KAPPE?iNGS AT LAAc CITT AND VICINITY, HYMEN'S TORCH?A. C. L. STATION OUTGROWN?BARN AND STABLES BURNED-PERSONAL. Like City, October 23: ?Mrs C D Rollins has returned home from a risit to her parents near Dawson,Ga. Mrs Ida I Elliott has been on a risit to relatives and friends in and lear Bennettsville. The Baptist folk and friends gave Rev T J Rooke a pounding Monday light. Mr Samuel Bryan Wiikins of Ath- j e:.s. Ga. is spending s ;me days here; I with his family, who have been visiting Mrs Wiikins' parents. Mr and Mrs W T Wiikins, for several weeks past. i Messrs S J Langston and J H 1 White of Richmond. Va, were in town Tuesday. Mr Langston is a. son of Mr C W Langston. a former, resident of Kingstree. He and Mr j White came in their automobile j from Richmond to Timmonsville, 1 making the trip in two days. ^ Mr and Mrs S 0 Pegues spent the week-end at the home of Mr and Mrs i M F Heller, while returning from l their bridal trip to their future home at Pinopolis. Berkely county. The bride, who was formerly Miss Nonie 1 Simons of Charleston, is well known , and admired in the society of our town. I r Miac Rlnn<*he Funk, who has been i under treatment in a Florence infirmary for several weeks for tuber- ^ culosisof the ankle bone, is so much 1 improved that she was able to re- ] turn home last week. With care and continued treatment her physician holds out hopes of her ultimate re- ' covery. i An old and valued friend from 1 Lake City writes thus in renewing 1 his subscription: "I can't do without your paper. Still feel like it is , my home paper." We appreciate these kind expressions and hope that as long as we are at the helm The 1 Record will be a welcome visitor to the home of our friend. Mr G M Beasley of Gourdins, one ' of our county's most extensive farmers, was in town Monday looking unusually proud and happy. Casual inquiry as to the cause for his elated spirits elicited the fact that he is the father of twin babies?a boy and a girl, the finest pair of twine in all the wide borders of the Palmetto State. Thanks to the thoughtful kindness of Mr H H Kinder the editor and his family have feasted on sweet potatoes every day for the past week. Big candied yams,the lineal descendants of the very same sweet potatoes that constituted the menu provided for the British officer by General Marion on a certain historic occasion. Mr. W K Mcintosh left yesterday for Clarksville, Va., where he with several associates will operate a tobacco warehouse during the season, which commences in Virginia about the time that our markets close. Mr Mcintosh is an experienced warehouseman and his numerous friends bespeak his success in his new field. A letter to the editor from Mr P S Courtney, who was operated on for appendicitis last week at a Florence infirmary, conveys the gratifying intelligence that he is getting over the operation as well as could be expected and it is hoped that the worst is over. Mrs Courtney and the children returned home the early part of the week. Mr "Bob" Tisdale, ot Cedar Swamp, and his son-in-law, Mr J C Kellahan of Belfast, Ga, favored the editor with a call Monday, Mr Kellahan being on his way back to his Georgia home. Mr "Bob" is one of our oldest and truest friends and it is always a pleasant sight to see his bright,genial countenance and grasp his honest hand. Rev E E Ervin received news Monday that his brother, Mr D M Ervin, who has been under treatment ' for several weeks in a hospital at Richmond, Va. had to undergo a se- ( rious operation and grave doubts are i entertained as to the outcome. Mr J Ervin is one of our best citizens and ; his host of friends are much dis- i; tressed to hear of his critical illness.; Town Oilicers Elected. Andrews. October 23. Social:?1: One of the most spirited municipal campaigns that has ever taken place J here ended today with the election : of the following town officers: In-1 tendant, Mr G L Grant; four wardens. namely: Messrs J K Jenkins,: Ben White, A B Crosby and L D Pipkin. The best wishes of the writer are extended to our new of fleers and we hope our town will I give them hearty support and co-operation. Tnis is the only way we can build up the town. w s c. j Don't trifle with a cold is good j advice for prudent men and worn- j en. It may be vital in case of a