DTNAMTE!
Vacant Tenant Hoase on Railroad
Avenue Wrecked.
For the first time probably
since the settlement of the
Scotch-Presbyterian colony that
gave birth to the town of Kings tree
and the county of Williamsburg,
dynamite, the weapon of
the anarchist, has been used to
destrov property. Tuesday
morning-, about 4 o'clock, the J
people of Kingstree were start- 1
led by an explosion that sounded }
like the firing of a battery of ar- 1
tillery. Daylight revealed the '
fact that a tenant house on '
Railroad avenue, owned by Dr 1
DC Scott, had been wrecked. 1
The bouse was vacant at the 1
1
time,so nobody was killed or
injured, which surely would '
have been the result had it been 1
occupied. '
The theory as to motive is (
that some person or persons re- 1
garded the former inmates of
the house as "undesirable citi- ?
zens'' and this demonstration
was intended as a warning to 1
future occupants. Dr Scott, the c
owner, says that no complaint
has ever been made to him about
the tenants of the house and he
feels justly incensed at the wan- f
ton destruction of his property. I

PAWLET'S ISLAND BREEZES.

Editor County Record:?The
iea occurred to me a few days ago
o steal away from work and visit
iuce more, after several years, the
ileasaut beach of Pawley's island.
Ve arrived here after one day's
rive through the country to Georgeown,
where we spent* the night.
?he next morning the steamer F G
lorrougbs, Capt. Dusenbury, landd
us safely at True Blue, where a ?
tack was in waiting for a spin of
our miles to the island. Few peotie
visit ibis island nowadays, depite
the fact that a better beach ?
an scarcely be found on the coast, c
o far as natural advantages go. 0
This is a very unfortunate condition, F
ince there is no other cbance for so
nuch real outing aud recreation 11
luring the hot months at so little v
ost, aud so convenient as is afforded ?
lere. Then, too, the people ought
o feel a natural pride in this native 9
esort. For two years the enter- ^
>rising people of the A G Lumber a
Corporation operated two hotels and c
- - ? ? - TT , 1
i railroad from tne island conagiey, *
bus furnishing a great convenience *
ong needed, but for some reason, ll
Kwsibly lack of sufficient patronage e
>t the island generally, these have
wen abandoned and probably will ^
tot be reopened. The cause of it all &
oust be that our people are patronzing
the resorts farther away,for the D
limple reason that they are able to 0
lo so; but such a practice,so long as
t means a destruction of our
lome resort, ought to be discouraged.
We hare possiblv come in a bad ^
ime, as the weather is showery, and ^
lathing is not such a luxury when
here is an admixture of the waters.
It is poor taste, we recognize, to
iriticise unless iuvited, but when
uch serious and flagrant mistakes t
is the wholesale butchering of our {
>eautiful, native long-leaf pine forest,such
as is in evidence near George- ,
awn and on the peninsular between J
;he Waccamaw and the island, it j
leems like one's duty to speak out
jpenly. For miles between Weenee
river and Georgetown, one experiences
a rare delight in a drive over
the excellent roads (for which
Georgetown county is famous), that
penetrate the beautiful open pine
woods. But his delight, iastead of '
being enhanced as he nedrs the supposed
center of enlightenment, fades
into gloom as he passes into the tur- ^
pentine woods around the city. This
is almost a disgrace, and we would \
ar\ n nn 11 a li fiofl I u if VP If n P W bX' '
J OV UU\|UHI4UVUIJ M ?> w ?.<. ..
ictly where to lay the blame. Be
that as it may, both this beautiful i
jtretch ef timber aud that still more '
a
ittractive tract lying between the
Waccamaw and the ocean are now
loomed to an early and utter deduction,
never again, perhaps, to
i>e restored, certainly not for many
iecades, even centuries. What are l
:he people goiug to do about it? The (
lome builder is discouraged at this j
light and turns his eyes to other
ands,and yet we wonder at our native 1
nen and women flocking to the c
litie s.
