There are no kicks on Kingstree's

to please.
We sympathize with Mr and Mrs
F W Fairey in the severe illness of
their oldest daughter, little Elizabeth.
and hope that she may soon be
restored to health.
All the ministers of the town are
welcome to space to publish their
appointments for the four town
churches. We haven't space for the

The biggest sale of tobacco that
has taken place here this season, if
not the record sale for this market,
occurred Tuesday. Tobacco is rolling
in now and buyer and seller alike
are happy.
Lake City's enterprising tobacco
warehouse. Gravely's, makes a

Money is scarce but our expenses

If you owe us anything it would

don't collect that much money.
The negro boy, Zeke McKnight,
who lived on Mr R S Bell's place
near Indiantown postomce, wnose
! skull was fractured by a kick from
a mule on August 12, died from the
effect of the injury after lingering
four days in extreme pain. The boy
is said to have been about twelve
! years old.

I In giving credit to the railroad
' company for the land-scape gardening
effect near the station we were
in error. The picturesque grass-plat
with the neat iron fence is the work
of the ladies of the Civic League,
we are informed, and not of the
railroad people, though the latter
might have been expected to thus
improve their property at their own
expense.
Jimmie Davis, a small negro boy,
about twelve years old, is in jail
charged with assault and battery
with intent to kill. Aided and abetted
by a number of his young companions
yesterday, he beat another
coiored boy from the country so severely
that the latter's life is in
danger. Chief Anderson is rounding
up the accessories to this serious
affair this morning.
In a personal letter Rev E E Ervin
writes the editor that he expects
to be able to occupy his pulpit
*t Kingstree on the first Sunday in
September's proximo. Our friend lias
teen quite sick in the infirmary at
Asheville, but, in common with his
many other friends, we are pleased
to know that his chances are iavorable
for gradual recovery, or, at
least, partial restoration to health.
Largely through the efforts and
untiring energy of Mrs Ellen Foxworth
there has been erected a
.. hindsome Presbyterian church building
near Bethesda Methodist church.
The congregation is few in number
but they responded nobly to the
1 cause and the building stands as a
monument to their unselfish devotion.
The edifice is spacious and;
sightly, being recently painted, and |
makes a pretty appearance indeed
There will be a State Farmers'
Institute, or Congress, at Clemson
College August 31 to September 1:
j The railroads have been asked to
( give special rates and rooms and
j beds will be furnished free by the
j coliege; all that is asked is for each
J visitor to bring his own pillow cases, j
soeets and a light blanket. Meals at
: the mess hall will be furnished at (
1 three for $1.00. We are requested to
extend a cordial invitation to the
I farmers of Williamsburg and all
[others who may desire to attend
! this congress.
We advise our tobacco growing
friends to market all their tobacco I
at a warehouse and give all the i
buyers a chance to bid. If the price
j; i
doesn t suit, or you are uissausueu,
you have the privilege of turning the
tag and getting a higher price, if
possible. If this policy be adopted by
the planters there would be very active
sales at all our warehouses and
thousands of dollars that have been
going into the pockets of the "pin-1
hookers." who have bought your to- j
bacco without competition, will go
where it rightly belongs, into the
farmers' pockets. Cut out the glib
tongued buyer who has you at his
mercy.

The Useful Crocodile Fish.
In the rivers and lakes of the Mext*

which Is most useful to man.
The skin of the crocodile fish. If

of tbe purposes for which tbe lighter

oil of tbe crocodile fish Is a perfect lubricant
and also used for softeulng
leather. In addition to Its qualities as
a lubricant and eujolieut. tbe oil possesses
medicinal qualities for which a
superiority to the finest of Norwegian
cod liver Is claimed. Tbe fiesb of tbe
crocodile fisb is exreusively used by
tbe natives as food and highly relished
