C. As might be expected by oneewho knows Mr. Marks at 'all well, it was not to see relatives or friends that he made the trip down Into South Carolina., He saw his klxifolks and friends, it Is true, but only as a small boy' sees the side shows whea he takes a day .off for the circus. There was a big gather lng of fiddlers in Lancaster county, a sort of convention, and Old Man Marks had gotten the word to come. He went and of course carried with him his fiddle.. And such music did hs make! The gathering was at Hopewell . church. Dixie township, last Thursday a week ago. and there were fully 6,s0 people on hand. After thr big event was over Mr. Marks visited around and hence hi delay In getting back to the county. He returned Saturday, Fire Searched For In Two Places ; Xaoa Found.' An alarm of fire.

In recording tne alarm at tne union, however, a ftstake was made and con sequently the bell tolled out 2S and one wagon of Department No. 2,- tak ing its cue from this, dashed out to the corner of East MoreJfad and South Boulevard, where stands the south graded school.

Pura , SPEECHES BY MR. TAFT. While Nominee For Preldency is Sot Able to Be Present inj Person, His Speeches Will Be on Tap During State Convention A Record Breaking Week. v The various moving picture shows of the city, particularly the Edlsonla, which was the first to lay hold of the idea, will ring with Bryan and .Taft speeches this -week,' special orders for records having been made on the Victor Company several days ago in anticipation, of the State Re publican convention, which Is to be held here this week. The Taft speeches, such as "What Constitutes an Unlawful Trust," "Functions of the Next Administration." "The Farmer and the Republican Party." "Rise and Progress t the Negro(" "Oar Foreign Dependencies," . and others, will be placed on the ma chines as soon as they arrive, cer tainly to-morrow, and will remain on tap the rest of the week. Such Bryan records as "Imperialism "Guarantee of Bank Deposits," "The Labor Question," "Popular Election ot Senators," "The Trust Question, "The Railroad Question." "Publica tion of Compalgn Contributions,' etc.. have already been received and they will divide time with the Taft speeches when the latter arrive. There will be more oratory In Charlotte to the square Inch this week than ever before and It will not be confined to the Auditorium, where Tom Settle. Spencer Adame, Cy Thompson and Marlon Butler will hold sweet converse. The atmos phere of the nickelodeons Will be surcharged with eloquence.' ,It may be that several of the Taft recorda will be run off for the benefit of the convention between hours. This matter will be submitted to th leaders when they arrive to-morrow and something of Interest may de velop. No one, however, need be alarmed If. on passing down the Great White Way, th.e familiar ring ing tones of the deep, mellow voice of the Peerless are heard as they are. carried on the wings of the winds through the air, or the ponderous notes of the nominee-elect of the Republican party, who could not come In person to the State, con vention. Kindly bear In mind that all this eloquence Is available at so much per and one has but to cough, up a fragment of cash to have it for hla very own. It Is a safe prediction that the moving picture shows will do a land-office business this week.
