Down in South Carolina, the colored citizens give an entertainment, or function, which is for the benelt of the church, and is commonly known as "A Hot Supper." A col. ored preacher from down there on being asked what was a hot supper, said most seriously: "Well, a hot supper is a cold supper." And on ^being asked what it consisted of, said: "At this time of the yea rit was baked 'possum and sweet potatoes." On being asked, why there were so frequently fights at hot suppers he said, he "supposed it was because the gentleman and the ladies insisted on carrying razors and corn whiskey to these suppers." He said that they were called hot, not because the food was hot, but because the social intercourse was hot and sometimes bloody. The cash receipts are always given to the church.?Charlotte Observer.
