In fact our people have de? cided not to play second flddle to any country school within the county, and with that determination fixed in their minds, the fruit of their efforts will soon be realized. The play at Dalzell on Friday even? ing surpassed expectations. It was so much enjoyed by the spectators, that many of them are requesting the second presentation.

Mr Kolb became suspicious and telephoned to the po? lice and sheriff at Sumter to send some one out to invest kate, but no assistance was sent him. Later one of the men asked Mr. Kolb to allow him to put up his money In Mr. Kolb's safe, but this Mr. Kolb refus? ed to do. saying that he did not like to keep money for strangers. They then asked him to allow them to spend the night at his house, whic h be also refused to do, being thor? oughly conxlnced by now that the men Intended some harm 10 him or some? body in the nelghboi hood. One of the men went in the hack of the store and drew out a revolver. I ,mdully ex? amining t to see that it was in good condition. The men then loafed around awhile longer, until Mr. Kolb bad some men living in the vicinity aroused and set three of them to watch his store during the night, while he guarded his house. The men then went to the station and spent the night there, being guarded all the tune. They fre? quently made excursions about the place to see that no (M was tlo-n . and one of them lay |g the door of the station, seemingly on guard, all night In ||M morning after the train went by the two men were gggg to leave In tho dire, tteo I I Beminl.

Democrats Feared Vote on Tarif? Would be Much Closer. Washington, Sept. 9.?By general consent the victory of the administra? tion in the final vote on the Under? wood-Simmons tariff bill, in the senate this afternoon, exceeded ex? pectations. Up to the last few days it was greatly feared that the loss of one Democratic vote, as a result of the death of Senator Johnson, of Ala? bama, might put the bill at the mer? cy of any Democratic Senator who might happen to be dissatisfied, In addition to the senators from Lou? isiana, who had announced their re? fusal to abide by the caucus verdict. The votes of Senators La Follette and Poindexter, Progressive Republi? cans, in favor of the Democratic bin, were a decided surprise to the galler? ies, but those who had been watch? ing the trend of things closely from the Inside expected one or two more Progressive Repul .icans, like Keny on, of Iowa, and Works of California, for instance, to vote "aye." As usual, Seuator La Follette ob? tained the centre of the stage at the last moment and used it with all pos? sible effect. As the senate consumed four months in passing the tariff bill, which the house passed in one month, the prospect Is that the business of Considering the currency bill will car? ry the extra session up to the regular session next December, with one br?-ak except a three days at a time recess while the senate committee on currency Is holding hearings and working out its report. It is well understood that the pres? ident will insist on congress remaining here until a currency bill is adopted. DegpoMfloncy.
