J t<nite a number,?probably fifty j -eventy-rtvo?ot our people went to I Charleston on the Darlington exeursion Monday. The chain gauge's now at Odes >:i it- way hero. We are informed ! that it will reach this place some? time in October, when the work line our town will be paid. Any leaf that will answer for a i wrapper is printing i? good price, and all indications point toas.eady rise on this clues of tobacco right; along. M. A. Thomas .received a vecy severe shock by a fall from a mure last Friday. He was confined to his bed a day or two. No bones wore broken,and lie will beali right soon. Constable ALsbrook came in Saturday. Jt is sincerely wished that he may succeed in his efforts to break up the illicit traffic in liquo: which seems to be going on throughout this section. Misses Eva and Hal lie Rollins left last Monday night lor Wintrop College, T.riss Eva wili graduate this session. This will be Miss Hal lie's first year. The heaviest rainfall we've had in months came Saturday, and it came none too soon, it could benefit no crops except sweet potatoes andpeae, but it probably marked the close of the summer and the beginning of the/all. The opening sentence of our .chiefs editorial last week on the election suggested to us the following conundrum:?Iu what respect are defeated candidates like the .earth??They are flattened at the polls. (This was also suggested to Uie"chief'?Ej>.) The steady stream of tobacco -till .flow* in. The necessity of harvesting and marketing the cotton crop urged on by the high prices has diverted to some extent! the excited attention, but the diversion is only temporary. In a week or two the cotton will have l>een -old, and then tobacco will again,1 and with renewed ami refreshed .energy, secure the entire attention. There seems to he some reason for believing that the blind tiger business in this community is-being .encouraged bv some ??/' those who want a dispensary. if tiiis he true their object in lending their encouragement is to so thoroughly disgust the people with tliis illegal traffic that they will accept a.dispensary as the lea si of the two evils. Their hope is that this will be the outcome. Cotton ha* Uocn coming in several weeks at a lively gait, but the almost phenomenal prices of the past eight or ten day* caused a regular tJood. Kveryjthiiyt else has been ^radically laid aside and .the energies of the whole people are being strained to put the cotton crop on the market at the earliest possible oate. The gins are run to their full capacity every day and a geod part of most nights. If the piesent move holds on, very little of the! crop will be left on the farms by tiie! first of October. The next meeting of the Bethlehem Baptist,Union will convene in the Baptist church of this town on Friday before the fifth .Sunday in this month. A large attendance is expeeted,as there will be something out 01 the ordinary an the programme. <>n Sunday morning, the-'Kith,at 10 o'clock,there will he a special service in memory of Mr. J. M. Thomas, who died lust March. During this.service a numlier of speeches appropiate to the occasion will he made and the tablet erected in the church in memory of Mr. Thomas will 1* unveiled. If there Is such a tiling as a polit jc*al riug at Lake City we have not made its acquaintance, and the primary election just closed fails to demonstrate the existence of any clique or combination. We think it cun be easily proved that some of those who were said to be ring candidates were Mutually opposed hy the very men whom rumor puts at the head of the ring, J t seems that it would be nearer the truth to say that all this hue and cry about rings and clique* was raised for purely polltical purposes by those who wished to defeat the candidates whose homes are in the vieiuityof I? ike City. Their object Was partly accomplished, but let thetn be sure of this: 'Curses, like chickens, come home to roost." Last Monday a young man, who gave his name as J. i?. Chapman and his home as in Darlington county about seven miles from Hartsville, met with a serious accident at the depot at this place. The Darlington excursion train, which was -made up of eleven coaches packed from bumper to coupling nub, took the siding to let 78 go by. While on the riding several passengers got off, and among! them young Chapman, who walked j across to the depot. After 78 went by j the excursion train backed out of' the siding and went down the main ! ?> ? * - 4-! if M-oc I I TUCK Oil IV?
