THURSDAY. SEPT. 26 1907.
According to a headline in the
News & Courier last week a Clarendon
county farmer offered one
hundred dollars per hundred to
have his cotton pictcea. ir tms
could be verified we feel confident
that every scion of the
Adamic race who holds down an
editorial tripod would resign inStanter
and join the merry harvesters
of the fleecy staple.
Uncle George'' Byars brought to
The Ledger office yesterday a mon- ,
strous pumpkin. It tipped the
scales at 31 14 pounds. "Uncle
George" learned 10 raise these things
in old York, where they can raise
them without work.?(iatfney Ledger.
That pumpkin might appear
big in Cherokee couutv, but in
Williamsburg it would be regarded
as verv "onery." If Brother
DeCamp will come over to Kingstree
we will show him some
pumpkins worth bragging about;
for instance, that little speciman
at the Farmers' Supply Co's that
tips the beam at one hnndred
and ten pouuds.
HOMICIDE AT SINGLE.
Negro Woman Shot From Ambush
Possibly by Her Husband.
Lake L'ity, beptemoer za:?
Last Satuary night Jane Graham
was shot and instantly
killed at her home at Single,
seven miles east of this place.
There seems to be some doubt
as to whether the killing was (
at the hands of Ben Graham, '
the dead woman's husband, of I
of Lifrage Edwards, her paramour.
The weight of opinion (
of the best men of that commun- j
ity is to the latter view. Trou- ,
ble has been brewing quite a
while among these people, i
Jane seemed infatuated with (
"Life,"who is a widower,worked (
his crop and left her husband to
cook and take care of the child- <
ren and do the best he could | (
with his farm. On the fatal (
night Edwards went home with
Ben, ostensibly to carry medi
cine to Ben's sick child. Jane
refused even to speak to her husband,
but cooked a nice fish
supper for Life, after Life had
driven Ben out of the house. Af
ter suppei the guilty pair spent
awhile in the yard. While there
Ben was seen near the hog pen*
Life then fled towards his home '
followed by two loads of shot
from Ben's gun, which, however,
did no damage. Ben then
went into the house and put a
load into .a chair near Jane, who
left the house with her girl, going
towards Edward's house, a
few hundred yards away. Ben
left, going in the opposite direction.
As Jane and the girl were 1
passing a clump of thick bushes,
the woman was shot in the
back by some one concealed behind
these bushes and unseen by 1
the girl. The woman dropped
dead. Magistrate Gaskins and
a jury, of whom W F Kennedy
" "~A V
was foreman, held the inquest.
The above is a general summary
of the testimony.
Tired mothers, worn out by the
peevish, cross baby have found
Cascasweet a boon and a blessing.
Cascasweet is for babies and children,
and is especially good for the
ills so common in hot weather. Look
for the ingredients printed on the
bottle. Contains no harmful drugs.

CHRONICLES OF LAKE CITY
FOR THE PAST WEEK.
EVERY DAY EVENTS AND PARAGRAPHS
CONCERNING PEOPLE IN TOWN
AND ENVIRONS.
Lake City, September 24:?
Mr C D Richey, whose home is
now in Wilmington, N. C., was
here the latter part of last week
to see his sister.
Mr 0 S Baldwin left here Tuesday
for Columbia, where he will
take the law course at the South
Carolina University. He was
joined by Mr Jack McElveen of
Cades, who won the normal
scholarship in that school.
Two girls came to Mr S W
Gowdy's Monday. We can't say
whether or not he is wearing
two smiles, but think not, as it
is suggested that he has taken
to the woods. We will ha\e tc
build another school house in a
year or two.
This correspondent has nc
record-breaking melons or
pumpkins of his own production,
yet he raised some right
nice peppers. A few days ago
he measured some half a dozen
or more, winoii avcidgcu lcu
inches in shortest circumference.
One went 101 2 by 11 3-4 inches.
They are of the "Ruby King"
variety.
There are about a hundred
acres of upland long staple cotton
around here. Dr J B DuRant
sold a bale last week for
23 cents a pound, Mr S T Godwin
has a gin especially adapted
to ginning this variety of cot
ton.
The tobacco and cotton businesses
have assumed such proportions
that one covered platform
can no longer accommodate
these products. Hence the
Coast Line has built another
platform south of the station
house and to this the tobacco
will be transferred.
Messrs W J Singleiary and J
L Covington last week sold two
(2)barns of tobacco for $884.25,
clear check. That may seem incredible,
but we have it upon
good authority that it is a fact.
During the last forty years
of the nineteenth century our
Southland suffered more calamities
than any other noble land
was ever called upon to endure,
but we are now coming into our
own, and twenty years from today
the South will again dominate
the entire United States.
This is no idle brag, but a cold
deduction from cold facts in sylogism
framed according to the
most inflexible laws of Kant.
Well! well! Who would have
thought our uBeau Brummel"
would have wrought the theme
for a washer woman's song?
Yet such is the melancholy
fact. The '"Immaculate," with
a dainty (lamsel in spotless
white on each arm, sauntering
down McAlister street, totally
oblivions to ea rtb, sea and sky
?rn other words, not caring a
tbrip whether the sun would
rise in the east or in Shoat Gaskins'
turnip patch?t hey stepped
off blithely into the guard
house ditch.His,'head was the first
part that struck and ploughed
the mud like a Mississippi river
snag boat, then the laces, ribbons,and
so forth,promptly fob
lowed into the sweet, oozing of
the home of frogs, cooters and
snakes. Suit, dresses and all
went to the cleaning house and
laundry.
