The announcement was made that no special progam me had been pre pared for the evening but that the congregation were at liberty to spend it as they chose in social conversa tion. The leading features of which was a dialogue, by three hoys and three girls entitled “getting up a pic ric.” This produced a good deal of merriment ami was heartily cheered. Miss Bertha Krnith then entertained the congregation with the guitar which she handles skillfully. She also sings delightfully. ThisJ pleas ant entertainment was kept up fur sometime during which the local choir interspersed Hie proceeding with choice music till finally the meeting broke up with many ex pressions that the meeting will al ways he a green spot in the memory of those present and that year after year, as time passes *on the partici pants can return to historic old Halem and hold their annual re- xinions under the immediate direc tion and supervision of the “King of Bulem” which is “King of Peace.” Jn behalf of the people of Salem and at their bidding I extend to the congregation that met there yester day uur thanks for their kind atten tion and good behavior, not only dur ing the exercises but thoughout the day, and we trust that each one will feel that we appreciate their presence and good conduct as a compliment to our senool and the community in which we live The weather is very warm and a shower of rain is much needed now.

WORKING FOR THE PARK. The Hattie Groimit Mcinorlnl A»HO<'iHtion llohls a Meeting, Some may have thought that after the great celebration that was held under the auspicies of the Cowpens Battle Ground Memorial Association on the 27th, of last May interest in the object of the organization would lag. But such is not the case. The members of that body are showing an enthusiasm and determination that is most commendable. If a National Park is not secured it will not be due to a lack of energy on their part. The incorporators, on Saturday, last, held their first meeting under the Commission recently issued by the Secretary of State, and elected the following officers: W. T. Hor ton, president; D. A. Thomas, 1st vice president; H. Z. Hicks, 2nd vice president; E. A Trescot, sec retary and treasurer, and T. B. But ler, solicitor. A committee consisting of W. T. Horton, D A. Thomas and R. P. Scruggs was appointed to obtain the laud from parties living at or near the battle ground which the associa tion will take charge of, fence in, and beautify. And right here it may he added, that if the people of that sec tion will only aid the association they will certainly have no cause to complain of the result of the associ ation’s work. The park will he, with out the aid of the government, the prettiest in the county, if not in the state. A committee consisting of T. B. Butler, H, Z. Hicks and E. A. Tres cot was appointed to look after the finances. Then came the following resolu tion, a copy of which the secretary was instructed to transmit to the Cowpens Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. “Whereas the Cowpens Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, have used every effort to preserve the monument that marks the place where the famous battle of Cowpens was fought. And, whereas, these noble and pa- triotict women have manifested great interest in.the efforts of this associ ation to establish^ national park at said place. Be it resolved, That wc, the Cow pens Battle Ground Memorial Associ ation, extend our heartfelt thanks to the Cowpens Chapter of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution for their efforts in the past, and trust that we will have their aid and assis tance in securing Hie establishment of a national park on the historic spot, so that when established, as it will be, the Jnamo of their chapter will he entwined with that of ours, in a deed that cannot but appeal to all Americans and reflect honor upon its promoters. The above was adopted with pleas ure. Everyone present was familiar with the efforts of the ladies of this Chapter, and how much their pres ence added to thaMay celebration. Many have bc-lievtd that the Me morial Association would succeed in its undertaking, hut, there can he no question now, that they have the aid and assistance of these noble women, who will have the assistance of many other patriotic organizations not only in the state, but in the United States. After passing upon a few minor matters the meeting adjourned to meet August 28th. Million* Given Away.

New Yohk, Ang. 7. —A new phase was injected into the controversy be tween the printers and the management of Tile Son this morning by the arrival here of the steamer Endeavor from Philadelphia with 104 nonunion men in charge of Charles William Edwards, The Sun’s superintendent of printing. Only nine of this number on arrival here went to work, and after working for less than oue half hour, five of these joined the ranks of the strikers. On board the Endeavor wu* a printer who had gone from this city as an emis sary of the strikers. He spent the time on the trip to this city in explain ing the situation to the nonunion men, the majority of whom decided not to fulfill their contract wiih Mr. Edwards.

