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. I i
could have sent you one on June 12, t
but thought you would have had sev-, t
eral on hand. I have a lot of them r
in my field now.
Yours truly,

THE QUALITY OF MERCY |
Appears to Have Been Strained
in Gov. Blease's First Pardon.
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\. UCIWIIli lilt' liat^. lit v?vy U\J\. -.t.j
that all of the men whom he has
turned loose are confirmed criminals.
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

WHY SO WEAK?
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!
