So many of our people are < away that several residences i seem almost deserted. Messrs < John A Green, S W Gowdy, B i M Rodgers, J C McElveen and < Mrs J M Sturgeon and children went away last week?all to i the mountains in and near Hen. dersonville. Some others will probably leave this week. v Miss Annie Sutcliffe has gone ' ^to Newport News, Va. I Mr and Mrs T J Rollins and j Modena Lee, of the John- < "^Bfeonville country, are at Glenn 1 springs?that is, they left here for that place, but if accommo- 1 dations are as poor as we hear, ] they have moved by this time. j It seems that if you don't go ^^~*way during the summer your are "not in it", you're a back number. Therefore, we have , determined that we will be in the swim and we are going to . do the thing dp right too. No j cheap rates and crowded resorts for us. Exclusive swelldom is ! our aim?nothing less. We ' haven't yet decided whether we will go to Effingham or Hud- , son's mill. Dr Williams was called to < Oottageville Saturday by the < illness of his sister, Mrs Acker- < man. AC Hinds, Esq., was noted here from Kingstree one day last week. < H G Askins, Esq., was noted ' here from Kingstree one day ( last week. t Just as sure as the sun rises i it will set; and just so sure ad- ; versity will succeed prosperity. ; In these times of plenty we 1 would do well to remember that i the pendulum will swing the 1 other way again. i Mr and Mrs II H Singletary and daughter, Miss Lutie, are at home from the "Land of the i Sky." | b Misses Lucy and Julia Quat- J ' tlebaum of Columbia are visit- ] ing their cousin, Mrs J B Du- i ^JRkut.- i Mrs Horace Carter, whose I home is in Darlington, is spend- j ing some time with her mother, Mrs Delia D Carter. .

The rain tell io torrents and as the canal across the railroad is not cleaned out, the inundation, increased by daily showers, has caused quite a number of pools, ponds and lakes to be formed in various parts ot the town. Several trees were struck, we learn, but no serious damage was done in the immediate vicinity of Kingtree. The thunder storm had quite an extended area and we hear that its effects were most disasterous. The most serious case is that of Peter Pendergrass, a colored man who lives about four miles east of Kingstree. When the storm came up Peter's two boys, Henry and Wil Liam, aged respectively nine ?nd four yeare, were in front of the fire-place, the dwelling being a four-room frame bailding with a clay chimney, when the chimney was struck. One child, Henry, the elder,was killed outright, while the younger, William was so badly shocked that be died the i^ext day. The other members of the-family were in the room some distance from the chimney, and Jseveral of them were severely shocked, rhe boy Henry was instantly killed and his brother, William, iied one day later, the funerals if the two brothers being but ine day apart. Daigbters of the Confederacy. A chapter of the Daughters if the Confederacy has been organized at Kingstree and it is iesired that as many ladies as possible will join. The admission fee is $1.00. The next meeting ot the chapter will be held it the home of Mrs H 0 Britton, it 4 30 p. m., on Friday, September 13.

Leo, August 20:?The protracted meeting held at Prospect was a grand success. We hope much and lasting good has been accomplished. ' ' * r, a, _ e ai negaraiess or tae rain on Thursday we saw several young folks on our streets. Bain does not seem to count. Miss Nina Porter of Jay has been spending a few days with Miss Lena Duke of Leo, We hope this visit will soon be repeated. Quite a number of our young folks attended services at Liberty Baptist church Friday evening. Miss Feasy Cox of Venters, who is now at Leo will return to her home in a few days. Mrs Maggie Duke has returned to her home in Charleston, after a visit here. We are informed that a cer- \ tain young man in our community has engaged a house for another year. We realize the common sense in a provision of this kind, but can it be the man intends living alone? We think not, from the way he was driving down towards Prospect Monday morning. Mr Wallace Brown, who paid i a flying visit to Lake Oitf Tuesday, returned safe and sound on Wednesday. On Tuesday Mrs Galloway, Mrs R ? Duke, Miss Lena Duke, Miss Feasy Cox, Mr Sarlie Duke and Messrs Leroy and Jack Galloway were the guests of Mrs Arthur Brown. Mr and Mrs J D Duke were also there in the evening.
