Lake City, July 12:?Mrs Rosa Fass of Dillon is visiting at Mr H Nachman's. Mrs L G Atkinson went to Wadesboro, N C, last Saturday morning. Magistrate 0 S Baldwin is away on a stay of two weeks in North Carolina. By special request we withhold the name of the particular place and the particular person vis- , ited. The Williamsburg County Farmers' Union met with the Lake City 1 " Union in quarterly session last < Thursday. The meeting was held in the Knights of Pythias hall and was j well attended, most of the various local unions of the county represent- j ed. President J D Daniel presided, j Mr La Fayette Moulds, whose ' home for the last* nine years has 1 been in Sumter county, Florida, vis- 1 t ited his old home last week and his ' friends and kinfolks were glad to J W T"fc? _1 ] 1 v see him. we is a son 01 rar xucnaru * Moulds, who lives a couple of miles 1 from this town. Mr Moulds re- * turned home Tuesday. * The Civic League gave an enter"tainment last Friday night at which ' cool drinks of all kinds were served, 1 and t hose present were entertained with good music. The proceeds of 11 sale of the drinks will be expended ! 1 by the league. j ] Mr G C Huggins has gone to i1 Johnsonville for a stay of a few ( days. One of the quietest and mildest ( tempered young men in town, one ' who folks rather thought could not 1 | | be aroused to the pitch of resentment, a few days ago proved the truth of the old saying that a sleep- ' ing lion is the dangerous lion. He J stocd the cursing and vile language s of a drunken man as long as he j * could, and then?to say that he beat ( the fellow but weakly conveys an 1 idea of what really took place. m Nothing short of figurative language I will describe it. The widely stated < fact is that he simply beat the stuff- , ing out of the drunk. He worked like a threshing machine and every lick was like a cyclone to the fellow on the ground, and not until he I _ wmmmmsmm m '1 Al if for Men, Womei J but a bona fide r?1 "t* ri* 3i FRUI' s Improved 1 the old reliable kind, heavy \ ars are made of a good quaUl i half-gallon sizes.

It is safe to say that no matter how drunk he may be this fellow will never again try such language in the presence of the "pile driver" that worked on his head on this occasion. Miss Lula Hucks of Conway is visiting in town. The store of Mr J LC Moore was broken into ana roDoea rnaay night last. It is not known at what hour the robbery took place and it was not discovered until the store was opened up Saturday morning. Entrance was effected by breaking the glass of the rear door. The cool and deliberate scoundrel carried some fifteen pairs of shoes to the rear door where there was a light, and selecting the most up-todate pair in the lot, put them on. The old ones were left in a nearby jutter. He also picked out a suit uf clothes and hunted up. a pair of scissors and cut the tags off. The jewelry case was ransacked. Gloves, hosiery and underclothing were also ippropriated. Two dress suit cases were also taken, which very probaby went off full. It is impossible to ?y just what was stolen, as the obber did not leave an inventory. Sfforts were made to secure bloodlounds from Kingstree and Florence >ut without avail. Misses Lillie McElveen and Dellie HcClam have returned home after i month's stay at Glenn Springs. Last week the weeds in town were sprinkled with "holy water," tience an extra growth may be expected which will make excellent hrppriinc nlaees for mosauitoes and K>ol retreats for flies. It will be of interest to her host of friends to learn that Miss Hazel Gilbert is taking the course for trained nurse at the Roper hospital, Charleston. "Chinches" are bad, oh my, but they are not in it at all with flies and mosquitoes, when it comes to spreading disease and death. Chinches indicate a poor house-keeper. How about flies and mosquitoes? They prove a reckless, selfish md criminally negligent landlord. Mr and Mrs Clarence W Stuckey of Valdosta, Ga, are visiting at Mr J L Stuckey's on Valley street.

Local Plant May Be Rehabilitated or Fertilizer Factory Erected. Under the ciceronage of Mr L P Kinder,the popular local representative of the Southern Cotton Oil com- ' pany, a party of prominent oil mill ' officials went over the oil mill prop- ! erty here, making a careful inspec- ' tion of the buildings and equipment, 1 with a view to making the South At- 1 lantic Oil company?who own the ' property and are letting it go to < pieces?a final proposition with a ] view to purchasing it and putting ' the plant in first class condition. Another object in view was the possibility of erecting a fertilizer 1 factory here. The latter project, if 1 carried out, means more to the ir.- 5 dustrial advantage of the town than 11 the oil mill, or, at least, that is our ^ information. 1 Which of the two enterprises wi 1 I maforialiTo?if pithor will hp opt 'I < tied in a few days, the decision of 1 the executive officers in Columbia I being largely influenced by the report , of the men who inspected the proj -1\ erty here Tuesday. The oil mill party included the following: A M Wither, 3essi is, Columbia; L W Whiting, Charleston, and W Gaillard. t Whether or not our town secures ' one or both of these enterprises, a ( first class modern cotton ginnery is ( needed most of all. The time is short, 1 now before the cotton season will be i here and there is no time to lose. ; j What say you, gentlemen, the business men of Kingstree? W. O. W.

NEWS TO TOBACCO GROWERS Message to Farmers Wko Sell oa Kingstree Market. In a letter to The Record Col J G Slaughter, one of the enterprising lessees of the Banner Warehouse, states that he will be here in a few days to look after the interest of the tobacco growers. Col Slaughter adds that he comes loaded with a big bunch of nice orders, which will ?nahl#? him tn onioronfoa fKo kitrKoaf market price for every pound of tobacco sold on the floor of the Banner Warehouse. Col Slaughter has worked hard and spent money freely to help establish a tobacco njarket in Kingstree, as well as to build it up bigger and better, and he says he wants Kingstree to show up this season lot less than the third market in the State, and that if the farmers will stick to Kingstree he feels safe in :he assurance that it will rank not ower than third in the final report. All of which is a consummation de/outty to be hoped. Death of Mr. S. J. Cameron Scranton, July 13:?Mr S J Camiron died at his home in this town Tuesday afternoon after a protractid illness.
