FROM LAKE CITY.
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.

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

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,'

One night last week, Thursday
we think, some miscreant s
opened the switch in front of
Mr Truluck's stables with the
intention evidently of wrecking n
passenger train No. 89, which 0
was nearly due. 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,

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.

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.

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.
This is the first step
award making this place ^

. with a tobacco markel
.ablished here we not only
can expect the light sandy soils
in and around us to raise us
the golden weed but that famous
section of South Carolina wili
sell its productions on our market,
causing our sales to go up
into the millions of pounds.
Just think! A business man of
! Timmonsville informs us thai
that market has already this
season sold more than one-fourtfr
of a million pounds of tobacco,
and much of this comes froir
our own section and community,
Let us awake from our slumbers
and get ourselves together as

aid our immediate community,
but encourage the entire tobaccc

drive their weed to the leading
