I A mule and buggy sold at auction under foreclosure Tuesday afforded a crowd of gentlemen of leisure some amusement. The buggy brought *85.25 and Balaam was knocked down at Among the visitors to the State fair are noted the following: Mr and Mrs L Jacobs, Dr and Mrs W V Brockinton, Miss Ada Brockinton, D J Epps, L Stackley, Miss Lila Ilammet, K II Kellahan, John Boss. Mrs M L Allen, who has been visiting at the home of Mr James Allen, returned to her home in k'ino-stree Friday, savs the; 1 Florence correspondent of the Columbia State. The name ofKingstree hotel has been changed to Kellahan Hotel. This is as it should be. Mr Kellahan had public spirit enough to build this fine hotel for the benefit of the town and it should in years to come remain a monument to his memory. Miss Nellie Bristow of Florence, who was formerly a teacher in the graded school here, spent Saturday and Sunday with friends in town. Miss Bris I tow was stenographer in the reference argued before J P McNeil, Esq, on Saturday. The second lyteum number is Miss Emma Lee Randle, reader and impersonator. This attraction will be presented in the school auditorium on Thursday evening, Novembers. Miss Randle comes highly endorsed by the press as a high class elocutionist and an impersonator of unusual ability. Seats are on sale at P S Courtney's. Bids were opened last Friday for the construction of a reinforced concrete bridge across I the canal. The contract was let to Messrs H E & ? X Beatty of Georgetown for $1,178.28, their bid being the lowest submitted. The work of building the bridge will be commenced as early as possible. This will be a long needed .improvement for our town. The part of Williamsburg county included in the propond Rutledge county area contains 1,034 registered voters, accordZing to the statement given by the board of supervisors of registration last Saturday. With a tctal vote in the last primary election of less than 2,400 there will be left in Williamsburg county about 800 voters. Assuming that the books of the (registration board are correct this leaves the old county in pretty bad shape so far as population is concerned. Notice of Election.
