^|^0~~ KINGSTREE, SOUTH CAROLINA, APRIL 27,1905. ^J? ^p-17 Tira AT LAKE CITY. STMktRlES lEfilNNING TO MOVE LnftT-EXPIESS CTS f OOfi SERVICE?Ml ZEKE SAULS HURT. Lake City, April 24:?Miss Eleida Burns is visiting at Mrs Maria Sutcliffe's. Miss Burns from Charleston. Hon J C Lanham, of Summerton and South Carolina, spent Friday in town. Mv J E Burrows went to FlorSaturday night, taking * infb him a few quarts of straw - ? * I Carries 10 give some ucwgiucu Florentines an idea of what a real strawberry tastes like. Mr Zeke Sauls, coming up from Cades to this city Saturday morning on "40", jumped off the train before it came to a standstill here. He was thrown with considerable force, his bead striking so, violently that a gash several inches long was made in it. His escape from more serious injuiy was fortunate, as his head fell only an Inch or two from the wheels. Friday morning* the Express Co left about two hundred crates of berries here, claiming that it did not have room in its cars for these after loading* the rest of the shipment. Now, this may be true, but even if true, that is no excuse. The Ex\ press Co pretends to be doing this iuwlmg business and if it ABWt 4o the business,it ought of the way md give another concern the chance. Those berries lay here ten hours, most of the time in the sun, and, of course, went on the market at least ten hours late and brought less than if carried /through when they should have been. The owners will put in their claims for damages and wait for the settlement that may come in some months, mayHa vmps. mavbe never. Mr William U Kelly oi Lumber, S C, and Miss Launa Moore were united in marriage on the 16th instant at the residence of the bride's father, Mr WAJMoore,the ceremony being performed by Rev J B Traywick. On the 16th|instant at Mouzon, by Rev J B Traywick, Mr Geo W Ward and Miss Margaret E Frierson were married. At the residence of the bride's parents, Mr and Mrs R M Thomas, Mr Davis Knight and Miss Nina Thomas were mar\ ,ried. They will make their y home at Lake City. Strawberries are beginning to move.lively now. Pour car loads were here Saturday afternoon. Two went by refrigera tor and two in express cars. Three refrigerators went off Monday, saying nothing of express. Af least twenty cold storage car loads will be shipped this week and by next week the season will be in full blast. The Coast Line has put on a special train leaving here 8:45 at night. This train will handle the refrigerator cars and will bowl them through-on despatch time. If you want to witness an animated scene, go down on "Truck" street any afternoon between 5 and7:30 o'clock. Such a squirming, tugging, wriggling, screaming, roaring mass of cars, wagons, horses, mules men and strawberries canifot be seen elsewhere in this whole country. The town is full of fruit drumemers. They are hre from Montreal, Canada* Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore* etc. etc.?every city of importance in the North, and every one is doing his level best to get our berries. The Lake City berries have a fine reputati m in the Northern markets, where they are specially and separately quoted and bring fancy prices. Mr Evans* an Englisln man-of Canada, who was here l?st week, spoke in flattering terms of what he saw and tasted here. He will be back again. The prices obtained for ber ries last weekjwere from iC> 00 to $12.00. Those that brought the lower prices were frost bitten and very inferior. W L H. SEEN AT SALTERS. ? The Town Laid Out in Lots in Anticipation of a Boom. Salters Depot, April 24:? Mr P G Gourd in is here today laying- oil trie town into lots. 1 understand that within the next year there will be eight or ten new dwelling houses erect ed. Misses Laura and Carrie Salters will soon start to build a new residence on Railroad avenue near Capt C W Boswell's. The recent cold snap has cut off the truck cro^ in this section. Rev. C W Ray preached an eloquent and forcible sermon Sunday morning 011 the Resurrection; the church was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Capt Hardin of Cheraw spent several days here last week with Mr J A Ferrell. Messrs E T Hamer and J W Whitfield spent a couple of days ast week in Charleston. Mrs Alice Parker of Lanes spent several days last week with her father. Mr O H Whitfield. Miss Leila Whitfield spent Sunday with In r father also. Miss Whitfield is now staying in Florence. Mrs BSD Muckenfuss of Charleston is spending- some time with her sister, Mrs R Mosely. Mr John Sauls of Cades was noted on our streets today. Miss Anna May of Yorkville is visiting her sister, Mrs T E Salters. Miss Beulah