Edgefield county has again come
o unpleasant notoriety. A negro

the chaingang died twenty-four
ire after commencing to serve his
fence. There being some susion
of foul play the matter was
?orted to the solicitor who interwed
the county snpervisor. The
Kb- latter, it is said, investigated the
?' matter and stated that the negro
f died from natural causes. The body
C?{ was exhumed and found to be terribly
beaten, one eye gone, and a hole
in the back of the head. This may
bathe Edgefield idea of ''natural
fik anuses."

j" Those who have kept up with the
Hoyt Hayes case in Oconee county are
[ awaiting with interest the action of
jgp V Governor Hey ward with respect to the
| 5, petitions for and against the pardon
i ?f the alleged wife murderer. Haye6
was to have been hanged October 14,
Bp but the gcvernor being unwell has
I ' " not had time' to properly consider
pi' the case.. Meantime he has granted
i?' * it renrieve of two weeks to Haves.
& ?-'
/ . We understand that two petitions
have been, presented, one containing
over a thousand signatures asking
that Hayes be pardoued, and the
other numbering about five hundred
r names asks that the law be allowed
r to take rs course. Without knowing
thy people who subscribed to
Ev'"' *
* them it is impossible to estimate the
r relative weight of these petitions. As
p' a rule, however, people are much
j more ready to ask for a man's pardon
thau to petition for him to be hanged.

of Local and Personal Interest.
j Lake City, October 10:?Mr \Y '
? L Steele came down from Rockinhitin,
N. C., a few days ago to look
after the interests of his com pain
here.
Rev T E Moms of Marion will j
J preach at the Methodist church next j
Sunday morning. \
Mr S L Courtney has purchased;
the lot next to Mr J 11 Black\\ ell's j
| residence. i
The Sturgeon Hotel is being rejpainted,
which will add much to the;
I ;
j appearance. <
Mr Flovd Rodders is now in *
? i
: Charleston with the street railway '
as coudactor. Ilis mother, Mrs KC 1
\
Rudgors, went down hist week and is
; with him.
Mr 11 E Morris, who was ill quite
a while, lias recovered and is again
at his post in the bank.
Mr H Nachman went to Charleston
Sunday night for a day.
LeRoy Lee, Esq., ran up from
Kingstree ah hour or two Thursday.
Mis3 Helen Moore of South Boston,
Ya., came down a few days ago
and is visiting at her brother's Mr W
S Moore'8.
Miss Maria Croft went away Friday
night to Alcot, S. C., to teach at .
that place.
We are informed by Mr Olin John
son that Dr L B Johuson has decided
to return to Lake City and
that he will be bock within about
thirty days. The climate has not
agreed with the doctor's family,
which is exactly the opposite of what
was expected. Hence his d etermination
to return. This is just the
way. He who leaves South Carolina
in search of a better country is sure
t) meet disappointment. We shall
be glad to have Dr Johnson with us
again.
Mr N L Overstreet, who recently
gave up his position as agent of the
Coast Line here, has gone to Atlanta
where he will take a course in dentistry.
He is succeeded by Mr Atkinson.
Mr 0 C Woodward, route agent of
the Southern Express Co., was in
town Saturday on business.
Mr F E Johnson of Dock has
made a success of tobacco this year.
One day last week he sold a load of I
900 pounds at the Planters Warehouse
at an average of very nearly 23
cts. per pound. How is that? Mr
Johnson has jealized from his three
acres ot tobaao tfye sum of $502.00
net. He used 600 pounds of low
grade fertilizer to the acre. Comment
seems entirely unnecessary.
Such figures speak volumes for Mr
Johnson as a farmer, for tobacco as
a crop and for Williamsburg, as the
place to live and grow rich farming.
Miss Pansy Jones is teaching in (
Bej keley county.
Mond ay afternoon late Dr Wil- ,
liams' horse, which was left in the
yard hitched to the busgy but not
fastened, took a notion from some
unknown cause to go off on a little
jaunt He went away on the run
and wis found about two hours afterwards
near Mr J S Lynch's place,
atxmt four miles from town.
The brick work of the new bank '
[buildiug is completed, all except a M
part of the vault. Everything will
probably be finished within thirty
days.
Messrs Chas A Smith and W P
Henry of Timm~nsville,1 were in ,
town Monday last looking after the J
affairs of the Smith-Williams Mer- (
car.tile Co, which is being organized.
Mrs P E Severance, who had been j
to Florence to visit her daughter,Mrs |
Erwin Brothers, retur led home Monday
night.
i Our postmaster has put in several t
real nice lock boxes. These were f
welcomed by our business houses.
Sunday morning about 6 o'clock t
Notary II G Askius united a difckv *
couple in the bonds of matrimony. 1
Quite a fashionable hour for a mar- '
riage! We hope high society will j
make a note of this and act accord- c
ingly. t
Miss Ella Ford, of Sumter, spent r
Tuesday in town. While here she|(
'called upon her friend, Miss Travis t
