Mr J D Proctor of Florence is visiting at the home of Mr A M Gordon. Mr D M Lesesne of Heinemann visited his sister, Mrs E E Fluitt, Tuesday. However, we have the consolation of knowing that it's hottor in other parts of the State. Mr E C Page,traveling representative of the Columbia State, was in Kingstree Tuesday. \Hon Sam Rittenberg of Charleston - was in Kingstree Tuesday to attend the campaign meeting. State Bank Examiner I M Mauldin, of Pickens, was in Kingstree Monday on official duty. Miss Frances K Epps, of Saxon Graded school, Spartanburg, is home x for the summer vacation.

Messrs M S McKinnon.L Vaughan and L Vaughan. Jr, of Hartsville were here this week on a fishing excursion. Miss Mary Marks, who has been visiting the family of her cousin,Mrs C W Wolfe,returned Tuesday to her home in Columbia. A good shower would perhaps breake the backbone cf the torrid wave, but the weather man wys, "No relief in sight." I Yesterday the Scott Drug Co moved out of the Gourdin building 1 into their handsome new store room in front of the postoffice. Rev Palmer C DuBost, a missionary to China, will conduct morning and evening services in the Presbyterian church next Sabbath.

We are pleased to note that Miss Retha Burgess, who was indisposed several days the first part of the week, is able to be at her post of duty again. The official thermometer at this place reached 101 degrees Tuesday 'and 102 degrees yesterday. So far the hottest days of this year by several degrees. Miss Martha Gordon returned yesterday from Columbia, where she went to see her mother, Mrs a M Gordon, who is now at the Waverly sanitarium. Mr W F Caldwell, the Columbia representative of the News & Courier, paid this office a pleasant visit Tuesday while here to report the State campaign meeting. Misses El ma Hinds, Essie Blakeley and Alma Davis are visiting in Baltimore. They will be the guests of Mrs John Slater Jennings at Royal Oak, Md, before returning home. We regret to learn that our friend, Mr J C Dobbin of Richmond, Va.has been compelled to go to New York for medical treatment. All hope soon to hear of his restoration to health. It was reported to us Monday by a reliable gentleman of Taft, that a negro woman living in cne neignuur-, hood gave birth to three babies Sunday night?two boys and one girl; all doing well. The commencement exercises of Memminger school, Charleston, took place Thursday night of last week. Among the graduates in the normal1 class was Miss Jane Shoolbrook Ball, a grand-daughter of Rev Dr Robert Wilson. I Mr S Marcus, accompanied by his I daughter, Miss Lilly,is spending a va cation in the Adirondack mountains of New York. Mr Marcus's health has been poor for some time past and we trust that he will be greatly benefited by his sojourn at the North. According to the Columbia State, at Phenix, Arizona, and Columbia, S C, last Tuesday the caloric was the most intense in the whole United States. The two cities tied with a temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Not a very enviable distinc| tion. The room just vacated by the Scott Drug Co is now being overhauled and fitted up for a "booze shop," which will be opened here by the dispensary board tomorrow. A list of the stock.with prices, will appear in an ad to be published in The Record next week. We regret to announce that Presiding Elder H B Browne, of *the Kingstree district, is very much indisposed. For the present his work l- ?

The little 3-year-old boy of Mr Cosmos, the fruit merchant at the corner of Main street and Hampton avenue,fell into the watering trough at the intersection of Mill street and Hampton avenue yesterday and was saved from drowning only by the timely efforts of Mr L T Thompson, who saw the child when he fell in - - head foremost.

The latter will conduct his first service here next Tuesday at 8:30 p. m. All are in vi tea. Our esteemed friend, Mr V E Lifrage, of the vicinity of Salters, yesterday presented us with a nice water-melon. This is the earliest ripe water-melon we have ever seen grown in this county. July 4 used to be considered about the earliest date for the luscious fruit. We thank our friend most heartily for his kind remembrance and assure him thHt it was a treat to all the family. Returning from Charleston Tuesday night on an A C L excursion, an obstreperous negro named Elijah Manning,claiming to hail from Maxton,North Carolina,got intoadispute with several others of his race and proceeded to use his pistol with painful effect upon his antagonists,shooting one in the leg and another in the arm. The shooting occurred near Monck's Corner, in Berkeley county, but the negro was not arrested till the train reached Kingstree, where he is being held for the Sheriff of Berkeley county, who will probably take charge of him today. Sirs. Annie J. Kennedy Dead. Mrs Annie H Kennedy, widow of the late Mr W F Kennedy, died at her home here yesterday morning at 9 o'clock, after a painful illness ex- j tending over six months.