Gallman, who who has been teaching the Union public school near Salters, returned to her home Saturday, her school being closed for this session. We learn with regret that our old friend, Capt W M Funk, was painfully hurt last Tuesday in the wreck on the ACL railroad. Miss Laura Salters,who is now staying at Blenheim in Marlboro county, is visiting her uncle, Judge T E Salters. Zed. Gourdios Gleanings. (Received tcv> late (or I tut weeks issue) Gourdins, April 18:?Farmers of this section were {jetting on nicely with their crops until given a backset by the cold weather. So me planters, I understand, were ready to chop cotton when the frost came, but instead they had to plough it up and plant it over again. All truck planted around here will have to be replanted, I think. Mrs M L Baggett had a pretty patch of beans, which were so badly injured that she had to plough part of them up and 1 plant cotton. The warm weather of March misled the farmers into planting their cot ton too early. Mr H P Brown went to Charleston one day last week. Mrs R H Pittman has gone to Camden on an extended visit to her old home. Dr S W Gamble went to Charleston one day last week. Mr R H Pittman made a riving trip to Charleston yesterdai'* Dr S W Gamble has decided to resume the practice of his profession, to the gratification of his many friends. , Rev Carl Barth, the Presbyterian State evangelist, was noted in town this week. Mr S Behrmann of Charleston was seen on our. streets yester day. Mr \V C Plowden has resigned as clerk in Mr Baggett's store and returned to his home in Manning. 0. G. D. \ MEETING OF COTTON GROWERS. SPEECHES WERE MADE BY MESSRS ! WESTON, SMITH AND ELLERBE. A representative crowd gathered in the court house Satur day of last week to hear addresses by Mr E D Smith of Magnolia, president of the State Cotton Growers' Association: Mr Frank H Weston of Columbia, secretary, and Hon J E Ellerbe of Marion county, representative from the Oth district. Mr Weston, the first speaker, introduced by Mr J Davis Carter. the county chairman, who presided over the meeting, referred to the necessity for the cotton growers to organize and commended the work of the convention at New Orleans. Spoke of movement to get cotton bags used for fertilizers and told what it would mean to the farmer. Had been all over the State and in every county had been greeted by enthusiastic crowds. Nature has given the South a monopoly of cotton and we should take advantage of it. Mr E D Smith said he proposed to talk sense, not sentiment. Laid stress upon the haphazard methods of farmers and said that the time had come to organize. The Southern farmer had it in his power to fix th? price of the staple. Mr Smith ridiculed the idea of foreign competition and showed that by intelligent co-operation the cotton growers of the South' could control the world's supply. Mr Ellerbe closed the meeting with a ringing appeal to the farmers to stand together in this movement. Recommended the building of warehouses to store the surplus crop, but held unless the acreage was reduced warehouses would prove a positive curse instead of a blessing. Read letter from W P Brown of New Orleans saying that unless acreage was reduced no pool would be formed to "bull" the price of cotton. Reduction should apply to all. All the speakers were in good form and full of enthusiasm, and each in turn received liberal applause. I til Still Mil. [ |l _= [Conducted by the Pupils of the Tenth Graded The school enjoyed a holiday on Good Friday. Several of the "boarders'' took advantage of this opportunity to visit their homes. Most of them, however, have returned and resumed their work. The "egg- hunt"given by Miss Tribble, the 5th and 6th grade teacher, was a success notwithstanding the shower of rain. The little folks report a pleasant afternoon. We weie glad to have at chapel exercises a few mornings ago, Rev C W Ray of Salters.

For nearly two hoyrs Ralph Bingham entertained an audience of over a hundred at the school auditorium last Tuesday evening1. Mirth, melody and music were in the atmosphere and not a single chestnut fluttered in the breeze. Mr Bingham, who is sent out by the Alkahest lyceum, was brought here by a local "syndicate" as ft speculation, and \ye understand that the profits amounted to over $50. This was Mr Bingham's second appearance in Kingstree and each time he "made good" in every sense of the word. If 1> * bureaus would always send c *** attractions there woulu such thing as the unforli evnerienreof the late "Kin tree Lyceum," which regularly went "in the hole" financially on each entertainment given during the season.
