R. 11 mmmm At O'Connor's Bakery you can find a large supply of New Cabbage and Irish Potatoes* Big Business in Bees. Ellison the Bee Man from Stateberg was in town yesterday with a load of honey. He says that be has been quite busy lately in filling orders for bees and queens. He had Sb order a short time ago from a man in Pennsylvania for 400 pounds of working bees and 400 queen bees. He could only under? take to fill one fourth of the order in the time Ispecified, and he jost finished that a few days agoJ The same party bas indicated that he may want 1,000 pounds of bees next season, and a proportionate number of queens. Many of our readers may be curious to know what a man would do with so many bees, and we will state for their information, that bee keeping is a big business in the North, and that many apiaries hateas many as 1,000 hires. Owing to the extreme cold weather, however, the bees are housed in cellars during the winter, and they do not commence raising brood as early as in our climate. It is important when spring begins to bav? a stock of old' Workers ready to take in the hattest of honey, and it bas been found that it pays to ship them from the South, sod thereby sate several weeks time. The bees are put up in wire cloth crates, holding several pounds each, and with sticks across for the bees to support themselves upon, and are shipped by empress. The queens are shipped by mail in small cages made of a piece of board about two inches square with a hole bored into it and covered with wire cloth, and they seldom fail to reach their destination all right after several days confinement. On account of the timidity Of expressmen, and careless handling Mr. Ellison suffered more loss than he expected in the transportation of the 100 pounds of worker bees ; but he thinks he caa remedy that here-" after by making the packages smaller, which will obviate the danger of suffocation, when th? bees are thrown from their support into'a pile by careless handling. He says that our section is well suited for bee keeping, and be is much encouraged by his succ?ss. Shiloh Items. SHILOH, S. C., May 14, 1888. iff. Eaiior : I write you this beautiful and lovely morning a few items. Oh tb? evening Of May the 5th, we heard a distant sound Which denoted rain, and by and by we notic? ed in the Western horizon a dark clond as? cending which seemed to be heavy laden, and about 7 o'clock it proved lt was, and the glad hearts were many. Since that time farmers have got ? good rise of cotton, and don't forget a jrp len di ti rise of something else in the shape of grass-as Some Would* say, Genera! Green. General Greeu has made" a decided effort to give some trouble DO doubt and lt wi?? take something besides shot and powder to master this General. I think it will take horses, ernies, plows, hoes, men and women, which possess a great deal of physi? cal power and e?ergy, but we all hope to pull through Sud have our produce ready for market in due time: The he ilth of our shrronndiogs seems to bs' good. Mr. C. T. Player, Sr., seems to he one of onr foremost faimers as well aa merchants. His clerk told me he had corn silks and cotton shapes. Your correspondent Bad the pleasure on May ll tb, inst., to attend a birthday dinner given by Mr. Ezra White to his son, Baxter, on bis 21st birthday. Baxter is one of life's promising young me. I hope be may be suc? cessful in life. Those present on the occasion beside the family, were Misses Emma Moore, Leane Truluck, Bertie and Mink Caraway, Mr. Reynolds, of Darlington, and Messrs. Levi Lankston, Ingram Moore, Elison Moore, Samuel Toralinson, Chas. Truluck, Walter Green, and Mr. L. Mims and wife. The program embraced croquet playing and music, Miss Emma Moore presiding at organ. Ina short time we were invited to the dining room. The bountres, the bounties. We all partook of the same heartily, espe? cially Mr. I-M-. QUOD. -wm*- HM-B Bishopville Items, BISHOPVILLE, S. C., May 14, ?S?3. We all were completely startled to hear of the shooting of Mr. Joe James, several miles from Bishopville. Just as he finished sapper and walked to the piazza be was shot. About 40 back shot were picked out. The assassin must have fired both barrels. The supposition is that the intent was to rob also, as it was gen? erally known that be had a large sum on bis person. .Such lawlessness ought to surely be put down with a strong hand. Thekilling of an old man in his own piazza 1 Surely it is time for our jurymen to regard their oaths and punish severely high-handed lawlessness. There was quite an enjoyable picnic given by the young people of Mt. Zion Saturday at Swimming Pens. There were several charm? ing young ladies from Sumter down. Every one seemed to enjoy themselves, and if they did not it was because of their own bash? fulness. There was also quite a heavy rain and hail storm about 3 o'clock Saturday. "Mr! Skin? ner's cotton was cut up so bad that in all probability be will have to plant it all over. Several of the old farmers of that section say that it was tbe heaviest fall of rain that they have ever seen. Bishopville escaped with but a slight shower. Theie will be a match game of Base Ball between the Bishopville and Mt. Zion nines Friday afternoon on the Bishopville grounds. OLD SPORT. - T ty*. ? - Hews from Florence. FLORENCE, May 14, 1888.
