Saturday night just a few min 'teri to 12 o'clock some belated miewanl bound rambler fired bis .ucl piece of artillery several i, causing those who heard it k of fires or an unexpected (boorga Winson and the Crosland tiivo Stock Company havo ox? changed places. II in son now has tho stablos near tho postoffice, and Throop and Dana Crosland has Mrs Eden?' stables, fronting both Broad and Marlboro streets. '. ? . C ? Exuni, cotton buyer will occupy the store near the pest oflice, vacated by the Crosland Live Stock Co. The office he oc cupied in the Dr Townsend build ing, on Darlington street, is vacant at present. Dr C lt May has bought from Judge Hudson the office occupied by Townsend and Rogers. The latter have moved into tho office which Dr May occupied in the Townsend building. W J Jaldwin has moved his meat markot from the north side of Darlington street to the south side, in tho building which lie formerly occupied, but used by Mr Godwin during the past year. Dan C McLaurin, who has boon with tho McCall-Weatherly Co., will open a grocery storo in tho building vacated by Mr Baldwin. Dan E Odom has moved his automobile and repair shop to tho building which has been ?ecupied by tho Marlboro Democrat on Broad street. Tho Domocrat has been moved to tho Advocate building, Eason's book store, which has boen occupying the front of the Advocate building, has moved to Mrs Frank Crosland's building, which has boon used by E C Mor rison, as tho store room for auto mobilos. Mr Morrison will now uso a warehouse in tho rear of his office. Tho Bennettsvillo Mercantile Company has gone out of business and W L Tillman has moved from McColl and is occupying the Kirkwood b store, at the corner of Darlington and Broad streets. Tho Mercantile Company have moved tho balance of their stock into ono of tho stores next to tho Union Savings Bank Everett and Company have gone out of business and the store which they have been occupying on Broad street will be used by the owner, lt L Kirkwood, who is in th north buying a stock of goods. M W and J J Pearson, whole sale grocers, have dissolved co pardenship. Tho, business will be conducted hereafter by J J Pearson. B Y McGilvray, who has been manager of the Gem restaurant, is now with D E Odom. Geo A Bristow is now manager of the restaurant. Dr E II Goldberg bas moved his office from over tho Bank of Marlboro to tho Planters bank building. UWUtllllg in ?Mi?t iioiiiiyJbtSVIlle io Col. T. C. Hamer for the Gibson hotel; Edwin Moore has bought thc Geo. W. Waddill residence in East Bennettsvillo; .). Ii. and T. B. McLaurin have bought tho old Cook residence property. A good many merchants who havebecn large time and supply furnishers supplying many tenants] and renters, talcing agricultural [ liens as security, are.hesitating about taking these liens this year, onjaccount of tho agitation in ref erence to thc repeal of tho "Lien Law." Wc tcel yerfectly safe in saying to. them and all concerned, that while we believe that the I lien law will be repealed at tho| coming session ol' thc legislature that it will not go into effect be fore January 1st, 1909. Before the law can bo repealed a large number of liens will already have been given and many who favor the repeal of the lien law would not vote for an immediate taking] effect of it. Amos Thomas, colored, is one of the prosperous, well behaved citizens of his race, is a good worker anti.has no trouble in se curing a good home and thc best] of land to cultivate. Ho has mon ey in the bank and can got all thc credit bo wants in any store in MWm Ho made a quantity of syrup the past fall as fine as any sold in our market. First Monday to the great sur prise of all dawned cloudy and dreary wLh appearances os rain, but this did not prevent the big crowds of first Mondays in Jan uary, from coming to town. Thu B. & C. [rain beginningl Monday morning last leaves here at 8 o'clock a: m., instead ol' 6 o'clock, this change in schedul was made to effect connections at Kollock with Seaboard trains, which now pass that point later in tho morning. This may delay the B. ot C. train in returning to Ben nettsvillo with tho morning daily papers, anyway we have, anotbc string, which we can pull, tho Sumter midday train which is due boro at P2.03. With the big crop and higl prices of last year's cotton crop, and line corn and grain crops, lt does seem that collections should be good and money matters easy and plentiful. But instead, we are told that collections are diflicult, many good men yet have large ac counts remaining unpaid, and money is lund to get. One thing to cause this, the last crop was very expensive and farmers bought heavily and expensively yet local deposits are large and plentiful. Fire at McColl. On Tuesday night January Tili, tho Eustsido Baptist church in tho town of McColl caught on lire and was burned to the ground. This was a now building having been completed the past summer, and was located at the old factoid vil lage and was erected through the efforts of Miss Carroll and Baptist lady missionaries in that town. It cost about $2000 and fortunately was insured for tho amount of $1500 and will bc immediately re built. The origin of the tire waa from a defectivo flue, there was Bre in the stove that night for the prayer meeting service. -04.0 Officers Elected. The directors of the building and loan have elected tho follow ing officers: President Dr W J Crosland, Vico-Prosideut T E Mc Call, Secretary-Treasurer J K Owces. Tho first installment on tho stock has been paid in and tho association is now getting down to business. -0+0 Death of M V McGregor. Died at his home near Mason's Cross, on Wednesday morning January 1st Mr Martin Van Buren McGreggor, passed away after a long life of unabtrusivo usefulness. He was buried at tho Adams cemetery, Thursday morn ing in Adamsville this county. He married a daughter of Jack son Adams sister of Robt C Adams. -0+0 Thc School Grounds. Tho ladies of tho Civic League are very anxious to fill in the gaps in tho hedge around the school grounds. About 250 plants will be necessary to do this, Any one who can spare rooted privet plants, if only a few, are asked to commu nicate with Mrs C P Townsend, phone 130, or Mrs James A Drake, phone 107. Some one will be sent to get the plants. The ladies of the league earnest ly request the public not to drive through the walks of the Murchi son school grounds. The walks ure being badly cut up by vehicles, and will be ruined unless the pro miscuous driving over them is stopped. -0*0 NOTICE.

