EMERGENCY MEDICINE*. ; It is a great convenience to have at hand re:iable remedies for use in cases of accident and for slight injuries and ailments A goo 1 liniment and one that is fast becoming a favorite if not a household necessity is Chamberlain's Fain Balm. By applying it promptly to a cut, bruise or burn ii allays the pain and causes the injury to heal in about one-third the time usually required and as it is an antiseptic it prevents any dang-r of blood poisoning. When Pain Balm is kept at hand sprain may be treated before inflam mation sets in, which insures aquck, recovery. For sale by I)r I) C Scott Kings tree; Like City Drug Co.

The Hollo way Land Co.?Wood Distilling! Co.?Station Agent Resigns?Death of a Septuagenarian. Lake City, September 27:? ! Mr C I) Joyner came down from Cowards Sunday and spent the , day in town. Miss Mary Ruslrton, formerly i of this town but now of Fork,! Marion county, is spending-some time with her Lake City friends, who are glad to meet her again. Mr R E Morris, who has been right ill some days, is now rapid- j ly recovering. .Mr J f runups is lUKni" a | much needed rest with relatives in Sumter county. He will be away several weeks. His health has not been the best for some time and he is taking this vacation with the view of recuperating his powers. Mr L M Belk has enlarged his dwelling- house on Charles street and is now having- the whole nicely painted. These additions improve the house vpry much. It is rumored that he will soon cease renting it. Mr P BCallison, ex-representati ve, now dispensary inspector, was in town Friday checking up the books of Dispenser Rodgers. He found everything in good shape and the business being carried on to the entire satisfac tiou of the officials most interes| ted. Mr VV L McDaniel, one of the leading farmers and substantial ;citizens of the Johnsonville < neighborhood, was in town FriJday. He brought with him a j load of tobacco, which he sold j for from $7.40 to $32.00 per hundred pounds. The average for 'the entire load was nearly 13cts ! per pound. He says that his best tobacco is still at home, isome of which he thinks will bring about $1.00 a pound. Mr ; McDaniel thinks tobacco, on the I whole, is a better money crop i than cotton. During the five years that he has raised it, there j have been only two bad years, i 1001 and 1903?two out ot five. ! Cotton will not show up in an equal proportion. Mr B B Chandler came up from Home Friday and sold to, bacco at the Star. We saw a ' pile of his that brought 2b cents nonnd Tt was not scrap. I nor lugs, but for the quality the price was simply "out of sight." The leaf was large and of good j shape?but it had no body, was | "off smell" and had "eyes."-'' i Mr George Rooke returned to I Mt Pleasant the early part of . the week to make arrangements ; for opening the next term of the graded school at that place, of which he has been at the head a year and will hold the sambos- j ition again. The school will not I open until next week, but being a benedict now, lie must needs go in time to secure a dwelling house. The festive drummers are as thick here these days as the candidates were at Greelyville on August 16th, 1904. Speaking of the candidates and of Greelyville reminds us of an incident that happened at the meeting at that place. After "Bob" Gamble, as lie is called by his intimates, had spoken a few minutes, a citizen in the crowd called out, "That will do, Bob. Comedown.Greelyville will vote for you." And it seems that not only that splendid place voted for him, but a good manv others too; for "Bob" Gamble is to be the next coroner of the count}*. Between the two primaries Mr J E Ellerbe spent a day in Lake City. While here he said he believed he would be elected by about 2000 votes. His majority was 2005. He had it figured pretty fine, eh? I Gen F M Britton of Rome was here Friday. At an age *^en most who reach it have lostTneir snap and vim, he goes on with all the energy and hopefulness: of a man 20 years his junior. Mr J Q Harrell, formerly of j this place now of Troy, Ala., i was here Sunday and Monday. Mr Harrell is well pleased with his new home and is getting- on very nicely. We were glad to see him again. The fall term of the Lake < ity school commenced last Monday. Three teachers had been elected, but only two put in appearance, Mr