A correspondent at Scranton writ- j ing to the Kingstree Countv Record 1 says that "Hell has broken loose" in ! that bnrg since the dispensary opened : its doors. He then proceeds to knock the institution for all he is worth. All of this is very commonplace but the peculiar feature of the letter is that the correspondent signs himself XXX.

' At Springfield, Ohio, on la6t Mon- J cay l.ight an infuriated mob ! twenty five hundred 6trong, with a railroad iron for a battering-ram and | cold chisels to cut through steel j' IJ cells, forced entrance into the jail, and took therefrom a negro prisoner, I' whom they shot to death with their; 1 revolvers and then struDg the body vto a telegraph pole and riddled it 5 with bullets. Aud this happened |1 in Ohio, the native State of William McKinley end Marcus A Hanna!

And yet the Yankees claim to be the best friends of the negro. ( __ _ |. Lake City's Enterprise. W L Bass in his Lake City corres- j, pondenceof the County Record says ; that a canning factory is being worked up iu that town. This is ; good news. Lake City is a lire town and one of the finest truck s*>ctions v- ! in the country surrounds it, thousands of dollars worth of good material for canning goes for a song there , every year and this enterprise, if properly couducted, as we doubt not 0 Ml *11 I tt will be, will prove a great money I saver for the community. The-South j 1 . ; i has passed the experimental stage in j the canning business, goods manu- j factured in this section are in demand now, whereas a few years ago | it was hard to find a market for j them. During these years of ex-!< perimental work and preparing the j markets "of the world for southern . t canned stuff, a number of our local J enterprises went by the board. There j is not much danger of further fail-; ures along this line and our friends in Lake City will set an example for;, the rest of the truck raising country i ' to follow. It is 110 use to say we;, cannot do this thing or that thing | if ' we aooiu it ligai.?i Times. t ^ ' ? < < ' A Slander Nailed. Seme time ago Congressman Scott )f Kansas asserted on the floor of L'nited Slates Hon?e of Keprcsentatives that vriiile Grover Cleveland ttus Pu-sident a negro named C II J Taylor had di-.rd with him at the White Huntf. The purpose* of this statement was to olt-sK the r.oror.ous fact tiiat looker Washington was entertained by Roosevelt. A few drys after Scott's charge a letter was read in the House by a member who had written to Cleveland asking him about the matter. In his reply Mr Cleveland averred that '*the statement that the colored man, C II J % Taylor, took lunch with him at the White House was a deliberate fabrication, out of the- whole cloth,'' which is a parliamentary way of characterizing it as ir-malieions iie. There are a great, many things about Mr Cleveland that we do not admire, but for the sake of the Deni* nenitSe narfv. bv which he was elected chief executive, we are truly glad that he was in a j?osition to deny in no-qjhbiguous way this slanderous charge. When th?' Ex-President's letter was read Mr Scott s.iid that lie had read the statement in the newspapers and had never seen it denied. When pressed for the name of the paper <>r papers Mr Scott said that "he had forgotten". The Hampton Monument, Nearly $7,000 of the $10,000 to be raised by the people of South Car)lina for the Hampton monument has been subscribed, leaving about >3,000 yet required t<- be raised. A fesv days ago a statement was printed in the daily papers showing how much had been subscribed by the various counties. This" state inent shows that the whole amount that has been raised has been subscribed by twenty-eight counties, the inn? ruwinrr in QIHA111^ f 3U^'?L"i l^HlUllO ?fli 1U UUivuu v from $2 from Jldgefield to $1356 from Richland. But the thing that most concerns us is that Williamsburg docs not appear in the list of counties that have paid anything all. This is a most mortifying and humiliating state of things and it should be remedied as soon as possible. Iu the dark and stormy days [)f Reconstruction Wade Hamp on <va6 the Moses who led us out of the wilderness of "carpet-b.ig" rule, and Williamsburg has much to be grateful for to his memory for his influence and guidance during that unspeakably gloomy period. And yet according to the showing made not one man, woman or child has contributed one cent to give visible rccog nition to the love and honor that, we feel sure, is felt for him in every heart. Very little good it will do him, it is true, this tardy tribute to his greatness; but it will at least show the world that we do not allow our departed heroes to rest in oblivion, their memory effaced in the dull dead dust of forgetfulness. Friends, let us do something to put our county in a better light. Auv contribution, however small, will be acceptable. We will take it upon ourself to furward any subscriptions left at this office to the monument committee, tlong with the name of the donor. We hope that this appeal will not jo entirely unheeded.