A?< ndsy. .....o I?ouJ??y. which was ?ha first Monday of the new yoar, i .dew a large crowd to town from I di the surrounding sections. Not M only the people of Marlboro conn ? ' y but also the inhabitants from 1 the surrounding counties ?anzo to 1 he thriving seat of Marlboro' to .? do their trading and meet tho 1 .'Honda both' oin business and for 1 personal reasons. Everybody did it rushing business and all wera well pleased with th? . work not withstanding the rather raw weath- . dr and the threatening rain. i Penny Bros. & Company, tho . noted Greensboro finn, had an motion salo of horses. They had < advertised tho sale and had rented tho old Hinson stable for the oc casion. One of the ear load of horses was delayed and was turned . back to Rich mond as they could not reach hore in timo. Howeve** i this hustling crowd sold 20 horses : tho total sale amounting to some- ; thing over $2800. The auction cers kept the crowd in the best of humor and the bidding was lively 1 emd spirited. Tho horses were ! sold without reserve as they had declared and the people's price wont. Not very long before Christmas ; Penny Bros. conducted the sale of the Murchison lots which was BO successful. They sold during the] past year in North Carolina alone ] more than 2500 head of horses. i Auctioneor Jas. F. David sold i 47 head of animals, Breeden 10. ' Lewis 10, and Fuller ll. It will thus be seen that quito a lot of . horses were sold hero on last Mon- ' day, showing what the people of this vicinity think of good horses. It was stated by tho sol loni that , tho horses brought good prices ; and better than had ever boon the ' case. There is certainly no indi- ' cation of money stringency around ! Benncttsville. Tho bidders wore plentiful and paid good prices for thc stock in many cases. Besides the above there was much private trading, The first : Monday of each month always draws a large crowd hore and all who have any trading or soiling j to do get hore on that day and i have no trouble in finding a ready * market, all of which is indicativo < oi tho wondersul prosperity of . this region. < Thc Clerk of Court sold the G. 1 AV. Waddill residence property 1 bought by B. E. Mooro at $3,750. Tho Sheriff sold a lot in the town of Clio, property of Mollie Gibson, sold nt suit of J. C. Burch, bought by Henry Herring and John Barrentine at $540.00. Bank of Marlboro against J. F. Bennett, as administrator, of the estate of G. W. Bennett 106 acres of land, the old homestead of G. Wash Bennett and others at I. His successor will bo nominat- * 1 by a mass meeting of tho citi ?,ns which will bc held on tho 15th st in tho court house, There as some discussion as to the man ir of making tho nomination but was decided to hold a mass meet ig to nominate a man for tho un- , cpired term, and at that time the tizons could decide tho manner of J omihation in tho future. Mr W i Kelly was elected Chief of I 'olice at a salary of $e? per month ? nd will at once enter upon his i uties. ' The question of submitting the omination of a mayor to a pri mary is being agitated very strong- < y. Some of the leading citizens 1 lave been hoard to express them ed vos in its favor and conncil de- . i dod that at the mass meeting the itizens could decided whether they van ted to continuo tho present >lan or nominate by, primary. Thc primary system is now in use in nominating all of tho state offi ces, the county officials, and in most counties tho ?mailor officers aro also chosen in the same way. Thc mass meeting plan was for merly in general uso but, as one leading votor said the other day, it is now a thing of the past. This promises to be a very interesting question and no doubt tho coming meeting of the citizens will make some changes. It is regretted that Maysr Hod ges has found it necessary to re sign. Ile has made a faithful and conscientious official and has dis charged tho duties of his^ office without fear or favor. He has given the city a wiso administra tion and under his guidance every thing luis prospered. In his new held he will undoubtedly make a great success and ho carries with him the best wishes of every citi - zen without regard to denomina tion. Mr. Hodges Will koop his headquarters in this city and will work his field from hero. Ho loft Wednesday for Columbia to take up his new duties. Mr. C. S. Chaffin is mayor pro tem and will be at tho hoad of af fairs until after the election of the man whom tho citizens nominate in mass meeting. Tho general election for mayor ?viii bo held on Jan. 21.
