Both the magnitude and the thoroughness of the preparations exceed nothing seen in this part of the \ country. Advantage of the good , weather has been thoroughly taken t* prepare the lands and get the fertilizers hauled. This method of scratching over a township with one mule and putting out guano with a teaspoon, is- rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Intensive farming is taking the place of extensive piddling. Mrs Paul Askins of Timmonsville I died Wednesday of last week. She ma Miss Amanda Cook, a daughter ?f the late. Mr M A J Cook, and was ^wrought up an her father's place, a 'M miles from this town.

When in need , KINGSTRE % ! quarter milestone last August. On; ly two children are left behind: Mr J Ed Godwin, who lived with his father, and Mrs Janie Matthew^ of Cowards. Mr Henry E Godwin is the only surviving -brother, and Misses S&rah and Alice Godwin and Mrs Vernelle Gaskins are the only sisters. The burial was at the Graham j burying ground Sunday morning, j and the funeral services were con-1 ducted by Rev W T Patrick of Scranton. The entire community turned i out to pay the last tribute of respect. ! Mr Godwin "'as an industrious, pains-taking and intelligent man, apd one of the most .successful farmers in this community. No ground was too low for him to drain, and no land was too rough for him to clear. He was a quiet, law-abiding citizen. He had his peculiarities, but is it nbt true that, as a rule, our best citizens have their idiosyncrasies? He was very firm in his convictions. Hie vi'oo nnvthinc hut a milk-and , water- nature, and deceit was unknown to him. Like all men of decision of' character and frankness of speech, there were those who did not like him; yet thele are the very qualities which characterize truest manhood: A useful life was spent, he now rests. Mrs Louis^ Baker, wife of Rev W B Baker; died at her home at Fork, S G, some days ago. All her children were with her at the end, except Mrs Pauline Hemingway; who was^kept at home by illness. Dr H L Baiter of Lambert, is her eldest son, and Mrs Itly Wilson of Rome and Mrs Walter Hemingway of Lambert are two of her daughters. Mrs Baker was well known here,where several years of her life were spent. The ''booster-meeting" ot the Civic League,held last Friday night, was a success. Quite a large crowd J was in attendance, and there were several reatures wnicn Kepi anvei the interest of all. The three arti-i cles winninjthe prizes offered some time ago, were read and the names! of the winners announced. Mrs L 10 Holloway won first prize, Mr | Jamie Williams second and Mr Hugh Stokes third. Interesting apd en-j ' livening impromptu addresses were; made by Rev W S Stokes and Intended^ J H Black well. Quite & run | was Aade in the sale of "boosterbuttons." The rain last Monday night was accompanied by hail, which came down soon after the rain began. Mr A B Cook went to Florence Monday on business.

Equalizing the Taxes?Centenarian 111?Anent the Hayes Trial. Andrews, March 13:?Mr J W Sykes was taken seriously ill last Saturday night at Lanes while waiting on the G & W train. He had eaten a small piece of cheese as a lunch and it was a little stale. He was -ery sick for several hours. Your scribe spent last Saturday at the county seat as a member of the county board of equalization. This board is making every effort in its power to equalize and regulatjj| the taxable property and see that all taxable property goes Oh the books. All township boards of assessors should see that every mail- in their | respective townships pays his quota, and especially look after dogs and poll-tax, for this tax, goes to our schools. We respectfully invite the trustees in. our townships to co-oi>erate with our board to get all dogs and poll-tax payers on the books. This is to the advantage of all school patrons. Our sole aim is to put every poll-tax payer and every dog in Anderson township, No 5, on the tax books this year. Before we give up the task, if necessary, a house-toVimi?u> mnvAss will be made.

Despite the'fact that the pumpkin in all its forma has fennel its fall est meed of popular appreciation in the United States, it is by no meant certain that the plant had its first home en this continent. Some authorities claim that it did and produce evidence to show that the aborigines of North America planted it among their maize. Others contend that it is of Am tit origin, and still others point out that pumpkiDS have been cultivated either m a curiosity or m an article of food in England since the year 1S70. Even today we have not a monopoly of pumpkin culture. The orange kued orba of joy are grown in various European coontries. notably in France, where the market gardeners in the vicinity of Paris go to the trouble of sowing their pumpkin seeds in April in a hotbed under glass and nurture tkrm?earefully until they are transplarvted in May.?Christian HenddL It is now against the law to send a weekly paper to a subscriber longer than one year on credit.

Relative to the appointment of F L Willcox,Esq', special Judge to hold court at Florence, Governor Blease, in answer to a direct question whether or not he heeded^ the supreme court's recommendation in commissioning Attorney Willcox, replied: "No, I commissioned Mr Willcox upon the appeal of W F Clayton,the chairman of the Florence County Bar association." Apropos the foregoing statement which appeared in the daily newspapers, Mr Clayton writes the Florence Times as follow^: f Editor Times:?I hear on the street that Governor Blease wired me that he would appoint Mr Willcox special Judge as a compliment to me personally, and not to the bar of Florence. This is without the slightest foundation. I have received no telegram or other communication from the Governor in regard to the matter and knew nothing of the appointment until I came down town this morning. I have never asked Governor Blease, or any other official, and never expect to, for any official favor for personal reasons. I sent the despatch at the request of the Florence bar, which despatch was as follows and speaks for itself, ??j /4aona+/>Vi T ros*pivpH nn tUJU W VIiak Ulopatvu vw.<vo ?? answer. W F Clayton. Hon Cole L Blease, Governor of the State of South Carolina, Columbia, S C. Our court of general sessions for Florence county under the law should meet here on Monday next. Judge Klugh, who in rotation should preside,is sick, and the bar of Florence, of which I am chairman, and upon my motion, has recommended for special Judge to hold this court Mr F L Willcox, a man of the highest character; a man who takes no active part in politics and a lawyer of the highest ability. There are sixteen prisoners in jail and many out on bond. Jurors and witnesses have been summoned, and if this court is not held Florence county will not only be inconvenienced but put to great expense,as with the additional .criminal cases that increase from court to court,the county will eventually have to have a specif] term before it will again get down to normal conditions. The public are the sufferers and I appeal to you as Governor to commission Mr Willcox and avoid the catastrophe that will inevitably be^Ml our judiciliiflroceedings. W F Claytoi*. ?
