A CANNING FACTORY NOW BEING

No Booze for Lake City and Scranton
Yet Awhile- Good Work of
Town Council.
Lake City, March 1:?Mr W
S Moore, who had been on a
visit to his old home, South
Boston, Va., returned last Sunday.
Mr Fuller Rickenbaker, father
of Mr J F Rickenbaker, and
family have moved into our
town. The}' have secured the
residence on the corner of
Charles and Church streets. We
welcome them among- us and
hope they will find life so pleasant
here that they will never
care to go away.
Col 0 T Hall has turned over
the reins of domestic government
to a 3'oung man who arrived
a few days ago.
Mr W A Ward has sold a lot
on Dansing street to Mr W J
A
Singletarv, who will build a
nice dwelling house on it right
away.
Mr R F Joyner has sold the
"Bristow place" to Mr H V
Epps, and has purchased from
Mr J L C Moore a lot on which
he will build a residence.
The council is having some
good work done on the streets.
The improvements on Main
street east of the Coast Line are
especially marked. The side
walk on the south side has been
- * "? > i* _ a x_
straigntenea ana connnuea to
the corner of Church street and
the drain along- this walk is bei^g
carried to the canal.
The friends of Hon J C Lanham
in this county, and all who
know him are his friends, will
be glad" to learn that he is getting
on nicely at the Columbia
Hospital where he went for
treatment at the close of the Assembly.
He is improving right
along and will be himself again
soon. Mr Lanham is a noble
man, one of God's gentlemen,
and Clarendon county will do
herself proud in sending him
back to the Capitol.
And still the dispensary fight
goes on. Last Saturday Messrs
Shipp and Bass, for the plaintiff,
and Mr W F Clayton, for the
- * defendants, appeared before
Chief Justice Pope at Newberry
on the rule to show cause why
the stay order granted on the
17th of February should not continue
until the final decision on
the case. The defendant.^ failed
to show cause and Justice
Pope continued the stay until
flules.

Citj* and Scranton will have no

is decided and not then if the
plaintiff wins on judgment.
The frame of Mr J W Floyd's
house is going up. Mr Floyd is
a single man, but we have not
| heard that he is building to rent.
A canning factory is now
being worked up. Not a onej
horse affair but a,factory to sup
ply the wholesale trade. Quite
I a good deal of stock is already
j engaged and the outlook is that
' the enterprise will be launched
in a few days. This is the very
right move in exactly the ri ght
direction. Such a concern will

AND DOES IT.

Graham's Vigilance.
As is usual in such a case il
s difficult to ascertain the facts
ittending the killing- of Thurs
:on McGee by the negro, Karc
Williams, in Lake City on Wedlesday
of last week. It is genirally
agreed that the trouble
rrew out of a hprse trade. The
legro attempted to take a mule
rom the lot and McGee forbade
lim to do so. Some say that
HcGee struck the negro and oth:rs
maintain that the shooting
vas entirely unprovoked.
When the news reached here
Sheriff Graham at once set out
or Lake City, arriving there a
ittle after 7 p. m. on the pasenger
train. The prisoner had
>een removed from the g\iard
louse and was secreted in a barn
n the rear of Maj S M Askns'
house.
When the Sheriff arrived Maj
^skinc rnnducted him to the
)risoner and a plan was
volved to evada the party of
ynchers which the authorities
lad reason to expect would enlea
vor to take to take the pris?ner
and try him before Judge
^ynch. The sheriff took the
Legro down the road and boardd
the Coast Line at a point beween
Lake City and Kingstree,
rhere he had arranged to meet
he train, which had been
earched carefully at Lake City.
Sheriff Graham reached Kingsree
without further adventure
.nd lodged his prisoner in the
ail.
Thursday the sheriff noted in
Cingstree the presence of of a
lumber of people from Lake
?ity and he became suspicious
vhen he saw a number of vehi
:les behind one of the stores,
thereupon he decided to remove
he prisoner, and not five minites
had elapsed after he had
fot out of the jail before the
>arty of would be lynchers was
here demanding' the keys.
Thursday night was spent in
Slack river swamp at the "horse
javeyard".
Sheriff Graham is a very quiet
nan, but he is just the kind of
lan to stop at nothing to proect
a prisoner in his keeping,
^he prisoner was taken to Colmhin
PVid.nv vin Charleston
iver the Southern, and turned
iver to the penitentiary author ties
for safe keeping- until he is
>rought back here for trial probbljr
at the next terra of court.
Sheriff Graham has received a
etter of congratulation from
rom Governor Heyward upon
he cpurse he pursued in guardng
his prisoner:
"I wanted to have the pleasire
of meeting you personally,
lot only because it would have
et me make your acquaintance,
rat I wanted to thank you for
he manner in which you pro
ected the State's interest in
guarding- your prisoner. You
Lave added to the dignity of the
state in the manner you have
ipheld the law, and I congratilate
you heartily, and assure
rou of my gratification at the
mtcome of the action you took
n defending the prisoner in
:our hands.
Hoping that you will be sure
o call when next you are in our
3ity, believe me, with regards,
Yours very truly,
D. C. Heyward,
Governor".
