tBm The biggest rain of the year,
some say the biggest in tiftj
HW years, fell here on the night of
I the 7th instant. After a day of
intense heat the clouds opened
fe.nd the floods descended. The
water literally fell in sheets, in
[torrents, and figuratively it
icame down as if the bottom had
dropped out. Yet next morning
the streets were dry and in
r seventy-two hours were dusty.
The sewers simply carried away
the flood as by magic, and not
a seam parted; not a tap choked.
The system tar exceeds in efficiency
the contract requirements.
There is no malaria in
the town and nothing else that
can be attributed to lack of
drainage or to filth.
The Williamsburg delegation
held a meeting Monday and
selected the following commissioners
of election: State,
Messrs E F Prosser, J L Gowdy
and Jas E Davis. Federal, Messrs
J J Morris, J R Cox and C M

VOTE BY COUNTIES
For Solicitor in the Third Judicial
Circuit.
The race for Solicitor in the
third judicial circuit was a pretty
one and hotly contested from
start to finish. After the first
primary the two remaining candidates
were so evenly matched
that it was impossible to forecast
intelligently the result. Mr
Stoll being the younger man and
not in possession of the office
was at a disadvantage, to wbiob
might be added the fact that for
many years Williamsburg has never
asserted her right to representation
in the State government
by putting out a candidate for
any office, and all throogh the
campaign Mr Stoll's defeat, even
by many who supported him,
was regarded as a foregone conclusion.
But the splendid campaign made
by Mr Stoll, supplemented by
the enthusiastic and tireless work
of his zealous and loyal friends, !
overcame all handicaps and Williamsburg's
candidate was triumphantly
elected. Yet the vote was
so close that until every precinct
in all the counties had been reported
the issue was in doubt.
Out of 7,136 votes in the circuit
a majority of 130 is uncomfortably
small. Sixty-six votes
changed frou Stoll to McLaughlin
would have meant McLaughlin's
election.
The vote by counties stands as
follows:
Third Circuit
McLaughlin Stoll
Clarendon 949 576
Lee 1,089 548
Sumter 791 985
Williamsburg 674 1,524

A Freak Bet.
Spartanburg, September 14.?
Special: Election bets are now
being paid. One of the freak
bets made before the Senatorial
election was that of S C Little,
manager of John Gary Evans's
headquarters. Mr Little wagered
that if Smith beat Evans by
over 20.000 votes he would leave
the State. Mr Little will leave
here to-morrow morning for
parts unknown. As tiiere was
no time limit in the wager it is
thought that he will return
within the next several weeks,
though he may make his home

VACATION OVER, SCHOOL BEGINS.
Kiogstree Graded School Opens
With Appropriate Exercises.
Kingstree, September 14:?
With the bright sunshine
streaming through the open
doors and windows of the
beautiful auditorium of the
graded school, illuminating the
happy faces of one hundred and
eighty eight pupils, and to the
strains of that grand old hymn,
"Come, Thou* Almighty King,"
the session of 1908.1909 was
auspiciously begun at 9
o'clock this morning# When the
bell rang . a large number of
patrons and interested spectators
bad filled tie lower seats
of the big auditorium, and without
a moment's delay the various
classes, headed by their respective
teachers, Sled in and
took their proper places. There
was no confusion or disorder,
and no crowding. With the
building of the auditorium, with
its three large class rooms
above, the crowding and jostling
of the children so noticeable
on former like occasions has
been entirely avoided and there
is now a plenty of room for.alU
While the pupils enrolled to-day
number about i?? it is reasonably
certain that by October 1
the enrolment will reach 275,
and possibly 300. The board of
trustees intend to make this
school one of the very best in
the State and if the enrolment
warrants it they will provide
an additional teacher. The roll
of teachers has recently been
jriven in this corresbondence, so
O" *
it will not be repeated here.
The opening to*day was most
auspicious and is an occasion
of which every loyal resident
of Kingstree is proud. Mr
Colbert, the principal of the
school, outlined his course in a
plain, practical talk, which
impressed his hearers as that of
a man who understood his
business and would see that it
was properly attended to. The .
work of the term has commenced:
may it prove to be all
that the friends of the school
wish tor it,?Xewx and Courier,
For prompt relief in cases of weak

of these pills is shown in a very little

better the next morning, as they act
promptly. They are antiseptic. Be
