WORK OF CRUSHING SEED COMMENCED
YESTERDAY.
All the Machlnry Has Been Placed
and is Working
Smoothly.
On Wednesday, the 18th day of
November, the Williamsburg Oil
Mill tired up its boilers and crushed
ita first seed. The plant is lighted
up by electricity, the power beirg
generated by a dynamo with a capacity
of thirty incandescent lights.
The mill has been under construction
several months? much
longer than was anticipated?but
there have been delays veiatious and
unavoidable, which can in no wise
be attributed to the fault of the
management, and now that the machinery
is all in place and in good
running ordei, it is hoped and believed
that everything will work
smoothly and without friction.
The conditions at present are not
so conducive to the successful opperation
oil mills as they have been
in former years. The price of manufactured
products is low, which of
course necessitates a correspondingly
low market price for seed and
the consequent scarcity of the raw
material. For this reason many ot
the oil mills are not run on full
time and the net earnings are reduced
accordingly.
Every industrial enterprise has its
good and its bad years, whiq^ are
mfluenoed by a variety of circumstances,
just like farming or any
other kind of business. The cotton
mills are also running on half time
and many of them are fortunate to
be able to do that.
The Williamsburg Oil Mill is in
the hands of capable and experienced
managers aud in the long run we
see no reason why it should not be
a paying investment for the stockholders.
It is our first industrial
enterprise of any magnitude and
arairimfl clmnlrl tjikn a nride in it
and try to make it a success.

Monday afternoon Col E Miller
Boykin, president of the Merchants'
and Farmers' Bank of Camden, went
out with shotgun in hand to shoot a
hawk. A few minutes after leaving
his home the gun was heard to fire
and some time later it was discovered
that Col Boykin had killed himSrlf.
It is supposed that as he started
to olimb a fence the gun was accidentally
discharged with fatal effect.
He.fell over backward, the load of
shot having taken effect in his chest,
and was fonnd leaning on the opposite
side of the feuce. Col Boykin
is well known throughout the State
both in ? business aud a political
way. He was a member of the Legislature
in 1880 and a delegate to the
National convention that nominated
Grover Cleveland in 1884. He was
president of the DeKalb cotton factory
and several other local enterprises.
The tragic death of Col B jykin
was closely followed by the suicide
of Mr E C Zemp, the cashier of the
bank, who was found dead in his barn
on the night of the same day with a
pistol bullet in his mouth. Mr
Zemp was held in high esteem and
his death is a great shock to his family
and friends. If there is a shortage
in the funds of the bank it is not
yet known. A meeting of the directors
was held the morning after
the lamentable occurence.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Negro Stableman Kicked to Death
by a Horse.
Monday about noon at Thomas
& Bradnam's stables a young horse
had just been taken from the "break"
cart and was being unharnessed by
the driver. Something was said
about the horse's kicking when Bob
Keels, another negro employe,
stepped up to the animal and slapped
it on the back, remarking that the
horse had been badly managed and
would not kick if handled properly.
Almost as he uttered the words the
the horse let fly both heels and one
hoof struck the negro on the chin,
fracturing the jaw bone in two
places. The unfortunate man was
taken to his home and Drs Gamble
and Epps called in, but it was soon
evident that his injuries were fatal
and at four o'clock he died from
concussion of the brain, superinduced
by the shock.
Keels was a faithful servant and
was well liked by his employers,
who saw that everything possible
was done for his relief.
