The Best Way. Mr. -James L. Sbealy dropped in to see us while in town Monday. He is en industrious farmer and a genial fellow. We were pleased to learn | that he and Mr. J^smes Langford had settled their differences out of ; ' court. This is the best as well as ! the cheapest way for friends and neighbors, when they fall out, which is often the case, to do. Going to law to settle difficulties among neighbors is not at all satisfactory. It generally adds fuel to the flames and aggravates the already'inflamed passions. Good results always follow in' amicable settlement of differences. Ho Can Please Toil We rise to inform you that Fitzmaurice, the Colombia Dry Goods * * * 11 mercnanr, is a ciever ^euucwau buu will treat you white every time, and he wants you to koow that he carries a carefully selected stock of dry goods, notions, etc, which are admirably suited to the wants and necessities of the people of LexiDgton, which he is offering at such prices that you have never heard of before.

See his advertisement Stronger Than Ever. There was a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Palmetto Colleghte Iostitute last Thursday. The plans for an aggressive campaign in the interest of the institate for the coming session were laid and the outlook fully canvassed. AmoDg the business transacted was the election of teachers, which resulted as follows: Prof. 0 D. Seay, President; Prof James H. Hope, Superintendent of the intermediate department; Miss Mary Wingard, principal of the primary department, and Mrs. FaDnie Roof, director of the musical department. No Court. The June Term of Court "opened and closed in short form " On account of the absence of Judge Townsend, who was water bound at his home in Union and could not pos' sibly reach this place, we had no court. There were a large number of jurors and witnesses present and the attorneys were prepared to go to trial in a number of cases. Judge TowDsend telegraphed the Clerk of C^urt to discharge all jurors and witnesses and allowed the attorneys to fix a date for bearing equity cases, and Saturday the 20th instant, was named. All criminal business was continued until the September term.

SOc. Hail Stora. A very severe and destructive hail storm fell near Edmund on Monday afternoon of last week. Mr. D. M. j Sex brought to this office Monday some black jacks, which were taken from a track, about two miles long and a half a c iU wide, over which the hail passed. All the bark and leaves were literally beaten from them and in some places the limbs were beaten into shreds. Mr. Noah Shumpert says that on last Monday be went cut and gathered a bucket full of hail stone-i and there still remains, covered up with leaves and debris several car loads of stones. T?. oni/1 if mao nT7^r fhrrfi dfiPD lit 10 raiu lb nuo w I in some places. Mr. Dunbar of the same section has sent to this rfSce samples of tobacco, which had been destroyed by hail on the same day. The leaves are a perfect mass of shreads. He bad six acres of the weed in fine growing condition, which was more or less injured by the hail. The storm visited other sections doing much damage to growing crops. We are informed that the same section was visited yesterday afternoon by another severe raiD, wind and hail storm, but failed to learn the damage. From Around St. Matthews.

Dr. Efird comes to Leesville highly recommended and is high up in his profession. He is a graduate of The University of Maryland and has been practicing in a Baltimore Hospital for two years. Two of his specialties are that of surgery and female diseases. Leesville can feel honored to have such a briiliant young physician in her midst and, too, a Lexingtonian by birth. His father, Rev. J. K. Efird, will be well remembered in many homes in Lexington county, as well as the Doctor. We wish him much success in his wide field of labor. K. A Narrow Escape. This town made a narrow escape i /? ? i irom oeiog wiped out Dy nre last Saturday night. During the rain, lightning struck the telephone wires and followed them to Mr. W. P. Roof's large store and the current entered it setting fire to the wall?. Fortunately it was discovered by some one who had taken refuge from the rain in the vestibule and the alarm was given before the flames could make any headway. No damage was done.
