Ralph Bingham. One of tbe most delightful snd charm ing entertainments ever given before 1 Walterboro audience, was enjoyed by s good sized audience st the courthouse lest evening. Ralph Bingham, the world famous “prince of entertainers snd en tertainer of prinees" was here to till the first number of tbe lyceum course. There was not s dull moment from the time be was introduced by President Smoak at a quarter after eight o’clock till tbe close of the evening. His impersonations were real; his wit was witty and covered everything; his oratorv was splendid, Ids singing better and his performance on tbe piano and violin was with a mtsler touch. He excels, we think, In bis dialect especially his rendition of James Wh tc m'| Biiey’s poems and his negro dialect. It is a pity t.e weather was threatening, thus preventing a larger audience. The management of the conrae express themselves as well pleased with the out look. The next attiactionls tbe Edwin K. Weeks Company which will be here November 15. This Mr Bingham says is one of the stromrest attrsetious offered by the Lyceum Bystem. Blood Poisoning results from chronic constipation, which is quickly catfcd by Dr. Klng’i New Lite Pllis.
