Mr James Allen of Flor :nce spent several days in town last week at the home of his son, Dr M L Allen. Among the friends who called to see us Saturday we were glad to welcome Mr R E McElveen, of the Hebron section. Miss Eunice Harper is one of a house party at Greenville, from which city she will go to Reidsville to attend school. Mr R N Speigner was called to Jonesville last week to the bedside of his father, Rev R W Spigner, who has been quite sick. Mrs Ed Brockington ana son ana i (Mrs J E Kennedy have returned from Hendersonville, N C, where they were summering. The Kingstree telephone exchange now has connection with the Bethel section,which is a great convenience both to town and country folk. Miss Mary Gordon left last Monday for Columbia and Florence; after spending a few days there she will return to Winthrop to take up another year's study. The town registration books will close September 19. There are still a number of voters who should qualify themselves to vote in the general election, now close at hand. Mr H L Whitlock, "the lightning rod man," was in town several days this week. Mr Whitlock's postoffice is Lake City, but he is at home with his friends all over this county. Parents are urged by the Superintendent to try to enroll their children the first day, when possible to do so. It is much to the advantage of the pupil, as well as the school, to enroll the first day of the session. Mrs E C Riechardt of Houston, Texas, is visiting relatives in town. Mrs Reichardt is a daughter of Capt Sam P Matthews, formerly of Williamsburg, but who moved to the "Lone Star State" many years ago. We are glad to welcome as citizens of Kingstree Mr J W Whetsell and family, of Orangeburg county. These good people have cast their lot with us permanently,we understand, and will help us to build up Greater Kingstree. Mr J E Greene of Greelyville was in town one day last week to sell a ^^ Lio f aKo/?aa Mr WAR 1UOU Ui IiiO wunvw. ?*?a .. ? highly pleased with the price he got for his tobacco?about 25% cents a pourd. Any old weed brings fancy prices now on Kingstree market. Our enterprising townsman, Mr P S Courtney, is installing a 5 horse power International Harvester engine and dynamo to furnish electric lights and fans for his establishment and also to operate a steam piano, which will be put in as soon as possible. During a thunder-storm at Cades last week, it is said that the lightning struck the front of Mr J H Grant's store, partly demolishing it and severely shocking several persons who occupied the building at the time. The bolt also set fire to some of the contents of the store, but the fire was put out before it made much headway. The Atlantic Coast Line's last excursion of the season will be run to Winston-Salem, N C, next Monday. This is a beautiful city, whose attractions can be appreciated only by those who see them. The round trip from Kingstree is only $8.00, limited to return on any regular train up to and including the following Wednesday. Unofficial returns from the election at Prospect to determine I whether or not that section of Wll , liamsburg shall be annexed to Florlence county, give the result as 74 votes in favor of annexation and 4 opposing annexation. This indicates that another slice of Williamsburg? about twenty miles, we believe?will go to Florence. We still have enough of the old county to worry along with, however, something like 850 miles left. We received this week an inter-! esting news letter from Moore's X J Roads which we should have been1 pleased to print,but for the fact that no name was signed?only initials and "Steam Boat Bill." Not being ; able to trace the identity of the I writer from either the initials or the I tie /tlunK t the communication i had to be committed to the yawning j recesses of the waste basket. Once more ri/ie?f that every article for publication must be signed by the real name of the writer for our protection. We will not publish the name, if the writer objects, but we j must know it. An unsigned obituary (from Moore's X Roads was received ! this week also. Our charge for I printing obituaries, tributes of re( spect, etc, is one cent a word. We j i don't know who sent this one, but! | we could not have printed it free, or : as news when the person referred to ; 1 died more than a month ago. MUNICIPAL PRIMARY ELECTION. Mr. Hinder Elected Mayor?Exciting Contest for Aldermen. The municipal election, held here Tuesday, was marked by the large number <?f votes polled and the keen interest manifested as to the outcome. There were three candidates for Mayor while nine aspired to Aldermanic honors. As the full quota of Aldermen is only six,three ' of the latter had to be left out. Following is the result of the elec- 1 tion for Mayor and Aldermen: For Mayor 1 L P Kinder 82 \ Thomas McCutchen 66 ' A M Gordon 7 ' For Alderman 1 M A Ross 139 : C D Jacobs 137 1 E C Burgess 132 W R Scott 120 1 A C Swails 93 H E Montgomery 92 P S Courtney 91 { H A Meyer 70 J W Coward 38 The total number of votes for Alderman was 152, three ballots being improperly made out and not counted for that office. Thursday at noon the town executive committee met in the county Auditor's office to canvass the ballots and declare the result. On account of the exceedingly close race for the sixth place for Alderman, Mr Courtney, who received but one vote less than Mr Montgomery, asked that the ballots l>e recounted, i This request was complied with by 1 the committee. The ballots were carefully inspected and tabulated 1 and the re-count co-incided precisely ( with the statement of the managers; < hence the committee declared Mr L P Kinder for Mayor and Messrs Ross, Jacobs, Burgess, Scott, Swails j and Montgomery for Aldermen the ] nominees of the party, these candi- I dates all having received a majority of the votes cast for their respective j offices. Thus ended a very close and ex- j citing election. 1 ^ 1 ^ i GKEELYVILLE GLEANINGS. ] Death of Mr. Flnkney HodgeEnjoyable Social Function. ( Greelyville, September 11:?The ' cotton crop has been damaged very < much by the recent rainy weather, which caused the open cotton to sprout and rot in the pods, and the grown pods on the ground have also rotted. Blight or rust is also causing a great loss. It seems that the farmer's lot is hard indeed.'Some of the farmers estimate the loss at 25 per cent. Mr Pinkney Hodge, of Clarendon county, died at the home of his sister, Mrs Melvin Mitchum, last Thursday. The body was taken back to Manning for interment Saturday morning. Miss Eunice Burkett of Sumter visited Mrs S P Oliver several days last week. Mrs E B Rhodus has returned from an extended trip to the mountain resorts of Tennessee and the ' Carol inas. Mr Robert Godwin and family of Kingstree spent a few days at Mrs May Register's last week. Mr Earle Godwin from Georgetown has accepted a position with C ' S Land & Co. Rev Mr .Whitaker and his son, Prof Walker Whitaker, spent several days here last week trying to find a ' farm for Rev Mr Whitaker, who is . going to give up preaching to try ' farming. Mr Whitaker is a member of South Carolina conference. There was quite an enjoyable party given at the demons hotel last Tuesday night in honor of the Misses demons' guests.

Everybody,j PRESIDENT DABBS PRESENT At Farmers* Union Meeting at PIney Grove Last Week. The Williamsburg County Farmers' Union met with Piney Forest local union at Piney Forest school on September 7. On account of the inclement weather there were not so many delegates present as would otherwise have been present. However, those who were there had a good time. Matters of vital interest to the farmers were discussed. President Dabbs made a very interesting and profitable address to a large and interested audience. It is hoped that great good vrll be result of the meeting. Those who were prevented from attending by the weather, or otherwise, missed a great deal. Those Piney Forest people don't do things by halves; they certainly know how to provide for the inner man. There were good things to eat; enough left after every one there had eaten to his satisfaction to feed upward of as many more. All who were there agree that saying we had a good time conveys only a faint idea as to what we did really enjoy. J T Frierson, Sec'ty. THE TEST OF MERITKiogstree People Are Given Convincing Proof.
