BUDGET OF NEWS FROM LAKE CITY. AUTO RUNS WITHOUT GASOLINE TANK-CUTTING AFFRAYPERSONAL MENTION. Lake City, June 13:?Dr and Mrs p t~y Rollins an;l ohilHren and Miss Cornelia Hook spent last Sunday in Turbeville. Rev S C Morris and family are spending some time here with the father of the former, Mr J J Morris. Rev Morris has given up pastoral work to take charge of the Horry Industrial school near Conway. He will, we understand, be superintendent of thie school, succeeding Rev E 0 Watson. Rev Morris's last charge was some churches in the lower part of Florence county, in 1 the Kingsburg section. Before en- ^ tering the conference regularly he had taught several years and was < regarded as a successful teacher and ^ a good disciplinarian. Mr Carl Cook returned last week from the State University, where he is taking a course in law. He went through the session just closed sue- < cessfully and will graduate next year. There was a.cutting scrape at the ' Deep River Lumber Co's negro quarters Saturday night. One man sliced another negro man's features, and j went away so swiftly that he has not been heard of since, v It is currently understood that ( Mr Dunham Singletary is much 1 gratified with the action of the ( trustees in the matter of selecting t teachers for another year. 1 One night last week there were so ^ many strangers in town that con- * siderable difficulty was experienced f in securing rooms for those here at * and just after nightfall, and things s ' were so congested by the time train ' 89 arrived that it was announced at , that train that there were no rooms f to be had in town. Mr Jamie C Williams came home 1 , Wednesday from the State Univers- 1 ity at Columbia a full-fledged attor- 1 nav.nf.taw h*? having graduated and been admitted in the supreme court. 1 He has not yet decided where he * will locate. ' Mr Powell, president of the Deep * River Lumber Co, was here last ( week from his home in Norfolk, Va. * a He remained here two or three days. 1 It is not supposed that Mr R,E Brown of Leo is kicking about the * cost of running an automobile on ( account of the high price of gasoline. He has a car which appears to run ( on a minimum quantity of gasoline. * We have it from reliable sources * that a few days ago while on his ( way to Florence the gasoline tank, ' without the knowledge of Mr Brown, dropped off as he was passing Mr Lewis McGee's place on the Georgetown road. The car sped on, with 1 Mr Brown in blissful ignorance of < what had happened, and did riot stop < until the cross roads opposite Ander- 1 son's Bridge had been passed?a 1 distance of about five miles. He j then, on looking for the cause of *\ stopping, discovered the absence of s his tank, which was found five miles i down the road. Can this be beaten? c Five miles without even the gasoline ? tank. And Mr Brown uses no x "priming" either. t Mr Woodley, of Petersburg, Va, was here the latter part of last week to see his daughter, Mrs C D Rollins.! * Mr R F Joyner went to Columbia c Sunday to see his little boy who is r in a hospital, where he was operated upon. The boy is doing very well. Crops are improving considerably. The showers, of which we have had ? several nice ones, are coming just ( right to keep things growing.

Florence, June 12:?The grand ury made its presentment and spe:ial report in regard to the county >fficers who were presented for negigence of office at the close of the :ourt last week. In a statement to he judge E D Sallenger, the forenan, who has worked very hard and ;ery faithfully on this matter,stated hat he did not wish to take any 'urther action in the matter, as he relieved that everything would be traightened out in all of the offices i )y the Octot>er term of court. The Treasurer was charged with negli- j jence in not requiring the Sheriff to j ;ake out the executions and for hay-! nga number of bad checks and due sills for taxes and for not keeping a proper kind of bank book account. The Clerk of Court was charged with iot' properly keeping his books and for negligence to collect and report ines and licenses due the county, ;he Sheriff with negligence in not jollecting and reporting executions ind the Supervisor in not having an nvoice of county property. Each of these officials answered die charges and in many cases paid jonsiderable sums to the county. Hie total from the Treasurer in checks and due bills made good was (1,218.85; from the Clerk of Court, (1,555; from the Sheriff, $11,537.59 jollected on all executions that he las pushing all the year.

Cedar Swamp, June 115:?Last Thursday, on the cool and shady bank of the historic Black river, at Sims' Reach bridge, a small crowd from both sides of the river met for a day's outing. The morning hours were whiled away pleasantly and * " M - - J ...U? rapidly,lor u seemea very suun wueu dinner was announced. The picnic folk encircled a large white linen table cloth spread on the ground and upon which was a veritable feast of good things to eat. Those present from the south side of the river were: Mesdames W B Brown, W B McCollough, Misses Pearl, Wylma, Mattie and Virginia McCollough, Jennie Salters and Messrs Manson Brown, Jack Salters, Lex McClary and Julius Lifrage. From the north side: Misses Flossie Kellahan, Sadie Snowden, Eulah and Lucile McCullough, Mrs Nita Epps and Messrs Jack and Will McCullough and W E Snowden. In the afternoon most of the happy party spent the time attired in their bathing suits frolicking in the flowing stream. When the shadows oegan to lenginen, wmcn was a signal that the parting houi had come, the happy crowd bade each other adieu and wended their way homeward. FYiday afternoon Miss Amanda Edwards, accompanied by Mrs Lulu Barr and Miss Louise Barr, visited our community. Miss Edwards gave a canning demonstration for the benefit of a number of ladies who assembled at the home of Mrs J G McCullough. Refreshments were served in the open air in a manner most charming, especially to the few members of the masculine persuasion present. The boys from "hustling Hemingway" motored early Saturday morning to this section to cross bats with the local team. To say the least, the game was spirited from start to finish, and for a long time it was hard to guess which would be the winning side. The score man was marking zeros for both sides for several innings. Finally the double "H H's" made a few home runs that won for them a decisive victory. A second game was called, and the home boys thought the "table had turned" and it appeared that way, for the scores were two for Cedar Swamp and one for Hemingway until the last inning. The visitors made a desperate effort to win, and the locals had to 3ubmit to a second defeat. Misses Beth McGill and Sue McNeal leave today to attend the summer school at Coker college. Mr Mordaunt McConnell of Kingstree, who recently graduated from Clemson college,is visiting his friend. Jack MeCuliough, of this place. The farmers are rejoicing over the propitious season we are having to destroy grass and cultivate the young crops. Corn is very promising up to date.

The inspector didr I carefully sort out the large pe ! from the small ones as the grc containers were brought to hir He just dumped the whole lot in | an inclined chute with a sieve be torn, and as the peas rolled dov j they sorted themselves. .The litt ' " a. n?i. 11 *1 j leiiows were me nrsi lu run uiruuj ; the me9he9 and disappear. Down little fartoer the meshes (rot larg } and the next size dropped out j si(rht. And so on until only a fe i large sized ones rolled out at tl | end of the chute. None of the peas were deliberately seleete j They just sort of selected thei selves. And that's the way we i go through life's sieve. We a ; poured in at the top, a chaotic grei mass, and we gradually sort ou selves. As we come opposite tl mesh which seems to fit our capat ties, in we pop and there we sti until canning day comes. We a not personally selected. We ju sort of select ourselves, and if v wind up in what we think is tl wrong bin we may curse our mise i able luck, but there we are, and v j are generally there because we we so small in some dimension that \ just couldn't help slipping throug And boar this in mind as you trav down the chute. Near the begi ning the crowd is so great and the seem9 so much competition amoi the little fellows that some chap mi roll past his proper destiny. But the end, after most of the sorting , done, so few are left that there's i slipping by. Mighty few travel t! whole course and wind up with tl i big boys at the end of the chul Mighty few are big enough.?R Wedlock.