R F Covingtorn and Miss Travis Stanley, and they'will conduct affairs as best they can until additional help be secured. We understand that another assistant has been found. Two teachers are not enough for this school. It would be wiser to curtail the length of the term than to cut short short the necessary number of teachers. Miss Annie Rooke's kindergarten has opened for the fall term with a full attendance. The "Nigger fifth Avenue" was the scene of some excite ment Saturday night, and all records for a half mile dash were smashed. Those most nearly interested seem to have been: Mott Hickson, Eugene Elsbery, Joe, Crider, Rose, Peter Martin and "Sturgeon Hotel Jim", and they made things interesting for Prirtce Pegues. It is supposed that these negroes, except the last named, were swapping their week's wages at "the pasteboards". At any rate, the usual row was forthcoming and the ever read)* pistol was brought into play. A stray bullet clipped a piece out_^;)f Prince's hand. He had no part in the row, but was some distance away. All the same,he got hit. Things were lively for a time. Five shots were fired. At the first one "Sturgeon Hotel T^4-Vio cirrnnl Txrifli J 1111 IV ?W1\ LllV. ?f ?W.? the bits in his teeth and sought more congenial climes. When the tirst shot went off he was on "Nigger Fifth Avenue", as the last one rang out he was waking up folks at the hotel, a half mile away. No use to look for his tracks except in the high places. The Holloway Land Co. of this town has purchased the tract of land of the estate of the late James A Burgess, which tract is in the Hebron neighborhood and contains some 2000 acres?possibly 2500. A Mr Cochran of Pennsylvania, who is looking up land for a colony of about fifty families of Pennsylvania Dutch, has been over this tract and secured an option on it. Should he take it, we ?:n n/v/vn lii ?a 4-Vioet. fhriftv WC Will 3UUU uat & iu\.ov people among- us. They are all farmers and are said to be first rate people. Mr N L Overstreet has tendered his resignation as agent for the Atlantic Coast Line railroad at this place. He has learned what the officials of the road seem to be ignorant of, to wit: that one man cannot do the work of three. We are gorryto lose Mr Overstreet, for he is a nice fellow and with half a showing would be an A 1 agent, but as a friend could not advise him to sacrifice himself for a corporation that seems utterly indifferent to the welfare of its station agents. The officials appear to think that the same force that did the work here five years ago can do it now when the volume of business has more than doubled. Such density may please the coupon-clipping directors, but it cannot deceive the suffering public. Misses Dora and Sallie Hinnant left Monday night for Greenwood to attend Williamston Female College. The plant of the Enterprise Wood Distilling and Chemical Co is about completed. It was fired up several days ago and found to work very satisfactorily. F'our cords of wood are necessary to charge the retorts and it requires about two days aud nights,to complete the distillation of a charge. Several charges have been run off and the charcoal, coal tar, spirits of turpentine an d creosote turned out ca me up to the specifications. Some idea of the amount of machinery and apparatuses may be gained from the fact that it required the Carolina Construction Co., the contractor, some three months to erect the plant. Mr D M Pearson, a retired lumber man, recently a resident of Walterboro, S. C., was killed by a fail from a trolley car last Saturday while in Savannah, Ga., with his fiancee, Miss Wes- i tendorf. Mr Pearson was a, brother of Mrs Emma J Epps of: ' Lake City, mother of Mrs J C McElveen, and of ex-sheriff B G Pearson of Sumter, Mr Sam Pearson of Mayesville, Mes-! dames Sarah Anderson and Sue' Brand of Sumter and Messrs D M and James Pearson, deceased.; His father, Rev Mr Pearson, died ! in the pulpit at Bethel Presbyterian church several years ajjo. The following- attorneys were here Tuesday engaged in three references: Messrs R J Kirk, Chas. W Stoll, and L W Gilland of Kingstree and F L Wilcox of Florence. Messrs Stoll and Gil ! land were referees and the cases 1 were heard in the office of W L i Bass, Esq. Mr Henry Hirschmann was in 1 town yesterdav from Charles! ton. " W L B WHAT IS LIFE?
