Messrs Louis Cohen & Co announce to their Williamsburg patrons that their big department store is being remodeled and that their mammoth stock is going at a fraction of its real value. When completed the store will be 500 feet long, with to,000 feet of floor space. See ad.

Friday afternoon Miller McFadden,colored,of the Workman section, brought his two little children,aged respectively about I two and four years, to Drs Gamble and Jacobs for treatment for poisoning caused by eating Paris green. The little negroes were dangerously ill and it took sev- j eral hours of strenuous work to puil thein through. At last accounts they were getting along all right. A preliminary hearing in the case of the State vs P M Lee and C P and T H Johnson, charged with arson, was held in Lake City last Friday before Magistrate Eaddy. A probable case being made out, the defendants were bound over to the court of general sessions and the amount of the bond was tixed at $1,500 by Judge John S Wils n. The bond was at once arranged and the defendants were released. According to the published reports of stock on hand in the several counties operating county dispensaries, there was on June 30 only $6,010.44 in the three Williamsburg dispensaries. This is the smallest stock reported in any of the dispensary :ounties. The largest stock on sand is in Richland county, 564,448.38. This speaks well inieed for the conservative management of our county dispensary board. Correspondents will kindly Dear in mind that it is customary for the editor to write head lines to an article. There are several, reasons for this, the principal one being that they are arranged according to a regular Form which escapes the notice Df the average correspondent and consequently the headlines that he or she furnishes do not ronform to our regular style and nar the appearance of the printed page. The writing of leadlines is ot itself an art in cvhich it requires years of trainng to become proficient.

The "Union Depot" Played by Local Talent Makes a Hit i On Friday evening, July 16, ' the farce comedy, "The Union | Depot,"' was presented at the Thomas opera house by Miss Myrtle Mae Critchtield ot Indiana, assisted by about 75 Kingstree amateurs. The opera house was pretty well tilled and quite a neat sum realized I tor the Civif League, under the auspices of which the performance was given. The showwas well presented and showed that there had been much hard [studying done by the participants, as there had been only a , few rehearsals. 1 There was very much of a mixed cast in the "Union Depot" and all the parts were : played so well that it would be unjust to mention some and not all, which lack of space precludes. i The specialties were splen- i did. The show was opened J with "Red Wing," sung by a chorus in Indian costume. Another chorus, "Pride of the Prairie Mary,'" was given in cowboy's costume by eight' \ young ladies, which was en- 1 cored very liberally by the au- , dience. A fan drill and chorus 1 i by about twenty little girls was also nicely rendered. Two beautiful vocal solos, "Goodnight Sweet Dreams" by Miss Belle Ervin and "Glorious France," by Miss Eleanor Gourdin, elicited well deserved plaudits. Miss Harper performed on the piano. Miss Critchtield, who worked so faithfully getting up the play, deserves credit for the performance. Miss Critchfield is a young lady of winning personality and made lots of triends here during her short stay, who would be glad to see her return. Tortaret on a Horse.
