The millinery openings at the de-: partment stores of the Kingstree Dry | Goods Co and Mr S Marcus last Fri-! iay and Saturday were convincing proof that a great revolution in the styles of women's hats has taken place during the past year. Really this is practically true of every season, for there are few women who would condescend to make their last fall's hat answer for this fall's wear, because it is out of style?a back number?although it may be perfectly serviceable and from a point of beauty far surpass the later style. The subject of this write-up, however, is the hats of the present season, which show that designers or persons who formulate the styles from year to year have made great changes within the past twelve months and simply revolutionized shanks and trimmincrs to such an ex Lent that there is no similarity between the hats of the present season and those that were very stylish one or two years ago. White and black are the prevailing colors, and the hats are small, tailored effects in velvet or plush, with pompons or "stick-ups," as the predominating fad in ornamentation, while gros-grain ribbons have second place in popularity as a trimming. Turbans are fairly popular, as are also feather wings, but the large picture hat, with gaudy artificial flowers and evergreens and aigrets are back numbers, judging from the meager display of styles at the openings here last week. Notwithstanding the very inclement weather that came in with Friday and for a while seemed to keep the fair sex indoors, the openings were each pronounced a success by the respective dealers and by the ladies who attended this semi-annual festival. They were delighted apparently with the simplicity of the shapes and trimmings and were much easier to please in their selections than usual. Owing to a delay in delivery by the express company, Mrs Marcus did w>t receive some of her handsomest Gage hats for the regular display Friday and Saturday and continued her oDenine through Mon- j day and Tuesday of this week.

XXX The governor belt at the St Matthews oil mill broke one day last week and the big flywheel burst. causing an explosion which partly wrecked the building. XXX Hamilton Carhartt, manufacturer of overalls. Atlanta, Ga, has offered to take 5,000 bales of cotton at ten cents a pound, under certain conditions. ' XXX The College of Orangeburg, Orangeburg, S C, has been forced to close its doors on account of the small attendance caused by the low price of cotton resulting from the European war. XXX Baroness De Basus, formerly Mrs Frank Leslie, whose first'husband was the founder of the well-known Leslie publications, died in New York last week. A considerable portion of her fortune, estimated at $2,000,000, was left to further the cause of woman's suffrage. XXX 1 The State supreme court has declared illegal the bond issue of $60,000 for an improved water and light plant at Orangeburg. The court holds that the bonds are illegal because they were voted on "for water and for light," whereas separate bonds should have been voted on for each commodity.
