SUDDEN DEATH OF A GOOD MAN - A WEDDING, AND OTHER MATTERS OF MUCH INTEREST. Lake City, July 22:?Mr J D Singletary spent Sunday and Monday on Sullivan's Island. Dr A II Williams returned, home Monday from a stay of about a week in Colleton county. The doctor never neglects to visit his kin-folks now and then. Miss Mamie Johnson is away on a lengthy trip. She is now in Asheville, N C, with her brother, Mr Eugene Johnson. In the course of a week or. so they will go to Atlanta for a visit of several days. I)r M D Nesmith is at Glenn Springs. Mrs Nesmith is enjoying herself on Sullivan's Island. It seems that there are really a few people who think the weather of late has been hot. Well, there is no accounting for the notions some will take. T? O T XVCV O <J uCLiica anu laiuuj are spending the summer at Reedy Creek Springs in Marion ccunty. When Gabriel blows his trumpet some women will kick because he didn't wait until they got their evening rigs on. Have you noticed how very little thunder and lightning we have had this summer? This may not be phenominal, but we recall nothing like it in our short life. Mr John Murphey died very suddenly Friday morning about 9 o'clock. He was stricken !iL 1 J- ^ WHO pa laiysis nvjixic icu ui twelve years ago and for a time it was thought that he would not get up any more, but he regained sufficient strength to go about unaided, and for several , years it was a familiar sight to see him hobbling to the postoffice and back again daily. Occasionally he would wander in other parts of town, slowly plodding his way with aid of a stick, saying nothing but beaming with kindly eye upon the thoughtful passerby who gave him a greeting or friendly nod. But this is ail over now. After breakfast he took his accustomed seat upon the piazza. His sister, who thought him asleep went to him and found that he was rapidly passing away, and in a very few minutes was gone,' 4 ft /v^vvvyv^vwvwvwyvwvyvv^ JMMEF Silks cilL'c if fh^t will mnWr4 ttl L/l IV.VJ inui M e notice.

Mr George a Gray happened to witness the v deed but could not recognize the man on account of the dark ness and the distance. Suspic- ? ion points to an ex-railroad employee, but no arrest has yet been made, c Mr L H Stewart and Miss t Dora Weamus were married in f, Columbia on the 31th instant. t Mr Stewart brought his bride a to his home which is a few miles i; from here. The young couple ^ have the hearty good wishes of t their friends for a happy and a long wedded life. b Magistrate Gaskias hel d a preliminary investigation of J~ the case of The State vs.George ^ Tilton, charged with assault ^ and battery with a pistol and P intent to kill and murder. The u magistrate held that the State u had made out a probable case, v and in default of bail in the sum ^ of one thousand dollars, re- ^ manded Tilton to jail for trial in the court of general sessions. The assault and battery was committed upon his wife. \V. L. B. Mr R M Yause Injured. Mr R M Vause was the victim ot a very unfortunate accident last Saturday in wfiicii ne got the fore finger on his left hand so badly mashed that it was necessary to amputate it at the first joint, which was done by Drs. Scott and Jacobs in the former's drug store. Mr Vause was doing some repair work on the ginnerv across from his shop and while turning one of the wheels his finger was caught in the cogs with the above result. While he is experiencing considerable pain from his injury, he is doing as well as could be expected and will soon be at his post of duty again. wv ^vvvvwvvvvwtvvyvw BAF N,WE ARE CLOSING O E r Goods, Shoe -vt prices that will certa You are "From Missouri,' Quarter Shoes, Black ; dies' and Children's, all ^>ing at CUT PRICES, w +h so-called cost pric \ WASH ( At greatly reduced prices.

Facts and Fgures. j We set forth in our article last , reek the adaptation of our soils ^ 1 and around Kingstree for the t ultivation of tobacco, calling ttention to the fact that large * artunes are awating us, and g i the same article we urged the j usiness men of town and coun ry to immediate action. This week we wish to publish j. ome figures showing what our ^ ister town, Lake City, is doing. ^ Last year the three ware J r ouses in that place handled lore than three million pounds , f the golden weed, at an aver- ( ge price of 10 cents the pound, t rhich means that three hundred f housand dollars was paid out j or the crop. What else does it , lean? There was three hundred r housand dollars put into the ^ ands of the farming class of ^ eople to be applied to already t ontracted accounts or which ^ hey were at liberty to spend ( ur the necessites of life. Just . hink of this! Besides the aver- ^ ge cotton crop, there was this t irge income to be expanded? . o be spent promiscuously in j hat town and the community r t least was to this amount t etter off. But you say this is true of <ake City, but not ot us. That g re cannot expect these things ere. No, nor can we ever ex- ^ ect these things to be true wit h s if we don't take some action j, )ward bringing them to pass. ie must first get together and ^ etermine to build our wareouses.

Suppose we sell only iftv or seventy live thousand lollars worth, of tobacco: does t not mean that we are putting nto the hands of this commulity exactly this much more noney to be spent among us?
