SCRANTON SKETCHES. i Death of Mrs. Scott?A Pleasant Social---Tobacco Market Urged. Scranton, August 12:?Mrs Mary Scott of Hartsville died last Friday at hor residence there and was brought I here Saturday and interred in the! Methodist cemetery an.id a host of sorrowing relatives and friends, Rev J W Bailey officiating. The deceased was about 64 years old, a former resident of this place, and was the wife of Rev William Scott,a Baptist minister, who preceded her to the grave a number of years ago. Dr C H Pate went to Hartsville last Sunday,visiting relatives,and return-, ed Monday. Mr Lowell Lee, now of Spartan burg, visited relatives here last week and also made a trip to Charleston. Mr H A Graham of Greenwood and Mr H L Graham of Goldsboro, N C. visited relatives here Sunday. Mr Sam J Kirby took his little son. Listen, to a Florence infirmary Monday, where an operation was necessary to remove the appendix, which was successfully done and he was getting along favorably when last heard from. We hope he will soon be well again. There was a delightful "social" at thp hnmp nf Mr Harold Graham Monday evening. Various games were played and the guests were pleasingly entertained throughout the evening. Mr B B Myers and Miss Lalla Lee; Messrs W A Myers and Geo Bailey were those who attended from town. The latest "dope" is to the effect that one, or may be two, tobacco warehouses are to be built here before the next season. This is the most needed enterprise here, so,business men, get behind the idea, agitate the subject, keep it up, boost it, "everybody's doin' it." Don't be satisfied with mere discussion, form fol/n \rnnr Hnllorc anH JUUI iUCOO, VtU ii v?rkV JVUI uvitMl w form the warehouses. Start it moving. Join in and help, moneyed men. Don't be a "knocker." If the business men of this town want bus'?' iness, build the warehouses; that's what will bring you tlte "biz." I M G. Lines from Leo. (Received too late for last week's issue). Leo, August 11:?Guess the many readers of The Record would like to know what has become of "0 K." i Sorry to say I have been out three weeks on account of being sick, but am glad I am able to be up again and will give some of the happenings around Leo. Dr J G Clinkscales of Spartanburg failed to come to Prospect last Sunday on account of being sick. We were very sorry he did not come, as we are always glad to welcome Dr Clinkscales amongst us. Only wish he could stay down here with us all the time. Tobacco-curing is about over; there are still a few patches about that were set out late. Now it is going to be a race with the man and the worms to see which can house the most of the weed. Tobacco has brought such good prices this year I think the i farmers are making up their minds to trv next vear to make a better grade and a bigger crop. Miss May Fulton of Fredericksburg, Va, one of our former school teachers, is visiting friends around Leo. All are glad to see Miss May again. Rev L D Bass gave a lecture Sunday at Prospect church on prohibition. We are always glad to hear these lectures, but if the voters don't turn out to the polls August ] 9 and vote the dispensary out, the lectures from these good men will not avail much. Now, say brother voter, let \is crn nnt tn thp nnlls nnd vntp it I out nnd have prohibition in the true| sense of the word. 0 K. Remarkable Cure fur Dysentery.

