Mrs. Armor Addresses Large Audience In the First Baptist Church. Mrs. Armor who is making a lec? ture tour of the State In the Interest of the South Carolina Anti-Saloon League, addressed an audience of three hundred or more in the First Baptist church Tuesday night. Size of the audience on a rainy night and when there was another meeting in the city In which many were interest? ed best demonstrates the deep inter? est that has been awakened In the prohibition cause and strong senti? ment that Is being ended in favor of voting out the dispensary. Mrs. Armor is a most interesting talker and she handled the liquor problem with gloves off. She made a logical and convincing argument from certain fundamental principles which she laid down at the outset. The tenor of her argument was that liquor Is an evil and must be elimi? nated absolutely, that the way to erad? icate the evil Is to outlaw it, that the attempt to regulate the liquor traffic Lj a compromise with evil and that those who vote to license or legalize the sale of liquor are equally as guilty as those who sell it. She also proved conclusively, her premises being granted, that the revnue derived from the sale of liquor, either by the li? cense system or dispensary is really a loss to the community, and that the community that prohibits the sale of liquor is financially better off than those that do not. EXCITMENT IN MAYESVILLE. Sheriff Epperson Called on Tuesday Night to Rescue Prisoner. From The Daily Item, April 28th. Last night about 7:30 o'clock Sheriff W. H. Epperson received a telephone message from Mayesville requesting him to come at once to that town or to send his deputy to take charge of a negro who been arrested and com? mitted to the guard house for mur? derous assault on a white man. The message stated that feeling against the negro was running high and that there was talk of lynching on the part Of the friends of the man who had heen assaulted. The negroes, the mes? sage stated were ev.clted, and were gathering to protect the negro from the would-be lynchors, and that there was some danger ol a riot. Deputy Sheriff Sykes went over to Mayesville but upon his arrival found e\ ( rything quiet, the excitement hav? ing subsided, the council of the cooler heads among the leading citizens of the town having been heeded by the more exclteable. The negro, Lindsay Conyers, was brought to this city last niKht and committed to Jail. The cause of the disturbance is stated as follows: Lindsay Conyers, the negro, was employed at the mill of the Linson Lumber Co., was reprimanded by Mr. John Cunningham for carelessnes and hot words passed between them. When Mr. Cunningham turned htl back on Conyers, he seized a 2 by 4 scantling and struck Mr. Cunningham on the head, laying open the scalp to the bone and rendering him uncon? scious. Conyers then took refuge In a near by negro cabin and when an attempt to arrest him, he resisted and drew a Colt's Automatic pistol, which he was prevented from using only by the fortunate coincidence that, the safety catch was on and he did not know how to release It. He was over? powered and taken to the guard house, being pretty roughly handled in the process. It was following the arrest that the excitement was great? est and the threats of lynching and riot were made. A Lively Gnmc.

TION' KAPIDLY DISPATCHED. Lecture on Art by Mrs. Jean Stans bnry Holden the Feature of the Day?A Successful Literary and Musical Session Wednesday Night. The Convention of Women's Clubs reassembled in the Court House at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon after at? tending the dainty luncheon given in the Armory by the Cultus Club, complimentary to the delegates. The afternoon session was devoted exclu? sively to business and a vigorous at? tack was made on the programme. Interesting reports were made by Miss Theodosia Dargan, Mrs. H. M. Grim ball and Mrs. A. F. McKissick, the chairmen of the Departments of Edu? cation, Domestic Science and Forestry and Civics respectively. The reports were received and the discussions that followed the reading of each report were participated in by a number of the delegates. The programme for the afternoon session was not com? pleted, as it was found necessary to adjourn at an earlier hour than antici? pated in order that the delegates might accept the invitation of the local entertainment committee to go drivfng. Automobiles and carriages were provided for all the delegates and more than an hour was spent pleas? antly In driving over the city and su? burbs. Music and Literature. The evening session, which was held In the Opera House was given up to a literary and musical entertainment arranged and directed by Miss Louise B. Poppenheim, chairman of the De? partment of Literature and Recipro? city and Mrs. R. W. Glbbes, chairman of the Department of Music. The Opera House was filled with a brilliant and cultured audience, and the many exquisite gowns that were seen flatly contradicted the Idea that to be a club woman Is to lose the love of dress, for which the women of other times were noted. The entertainment, the programme of which is given below, was a most delightful and charming one, and de? spite the length of the programme, the audience never lost Interest. The most pleasing numbers on the pro? gramme were the piano solos by Miss McNeill, the singing by Miss Alexan? der and Mr. W. S. Schumacher's vio? lin solos.

The convention was called to ordei In the Court House at 10:30 o'clock and the regular order of business wa? taken up with the report of Mrs. L. T. Nichols, chairman of the Library De? partment. The report contained sev? eral practical recommendations whicb were discussed at length and with I considerable degree of animation. Mrs. A. F. McKissicrt. chairman of the Industrial School Committee sub? mitted an interesting report, as did Miss Mary Wickliffe, chairman of the Art and Handicraft Department. Mrs. Jean Stansbury Holden, of Tryon, X. C, who Is the guest of the Federation, delivered a most interest? ing and Instructive lecture on Art. Mrs. Holden did not enter into an esthetic or technical discussion of art but gave a practical account of the successful efforts that have been made In a large city?Detroit, Mich., her former home?and In Tryon, N. C,? a tiny village?where she now resides, to popularize art. Her description of the modest beKinnfngs of the greai museum of art that Is now the pride Of Detroit was not more interesting than her account of the recent estab? lishment of an art loan exhibit and library In Tryon. The contrast was striking and Impressive, but the in? spiration was the same In either case and the results attained were equally a* great and gratifying in the little town as In the great city, compara? tively speaking. Although Mrs. Holden was too j modest to say so In her lecture, it is a fact well known that she was the moving spirit in the effort to estab? lish Detroit's first art loan exhibit and the museum of art and that to her is due a large share of the credit for Detroit's great Institution as well sg for Tryon's tiny art gallery, which Is filled with a few treasures that would do credit to a great art gal? lery. At the conclusion of Mrs. Holden's lecture she was enthusiastically ap? plauded. The regular order of business was resumed and the following sections of the programme were disposed of: Report of Reclporcity Department, Miss Louise B. Poppenhelm, chair? man. Report of Kindergarten Depart? ment, Mrs. B. A. Morgan, chairman. Report of Keystone, by Miss Louise B. Poppenhelm. Report 01 President's Recommen? dations. At 1 o'clock luncheon was served a: the Armory by the Civic League. The business session was resumed. at 2 o'clock. Wednesday evening from 9 to 11 the Club Women were entertained at a re? ception at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Edmunds, given by the Civic League. Mrs. Emma X.
