Greelyville, July 6.?The l
Fourth of July passed very I
quietly here. Most of the stores
closed and the postoftice was c
opened only for Sunday hours. j
Mr P R Keels went to Charleston
Saturday and staid till this e

Mr W H Branson and his sis- 1
ter, Miss Georgia, visited friends
near Foreston on the Fourth.
Miss Georgia staid over for
preaching at Brewington church ^
on Sunday.
Mr Robt Montgomery, from
near Foreston, was here for a ^
short while yesterday afternoon, j
Mr T W Boyle has been quite

seen some fine fields of corn belonging
to Messrs S J Taylor, ^
R S Brunson, W C Tuttle and C j
R Burgess. These gentlemen
are experimenting on the Williamson,
Drake and Tindal plans.
The Williamson corn seems to '
be the best now.
Mr W E Allen has the best cotton
we have seen.
c
Messrs S H and EI Montgom- ^
ery and J E Green are the only t
tobacco planters around here.
We have not seen any but Mr. jj
Green's. He has three acres of
the finest tobacco that we have
ever seen. He expects to get a *
fancy price for it as the quality s
is extra fine. Mr Green is a vet- v
eran tobacco raiser, from the
famous Pudding Swamp section, F
and knows how to get the best S
results from our naturally tine e
tobacco soil. c
tp The roads leading into Greely- f
ville are in worse than their ^
^ , "usual bad condition" as re- a
M? ported by the grand jury at the n
^ ^pylast term of court. Those who s
s ^A^are expected to keep the a
roads in a little better than pass- c
able condition, evidently believe
that the day is near when we u
will do all our traveling in air- a
ships and not need roads at all.

Scranton, July 6:?Policeman
G F Kamarow, while at- ^
tempting to arrest S 0 Byrd
here Saturday night, was ser
iously cut in several places ,
about his head and throat. 1
Byrd came very near cuttingKamarow's
throat, and it it
hadn't been for Messrs J M
Myers and J E Turner, who
parted them, we believe that j
the trouble would have been a
fatal one?while it may prove
fatal yet. Both parties are {
very prominent men and have 1
j many friends here. Byrd was *
not hurt and was placed in the c
lock up, but he managed to
break out Sunday morning and ^
went to Lake City, where he <
was arrested by constable Belk,
but was released on a $500.00 (
bond. A hearing was given fc
Monday and on account of Mr ]
Kamarow being unable to at- I
tend, Mr Byrd was committes
to jail until Dr Lynch, the attending
physician, pronounced
Mr Kamarow out of danger,

ary hearing. At this writing (
