WEEKLY NEWS BUDGET FROM LIVE LAKE CITY. TWO RUNAWAY ACCIDENTSRETURNING COLLEGIANS-NEWSPAPER FOR CADES?PERSONAL. Special to The County Record. Lake City, June IS:?Yesterday morning, the horse that Mr A E Hill, a prominent citizen of Cooper postoffice, was driving became frightened at the shifting engine of a freight train at the local station and commenced running before Mr Hill * * realized the danger, causing uic reins to fall and thereby placing Mr Hill in a most perilous position. For a few seconds it seemed that Mr Hill would be instantly killed, should he attempt to jump from the buggy or should the horse cross the railroad in front of the engine. After dashing the buggy against a telegraph pole, throwing Mr Hill out and racing back across the railroad, the animal was stopped. Mr Hill's right hand was badly lacerated,several bones being fractured,and it was necessary for several stitches to be taken. Almost before Dr Eaddy had nnished performing the operation upon Mr Hill's hand, he had a call to Mr Godwin's plantation near town to attend a plow hand, who had his arm broken when the mule he was driving became frightened and started to run, throwing him and causing his arm to be broken. Verily, yesterday seems to have been the day when the masters of domitae naturae were the recipients of her ill temper. Mr John 0 Green has organized a class which he is endeavoring to teach the art of walking, one-stepping, lame ducking and anything but dancing. This class comprises I about thirty of the younger set, who show remarkable potential ability to master the new steps, which are not only simple, but beautiful and graceful. The auditorium has been used for the afternoon and evening classes. Mrs Emma Ellis, who has been teaching school during the past session at McClellanville, is at home with her parents, Rev and Mrs Ari&li, for the vacation. Among the college students at home for the summer holidays are: Talmage Askins of Furman; Ashton H Williams of Georgetown univers- j ity; D Carl Cook and Richardson Chandler, graduates of Furman Fitting school, and Dixie Caldwell of Clemson college. Mrs M A Woods left this morning for Columbia, where she will * ' r\ make her home in the iinure, ut Woods having gone to that city recently and located for the practice of his profession. Messrs J C Lynch and B F Brockington of Cowards were in town yesterday on business. Hon W H Whitehead, Jr, stood the State bar examination in Columbia this week, passing most creditably, and now has his license to practice the profession of the law in South Carolina, and is located here for that purpose. Miss Blanche Stuckey is at home after a week's visit to friends in Florence, and has as her guest, Miss Mildred Muldrow of Florence. Mrs E P Bond has returned to * - l a x. her home here, alter a Driei visit to her home at Mullins. Miss Laura Mae Rodgers has returned from Charleston, where she has been under treatment at the Baker sanitarium. Her many friends are glad to hear of her recovery. Mr Jack Epps, who has been a ~ victim of the typhoid germ, is at the Baker sanitarium, and is greatly improved. Prof H H Brown, who has successfully superintended the school at Cades during the past year, was in 'town Friday. Mr Brown tells us that this coming week will see the first issue of a weekly newspaper at Cades, of which he will the editor. The paper will be called The EnterTHE JOY OF DANCING EXERCISE "Very lew v.-omen or men seem to care to Taaeo or ?et Dancing Exercise unless they are assured the .freedom from aching feet that Allen's Foot-Ease, the antiseptic powder to he shaken into the shoes, always gives.

Mr Brown also told us of the school, modern and up-to-1 date in every detail, with water j works installed, which will be under construction by the latter part of next week; also, various other improvements in our little neighbor city. Misses Ruth Tomlinson and Eloise Brock, two very charming and popular young ladies of Cades, were in town yesterday. The Kingstree boys came up Thursday afternoon for a game of ball against our boys. An interest ing game was played and our boys J won by the score of 7 to 4. The street sprinkler was in .evidence Monday of this week, but has not been used since on account of i the several showers since then. The 1 sprinkler was recently purchased by ! the town, and fills a long-felt need here, doing much to relieve the dis agreeableness of the dust during the warm summer rronths. LBN.' i Cotton Blossoms Received. I The little paragraph in The Rec- j ord last week, stating that the first cotton blossom was reported from j Marion and enquiring "What is the " matter with Williamsburg?" has { been the means of placing a num- | ber of blossoms on our desk since its publication. The first to reach us } was sent from Taft by Mr W R Mc- * Connell and was received Saturday < afternoon. j Monday morning Mr Geo F Chan- I dler of Rome brought to our office 1 a splendidly developed stalk of the j Southern staple with four bios- j soms and not less than forty well s developed buds. 1 One of our enterprising and in- J dustrious colored subscribers.Lisbon McCrea, of Fowler, also brought in j several blossoms Monday. ( On Tuesday Mr G Z Driggers, < whose postoffice is New Zion, but 1 who resides in that territory recent- * ly annexed to Williamsburg from Clarendon, brought several hand- ? some blossoms to our office.

Little damige was done to the growing crops, )ut fruit trees were seriously in iured. From the character of the itorm, it seemed merely local. The lail stones, although not very large, i mattered in lively motion for about ] ;en minutes. Messrs W J and T Altman, of this : Dlace, visited the county seat Satur- 1 iay. On returning home they were raught in an electric storm when :heir horse became frightened and litched their buggy. They escaped arith but little injury.

THOM. | QUALITY JE1 I 257 King St., - < I Rev N B Clarkson. (Sou. Christian Advocate, June 4.) Tuesday morning we received *he following telegram from Florence: "Rev N B Clarkson died last night after a few days' illness. His family were with him. Interment at Gaffney today. R E Turnipseed." Thus passes away another one of the "old guard." He was born on John's Island, S C, September 23, 1839. He was reared in the Episcopal church by a consecrated, Christian mother. His education, like that of many young men of his day, was cut short, but he had received a good foundation in the prepara-1 tory schools and by his own efforts built well upon that. He married, in 1862, Miss Laura V Gordon, of* Williamsburg county, who preceded him to the grave a few years ago. Nine children were born to them, five of whom still live and one of whom, Rev G F Clarkson, is an honored member of the South Carolina conference. Brother Clarkson was converted and joined the Methodist church in early manhood. He was licensed to preach in 1877, and was admitted on trial into the South Carolina conference in 1880. He served important charges with success, winning many souls for Christ. Several years ago, on account of physical infirmities,he was forced to ask for the superannuate relation. He leaves a record of faithful, painstaking work; and he left his impress wherever he labored. To the surviving members of the family we tender our deepest sympathy. Rev N B Clarkson was well known in Walhalla and sections of Oconee, he having resided in Walhalla with his wife for a short while some years ago, and on several occasions visited here during the time his son, Rr*v G F Clarkson, was pastor of the Methodist churches at Walhalla and Seneca. He was an ahlp nrpacher. and an earnest worker in the South Carolina conference for a long term of years, retiring with the superannuate relation a few years ago. The Courier joins with many other friends of the deceased in extending sympathy to the^ bereaved ones in their sorrow.?Aeoicee Conner. Cai't Keep It Secret.
