making the change will go into
effect October 1. The salary
will be $1,200 per annum.
HonJCLanham, member of

Quite a number of his friends ]

poll absolutely unanimously, i
The floods did lots of damage
along Lynch's river and brought '
loss to many. Nearly all the
crops in the river valley proper '
were injured more or less, and
the owners of these crops were |
heavily stricken in some cases, (
but so far as we can learn none
was "hit" so hard as Mr John L
Poston, who lives in the very '
"notch" of the fork between!
Lynch's river and Lynch's lake.
It seems that his crop was almost
completely ruined. If any
along the river suffered to an
extent that they need help and
will l#?t it h#? known, we feel
sure that kind hearts are in
plenty that will not withold
aid in the time of need.
Mr Que Carter, post master
at Effingham, was in town a ;
short while Friday last. i
We are glad to be corrected
by our noble old friend, the
|lSage of Pos6umFork.,,He knew
that this writer did not in- 1

rightly concluded that we had

kindly nature called attention to
the error. That to which public- '
ity was given was repeated to
the writer so many times and
by so many people who ought
to know, that he naturally
thought it true. But now we
take it back. To us the 4,Sage's''
word is worth a million reports.
He knows more about the lower
part of Lynch's river and the
Pee Dee in his section than we
ever dreamed of, and then too
he is a man whose word is
straight. Whatever he says can
be relied on implicitly. Therefore
we now sav that the flood
in Pee Dee a? \ Lynch's rivers

Scranton, September 22:?A
white man named Henry Grimsley
came very near being killed
Saturday night by a Northbound
freight train, which was
running at a slow speed. Grimsley
seemed to be well loaded
with 4'booze", which made him
forget the difference between a
cross-tie and a rocking chair;
therefore he sat down on a tie,
and was resting very pleasantly
till the cow-catcher of the train
gave him a scrape, inflicting
two or three wounds in his head
large and deep enough to expose
his skull-bone at a far distance.
Gnmsley was at once taken to
Dr Pate's office and with the as

this writing the injured man is
rapidly improving. Grimsley is
a resident of this town and has
many friends here who wish him
a safe recovery.

How to get Strong.
P J Daly, of 1247 W Congress
St., Chicago, tells of a way to be
come strong: He says: "My mother,
, who is old and was very feeble, is
deriving so much benefit from Electric
Bitters, that I feel it's my duty
to tell those who need a tonic and
strengthening medicine about it.
In my mother's case a marked gain
in flesh has resulted, insomnia has
been overcome, and she is steadily
growing stronger." Electric Bitters
quickly remedy stomach, liver and
kidney complaints. Sold under
guarantee at D C Scott's drug store.

How Ibe Williamsburg County Vote i
Vent in Second PrimaryHaving
finally managed to secure
the second primary tallyeet,
we give this week a belatabular
statement of the
.e tor county candidates and
tue total vote foi the State candidates.
This is not exactly
news, bat when the next campaign
rolls around those who1
preserve it for future reference |
will find it interesting. The
vote follows:
For United States Senator:
Evans 441, Smith 1,763;
State Superintendent of Education:
Mellichamp939, Swearing-en
1,259;
Railroad Commissioner: Cansler
1,463, Caughman 729.
The Spirit ot Improvement Prevails.
We were more than pleased to
note the wonderful and marked
improvement in the home of the
Kingsteee Hardware Co since
making recent changes in their
place of business.
They have recently converted
their two large stores into one
mammoth store, by removing
a section of the brick partition
heretofore dividing the two
stores. As it now appears, they |
present more the appearance of
a large city store than that of a
town of this size. This recent 1
change enables them to show
their large stock of goods to a
much better advantage and '
gives them so much more light s
and room than heretofore. This '
firm is one of the most pro- {
gressive firms in our county. 1
it
starting nere about 4 years ago
in a small frame building and *
in this short while have made
wonderful strides, now "being (
capiatilized at $15,000.00, and
occupying one of the largest
stores in town and a large ware
house in addition, Soor space
including ware houses being 1
more than 8,000 square feet.
Hard work and good business :
management have secured this (
vast growth in business.
Mr Carr, whc has had the ac- |
tive management of the business, 1
is a veteran hardware man of 1
more than 30 years' experience
in this line, and his customers
profit by his experience when
trading with this wide-awake ]
firm. (
Their stock embraces every- (
thing that is carried in a first
class hardware store, and this
establishment would do credit 1
to a large city. We bespeak for <
them a continuation of their 1
marvelous growth.
