MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO ERECT $12,000 STRUCTURE?COMMITTEE AT WORK SOLICITING Fl'NBS. A movement to build a new. modern house of worship has taken definite form anions the members of Kintfstree Methodist church, and to that end a comnrttee lias been appointed to solicit subscriptions to the building fund. This committee, composed of seven members, lias gone actively to work among the membership of the church and the success that has attend- ; ed their efforts is indeed gratify-1 ing. It is proposed to build a church to cost about $12,000! and already, we understand, at least one half ot that amount has been pledged. i That this is a most commend-! able enterprise on the part of the Methodists ot Kingstree goes without saying. The cause speaks for itself arwd nothing that we can say would add to its worthiness. To speak plainly, the com-j paratively shabby church struc-1 tures of our town have long been ! a reflection on the Christian j people ot Kingstree. Strangers coming here are struck with the contrast oetween our public buildings and many elegant residences and do not understand this condition. In fact, it is a condition that should not obtain and is therefore hard to explain. That there is as large a pro- J portion of God-fearing, Christian J people in Kingstree as can be j found in any other community j of the same size, we believe to1 be beyond question, but the fact j is very evident that their spirituality has not taken coo- j crete form in the building of handsome houses of worship. We are glad indeed to see an effort at least to remove this reproach from our community. Observation in other com munities convinces, us that should the Methodists succeed in their praiseworthy enterprise the other denominations wil! in a short while follow the example before them and build new and handsome churches. All it needs is for one congregation to show that the project is feasible. As a material asset to our town (while this is the lowest form of incentive) it would pay every business man to subscribe liberally to the building fund of any church edifice, regardless of denomination. We hope that the Methodists will succeed even -0*g ^"m"S LNEWG GOODS, LADIES INGSTRE <0 0* ^ .0> 00^ ^ 00 . !* ? ?. beyond their expectations in raising monev for their new i building. Their plan isapractijcalone and if they be in earnest?as we have no doubt they are?it is only a question of time when Kinifslree can boast of at least one church building in : , keeping with the town. . God speed the day! COMPANY OF SINGING GIRLS Gave High Class Concert Monday * ? n.i a ? tveninq ai aunuui Auuiiunmii. The College Singing (lirls and 1 Walter Eccles, the tir.st entertainment of the lyceum course,. j was greeted by i fair-sized jaudience at the school audi- j, ! torium Monday night. The | eight pretty, golden-voiced; young women were evidently { fresh in the lyceum field, yet i ! they showed none of the gau-1 jcherie of beginners, playing! | their parts smoothly, with the i skill of of seasoned veterans and the impressment of youth i and enthusiasm. ; The College Girls' programme is varied and elaborate, rang-1 ing all the way from plantation ( melodies to grand opera. The company is said to be a new one, out on its first tour, and the opening performance was given here Monday evening. Mr Walter Eccles, as monolo-' gist and impersonator, was, unusually tine and every number j lie presented was enthusiastic- j ally received. Mr Charles Pear- j sail, the musical director and 7 I accompanist, showed marvelous facility in adapting his scores | to the wide variety ot subjects embraced in the programme. On the whole, the company is j the strongest lyceum attraction j that has ever been seen here: and Mr .1 D Gilland, the enter-J prising manager of the local j lyceum, is due the thanks of the J community for affording the i people an opportunity to enjoy j such high class talent at home and at a reasonable price. While the attendance Monday j evening was fairly good, the "'College Girls" really deserved a better patronage than was accorded them there.

The Kingstree Graded and High school opened on the lhth with the best attendance in the history of the school. In the high school department there are over 50 enrolled, and we trust this year will be a "record breaker" long to be remembered. We have fourteen enrolled in the tenth grade, which is the largest in the record of our school. 1T7 ,? >V C* WCI'C VCl) ^lau L<_? iiuyv. enter our class Mis^Lillie Mcintosh. of Mouzon. 1 C., but are sorry to note that she was taken ill the second day of school, and has not yet returned. We hope to have her with us again soon. We are glad to have Miss Emma Cooper, a young lady of the tenth grade, with us again. Emma was taken ill the latter part of last year, and deserves credit for being able to go on with her class mates. The library was opened Monday, and the librarians began lending out books. We trust it will be patronized more this year than last, although the librarian was kept busy last term. The tenth grade held a class meeting Wednesday of last week and elected the following officers tor the ensuing term. Sam Stackley, president; Vivian Wheeler, vice president; Blooma Kennedy, secretary; Tommie GillaDd, treasurer. We have had quite a number of visitors this week. On Monday, Misses Annie Stackley, Florrie Jacobs and Jimmie Britton. On Tuesday, Misses Ada Brockington, Clara Montgomery, Lula Brockington, Mary Swann, Lillian Salters, of Salters, Annie Jenkins, of Virginia. We hope they will continue to come throughout the entire session. Miss Estelle Campbell, our efficient music instructor, and Miss Alice Beckham, the popular fifth and sixth grade teacher, spent the week-end with relatives in Florence. The Wee Nee literaTy society will hold its first regular meeting in the society hall Friday afternoon at 4:30 oclock. We hope to make this the most prosperous year in the history ->f the sncietv.
