Little Ethel, daughter of Mr.Kenn'e
Fitch, fell out of a window some
days ago and broke her arm. Dr.
DuRant set the arm and attended
the little patient. .Sho is recover-j
ing nicely.
Mr. McGee, an old gentleman,was j
thrown from his buggy not long
since. He was pretty badly shaken
up and received some wounds,
among them a large cut on tb.ej
head. The wounds were attended ;
to by l>r. Durant. !
\Tutters were verv dull in court !
; circles last week. There were some j
cases in the ir.tendant'9 and in the
magistrate's courts, hut only one
conviction in each court was secur- j
ed, and both of those were for min-i
or offenses to which pleas of guilty j
were entered.
Mrs. W. It. Baker and her (laugh
ter, .Miss Pauline,came down Tues- i
day. These ladies uere gladly wel- i
-coined by their friends, of which :
. they have manvin this town. Mrs.
Baker is the wife of Rev. W. B. Baker,
who was pastor of the Method- j
, ist church here not many years ago.
Miss Pauline has grown to be quite

The number of transients was many,1
We hud a tremendous rain Sun-i
day afternoon accompanied by j
high winds and terrific thunder, j
The roar was continuous and to the
timid appalling. The wind was almost
a gale,and the rain fell in great
- ' sheets. No damage was done except
The Mowing down *f a few
trees and >? little fencing. Heavy
imins fell Monday also. We are iu?f
rined that Sunday afternoon's j
wind moved Mr. John Moore's!
park house off the pillars. Must
have been more than brdeze.
The berry season is about over.
While the quantity of berries is ?e ;
great a> it was a week ago the |
I rices have fallen so low that they
will not pay expenses. This applies
to Northern markets especially.!
Shipments continue to he made to)
rear-by places as Richmond,Lynch-:

ail this has been the most unsatis-j
factory season that our growers
have known since the establish-j
went of the berry industry. Like
everything else, it has its ups and
downs. Perpetual favor cannot be ]

of tlie presence of smallpox in
Kingstree. While in form it is light,
yet very few want it jn any form.

ing through an experience that
Luke City had a little more than a j
year ago, and we speak what wej
do know when we say that the ex-1
perienc? is far from pleasant. Jti
was hard, very hard, to convince j
our people that we really had the!
tread disease among us, but finally !

?or doubt. Just so it will be in I
"Kingstree. A genuine confluent

tinned la?t week. We want to say
this. Front all the information we
ean gather Supt. Wheeler was not
in any way to blame for the occurrence.
Mr. Wheeler,as is his ens.
tout, went home Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Moulds, the guard, also
went to his i.oni" leaving his son, a
mere Uty twelve (r fourteen years
of age, to take care of the camp.
It was this hoy who opened the
dottr next morning when Melvin
-and Mack dashed out. Mr. Wheeler
says that the leaving of this boy
in charge was in plain di*?egard of
<Lis positive instructions, seeing
s\ . *
almost incredible that one should ;
entrust a lot of convicts, and some
of them desperate characters, perhaps,
to a child. And it is almost:
stranger still, that only two escaped.'
I Jule Mack has not been recaptured
j yet. Mr. Wheeler* however, seems
I confident that he will be secured |
before long. This would be a mat-:
tor of congratulation.
