The meeting which has been going j on at the Baptist church here since i Sunday, August 4, conducted by Messis Westendorf, Huthmaker.Sigwald and Parker of Charleston, is still in progress and will continue throughout the week, and Sunday.

Tobacco sales were heavier in Kingstree Tuesday and Wednesday of this week than on any day since the opening of the market. Each of the three warehouses was filled with the golden weed and prices ranged from 4c to 38c per pound. Buyers say they have to pay from si to $l! more per hundredweight here for tobacco than at anv other market in the State for similar grades. This speaks volumes for Kingstree as a tobacco market.

It will be several weeKs.nowever, before he will be able to actively resume his duties, even under the most favorable auspices. Meantime the paper will be issued as heretofore by Mr Tolley, who has admirably discharged the duties of editor, pro tern, during Mr Wolfe's enforced absence. Judge Brockinton's services were in demand early Monday morning: when Mr Charlie Ward of Lenud and Miss Janie Lambert of Sampit appeared at his office for a marriage license just after the arrival of train No 80. It was very evident that they were in a hurry, hut the Judge did not keep them in anxiety long. He soon showed up, issued the desired document and performed the ceremony necessary to make the couple man and wife. Just after the ceremonv had been performed the voice of an angry papa was heard over a telephone inquiring if a certain couple had applied for a marriage license. The voice was too late. The job had been completed and two hearts made to beat as one. They left on a noon train. ill!' Di\vaii iviuiurans. Fellow Democrats: ? Circumstances beyond my control :ause me to withdraw my candidacy for Road engineer for Williamsburg :ounty. I desire to thank my friends and the voters, one and all, for the encouragement I have had.

Young People Entertained by the Misses and Mr Staekley. i One of the most enjoyable occasions that has engaged the attention of the young people of kingstree this season was the reception Monday night at Mr and Mrs L J Stackley's, given by their son, Mr Sam Staekley and the Misses Staekley in honor of their guests, Mr Walton H Smith of Turbeville, Mr Marion Lani o .__u 1 iu:?? flciin Ol OpaiUUlUUIK ctnu miss uruigia Stackley of Florence. The quests began to arrive about nine o'clock. The receiving line consisted of Miss Georgia Stackley, Mr Walton H Smith, Mr Marion Lanham, Miss Jennie Lee Stackley, Miss Annie Stackley and Mr Sam St ick ley. As fast as the guests arrived ' they were served punch by Miss! Katie Stackley and Mr Virgil Hinds,! ; and then proceeded to the parlor j j J where the games of the evening! j were played and enjoyed. The first thing to occupy the minds and exercise the thought-cen-; ! 1! ters of those present was a short poem with several omitted words toj be supplied. The spaces or blanks! were to be filled with words relat- ! ing to music, such as bar, note, time, j rhapsody, space, etc, and the whole when completely filled out was a! little romantic story. After the; contest was over, those who had succeeded in filling out tne blanks without error were allowed to "cut" for the prize. Miss Florrie Jacobs won tie prize, which was a pretty song. The next contest was worked out from Mother Goose's rhymes, and was very interesting. The prize in this contest, which was a book of Mother Goose rhymes, was won by Miss Hazel Gewinner. Miss Eunice Harper, while contests were being! ; engaged in and also another times, favored the guests by playing some : very pretty pieces on the piano. This was a very enjoyable part of the occasion. During the evening refreshments were served. Everyj thing was daintily arranged, and the J 1 guests were all highly entertained and enjoyed the occasion to the fullest degree. Those present and participating in the merriment of the evening were Miss Annie Jenkins of South Boston, V'a, Miss Hazel Gewinner of j Macon, Ga, Miss Georgia Stackley! of Florence, Miss Hattie Plowden j of Manning, Misses Martha, Mary and Emma Gordon, Floride and Eu-1 nice Harper, Hallie Hinds, Ada' Brockington, Clara Montgomery, i Mai St oil, Lula Brockington.
