Lake City, July 5:?The identity of the man who died here on Saturday from the effects of injuries sustained, it is supposed by falling from a train about a mile South of here, has been discovered as a result of ii-i fu. ^.0^,0 vnr arucies puunsticu iu uic popcio on Sunday and Monday. His name was Chester Calhoun Wilson, recently in the employ of H J McLaurin of Sumter, as a carpenter. Two of his brothers were here Wednesday, and by the descriptions given them identified the deceased as their brother, , whom one of them last saw about . m . i La ?_ _ n i. mKLmgnt maay nigm in a oumier barber shop, the deceased leaving him, stating that he expected to go to Charleston in search of work. Itis supposed Wilson went to Lanes on a through freight, there catching passenger train No 80, northward bound, from which he met his death. It has not yet been decided whether or not his body, which was buried here Sunday, will be removed to his home at Sumter. An election, held here Wednesday upon the question of bonding the town for $7,500 for the purpose of Installing a complete electric lighting system, resulted in a vote of 76 for and 26 against the issuing of such bonds. For commissioners of public works, J M Truluck and J C Young received a majority of the /vtoB and were, therefore, elect d. W H Whitehead, Jr. T J Cottingham and L 0 Holloway received the next highest number and will probably have to run over for the third place.

Having not been there in two years, I found this villiage still on the boom, building brick stores, etc. I also went to Trio visiting relatives and friends, and found decided improvements, there having been built a Woodmen hall, a depot and a school house which looks nearly like a university building compared with ! the one this son studied in a few | years ago. But th's is not all I saw | for there were large fields of waving corn, so green "that it looks like a cloud rising," as the farmers would say in boasting of his corn field. Some of this corn is growing where i a few years ago the landlord would not listen to the share-cropper speaki ing of planting corn, except a few I acres, saying that the cotton seed made on an acre could buy the corn made on an acre. The tune has changed. Now broad fields are planted, more corn raised, hence more hogs; raise your bacon at home. I also noticed buildings going up at Lanes, yet no correspondent to The Record. Come on with a line "every once in a while," instruct the readers and help the paper.

Scott a Bowse, Bloom Bald, H. J. tS-M As "A Christian** Views It. Editor County Record:? More than one third of the voters of Williamsburg county have signed a petition for an election looking toward the re-establishment of a dispensary of whiskey here. I connot but wonder how many of the names on that petition are also on the church roll? I wonder if it is possible that most of those signing that petition are professing Christians? We all have known that whiskey has hoen sold in violation of the law ev er since it has been forbidden. It will \ continue to be sold by the Godless, i so long as there is a devil in the! world, since it is the devil's most powerful tool; but surely this does, not excuse one of Chist's soldiers for going over on the devil's side and helping do his work for part of the profits. To those who are not church members this article is not addressed, but those who are need to do some serious thinking on the subject. As we have said, we know that this lawless work has been going on and we know, too, that the crime which has resulted from it cannot be estimated; but now are you ready step forward and say: "I am willing to let this crime go on and will legalize ( it or call it right if you will let me take a hand in it, in a respectable way and give me part of the money ! you make. We need the money to build our sidewalks and beautify our I homes and schools, even if it does I uixtc uui ucautuui wyo cuiu 10 and make of them just such men and women as the devil wants them to be." Oh, friends! I could write or talk indefinitely on this subject, for my heart is so filled with a desire for you to see and do the right thing in this all important matter. There i3 every reason for a Christian to vote against legalizing the sale of whiskey and no reason in favor of you doing so. Of course you can make money by so doing, but you can't do wrong for money and at the same time be true to God. Has He not told you that you cannot serve two masters? You are mistaken if you think it right to choose the least of two evils. A Christian must choose no evil at all. There are no <m?at and small sins with God. Bro ther Christian, you made a serious mistake when you signed that dispensary petition,but it is not too late to rectify the mistake. Let it be known that you have reconsidered the matter and then vote to the honor of your Master when the election day comes. Don't imagine that God cannot take care of His own cause. What He wants is for you to be true to Him. Just set yourself firmly against this and every other evil and trust the outcome to God. He will take care of His own and in His own time the workers of iniquity will be Mut intn nntpr darkness. Don't compromise. There are just two sides to this conflict. Are you really on God's side? Then be true to Him. This is sent forth with the earnest prayer of A Christian. Kingstree, July 3.
