Last Sunday a collection was
taken up in the Tabernacle Baptist
church, of Atlanta, Ga., to raise
money to pay a $15,000 debt on the
church property. When the money
was counted it amounted to $16,500.
Notwithstanding the gibes of
more conservative cities at the "Atlanta
spiritv there are many things
about the Georgia metropolis that
might be patterned after by other
oommunities, whether they be large
Or small.
In another column appears a notice
that on the fir6t Monday in
November the board of county
commissioners will let the contract
for building a new brick jail. This
means that erelong the old ram
shackle structure that has done duty
as a place of detention for malefactors
will be torn down and replaced
by a substantial building with modern
appointments "out aud out".
We congratulate the board on this
step, which we believe will be commended
by every right-thinking citizen.

(Written for last week)
Bensox, October, 8:?A game ot
kooa.Kall was h?*r?> Saturday
UOOV UMlt "WW Y v ?? - ? J
afternoon, October 3, between Benson
and Black River teams, resulting
in a score of 22 to 3 in favor of
Black River. The home boys claim
that while they had challenged
Blftck River, they received no notice
of the challenge being accepted; consequently
they were taken by surprise
and only a few of their regular
team took part in the game. However
that may be the visitors achieved
au overwhelming victory and were
very much elated thereby.
Notwithstanding the depressed
state of the tobacco market at least
one farmer in this vicinity has made
a fair profit this year on a small acreage.
Mr J Q McCullough sold
3500 lbs a few days ago at 9 eta. net,
and on his whole crop of 41
acres he has realized a profit of about
$50 an acre. Mr McCnllough is a
wide-awake, progressive and intelligent
young farmer. He believes in
tht intensive plan of farming and
practices his theory. In addition to
his tobacco crop ne has about 13
? ? ' ? a.x^ MiklaU V*a
acres ui cuiuju, uu nuiui uc
to make about ten bales. These
money crops with plenty of provisions
give him a fairly adequate return
commensurate with his investment of
capital and labor.
Mr John Y McGill is another
enterprising young farmer who plants
tobacco. This year he put in about
10 acres, and, 1 understand, whilp
the average price per pound for
which he sold his product was not so
high as Mr McCullough's, yet he
paid all expenses and made some
money. These lands around Benson
are admirably adapted to tobacco
raising and experts who have inspected
them say that they are unexcelled
by any to be found in the broad
zone of tobacco lands in the South.
There are also fine cotton lands in
this section aud albeit, as is the case
everywhere else, the crop is cut short
this year, yet I dare say the cottou
fields from Benson to Indiantown
and out to the Black River road will
compare very favorably with those of
any section of equal area in Williams
burg county. Ilauds are scarce here
and as a consequence the work of
hai vesting has been retarded. Most
of the negroes are "lieners" and are
pushed by the merchants who hold
papers over their crops.
The name "Benson" as applied
to this post-office and vicinitv is
worthy of some explanation. It was
the middle name of Maj Joseph Benson
Chandler who in his day was a man
of prominence and intlueuce in this
community where he spent most of
the years of a long', and honorable
life, so that when the post-office was
established, some fifteen years ago, it
was named in honor of him.
There are two general merchandise
stores here; one is operated by Messrs
James T Rollins and Vibert Graham
for F Rhem & Sons and the other is
owned and conducted by Messrs H
L Grayson & Bro. In the case of
the latter the old saying that "history
repeats itself" is exemplified. Nearly
a score of years ago there was a
mercantile firm w hich did a flourishing
business under the name "H & E
Grayson." Their ''stand" was a fewmiles
dow n the road from Benson
post-office. They went out of business
and one of the brothers moved
to Florida. After being away a
number of years he conies back to the
old home, finds his brother and erstwhile
partner again in the mercantile
busiuess and purchases an interest in
the store. May the new firm enjoy
a liberal patrouage and prosper.
Cedar Swamp Joint School, at the
Methodist church, and Cedar Grove
School, about two miles east of Bensou,
are both without teachers. Both
of these schools will be opened as
soon as teachers can be secured. The
demand for teachers seems to be
greater than the supply in this county,
and I may say, in passing, that
considering the meager salaries paid,
the fact is not surprising. This is
meant without prejudice to either of
the above named schools, for I am
speaking generally; with ore or two
exceptions the observation will apply
to the whole county.
There have been protracted meetings
recently at both the Methodist
and Baptist churches, conducted
at the former by the pastor, Rev
William Roof, and at the latter by
Rev H F Oliver, the pastor in charge,
assisted by Rev H C Haddock. Last
Sunday,(Oct 3) Rev William Roof
preached in the morning at the Meth
odist church. The church was comfortably
filled and the preacher delivered'an
earnest discourse which
was received attentively by his hearers.
The new church building here i
presents a neat appearance externally, J
being painted w hite; but the interior \
I
\
is unceiled and unfinished. With J
x little more work and a few more I1
dollars judiciously outlaid the build- *
ing could be made a handsome house ?

CAUSE OF LOCKJAW. J
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by
a bacillus or germ which rxiits
plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive
so long as exposed to the air,
but when canied beneath the 3kin
as iu the wounds caused by per- :
cnssion caps or by rusty nails, and i
when the air is excluded the germ is 1
roused to activity and produces the ;
most virulent poison known. These
germs may be destroyed and all \
danger of lockjaw avoided by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Halm ;
freely as soon as the injury is re ,
oeieen. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries
to heal without maturation
and in one third the time required
by the usual treatment. It is for
sale by Dr I) C Scott, Kingstree;
Lake City Drug Co., Lake City; Dr
W S Lyuch, Scranton.

The trouble with the "trustees i
of providence" is that they want
to claim all their'successes as their
own and blame their failures on !
providence.
BETTER THAN PILLS.
The question has been asked?In i
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to the
ordinary cathartic and liver pills?
Our answer is?They are easier and
more pleasant to take and their effect
is so gentle and so agreeable that,
one hardly realizes that it is pro- '
duced by a medicine. Then thev
not only move the bowels
but improve the appetite and i
aid the digestion. For sale at !
