PROBABLY FATAL AFFRAY AT ANDREWS, BOTH COMBATANTS BADLY HURT -CROPS NEARLY RUINED?HAIL STORM AT POTATO FERRY. Andrews, June 19:- Considerable excitement was caused here Saturday night by an affray between two prominent young men. Messrs R G Wilkerson and Sam Cox. both holding responsible positions with the Atlantic Coast Lumber corporation. Mr Wilkerson is terribly lacerated i ?1- ? zc.. Pay ! Willi a Mint" Ol 1 CX/.KH , v* i11iv .-u lies at the point of death with a pistol hall wound in his breast, just helow the nipple on the left side. We understan i that there is hut little hope for the recovery of Mr Cox. and Mr Wiikers. n is also in a serious condition. The writer is not conversant with the circumstances leading to the trouble. The affair h greatly deplored in the community. Mr Wilkerson is highly resjiected by all who know him. He has a wife and two children. Mr Cox is a young man from the Sampit section and is not married. Up to this time this is the driest spell our oldest people ever saw in this county. Corn is now dying in the fields; the vegetation of the woods is dead in spots, and the stock famishing for water. It is something very serious. The farmers feel that they have lost their crops. No rain here for nearly ten months, although rains have fallen in nearlv all sections except this place and a small adjacent territory. v Last Saturday afternoon a hailj storm passed through the Potato [ Ferry neighborhood and wrought considerable damage to timber and crops generally,completely demolishing the old Potato Ferry Baptist church. The hail beat the cotton into, the ground, but it struck only a small section of farms. Some of the! boys from town were in or near the river fishing during the storm and they tell a thrilling tale about the , wind and hail. The negro, Jake Rush, who some < - ** ? 1 Ml J 1 weeks ago wilfully shot ana Kiuea i another negro in our town,was tried j last week in Georgetown county and I sentenced to five years on the chaingang. What a farce of dealing out the law! This negro Rush killed a 1 man without any cause whatever and 1 it was so proven in the court. Had j he been a white man on trial he j would have had to dodge for his life. < No wonder the negroes are killing * each other. Georgetown had five or j six murder trials at this court and that was a small docket. Watch the murders increase. This writer has made mention of this fact several ] times. j Enclosed find a cotton bloom pick- i ed from my general crop. There are 1 blooms in the field that have dropped j which appear to be a week old. I 1 send this one because I have not seen t any mention made in your columns i of a bloom. This one was picked to-j i day, the liUh inst. t SrBSt'KirKR. First Cotton Bloom. Editor County Record: . I am sending you two cotton < blooms, one white and one red.

Following is a special from Lexington dated Juno 11: "J K Jeter, who is said to have been the first man to receive Executive clemency from Governor Blease, soon after his inauguratijfo, was yesterday placed behind thenars of the Lexington jail by Sheriff H P Corley, with the charge of larceny restingagainst him, it having been alleged that he stole a lot of jewelry from his sister. Mrs Eva Hodge, and some articles from his aged mother, both of whom are residents of Swansea. this county. "We greatly fear that this is but the first of a number of stories along this line that will be printed in the papers. Blease .since he became Governor of the State.has released from the penitentiary walls many confirmed criminals and is it not to be exacted tiiat they will soon commit some crime that will place them I. u:_ J < U.. \Va nnt -.JV I uacl\.

We suppose there have been some few cases where pardons were deserved, but in the larger number of them they were not. The Jeter case is but one example. The actior. of Blease in freeing some of these prisoners may mean the taking of the lives of some good citizens." His Hirsute Curtailment Paid. East Aurora. N Y, June 20:?On a bet of $500 with William Marion Reedy of St Louis, Elbert Hubbard,! the sage of East Aurora and head of the Roycroft colony, yesterday invaded the village barbershop and the local hair destroyer applied the clippers. Reedy recenth came to East Aurora. During an argument in which Hubbard's unconventional methods and mannerisms were the subject of discussion. Reedy wagered the longhaired writer that he lacked the nerve to clip off his locks. Hubbard took the bet and the money was placed in the hands of United States Senator Owen, then visiting the Roycroft inn. Then, accompanied by a crowd of Roycroft- j ?rs and other admirers, Fra Elbertus t>etook himself to the barber' shop j The Woman's Tonic j Mrs. Lula Walden, of I Gramlin, S.

Kidney Troubles May Be Sapping Your Life Away. Kingstree People Have Learned this Fact. When a healthy man or woman _>egins to run down without apparent cause, becomes weak, languid, depressed, suffers backache, head iche, dizzy spells and urinary trouoles, kidney weakness may the cause of it all. Keep the kidneys well and they will keep you well. Doan's Kidney Pills make sick kidneys well. Tan Kingstree readers demand further proof than the following statement: Mrs H Rembert, 312 Cleland St, Georgetown, S C, says: "About a year ago I had kidney complaint and I suffered severely from dull,nagging backaches, headaches and dizzy spells, i did not rest well and mornings had no strength or energy. Reading of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box and it did not take! them li?rr.r to relieve me. I have; had m? -backfuv.e ?>r other trouble! from r.iy kidne.. s since." For saio by ail dealers.
