Mr. Hawkins contemplates a trip to the Pan American at an early date. Our old friead, Mr. 8. J. Tharpe, of Bensen. presented us Jast week with some delicious sweet cider and a lot of tine apples. Our appreciation of the gift is exceeded only by the thoughtful kindness which prompted it. Mr, Hey T. MeClary, who is in business with his brother in Georgetown, came up last week ^ to spend his vacation at" his old home. Before leaving Georgetown he was suffering from an attack ot fever, but our salubrious atmosphere soc n set him straight again.

Oar esteemed Lake City correspondent gave an excellent write up this week of the Lake CityUeorgelown games of baseball. As we had already in type an extended account clipped from the Georgetown Outlook and our columns were very much crowded, we were compelled to leave out that i art of his letter, although we jsgretted very much to have to do so. A gentleman who has recently traveled in that direction states that the Black liver road up to the Manning fork,just a tew miles from town, is a disgrace to the county. All along the road are great holes and wash-out:, some of them ten feet deep, making it really dangerous to travel over this highway. At some places he had to leave the road altogether and drive in the woods. Prof. K.D.Eods. of this county, I has been appointed by ?tate Superintendent McMahan to a position as instructor in the I'liiiipine Islands. This is a splendid ap- , pointmont, the position being lucrative and much sought alter. It is also a high compliment to I'rof. , Eops, as there were only two appointments made from this State. 1 While we congratulate our friend on his good fortune we feel sure i that no young man in the State could fill the appointment inore creditably tlian he will. iVtore Telephone Talk. The telephone line from Manning lo ivingstiee, the building of which was reported in the The Kkcoi.m soine ti/ne ago, lias been somewhat delayed until recently by the water on tlie ground, but we understand that work has been resumed and the line will be completed to tiiis place in the very near future. Thus our first line will be a iong djstance one. The building of this line is due to the public spirit and progressiveness of Messrs. Thomas & Bradham, the enterprising sales stable and lively men of Manning and Kingstree. Our next telephone connection will probably be with Salters De pot. A Iiilie energy and meney expended won Id give us this connection, which with the Manning line would do much to nlace us in telephonic touch with the outside world. Messrs. Lit rage, iiamer and Terrell came over from baiters last Thursday, and in talking up this line easily showed the feasibility of it. The people of Sailers are anxious tor the connection and with a little aid on the part of the citizens of Kings', ree the line would soon be built, 'ihe project deserves encourage-' meat aud we hope the business men of the town will show their good will toward it by subscribing to it. A small amount from every business man in town would lie sutfi.rieut to pay our part of I be expense o! building the line. Mr. G *orge S. Barr will receive subscriptions from anyone who wishes to contribute, or ifielt at this office the money will bo turned over to the proper parties. P/ortuary. Died?Near Give ley ville, S.
