On Friday evening, the 18th,.
the young folks of the community
had the pleasure of attending a
j moonlight picnic under the massive
live oaks in Mr. J. P. Gambled
avenue. The night was perfectly
lovely. The moon shone
j with all of its brilliancy, but it
appeared that many preferred the
shadows of some of the overj
hanging boughs to the bright
ravs of the moon. After a few
games had been played, all assembled
around the table to partake
of ice -cold lemonade and
delicious cakes, made by our fair
young girls. After refreshments.
swinging and promenading were
the principal amusements. Time
passed quickly, and before we
were awaie the dawn of the next
morning was approaching, ?e
then left for our homes, some all
smiles, while others departed with
isad hearts because the time of enjoyment
was at an end. We all
join in hearty (hanks and appreciation
to Mr. and Mrs. Gamble
for a most delightful evening.
Mi sses Hattie and Ada Bagnal
of Manning, after spending several
days with their sister, Mrs.
W. M. O'Bryan, returned home
last week.
A very acceptable rain fell in
this section Monday, and farmers
are rejoicing, as crops were suffering
very much on account of the
dry weather.
Miss. Ma-ian Izlar of Orange
burg is a welcome visitor in mis
community.
Messrs. W. M. O'Bryan, J. P.
Gamble, JR. 13. Keels, J. B. Clarksou,
R. II. Footman and E. R.
Lespsne, were among the prominent
fanners of this section who
attended the Farmers Institute in
Kingstree last Friday. They all
seemed delighted with what they
heard, and hope that this is but
the beginning of Institutes to be
held in Williamsburg.

NO MORE NEGRO OFFICERS.
Georgetown County to Make a Race
Issue.
Georgetown, Aug. 4., 1002?A
straight white ticket tor county
and legislative officers will be
nominated on the 26th and elected.
The negroes who for years
have been enjoying part of these
offices will not take kindly to the j
change, and have showed some]
symptoms of making strenuous
efforts to maintain the old regime
at the general election, but they
will avail nothing as the time has
come to put aside the compromise,
existing in our county for a good
number of years, and for which
there were good reasons the while.
A potent factor in the above conclusion
is the little escapade en-(
joyed at the courthouse two summers
ago, in which figured part
ot a regiment of troops with
llotchkiss and Gattling guns,
which is still Iresh m the minds
' of many.