child. There is nothing better than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for coughs and colds in children. It is safe and sure. For sale by all dealers. Corn on the cob is more acceptable than corn on the foot. Try a barrel of American Queen Flour at I 10-19-2t Farmers' Supply Co's. Dr and Mrs L u Koinns spent Thursday of last week in Florence. Mr David Gaskins and Miss Belle ftutson were married on the afterloon of the 22nd instant, at Bethel Baptist church. The ceremony was performed by Rev J W Truluck, the pastor. The young couple will make their home at Lake City, vhere Mr Gaskins is engaged in business. Mr S W Epps, better known as "Jack" Epps, met wi*:h the misfortune Monday morning of getting his leg broken. He was working with the '"skidding" machine of the Wilson Lumber Co., which was in the woods getting in logs. On<? leg of the "skidder" broke; and Mr Epps, fearing that it would turn over on him, jumped. His left leg was snapped in two just above the ankle. At last accounts he was doing very well. Rev T J Rooke preached for the Baptists last Sunday morning and night. One of the most inteligent men ol our section remarked to the writer a few days ago: "Editor Wolfe getf out the best weekly newspaper ir South Carolina." (We doff oui chapeau to this kind critic). Friday morning of last week the barn and stables at Mr J P Sauls' place in town were burned. The fire was discovered a few minutes before 4 o'clock. Mr Sauls got all his live-stock out. but two hog* were so badly burned tnat tney are expected to die. All the feed, harness, etc.. which Mr Sauls values at some $300. were destroyed. The building, which belonged to Mr J S Rodgers, was worth about $500. The indications are that the fire was the work of an incendiary. Mr J SMurchison, superintendent of the Charleston Division of the Atlantic Coast Line, spent Monday ir town. Ostensibly the purpose of his visit was to look ir.to the situation with respect to the accommodations, or rather lack of accommodations, for this place. It is certainly high time that somebody was looking into this situation, and also doing something 'more than looking. The Atlantic Coast Line is not dealing fairly with Lake City and the community. This place is not getting what it ought to have, and no other town in the State would so humbly submit to this treatment, as Lake City has submitted in the past and is still submitting to it. "Uncle" Toby Graham, an old negro living near town, died last Monday. He was of very advanced years, probably about ninety, and belonged to that class < f rc-spected negroes that is rapidly passing away. Faithful to his master in slavery days, he was faithful to his duty as a man since he was declared free. Humble, industrious, law-abiding and peaceable, he has the respect and confidence of both white and black. Last Saturday some one slashed three eighteen dollar suits in the store of Messrs Stewart & Mcintosh. The suits were hanging on the racks that are used to display them to customers, and apparently the miscreant cut them in passing along by the racks. W'taat spirit of deviltry could have prompted the act is hard to conceive. Mr J E Smith of Florence and Miss Gertrude Thomas,a daughter of Mr E H Thomas of Lake City, were married at the residence of Rev A. W. Jackson, the officiating minister, in Lake City on last Sunday afternoon. W L B / THE SANGER SHOWS. ( I A Large Crowd from Town and County Enjoyed Performances. j Sanger's Combined Shows exhibj ited to a big crowd here last Thursday and their performance seemed : to give general satisfaction. While larger circuses have visited ; here, giving more elaborate per- ! formances.few.if any,gave a smoother or more pleasing exhibition than Sanger's. There were not so many i rings to see all at once, so that very little of the acting went to waste, so j i.. 1- TL- ? j:_ 1 I to speaK. ine riuiug anu uie acrobatic feats were hard to beat and the trained elephant's stunts were about as clever as any ever shown here. Two performances were given, afternoon and night, The management and attaches were most courteous and obliging and the best of order prevailed. If there was any case of drunkenness or rowdyism we failed to notice it. The Sanger show will be welcomed at Kingstree whenever it pleases to come back.
