Mr. L. II. Koper went up to Flor enee
Friday and the Florence Iron
Works to do some repairing on an
engine.
Senator A. H. Williams came
home Sunday and remained over
until Monday night, when he returned
to Columbia.
Mr. L. D. Timmons, one of the
most substantial and highly respected
citizens of the Friendfieid
section of Florence county, spent
Thursday incur town.
Mr. W E. Severance has purchaa 0(1
a lot on Main Street just west of
Mr. J .1 Morris' residence. He will
build nil welling for himself in the
early spring.
M. J Hirsch and LeRoy Lee,
Esqrs.,appeared before Magistrate
(iaskins :t few days ago represontingone
Benjamin McClani who was
charged with selling property under
lein. They put uu a hard fight for
thei: client.
Acline Avenue has been laid out
up to Lake Street, and the roadway
and sidewalks have been built between
Main and Valley streets,
t Aeline (pronounced ack-line) is the
new name for Railroad Avenue,
which sounds too much like a flag
station lobe appropriate to a growing,
live town. Aclioe is formed by
taking the initials of thy first two
words and the lust word of Atlantic
Coast Line.
The Latin verb niuo lias about
seven hundred variations, while the
English love has only six. Nevertheless
a young trail of our acquaintance
(he is a good manipulator
if he does repeat syllables when
nervous) has managed to make
only one of those six variations
.(first person, singular?very singular?number,
indicative mood, present
tense, emphatic)encompass the
earth, for he says she is all the
world to him.
Commercial fertilizers arc coining
to this place in very large quantities.
The side track from the station
honse to Main Street presents
a line of cars day after day. As soon
as one is emptied another takes its
place. The wagons form an interesting
and lively spectacle. Yet
in the thinking mind apprehensions
will arise. It were a waste of time

we can not keep from wondering if
regrets will be reaped next fall,
Mr. X. Myers Graham, Jr., of
Scranto-i, and Miss Kva Andrews,
wf Bethel, X. (J., were united in
marriage at the Baptist parsonage,
bake City, on January :10th by Rev.
T.J. Rooke. Immediately after the
ceremony the young couple board*
ed the south bound train, followed
by the wishes of a number of the
friends (?fthe bridecroom who had
gathered to speed the departing
lwain. Mr. Graham is a son of our
sheriff and is well known and highly
esteemed in this town.
During the year 1000 Magistrate
Gaskins turned over to the county
treasurer from fines &l*>4.20 and
sent prisoners to the chain-gang
who served an aggregate of 360 day*.
We are inlomied that this record
far, far exceeds the combined
showings of all the other nine magistrates
of thceouuty. For this service
Magistrate Gaskins receives
the beggarly salary of $75. We
knew some magistrates in other
counties who are much inferior to
\Shoat-" Gaskins in ability and in
conscientious discharge of duty,but
are paid three or four times as
much for their services. This is
not as it should be.
The brick manufacturing plant
of which we wrote some weeks ago,
is beginning to loom in sight. We
understand the gentlemen interested
in forming the company Jiave
about agreed upon terms and will
soon have matters in permanent
shape. In order to settle upon the
exact location for the plant they
have sent clay from different points
around town to be tested, and will
build where these tests show the
best clay.
Blind tigers lrivo seemingly
si bout gone out of business in tin's
section. During the hist two
months there bus been less evidence
of drinking than at any other
time within two years. There are
several theories for this falling ofF
i?i bottle tilting, among which may
be mentioned the aetivityof the eonstables,
the attitude of the council
and the closing of the Kingstree dispensary.
Which is nearest the tree
cause we are not prepared to say,
tui of this we are certain, that
there bus been u considerable fall
inp off in public drunkness und that j
too at the very season when the n.se1
o?" liquors is usually greatest.
Representative J. Davis Carter
spent Saturday and Sunday
it 1inm<> PiV thr> wuv it
was with feelings of pride and gratification
that we noted his vote on I
the education hill. Mr. Carter is!
not a college bred man, but lie is a I
man of sound sense ami good judg-!
ment and be realizes that the great-1
est need of our .State is good com-!
111011 schools, and lie is ready to lend
j his aid to any move that will tend !
I to improve the miserable system j
; we now have, if it be not irony to 1
j designate such a farce as a system.
Mr. Carter voted with the losing
i side, but lie voted right, and on the
! child labor bill he was where we
| expected him to be.
I Some negroes are giving considerable
annoyance in the Gaskinsj
neighborhood. There are at least j
throe in the hand. The swamp and j
? T If If /!.. I
orancnes near .Mr. .j. n. \. urasKins
j seem to be the headquarters and:
lurking place. They come out in j
I the fields near these swamps and*
j frighten the hands ut work away j
t by threats and menaces. At night, i
I singly or together, they visit the j
| houses in the neighborhood and'
annoy the men and trighten the;
1 women and children with all sorts |
. of pranks, such as throwing bricks j
land pieces of wood against the
: h uses, peeping in windows,beating !
I trees, etc. They have, it seems,
| tried to break into one or two
| houses, and have been disturbed in
the act of trying to steal turkeys,
etc. In these and various other
ways they have the neighborhood ;
in a turmoil and feeling against
I them is running high. It is not imI
probable that the outcome will be I
serious. Even petty annoyances j
may be carried beyond .he point of
endurance.
