II fflJB MS. SAYINGS AND DOINGS OF PEOPLE OFQjUK SISTER TOWN. _ ^ DewiC of P- Lodje Hall?An Echo of the "Race Problem"? Trouble Caused by Whiskey. Lake City, November 8:?lb* J R Brockimon of Dock was lu our town on Wedueaday last and paid us a pleasant c?l). Mayor W W Timinons of Tifton, Ga., had his handsome residence burned last Friday by a lire that de stroyed property worth more than a quarter of a milliou dollars aud that kid in ashes a good part of the flourishing town of Tifton. Mr Timmoos is well kuown in this section of Williamsburg and in Floreuce coun *JMr Ohn Johnson left here Monday. He gees to Lamar, where he has seenred a position in Dr Watsou's drug store. J Moultrie Truluck has purchased the Dewly finished Wester residence on Jones street, as some call it. Mr Trtilnck is^a bachelor, but perhaps this i6 only an investment. However, things are not always t what they 6eem. The Lake City Lodge Knights of Pythias has purchased a uice lot ou Main street just below the dwelling house of Mr J D Daniel. On this lot the Lodge will build at once, so -we are informed, a two storied brick house, the lower story of which will be fitted up for a store and the upper for the lodjj* room. The Knights have long felt their need o: a suitable home for their order and have X determined to be wanting no longer. f Hence this move. It is probable that the Masons will secure the use of the hall for their quarters also. Dr J B DuRant has sold the place known as the "Byrd place", just below town, to Mr John M Kennedy. Mr Simon Poston, that substantial and straight-forward merchant and farmer of Half Moon was noted here Friday. We noted :hat splendid citizen Mi W S Eaddy of Prospect in town Saturday last. The New Zion school was opened Monday, Miss Lena Thomas in charge. rvonte I rofnr?in f!nl .T T* Vnm 4 gvunvi v/vi v a of Cades was in our midst one day last week on business. Mr J J M Graham came up from Cades Wednesday to receive a consignment of three-yaar.old papei shell giant pecans. He will put twc acres in these nuts at once aud add to this from time to time. This is exactly in the right directijn. Il has been demonstrated the South Carolina produces the finest ]>ecans grown in the United States; and, affew years of necessary wait] ing, the crop is a sure and profitable I one. We beleive it a good indication J when our people go to putting out I nnt and fruit, trees. Sam Siugietary, colored, who is charged with having beaten and si choked a little white boy near Han* na, Florence county, more than a year ago, was arrested here Saturday by Marshal Cole and placed in the savings department of the guard boose. Sheriff Burch came down Sunday and carried the prisoner to rwrencej^miiuav nignr ai tgietary had been in hilling since the crime was committed and felt that he could come here in safety, but found this a mistake. There was quite a crowd in town Saturday and some of the crowd, after "crowding down" more of that which is disp osed from the State's whiskey shop than they could contain without losing their equanmity and equilibrium, proceeded to dispense much noise, recless driving and large "cuss worcta". Two white men were salted down in toe refrigerator and allowed to cool off. Another, who wtis pretty fall, managed to keep from being "polled" and got ont of town, but when a few miles away the liquor could not longer resist the temptation to get bim in trouble, and he tried to empty a load nf inf/> annt.hftr man. who fnr tunatelj knocked the barrel of the gnn wide just as it was discharged. Had not this second mau been cool, and collected, it is probable that we would bewailed upon to chronicle a horrible Jaomtcide instead of an assault. Messrs J H Blackwell, P G Gourdin and J H Y Gaskins, of the board of control, checked up Dispenser .Rogers Tuesday. We continue to hear of negro clubs In all sections of the county. As to the object there are more than one rumor. If these negroes are meeting together for the purpose of benefiting the race in an honest and legitimate way, well and good. If not, tbeu thev are foolish and will finally learn that this is trrr. .V any rate, the whites shoui.' i y (Continued on page 5).
