T M Sea we 11 spent Saturday and Sunday in Oheraw. Miss Edith Carter is in town irom Richmond spending some time with her mother, Mrs Delia D Carter. Rev L N Chappelle, who now has the pastorate of the Baptist church at Easley, was here last week with his family. The Home Missionary society -of the Kingstree district was in session at the Lake City Methodist church from Friday morning till Sunday night. The ^ closing feature of the meeting was a talk by Mr Wightman. Ijjr C S Lucas took advantage of the fact that Tuesday of last week was a legal holiday and x Ai._ J speni uie uciy iu x- iuicuvc. Mrs. Emmie Bass is visiting Mesdames W V Brockington and H G Askins in Kingstree. Miss Melva Gibson spent last Saturday's school holiday in the city just beyond Jeffries creek. It seems that folks go to Florence only when they have nothing to do at home. This is but #hat ought to be expected, as spending a day in that town is as. near work as can well be imagined. Col O T Hall is on his annual i, visit taold friends and kindred in Danville, Va. j Mr L O Hollovay is away on a trip of several weeks through Florida and South Georgia. He will spend some time in all places of interest or importance - of that region. Unless all signs are mislead ing and all reports untrue, this town and community is being flooded with liquor. The smell on the breaths of many passers by upon the streets is not at all unusual and public drunkenness seems about as common as ever in the past. On every hand are heard rumors of illicit liquor sellers and there appears to be a well founded impression that blind*tigers in abundance are abroad, not only in this and other towns, but through* out'the rural districts of tiie surrounding country. Mr K K Currin attempted suicide last Wednesday. He was in Magistrate Baldwin's office alone with that officer. When Mr Baldwin's attention was < , , attracted Mr Currin had a revolver pointed towards his breast and was muttering words ot hopelessness. The magistrate crannied with the 3 ? 1 1 would-be self-murderer and * * finally secured possession of v -file pistol, v. ^ One night last week a prisoner in the town guardhouse broke out and escaped. The instruments with which he effected *# his exit wero handed in from the outside by a friend and one r . who is evidently of a lawless character. Aiding a prisoner to break jail is correctly regarded as a serious crime, a dire ift-nace to organized society, and a threat against all law and order. Ir.tendeijt BlackWell has offered a reward of a '! N r hundred dollars for proof to convict the person who aided * ii- in l li ttv.s escape, J>ir jjiuckwcu js morally certain of the identity of the man, but wants such evidence of his ?uilt as will cause any decent jury to send the criminal behind the bars through which he cannot break. Should this turn out a bad crop year the farmers will be ii debt again, judging irom tne general extravagances indulged in on all sides. New horses and mules and buggies; new clothes for self and wife; .';and children; finer grocerjj&*?and fruits and candies?all' tjt\jese I L v ' make big- bills and bills that will rise up next fall to confront those who now make them ! with careless tfract. In the days of prosperity it were well to remember that rains must follow the sunshine as the nijrht follows the day. Kconomy is the only safe way for finite man. What you made i brought hijfh prices?yes?and i what you have to buy demands ' hi^h prices, too. Cotton at 14 and 15 cents is doin,^ pretty ; well, but how about bacon at 10 and 17 cents when you come 1 to buy? There are two distinct sides to the picture. In our U*ontemr>lation of one. we will act foolishly, should we forget the other. It is seriously doubted it there is a handsomer drug store in the country than that of the Courtney Drug Company on Main I street. It is worth seeing. One of the bachelor magisi ;rates of our county is much exercised to know whether or ! not the bill providing for a ! marriage license really passed the Legislature. This correspondent cannot answer the question for a surety, but he is anxious to relieve the terrible anxiety of the aforesaid magistrate, and with that end in view, appeals to the members of the House for the desired information. If any one of you can give the information definitely, you will confer a great favor on a fellow man. Address, 'Magistrate, Kingstree, S C.??

RE-ORGANIZED. 1 Floiirisfiina Lodge at Andrews?Business and Social MeetingsAndrews, February 2G:?The \V C T V of tliis place was re-organized in January by Mrs Helen N bullock,State organizer; since then the union lias done very . yood work. There are about . thirty members enrolled at present. amonir whom are numbered several gentlemen, and we hope to add other names from time to time. The business meetings have been well attended and the ; social meeting, which was held ! at the home of Mrs X W Cooke, i the president, on last Friday afternoon, from 3 to 5 o'clock,was quite a success. Eev Mr lledenbaugh favored us with quite an interesting and helpful talk, as did also Mrs Hudson. During the afternoon several temperance songs were sung,after which hot chocolate and cake was served by the ho>tess. An "L T L" has also been organized. They will hold their first meeting thisiafternoon. We hope that much good will result , from the efforts which are being put forth by the floyal members of these unions. Good Templar. Death of a Child. Little Frances, the infant daughter of Mr and Mrs Wightman Epps, died at its parents' home near town Thursday night and was buried at the Williams burg cemetery Saturday morning ' at 11 o'clock, Rev W A Fairy conducting the services. The little one?an only child?gladdened its parents' hearts only | for about fourteen months,?a j feather plupked from the wing t of love and cast into the lap of maternity to linger only for a brief, transitory season and then be wafted away into eternity. Such a bereavement leaves an aching void in the hearts around ; which ' the little tendrils of love [had twined themselves, making j bright the household and giving | promise of many gladsome years i of winsome child-hood and worn; an hood. | But the fragile little life lanj guished away and at the end of ja fortnight the silver cord was j loosed, the golden bowl broken, j and the spirit passed from mori tal clay into life everlasting. To the hearts burdened with 1 grief we extend* tenderest sym, pathy, reminding them in their sore affliction tliat "wnotn iToa i loveth lie chasteneth." . Bit by Billy PossumMr P S Courtney is suffering j from an injury quite out jof the orjdiuary. A few days ago he bought a live opossum and was taking it home in a crocus sack. On the I way homeward the "varmint" bit through the libre ,of the vehicle of ' transportation and fastene I his fangs i in Mr Courtney's fingers, lacerating j them severely^ Hereafter when lie buys a 'possum ! in a bag Mr "P S" will probably stipulate terms "C.

This is all bosli. The editor has something like a million different thing? to think of in connection with the issue of one paper, and it is not surprising if^he misses an item occasionally or j sometimes forgtts one which has J been called lo his attention. Nine out of ten people you ask news items will tell you they don't think of any. But in most cases they expect the editor to think of them all, and criticise him if he fails in a single item.
