self-educated man, having acquired
his education at night at home after
completing his day's work. In
1903, he married Miss Kirkland, and
has two bright children. He resides
at 2311 Lincoln street. During
the many years Mr Lesesne has
been employed by the State he has
established the reputation of always
treating everyone with courtesy and

among his associates and is the
right man for the office he now fills.

In Be Black vs The State.
In an opinion written by Eugene
B Gary, Chief Justice, and concurred
in by the other members, the
supreme court Saturday morning
sustained the judgment of the lower
court in awarding E 0 Black of Columbia
$5,000 in a damage suit instituted
against the Columbia State,
the morning newspaper published in
the city of Columbia.
In the second trial of the case the
jury rendered a verdict in favor of
Mr Black for $20,000, but the presiding
Judge made an order for a
new trial, unless the plaintiff would
remit upon the record $15,000 of
the verdict, whereupon the decree
of the Judge was complied with, and
judgment was entered for the sum
of $5,000, interest and costs. The
The State company appealed upon 36
exceptions, all of which were overruled
by the supreme court.?Columbia
Record.
It is not safe for little children to

Between twenty and thirty persons
were injured, several very seriously,
when the grand stand at
the fair grounds fell with a crash
at Laurens Monday. It was estimated
that 800 or 900 were on the
stand when the accident occurred,
and it is little short of a miracle that
no lives were lost outright and that
more were not hurt. A dozen or
more of the injured were rushed to
the Julia Irby sanitarium; others
were treated on the grounds, while
others were taken to their homes in
the city.

FLOURING MILLS
For Black River Section oi Williamsburg
and Georgetown.
There are those persons who have
the idea that wheat cannot be successfully
grown in this part of the
country.
It is a mistake.
Wheat can be, has been and is being
quite successfully grown in the
Black river section of Georgetown
and Williamsburg counties adjacent
to Rhems. And considerably more
wheat is going to be produced in
that section another year.
Moreover, it is entirely within the
range of probabilities that a bolting
plant will be established at or near
Rhems in the near future?in time
to handle the next local crop.
What delightful visions of wholewheat
cakes for breakfast and graham
tread for S'jpper, with homemilled
biscuits three times a day,
that suggestion conjures up!
It is understood that the proposed
bolting plant has ample backing,
, both with capital and the acreage

operation. It will not be an ambitious
plant, to begin with. It will
not undertake to compete with the
great "patent roller process" mills
of western flouring centers. It will
use no kaolin, or plaster of paris, or
other bleaches. But it will make
flour of a sort to bnng delight and
health to the consumers.
The wheat of this section, it is
stated on authority, while not so
hard as the wheat of the colder
northwest, is still a most excellent
grain, and mills and bolts perfectly.
In nutritive properties it is not inferior
to any other wheat, though
the color of the flour may not be?
snow-white.
In connection with the bolting
' .1 - ^ AI :ii i?
J plant it is possiDie triai mere win uc
Ian oat-meal machine. Tons of oatmeal
are annually consumed in
South Carolina as breakfast food,
and all of this now comes from the
North or the West; yet South Carolina,
and Georgetown and Williamsburg
counties, can grow oats to
match any in the world.?Georgetown
Times.
We can testify from personal
knowledge that our friend, Mr G F
Williamson, can and has raised as
fine wheat as can be produced anywhere
in the United States, judging
from the flour of several grades
with which he has presented us in
liberal quantities from time to time
