The Feast of the Red Corn.
"The Feast of the Red Corn," an
ndian Cantata for women's voices
k'as presented at the school audi- ?
orium on Friday night by the Music W
Jepartment of the school. About one
lundred dollars was realized from the ?
loor receipts, which sum will be used L(
o pay for a music cabinet, which has
een a long felt want.
The performance was a brilliant
uccess in every way. The costumes
cere artistic and attractive and the
horuses showed the careful training
f their indefatigable leader, Miss
Crockett. Never has there been bet- ~
er choral singing at the Kingstree
chool than was rendered on this ocasion.
There was not a hitch in the
yhole program, and no detail that
ould have added to the success of
he play had been overlooked, includng
well thought out lighting effects. p(
Miss Crockett herself acted the
eading role of the Indian queen and
ier voice and dramatic ability showed
o advantage in this difficult part. _
ane liiiiand piayea tne part 01 tne p<
nischievous younger sister of the
lueen with charming effect. The role
f the old Indian sorceress called for
food acting and was most successfully p<
aken by Ola DuBose. The three litle
children of the queen, Ruby Mc'utchen,
Julia Montgomery, and Susie _
Jrown, captured all hearts. W

rs. H. C. Crawford who occupies a *
irt of Mrs. Wolfe's residence, for it *
ems, they had anticipated his com- >
g and set a trap for him. Mr. Owl J
id been making regular nocturnal *
sits to this hennery until, it is esti- ?
ated, he had carri^j^)ff no less than | \
irty chickens, so at last a trap was *
t for him and Monday night the *
ap caught him. He put up a brave \
id vicious fight when Mrs. Wolfe J
id Mrs. Crawford went out and found ?
m with one leg being held fast by ,
e trap, and so vicious and affective J
as his defense that he had finally ?
be dispatched from the end of a
ng pole. He measured from t?p to \
p fifty-four inches and stood about ?
ghteen inches tall, with a set of ?
twerful claws that are as sharp as \
>edles. *
