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

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 is wonderful to think of;
this lady, who was two years old
when the great battle of Waterloo
was fought, is still walking the soil
of Williamsburg. She has lived under

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. Dr Williams j

It is sincerely hoped that there will

i an example to others that may be