The men engaged in the press, mpil and delivery rooms have, it is said, no organization. BAKERS TAKEN TO BOSTON. Lillian Clayton Jiwett Curries Dead Negro’s Family North. CiiAKi.E.vroN, Aug. 7. —Lillian Clayton Jewett, the Boston girl who recently created a sensation in that city by de claring that she would come to Charles ton and t.ike north with her the family of tho lato Frazer B.

Miss Jowett arrived here Friday morning, accompanied by her mother and a yomig man named R. G. Larsen, who is a Boston journalist. She had frequent conferences with the Baker woman and her friends, and as a result she left here for Boston Saturday after noon, accompanied by tho entire Baker family, the mother and five children. Miss Jewett said her plans for the fu ture were not yet formulated, but she proposed to hold niassiueetiugs through out the north to arou*o popular senti ment against lynching and mob law generally. The Rev. J. L. Dart, a negro minis ter of this city who has recently spent some time in Boston, opposed violently the removal of the Bakers from Charles ton.

GREYFUS ARRAIGNED; ASSERTS INNOCENCE Voico Quivers With Emotion as lie Pleads Not Guilty, A RIGOROUS EXAMINATION Prisoner Deathly Pale on Entering the Courtroom, Hut Regains His Composure ami Answers Questions Without Hesitation. Rennes, France, Aug. 7.—The pro ceedings of the courtmartial before which Captain Dreyfus is on trial opened at 7:10 o’clock this morning. The court adjourned after deciding to sit behind closed doors tomorrow and as fCany of the following days as are necessary for the examination of the secret dossier. The next public session of the court will probably take place ou next Satur day. Captain Dreyfus entered the court room with a firm step, though his fea tures were pallid. He is partly bald aud what hair ho has is gray and close cropped. He answered the formal questions of the judge as to his name, age, etc., in a clear, determined voieo. He sat facing the judges with his hands resting on his knees, an impassable tiguro. The trial opened, so far as Rennes is concerned, in an atmosphere of perfect tranquility. The population is appar ently indifferent. A small crowd, at the most 50 persons, had gathered out side the entrance to the Lycee by fi o’clock. A majority of these were journalists. The prefect of police and chief of the secret police, Yiijoier, ar rived just before 6 and began tho super intendence of police measures. At this time only half a dozen of gen darmes were visible. They were sta tioned at tho portal of the Lycee aud inside tho garden in front of tho Lycee, which is separated from the sidewalk of the Avenue De la Gare by a high iron railing, which no one was allowed to pass until Dreyfus had been transferred from the military prison to tho/room within the Lycee building, where ho was to await the moment when he should be summoned to enter the court room. Gendarmes on Hand. Strong detachments of gendarmes, on foot and mounted, began to arrive at 6 o’clock aud took up their positions iu the side streets around the Lycee. At 6:15 tho prefect of police gave the order to close the Avenue de La Gare for 800 yards in front of the Lycee aud also all bystreets leading to tho avenue. The gendarmes were immediately drawn up along the avenue and tho space in front of the Lycee was cleared of all spectators. A detachment of in fantry was drawn across tho avenue iu two double lines, leaving between them a passage for Captain Dreyfus across the avenue from tho military prison f o the entrance to the Lycee. Tb '‘ow’d, which by that time bad increased to a few hundred, wore kept by tho gendarmes at a distance of 150 yards cn either side of this passage. Captain Dreyfus emerged Irom the mil itary prison under escort of a lieutenant and four gendarmes. He crossed the railroad quickly and disappeared within the Lycee, the hedge of soldiers hiding him from view. The principal personages in the trial arrived between 6:30 and 7 o’clock. The generals passed with hardly a cheer from the spectators, General Mercier alone being greeted with a few cries of “vive 1’armee,” and “vive Mercier” as he drove up in a closed carriage. Lieu tenant Colonel Picquart arrived on foot at 6:40, wearing a silk hat and black frock coat with red ribbon of the Le gion of Honor in the buttonhole. No demonstration was made upon bis ar rival. but be appeared in the most cheer ful mood, smiling aud chatting with friends, and if ho may be judged by his bearing, he is sanguine of a favorable issue of the trial. An Animated Scene. The scene in the courtroom was most animated. Every inch of space was filled a quarter of an hour before tho proceedings opened. The splendid gold-laced uniforms of the generals summoned as witnesses, and the uniforms of the judges, soldiers and various officers present, combined to