==I NoticeA receut ruling of the postoflice department requires publishers of weekly newspapers to discontinue all subscriptions that are one year or more behind. We are allowed until April, to comply with this requirement, after which time all subscriptions not paid to April 1 1907 (or beyond that date) will be cut off. We have no choice in'the matter, being compelled to conform to the regulations of the postofflce department. Now, we ask all our subscrib/ ers who are in arrears and want the paper continued, to come up and settle their accounts before April 1, w hile those delinquents who do not care to have the paper any more will confer a favor to notify us and at the same time pay what they owe foi past service.

"Mr C K Eaddy of Cades paid us his respects Monday while in town. It is gratifying to ail to know that at last the canal is being cleaned out. Mrs C C Brinkley visit ed friends and relatives in Lake City last week. Mr J F Chandler of Xesmiths paid us an agreeable visit Saturday while in Kingstrce. Mr T P Graham ot Lake City called to see us Monday and rene wed his subscription. Mr J B Hemingway, of the Home section, is a guest at the Hotel Van Keuren this week. Howe's Great London Show is said to be one of the best that has come through this section for some years. The past tew weeks have been ideal for planting and farmers generally have taken advantage of it. The contract ior cleaning oui the canal has been let to Isaiah Pressly, his bid of $135 being the lowest submitted. Mr W E Snowden, whose illness was noted in this column last week, is able to be out and his articulation is much improved. In a week or two we hope that he will have overcome this attack. The several Easter openings in town were well patronized, as they deserved to be, for a prettier line of millinery has never been brought to this town or county than that exhibited here this season.

Ask yourself the question: "Do I owe anything?" If in doubt call on us or drop a card of inquiry. At the regular meeting Monday the county dispensary board re elected for the ensuing year the three dispensers now serving,also their clerks, viz: Kingstree, J W Coward, dispenser, Sam Brown, clerk; Lake City, M M Rodgers, dispenser, P D Cocktield, clerk; Scranton, A M Ccok, dispenser.

Saturday afternoon the boys of the Xingstree Graded school defeated the Epps postoffice team in t -vo successive games of baseball, the scores being 16 to 6 and 9 to 6, respectively. The games were characterized by a mixture of good and bad playing, but were interesting '< throughout. The next game will be played Friday, at 4 o'clock, with the Greelyville nine. r i Robert Parsons, a negro con- i victed at the last term of court and sentenced to twelve months on the chaingang, made his escape iast Monday and up to this writing (Tuesday) has not been apprehended. The gangis novr at "Stony run", near Salters, and while the guard was eating dinner on the day above mentioned Robert slipped away, | shackles and all,and made good j his escape. Messrs C L and Taiiie Aitman of Suttons recently killed a "coach whip"snake measuring ? feet and 8 inches. If anyone j can beat this in the way of "serpenticide" we would be pleased to hear from him. Mr W S Camlin. Jr., mayor of Harper,was noted on our streets yesterday. Mr J W Lockiiear, a prominent young business man of Trio, was noted here Tuesday. ALLEN'S MINSTRELS A Good Sbow but Not Well Patronized. "Allen's Great New Orleans Minstrels" exhibited here in their tent last Saturday afternoon and night. The players are all negroes and there is some good talent in the company. There are about twenty performers in the troupe and all seem to work conscientiously to j I please. The band of twelve! pieces is an excellent one and the male quartettes are excep1 tionally good. v They did not receive the patI ronage they deserved but the majority of those who attended . were well pleased with the performance. ?

The gasoline boat, the "Mer,cedes" has just returned from a a trio to Georgetown and will be ready on all week days to take pleasure parties on trips up and down the beautiful Black river and to pleasant picnic grounds and flowing artesian wells. Price is reasonable: only 25 cents for a ride of many mil^s on the bosom of one of the lovliest streams. Parties in the country can arrange datef to visit our attractive little city and others can come by railroad. Arrangements may perhaps be made for the local train to stop at the railroad bridge near the picnic grounds and an artesian well of fine water, or they may get off at Kingstree depot and a short walk of four blocks will bring them to the river, where the boat will take either up or down stream for the small sum of 25 cents. Those not pleased with the trip may have their money back. I guarantee my boat to be safe and strainer and can mike a speed of tea miles an hour. Come and enjoy yourselves and take a dary of recreation and rest. You will wish to come again. Lemonade and ice cream can> be served on the grounds. Fine bathing places and shallowwater on white sand banks for the children to wade in. Write me that you are coming.
