Mr. McClenegan of Florence is spending a few (lays with Mr. Hugh James. Several merchants have added im provements to their stores the past few weeks among which are front painting and window dressing. All these things tend to help the looks of our "Broadway" There are a few more business houses on our main thorough fare that a little paint would' help the looks of and if these were put in first class condition our little town would look "citified" sure enough with the exception of a few crooked streets which none of us can help for those who laid off the principal streets here probably have already gone to glory where all streets are straight and they probably now see their mistake. After all tho we have a good town despite several conditions which we cannot help and all these things are very trivial. No one from the outside can notice them unless they identify themselves with town life and all of ns here in the burg look over these things. Summerton is not unlike other towns, they all have their faults and some more than Summer ton. We could have water works but no one in Summerton likes to take a bath in the cold winter months and in the -unner we have a ref-eshin str-am :n the nutskirt= of !!-e city where those needing same can have the pleasure of a good bath within its placid waters. We could have with a little extra expense a minature fire department sufficient for a small town but the folks in Summerton use the o-ld saying that "an ounce of pre ventative is worth a pound of cure" and do all they can to prevent fires and such like and therefore we have no fires to any extent and for which we are indeed very thankful. We have had only one conflagration in the past few years which I feel sure is a record for a town the size of Sum merton however we (10 not know wvhen we may have one that may threaten our whole busihiess district and with this idea in view merchants as well as property owners should not let their insurance go slack on account of our previous recordl as sooner or later we may have a fire that will mean something if we are not careful about our insurance policies. Most all of the mercantile establishments carry I suppose as much as they are allowed to carry but owing to the rapid adlvance of mere~nandlise the in surance companies wvili allow you to carry a great (deal more than they use to and probably there is some merchant in Snmmerton who just has his former policies renew~ed and dloes n~ot take into considleration that his stock has increased a good bit from the tiume he covered with insurance. With the coming colon season near at hand ad1 Sumnmerton the Mecca fo those wanting thieir cotton ginned a'. good gins which give ont what you put in andl even make up for the sandl with thirty cent fleece, we cannot be too careful about where we throw our cigar andl cigarette stumps. We just me ntioned this as probably some one ma not have in mind his financial safety and in order to re'mindl him we take this method. Now I dlon't mean to infringe upon the intelligence of' any one but "a word to the wise is su flict." Miss Annie Hlilton fns a1ccepted a position as stenographer with the C. M. Davis Son & Company. Tlhe store formerly occupied by the .Peoples Wholesale Girocery Company is soon to b~e occupiedl by the Abhramis Weinberg Co. We understand these gentlemen will put in a first class (dry goodls andl readly-to-we'ar stock. We' wvelcome them to Nummerton andl hope the business will meet much prosperity. A fatal shooting scrape took place in the vicinity of St. PaulI last Sat urday about noon. A negro named Arthur Ryan did the shooting and an other negro nameil (eorge lDulose was his victim. The parties in the case were working with a lumber hauling force now operating at St. Paul, each being wagon drivers. It is statedl that the two negroes had some words previous to the shooting in the morning before arriving at St., Paul. T1he teams which we're about twenty in number are hauling lumber from different points on the rivor. swamp to the planing mill at St. Paul andl on this particular ay they hna ND, Correspo stopped to water the stock at a water-' ing station along the road. All the wagons had stopped, the deceased driver being near the rear decided to drive o~n ahead so as to get out near the first wagon possibly to avoid the du'st. In passing the wagons his wagon struck the wagon driven by Arthur Ryan and pushed Ryans wag on in the ditch with a theavy load on it. Ryan approached DuBose about same and words were exchanged which led to the shooting upon the ar rival of the wagons at St. Paul. Eye witnesses to the affair stated that Ryan shot at DuBose while he was yet on his wagon and that DuBose fell off the wagon and became en tangled in a wire fence on the off side of the wagon and that Ryan ran up and emptied his pistol in the body of DuBose who tried to run but fell dead after going only a short dis tance. Ryan who it was thought would surrenler, as soon as he found that he had killed DuBose made well his escape and is still at large pos sibly in the swamp near St. Paul. Several posses have hunted him but so far no trace of him could be had. Both negroes bore bad reputations, Ryan having come from Charleston and DuBose from Columbia. It is ru mored that this is the fourth man that Ryan has killed. Another negro l was arrested as accessory after the fact. An autophy was held over the lead body of DuP and the coroner's iaur came to the i ..ct that George DuBose came to -ath of gunshot wounds in the hands of Arthur Ryan, while the other negro who is in the county jail and whose name it is im possible to assertaii, is held as be ing accessory after the fact. -0 To Our Many Friends.
