Last Week's Shows. A
After a six night engagement in u:
Newberry. the Peruchi-Gypsene com- o
pany went to Columbia on Sunday rr
morning. The company leaves be- is
hind it a nirst class reputation and p
will be well received if it ever returns a
to this city. Popular prices pre- a
vailed 4t all performances but the ex
hibitions were far above the ordinary al
for attractions of this kind. The o
two leading comedians were drama- t<
tists of real ability, and they were ti
well supported by the other members ti
of the organization. The manage- fR
ment in Newberry deserves credit for a
booking such an eminently pleasing a:
attraction. G

The Rev. W. B. Lindsay. of Mem

1ase of a church lot and the erection

was for this purpose that Mr.

regation.
At the morning service on Sunday
[r. Lindsay preached an able and
oquent sermon, taking as his text,
>hn 1:14, "And the Word was made
:sh and dwelt among us." The
)eaker said that Moses expressed a
:sire universal to all mankind when
: prayed, "Show me thy glory, Oh
od." Every man has the same de
re which prompted Moses to utter
s prayer. The heathen, in the pur
lit of this desire to see God, worship
e sun and moon and stars, do hoiii
,e to the elements. They erect al
rs in the grove or by the riverside,
r before the great rock. They ren
r homage to certain beasts or to

e God face to face. Enlightened

Mr. Lindsay continued and dwelt
length upon the great significance
the term "word" as applied in the
,xt to the Savior. Christ revealed

ze Eternal. He was God's thought
r us, the Word made flesh. By Him
e realize something of the height
d depth and breadth of the love of

as made flesh simply means that
od became man, that there was a
ion without a transformation, that
vo natures dwelt in one body, two
stinct natures and one person for
-eer. It is the enexplicable mystery,

I through faith.
The speaker, in continuing, said
at mystery surrounded humanity in

Christ revealed God, then His

AN EXPLANATION.
Open Letter From Board of Publi
Works-Relating to the New
Electric Lighting Plant.
llecausC of :he fact that complaint
xave been registered against the nex
ighting system the board of commis
-ioners has seen tit to offer an expla
nation to the inquiry concerning th
rregular lighting of the streets fo
:he past two weeks. It is as follows
Hon. Van Smith, Acting Mayor,
Dear Sir:
In reply to your inquiry concern
ng the irregular lighting of th
treets for the past two weeks. th
>oard can only say that the same ha
Cen unavoidable. In making
:omplete change in the entire light
ng plant of the city, there were tw<
flans to adopt, the simplest, easiest
md cheapest plan was to remove thi
>ld plant and then put in the new,
I'his would have necessitated the cit:
iaving no lights at all for ten days o:
:wo weeks. The other plan. whicl
ias been the one adopted, was to re
>lace the old machinery by the new
>y piecemeal. This plan has enable<
:he superintendent to install the nev
>lant, without the house lightint
rystem having been interfered witl
!or a single night, with a little incon
-enience to the public as possible, an<
s now in such state of completion a!
eads us to hope that with this week
dl inconveniences and annoyance
rom the change will have ceased. an<
he new system will be in a conditioz
:o give satisfactory service.
We can only call your attention t<
:he fact, that irregularities in th<
ighting of the city. during thi
:hange of plant, were a necessity, at
endant upon this change. and w<
rust that all the citizens will mak,
dlowances for temporary discom
orts, coming from this cause.
With the beginning of the nev
rear. the board hopes the city wil
ave in full operation an electri<
ighting plant, with power and capac
ty sufficient to allow any increase ii

)e needed. as well as to supply sucl
idditional street lamps as the mean:
