Large Anclience iNligiitcct With Second Lyceum' Attiwctiou One of the largest audiences of the season greeted the Beulah Bucks Concert company c.t its ap pearance at the High school audi torium Monday evening, despite the inclemency of the weather, rain having fallen all the afternoon. The splendid reputation of this com pany was well sustained, and many --were heard to say that it waa the best attraction W’alterboro has ever had. Certain it is that the even ing's program did not have a dull moment in it, c^nd everyone pres ent enjoyed all the numbers, and the numerous encores to which the members of the company responded with graciousness. The members of this company- are: Mrs. Bulali Buck, re&der and second sepr.jio; Miss Marjorie Pad- dock, accompanist and second so prano; Miss Harriett Jotur, firs, contralto; Ml-s Opal Taylor, set-one contrn-lto. Mrs. Buck's readings caj tiv&ted and charmed the audience *nd she wncs encored tin.o alt- 4 time. The other’membe rr. were r.' well received and responded to mai recalls. Especially- enjoyable ever the solo from “I Travatwre." "Al 1 Have Sighed to Rest Mo,"‘ by Mio Taylor, and the rci.llng, "A Voic< From the Far Country," by Mrs- Buck.

Yes yon have got cotton and cottoi- is a curse to Colletcn c-cuniy and to South Carolina-. Mr. Watson gave figures to show what the people of South Carolina are losing each year by patronizing, these Western houses instei-d of raising w hat we eat at home. Con • is shiped into the South that is ac tually poisonous. Discussing the cotton situ‘»blni> Mr. Watson, said our people sKbul hold, and pledge themfielvea to pla;> only 50 or t»o per cent of a crop next ye ar. The world z demand for cotton is new 15.000 o\o bales, and there is no overproduction. The sper-ker thinks the worids demamis are nearer 17,000,000 bales. But the price is kept uown by distress ed cotton which had io be sold to pay fertilizer bills. in closing Mr. Watson said that farming wr.s the moat respectable of all callings, and is so considered in the old country.

The solicitor was resisted Ly Mr. R. B. Hiers, while the defence was con ducted by Cob J. G. Padgett of Wal_- lert-cro. assist*d bv Mr. C. II. Sear- son. The case was interesting It* that it Involved many legr4 techni calities. The complaining witness wan Mr. W.

The case was ably argued on both side*. O.M of tie most, striking; points in the trial was th« contenion of Col.
