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.

Mr Ackerman Favors Stock Law.
Voter* of Colleton county: Wtnwe
a duty to ourselves and to our ohikl-
ren to contend for cur constitutions!
rights. Stock law is no experiiaent.
We are now joining in with Brae-
tenths of the land owner of onr slate.
And almost the whole civiK&ei
world is getting protection for oar
property. And any exemption that
will interfere with personal right*
without compensation will be uneea-
•titutional. Don’t let us hold on Is
the tradition of the past. Better for
tied to a deid dog than^a live firas
We live in a progressive age let st
get in the procession. Don’t be om*
tail swingers. Don’t let life jaiqr
beef steak tempt you to vote, as sug
gested, a hardship on your neighboc.
Most of us buy deef at highest prins
which are raised on our own Irai.
Often fattened with growing crepe
Why encumber the farming interest
Why compel land owners to sacritiot
their timber to build fences to protoM
their own crops?
Only selfish men want to interfere
with others rights the law says: “TV)*
ahall not covet” Stock at large tea
curse to any agricultural communatj.
Whv continue this nuisance reap
longer? Voters of Colleton be ana.