Benson, August 19:?Last Thursday evening, at the hospitable home of Mr T J i'hlllips, the young fo;k were invited to a lawn party, where .t>r> /-loiitrhtfiillv sprv. 1 CI 1 V_CIIIIiV llio ?? v * V. uv..6?.v*v?.v , ed on little tables, placed some distance apart and purposely arranged so that only two would be seated at one of them, and by some pleasant and inexplicable reason it so occurred that a young lady and her gentleman friend were fortunate to be sealed together there. Time was whiled pleasantly away in the lovely moonlight, ali being unconscious of ihe fleeting moments as they were engaged in tete-a-tete conversation until the wee sma' hours reminded them that the best of friends must part. Miss Ethel Nesmith of bake City, who taught school here a few years ago, visited her loyal friends in this section a few days last week. Miss Nesmith, after leaving here, spent some time at Columbia University. N'ew York, under the instruction of specialists in her profession. Since then she has attained a degree of enviable success in the class room, having taught under Dr Mann at Florence and Greensboro, N C. She has recently accepted a position as principal of the preparatory department of a female college in Greenville, and will also do some college work there. Mr Dick Phillips of Dalzell visited relatives here last week. Miss Ruth Coker. stenocrraoher for Edwin G Seibels, Columbia,after spending a short vacation among relatives and friends here, has returned to resume her duties in the office, where she has been employed for quite awhile. Miss Leland Phillips of Lamar is visiting at the home of Mr and Mrs T J Phillips. Mr and Mrs John Y McGill, with their little daughter, Julia Marion, are spending a few days at the Isle of Palms. Mr W E Nesmith, an energetic, successful business man of Cades, spent a few hours here Saturday. Dry weather has materially injured the cotton and corn crops in this community, whereas other near sections have been fortunate in having more favorable seasons. WES. In Memorlam. "Gone, thou faithful, loving spirit, Gone to live in Heaven above; Gone the Kingdom to inherit Purchased by the God of love." Thus we think of Samuel Graham Bryan, eldest child of Walter R and Lizzie Graham Bryan,whose soul, on the 18th of August, 1912, passed from its earthly tabernacle into life everlasting. Sam was just thirty years old and had much to live for, yet he bore his suffering with resignation and faced the inevitable with strength imparted only to the weak who put their trust in a Higher Power. At the age of twelve he joined Union Presbyterian church and faithfully worked to bring into the Sunday-school and missionary society those who were unconcerned i ....I.I ? auuut uicir suuid saivauuu. luauv will remember how he loved to sin#: 'bring them in, bring them in; bring the little ones to Jesus." He was assistant superintendent of the Sunday-school at the time of his death, which was caused by Bright's disease. "Saved, saved, but will there be any stars in my crown?" were among his death-bed words. He leaves a loving wife, mother, father, two brothers, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death. "How we miss thee, precious loved one, How our hearts are filled with nain: But to wish thee back, ah, never! For our loss is Heaven's gain." One Who Loved Him. Cades News. (Received too late for last week's issue). Cades, August 12:?The Hebron baseball team came up and crossed bats with our nine Saturday and was defeated by a score of 9 to 0. Batteries: Hebron?Baker and Baker; Cades?Eaddy and Clark. A few of the Hebron young ladies came with the team but did not say very much, as the team did not do a great deal. We hope the Hebron boys will learn how to bat be fore they play us again,for our field- j ers will forget how to catch a hall if j we play them much. Miss Alice Chandler of Henry has; been visiting Miss Ruth Tomlinson, :ne of her Winthrop friends. Miss Ethel Fitch of Pergamos is spending a few days with Miss Gar-j net Graham. Messrs George and Elbert McEl- j veen have returned from a few days'' muting at the Isle of Palpns. Mr G R Bo wen of Lake City was noted in town Saturday. Reporter. . i- . - \ ) Worn Out?

White Oak, August 12:?Rev J M Baxley of Lake City conducted revival services all last week at the Eaddy school-house, resulting in the conversion of five and the reclamation of one. The tobacco season is almost over here, or, at least, the most of the "golden weed" is marketed. The j farmers are highly pleased,especially i with the Kingstree market. Mr R E McElveen offered a load of tobac ? 1--.. i.i? J co at anotner marKei recently aim, not being satisfied with the price, took it to Kingstree, with the result of deriving $30 clear profit. Several of the farmers attended the demonstration of the farmers' institute at Mr J J M Graham's Monday. They are all well pleased with what they saw and heard and roport having had a good time. The health of our community is fairly good at present, for which we are very thankful.

The average politician, however.is more interested in voters than farmers.? Columbia, S C\ State. Evidently you do not regard Representatives Ragsdale and Henry as "average politicians." Their amend - t-Ml ]. menus 10 me currency 0111 are maue on the single plea that "something should be done for the farmers." Therefore,to follow your logic to its last analysis, the inference is that most of the voters in South Carolina and Texas are farmers. Quod erat demonstrandum%?New York Sun. Wood's Higjh-Grade Seeds.
