Like City, September 10:? A most distressing accident happened at Mr Alexander Jordan's last Thursday, the drowning of his eighteen months old baby. Mrs Jordan is a daughter of the late Mr Aaron T Rodgers and the old Rodgers homestead, where Mr and Mrs Jor- , \ dan live, was the scene of the , tragedy. There is a "clay hole" partly filled with water between *the house and the field. The child's father had just gone to the field and the supposition is that the little fellow was endeavoring totollow when he fell . - .1 - ..-i? ?> r into trie "ciay uuic. tunc naa quite extinct when the body was discovered and taken out. ?The blow was a fearful one to the parents. The shock was such a terrible one to Mrs Jordan that the attention of physicians was necessary. Mr and Mrs Jordan are most excellent - rttor>Art(?H r>pnnlp and ?uu "*5 "V * ? r ? r ! the tenderest sympathy of the ? entire community goes out to them. Mrs Annie Howell ot Sumter 4$ visiting relatives in town. Miss Rena Lucas of Leesburg, Fla., is spending some time with her niece, Mrs W L Bass. Mrs Marie Sutcliffe has gone to Newark, N J, to visit her son, Mr Sidney Sutcliffe. The tobacco sales Thursday i tipped one hundred thousand pound s. This means some fifteen to twenty thousand dollars paid out for the leaf in one day. The prices were good and * general satisfaction prevailed all around. Strictly as a pumpkin we can't beat "the pumpkin" yet; but just wait. This was oun "off" year on pumpkins, but * give us a chance to "spread" ourselves and we'll make "the pumpkin" look like "thirty cents," only more so. Mr Arthur L Jones came home from Asheville for a few days N#st week. V ' * 1-- i?u: A watermelon weigmug mty seven pounds! How's that? On the day this correspondent left on our little outing Mr S 0 Eaddy sent us a "Georgia rattlesnake" which turned the scales clear at the above notch. It was left at one of the warehouses for us, but instead of being sent "around" it was sent' raEM ME* OF'THE 1 SEA SON | ?I "down" the throats of some of those in that warehouse. The temptation was entirely to gTeat for those North Carolinians and Virginians. We call the attention of our friends to this. A South Carolina grown melon, which is liquid sunshine entangled in the web of tie rainbow and dashed with nectar is too great a temptation to be put in the way of these folks. They just can't stand it; they are not used to such luscious ness. Messrs B W Stewart, J S Lynch, J F Rickenbaker and J W Floyd left Friday night for Jamestown. They will be away about a week and will probably visit Baltimore and Washington as well as Norfolk. Saturday Mr H Nachman went to New York where he joins Mrs Nachman. After celebrating new year with their Israelltish friends in New York they will return home by way of Jamestown, spending a few days at the "show" We have obtained from Mr Henry J Williamson, whose home is four miles from Cades, a photograph of his tobacco flolH Th<?r?? and half acres in the patch. The yield was fourteen hundred pounds per acre and he sold the{ crop in the rough on this market and received a clear check for |770.00. We have secured a "band" of the tobacco from a pile valued, in the leaf, at $65.00 per hundred pounds. The photograph of "hand" we have shipped to Jamestown to be placed on exhibition in the South Carolina exhibit. We have the promise of a stalk of cotton from Morrisville for the same purpose Our State has the best exhibit at the exposition and old South Carolina is being, by it, advertised as never before. The attention of the entire country is being attracted by the display which demon strates to an astonished empire the fact that we have the greatest State in the Union. All of us who can ought to see that exhibit to learn what we have, what we are and what we are doing. "Every South Carolinian who walks out of the gates of the Jamestown fair, does so with his head high, much higher than when he entered. He is proud, vastly proud of his State and returns home with a sweet content that his lot is cast where the palmettos wave. E L Hirsch, Esq., came up from Kingstree Tuesday and spent the day in town.
