WHAT'S DOING IN LAKE CITY. PLAYING BALL-FISH LAW BOLDLY FLOUTED- -TRUCK FARMING THAT PAYS. Lake City, June 28:?Mr L 0 Holloway went to Durham, N C, the early part of last week, taking his little daughter, Hazel, with him. Hazel was taken very ill after their arrival at Durham, and her mother, i Mrs Holloway, went on Thursday. NAt this writing it is not known here whether the child has recovered or not. / Mr E J Rickenbaker is visiting relatives in town. Mr Rickenbaker, who is a teacher, had charge of a school in North Carolina last session. *. ' "U-r .1 T. Stnrkpv naid a visit to " " ? " * iV.. Sumter last week. He made the return trip through the country in a buggy. Observation of the crops along the way leads him to conclude that this section has better prospects than some other parts of the country. For instance, from Sumter to Mayesville, the crops are very poor. Between the latter place and Lynchburg they are somewhat better, and from Lynchburg to Lake City the improvement increases all along in the direction of the last named place. Mr J M Parker was in town from Scranton Sunday afternoon. There were three games of ball Thursday and Friday last, between Lake City and Lamar on the local diamond. One game wa3 played the first day and two the second. Lamar was clearly outclassed, the scores running an average of about five to one in favor of Lake City. Mr D B Knight favored us with a crate of peaches a few days ago. These peaches were of good size, uniform and of splendid quality? equal in all respects to those found upon the city markets. Mr Knight is one of those who know and appreciate the value of a good orchard on the farm. He raises fruit enough to supply his whole family, summer -rMnd winter. As he has only thirteen children and a bunch of grandchildren only a small orchard is re. quired. BL One day last week bream, trout and jacks were sold here publicly in B broad daylight upon our streets. H As is well known, or ought to be B known, at least, this was a flagrant H violation to the law. We underB stand that a barrel of these fish W came here from San tee. The law J prohibiting the sale of game fishes was published in full in The County Record and the only excuse that nffarad tKic hr#7Pn VIA VOJi IA- VliVl VU * V* V411W ? aw k lation is indifference. Indifference P to what? Indifference to law [ and order and to the welfare of others. Will our people never lea:.*n the duty of citizens -or the ob( ligations that rest upon right thinking men? Is the dollar the only standard of morality or success? i The goddess of "Getting On" is rapidly becoming the supreme deity of this country, and the religious creed is "make money?honestly if you can, but make money, nothing L else counts." This may seem a m severe indictment to some of the | "old fogies," whose ideals are high1 er than the dollar, but the charge is W the proper one and the proof is conclusive to all right thinking people. Miss Pansy Jones is at home from Richmond, Va, on a visit. Misses Frances and Florence Fass of Dillon are visiting Misses Mollie and Leah Nachman. Mr and Mrs J M Truluck went to Sullivan's Island Sundav and will be away several days. Misses Eloise and Julia Sturgeon ? fiave returned from a few day's sojourn at the Isle of Palms. Mr A M Parker, Jr, is in Charleston. Up to the 23nd instant Mr L A ^Winston had shipped eleven hundred bushels of cucumbers from five acres. And what is better thanthat.he had not sold a basket for less than a dollar. Suppose the net returns were only forty cents. This would be $80.00 per acre and the money received in the spring and time enough to make another crop on the same land. Then, too, in raising cucum- < bers two desirable objects are ac- 1 complished?money is mane and the i Yankees are given the stomach ache- 1 Every few days there is a run- | away in town. Whenever this hap- 11 pens somebody's life or limbs are j more or less endangered, and the ' J thing is likely to result in very se-! rious damage any time. To make ' ] the matter worse, only one of out a 1 dozen runaways was caused by any- 1 thing but carelessness, and in most cases such carelessness as amounted 1 to a reckless disregard of lives and J property. Unless the thing is stopped, some day somebody will