First Lieutnant Fishburne who intended going, was kept at home by business, much to the regret of the members of the company. The natatorium will not be affected by the rearrangement of the tracks in the A. C. L. yard, as that part of the railroad property in which the natato? rium is situated will not be needed for the new tracks. Delgar Reel Squad will go to New? berry prepared to win the prize and if the track is good the record made in Wilmington last year will be broken, The team that will go to Newberry !is believed to be the fastest that the squad ?has ever sent to a fireman's tournament.

The regular meeting of the City Council was held Wednesday night. All members were present except Mr. G. j F. Epperson. Mr. C. M. Hurst, Jr., the Clerk, having been granted a leave of absence to attend a Knights of Pythias meeting in Spartanburg, his place was filled by Mr. Purdy, who acted as clerk pro tem. The usual routine business was at? tended to, but nothing of interest was taken up, except that Messrs. Pareira, Solomons and Caldwell made an offer for renting the Opera House for one year on terms more favorable than heretofore offered to the city, and the matter was referred to the committee on public works, with instructions to communicate with these gentlemen and recommend a memorandum of agreement to be submitted to Council for ratification. Council also ordered the purchase of another carload of pipe for laying drains. The Clerk was directed to give no? tice to the various corporations hav? ing poles on Main Street to remove same, under the direction of the City Council, Council having decided to have the street surveyed and, as near as possible, to have the poles properly placed. Money for Pensioners. Clerk of Court Nash received the money for the pensioners yesterday and is now ready to pay it out to those who are entitled to it. The pension? ers in this county number 174, divided into classes as follows: Class A, 1; Class B, 6; Class C, No. 1, 12; Class C, No. 2, 86; Class C, No. 3, 22: Class C, No. 4, 47.

The graded school square was crowd? ed Thursday afternoon with the folks who love to hear good music, and. who appreciate the efforts of the young men who. compose the band. The mu? sic was even better than usual. Hereafter the weekly concerts will be given on Wednesday afternoon.

I quickly secured a bottle of One tfioate Consb Core, giving ber tnret potet The croup w?a mattered ?od our little darlto* epeedily recovered". So .ur ri rea A L Soiff-'d. Chester, Vicb.-J S Hngb?oD k Co The heavy rains following in such rapid succession have flooded the country and from all sections of the county come reports of damage to crops. Fields that are under ordinary conditions well drained, are now under water and it is believed that the crops will be drowned before the water can be drained off. All farm work has been stopped, grass is taking posses? sion of the fields. The situation of the crops is critical and the damage al? ready done is serious. The outlook for a good crop is as unfavorable as it could be and the farmers are talking of a half crop as the best they hope for this year. It will be an advantage to the pub? lic rather than an injury to close Main Street at the railroad crossing, and the railroad was wise in making the request, as was City Council in granting it. The Manning Avenue crossing is so near that no one will be inconvenienced by closing Main Street at the crossing and a regular death trap will be abolished. The proposition of the railroad in reference to granting a portion of their property for the continuation of Divine Street from Manning Avenue to Main Street is fair and liberal and when this street is opened and crossing gates, at which a flagman will be stationed, are placed at the Manning Avenue crossing the situation will be a great improvement over that at present existing. There is one feature of the plan for the new depot that could be improved by a change. The proposed plan will require the trains on the Central R. R. to back into the depot. If the track from the junction of the old C. S. & N. R. R. and Central R, R. to the junction of the W. C. & A. and C. S. N. was rebuilt the trains on the Central R. R. could go into the depot over the main line and there would be no necessity for backing in and out. This change in plan seems per? fectly feasable, for all that is neces? sary is a switch similar to the one i now connecting the W. C. & A. track j with the C. S. & N. track. ^That's Your Pace "BTortli.

The fair young ladies of the "Mys? terious 13" gave their first reception at the residence of Dr. Hughson Tues? day evening and despite the rain which poured in torrents from dusk until far into the night, was a complete suc? cess. Ten young ladies in evening costume were present to greet their guests and though these included more than a score of young gentlemen, proved themselves such good hostesses that no one would have known without actual count, but that there was a fair friend for each. The young ladies showed themselves to be as good practical house keepers as they were hostesses by the delight? ful refreshments served. That the lat? ter were enjoyed by all it is needless to say. So swiftly did the evening pass that the guests came near having to say their adieux in the dark. No one suspected that the evening was so far spent that only a few minutes more and the electric lights which ren? dered things so bright would desert them. To say that the evening was delightful leaves much to be expressed. All look foward with pleasant antici? pations to the next and say and think nice things of the pretty laces and charming manners of the "Mysterious Thirteen." THE BLOODHOUNDS. Pair Ordered by Police Have Arrived. The pair of trained blood hounds purchased from a Lexington, Ky., breeder and trainer by the police force arrived in good condition last week. Both of the dogs are through breds and registered. They are guar? anteed to be the best stock in the country and to have been thoroughly trained to follow a man's trail as long as there is a scent for them to pick up. The dogs are large, and ,from a bloodhound point of view, very hand some animals. The pair cost $225 and express, and they are said to be cheap at that price considering the stock they come from and the train? ing they have received. As soon as they have time to aecover from the trip they will be ^aken out on a trial run and given a test, on both fresh and cold trails so that an idea can be formed as to what they can do when they are wanted to .inn down a criminal.
