Both were mailed Friday, June 20, one from Messrs Register & Rowell of Trio and the other from# Mr H J Barfield of llhnes. Both blooms were well formed and fully developed. Several others have reported blooms but these are the only ones "from Missouri", thus far. j D L Fulton, principal of the colored school, contributed a nice cotton blosscm to our desk this week.

It is cratifv- ! ingto know that in Williamsburg county there are a number of progressive, industrious colored planters. Saturday, June 21, we received a cotton bloom taken from a field of seventy acres now under cultivation by Mr J H Covington,|Jr, at Salters. Mr Covington had on June 10 cured a barn of tobacco lugs from his tenacre crop. While his cotton, in point of first bloom,is a little in arrears of 9ome of our live farmers, we believe he leads the county in the first curing of tobacco.

Two Brothers Assault Conductor What seems to have been an outrageous affair took place last Saturday afternoon on thfe local passen-1 ger train 47, between Florence and Denmark, in charge of Capt C K Gillespie. When the train left Lake City two young white men, A W and G W Ward, brothers,refused, it is said, to pay the additional cash fare required because they did not have tickets. Capt Gillespie finally persuaded them to do so, but it seems that they grew very angry with the conductor. When the train stopped at Cades, and while Capt Gillespie was assisting some lady passengers from the steps of the coach, the two men stepped up behind him and, it is alleged, struck him several severe blows on the head and about the face. Capt Gillespie at once realized his position and grappled with one of the men, throwing him to the ground,and began poundinghimwith his ticket punch and otherwise disfiguring him as best he could. The other brother, it is said, then flew into the conductor and the two men came near doing considerable damage to the popular young trainman, but assistance reached him and but for the bruises about his head, face and body and his clothing terribly torn, vhe conductor came out top side up.

Samuel Keels Brockinton, the infant son of Mr and Mrs S K Brockinton of Florence, and grandson of ! Mr and Mrs A M Gordon of Kings- j ^ ??- ? J a ...?% *1 il* rt i tree, passeu aw?y at mc uumc ui his parents in Florence Friday, June 20.at 11:30 a. m. The remains of the little boy were brought to Kingstree the afternoon of the same day,where the body lay in state at the home of Mr and Mrs A M Gordon until noon Saturday. Then they were tenderly iaid away in the Williamsburg cemetery. Rev R W Speigner performed the tuneral obsequies at the grave. The floral tributes were beautiful, many of which came from Florence, the home of the little boy, sent by Jfriends and acquaintances there. Little "S K" was a bright and vivacious child, having an appearance of strength and vigor not usually seen in one of his tender years; he was a great favorite with all who knew him, both in Kingstree and TTlrtron/?o Whorl hp madp his visits to Kingstree to see his. grandparents, many took a delight in seeing him here, and his coming was looked forward to with much pleasure, not only by the family, but by his friends here. His sad and untimely death, as viewed by human eyes,casts a gloom over the community. His little place cannot be filled and his memory will be a solace to his father and mother which they will so sadly need when they think of his brief life with them. Mr and Mrs Brockinton returned to Florence Tuesday morning, accompanied by Miss ljlary Gordon, who has gone to spend a few days withjthem. "S K" was the only child of his parents, and, had he lived until the 13th day of September, would have been two years of age. The entire community sympathizes with the bereaved parents and grandparents in their loss. Grand Jury Presedtment. At the summer term of the court of general sessions kthe grand jury made the following report to the court: To the Honorable George W Gage, Presiding Judge at the June term of court of Williamsburg county, 1913. We, the grand jury, herewith make our report. First, we thank the court for its patient and courteous treatment of the jury. We, the grand jury, wish to call your Honor's attention to the fact that, in our opinion, the cell accommodation in the county jail is far from adequate for the needs and for that reason the two races have to mingle together when exercising, and we recommend that our Sheriff and County Commissioners take measurements in the jail and see how many additional cells can be added and also the cost of same, to be in a position to report to the grand jury at the fall term of court. The committee appointed to make an investigation of the county offices will be in a position to report in full at the fall term of court. i ?11^J il nas Deea cuueu uu me aucnuuu of the grand jury that the fish law pertaining to Black river is being daily violated, and we recommend that the rural police, in their respective districts.be instructed to use all possible efforts to bring the guilty parties to justice. We have passed all bills submitted to us and are pleased to report that none of the cases were of a very grave nature,and that the conditions in the county% seem to be above average.
