NEWS AND VIEWS ] A FROM ANDREWS.; VfllTE BOY EOMMITS BURGLARY- ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF TRAGEDY REPORTED LAST WEEK. f Andrews,February 7:?Aaoth- . er case of house-breaking occurred in town last Thursday night when the store of Messrs HF Hanks & Son was broken into bv one Liston Scott, white. mf This is the same notorious thief I i who only two years ago broke into the .store of \Y S Camlin, of this place, and served a six : months'term on the ciiamgang. There were two boys implica ted, Liston Scott, white, and llitt Washington, colored, the latter; being now in Kingstree jail, awaiting trial for breaking into ? Mr Charley Pipkin's house and robbing the same, both have f served terms on the chaingangj for the same offense that they have committed in less than two years. Watch the leniency of i Anr /?rkin tc TllPSP t\VO brtVS ik pleaded guilty of breaking open Ki the stoie of W S Cainlin. Scott, K the white boy, was given ;six w^foonths on the county chaingang and the negro, Washington, two jfrfc-year's in the State relormatory and came back home educated* SvBoth boys being about the same rage, they are now both in jail: yt'gain. Scott broke- the front plate glass of Mr Hanks'store K and entered about i) o'clock last "fchursday night. He carried off about $200 worth of goods Quite a lot of the stolen stock has been recovered. Scott says j ^ when he left the store be set the building on tire with paper but *?/the paper went out But he admits that he did all he could to commit arson along with bur if gtary. 5 Mr H N Smith,of the Trio section, was burned to death in his house on Sunday night, January SO. The house caught fire and i the unfortunate old man did not awake until the building was failing in on him. The charred body was found in the middle of where the house stood. Mr Smith was an old Confederate soldier, said to be 67 years of age. ^ The writer spent last Saturday B in Kingstree and stood the exf amination as census enumerator. Let me tell you, Mr Editor, it tested my faith. There were also seTeral ladies of the county taking this test. Those ladies were there to win and we predict that all of them will get the appointment desired. Vl. For the benefit 'of the farmers , -X I will mention tbe formula given W G Camlin for bis fertilizer by Clemson College to make 100 or 125 pounds per acre: 1*200 pounds of 16 per cent acid, 200 pounds of muriate of potash, 150 pounds of nitrate of soda. Ik The 40 two-horse loads of staff ble manure per acre broadcast I on this land they say will fur F nish the ammonia needed. Tbey I 1 consider the above a liberal fer| tilization. Tbey also recommend ft the Marlboro Prolific corn as the ft best seed to be obtained. I We were glad to meet our old i friend,Mr Calhoun Logan, on the f streets of Kingstree last Satur| day, also Mr J P Shaw and others. Subscriber. The Kecord has printed up a number of promissory note books, fifty notes to the book that we ard selling at ten cents each, J tf I i K1NGSTREE GRADED AND : HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. 11 ? - Tlic Wee Nee Literary society held its regular meeting last Friday, quite a number of the members being present. The debate for the afternoon was: Resolved, That art galleries and libraries should bp open on, Sunday." The decision was rendered in favor of the atiirin-1 ative. We were glad to have Mr Colbert and Misses Townsend and Carver .with us. We licpe they wjll came again soon. We are son*y to note that Mr Kyan Woods, of the seventh grade, lias stopped attending school. Mr Lea has gotten straight i.i his new position and the work is going on as usual. Miss Lillie Steward of Hock Hill visited Misses Beckham anil Campbell last week. There will be a "lemon squeeze" at the school house, Friday, February 11, at so'clock. | The proceeds will be used to, buy a set of books for the i library. We hope the friends and patrons of the school will lend, us the encouragement of theiri presence. Meadow Brook Farm. "Meadow Brook Farm" held the boards at Thomas opera! house Monday night and at*; tracted a crowd of out-of-town people as well as a good at-; tendance ot local play-goers. The play, presented by Lou j Streeter and his company, is a pleasing rural comedy-drama pursuing stereotyped lines 1 throughout. There was a plenty of humor and pathos to excite human interest; the 1 villain still pursued and they "lived happy after" quite to the taste of the most admiring < readers of George Barr Mc* i Cutcheon's romantic fiction. Yet in all the chaff of trite repartee, and cut and dried climaxes there was a vagrant touch of quaint humor and naive originality in character delineation that relieved the monotony and redeemed the play from hopeless mediocrity. On the whole, Manager Stackley is giving his patrons their full money's worth and the "tight-wad" who kicks on the moderate price of admission this season is, in the vernacular of the bard of Avon, "fit for treason, stratagem or spoils." Merrlsrtlle losings. Morrisville, February 7:?-Mr Arthur Ehric, accompanied by his sister and Miss Flashacre of Georgetown, visited here Saturday and Sunday of last week. Capt John Ferdon left last week 1 to visit his sons in Georgia and j Florida. We wish the Captain bon voyage and safe return to this port. Mr Mood Graham has resigned his position in Georgetown and returned to the old home here. After all, there's no place like old Morrisville The Sunday-school here has been re-organized with Mr S V McElveen as superintendent.
