NEWS OF LAKE CITY { AND VICINITY. t i EDITOR STOKES UNDERGOES OPERATION -COOL NIGHTS MAKE TRUCKERS BLUE?PERSONAL. ^ Lake City,April 25: ?Dr A H Wil-4* liams attended the annual meeting of the South Carolina Bankers' association at Summerville last week. E L Hirsch. E-q. was in town Monday from Kingstree. He was here on professional business. Mr J H V Gaskins has our very hearty thanks for some nice, tresh snap beans and cucumbers. Candor, however, compels us to state that they were not grown in this section but in Southern Florida. Mr Ashton Williams was at home from the State University a few days recently. Mr L G Atkinson has purchased the lot just south of the Knights of Pythias building. This lot is now occupied by Mr Whilden's blacksmith shop. It is thought that a brick building will go up on this lot before long. Dr W S Stokes went to an infirm-? ary in Florence some days ago to have an operation performed upon himself. The Doctor has not been in * good health for some time. I Mr and Mrs Robert H Singletary of Bishopville called on some friends here last Saturday. The continued cool and dry weather is causing the truckers to look somewhat "blue." Beans and other money crops are scarcely growing at all, a week's change being barely discernible. Unless there be a change, and that right away,these crops will certainly be short. ".Tud$re" J A Green and "Pri vates" S W Gowdy and 0 S Baldwin, three old veterans, are planning to attend the Reunion of Confederate Veterans at Little Rock,Ark,in May. When folks find the old hens too slow and uncertain they usually re^ sort to incubators. On the contrary, I a certain energetic lady of our comA munity decided that she would skip H the entire hatching process, as a B waste of time. She, therefore, lifted the curtain of her brooder, filled the rear with eggs and fired up. The idea seemed to be to hatch the eggs in twenty-four hours instead of the tedious and utterly useless wait of three weeks, and to have frying-size chickens in three days. Result: "busted" boiler and roasted eggs in four hours. And then the children ate eggs, roasted eggs, and then ate more roasted eggs and then some more. If they found any bones, the matter has not been reported at the hour of going to press. rrl1? TTnirm fiinnino- nnH A uc X' ai uivio u iituu _ Manufacturing Company, of which mention was made last week, was fc duly organized and will have its D0 charter by the time this note ap^ * pears. The entire capital stock was ? subscribed immediately the books of .subscription were opened, and there were calls for more. The matter of increasing the capital stock is already being earnestly discussed, and the consensus of opinion seems to be that the amount will be trebled. This will give sufficient money with which to put in first-class machinery and to do business on the large scale. Some folks used to think that what was being claimed about the ^^growth of Lake City was exaggera^tion. Wonder what they have to say now that the official figures of the census show that the increase during tthe last ten years has been very nearly three hundred per cent? Florice and Timmonsville have been ?g flowing much because they have gg about doubled. This is good, but it is not even in sight of Lake City's recg ord. Also bear this in mind: Lake City's people are white people. Not a foot of land is owned by a negro, and only about one hundred negroes live in town. W L B. When you want us to change the address of your paper it will save lots of trouble to name the old as well as the new postoffice. Please bear this in mind. tf HOMICIDE AT ANDREWS. Negro Shoots Another, Apparently without Provocation. Andrews, April 24: ? Tuesday night, the 18th inst, at a "pay supper" given in town by a negro, Geo Wineglass, one Jake Rush shot and killed another negro by the name of Moyd, The deed was committed as Moyd was leaving the frolic, it seems without any provocation. Five or six negro witnesses say that Moyd,the victim, was walking about ten feet ahead of Rush with a negro woman, both talking and laughing. Rush Dulled out a loaded shell, struck a match and looked at the shell to see the size of its shot and said: "I'll stop your fuss." With that remark he shot Moyd at a range of about ten feet. The negro fell in his tracks and died the next day. Rush has been arrested, given a preliminary hearing and lodged in Georgetown jail to await the June term of the criminal court. This is the second murder committed here within three months. Just a few months ago one negro deliberately took a pole and knocked another in the head in the A C L Corporation's shops. His case was continued last court. Let the writer predict that neither of these murderers will be hung. Georgetown county doesn't molest a negro,as the writer knows from personal experience. Our town officers are somewhat to blame for these negro frolics and "pay suppers." When the writer held the position of intendant we fixed a license of five dollars for every supper given. By this mean? we kept them down. But it seems that our present officers believe in taxing and putting licenses on our business men and letting all such turbulent gatherings go unnoticed. Our town taxes have become a burden to all. I hope the local officers will awake to their duty and see that all such nuisances are taxed, or fines put upon them, and that they will finally be discontinued in our town. If more attention were given to those nuisances and less to taking up our stock, our town would do much better. No one knows the yoke of injustice that our people along the line of Williamsburg county have to bear. We pay eighty mills on stock for the privilege of their running at large, yet just as one enters the woods he is shut up and we have to pay from one dollar up per head and still have our stock tax to pay. This is very unjust. I think our Solicitor ought to investigate this matter. The law is certainly violated here in some way. I fear this condition will lead to blood-shed or the destruction of property be fore it is ended. The people will eventually rise up in defense of their rights.

Subscriber. Midnight In the Ozarks and yet sleepless, Hiram Scranton of Clay City, 111, coughed and coughed.
