NEGRO ENTERS ROOM
WHERE LADIES SLEPT.
SUSPICION RESTS UPON I NEGRO
TRESTLE HAND WHO HAS TAKEN
* TO THE SWAMP. '
Kingstree, June 25:?Yester*
day morning about 4 o'clock a
negro man entered the bed room
of Mrs W P Kennedy and her
two daughters and took hold
of the foot of one of the young
ladies, who made an outcry,
causing the negro to fly. He
was not recognized and there
was no clue to the miscreant,
but suspicion was directed to
the trestle gang at work upon
Black river oridge.and when the
valise of Antrum Cannon was
searched a tie bearing the name
of .lames Vause, who was sleep
ing in the Kennedy house, and a
handkerchief marktd witn the
name of one of the daughters,
were found. When two or three
men approached Canuon for the
7 purpose of arresting him he
precipitately tied into Black
river swamp, where he is still
( supposed to be hiding. A search
incr party of some fifty men fail
ed to ttnd any trace of bun.
The negro is a tali black mau
and his home is in Charleston
The ladies are highly respected,
and the event has caused a good
deal of excitement, and il the
fellow is caugot it may go hard
with him unless he is very
quickly gotten behind the bars.
The search is still being kept up,
and the man will probably be
caught in a few days.

Explanation.
With much regi*et and mortification
we announce to our
readers that there wi'l be no
issue of The Record thus week
and possibly none next week. At
any rate not until we can get a
new gasoline engine. We had<
set about seventeen columns of
type, and the forms "made up"
ready to go to press when the
engine we are using broke in
several places so seriously that it
cannot be repaired.
We have wired * for another
engine and just as soon as it
comes we will o? course resume
* ft A *1 il 1_
puDiicanon. until wen we asm.
our readers' kind forbearance
and indulgence.
What this means to us in the
way of expense , and annoyance
it is difficult to estimate?at the
lowest calculation the accident
will cost us several hundred dollars.
Coming jpst at this dull
season, when it is nip and tuck
to meet expense^ any way, it is
very discouragipg and strains
our resources to the utmost But
if our loyal friends will stand by
us as they have done heretofore
we will meet disaster with renewed
hope and pourage, feeling
assured of final victory.
It will be recaped that this is
the second engine we have bought
within nine rpofnths?both from
the same agent iind both are out
of commission. \
This time we afee getting one
from another concern, that we
1 -
know will make good its guarjantee.
Early Morning Wedding.
Early Thursday morning, the
27th inst., Miss Alraa Kelley and
Mr F Will Fairey ware united in

most charming and popular
young ladies. The groom is the

a resident of Kingstree for several
years during which time he
has gained mar?y friends.
Shortly after the ceremony

LAKE CITY RANKS HIGH
IS A TOBACCO MARKET.
THE FIRST LOAD BROUGHT IN AND
WAREHOUSEMEN AND FARMERS ARE
SMILING?FINE CROP OUTLOOK.
Lake City, June 24:?Who's
aow grumbling that the weather
is not hot enough to make the
cotton grow?
Those directly interested in
the tobacco market are ready
for the season now opening.
The three warehouses are under
the same management as last
year, to wit: the King, Mr J D
King; Planters, Messrs Motley,
and the Star, Col. O T Hall.
These gentlemen have had the
necessary cleanning up, whitewashing,
painting, etc., done;
their respective corps of book
keepers, auctioneers, and help
generally are in; a number of
buyers have arrived and things
are practically in shape to
handle the crop. The outlook
at this date is that the best
crop ever raised in this section
is the one now ripening. The
fields we have seen are certainly
promising and reports have it
that throughout this entire ter
ritory the croj? are line Jn
making this statement of course
those fields which have been
injured by hail are not included.
In the marketing I^akr City will
play a part and an important
one too, even more important
than ever. Some other markets
have gone down and several
have died; but (>ake City holds
its own. From the beginning
the sharp practices, shady deals
and questionable transactions
practiced elsewhere, have been
studiously frowned upon here,
and by frank treatment, square
dealing and honest transactions
i? ..* ?u?;u

itself up. For those qualities
that give tone and confidence
us market in the State stands
higher than this one. and, not
withstanding many adverse
circumstances, even in the
quantity handled this town\
ranks very near the top. probably
second?at any rate no
lower than third. This is not
"bragging," but a statement whose
foundation is solid. However
even "bragging" is permissible
where there is a record
to support it while "wind
jamming" with nothing but
shallow conceit back of it. is
disgusting. Lake Lity as a
leading tobacco market is an
established fact and you can't
get around it
To Mr Richard Harheld be
Jongs the honor of having "open
ed the ball." He brought in a
load of tobacco on Hie *2lst in
? i % i
sta.it. It was knocked aowu to
Mr L A Winston, who represents
the Continental Tobacco ?'om
pany. The second load was Mr
J J Daniel's who brought it in
on the 22nd. "13" stands so
near the head of the column
that he is often the "presiding
officer," while "D" occupies the
fourth place in the ranks of
"twenty six."
