A VARIETY OF NEWS ! FROM LAKE CITY.1 L ! FREQUENT FISTICUFFS ? PA T FLEW THE COOP-SCHOOL BEGINS MONDAY. [ 1 ako Cry. September 18: ?Another tight last week between white . 1 men. This is only keeping up the I record. An average of at least one ; tight a week has been maintained " since June 1">. The number has ^ pone :is hicrh as three a day. but the ? above is ab >ut the average. Actual count might place a higher figure ? r ^rtainlv not a lower. Whiskev has * Wen the leading factor in two-thirds of these bt uts. while pure "cussedness" caused almost all the others. We are glad to say that in nearly ( every instance the man at fault got the "licking." It goes without saying fh \ these slugging matches are to W regretted. Thev create the impression that we are a violent and brutal peo le, and it is idle nonsense to shut our ears to the fact that this j town has an unenviable reputati< n < for violence, which is hurtful to he J community. U Henrv E Davis, Esq, of Florence ? j < spent a short whiie here on Friday < last. j ? Now and then strange things hap- j * pen. One day last week a negro ( * boy actually went to a house in town j * and asked for a job. And he was J * in earnest, t?>o. Asking a negro in this town to work seems to be re > garded almost in the nature of an insult, and to have one solicit work j has been unheard of many a day. There are no empty stores in this town. On the contrary the demand cannot be supplied. So insistent is the demand for quarters that an ex beef market has recently been cleaned up and converted into a mil* linery store. F L Will cox, Esq, of Florence was noted in town one day last wfeek. Messrs I) M and H V Epps went to Sumter Monday night to attend the "old horse" sale of the Southern Express company Tuesday. Mrs Geo C Haselton went to Charleston Saturday on a visit of a few days. Mrs J M Sturgeon is in Charleston. v . "Pat,"who had been building side^w&lks, went to Florence a few days ago. He was furnished with so many orders for pints and quarts to Vv?-ir>or anri thp mnriPV with which to pay for the pints and quarts, that he concluded that he did not need to build any more sidewalks right away. So he did not come back, and neither the pints and quarts nor the money have aj ; peared yet. The boys who met the Orangeburg train the evening Pat was expected back went away in most angelic frames <>f mind. Pockets empty and stomachs, too. Mr Robert Hudson of Charlotte, N C, is visiting his mother, Mrs S K Rodgers. Mr and Mrs E J Wilkes and son. Dewey, of Mullins spent last week visiting at Mr M L Webster's, on Kdy street. Mr and Mrs Henry A Hickson have moved to Lynchburg. Mr P Z McKenzie has purchased the Hi* kj j; son residence on Main street and *' will move in from the country in a S The graded and high schools will r open on the 19th instant. With the election last week of Miss Maud Simpson of New Westminister the If, faculty has been completed and ' numbers eight regular teachers. Mr T Cook Covington of Ben* nettsville spers' a few days of last week in town visiting. Governor Ansel, upon the recommendation of the county delegation, has appointed the following commissioners of election for Williamsburg county: State and county offices, Messrs N I) Lesesne, W E Hanna and J L Gowdy; Federal offices, Messrs J J Morris, C M Hinds and -N? 1 \XT T D j w r.aaay. ?? ^ u.
