A Pertinent Suggestion.
We cvimueiul to every <mi~ of
our st:bacribtis who i; in arrears'
for tile j'aper tin* suggestion coat.

hundreds of p.-opk* art- iva !
ing tiie paper (-very week ami
have paid as nothing for more
tha\ a War, ami there are hun!
dreds who "beat" tiie paper out
of lis oa credit as long as possible
until we hail to cut them oft
our list in self-defense. If anything
will appeal to these ''slowcoaches"
surely "Ego's" suggestion
will. The price of subscription 1
is small?so small . indeed that
manv of our friends forget that
they owe it (or at least they say
they do); but think what five'
hundred of these little accounts
mean to us.
If our friend "EgoV suggestion
were carried out what a graud
Christmas this would be, not only :
to the editor, but to the Mrs
Editor and the "SecondEdition" as:
well. And how much better paper
we would be able to give i
you in 1910.
We hope that many who have
neglected us for these many months
past will act on our friend's suggestion
and make glad the holidays
for the editor and those
who are dependent upon bis,
labors.

By the way, where is Dr. Bigham,
convicted of participating in
the killing of his wife and sentenced
to serve a term of three
and one-half years iu the penitentiary?
Avant, his partner in
the crime, i3 already serving his
sentence, while Bigham, considered
by many the worse offender
against the law, is still at large,
and so far as the public is advised,
no one knows or cares
where he is or anything at all
about the matter. Surely our
courts of law are in a bad way
when justice can be flouted as in,
the case of Bigham. ,

GREELYVILLE GLEANINGS.
A Church Muslcale -Items of Local
and Personal Interest.
Greelyville, December 4:?Tlie
concert gotten up by Mr and
Mrs L Urier Friday night, December
for the building fund
of the I'resbyterian church was ,
a grand success. The school
auditorium presented quite a
pleasing appearance. The stage
was beautifully and tastefully
decorated with sprays of wild
smilax and Xmas berries.
Those who did this work were:
Air and Mrs G'rier, Mrs Faunst,
Misses Emma Footman and
Hattie Tutle.
One of the most attractive
features of the evening's entertainment
was the quartette from
Manning, under the leadership
of Mr Joe Wells. Then the
>weet old sonyfs as >u:in" by the
choruses were very enjoyable,
brinyiny back* fond recollections
of "days that have as happy
been' to many. The other lea-!
ture< were equally j^ood. The!
programme was as follows:

A Destructive Fire. i
About 9 o'clock Friday night 1
December 3, at Cooper Dros'
store about eight miles east cf
Kingstree, tire broke out in a
warehouse used for storing (
cotton and cotton-seed and ]
destroyed the building and <
contents, consisting of about 25 i
tons of seed and 5 bales of seed
cotton, besides about $100 worth J
of larming implements.
Ihe loss is estimated at
$2,000 with no insurance. The j
origin of the tire is un- i
known. 1

After exposure, and when you '
feel a cold coming on, take Foley's
Honey and Tar, the great throat
uu-i luner remedy. It stops the 1
cough, relieves the congestion, and ^
expels the cold from your system.
Is mildly laxative. Refuse sub* \
stitutes. D C Scott. ]
Real Estate Transfers. I
Monday was sales-day and a
lot?or rather several lots?of
Williamsburg dirt changed
hands at what some say were
fancv prices. That depends
however, altogether on the
point of view and the plane
of vision of buyer and seller
are as a rule quite wide apart,
ilowbeit, the real estate was
transferred and if any one of
these buyers is a sadder man
the public is none the wiser.
As auctioneer, a new Richmond
appeared in the person
of Mr Walter 11 Bryan, and
when he overcame tile preliminary
embarrassment due to the
innate modesty of a beginner,
Mr Bryan, in the vernacular
of the boys, proved to be a
cracker-iack. As an admiring
by-slander remarked, he had at
lasi found iii> calling.
There wore two classes ol j
sale**, those of the Sheriff under j
foreclosure tud nine tracts ad j
vertBed bv the executors of the!
estate
of 1> X Martin. The Sheriff's
>aies came tirst and were I
disposed of as follows: j
Two tracts, containing 106 j
and 100 acres, respectively, to'
Cooper Bros,the mortgagees, fori
$500 each. Two acres at Trio !
to M E McDonald for $245. One
tract near Cedar Swamp, containing
800 acres, to S Brown for
$1,000. One tract, containing
<5 acres near Potato ferry, was
bid in by F lilu .a Jz Son, the
mortgagees, for $350.
Tlie nine tracts advertised for
sale by the executors of the .Mar- .
tin estate, aggregating 966
acres, brought $6,570.
