1'resident Theodore Roose.velt
and his parly will leave Washington
April 7th to visit the Charleston
exposition.
Last Monday, at a special term
of court held in Florence, with
Judge Purdy presiding,.. Julius
iaibbes, a ncgio charged with a
heinous crime, was found guilty
a?d sentenced to ba hanged.
The day set for the execution is
April 25.
Dr. A. Toomer Porter, one of
the oldest and ablest Episcopal
preacheis of the State, died at his
home in Charleston last Sunday
night. Dr. Porter is best known
as the founder of the excellent
high school for boys, which bears
his name. The Porter Academy,
of Charleston, will be a lasting
monument to his memory.
We welcome among our exchanges
the Lee County Vindicav
tor, a four-column quarto newspaper
published at Bisliopville,
6. C., with II. S4 Cunningham as
t editor and proprietor. The Vindicator
is all home print' and the
initial numbers are bright and
newsy. Mr. Cunningham is a native
of this county, and-is well
-? known in the State among the

Mr. B. W.'Spann is still suffering
ft ' with his sore- foot. Wo hope be
will soon recover.
March has been exceptionally
ftne this year* which may be a
token of prosperity.
A larger part of the crops this
/. year will he corn, peas ami other
grain. V'e hope tho people will
pull through with an abundant
harvest as a reward for honest toil.
At the resilience of Mr. Laurie
Tisdale the young folks of this
neighborhood had an Easter egg
hunt last Friday night, which was
quite an enjoyable affair. The
evening was spent in the usual
games and diversions near to tne
hearts of the young and gay.
This community has Wen very
<vuiet* nf late. Tlie cause, we presume,
is that it is planting season
and everybody is too busy to be
visiting or goiDg abroad,1 even to i
the county-seat. The order of the j
day is planting corn, which wiH be j
finished probably this week. The;
farmers are generally short of corn.}
the crop last year being almo-ta
total failure. Early corn and "six |
weeks" pea patches arc the go this I
year wiMi well cared for gardens'
in confi&tion. These will hardly!
tide ovyPfhe people, amfit is feared j
that bvd'rt with forward crops- a.
great many, especially the colored \
people, will find a very stumpy!
road fo travel. These are tough" i
timeaV now and worse coming.
Already we have heard "of at^majs

This will b? perhaps the hardest
fear that our farmers hare had to
contend with since the war, and feeling
this ourselves we arc going to
make it a study to try to place provisions
of all kinds in Kingstree for
is little money as they possibly can
be laid down here tor aud sold on a
strictly cash basis. Any business
man knows that Corn, Grits. Bacon,
Molasses, Flour and such like goods
ire the Bame as money. And what
3iir people need in Kingstree is a
man who is able to tope with the
outside business world and bring
them to their doors as cheap as they *
:an get them in any market. 1 his
;an only be done with the money,
ind at the outset we want to tell oar
customers that it takes money to run
this kind of business. It never has
been attempted here before. It is
purely experimental, and whether it
shall succeed er fail depends upon
the support the peoplt shal^ give it.
In this day and age in order to keep
up with the markets of the world \
a man has to study themand make it a >
business aud get prices way down ii>
ardor co know when and where to \
buy. With these introductory
remarks we want now briefly to tell
jrou some of the goods we handle, viz:
CORN, SUGAR,
OATS, COFFEE, 2
HAY, CIGARS,
GRITS, TOBACCO, . '
MEAL, SALT,

SOAP, OIL,
CANNED GOODS.
For prices come] to see us. We
sell the goods just as low as they can