find ? his child's brains strewn along the i road or the lifeless body of his wife 1 in the dirt where it was tramped by the hoof of a horse or mule that 1 belonged to a man who ought to i be locked up as a common criminal. \ It is all right to regulate automo- i biles. They ought to be regulated, 1 but horses and mules ought to be regulated also. W L B BIG GUN PRACTICE. Williamsburg Soldier Boy Describes Their Handling on Drill. Editor County Record:? j By request, if you will allow me space in your valuable paper, in a feeble way I will endeavor to give your readers a brief sketch of the j drill we have on the 10-inch guns. ( Tr, Inorl ond firp thp sprvico nf , the piece at drill is conducted habitually as though a shot had just been fired. Before the command, "load," or "commence firing", is given, the cannoneers are posted in the posi-. tions they would occupy immediately after firing. No 3 well back to the right and rear of the truck, with the lanyard extended,the chief of breech detail about four feet in rear of the breech. The truck at the loading position; Nos 1, 4 and 9 on the right of the rammers, Nos 2 and 10 on the left,Nos 9 and 10 take hold as far to the rear as possible without interfering with each other; Nos 3 and 4 take hold about the center; No 1 i takes hold about four feet from the I head,so as to guide it against the base of the projectile. At the command, "load", or "commence firing", the breech is opened ana z wipes any resiaue from the breech recess and then i takes his place on the rammer, just in front of No 10; Nos 11 and 12 run up the trucks; as it passes the rammer detail, the head of the i rammer is placed against the base of < the projectile by No. l,and the men 1 on the rammer follow the truck, all < taking a firm hold on the staff and i with both hands. As soon as the < truck brings up against the face of i j the breech, No 12 sets the brake,and i the men on the rammer run and t send the projectile home with the greatest possible force. ( The chief of the breech detail notes if the projectile is seated; if not,he commands, "home ram", and ( the men, all working together, \ heave on the rammer until the projectile is pushed home. As soon as the brake of the shot truck is set, Nos 11 and 12 step to the right and c left of ihe truck, respectively, and r each picks up a section of the pow- j der charge. As soon as the projectile 1 is seated Nos 2, 9 and 10 quit the l rammer, No 2 steps to the left of 1 the truck; Nos 9 and 10 run to the ] tripping bars and take hold of them; ready to trip; Nos 1 and 4 withdraw t the rammer until the head is near 1 tho ronr nf thp frnrk As snon fl_S i : the rammer is withdrawn No 12 j throws in tne first section of powder i charge; Nos 1 and 4 ram this section ! well into the chamber; No 12 steps back to the truck handle. -As soon as ' the rammer is withdrawn after ramming the first charge, No 11 places the second section on the truck; Nos 1 and 2 force it in by < by hand until its base barely clears ! the gas check seat; No 4 then with- s draws the rammer and carried it to ' the rear of the platform, standing < by for the next loading. Nos 11 1 and 12 remove the truck, take it back to the ammunition hoist, turn j it over to the hoist detail and take ] post at a loaded truck; During the loading No 3 coils the long lanyard j and serves the vent. As soon as the 5 truck is withdrawn the breech is i closed by Nos 1 and 2, the chief of ^ breech detail commands "in battery" as the bredeh-block is being translated,and as soon as the rotation begins he hooks the lanyard to the eye of the firing leaf and commands, "trip". No 3 steps back to the right and rear, letting the long lanyard uncoil, Nos 9 and 10 raise the tripping levers to the stop, then return ' to the rammers and take hold for the next loading. Mr Editor, I could tell you a lot more about our drill, but I am afraid this is too long now. We are going in camp next week, Tunc 90 for Anr email arm nractiw, I and are looking forward to a lively; Lime. J^t let me say to "Poor Conrad" tha' * ays enjoy his letters, also * he ' 'Sage of Possum Fork". /it., oest wishes to you, Mr Editor, and all the readers of the everivelcome County Record," Respectfully, Littleton J Dennis.
