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

CHRONICLE OF A WEEK'S HAPPENINGS
IN A BUSY COMMUNITY.
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

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

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 !

church several years ajjo.
The following- attorneys were
here Tuesday engaged in three
references: Messrs R J Kirk,

of Kingstree and F L Wilcox of
