Ths flrst feature on the day's pro?
gramme was an open air concert given

ment by Mets's band from Charles?

cession of the assembled pupils
through the streets.
The exercises in the auditorium
were opened with prayer by the Rev.
J. A. Anatsy and an address of wel?
come on behalf of the town by J. H.

NO LIGHT, NO PLAY.
Fire at Manning Electric Plant Causes
Inconvenience.
Manning". April 14.?Late yesterday
afternoon fire proke out In the boiler
shed of the Manning electric light
plant, but the Are department's
prompt and efficient work checked the
flames before great damage was done.
A considerable part of the overhead
structure was burned, sufficient to put
the plant out of commission for the
night. The pecuniary loss was nomi?
nal, but there was great disappoint?
ment because the failure of the lights
necessitated the postponement of a
charming little "Mother Goose" play
by the primary pupils of the graded
school that was billed for last night.

A BENEFIT LECTURE.
The ladles of Sumter are soon to
snjoy a rare treat.
Dr. Sophia Brunson is going to lec?
ture on "How the Young May Stay
Young, and The Old May Grow Young
Again." Dr. Brunson Is eminently
ntted for this work, having studied
four years at the Great Battle Creek
Sanltorium. which has long led the
world not only In the cure, but in the
prevention of diseases.
Dr. Brunson's articles on "Health
and Beauty" which were published for
sometime In the News and Courier
were widely read and much appreciat?
ed by those who had been seeking in
vain for practical information along
these lines from the current stereo?
typed magazine articles.
Watph the paper for the place and
dates of the lecture. The proceeds
will go to the Ladles' Aid Society of
Graoe Baptist church.

Worth Careful Thought
Do you read the label to know whether
your baking; powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful
ness for low price.

Mr. G. R. Ward, manager of Levl
Bros, farm situated on the Moses road,
brought to this office this morning a
sample of Fulghum oats, from a
twenty acre held, that are now head?
ing out. Tho oats were planted the
latter part of October after a crop of
broadcast peas and were not fertiliz?
ed at all. The oats average three
and a-ha If feet in height and have
not attained full growth as yet. The
indications are that the oats will be
ready for harvest within four weeks
and that the yield will be heavy. This
field Is said to be the earliest and
finest crop of oats in the vicinity of

Talk of selling the City Hall build- |
ing is being revived. If tho city can
obtain a fair price for the property it
should be sold, but it should not be
sacrUlc ' just to get rid of it. The city
has something like $50,000 invested in
the property and it is worth consider?
ably more. Perhaps if the city sells
the property the new owners will re?
model the opera house, or if tho build?
ing 1h converted to other uses, the
way will be open for the erection of
a well designed and sate theatre. The
present Opera House is neither.