light up the dark tints with which tho walls of the hall were painted and gave a bright appearance to the court room. Immediately after Colonel Jousau«t was seated he gave the order to bring in the prisoner. All eyes wore then turned to the right of tho stage, beside which was a door leading to the room in which Dreyfus was awaiting the summons. Almost everybody but the most promi nent officers stood on their feet, some mounted on benches to obtain a better view. Thera were subdued cries of “sit down.” amid which the door opened and Captain Alfred Dreyfus, preceded and followed by a gendafme, emerged into the courtroom. His features were deathly pale and bis teeth were set with a determined but not defiant bearing, lie walked quickly with almost an elastic step aud ascended the three steps leading to the platform in front of the judges. There ho drew himself up erect, brought his right hand sharply to the peak of his kepi, or military cap, giving the military salute, showing that years of incarceration ou Devil’s island aud ter rible anguish of body aud mind had not impaired his soldierly instinct and bear ing. The prisoner then removed his kepi and took the seat placed for him, facing his judges, just in front of his counsel’s table and with his back to the audience. Behind him sat a gendarme, bolding a sheathed sabre in his hand. Dreyfus Fuoes Ills .Judges. Dreyfus, in a new uniform of captain of artillery, dark blue with rad facings, fixedly regarded the judges, with im movable features and without stirring hand or foot, scarcely ever moving his head, during the whole course 4>f tho { iroceedings except when he entered aud eft the courtroom. After the formal proceedings, which occupied a couple of hours, Colonel Jodaust began the examination of Dreyfus respecting the famous borde reau and what Dreyfus did with, or could have known of its contents. When Dreyfus, wearing eyeglasses, rose from his scat for examinaviou, ho stood erect, holding his kepi iu his hand before him. Ho looked Colonel Jouaust in tho face during the whole interroga tory. Colonel Jouaust began by saying: “It results from the documents just read that yon are accused of having brought about machinations or held re lations with a loreigu power or one or more of its ageutn in order to procure it means, by delivering it documents, in dicated in the incriminating bordereau to commit hostilities or undertake war against France. I notify you that you will be allowed to state during the course of these proceedings anything that appears to you useful for your de fense. ” Asserts Ills Iiikocciico. Dreyfus replied with a vehement declaration of bis innocence, repeating several times, “I am innocent,” iu a voice which quivered with emotion. The agonized manner in which he ut tered his protestations of innocence had a most painful effect and must have evoked tho sympathy even of his most inveterate enemies. The prisoner grew more composed as the examination proceeded, answering every question without a moment’s hes itation. The accoustics of the court room were abominable, only those within a few feet of the judges being able to follow the examination closely. Even M. Labon, who was seated be hind Dreyfus, within 3 yards of him, held his hand to his ear in order to catch the questions and answers. Colonel Jouaust submitted Dreyfus to a rigorous examiuation, more in the stylo of a prosecuting counsel than a judge, aud made gestures of impatience at some direct denials which Dreyfus gave repeatedly to the judge’s questions. The prisoner’s voico resounded fre quently through tho courtroom as he energetically replied: “No, my colonel,” “never, never,’’ to questions put to him. Henry’s Widow Present. The widow of Liertenant Colonel Henry, dressed in deep mourning, was present iu court, aud replied to her name in the roll call of witnesses. After the court had decided not to ad journ on account of the absence of cer tain witnesses, the clerk of the court was ordered to read M. D’Ormes Chevville’s bill of indictment of 1894, which he did iu a loud voice, Dreyfus in the meanwhile listening unmoved as tho old charges against him were read. Colonel Jouaust theu handed the prisoner a long slip of cardboard, upon which the bordereau was pasted: “Do yon recognize this document?” Dreyfus replied, with a passionate outburst: “No, my colonel. I am innocent. I declare it here as I declared it in 1894, I am a victim —” his voice hero was choked with sobs, which uiu-;t have stirred every spectator in court. The voice of the prisoner did not seem hu man. It resembled the cry of a wounded animal. A - he ended his reply with the words, “Five years in the galleys! My wife! My diildrenl My God 1 I um innocent, innocent!" Colonel Jouaust said: “Then you deny it?’’ Dreyfus replied? “Yes, my colonel.” MAYOR TO BE IMPEACHED?
