging ifi tho Industry. Alfalfa
and other legumes are now being
raised in South Carolina .and one
speaker said, in view of this, there
la up reason why South Carolina
should not become the greatest cat
tle raising State in the Union.
-Messrs. L?. Ir Chiton, of Lugoff, (3.
Y. Hunter of Prosperity* and H. G.
Carrison, of Camden, were named
as a committee to take up with the
railroads the question of reduced

There is life, diversion, and enjoy
ment in a clean, first class minstrel

Minstrel ideas, furnish a program,
and an evening covering every line
of popular amusement. The people
want the minstrel show. There
aro very few reliable attractions of

rifled, his' pocket book was on the
floor, but about- $16. in ensh wai

like that of professionals was the
fact that lights were burning in
both rooms entered.
On the samo night tta? residence
of Mr. T. R. Hanson was entered.
Mr. Hanson Was not at home and
the thieves nfter pushing open the
front door^ turned on the light and
entered the room occupied by Mrs.

taken from a ladles handbag, but
nothing else was molested, and no
'one knew of the robery until the
cook came Thursday morning and .
found the lights still burning.
No clue has been gotten as to the
identity of the thieves, but it is
supposed to be the work of somfr.

on thruout the residential section

kept on until the large crdwd leaves
