KC ; In the "watermelon contest''
inaugurated by the County Ke
cord, Mr. F. M. Nesmith, ot Morrisvifle,has
won the prize lor the
4 largest, ,the melon he sent in
weighing 54 pounds. Mr. Kobt.
Epps, of Mouzon, brought in the
i&ost deliciously flavored melon,
and thereby wins the prize in that
; contest. Among the other contestants
were Messrs J. C. Bell, of
?Flowler, whose melon weighed
45% pounds, and Heber Epps, of
Kingslree, who entered a melon
which tipped the scales at 51
ssgfj pounds. V
There is a young man whose
home is about three miles from
Kingstree, i" the direction of the
"sand hills," who has been spending
a good part of his time in
towD recently. Last Sunday the
mother of the young gentleman
sent a message to a relative in
KingUree explaining why she
could not attend preaching. It
read thus: "I cannot come in to
preaching today, as i: going
to take dinner with me." The
dash is in place of the name of
jpjj her son, whom really every body
thought kitook dinner" at his
home every day.
. Looking Ahead.
In the early spring when the tariff'
question was being discussed,
we felt sure that there would be a
heavy duty placed upon foreign
dress goods and we at once set
aKout to place our contracts for our
fall and winter supply of foreign
and domestic dress fabrics, and th*
result is that we today own a line
of ladies' fine dress goods from br>
to 20c. cheaper than our com peters
and we propose to give our patronsi
the benefit of our good buying. V'c
also wish to announce to the ladies
that we have secured some good
bargains in ribbons and millinery
goods; oh doz. ladies sailor hats for
fall and winter, from 15 to 75c each.
These hats are in all shapes and
styles black straws and felts. We
also wish our lady friends to know
that we have in the l?est equipped
millinery department in this part
of the slate, aud during the busy
season we keep from two to three
ladies busy in our ware rooms.
Ladies We want your trade in dry
goods and millinery and if you visit
our market this fall we feel sure i
you will be pleased with our goods
and the price we ask for them, We
carry a large line of Marsailes bed
spreads at 50c, 75c, $1 $1.25, $1.50
and $2 each. 50 doz. ladies fast

MCTW HELD,
! HAT S WHAT THE FACULTY SAID
OF f:-.-. TEACHER'S INSTITUTE.
The Attendance Was Larger Here
Than in Any Other
County.
The teachers' institute was
brought lo a close last Friday.
The faculty say it was the best
institute held in the Stale this
year; that it was better attended
by bolh teachers and spectator
and the young lady teachers toere
pre' ier and the gentlemen more
dignified than the average. At
the close of the institute Prof.
Hughes expressed himself as having
been very agreeably surprised
at Kingstree. lie said he had
been told, especially in Wanning,
that the town of Kingstree was
only a/'smutlv little town," and
that the court house v as not fit
for ladies to go into. He tound
Kingstree to be a tnost hospitable
place, the peop'e are refined and
intellectual, and as for the court
house, why. he said, it is one ot
the best in the state. In all. Prof
Hughes, and the other members

with the reception and the cour
icons treatment they received at
iho hands of the | < ople here.
Wednesday mVh? was given to
IVof. Iluirhes" ?vict.rated lecture,
man ip the moon." This
was weli received ami showed Mr.
Hughes to be in addition to his
numerous other accomplishments,
a lecturer,oi ex raordinary ability.
, Dr. John A. Kice of the Columbia
Female College addressed the
assemblage Thursday, night on
' The Mission of a Teacher." In
an earnest .and forcible manner
he dwelt on the responsibly of the
* *- 4 ? Al??l '1 m i m
leacner in irummg cuuuiui, impressing
ou teachers that the
early influences exerted on children
existed through life; that
they, the teachers, were necessarily
in a measure responsible
for the spiritual life of the child.
On Friday afternoon the institute
closed. The interest of the
people grew as the week advanc
ed, as was shown by the constant
increase of the attendance.
Not a little of the success of the
institute is due to Mr. N. D.
Le<esne, the popular and efficient
superintendent cf education. It
was he who selected the fine lac
and through his insfrunienfFalily
that I he distinguished visitors
or I lie week were here.
In addition to those prominent
personages - already mentioned
there were several other well
known teachers here trom abroad,
who took active parts in all that
pertained to the success of the
institute, and among them might
I be mentioned Prof. 0. W. Wolfe,
of Benneltsville graded school.
Prof. J. W. Gaines, of Welch
Neck High schoor, llartsvill; ProfW.
A. Marchant, member of the
State board of education; Prof. II.
W. Ackerman, principal of Lake
City High school, and Prof. EVC.
Dennis of Bishopvjlle, and last,
hut not least. Prof. W. L. Bass,
superintendent oi graded schools
at Blackville.
