-AN UNCLASSIFIED NUISANCE.
Lake City, May 30:?Mr W D
Ratchford of Sharon, a young man
who is preparing for the ministry
and is now taking a course in theol_
ogy at the Presbyterian Seminary,
9k Columbia, preached at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday. He has
been called to serve this church durjflf
ing vacation. It is more than prob
r&ble that he will accept, if Indiantown
will write for half his time.
Mrs Maria Sutcliffe is in Charleston
this week.
Mr Otto Graham and his sister,
Miss Lottie, are at home for the vacation
days. The former is a teacher
in the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute
and the latter a student in
the same school.
Dr A H Williams was in Charleston
the early part of the week on
business.
I The dwelling house on the farm
^ of MrvW T Askins.about half a mile
from town, was burned Saturday
afternoon. The house was occupied by
Mr M P Brown and family, and they
lost everything the house contained
except a little bedding and the organ.
The loss of the house falls on Mr
Askins. Nothing was insured. The
^ crop near near the house was also
destroyed. The fire is supposed to
have been caused by a defect in
one of the chimneys. An examination
after the fire revealed a large
|H " hole in the funnel at a joist. The
Hp sorry mason who built the chimney
rested one end of a layer of brick
f on this joist. When the chimney
'? settled, a hole right under that
layer resulted, and when some trash
* was burned in the chimney Saturday
that hole got in its work, destroyed

Sunday afternoon Horace Godwin, j
' son of Mrs "Scrap" Godwin of High !
Hill, was drowned in Lynch's river :
at Bass's Bridge. Above the bridge
! is a sand bar which extends across
the river at its upper part, but on
the lower side the bar sheers off abruptly
into a deep hole against the
western bank. Messrs F E and Arj
ris Poston had their boys in wading
across the upper part of the bar,and
did not know until later that anyone
else was in the river. However,
Horace Godwin and a son of Mr
John Tilton were* in the river, and
in some way unexplained got into
that hole. The Tilton boy holloed
and Mr F E Poston rushed to him
and pulled him out, but still did not
know anyone else was in the hole.
As soon as Tilton could speak he;
told Mr Poston that Horace was in 1
the hole too. Mr Poston searched |
carefully but Horace had gone down 1
to rise no more. The body was re- j
covered late in the afternoon, and j
buried Monday afternoon at High
Hill church. He was about fifteen
years old. That hole has been known
by the entire community for years j
and years as very dangerous. Sev- j
eral persons have been drowned in j
