Facts About the Meeting of the Fed? eration. For the benefit of many persons who do not seem to understand some facts relating to the convention of Federated Women's Clubs, which will be In sess'on here two weeks hence, the following statement Is made. The money to be used for the ex? penses of this meeting is not to be taken from the nurse fund or the general sinking fund of the Civic League, but was made and kept sep? arate for this specific purpose and In no \*ay Interferes with the Important local work of the League. And money spent In thl^ entertain? ment will not leave the town, but will be districted among our own busl nes* people. The Federation was Invited to Sum ter because representatives from here have been repeatedly entertained on like occasions In other places, and there Is no other city In the State the size of Sumter that has not Invited | the Federation. Such a meeting must be of much benefit to any place and any one who will attend the sessions (which are all open to the public) must learn a gieat deal of the work done by ^hls body of intelligent wo? men, representing 74 federated clubs of South Carolina doing active work In ? ivies, literature, music, art an 1 the departments of health and sanita? tion.

I**ins of Interest Gathered in aud Around the City. O'Donnell & Co. have a readable and seasonable advertisement today that will be the means of saving money to many shoppers. The Easter trade made heavy in? roads upon the stock of the D. J. Chandler Clothing Co., but as new goods are still being received daily the man or boy who wants a spring outfit can find what he wants there. The bids on the new postoffice will be opened on Monday next and It Is thought that work on the building will begin within ninety days. Al? lowing a year for the construction of the building, which is not too much time for a job of this sort, the building will be occupied in the late summer of 1910. The plans show that the building will be very handsome and imposing structure of pressed brick with granite and sand stone trimmings and red tile roof. There will be two entrances, one on Main and the other on Caldwell street. The floor of the lobbey wll be laid with marble mosaic and the finish will be In hard wood throughout. The structure will be as nearly fire proof as it is possible to make a building. The sales of the local dispensary for March were $1,792.20 greater than for March, 190$. Dispenser Wind ham says that the increased sales are due. In his opinion, to the patronage irom Clarendon County. Rev. P. A. Baker, D.

A poor woman's act of kindness has brought her an unexpected re? ward under a romantic legacy which a king of England granted to a sub? ject over 250 years} ago. The story of the legacy's origin is famous. Flying from the battle of Worcheater, in 1651, King Charlys II, was hidden from the pursuing soldiers amid the foliage of an oak tree by a farmer named Richard Penderel. The king's gratitude took the form of six perpetual legacies, granted to Richard Penderel and other members cf his family. Two were of ?100 a year, the others of slightly over ?50. These legacies have come down through many generations, links be? ing lost here and there, heirs oc? casionally disappearing. Some time ago Mrs. Cassln. the wife of a London cab driver, appear? ed at the office of Messrs. Petch & Co., solicitors, having read of a Pen? derel legacy last July. Nine years ago. she said, her brother. John Pen? derel, a fruit porter, died, leaving a little daughter four y^ars old unpro? vided for. Although she had no children of her own and it was a struggle to make both ends meet, Mrs. Cassin adopted the little girl to save her from the workhouse. Her brother, she said, had spoken of an annuity which had come down to him from King Charles II, but her Impression Asa* that the pension ceased at his death. Application to the courts and to trustees followed, and recently the dead man's little daughter was held to be a legal successor to her father's pension, which amounts to nearly ?1 a week. Mrs. Cassln's kindness to the lit? tle niece was rewarded by a sum of over ?200, which had accrued In the hands of the t:ustees. In addition she was created the guardian of the child.?Tit-Bits. Governor Shallenberger, of Nebras? ka, on Thursday signed a bank gnnr anty bill to take effect July 1. It is a limited guaranty as distinguished from th. Oklahoma law, where all the assets of all the banks are back of the guaranty, in Nebraska only a mi.all portion is utilized.

Beeadenre In Drama Is Poisoning All Forma Of Entertainment and In? creases While It Reflects tlie Cor? ruption of the People. Success Magazine has a most in? teresting article on "The Trail of the Tenderloin" in the current issue, an article on the decadence of the stage which Is calculated to rouse the peo? ple of this country to the realization of the dangers that menace them. This article lays the blame for the condition of things especially on New York's tenderloin, which passes on all plays that go out on the road, and those which are pleasing to the de? praved taste of those abnormal, de? praved people are the only plays that stand a chance. This country is be? ing educated down to the level of the tenderloin, they are given all the smut that they will stand and as they tole? rate more and more, the dose Is in? creased. The moving pictures and all other public entertainments follow their lead, and the trail of the tender? loin is over everything. Styles and fashions for years have been led by the New York tenderloin. Modesty and even chastity is no longer regard? ed as a virtue. Anything that oppos? es the free riot of the licentious is called most contemptously "high browed." The trail of the tenderloin is over everything, and especially ov? er the women of the country, who have been for generations fretting over their bonds of slavery to con? ventions." Another matter that is forcefully brought to the attention of the read? ers of that Journas is the fact that the terderloin Is not wholly the blase elements of lust glutted New York, but one of the largest elements in that support is from the Southern and Western man who goes to New York on business and pleasure bent, and who wants to take a dip into naughti? ness. The remark is made that of all the worst features of the tenderloin, none is so bad as "the deacon on a spree." There is but one remedy, and that is for decent people to absolutely re? fuse to patronize any of these enter? tainments that by pictures, poses, dia" logues, lack of dressing, gestures and any and all ways, make appeals to physical passions and to the baser senses. The men who manage the theatrical trust are given a vicious roast, they Insist that they must live, but the writer of this article insists that it would be a great deal better of the country if they did not live, U least, not In such a position of pOWCf to corrupt the country. The public may find relief in man? aging their own theatricals, shutting >ut the trust altogether. It is point? ed out that the boys and girls of the country are being ruined, that moral? are being broken down, and that ev? erything else is following in the trail of the tender'oln through the Influ? ence of the stage and mankind's nat? ural viciousnes8 and inclination to things that are not clean and nice. A licentious stage represents a li? centious and corrupt people, and the tim ^ has come for reformation when the public patronizes "the naked drama*' and the most shocking of ex? hibitions. Attention Is also called to the fact that the failure of the legitimate dra? ma is not due so much to the fact that the people do not want it as it is to the fact that the stage managers do not know how to put decent things on the stage and the public re? cognizes their failure in this, not in Shakespeare. The article has attracted a great le d of attention in the country and literal extiacts are being published from -t. The movement for a refor? mation in Xew York is strong and there is hope of the country aiding that movement. Vice-Consul Pnbbitt. of Yokol.oma. makes the statement that "Japan ll aim ins to and will eventually be able to supply its home requirements for manufactured goods, and be aide to compete with foreign countries In the markets of China and the Far Baal gent-rally." Mr. babbitt submits a talde showing the investment of no leas than $950,000,000 in new and en? larged enterprises in Japan during the laat four years. More than a quarter of the amount is credited to manufacturing interests. "This," he ?ays, "represents toe expansion since the war with Busala.*' in 1896 there weic in Japan pome 1,867 industrial concerns, showing a total paid-up capital of about $46,000,000. The figures et' 1906 Show nearly twice as many c< ncerns and a 1 Increase In paid-up capital $193,000,000, The moal notable increase is in cotton eoods, A man must marry before he can fully realise how many faults he has.

