This new board is equipped to take care of 105 additional lines. Two day operators are now kept on duty all the time. Many new poles have recently been placed and a number of the frequently troublesome lines cleared so that communication may be had over them without disturbing half dozen or so homes at the same time as a result of crossed or tangled wires. Many new phones have recently been installed and a new directory is in process 01 maxing, wiui impruveu facilities as a guarantee of better service we see no reason why the local company should not extend its system until every home in town is put in direct toudi with the doctor, the preacher, the druggist, the gro- i cer, the undertaker etc. o Bryan P. 0. Discontinued There is no longer a post office at Bryan. The Bryan office was discontinued on June 1, and the patrons of the office are being served by rural carrier on route No. 3. For a long time the office was known as Taft, a few years ago its name was changed to Bryan. Now it is absorbed by a Salters route. Taft is the railroad station on the Seaboard Air T.in?- l ano and Salters the freiirht and express stations on the Atlantic Coast Line. No express office is maintained at Taft, and we are advised that the freight station is in the prepay class. 0 Another Playhouse Broken lrp Deputy Sheriff Cockfield and other officers made a raid on the lower end of the county this week, and in the Cedar Creek neighborhood, on the county line road near the Santee river, 30 miles from Kingstree W. K. Emanuel, Henry and John Ward were arrested it is alleged for operating a distillery, and turning out a product known as "Monkey" whiskey. The officers captured and distroyed one still and five barrels of mash. Also four gallons of the "Monkey" brand liquor which they brought as evidence to Kingstree. An effort on the part of the operatore was madp to. and a Brood deal of the whiskey was distroyed before the officers could get hold of it. The parties arrested were turned bverto the Federal authorities, and will be called to Charleston to answer the charge of operating an illicit distillery. Thus a second "playhouse" has been broken up within the borders of Williamsburg during the past week by the ruthless, merciless hand of the law. o Train Strikes Cow Northbound train No. 80 struck a cow near the depot yesterday morning. The animal belonged to a colored man and was dragging a block and chain. In attempting to cross the track the block became fastened to the track and the cow could not get away. The engineer slowed down, and the cow might have escaped unhurt had she not become frightened and rushed at the engine when it was about to pass her. The cow's horns were knocked off but she was not apparently hurt otherwise. o WATT'S JEWELRY STORE .Tust received a beautiful assort ment of Ivory tiped, silk Parasols, rain proof.

Monday night was the night of the graduating exercises. The gradating , class was composed of Misses Serena Lee, Lizzie Gordon. Margaret Daniel, Dordie McGill, Messrs. James Sullivan, Hampden Montgomery, and William Cooper. The speeches and papers were all exceptionally good, and of course the will and prophecy were both interesting. Rev. Mr. Bull delivered an address to the class which was noteworthy. It was indeed a pleasure to have Mr. Bull here once more. After the address, Mr. Bull delivered the diplomas?every member of the class received a State High School diploma, that speaks well for our school. The exercises closed with the class song. Let us take more interest in our school, take the advice William Cooper gave us. Of course when our school wins we are proud of her, but let's take more interest in her at all times and make it possible for her to always be a winner. Death of Mrs. T. J. Nelson's Brother Mrs. Tena Nelson received a message Sunday from New York informing her of the death of her brother Mr. J. H. Balster, which occurred at Bellvue Hospital that afternoon. Mr. Balster was about 38 years of age and a civil engineer by profession. He was stricken down 3ome time ago with the flu, from which he never fully recovered. The deceased is a native of Anderson, and up to a few years ago his people in South Carolina had not heard from him since the Spanish-American war, in which he was for a long time believ ed to nave lost nis uie. The body of the deceased was taken to his old home at Anderson for interment. Mrs. Tena Nelson left Monday for that city to be present at the funeral. o Our Advertisers C.
