No Booze for Lake City and Scranton Yet Awhile- Good Work of Town Council. Lake City, March 1:?Mr W S Moore, who had been on a visit to his old home, South Boston, Va., returned last Sunday. Mr Fuller Rickenbaker, father of Mr J F Rickenbaker, and family have moved into our town. The}' have secured the residence on the corner of Charles and Church streets. We welcome them among- us and hope they will find life so pleasant here that they will never care to go away. Col 0 T Hall has turned over the reins of domestic government to a 3'oung man who arrived a few days ago. Mr W A Ward has sold a lot on Dansing street to Mr W J A Singletarv, who will build a nice dwelling house on it right away. Mr R F Joyner has sold the "Bristow place" to Mr H V Epps, and has purchased from Mr J L C Moore a lot on which he will build a residence. The council is having some good work done on the streets. The improvements on Main street east of the Coast Line are especially marked. The side walk on the south side has been - * "? > i* _ a x_ straigntenea ana connnuea to the corner of Church street and the drain along- this walk is bei^g carried to the canal. The friends of Hon J C Lanham in this county, and all who know him are his friends, will be glad" to learn that he is getting on nicely at the Columbia Hospital where he went for treatment at the close of the Assembly. He is improving right along and will be himself again soon. Mr Lanham is a noble man, one of God's gentlemen, and Clarendon county will do herself proud in sending him back to the Capitol. And still the dispensary fight goes on. Last Saturday Messrs Shipp and Bass, for the plaintiff, and Mr W F Clayton, for the - * defendants, appeared before Chief Justice Pope at Newberry on the rule to show cause why the stay order granted on the 17th of February should not continue until the final decision on the case.

K SHERIFF WHO KNOWS HIS DOT) AND DOES IT. two Attempts to Lynch the Negro Wil a-j i hi // nams mwariea uy aaenii Graham's Vigilance. As is usual in such a case il s difficult to ascertain the facts ittending the killing- of Thurs :on McGee by the negro, Karc Williams, in Lake City on Wedlesday of last week. It is genirally agreed that the trouble rrew out of a hprse trade. The legro attempted to take a mule rom the lot and McGee forbade lim to do so. Some say that HcGee struck the negro and oth:rs maintain that the shooting vas entirely unprovoked. When the news reached here Sheriff Graham at once set out or Lake City, arriving there a ittle after 7 p. m. on the pasenger train. The prisoner had >een removed from the g\iard louse and was secreted in a barn n the rear of Maj S M Askns' house. When the Sheriff arrived Maj ^skinc rnnducted him to the )risoner and a plan was volved to evada the party of ynchers which the authorities lad reason to expect would enlea vor to take to take the pris?ner and try him before Judge ^ynch. The sheriff took the Legro down the road and boardd the Coast Line at a point beween Lake City and Kingstree, rhere he had arranged to meet he train, which had been earched carefully at Lake City. Sheriff Graham reached Kingsree without further adventure .nd lodged his prisoner in the ail. Thursday the sheriff noted in Cingstree the presence of of a lumber of people from Lake ?ity and he became suspicious vhen he saw a number of vehi :les behind one of the stores, thereupon he decided to remove he prisoner, and not five minites had elapsed after he had fot out of the jail before the >arty of would be lynchers was here demanding' the keys. Thursday night was spent in Slack river swamp at the "horse javeyard". Sheriff Graham is a very quiet nan, but he is just the kind of lan to stop at nothing to proect a prisoner in his keeping, ^he prisoner was taken to Colmhin PVid.nv vin Charleston iver the Southern, and turned iver to the penitentiary author ties for safe keeping- until he is >rought back here for trial probbljr at the next terra of court. Sheriff Graham has received a etter of congratulation from rom Governor Heyward upon he cpurse he pursued in guardng his prisoner: "I wanted to have the pleasire of meeting you personally, lot only because it would have et me make your acquaintance, rat I wanted to thank you for he manner in which you pro ected the State's interest in guarding- your prisoner. You Lave added to the dignity of the state in the manner you have ipheld the law, and I congratilate you heartily, and assure rou of my gratification at the mtcome of the action you took n defending the prisoner in :our hands. Hoping that you will be sure o call when next you are in our 3ity, believe me, with regards, Yours very truly, D. C. Heyward, Governor". DOINGS AT DOCK. Mr Haddock, Supt. of Georgetown Chain f gang.
