We sympathize with Mr and Mrs F W Fairey in the severe illness of their oldest daughter, little Elizabeth. and hope that she may soon be restored to health. All the ministers of the town are welcome to space to publish their appointments for the four town churches. We haven't space for the out-of-town appointments. The biggest sale of tobacco that has taken place here this season, if not the record sale for this market, occurred Tuesday. Tobacco is rolling in now and buyer and seller alike are happy.

The negro boy, Zeke McKnight, who lived on Mr R S Bell's place near Indiantown postomce, wnose ! skull was fractured by a kick from a mule on August 12, died from the effect of the injury after lingering four days in extreme pain. The boy is said to have been about twelve ! years old. ! I In giving credit to the railroad ' company for the land-scape gardening effect near the station we were in error. The picturesque grass-plat with the neat iron fence is the work of the ladies of the Civic League, we are informed, and not of the railroad people, though the latter might have been expected to thus improve their property at their own expense. Jimmie Davis, a small negro boy, about twelve years old, is in jail charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. Aided and abetted by a number of his young companions yesterday, he beat another coiored boy from the country so severely that the latter's life is in danger. Chief Anderson is rounding up the accessories to this serious affair this morning. In a personal letter Rev E E Ervin writes the editor that he expects to be able to occupy his pulpit *t Kingstree on the first Sunday in September's proximo. Our friend lias teen quite sick in the infirmary at Asheville, but, in common with his many other friends, we are pleased to know that his chances are iavorable for gradual recovery, or, at least, partial restoration to health. Largely through the efforts and untiring energy of Mrs Ellen Foxworth there has been erected a .. hindsome Presbyterian church building near Bethesda Methodist church. The congregation is few in number but they responded nobly to the 1 cause and the building stands as a monument to their unselfish devotion. The edifice is spacious and; sightly, being recently painted, and | makes a pretty appearance indeed There will be a State Farmers' Institute, or Congress, at Clemson College August 31 to September 1: j The railroads have been asked to ( give special rates and rooms and j beds will be furnished free by the j coliege; all that is asked is for each J visitor to bring his own pillow cases, j soeets and a light blanket. Meals at : the mess hall will be furnished at ( 1 three for $1.00. We are requested to extend a cordial invitation to the I farmers of Williamsburg and all [others who may desire to attend ! this congress. We advise our tobacco growing friends to market all their tobacco I at a warehouse and give all the i buyers a chance to bid. If the price j; i doesn t suit, or you are uissausueu, you have the privilege of turning the tag and getting a higher price, if possible. If this policy be adopted by the planters there would be very active sales at all our warehouses and thousands of dollars that have been going into the pockets of the "pin-1 hookers." who have bought your to- j bacco without competition, will go where it rightly belongs, into the farmers' pockets. Cut out the glib tongued buyer who has you at his mercy. Struck a Rich Mine.

Capt Kelley did not go to Glenn Springs last week, being taken with a sudden indisposition the day appointed for his departure. There may have been other errors in the list published.
