in quest of fiah. They report an
enjoyable occasion and plenty of
iSsh, about sixty bream, etc. ,
^Numbers of our people are
Tflockitig to the exposition every
week. We can not undertake to

Ml
week. Hence we win name none.
Our visitors from the North who
, -ccnee here every spring have a
' good many comments to make
upon the great improvement in
our town during ihe last twelve to
eighteen months.
t
kast year two crates of straw
berries were shipped from hereon
April 27th, this year one hundred
and thirty four crates were shipped.
.This shows how backward
' the season was in 1901.

' , Mr. \V. J. Godwin, who went to

last week, and bought out
the blacksmith and repair shop of
T. McGee and will carry on his
old trade. The boys will come
back. They can't help it.
We are needing rain very

not tran??planted, can not do soi

Mr. Harry Gulbreth, who represents
Ii. W. Dixo.i, New York,
tells us that he is iaytng hit plans
for moving here within a twelvemonth
to go into the trucking business.
We shall be glad to welcome
him among us. New life,
new methods, new energy will
improve our country as nothing
else will.
We received a letter a few days
-ago from a man in Chiliicethe,
' Ohio., who wishes to buy land in

this section in large tracts for s
number of families who vramt tc
come here and settle. The tide
of immigration is bound to swing
around towards the South, in fact
it is already beginning to set in
our direction.
Mess Rodgers& Gaskins, a new
firm composed of E. M Rodgers
and J. II. V. Gaskins, are opening
up a double-barrelled soda
water and cold drinks establishment.
They will run two lountains,
one for whites and the other
for negroes. This is a new departure
and it remains to be seen
how cuffv will receive it.
We understand that a good
many fish are being taken from
Lynch? River now. This news
has a very disturbing effect upon
our nerves, and should the news
be confirmed by a late report, we
will not hold ourselves responsi
ble for the consequences. Human
nature, especially our fishing nature,
can't stand every thing.
Mr. G. L. Sauls, of Cades, is
speaking of coming to Lake
City and going into the hardware
business. We hope that he will do
so. We are always glad to welcome
*
a good man among us, and we believe
he would succeed in the business
contemplated. Further,
should he secure a lot in a good
location, he will build a brick
house. This would be a step forward
lor our town and one that
we would delight to see taken.
A few davs ago a prominent
and highly respected larmer ol
the Indiantown section, in speaking
of the dispensary situation, remarked
that he sincerely hoped
that a dispensary would not be
established in Lake City; that as
matters now stand he felt 6afe in
sending his wife and daughters
here to do their shopping, and
that were there a liquor establishment
here, he would certainly
be forced to have his family trade
elsewhere. Still some people say
that a dispensary would help
business.

Mr. Editor, I wish you good
luck and hope that you may edit
our paper, Ihk County Record
as long as you live.
Farmers of this neighborhood
are uot yet through planting cotton,
and a few have not finished
corn planting. We are needing
rain badly.
Mr. Editor, I should be glad tn
have you pay our neighborhood
a visit. The people here would
be pleased to receive a visit iroin
the editor of their county paper.
The news of the death of the
old Confederate veteran, Capt. J
F. Carrawav, was received here
with much regret. It is sad tr
see these gallant old soldiers passing
away.
Fishing is getting to be a popular
recreation with onr folks,
both young and old; and many oi
the finny denizens of the deep
find themselves dangling at the
end ot a hook.
We should be glad to have the
chaiugang do seme work on the
road between Indiantown and
Rhems This community has nol
had the roads \yorked by the conn
ty yet, as has been the case in oilier
neighborhoods. We hope U
have the supervisor send the public
road builders here ere long.

! Mr. H. H. Cook, of Charleston,
relieved Section Master Reddick
1 here last week.
The Misses Haselden, who hare
been visiting the family of Dr. W.
11 J. Ilaseiden, returned Friday to
Lake City.
Misses Bessie and Callie Price
returned home last week after
spending some time with relatives
in Georgetown.
Mr. Bravnard Joyner, who
clerks for A. A. May, is sick of
chills and fever this week at his
home at Lake City.
The many friends of Miss Dessie
McElveen were glad to see her
in town recently. She was accompanied
by her sister.
Mr. C. C. Cade informs this
correspondent that if no disaster
occurs he will be able in a few
days to begin shipping beans from |
his truck farm.
It is reported that Mr. J. N.I
Sauls will remove his saw mill
here in a few days. It is to be
hoped that he will, as a plant of
this sort is much needed in Cades.
Mr. E. J. Smith, who is superintendent
of the Methodist Sunday
school here, was unable to attend
last Sunday owing to the illness
of his little son, Arthur, who
has a severe attack of pneumonia.
The following persons from here
took m the exposition last week:
Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Sauls, Mrs. E.
H. Sauls and son, LeRoy, R. E.

others of this vicinity whose

We understand that Lake City's
second nine was expected to play
a game with Cades' second nine
Saturday afternoon on the lafter's
grounds, but for some reason the
expected visitors tailed to show
tip; hence it yet remains to be
decided which tei^m is the stronger.
We understand that Mr. P. M.
i Rrookinton is bein<r ur?*ed by his
friends to seek public honors.
There was no truer citizen of Williamsburg
county ban his father,
the lamented Robert Brockinton,
an J his son should be entitled to
some recognition. Moreover, Mr.
Brockinton is a hightoned gentleman
and is worthy of any Jionors
that might bj bestowed upon him.
This correspondent did not witness
the match game of ball last
Saturday between Cades and
Kingstree, played on the letter's
(diamond, but we understand that
the score stood 16 to 23 in favor
of Kingstree. It is claimed in extenuation
of this detent that Cades
played only six of her regular
team against Kingstree's full nine.
Of course Kingstree's success may
be partly attributed to this circumstance.

Marriage at Possum Fork.
i
( Editor County Record:
I am happy te announce the

I estimable christian woman and
. earnest Sunday-scnooi worKer,
Mrs. N. 0. Poston, on next Sunday
afternoon at Johnsenville
f church, after preaching by Rev.
D. Durant. I think it a good bargain
on both sides, but I can't
help bat say that he has a little
the best of it. We send them, in
advance, our earnest congratulai
tions. It makes us feel more like
> paying our quarterage in advance,
" provided, nevertheless, that he
\ stall promise not to carry iter to
