Tuesday Night.
The Siegel-Meyer-Dainty Company,
which comes to Kingstree
next Tuesday,is one of the highest
class and roo6texpensive attractions
sent out by the Rice
Bureau. Mr Samuel Siegel plays
the mandolin in a way that is
truly a revelation to those who
do not know the possibilities of
that instrument. Competent
critics have pronounced Mr
Siegel one of the finest mandoliij
players in the United States.
Mr Hyman Meyer is a wit,
mimic and musician, imitating
anything from a chicken singing
? A ;
a solo to grana opera, xv uuiquc
g-ift of Mr Meyer is his improv#
ization. Any words read from a
newspaper he instantly sets to
music.
As a reader and reciter Miss
Louise Dainty is piquant, magnetic
and delightfully original,
l'he lyceum platform has no
more popular entertainer.
This trio of talented artists is
the best that will be seen in I
Kingstree for a long time. The
opportunity presented by their
coming should not be neglected.!

City, November 29:?
Hon C S McCall of Bennettsville
was in town Tuesday.
From here he went out into the
country, where he spent the day.
Thanksgiving- day passed very
quietly here and pleasantly too.
Most places of business were
closed. The doors of the dispensary
were not opened. Consequently
there was no drinking.
Hunting was the chief diversion
of the men, though little game
was brought back. A pair of
sportsmen walked all day and
reported on their return that
only three birds were seen. In
some mysterious way the feather
denizens of the woods seem to
have learned that the day would
be a good one "for them to lie
low".
Messrs H G Askins", W S
Moore and S M Ask ins had Very
bad luck on their squirrel hunt
at Santee Wednesday of* last
week. They bagged but few
squirrels and didn't have the opportunity
of following- the example
of Messrs H C Godwin
and H V Epps, to wit: buying
the animals and passing them
of as the fruit of their own
marksmanship.
Misses Olivia and Louise
Stuckey went over to Sumter
Thursday night to attend the
festivities in that busy little
city.
The school children were given
holiday Thursday and Friday
and they made good use of
the opportunity of enjoying
themselves, free from the dread
of zeros.
Mr T C Covington went to
Bennettsville Wednesday to
visit until Monday, when he was
again at his post in the school

Mrs Britton, whose health is not
good, accompanied her husband |

that the change may prove ben

Britton says he was robbed as
he was boarding the train. Going
into the car several menj
jostled him. Soon afterwards :

matter to the gate-keeper, who, |

NEGROES ARRESTED.
Charged With Serious Crimes Commit-'
ted at Santee Crossing:
For some time past there have ;
been committed various acts of ;
lawlesslness at Santee crossing, !
on the G & W R R, and at last it j
seems that the miscreants are in j
a fair way to be punished. Only
a tow weeks ago Mr T A Blakeley
's store at that point was
burned and it was strongly suspected
that an incendiary applied
the torch.
Again on Wednesday night
of last week the house of Mr T S
Stuart, who is the manager of
Mr W T Rowell's store, was en
tereci ana roooea of a $yu ctiecK
and $10 in cash, and on Sunday
night following' Mr Rowell's
store was broken into and
robbed of about $25 worth of
merchandise. On. a warrant
sworn out before Magistrate W
B McCants John Brown, a negro
living in the neighborhood, was
arrested, and some of the goods
being found in his posession,
he was brought here Tuesday by
Messrs Rowell and Welch and
committed to jail. Brown confessed
having broken into the
store and implicated another
negro, one William Coe, who he
said had a hand in the burning
of Mr Blakeley's store. Should
it be proven that these are the
guilty parties the punishment
that will be meted out to them
will no doubt have a salutary influence
upon the law-breaking
element of Santee Crossing.
Entered Into Rest.
t
Mr John W Nelson died last
Saturday evening at his home
near Church postoffice and was
buried on Sunday afternoon at
Indiantowa church, the funeral
services being conducted by the
pastor, Rev Mr Darnell. He had
been in feeble health for some
mi-knfVio nnrl hie lacf iJln^cc wac
iUVil UUU *A*W MVWW
of about two weeks duration. A
large crowd of relatives and
sympathizing friends gathered
to pay the last tribute to one
whom they all held in loving esteem.
Mr Nelson was born in Clarendon
county and was about
seventy-six years of age. While
a young man he came' to
Williamsburg to teach school*
which avocation he pursued
throughout his life and there
are scores of his former pupils
in this and contiguous counties
who can bear testimony to the
zeal and efficiency with which
he fulfilled his high and honorable
calling. For length of service
he prooably held the record
for Williamsburg- county, Having
taught almost continuously
for nearly half a century. From
early manhood all his life was
spent in Williamsburg with the
exception of a few years in Arkansas.
His wife, who survives him,
was Miss Sara Anne Snowden,
and he ?lso leaves two sons,
Messrs Harvey W and John W
Nelson.
Mr Nelson was a gentleman of
the old regime, a type fast passing
away. Kind and courteous
to all and blessed with a serene
and cheerful temperament, he
made many warm friends, by
whom his death is felt as a personal
loss.
If success in life be measured
by good deeds accomplished,
wbo can say that at the last
' * ? ? J A, - T 11 I
great aaywnen juugmem mjuu
be pronounced according to the
works done in the flesh, the
name of this man, whose life
was devoted to the elevation of
his fellow-men, will not, like
that of Ben Adhem, be among
those that "lead all the rest"?
FIGHT WILL BE BITTER.
Those who will persist in closing
their ears against the continual .recommendation
of Dr King's New
Discovery for Consumption, will
have a long and bitter fight with ,
their trouble!*, if not ended earlier ,
by fatal termination. Read what
T R Beall of Beall, Miss, has to say?
"Last fall my wife had every .symptom
of consumption. She took I)r
King's New Discovery after every-,1
thing else failed. Improvement!
came at once and four bottles en--;
