Dr and Mrs D P Frierson of; Charleston spent Easter with Mrs; Frierson's parents, Mr and Mrs Jas Epps, near town. Kingstree has some fine gardens now and the flower-yards will soon be redolent of bloom and beauty and 1 fragrant loveliness. Miss Stella Coward, who is a stu- j dent at a business college in Colum- J bia,visited her home folk here during the Easter holidays. Don't miss seeing the "Two Old Confederates," Polk Miller and Col Tom Booker, with their negro quartette, at the opera house to-night. Mr and Mrs R J Kirk attended 1 the elaborate and beautiful Easter services of the St John's church, Florence, on Sunday, the 16th in-J stant. ; I Mr E D Sallenger, the Charleston j News and Courier's traveling representative, was in town Friday of last j week looking after his paper's interests. I I Prof and Mrs Swittenberg visited J relatives in Sumter from Thursday ( until Sunday of last week and at-1 tended the services of the Lutheran church on Easter. Mr B B Epps of Bishopville visited in town and county several days la.-t week. "Burrie" is a prime favorite here and his visits are ever welcomed in Kingstree.

Strawberries, beans, peas, lettuce, cabbage and cucumbers are daily on the bill of fare in Lake City, say these town boosters. Mr 0 P Barton,our "old reliable." made his annual pilgrimage to Charleston Sunday to hear the soulinspiring Easter services in the city churches, and stayed over till Monday to revel in the opulent beauty and luxurance of Magnolia gardens. Some of the young men from town who attended the dance in Florence Monday night intend to qualify as drummers?or at least it appears so, since they brought back as a little souvenir the bass drum of the First Artillery band. We were pleased to have a call yesterday from our esteemed friend, Rev S T Russell of Bloomingvale. 11 - ? ? tmfnvo Mr Kusseii is one ui me vcitiau warriors of the church militant and has devoted the best years of his life up-holding the Banner of the Cross.

That is our extreme limit. We are able somej times to print short belated articles, but when they would throw us late i issuing the paper it is unreasonable to expect us to print them. And still another kind and thoughtful friend from Salters has paid his subscription two years ahead?to 1913. That's six dollars in three weeks from Salters; if the splendid example be followed by others the payments on that press will soon cease to disturb our dreams. We are requested to announce ' * - T I.' that the closing exercises 01 inumutown Graded school will take place Thursday evening, April 27, commencing at 8:30 o'clock. A C Hinds, Esq, of Kingstree will deliver the commencement address and a very interesting programme,consisting of music and recitations, will be rendered. The public is cordially invited. i We are informed that Messrs J G Slaughter, D J Epps and L C Montgomery have rented the KennedyMontgomery store building for a tobacco warehouse. They will add twenty feet to the building and remodel it so as to transform it into a warehouse. This means, probably, that three tobacco warehouses will be operated here this season, which ought to give us an excellent market. J McSwain Woods, Esq, of Atlanta, visited here and Lake City several days last week, combining business and pleasure. Mr Woods left Manning several years ago and opened a | law office in Atlanta. It was a pretty 1 nervy thing to do, for a young pracI titioner without a "pull" to hang 1 out his shingle in a large city, but Mr Woods tells us that his success in his adopted home has far exceeded his most sanguine expectations. A North-bound freight train was wrecked here Saturday about 2:30 p, m. The train was made up mainly of empty box cars and coal .barges. Just as it crossed Black j river trestle,at the end of the causeway this side, a "possum-belly" uni J At- - ?t ? i I aerneaui a coai car came muse miu ; dragged along the ties, causing the [ rails to spread. Three coal barges and a box car were derailed, being piled transversely across the track, and about thirty feet of the track was torn up. The wrecking train was soon on the scene and cleared the track for the afternoon passenger trains to get by only about a ,half hour late, 'i 1^1 ?j|i ?j|?

Car-! roll has been called the "Booker i Washington of South Carolina" and his address wad along similar lines to those followed by the distinguished negro educator. The address, or lecture possibly fits it better, was full of sound thought and philosophy and he drove home his argument by pointed anecdotes. His advice to the negroes seemed not wholly acceptable to many of the colored folks present, though a number of them evidently agreed with the speaker in all that he said. In our opinion Car roll is doing good work for both 1 races and should be encouraged in I his efforts. I ? , Mrs. Emma Adair Flynn Dead, i Lake City, April 18:?On the ' , 10th of April, at her home at John- ' son, Florida, Mrs Emma Adair ' Flynn departed this life, at the age I of about eighty-five years. ' Mrs Flynn was a native of Wil- ' liamsburg county, being a daughter ' of the late Kinsey and Elizabeth ' Brown. She first married J \V ' Yause, and moved with him to! ' Florida l>efore Civil war. After the j' death of Mr Vause, she married A ' M Flynn, who preceded her to tlie ' grave. She left several children I and a host of grandchildren and ' even quite a numberof great-grand- ' children. All these, together with j' the friends, who in number would J make an army, will mourn her loss, M and mourn indeed. To all these ' she was bound by tenderest ties. I It is no exaggeration to say that "to ' j know her was to love her" with j I most lasting affection. Her nobili-jl tv of character was of the highest ' order, and'her life the lif:? of a true J Christian, oik- worthy of all that ' the name implies. She was a wo- ' i manly woman; as a mother, abso-^ | lutely devoted to her offspring aud ' i their welfare; as a neighbor, kind, j' considerate and helpful; as a wife, |' ' - _ rrv^ .4 i I loyal ami anectionaie. iu Mraugt-rsi this language may seem too highly ' i colored, hut to those who knew her ^ as friend or relative, it will express I but poorly an idea of her many vir- ^ tues. To these she is indeed "Gone: hut not forgotten"?no, not until ( they themselves have passed from mortal ken.
