business.
Mr H K Gilbert, the newly elected

acomroodations the)e are at this place
and it will be good news to every
body who travels through Florence
by rail to know of some improvement
contemplated.
Mr P C Hatchell, a well known
mechanic who was iti the employ of
the Coast Line as pump inspector,
died iu the infirmary here late Sun

citizen of this city, who has conducted"
a bakery on Dargau street
here for several years, was seriously
cut one day last week. Mr Buchheit
did it himself and how he came
to do so he was unable to explain
when taken to the city hall by the
police. He seemed to have gotten
enraged over some trouble which he
had some time ago and as the result
drove his fist through a glass
door and also through a glass window
inflicting a severe wound.

I AFFAIRS REPORTED [
| FROM LAKE CITY.;
TWO LADS NARROWLV ESCAPE DEATHREVIEW
OF CROP CONDITIONS-LOCAL
AND PERSONAL ITEMS.
i Lake Cit\. Mav 21:?Mr Hen
J
ry L Covington of Pensacola,
Fla.. was here this week visiting
relatives and friends.
| i
Monday evening a horrible
tragedy was averted by the
veriest accident. Beverly
Jones, the young son of Mr B
Wallace Jones, and Edgar Haselden.
both boys of twelve,
years, attempted to cross the
railroad track in front of the
fast muii which passes here at
7:25 and does not stop. Beverly
was driving the wagon pulled
by two mules and loaded
with some three sacks of corn.
and two bales of hay, and Edgar
was in the"tail"of the wagon
into which he had just clamber- j
ed, and the crossing is the one
at the north end of the plat-;
form. The engine struck the
wagon at the rear wheels. Bev- j
erly was tossed high into the;
air and landed somewhere on1
the mules, and escaped with on- j
ly a few scratches and a bad :
scare. Edgar was hurled between
the main track and the
station siding. When picked
up he appeared lifeless, but un-1
der restoratives he came around J
and an examination by ph^'si- !
cians disclosed no serious
wounds and unless internally
injured he will be all right in afew
days. The wagon was wreck-;
ed but the mules were not hurt.
\ It seems that no blame can be
attached to the railroad people, i
Mr J Frank Eppes, who was j
principal of our school the ses-;
sion of 1905?06, and who made
a good principal too, is in town
spending some days with old
friends. He closed his school
nt Hampr. S C.. last Friday and
will go from here to his home
at Due West where he will spend
the summer resti n'g and reading
law preparatory to entering
the Law School of the So. Car. j
University next fall. Mr Eppes
is very popular here, where he1
is admired as a tirst rate fellow. [
Mr 0 E Wheeler of Florence, i (
was noted in town Saturday. 11
l While here he sold his lots on!
Acline avenue East and Lake;
Street to Dr M D Nesmith, and ,
a tract of land of 111 acres at i
the Southwest corner of the !
cross roads, just west of Cades,!
to Mr W E Nesmith.
Mr Jno M Eaddy went to Sum
ter Friday to look after a busi
ness matter. On his way home
he stopped at Timmonsville to
see his brother, Dr Albert Ead- j
dv, who is just recovering from |
an attack of pnuemonia and is ;
getting ready for a trip for the
benefit of his health.
An election was held Thursday
to choose a successor to I
Warden H L Richey, resigned.
The result was the election of j
Mr P D Cockfield to fill the un- j
ovnirod t#rm
I
Mr.I L Stuckey spent Friday
night and a part of Saturday
in Florence on business.
Mr and Mrs J T Rollins, of j
Ards X Roads, were in town j
Sunday with relatives.
Young Mr Kelley, son of Dr J
Kelley, of the Bethel neighbor ;
hood of Florence county, came
to our town Saturday last. Mr
Kelley intends to enter the
Charleston Medical College in
October.
i
A general survey of the crops
in this section and north and
wesc of here personally made,
and information from intelligent
and reliable sources, bring
us to say that, all the circumstances
being taken into account,
the prospects are very
gratifying. Of course nearly
all crops are late, but ahead of
us are many, many days of sunshine
and moisture ere winter
shall close down on us again.
Occasionally we need such
springs as the one now closing
to jerk us up and remind us
that we have been, in our eagerness,
trying to twist the seasons
to suit our notions. To
have our attention brought to
realize that we can't force nature
does us good and in more
respects then one. Cotton is
generally of good stand, clean,
healthy and growing well, j
Corn is thriving and getting in
t ' o nnrro rri
iui a up?i?iu
spring. Tobacco transplanted
rooted quickly and has moved
off evenly and with good body
and that appearance that indicates
thrift and splendid devel 1
opment symmetrically and with
out the blemishes and defects j
that cut the last few crops
short and turned oat products i
inferior quality. In fact, the j
present outlook is that the to-'
bacco of this year will be a bet-!
ter crqp than has been grown j
in five or six years. In connection
with the crop we make the I
assertion that more real work !
has been done in this section I
during the four weeks just gone j
by that has been done in the j
same length of time in several |
years. It is rare indeed to see
our people with such "a hustle''
on and it is refreshing and encouraging
too. W L B
The Dispensary Situation.'
Attorney General Lyon has ruled
that under the Carey-Cothran law
Williamsburg county mavj hold an
election this year on the liquor
question. As a petition containing
nearly 900 names has been presented
to the supervisor^ the election
will probably be called in the near
future, provided enough r.ames on
the said petition are qualifie 1 voters
to comprise one-fouith of the registered
voters of the county. Supervisor
Singletary will investigate the
matter iu a short while and if the
petitioners are entitled to it the election
will undoubtedly be ordered.
