Mr. Hassie Wall of Marion was
in town the early part of the week.
Mrs. Dr. DuRant went up to
Columbia Friday to visit at her
old home.
1 Rev. S. S. Gasque came down
from Lilesville, N. 0., on a visit a
few days ago.
Mrs. D. M. Epps, wh^ visited
relatives in Charleston, lias returned
home.
8. W. G. Shipp, E>q., spent a
day last week in our lown on professional
business.
Mr. Arlhur Moore ot South
l>oston, Va., is here with his
hi other, Mr. W. S. Moore.
Mr. David SutchfTe is spending
some tn?e with his parents on
corner of AcJine avenue ana
Charles street.
We had a tine rain Monday afternoon.
This was much needed,
and will no doubt be of vast beneft.
fit to all field and garden crops.
Tobacco buyers W. D. Majors
and E. T. White, both ot Souin
Boston, Va., came in last week,
? and have settled down to business.
We need small enterprises that
; will furnish labor to the idlejiands
. and that will bring money into
the country. There are plenty of
I stores throughout the country,
but factories, manufacturing concerns
are too few, and are just
what is needed to build up the
town and community.
Auctioneer Motley's voice has
beer: heard at the Star Warehouse
for several days. Became in last
week. Mr. Motley doesn't have
much effect on the scalds, but in
1 he matter of the amount of noise
that comes tiom the hole in his
hp i? pdiinl to a base ball
rine with the rooters thrown in
lor ?Ood measure.
Mr. Bertie Morris, son of Mr.
Henry Morris ut Rosemary, was
buried in the Askins cemetery
here last Thursday. He died at
* Jus father's of typhoid lever, and
his body was brought up on u78''
Thursday morning. Mr. Morris
, was well known here, having been
a pupil at the Lake City High
.St'hoo! under the pnncipalship ol
'Mr. Aekerman. Mr. J. J. Morris,
our fellow townsman, is his uncle.

dinner was a good one, and was
enjoyed. In the afternoon there
, was a game ot base ball between
'lake Ciiv and Workman. The
I name was never finished, as diss

Friday about a dozen negroes
went to Kingstree in Mr. II. 0.
Godwin's wagon. On the wav
I
! back A us Burgess began to throw
'around words not learned in Sunidav
school, whereupon Mr. Godj
win put him out. U. H. Kichardson,
the barber, became offended
at this and look liis place in the
: road with A us. The two had a
! walk of about eight miles to reach
home. That night all hands ati
tended a hot supper. It is by no
' means a difficult matter to guess
the rest, A negro hot supper
i without a row seems beyond the
pale of probability. Hie town
council passed around the hat
i Monday morning and look in a
few dollars.

Mr. B. M. Clement has purI
chased a brick making out lit, enigine,
boiler, pug mill, etc., and
| will go into the business without
'delay. lie has secured land from
I Mrs. L. E. Knight in the angle
' formed by the Lake City and
Kingstree road and the railroad in
the Southern part of town and
near the boundary. This is an
excellent location?convenient to
r-ii 1 rn??<"l In clrnM nnii to tllP town.
[The plant will have a capacity of
from 5,000 to 8,000 bricks per day.
We are triad to see such an enterprise
open up. and we believe
thut it will prove a good investment
to him who has the temerity
to make the venture as well as to
the entire community.
The matter of dispensaries at
Lake City and Scranton is again
atlractingattention. W.L. Hass and
S. W. (L Shipp, who obtained the
injunction lasi. spring, are the attorneys
lor those who are resisting
the efforts to establish dispensaries
at these nlaces. On Thurs
day Judge Dantzler granted a
temporary injunction restraining
the County Hoard of Control from
taking any further steps towards
establishing dispensaries at Lake
City and Scranton. in Lee township.
and at the same time issued a
jrule requiring the Board of Oon!
trol to sho.v cause at Orangeburg
on the 16th instant why the injunction
should not be made permanent.
The attorneys in these
leases (there are two?one as to
Lake City and one as to Scran'on)
raise a number of questions. The
j constitutionality of the dispensary
i law is attacked on several grounds,
litis claimed that the law contra
venes two different sections of tlie
'constitution. The different ques!
tions raised and the grounds upon
i which the constitutionality of 'lie
! hnv i? attacked would hardly be
! of much interest to the general
public. Sufficient to say dispensaries
will not be opened at once
and possibly not at all under the
present law.

The young folks enjoyed a lawn
party at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Johnson last Wednesday
night. They all repott a pleasant
time.
We are sorry to report a great
deal of sickness in our community.
Our tobacco farmers are busy
curing the weed. They all seem
to be well pleased with the prospects.
Your scribe had the pleasure of
attending a basket picnic in the
grove of Mr. It- B. McClarv, near
Kingstree, Thursday. This picnic

cenainiy is wormy 01 a "wnieup,''
but I feel that it is I that am
not worthy to do the writing.
Notwithstanding the hot, dry and
dusty weather, the day was a perfect
success in every particular,
from the heavily ladeA table ol
delicious viands to the tempting,
coojjng and delightful lemonade
barrel. And last, but not t?y any
means least, the enchanting smiles
| of no many bright, pretty anu
; charming girls.
All we lacked was a lew of
| those pleasant fellows?the candi!
dates.
The crowd lingered beneath the
spreading branches ot the shady
I oaks until the descending sun was
; growing golden, then the old folks
wended their way homeward,
while the youth and beauty repaired
to the pleasant home of
Mrs. Hanna, where they enjoyed
'skipping the light tasiastic toe'*
until the light of day had vanished
and even the night was tar
spent. At last reluctantly the
picnickers said good-bye and departed
for home, carrying in their
minds pictures that will hang on
the walls of tnemoiy never to be
effaced by the cobwebs of time.
