Some of the principal streets of the
BH town are still being used as a pasture for
Wm grazing cattle, although there is a town
MB ordinance against grazing cattle on the
streets. If city council is making efforts
to enforce the ordinance, we are not
K ; aware of it. Either enforce the law or
repeal it.
Hp In view of the fact that in many secj*
tions of the county it is believed that
f Senator S. G. Mayfield will make the race
? for lieutenant governor, we deem it
1 proper to state that he has not filed his

I in the field. He will, as heretofore, ably

L V In view of the fact that the executive
? committee of Sumter county decided not
k j to entertain the candidates" for State of

pointed by County Chairman Folk
w- thonorhr it. best not to do so either. How
Iever, several of our citizens have personal

these will be entertained at private residences
by their friends.

now, and the farmers do not propose ^o
be fooled by fair promises from a few
men who want offices. What we have
heard from Bamberg county is warning
enough for us. No, sir; we cannot afford j
the luxury of a new county during these

j County Affairs.
j The county is again out of money, although
$8,604 05 has beeu borrowed. Ou
the first day of June Treasurer Folk had
j on hand $245.19, and has paid out siuce
that time $590.57, he using his private
funds to pay claims. He has paid out of
his own money up to this time $351.38,
?? ! ic r?rnh?hlp that some arrangement
will be made, for it is hardly to be expected
that a county official will continue to
pay the county's debts out of his own
pocket and wait until taxes are collected
for return of the money, without interest.
It takes about a month to pay running
expenses of the county, and about
$400 a month is derived from the dispensary,
so that, as it is several months
until taxes are collected, about $'-?,">00 will
have to be raised in order to keep the
county on a cash basis.
County Board of Education.
The county board of education held a
meeting here last Friday for the purpose
of holding an examination of applicants
for teachers' certificates and some other
business. There were ten applicants:
three white and seven colored.
The board declined to establish Whetstone
school district, as it would take
a way a part of the Clear Pond district.
Hampton school district was exeauru,
and an election on the question of levying
a special tax of two mills will be held
on Saturday, July oth,at the P. VT. Sandifer
school house.
| The sum of $50 was appropriated to pay
expenses of surveying districts, summer
school expenses, and other incidentals.

Picnic at St. John's.
Last Saturday we had the pleasure of
attending the annual Sunday-school picnic
at St. John's Baptist church, in the
lower part of the county. This is always
a successful occasion, and we have attended
each year since we have been in
the county. Large crowds are always
present, and the genial good-will and
hospitality of the kindly Christian people
of that section is alwavs greatly enjoyed
by us. Rev. E. W. Peoples is pas??.

The exercises were begun at twelve
o'clock in the church, and after music by
the choir, prayer by Rev. S. P. Cliisolra,
and a few remarks bv Superintendent
Carter; the regular address of the day was
delivered by Rev. M. L. Lawson, pastor of
the Bamberg Baptist church, who delivered
his message in an earnest, forceful,
practical talk. Then Rev. E. W. Peeples
addressed the body, after which a bountiful
dinner was served. Free lemonade
was also dispensed in large quantities
later in the afternoon. There were
copious showers of rain at intervals during
the day, but this did not seem to mar
the pleasure of any present. While the
crops in that section were growing nicely
and looked well, rain was badly needed,
and it came at a most welcome time.
Several candidates for county offices were
present, rsoming uameasuut uauucu
to mar the day, and all present, both old
. young, seemed to enjoy the social gatherin?
together.
Saturday night we spent with our good
! friends, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Copeland, in
Ehrhardt, where we attended a meeting
of the Masonic lodge, at which the Fellow
Craft degree was conferred upon
three candidates. It was indeed a most
pleasant trip all around, and the many
kind attentions shown us was verv gratifying.

