sunshiny weather.

a week's bout with a well developed
case of chill and fever is at his
post again.
Died, on Saturday, September
17, Cooper, aged six years, the
daughter of Mr. and A)r*. S M AleClary.
Our correspondents have done
well this week. We hope thev
will continue to keep us informed
of the news all over the county.
The primaries being over, the
next thing in order is to register
.and be prepared to support the
.nominees in the general election
on the 8th of November.
Rev. A B Earle tilled his regular
appointment at the Methodist
church last Sunday night. Those

and instructive sermon.
Mr. Deems Epps has been, and
ering from an attack of

past few days, is much improved,
however.
Evangelist Williams has pitched
his tent on the vacant space
next to the Ueleman House, where
daily and nightly with his assis

Anderson's Heavy Battery, pa^eci

to the home ol the latter on a short

The apologies for street lamps
in town, on a dark night, serve but
to accentuate the obscurity. A
very poor quality of oil must be
used, or the lamps are not properattended
to.
The hour for services at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning was given to the burial
of Mr. S M McCIary's little girl,
which took place at 11 o'clock,
Kev. J E Dunlop officiating.
The fall session of the Kingstree
Academy began last Thursday,
with Mr. OlinEpps, the principal,
Miss Eva Riser, his assistant, both
in their places. They have a lair
enrolment, and the scholastic year
bids fair to be a successful one.
A social event looked forward
to with much interest is the ball at
the Coleman House this (Thursday)
evening. Anticipation runs
Jiigh with the young folks who
dance, and the affair promises to
be quite recherche.
Trade seems to be pretty lively,
and our merchants are opening up
lots of new fall goods to please the
most exacting. Watch the col
umns of the Record and trade
where you can get the best bar
gains.
A communication from Rhems
had to be left out this week because
it was not signed by the
writer. It seems difficult to persuade
our correspondents that we
are not joking about requiring the
real name of the writer before
publishing an article.

A Colored Scrap.
What come near being a serious
row occurred on Main street, near
the dispensary, last Saturday
night between Ambrose Tisdale
and David Williams. The two
negroes were indulging in some
personalities interspersedwithcursg

]iams over ihe head with his stick.
In retaliation Williams drew his
pistol and addressed a thirty-two
calibre remark in the direction of
Tisdale, who was standing not live
feet away. The ball sped harmlessly
by and Williams look to his
heels. Ambrose is hunting for his
assailant and avows his intention
of carrying the case into Court.
A marshal is mrch needed in
town to regulate these brawling
disturbersof the nignt.
Any sensible man would give
all he knows to know one halt of

are all delighted.
The regiment left Columbia
Thursday afternoon, all in high
spirits, and there was very little
to mar the pleasure of the ride.
The first battalion, under Major
Eaves, left on the third train, and
the third, under Major Wagener,
on the first. Col. Jones accompanied
the third. The trip of the
first battalion was almost without
incident. At one time some
members of the first regiment, who
were "beating'' their way back to
Jacksonville, almost caused trouble,
but that was soon quieted
down.
The first battalion was the first
to reach Camp Cubre Libre,reaching
there about S o'clock vesterQay

tiie last battalion to arrive. The
third left Columbia promptly at
5:30 p. in., Wednesday, but did
