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

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

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

will rise up next fall to confront
those who now make them

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,

Cyclones move in circles and

So also do mental perturbations
move when "Cousin Tom" is

slowly does time pass.

' fair young ortde, is here on a

by his relatives and friends
at his old home on his good fortune
in winning so lovely a com;
panion.
Mr and Mrs McGill have visited
Jacksonville, Fla, Florence
and Kingstree on their wedding

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.

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. O. I)." in negotiating
the trade for the untamed
| marsupial.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the

treatment, pronounced it incurable. ;
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatmen
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F J Cheney & Co,Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoouful.
It acts directly on the blood and mu- ,
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer cne hundred dollars for any ,
case it fails to cure. Send for cir- '

Give the Editor His DueThe
editor of a newspaper is often i
accused of leaving o?t certain items |
purposely, because of a dislike of the
person to be mentioned, or from prejudice,
or some other cause. 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. The best way to give the editor
credit for what heroes find
and mention, and for s<We things
he finds and doesn't mention.?Rock
