Wo understand our town has i
' scooped in" $25 this week, being I
the amount paid in for fines imposed
by Mayor Kennedy. The
town needi improvement, and
this money wiP be profitably ex- '
pended.
Althengh a Inrge number ol
peoplo came to town this wsek, 1
they do not seem inclined to star '
any longer than possible. It is a '
ba?y timo with our farmers, and 1
they ?ee:n to realize the fact that '
their preseree is required at
home just now.

A graat quanty of whisky has
been drank in Kingstree this week, i
We are sorry to note this fact, as
it seems to indicate that whisky <
drinking in Williamsburg county
is on the increase. It may be <
that ail the old topers take ad- (
vantage of court week to come to i
Kiagstree to utank t?p,M which
makes it appear that the habit is
on the iucrea?e, or it may o* mai

they were contronted with an accumulation
of business entailing
i week's hard work.
At 10 o'clock Monday morning
the court was ready for business
*nd the week's work began.
Judge Watt's charge to the grand

A true bill has been rendered
in the case of the State against
Frank M Player for breach of
trust with fraudulent iutent.
When this case was called
for trial, the defendant being
absent, his attorney, LeRoy Lee,
Esq., explained to the court that j
he had received information that:
i
his client, who is on bond, was j
sick at his home, whereupon :
Judge Watts by request of the so- J
licitor,issued a bench warrant and >
sent alter the defendant, not
deetniug his excuse valil without
the certificate ot a physieiun.
II is Honor also instructed
the sheriff to have Doctor j
W. G. Gamble accompany him I
to examine into Mr. Players condition
and, if necessary, give hi**'
the required certificate. Several
hours later the sheriff returned
with Mr. Player, Dr Gamble certifying
that while Mr. Player*# vi J
tality was somewhat reduced as a
result of influenza, he did not I
think it to tmneri! tllCi
latter'* life or to jeopardize hi*!
health. The case will be tried
to-morrow morning.
We learn that Mexori. Jack
?!cCIary and ? lianna, livingj
near Epps pctoflice, were out :
hunting last Saturday morniug
and that Mr- Hanna shot at a rabbit
and hit Mr. McClary, one ihof
taking effect in the ere. Dr. Scott
treated the ease, but is afraid to
remove the shot for fear of losing
the eye, ani advised Mr. McClarv
to see a specialist.
