A Wasteful People. i We give below for the benefit of our readers the article commended hv our esteemed Lake j City correspondent in his letter i ln<t wppIc?"A Wasteful People." * We are a wasteful people. Our millionaires glory in it. The aver- c age citizen is just as wasteful with- j out thinking about it. It is com" ^ pute<l that a< much as one-twentieth of all tiie sugar used in this * country is absolutely wasted. Watch t any man at a restaurant. He will ? dump sugar into his coffee by the j spoonful, <tir a little, drink his l?ev- j erage and depart. Nine times out of ten there will be almost as much sugar lying wasted in the iiottoni of I the cup as there has been put into j j it. This waste in the aggregate amounts to thousands of pounds of c sugar the year, and this at a time when sugar is selling at the \ liighe-t price recorded in years. ( We waste in everything. Shoes, the tops of which are perfectly good, half-soling alone l?eing necessary,are ? promptly discarded. Our forebears used to sew new bottoms on all stockings of which the tops were ^ good. Hundred- of men tnrow v away their socks as .soon as a small c hole appears in them. Style puts i garments out of use before they have served half their purpose. We are not content to l>e warmly and j* comfortably clad. Our clothes must be after the model suggested by Editor Bok.or some other feminine art- c ist. Some of us cannot cat round -N steaks. We must have tiie tender- 1" loin all the time. Perhaps our an- 1 cestors would have laughed at us for our extravagance, orhavespank- 2 ed us, if young enough. c We are wasteful in our careless- f ness about tire; wasteful in our eating; wasteful in our clothes; wasteful in our amusements; wasteful in our voice-; wasteful in our activities, even We are almost a nation of , Saturday was payday for the "G 5: W" and a few people are feeling >etVer since?they "kneaded the lough." Mr J YV Register and son, Norvood, visited Georgetown last Sanlay. Mr D Z Rowell visited his parents it Blakeley's yesterday. The farmers hereabouts are much lisheartened about the price of cot. on. They say to plant for 12 cent otton and sell for 8 cents is unproftable. Mr and Mrs T G McDonald were imong those who visited Georgeown last week.

Two years ago I suffered ;rom an attack of kidney complaint md I had a lame and aching back. U that time I used Doan's Kidney Jills and they so completely relieved ne that I have not had any need of i kidney medicine since.

Trio, November 13:?There isn't rnich doin.4 around here these days, >nt what thhrp is is worth readillC about. The ginnery is running only three iays a week now, most of the cotton having already been sold?some' thing over 600 bales, which is nearlj 200 bales more than the whole season last year. Mr Cleve Morris, a son of Mr F L Morris, is now in Columbia, having accepted a position with the South ?rn railway. Dr L W M}ore visited his parent ?t al at Lake City Sunday and Man day. We are glad to learn that Mr M I Boyd, of the "Gully", is petting along nicely, after a severe illness Hope to see him out soon. Messrs James Bryan and W 1 Rowell made a business trip t( Kingstree Monday. Mr Jas Bryan visited Charlestor ane dav last week on business. ? Mr W S Camlin of West Andrews ivas a welcome visitor here Tuesday We are always glad to see Mr Cam' in in our midst. The road from Trio to Andrews, >vith the exception of about 20C rards, is now ready for traveling, rhe little no thoroughfare of 20C rards might be speedily remedied vith profit to all concerned. Now, et's all pull together, fellow-citizens md Mr Koad engineer; it needs oniy i little ditching. The new school-house is nearing ,'ompletion now. The contractor^sects to have it ready in about three veeks, we understand. Several of ;he school children from here are low attending the graded school at Andrews. Supt W H Andrews, of he G & W railroad, gives a very iberal rate to Andrews and return. ivir DtlLUIl DlUll, a laiinci ui iata- i ington county, claims to have made I this year eleven bales of cotton on ' five acres. The report does not state the weight of the bales, however. XXX Nearly a score killed and many people injured more or less sjverely was the work of the storm and bliz- zard that raged Saturday right in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois'. No deaths were reported in the Southern States. U XXX l! Governor Blease says that he has tl decided not to call an election on the 81 question of forming "Heyward" ^ county, a new county to be created a out of portions of Aiken and Edge- G field counties. J XXX u Mr Riley Porter of Pickens county, ^ was killed Friday of last week by G being caught in a l:ne shaft at his f" 0 b father's ginnery. .He was putting a belt on a wheel when his arm was & caught and broken off above the b T elbow, then he was carried around the shaft several time3,causing fatal ? internal injuries. His brother. Wad- ? p dy Porter, was accidentally killed three weeks ago while out hunting. Appreciation. Thanks to our kind and liberal si friends, the editor and his family | C enjoyed a feast, of good things to fi eat last week tnat really left noth- N ing to be desired. In fact, our ap- t< j petites have been so pampered that aj it is harder than ever to go back to I the stand-by?fried bacon and hominy, canned salmon, etc. G ! What do you think of this, Brother C1 Bass, for a layout to delight the 0 soul of an epicure: b Item?One fat 'possum (it had ^ ibeen fattened in a pen, like a pig), ^ and a side of pork, from our big- e hearted friend, Mr R C McElveea ;of Bethel. "Charley" is one of the best fellows we know; his kindnesses p i to us extend from year to year and 0 ' we believe that he enjoys tne giving c almost as much as we do his gifts, p j which is certainly the quintessence s i of enjoyment. ii Then our generous neighbor. Mr ? -! W H McGee, went duck-hunting in j Georgetown last week and brought J; home of a bunch of beauties. He r presented us with a fine Mallard? we suppose it was a Mallard.it ate ^ i so good ?which made us a Sunday ^ *' dinner fit for a King. f J Our esteemed friend, Mr H H i Kinder, must have heard about that c I . I i 'possum, for he brought us in just 1 1! at the psychological moment, a fine * lot of those beautiful yams than ' which there is no more graceful ' concomitant, to Mr Possum imaginable. I Last, but not least, came along ? Mr Duncan Gamble Saturday with a * fine string of fresh fish, which he, p > hearing of our being sick that day, r ' brought around to the house. They r ' were delicious, too, and had much n 1 to do with hastening our convales- a 1 cence to the point of being able to v ' I enjoy them. Jh Now that it is all over, it seems : like a dream, all that feast of good things bestowed upon us in one d > week. The substantial fact remains, d however, and will ever be in our ! mind.that we live in a land'of plenty; v ' our lines are cast in pleasant places, tj and a more hospitable, generous, no' hie people dwell nowhere on this terrestrial ball than the good people ; of Kingstree and Williamsburg county.

E NEGRO SERIOUSLY CUT A ly White Man Who Acted in Self- M Defense. H M In a difficulty with a negro named indrews at Salters yesterday, it is q eported that young Mr Julius Lif- m age cut and seriously wounded the Pi egro. It is^aid that the negro was A: dvancing upon Mr Lifrage, armed rith a piece of scantling, and the ^ itter acted in self-defense. There are few things in life more ^ espicable than the man who blames ; on his wife. Looking at the sun through a 'a sc ,'hiskey glass shows the picture of _ he poorhouseand thin soup.
