Eyery business place in town was cldeed the entire day. Iu the morning special t nan (^services were held at . Baptist church. A large congregation attended and entered earnestly into the spirit of the services. The school children, to the number ofseveral hundred, accompanied by their teachers, speut the afternoon inroamiug through the brown woods in the brilliant sunshine of a delightful autumn day, such as is known only to our Southland. In the evening these same children served cream, oysters, hot suppers and delicacies for the benefit of the piano fund and realized a very satisfactory , profit. *?_ TT Ti c: i.l ri.1: air xx 11 oingieiary is uunuuig a brick market house on Acline avenue, just south of his store.

HIGH AF Perfect* I. D. RE J considers excellent authority that Mr Lexos Lawrence, of the 1'rospect neighborhood,has a genuine case of pellagra. His family physician, Or Eaddy, first diagnosed the malady as pellagra, and Dr McI>eod of Florence,after examination, declaied that Dr Eaddy was correct. We understand that Mr I^awrence will go to Columbia right away to see Dr llabcock. As is well kuown, Mr Lawrence is a splendid young man of excellent family, and his illness is heartily deplored. Mr T S Lee went toCopelaud last week to see his uncle,Mr Frank Carter wVir? who vpru ill hut has sinop been improving. Mr A D Wilson, whose home is below Indiantown church on the road to Home, was in town Monday on business. This reminds us that Mrs Wilson, the mother of Mr A D Wilson, is very probably * the oldest person in Williamsburg county. She isnowln her ninety-second year,yet her health is good and she gets about as well as most folks twenty years hei junior, and complains less than many girls in their teens. When about seventy years of age this lady's sight was very poor. Glasses did no good and she could see only large objects and ' % " ' * rni ei .. iL tiiese imperiectiy. mereaiier mere was regular, gradual improvement until her vision became as clear it was at less than forty?a striking and convincing case of "second sight.''

It seems probable that by the time | this issue of The Record reaches its I readers, Daniel E Motley will be beI hind the bars in Kingstree jail. He j was captureu last rri- ay on a rarm 'in Salem county, Men Jersey, and taken to the jail in 0, iden, N J. : The capture was made l,> Detective ! Smith. According to press reports Motley at first denied his identity, but later broke down and made a full confession to the detective. His (Statement as given in the papers, ! while being correct as to his embez j zling the money and as to :he amount, I contains many untrue allegations. When the officials of the Bank of J Lake City learned of the arrest steps were at once taken to have Motley held and requisition papers gotten i up. Dr Williams, the president, i promptly wired Governor Ansel to have the Governor of New Jersey or1 der Motley's detention, which Governor Ansel did immediately. Solic! itor Stoll prepared requisition papers and Dr Williams carried these to Columbia for Governor Ansel's signature. Sheriff Graham, armed with these papers, departed Monday | evening for TreDton,N J, to present! them to the Governor of that State for his endorsement.
