Free Delivery Soon?New Firm In To wn?Personal. Lake City. March 6:?Sunday afternoon quite a little storm struck this section. It came about six o'clock, and was a combination of hail, wind and rain. The two flrst named headed the procession, and for a few minutes had the undivided attention of all. The hail was very thick, and being driven by fierce wind struck with considerable force. Some say it was as bad a hailstorm as they ever saw. An idea of the strength and 9peed of the wind may be gained from the fact that it blew down the smoke stack of the electric power house and partly unroofed ihe building. The rain poured in torrents for something like two hburs and did not cease entirely until about 11 o'clock. Ex-Governor Patterson made a speech here last Wednesday night on nrohibition. He had a numerous audience, and was given respectful attention. The speech was devoid of sensational features or extreme denunciations Dr A fI Williams and the other memfc r the board of fisheries are jii a trip of inspection in and around Bull's Bay and Cape Romaine.

Up to last Sunday the Baptists had something over sixteen thousand dollars subscribed towards building the new meeting house they are getting ready to put up. Young Mr Humphries of Timmonsville filled his regular monthly appointment here last Sunday, and reluctantly returned home Monday morning. W^ien school closes he won't come here longer. Mr S J Gasque went down to Kingstree Monday and spent the day there on business. Messrs Ashton H Williams and W Wesley Singletary attended the inaugural ceremoies in Washington the first of the week. Not having been offered portfolios in the Cab inet, they returned home Tuesday morning. Mr H S McGee, of this town, and Mr H H King, of Kingstree, have formed a partnership under the name of McGee & King, and are opening up a business in Kingstree. They will, of course, deal in horses and mules. Mr McGee will continue his business here, and Mr ?ing will be the manager of the Kingstree stables. Owing to the damage done to the power house by the storm Sunday afternoon, the town has been in darkness since men. Some young men returning from Florence Sunday night left their car in Lynch's mill pond.

AGAINST AMERICA ' ENTIRELY CORRECT, ZIMMERI ! MANN SAYS, FOR GERMANY TO PROVIDE FOR FUTURE. London, March 6:?The German j government's plan for involving i Mexico and Japan in war with the I United States in event of hostilities I between Germany and America was defended in an address before the reichstag by the foreign secretary, Dr Alfred Zimmermann, as quoted in the Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam. Replying to objections raicoH hv n SnoiAliat mpmhpr to the ! Mexican proposals, Dr Zimmermann said: "We were looking out for all of us in the event of there being the prospect of war with America. It was a natural and justified precaution." (The version of Dr Zimmermann'9 remarks received by wireless from the official Overseas News agency of Berlin reads at this point: "That Germany looked about for allies is the event of the autbreak of war with America is natural and JUOUIICU IViVSI^llWi / "I am not sorry, that through its publication in America, it also became known in Japan. "For the dispatch of these instructions a secure way was chosen which at present is at Germany's disposal." i (The wireless version reads: "For the transmission of this dispatch the safest way was chosen which was at our disposal ot that time.") "How the Americans came into possession of the text which went to America in special secret code we do ; not know. That these instructions should have fallen into American hands is a misfortune, but that does ! not alter the fact that the step was ! necessary for our patriotic interests.
