There is a confederation of Wo men’s Clubs over in Greenville and the News grows sentimental and poetic over the assembling of the gayly be decked hosts. We are not informed whether the meeting is in the inter est of church, state, society, or man kind at largo. The probabilty is that man’s depravity will bo shown up in its true colors, but whether specific remedies will be applied is extremely problematical. ♦ « ♦ ♦ M. R. Reese the man who killed Williams in Blacksburg over four years ago, and after having been con victed, made a remarkable and mys terious escape from Yorkville jail has been arrested at Oxford, Miss., and is now’ held there by the sherilT awaiting requisition papers from South ^Carolina. So the Oxford sheritl informs Gov. McSweeney, and appearances arc so strong that the Governor has made out the papers and will send W. H. Newbold, of Chester, after the prisoner, if the man prove to be Reese, he will servo a life sentence in the penitentiary, tvriu few sympathizers among those who remember the circumstances of his cruel and malicious deed.