A Turkish Liberal Strangled and His 'Head Sent to Abdul-Humid. In a recent number of the Ameri? can Magazine, X. C. Adossides] wrote, from personal observations: and private knowledge, a remarkable character sketch of the sultan of Turkey. Among other things he told a story of how the sultan is known to have taken human life with his own hands. The article was called inquestlon by a Plttsburg critic. Here Is a part of Mr. Adossides* answer: "I ask you before going further, if you know the sultan personally. If you answer yes, then I shall hasten to reply that if his majesty has en? chanted and delighted you with his cunning, charming manner, you are not the only dupe of Abdul-Hamid, as hundreds of people that I could enumerate to you have been in the same manner deceived by this tricky, genial, Asiatic despot. The sultan's cruel and criminal policy is nothing new to the world. I shall even call it a history of the past which has been stigmatized by all fair people of humane feelings that love justice and freedom. "I should rather advise you to read the Blue Books of the British foreign oftice published in 1905, 1906 and 1907, and also become familiar with ths speeches by the great old Mr. Gladstone; in the house of commons as prime minister of Great Britain he had the courage to call Abdul-Hamid 'the greatest assassin of all assassins.' "Can you deny to me, tslr, the Ar? menian massacres, or are you aware that 360,000 people have jeen anni? hilated by Abdul-Hamid and his odi? ous, criminal camarilla? If you do not deny the Armenian massacres, how then, can you defend Abdul-Ha? mid, and be astonished for my say? ing that he has killed this young Cir? cassian odalisque for a trilling inci? dent which I have described In this irtic'.e of mine and which was nar? rated to me by a Turkish ambassa? dor now abroad at one of the Euro? pean courts, who was on duty in the lobbies of the palace the night of the occurrence. "Besides, sir, you must not forget that not only the Armenians have suffered by this tyranny 3f political and racial suffocation. The Moham? medans also, the Turks themselves, have endured untold agoniee of which the world knows little; but the time is coming when these things will become public for the benefit of all. "I advise you to read the memoirs if the great Liberal Prime Minister Midhat Pasha, the father of the Otto? man constitution, a person il friend of my late father, with whom he had worked a great many years, and let? ters of whom are today in my pos issclon, I advise you to read thlr book, 'because I want you to read the story told by his son as how his futh er, Mid hat Pasha, was strangled and. his head sent to Abdul-Hamid, in or? der that he would be certain that this great, liberal man, an obstacle to himself, had disappeared. "Before closing I must add that you are one of the very, very few de? fenders of Abdul-Hamid left on the surface of the earth. His gratest rascals, who have stolen and robbed him for thirty years, hate him. We have suffered too much in order not to be irritated at the idea that Abdul Hamid could be defended." DEFEAT FOR GARLINGTON. Motion to Dissolve Attachment Upon His Uunens County Lands Dis? missed. % t Columbia, April 14.?Judge Hy? dride today signed an order dismiss? ing a motion made by attorneys for I John Y. Garlington to dissolve an at , tachment upon his lands. This means . that the lands in Laurens County j owned by Garlington, well known In connection with the "Seminole case." j are attached under the writ as issued at the instance of the Carolina j Agency, a company doing business j in this State for the State Mutual In? surance Company of Rome, Ga. The Csrolina Agency in its complaint al? leges that Garlington owes it not lese than $25,000, and an accounting of his conduct of its affairs while treas? urer and general manger of the com? pany. Affidavits in this case were submitted by W. A. Clark of this city, who was president of the agency. The points of law decided in Judge Hydrick's opinion construe the stat? utes of this State as to writs of at? tachment Counsel for Garlington, A. C. Toud, of Laurens, argued before Judge Hydrick that Inasmuch as the case is one of an equitable nature an attachment cannot hold. Judge Hy ) drick in dismissing Mr. Todd's mo? tion for dissolving the attachment holds that the statute in its present form Is so worded that the present case comes under it There are a number of interesting legal points in? volved in the order. The attachment proceedings were instituted through the local Arm of Logan & Edmunds, and this is quite a victory for them. Xo first class phonograph is ash? amed of its record.
