The card of Mr J T Polk, who is a candidate for the legislature, was received too late to mdke any com ment in our issue of last week. Mr. Polk is so well-known over Colleton county that he scarcejy needs any introduction to the in telligent voters. Two years ago Mr Polk made the race for sheriff, conducing himself in such a man ner a** to win a host of friends While he was not successful, he made a good race, coming out third, who haabeen suffering from a bnj|)»fc Mr. Polk, for a number of years, en leg, will be pleasedfco know he li able to be out on crutches Mrs W W Goodman of Roswell, Ga accompanied by her two little child ren. is in town visiting her aisters, W J Taylor and C b C The article, Col.

For several yean Mr Polk has been trying to build up his farm, bringing to hear on that taisk such business judgement as he has shown in his business career all along. Mr Polk is nery much interested in Sunday school work. In this con nection he says “1 take the Bible as a guide for my faith and practice. I believe in meting out justice to all mankind—the performance of duty being the first principle of Uv ing.” N. G.

The Big Store, July 12th, Dear Mr. Editor.—Reports from all sides tell of too much rain. Corn is look ing better than cotton.

Editor Smoaks, July 9, Special: — The crops in this section are badly »ca!d- ed on account of the continued ficavy rains that we have been hav ing for the past fifteen da>s. Even if the rains hobf up the croi*s will be | cut short considerably, especially the corn crop. The picric? held here la«t Monday, July 4th, wasa gr.nd success in ev ery particular. There was about 500 or 600 hundre«i people-present and enjoyed the festivities of the day. About elven o’clock there came a down pour of rain w’hich lasted for *d>out 30 minutes. This shower di - layed the speaking which was to have taken place in the grove. We were very fortunate in securing the services of several good speakers for the occasion. the speakers for the day were as follows: Mr J C Rushton, of Smoaks made the welcome address. D B Peurifoy, Esq., of Walter boro, was the next speaker, who spoke on Twentieth Century prog ress. Mr Peurifoy made a grand speech, and closed amid a roar of applause. Mr P C Garris, of this place was the next speaker His subject was “Uncle Sams Birthday.” Mr Gar ris as usual made a goodj speech. Mr Garris is always a humorous and entertaining speaker. He like Mr Peurifoy closed amid applause. * j Prof Guilds, of Bamberg, spoke j to the young people on the visions, of life. Mr Guilds is a very enter taining speaker. The last speaker of the day was G W Warreu, of Hampton, whose subject was Education. Mr Warren ! started off by telling a little story— 1 thus getting the attention of the audience at the beginning. Mr War ren spoke of the appalling condition | to which education is neglected in j South Carolina. Mr Warren|,is» one! of Colletons young sons, with a bright future before him. After the speaking concluded, a bountiful dinner was served which everybody seemed to enjoy. The pleasures of the afternoon were slightly marred, by a down pour of rain which lasted for quite a long time. There was a “double header” game of base ball scheduled with Ehr- hardt, but on account / 'f the rain and the wet condition of the field, one game was called off, and the other game was played amid great difficulties owing to the drizzling rain. The game lasted but seven innings, and was finally won by Ehr- hardt by a score of 13 to *10. Smoaks had a good lead on Ehr- hardt until the last inning when Ellis made two wild throws gave gave Ehrhardt the lead. Batteries, Ehrhardt, Moore and Hughes; Smoaks, Ellis, Kinsey, Riv ers and Rivers. The most enjoyable feature of the day was a social gathering given at the Hall in the evening in honor of the visiting people. Misses Mary and Minnie Heaton, of Branchville, and Miss Eula Cros by, of Harleyviile, is spending some time with Miss Katie Thomas. Mias Nettie Berry, of Branchville, ia visiting Mias Gertrude Berry. Mias Fran ease Lawson is spend ing some time with Mias Gertrude Berry. Mr Robert Black, of Flondo, ia visiting hit sister, Mrs J L Smoak. Mr Lee F Berry, has purchased a nice autotnobile to carry the mail. There it a move on foot to or-' ganize a bank at Smoaks with a cap ital of $15,000.00. A bank is great ly needed here and we hope that it will be a success. TED. N1NFUL ACCIDENT.
