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.

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.

new man of me,so that I can now do
good work again." For all lung dis

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now g
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh, being a constitutional dis- *
ease, requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the j
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease,and giving
the patient strength by building up n
the constitution and assisting nature | c
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.