Branchvii.le, June 16? Mr. Claude
Rigby, formerly of Reevesville, S. C., but
now of Illinois* went out with his cousin,
Mr. Laurie Fairey, on a fishing and hunting
expedition last week, and was accidentally
shot in the arm just above the
wrist. Before alighting into the boat he
attempted to lay his gun on the seat, but
unfortunately it slipped, both barrels
were discharged into his arm, tearing
away about two inches of fiesh, the entire
width of both barrels, iufiicting an ugly
and painful wound. The radial and ulnar
arteries and veius were riddled and
several shots pierced the flesh of his
stomach, which are not considered
dangerous, as he was standing side-wise

regret is felt by the community for
Mr. Rigby's untimely misfortune.
The Branchville graded school closed
Friday the 18th instant, without any formal
commencement exercises. The school
passed a very successful year, and the
number of scholars increased immensely
under the management of the efficient
professor, J. B. Henderson. Just recently
the trustees saw tit to tear down the old,
dilapidated, wooden barn and erect a
more suitable building, the outcome of
which is that we now possess a commodious
brick structure. The school will
give a lawn party Tuesday night. Refreshments
will be in order, and the proceeds
of which will go for the benefit of
the school library.

From what we can hear the indications
are that Allendale county will be formed
on June 28th. Why not call it Hagood

of calling a county Pee Dee, name
it after some of our grand men. South
Carolina has produced many illustrious
sons; let us honor them by naming the
new counties after them. We hope when
our friends in Dillon, S. C.. get their new

of Pee Dee." W. H. W.

Which Was ItSir
William MacCormae, the president
:>f the Royal College of Surgeons, says
The Youth's Companion, is an indeligible
worker. Often to save time when i
studying in his laboratory be used to have :
i light luncheon served there. j
On one occasion his assistant heard
tiim sigh heavily, and looking up, saw the
Joctor glaring at two glass receptacle*
3n his table.
"What is the matter, doctor?" asked
3ii e of the men.
"Nothing in particular," was the reply,
'only I am uncertain whether I drank
;he beef tea or that compound I have
been working on. And on the whole I j
would rather it had been the beef tea." J
Miss Mary Custis Lee was arrested in
Alexandria, Ya., last week. She got on
in electric car in Washington and took a
ieat allotted to colored people. Theeoniuctor
asked her to move to her proper
place. She refused. According to his
instructions he caused her arrest. She
DUght to have obeyed orders. Her father

Mr. W. P. Dowling Married.
(Charleston News and Courier.)
Mr. W. P. Dowling, Jr., of this city,
ind Miss Miriam Peixotto, of Augusta,
sverc married in the latter city last Sun- ;
lay afternoon. Mr. Dowling brought his
pretty young bride to this city Monday
light, and for the present they are staying
it the Charleston Hotel. Mrs. Dowling
s an exceedingly attractive young woman
ind the man}' friends of the groom are
congratulating him on his. good fortune.
The following news item in regard to the
narriage is taken from the Augusta
Chronicle of June 17:
"Miss Miriam Peixotto and Mr. W. P.
Dowling, of Charleston, S. C., were
quietly married on Sunday afternoon at
St. John's parsonage, the Rev. J. H. Eakes
ifliciating.
"The announcement will be received as
i great surprise by the hundreds of friends
if the young couple who were not aware
>f their immediate serious intentions.
"Mrs. Dowling is a young woman of
nagnetic personality and irresistible wiujomeness.
It is earnestly regretted by
aundreds of admirers and friencg that she
ivill reside in Charleston in future. She
,s yielded reluctantly to another city.
"Mr. Dowling is a well known young
^harlestonian who is greatly respected
ind esteemed in a large circle of friends
who uill extended to a royal welcome to
lis fair bride."
Politics in the west, even more than in
he east, is a profession. I remember two
men who were candidates for the office of
district attorney. One hail served before;
;he other was a ycung man conducting
lis first campaign.
The veteran was speaking in a small
;own, and after setting forth his own
claims he spoke as follows of his opponent.
"I understand that Mr. X is in
2very sense a worthy and honorable man,
but I ask you to remember that he has
never been tried."
"That's so!" exclaimed a voice. "You
Save been tried, old man, haven't you ?
And convicted, too, you know !"
After due inquiry it appeared that the
reterau had been, indeed, iudicted for
norse stealiug and convicted. He was
aot elected.?"Life and Sport in California."
