TheSrtdei tod of lr. J. IcBride
Scott.
Oar town was shocked Tuesday
afternoon when it was
^^^Jgaraed that Mr. McBride Scott
had drppped dead on the street.
The following* sketch of his
5 life is given by the Kingstree
correspondent of the News and
Courier
|| MrS.McBride Scott dropped dead
on Main street here Tuesday
afternoon about 4 o'clock. He
was standing engaged in conversation
with a friend at the
Bank- of Willia&sburg, when,
without warning, he fell forward
on his face. Medical aid
was promptly summoned, Dr.
Jacobs reaching him in a few
^minutes, but he never moved or
^"spoke after he fell, and was
* " dead when the physican reached
his side. ,
With tbedeath of Judge Scott,
as he was affectionately called
by the whole county, another ,
landmark of this old town passes
away. At the time of his
death Mr Scott was the oldest
inhabitant *of the town, being
about 73 years of age. No man
in Williamsburg was better
known or bad more friends than
Judge Scott.

been identified with Williams- ,
burg since the days of the Bev-.
olution.Mr Scott was of a genial,
kindly disposition,with a friendly
word for everyone,and a fund 1
of information, which made him
welcome in any company. In

failed to show the chain of title, .
P/- but has gone to the Judge for ,
help; and it was seldom that he
tailed to put him on the right 1
track.
Judge Scott passed his whole j
life here in Kingstree and loved <
his home and people with the
intensity and zeal for which is
. noted the sturdy Scotch ancestrvfrom
which he sprung. At i
different times he served his
people as sheriff, magistrate,
judge of probate and clerk of
court, and was faithful tp every
trust.
Mr Scott was married in early
life to Miss Pendergrass, who
survives him, with five children,

k F Scott. Mrs John McFadden
and Mrs M L Allen. One sister i
ffearried tbe late Dr John Brock*inton,
and a second sister is Mrs

Our Correspondent Does Not Favor
New County Scbene.
cades,December31:?I notice
in last week's issue of The Record
that our friend, The
limes' correspondent, "Knocks
Kingstree to boost Ijake Citf,"
with regard to the scheme projected
to form Lake county entirely
out of Williamsburg territory,with
La>ke City as the county
seat.
We will admit that Lake City
I S J
is nusumg ana tunving ana
her people progressive, but we
fail to see tow we will be benefited
by having extra taxes to
pay to meet the demands of a
new county government.
We deem it bad enough to
have a gallows on one side of
us, but to become so unfortunate
as to have one on either
side suggests Sherman's definition
of war.
Mr Editor, we have no desire
to reflect on Lake City, but we
hope by calling attention to
these things to awaken the |
good citizens 01 wunamsDurg
residing in the lower part of the
county. That it is a little farther
from Johnsonville to
Kingstree than from Lake
City to Kingstree every one
knows, so that, if we are to
have the new county, it would
be decidedly to the interest of
the people in that section to
have a county seat among them.
We wish to advise the people
living in the lower part of Williamsburg
to open their eyes
and see the position they will
be placed in if they sleep on
their rights and allow Lake
county to be voted in.
When time comes for yoting
on the county question we want
every man to go to the polisand

If Lake county should get any I
