$100,000 in Greenbacks Missing
When Fire Destroys Home.
Huntington, W Va, (Special)?
When the home of Wade Marcum,
a farmer living on Breeden
creek, Mingo county, was burned
recently, $100,000 in currency,
the hoard of years, was destroyed.
Marcum led the life of a miser
agd when he sold valuable
coal lumber lands always demanded
payment in greenbacks
of large denominations. This
cash he always kept in the house,

A Sketch of the Life, Deafh aid Burial
of Miss Pearle Graham.
The subject of this sketch is the
eldest child of Mr and Mrs J J M
j Graham, whose home is near Cades.
! Here Pearle was born and lived under
the care and guidance of her devoted
parents. She was never a
frivolous child, always devoted to
home duties.
At the age of eleven years she
joined Bethesda church, where she
on the glorious Fourth. We are re!
quested on behalf of the manage!
ment to extend a cordial invitation
1 to the people of Williamsburg to go
over to Darlington on that occasion
and share in the good time that is
promised. Some idea of the programme
may be obtained by a
glance at the notice which appears
|, elsewhere in this issue.

There will be communion service

The Farmers & Merchants Bank of
Lake City has recently been designated
as a State depository. With a
capital of $50,000 and $10,000 surplus,
this is one of the strongest and
most flourishing banks in this part
of the State.
Does it pay to advertise? Well,
ask those Clemson professors who
personally thanked the editor of The
Record for the liberal space given
them,to which they largely attribute
the splendid representative audience
! that greeted them here Saturday.
Superintendent of Education A H
! Casque and Treasurer Hayni*, of
Florence county, were here Tuesday
concluding their settlement with the
corresponding officials of Williamsburg
affecting that portion of this
county recently annexed to Florence.
Dr W G Gamble went to Charleston
Tuesday to attend a re-union of
the members of his class at the Citadel
Academy?class of '90. He returned
home yesterday, having enjoyed
a pleasant renewal of associations
with his former class-mates
after the lapse of a score of years.
We ask our readers to be indulgent
with us just at this season. It's
a fearful grind these sultry days
chasing locals and getting up other
! "copy" for a newspaper day after
day.week after week, no matter how
i bad you feel or how tired you get.
The extreme hot weather seems to
take the life and energy out of eve|rybody.
The tobacco warehouse-men are
getting things in shape for the
opening of the market which will
soon take place. There will be three
warehouses operated here this sea!
son and competition will be keener
than ever. All signs point to higher
prices for tobacco than have been
offered in many years, owing to the
; scarcity of the crop.
While preaching in the Episcopal
church Sunday morning. Rev Dr
Robert Wilson was overcome by the
i heat and had to retire to the vestry
j room. Prompt aid was rendered.and
iin about half an hour he was able
i to return to the residence of Dr W
G Gamble. He was so much imi
proved on Monday that he returned
to his home in Charleston.
We were pleaded to have a call
Saturday from Mr E B Clark of
; Wilmington, the courteous and capable
immigration agent of the Atlantic
Coast Line railroad for this
, State. Mr Clark is with the Clemson-Winthrop
train through this section
and takes a keen interest in
i everything looking to the develop;
ment of the resources of our county
and State.
Dr R C McCabe, who has been ab|
sent from his office for the past few
weeks, returned last week and is "at

equipped new office over the Kingstree
Drug Co's store. Dr McCabe

State Dental association in Colum

that body entitled: "Adenoids

with her home life. She cared
nothing for the frivolities of society,
but chose rather to be useful in her
home.church and neighborhood. Being
the eldest child of fond and indulgent
parents,still she was as submissive
to their wishes as the youngi

do what "papa" and "mama" desired.
Her sweet, cheerful disposition
and friendly manner won for her
hosts of friends. Literally true, "to

Her heart was very much in this

of her.

being organist from childhood up to
the time of her death; helping with
the Sunday-school and lending her
; services in any way that off ered for
I the up-building of the church,
j At the tender age of fourteen
I years she was sent to Leesville College,
where she spent one year and
, returned the second term, but her
1 health failed and she had to come
: home. Although a robust-looking
| girl, Pearle was never very strong.
After remaining at home for two
years she was again sent off to
l school, where she spent two terms.
' She was compelled to abandon the
idea of completing a literary educa!
tion, so she determined to specialize
! in music (vocal and instrumental)
1 and" art, in which she seemed to be
1 especially talented.
She was taking a course in these
studies at Columbia College when
she was seized with her last illness
and was brought home. Every human
effort was made for her recov,
ery. Drs Williams and Courtney of
' Lake City attended her daily, also
Dr McLeod, of the Florence infirmary.
Two well-trained nurses stood
by her bed-side administering to her
I needs, and anxious friends and relatives
came and went; but Pearle
grew gradually weaker under the
burning heat of typhoid fever. The
Great Physician did not will that she
be restored to health.
Pearle was an exception among
j I
Dr Daniel, of Columbia college, assisted
by Revs Fairy of Kingstree,'
1 Derrick of Lake City and Sojourner, j
htr pastor. After the funeral serv-.
ice, which was held at Bethesda
church, the body was taken to its
; last resting place, in the old Graham
: burying ground, where lie her grandj
and gres t-grand-parents. The proi
cession which followed the oody
; from the church to the cemetery
was over a mile long, which proves
the high esteem in which Pearle was
held in :he hearts of the people of
her neighborhood. I have seen such
a throng gather at the graves of
acred persons, who had lived out

Benson, June 27:?The seasons in
' this immediate section are all that

i cotton are thriving remarkably well.
From present indications, however,
the water-melon supply%for the glorious
"Fourth'' will be rather limited.
Mr S Alex Tisdale, of this place,
related to us an instance of a freak
of nature that came within his observation
and is as interesting as it is
out of the ordinary. Mr Mack Tisdale,
who lives near Central church,
is the owner of a young heifer that
became the mother of a calf some
time last March (Mr Alex Tisdale
saw the cow and calf). Mr Mack
Tisdale kept the cow and calf near
his home in anj enclosure, so three
months after the calf No. 1 saw the
light of the world, calf No. 2 made
its appearance, claiming equal right
to the care and affection of the
I same mother cow. Both are doing
well. We have heard of twin calves
and a case of triplets occurred in this
neighborhood a good many years
ago with a cow of|Major Chandler's,
but never before just such a case as
this.

Messrs John and Lamar McCullough,

are on a visit among friends and relatives
in this section. These young
men are sons of Mr I^awrence P
McCullough, who owned the place
now known as the Bell place, where
they were reared.
Mr Alvirt Spann of Timmonsville
is visiting Mr S A Tisdale.
Ye scribe, whose loss by fire was
mentioned ir. last week's Record, desires
to express his sincere appreciation
for the numerous sympathetic
expressions of his friends and especially
to the kind neighbors who
showed what they thought by sending
20 head of mules one day and
plowing his entire farm over before
stopping, which took but a short
time. They are just waiting for
the next call, both white and colored.
It makes a fellow feel happy,
regardless of his misfortune, to have
such kind friends and neighbors.
