Saranton has a real nice, well arranged and commodious twostoried brick school house, and it was built entirely by popular subscription. That town has some men of whom any town would be proud. The young folks had quite a nice affair at Mr D M Epps's one night last week. The sewerage system continV^es to be extended. Attention is now concentrated upou that section of the town embracing ttye tobacco warehouse district and the residential quarter to i" the north. The Atlantic Coast Line officials have learned mat this town is not an enemy and are cooperating with the officers of the municipality in this ail important matter of drainage. Dansing street, which runs upon the site of an old duck pond, is now thoroughly drained and monuments to Intendant Blackwell now stand where water ^ fowl made their homes only a ' few years ago. That splendid fruit grower and all around good farmer, Mr A B Johnson, has our thanks for a bag of tine Sneed peacnes. Mr Johnson is demonstrating right upon his farm the adaptability of certain fruits to this soil find climate. Messrs W A lirunson and F L Willcox of Florence were in town one day last week.

Mrs Varner will go from there to Georgia to spend several weeks with rela f 1 TTQC CI V CO. # Miss Cornelia Plowden from Manning- was the guest of Mi S P Oliver last Monday. Messrs S V Taylor and C I Harris went to Sardinia last Tuesday night to help institute a K. of P. lodge at that place, They expressed themselves as bein<4 highly entertained while there. Miss Eunice Nettles of our rival city, Lanes, was here sev. eral days last week visiting al Mr W CTutle's. Miss Fannie, a daughter ol ( apt D J Pradham, is extreinelj ill at her father's home on Var ner avenue. Quite a number of men from here went to Montgomery's lake on Black river last Thursday night to a fish supper. Mrs R L Grier and children have returned after spending several weeks at Rock Hill. Mr A McD Burgess and family have moved to their country home to rusticate during the hot months. Revs 11 W iSpigner, L E Peeler and Mr T W Boyle attended District Conference at St George's last week as delegates from Greelyville Methodist church. Miss I'helan, a trained nurse from Charleston, is here helping Dr Ilaselden with his patients. A petition to the county board of education has been circulated asking for the privilege of holding an election to decide the question of issuing bonds in our school distiict to raise money to build our new school house. If this petition* is granted we feel sure that there will be no opposition to the movement, so we think there is little doubt that we will have a handsome school building by the opening of the next session. Mr J A Montgomery is very awkwardly receiving- tlie congratulations of his friends on the arrival of his nine-pound boy. Ivlr J T Hair went to Georgetown one day last week on busi ness. .Mr Eugene Brunson and family are at Mr J R Ilair's spend ing several days. . Two white men came neai Shoes! >ygetting into a serious row here Saturday afternoon while they were under the damnable in1 fluence of whiskey, the devil's favorite decoction. Their friends 1 interfered and they were taken before Intendant Boyle and fined < three dollars. ^ We are glad to see our good I old friend, Mr S J Taylor, on tne ' streets again after being quite unwell tor several weeks. i Tbe Williamsburg Case. / The Williamsburg case has 1 been settled by the removal of : two of the members of the dis* pensary board. The fault of . these two members did not lie 5 in any abuse of their office, but 5 in failing to measure up to the strict standards of duty expect ed by the law. In fact, the . charges were that the board alt lowed the clerk to order good9; that they sometimes bought P goods in excess of the awards r! and that they did not always .' buy the cheapest liquor. They j were, in fact, ''too easy." The point that we wish to t make in. this case is that the ' people of the county of Williamsburg', just as the people of the county of Florence and those of Charleston and Ricbi land and all the rest of lhe Sfkte jare under solemn obligation to J have the county dispensary affairs carefully looked after I through the grand juries, so | that there might not be oppor1! tunity even for the suspicion of I rrrn ft :ind few. if anV. of the f,. M...., v. , -- , j grand juries of the State, have carried out their obligations in this matter. The dangers of the county system are becoming ! apparent, just as was predicted by the men who urged that the old State system be continued with provisions for cleansing and turning the sunlight in on it. ? Florence Times. Picnic at Helnemann. Heinemaxn, May 10.?Quite an enjoyable picnic was given on last Friday by Miss Clelia ; Keels to celebrate the closing of i her school here. The picnic : v*as a success in every way. The spot was an ideal one for a picnic?under the large oaks on , Mr J P Gamble's avenue. The branches of the giant ' oaks which line both sides 01 this beautiful avenue meet in the center, thus forming a beau, tiful, cool and shady walk for : nearly two hundred yards. The school here has just closed a very successful year with Miss Keels as teacher. See the display of commence r | ment huts at Gale A Gale >.
