I It was reported at 11 o'clock that Mr Gonzales was dying, and the immediate members of his family were summoned to the hospital. All efforts attempted by the physicians to save his life proved futile and Mr Gonzales continued to grow weaker until 1:10, when the physicians announced that death had come. It is announced that death was due to septic poisoning from the wound in the liver. After the last examination the doctors, at 11 o'clock, decided that there was no tnr the lif^ nf GntlXllIftS.

AN EPIDEMIC OF THIEVERY. i A Curfew Law Suggested as a Remedy for the Evil. Editor County Record:? | It has really reached the point j when endurance ceases to be a virtue. The stealing that is going on 1 in this town is trying not only to ' the patience, but to the religious sentiment of the sufferers. But a few nights ago one person lost a set of harness, and several other depredations have been recently committed. Last, but not least?as is my usual custom?I left my mediciue case on a bench in my piazza. Last Saturday night, and during the might some thief, having entered my ! premises, made way with it, thereby I giving me great inconvenience to atI tend an urgent call Sunday morning. ! It was necessary for me to rig up | another case, before I could go out to see my patient. No*', Mr. Editor, I had two little vials in that case, and I would give a liberal sum if the Contents of which were in the thief's stomach. But how shall we stop such petty thefts? I suggest this remedy. Let ( a bell be rung at nine o'clock at night during the winter, when every store shall be closed. Then rtiu every rat to his hole, or find one for ^ each that has none. Pay a good buriy policeman, properly armed, and equipped, to enforce the. plan. Yours respectfully, W. L. Wallace. J Kiugstree, S. C., Jan. 20 1903.

' e, The "Farmers' Institute" held at i>f Kiugstree last summer was such a Is success that I have no doubt that it rs is the wishes of the people of Willy liamsburg county that they have in another such "Institute" this apce proaching summer. Those members a of the faculty who conducted the id "Institute" last summer say that it )g was the best one they have had in to years. For us to be sure of having 5, this "Institute" this year, now is the id time for the application to be made go j for same. As you probably know, it is no n, expense to the county, whatever, all o- that is necessary, is that a number of ;r- the citizens ask for it, and the inle structors are sent out by the State, is, I hope you will work up an Institute ist for our county and I assure you, I sr, shall do all I can to make it a grand :es success. A member of the faculty ed told me this morning that now is vn the time to put in application, in order that its certainty may be assured. Very truly yours, . S.
