They were uniformly nine and threequarter

from this measurement more

Daily sales of tobacco have been
going on some weeks notwithstanding
the market will not be regularly
opened until the 26th instant. Of
course only sand lugs are being sold
now. and as is well known, this is
the lowest grade of tobacco put on
the market. Up to a few years ago
it was thrown away as worthless.
Now it is sold in considerable quantities
and the prices realized here
average about five cents per pound.
Last Friday sixty thousand pounds
were marketed here,fifteen thousand
at Graveley's, sixteen thousand at
King's and nearly twenty-nine thousand
at the Star. This one day's
sales of this poor stuff put into the
pockets of the farmers $3,000, a-.d
that it was paid in cash the cashier
of the Farmers and Merchants bank
will testily.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Bank of Lake City
was held at the banking house on
the 15th instant. The board of directors,
consisting of A H Williams,
W T Askins, J B DuRant, J A Green
H V Epps and L 0 Holloway, remain
the same. The officers were
all re-elected, to wit: president, A
H Williams; vice-president, W T Askins;
cashier, Geo C Ha-elton; assistant-cashier,
C S Lucas; solicitor, W
L Bass. The net profits for the year
were above eighteen per cent, on
the entire capital stock. This would
be a satisfactory showing for any
bank, but considered in connection
with the fact that this bank has been
doing business on half its capital,the
other half having been stolen, the
showing is especially fine. The usual
dividend of eicrht ner cent, was
declared and the remainder of the
earnings was passed to the surplus
fund. For the seven years of its
existence this bank has paid to its
stockholders fifty-six per cent, of
the amount paid in and passed forty
per cent, to the surplus fund, making
the earnings ninety-six per cent.
Miss Olive DuRant has returned

Why are so many folks from this

Is it because there is such a

'enough for bathing can not be had?

Mr C S Graham presented us with
a box of Elberta peaches Saturday.
A few summers ago the writer priced
peaches at a fruit stand in Riverside
Park, Asheville, N C, and was told
that the best were five cents each
and the cheapest four for five cents,
l^pon asking where the best were
grown he received the reply,"Spring
Hill, South Carolina." Now, these
peaches Mr Grabarn gave us were
eciual to the best of those seen at
Asheville, and demonstrates what
can be done in this section. If our
! people would give their orchards
even half attention the results
1 would be astonishing. This soil and
i climate are suited especially to
peaches. Drain the%land, which is
an absolute requisite, learn to keep
1 nitrogenous fertilizers away from
I the trees and manure with potash
only, and learn to get rid of noxious
; worms, and to keep only young
. trees and set these close together,
and you have made a start in the
right direction. When the start is
made, be sure to keep on. Remember
that brains is the thing needed
in any business and that brains it is
that tells.
Mr J C Murchison of the Charleston
division of the Coast Line, spent
a portion of last Monday in town
and while here promised Intendant
Blackwell that a force would be
here within ten days to take up all
side tracks on Main street. This
promise was made only after weeks
of effort to avoid making the change.
It seems strange the Coast Line people
should hesitate to do a small
thing for Lake City, which has done
so much for the company and asked
so little.

Crowds Attend Farmers' Meeting
Crops Abandoned-Personal.
Andrews,July 18:?Quite a crowd
from here will attend the Farmers'
J day exercises in Georgetown to?day.
: Th# Georgetown & Western road has j
offered the round trip at one fare,
' making a very low rate. The writer
I has always advocated farmers gath-,
: ering and exchanging ideas with addresses
from speakers of practical j
experience in the subjects thev dis- I
cuss,such as better methods of farm-1
inz and drainage. I am always glad
to see our people turn out at suc'i
meetings. We never live to learn it
all. Watch Georgetown county
come to the front in farming: look
out, Williamsburg, your sister county
will pass you in farming methods
justasshe has done with public roads.
Quite a number of our people in
+ nn,l Also
uic cuiu va^ ocviiuiio
have given up their crops and gone
to lumber mills in different parts of
Georgia to work for wages, their
crops being total failures. In some
sections of this low country it is cer- 1
tainiy a serious outlook and the .
farmer and merchant alike will find
it hard this fall to meet their obligations.
Messrs W A Moore and R M Haselden
have the best corn I have noticed
in the Moody section.
Mr G G Davis of Andrews return- '
ed last Saturday afternoon with his :
fair bride from Buffalo, New York. 1
They will make their future home in
