In placing before the public a first class scenic and dramatic production of "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" Mr. J* Geo L. Palmer has supplied a long felt want. Ho has given the younger generation a chance to see this great moral drama, given by a competent coftpany of artists surrounded with every accessory which is necessary _ for a first class production. Foremost n i- ?.i .?_ i.r.i ?... - . iu mo vwi/ is iiuio verua marie, one of the greatest of child artists, who portrays Mary Morgan, the drunkard,s child.

On Sunday morniDg about 0 o'clock Bill Gunninghan colored shot and 1 instantly hilled another 10 year old negro boy, the son of Bee Hardy. " Gunninghan is about 11 years, old. The shooting was done with a shot gun, the load of shot entering the eye and coming out of ths head and entering the wall. These two boys were the only ones present at the time of the shooting. Bill Gunninghan claims that the Hardy boy did the shooting and killed himself, but the nature of the wound is such as to render that ^ statement improbable. It is probable that the boys were fooling with the gun and it was accidentally discharged. The shooting occurred on Mrs. Unis Kennedy's plaoe about 4 miles west of Jonesville. The Coroner held an inquest on the body late Sunday evening. Y. M. C. A. Convention. The Annual State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Assocla tions of South Carolina will convene this year in Columbia Feb. 8-11. The gathering already bids fair to be one of considerable strength. It will differ in many respects from other conventions held. The open_ ing session will be held on Saturday evening, and the closing session on Tuesday night. Sunday will be a red letter day in Columbia. Nearly all of the pulpits of the city will be occupied by prominent delegates and speakers. In the afternoon a mammoth meeting foremen will be held in the Opera House. A chorus of male voices will lead the singing. Mr. L. A. Coulter, of Richmond, Vs., a speak er of rare power and ability, will address the meeting. The Columbia -^ Muniabuiw . ? ? -. ? a large delegation of men from our city to this great gospel meeting. ise ' *" A Big Little Hqul. i A grand raid was made on a blind tiger who had his lair in some secret lr* recess or nook around about the ia Johnny Willard old barroom stand of the days of yore.

They probably IT* m oidn V* ( A * ? ? iiuu ((oil uuwu on nis gnees jjj, and deliver up the keys, to the kegs , that had been robbed many years ago." A grand seizure had been made, the pull was of such magnitude that we understand it required seven wagon loads of hauling to remove the kegs, jugs, bottles, eto., l8' to the safe custody of the sheriff. But sad indeed must here been the disappointment of the raiders when ,1. it was found that only about five gala Ions of the ardent could be drained I' from all this m ountain of evidenoe, j barely a drink around for the thirsty * onlookers, too bad, too bad, you have our sympathy.

L. Barnett, of Santuc i dropped in to see us Monday and get a receipt up to 1908. In conversation < d about crops. He said while it had been a hard year, just past, he did 1 not feel like grumbling, this was good news and we encouraged him to ] ie proceed. We learned that he is running a one horse farm on one of Mr. - L. B. Jeter's places, and that he made \ * a pretty good crop as follows: six , n bales of cotton weighing over 500 J j. pounds each. 170 bushels of corn, 15 , p bushels of peas, 1500 bundles of iod- , der, about 25 or 80 bushels of potatoes, , four good hogs and a few- head of | a oafHe, snd made ? big prop of water,t melons.

Mr. Hughes, the new magistrate, is a rising young lawyer of the Union bar, and we have no doubt will handle the business of the rflice in such a manner as to give satisfaction to all concerned.

Up-to-date in Every Particular. The People's Bank, now nearing com- ' pletion, is the handsomest building iu Uuion and one of the handsomest in the ' State. The building stands right in thr heart of the business portion of the ' town with a frontage of 28 feet on Main street, and 117 feet on Virgin street. The ? principal entrance is on Main street. It is a two story structure built of i pressed brick, the Urst story being J granite gray and the second buff. The trimmings are of colored marble and two ^ marble pilasters 12 feet high will support " the arch oyer the main entrance. j On the first floor is the bank prorer, a beautiful room '22 feet wide by 45 feet long, including the lobby which is wainscoated to a height of .'Jj feet with v ltrous wall tiling, the hardest and perhaps the prettiest tiling made. The lobby is . payed with vari-colored ceramic tiling in ' a very attractive design. Four large plate glass windows provide ample light and ventilation. A liandstme railing of artistic design adorns the cashier's and f tellers counter whioh adds very ma? I terially to the attractiveness of the in- \ terior. The bank vault is 10 by 12 feet and is absolutely fireproof, Its concrete flooring is a yard thick. It will contain a / burglar proof manganese steel safe and steel safety deposit boxes. ? Space will not permit a detailed des cnpuon or mis jarge molding with its many offices upstairs and down, its handBonae fixtures, its provision for steam 1 heat, electric lights, etc. Suffice it to J say tlut iu every particular it is right up to date. There is one feature, however, which deserves special mention and that is a I room on the first door which will be open all day to the public. The "People's Bank T aims to be a popular institution, and this room will be fitted up for the use of the public?a quiet genteel place for a social chat or for the trauaaction of I business. I A not hev popular feature of this b.mk I will be it? saving department which will be conducted in tlie same manner as are the regular savings banks in large cities The officers of the People's Bank are _ B.
