Kelly, Roadmaster of this division of "the Atlantic Coast Line, died Thursday after two weeks illness. Mr. Kelly -was originally from Teeh eys, N. C., but had been in the At? lantic Coast Line service for a num? ber of years and had resided at differ? ent times in a number of towns on that system. He was a competent and energetic and thoroughly practical 'railroad man, and had risen by merit to the position he held at the time of his death. He had the respect,, and confidence of his superiors and Sub? ordinates ' in the railroad service, and the esteem of all who knew him. He was cut off in the prime of life and his death is a particularly sad one on that account. His body was taken to Wil? mington, N. C., Friday morning for interment. Capt. T. J. Whitton, until recently road master of the Wilmington divis? ion Atlantic Coast. Line, died at 1.30 o'clock Monday at his home in Flor? ence, aged 62 years.

There has been a great improvement in the condition of the cotton crop this week and many farmers have suc? ceeded in clearing their fields of grass. The crop is, however, small and back? ward for this time of year. Watermelons are late this year as well as other crops. Very few if any have been brought to town for sale from the country thus far. A good many Florida and Georgia melons have been sold by fruit dealers.

The writer is no enemy of the dogs but a few less on the streets would be an improvement. A white man was picked up on the street by the police Wednesday after? noon and taken to the guard " house. He said he was very sick and from his appearance one would have been led to believe that he was telling the truth. When he began to revive he confessed that his illnsss was brought on by a pint and a half of dispensary liquor which he had imbibed within the space of an hour or two.

O s s s t s s s s s s t s s s The Lukens Lumber Co. has been hauling logs by -wagons from a dis? tance of three miles for the past few weeks as it has been impossible* on account of the wet weather to get logs out of the woods to the railroad in the lower part of the county where they have been cutting timber for sometime. The reel teams may not attend Char? lotte':?

J S Hagb BOQ & Co The Asheville Excursion train left the depot Tuesday morning at 7.08 with between a hundred and a hundred and twenty people on board, all of whom expect to spend two days and a half very pleasantly in Asheville, enjoying the bracing air and the cool breezes that blow from the summits of the peaks of the Blue Ridge. The number of excursionists will be increased by additions at all the stations between this city and Columbia and it was ex-r pected that in Columbia a large crowd would join the party. If five barrels of crude petroleum oil will sprinkle a block of macadam street in Columbia, five barrels will probably be sufficient to sprinkle the macadamized portion of Main Street, for the blocks are longer and the streets much wider in Columbia than here. The cost of five barrels of crude Dil will not be great and the experi? ment is worth trying, as has been said many times before. A large stag party had a fish fry md barbecue'at Cain's Mill on Thurs lay in honor of the Declaration of independence and in commemoration )f the freeedom and liberty of man? kind. They had lots to eat, an ad?? mate supply of soda water, fizz and >ther harmless beverages, cigars to ?moke and lots of good-fellowship ind pleasure. Beneath the primeval ;rees, beside the running stream they rot close to Nature's heart, enjoyed ;hemselves simply and innocently, had un like boys, and, like boys, also, rollected an assortment of ticks, red jugs and various creeping, biting in ;ects that.would delight the heart of tn entomologist. They also got sun >urnt-which accounts, plausibly, for he red nos^s and ruddy cheeks. The rourth o? July is a great and glorious ?ccasion. when properly appreciated md rightly spent.

The big skylight that lights and ventilates the office in the store of O'Donnell & Co., fell in Wednesday owing to defective construction. The large and heavy panes of glass, of which the skylight was composed, fell with a tremendous crash into the office and were shattered into thousands of pieces on the desks and other office furniture. Mr. O'Donnell and others in the office had a narrow escape from serious injury. It happened that all of the glass did not fall at once, the first pane striking on the stairway back of the office and servinga s a warning to those under the skylight to get out of the way. The other panes fell at short intervals as the frame work of the skylight gave way, and those who had been in the office stood by and saw the heavy glass fall with terrible force where they had been sitting a moment before. After the accident the skylight opening, was covered with canvass to serve as a temporary protection against the wea? ther until a new skylight can be put up. Base Ball at Lynchburg. A ball team composed of Sumter ball players, went to Lynchburg Thurs? day |and in the afternoon met the Lynchburg team on the diamond. The ( game was interesting and both teams . made many fine plays. The Sumter ?. team was the stronger, however, and won out with the score standing Sum? ter. 9: Lynchburg, 1.
