been one of the best tobacco years in
South Carolina. He pointed out that
the farmers of the Pee Dee section

Mrs. Selden Bryan Falls from
Second Story of Dwelling.
An unusual accident of a very serious
nature occurred at the residence
of Mr James Epps last Thursday
morning,as a result of which his
daughter, Mrs Selden Epps Bryan,
has been in a critical condition since.
Mrs Bryan had not been well for
several days and while dressing to
come down that morning swooned
and,falling through an upstairs window,landed
on the ground,a distance
of about twenty-five feet. ine
shock was very great, and the extent
of the injuries sustained could
not be ascertained for several days. <
Remarkable to say, there were no ,
fractures of any kind and Mrs JSry- i
an's complete recovery without any
serious permanent injuries is confidently
expected. '
The whole community was shocked
to learn of the untortunate oc- (
currence and it is gratifying to all
tho rtv?ovprv of our friend is
assured and that her condition is
improving as rapidly as could be ex- i
pected under the circumstances.
"Whooping 'Em Up."
One of the biggest advertising
agencies in the South writes as follows:
"We have a copy of your paper
and it is a live sheet and you surely
'whoop 'em up' for Kingstree and
your county. We like to see that
and hope you and our agency can
get together on some advertising."
Mr Julius F Rickenbaker nasDeen
recommended for appointment as
postmaster at Lake City.

Electric Light Election Carried?
Personal and Social Items.
Lake City, August 26:?The special
election called by the town council
on the question of electric lights
for this place was held last Wednesday,
August 20, and the majority
vote was in favor of bonding the
town for the purpose of establishing
an electric light plant here. Electric
lights have been a long-felt necessity
and it is indeed with gratification
and pleasure that we announce the
favorable result of the election. At
the same time and place Messrs G L
Sauls, D M Epps and J C Young,
three of our most prominent citizens
and successful business men,
were elected commissioners of public
works, and it will be only a matter
of a few weeks before the installation
of the plant is begun.
Slogan: "Watch Lake City Grow
?tKie Tnurn r>f Onnnrtnnitips "
The new ACL depot is nearing
completion and will be ready for occupancy
in a couple of weeks. This
building: adds a great deal to the appearance
of the town from a railway
coach point of view, especially when
the old one will have been torn down
or removed.
Lake City is quite full of charming
and attractive young lady visitors
at this time, among whom are:
Misses Emma SKeets of Fayetteville,

Of Murder of Lfttte Factory Girl-- ^
Sentenced to Hang October 10.
Leo M Frank, superintendent uf a
the National Pencil Co, at Atlanta, &
Ga, was found guilty of murder Monday,
after the jury had deliberated I
three hours. There was no recom- \
mendation to mercy and Frank was
sentenced to be hanged October 10. ,
The crime of which Frank was convicted
was the murder of Mary Phagan,
a 14-year-old girl operative in V
his pencil factory, on Memorial day, 1
April 26. Frank was also charged S
with criminally assaulting the little ?
girl. The details of the crime were I
unspeakably revolting and the peo- F
pie of Atlanta seem to believe Frank L
guilty. F
The Solicitor, in his closing argu- J
ment.spoke over eleven hours. The z
whole trial lasted nearly a month
and is one of the most notable cases
in the criminal annals of Georgia.
