A N SHtcliffe "moved into bis handsome new house last week. We believe ihat this is the most ex|>ensive residence in our town. Mr. Bruuson, the contractor, returned to Charleston last week after turning the job over to the owner. W II Wells, Esq., of the Florence bar, spent Monday in town en business in Magistrate Gaskins' court. It was a civil case in which Mr. Wells was himself the plaintiff. He *i?(Mired iudrment by default, the claim being such a just one that the defendant undertook to put up no defence. Martin Severance, is bow the night telegraph operator at Bumter. This certainly speaks well fer youug Severance. He Is barely 17 years of age, and has hud no better opportunities than hosts of other hoys, many of whom have not attained to anything whatsoever, while Martin has climbed to this important and responsible position. We congratulate him and feel proud of him. These days the magistrate is occupied more with civil than with criminal business. Two criminal cases were called in the last session, which was held on Friday. A verdict ?f not guilty was promptly rendered in one case, while the verdict in the other was withheld for a few days for consideration. Cases of enforcement of agricultural Hens and the like are of almost daily occurrence. The short crops are, no doubt, largely responsible for these cases. A party of ten men of our community purchased from G. M. Timiu ?ns the privilege of letting off the w.iter from his mill pond iu Florence county and taking therefrom all I ho lisri they might be able. The party we>-1 over Monday night to open the gates to allow the water t-> ren off. And as soon as it is low enough they will go in with not*, brush, iron* and other things and wilt no doubt secure a quantity of ti h. The water has not been turnod ?.ff that pond in twenty-eight years. The successful formation of the Lake t iry, Cades and Kingstr* e telephone line is the most important bit of businetB news that we have to note. We are informed by a member of the company that all of the stock hu* been paid in, the line surveyed and the poies being put in place. There will bo one phone in Lake City, two in Cades tinci one in Kingstree. All of the! block is owned in Lake City and ade>. This enterprise will l>e found of great benefit to all that section. We should feel proud of our tobacco market, and those whom credit for its success is due should be congratulated and should be assured of our appreciation of their efforts. This has been a very bad year on all or nearly all crops. The tobacco crop was very short all over the country, and the little that was made was of an inferior grade and extremely light,?it requiring, as a man expressed it a thousand pound* to weigh three hundred. Notwithstanding this short crop our market not only held its own iu the number of pounds ami in the price paid but actually surpassed tast year's rec.' rd in ln>th respects eare informed on good authority that this is the ouly market in this entire section of the stHte that does not show a falling off from last year. At some of these markets the falling off has been twenty per cent. On the other hand there hus been a gain at Lake City. 80 far there has been sold about forty per cent more than was sold during the entire iast season, und by the time this season closes the gain will, in all probability, reach fifty per cent more than last your. This no idle boast but the old fact, however unpalatable it may be to some of our neighboring market*, particularly 10 those that have been so Jealous, of LakeClty andhavo exert vJ them-1 H-ive* to pull down our market. ( This RUtcewM, to marked and in the,' f tee of *0 many difficulties, proves how highly this placo U regarded. a* a market by tobacco growers. They get here top prices and straight dealings and consequently they are bringing their goods here, i Our market >? now firmly establish-; ed and will steadily continue to ! climb toward eminence that bo-' longs to us by virtue of geographi- 1 cal situation, facilities for handling goods, railroad accomodations, accessibility, top prices and straight, honest dealings. With regard to the matter of a dispensary at Lake City. We stat- j ed last week that the managers an-| nounced that the election of the Il'th I instant resulted in a tie, each side receivingthe same number of votes. We neglected to state that two blank ballots were voted. There were sixty two ballots cast, thirty containing "Yes," and thirty containinc "No," and two blank. The town council held a meeting on the 17th tactnvaro the returns and de? clare the result. A report was made to the county board of control n Monday. The following extract from that report gives the action of the council on the matter: A petition praying that an election be heid on said question and signed by more than one fourth of the qualified electors of said town, having been filed with the town council, said council ordered an election to be heid on October 12, 1901, on said questiou, those in favor of the establishment of a dispensary to vote ye? and those opposed, to vote no. Said election was accordingly held on said Oct. 12th, 1901. The managers declared that of the votes cast thirty were yes, and thirty no, and two were blank, making a total of sixty two votes cast, and so returned in their certificate. At a meeting ef the council held on October 17th, 1&01, the return of the managers was found to be correct, and on a canvass of the ballots cast it was found and declared that of the votes cast thirty were yes and thirty ne and two were blank, containing neither yes nor no. Some affidavits were submitted to council stating facts which it was claimed showed that C P Hatfield was a elector and should have been permitted to vote but was denied privilege, so it was alleged, and that W W Cook, who was permitted to vote, was not a qualified elector. After discusing said uifiidavits the following motion was made and carried: That inasmuch as Mr. C P Hatfield, who was entitled to vote was net allowed to vote, Mr. W W Cook's vote be not counted. The affidavit of W W Cook declared that he had voted no. Then on motion,the following was declared to be the result of said election: In favor of a dispensary,thirty votes. Opposed to a dispensary, twenty nine votes. M. M. Rodgera is an applicant for the position of dispenser at this place. Of course it is by no 1 means certain that a dispensary -?111 k. ...^kllAAd Will UV QSWUIinucu uric, uni in v. n o it one be opened here he asks for the position.
