BROGDON.
Brogdon, May 1.-On Saturday last
*we had a most delightful visit to the
"beautiful town of Manning. As we
~passed alonar the public road we could
Tnt note the great improvements in
some of the homes since our last trip
.through those parts. The neat resi?
dence- of Mr. W. M. Davis, with its
porches adorned by climbing roses and
a yard full of the choicest flowers,
-graceful evergreens and lovely ferns
-aras much to be adinired. Mr. Davis
is ose of our best farmers, as is seen
ty his field, of corn near the roadside,
.which is quite superior in size and col
ear to any we have seen this season.
Stopping a short while in Alcolu we
.were particularly struck with Mr. DI
CL Shaws's elegant home, which has
recently been remodeled and painted
-gTeen (nature's lining)-being the
predominating color of this lovely
3iome. While there the electric lights
-were turned on and a scene of beauty
presented itself.
*
Mr. Hinson has also remodeled and
painted his residence ^rhich is very
pretty'indeed.
Upon reaching Manning we were
?harmed with the beautifully shaded
streets and fine hort %s. Perhaps the
season of the year hud something to
do with our enjoymeLt Things are
always prettier and we perhaps more
appreciative during the il o wer season
than any other time of the year.
Farmers around Brogdon have fin?
ished planting their crops and seem to
%e getting good stands.
Gardens are doing nicely; peas and
cabbage are coming in.
Mr. Geo. Brogdon of the Atlantic
Coast Une Company, paid a short vis
?. to his father's family recently.
Mrs. Allen and children of Waycross
?re visiting in the neighborhood
Miss Vaughan Gritton, who has been
teaching here for some time past, has
closed her school and will return to?
day to her home in Laurens, much to
'tte regret of her numerous friends.
Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Bryan of Alcolu
?nd Miss Eula Epps of Kingstree vis?
ited at Mr. W. T. Brogdon's yesterday.
LOUELLEN.
Xouellen; May 1.-Our community
SB in fair health. Have we not been
husy, though some are, or ought to be,
tmsy yet 'till they are through plant?
ing, your correspondent among them.
If reports are true the crop of can?
didates for Justice of the Peace will
1? abundant
fertj ?X is about time that this section of
the country be represented in some of
the big offices.
One or two marriages in our com
infinity have taken place; a Mr. Trues
dale to Miss Kathleen sanders, eldest
daughter of William Sanders and Mr.
Bruce McLeod to Mrs. Manly Allen.
Now that the drought is broken our
small grain, which was suffering bad?
ly, is looking much botter.
Mr. G. H. Lenoir of Camden passed
through our community en route to
Latta in Marion county.
We feel pained to learn of the death
cf Mrs. Helen Brown Sibert. The
"world is poorer by her absence from
lt None but pleasant recollections
are associated with her. Dr. Brown
is passing through deep waters just
now, but he will be sustained.
Messrs. G. W. Wingate and the
Cresswell brothers of Dalzell and
ISastman, spent the day of Saturday
3ast at Durkin's mill fishing, but we
had not the pleasure of meeting them.
Wingate is a good angler, when he
fails you might as well put up your
line. There js a miller in these parts
-who is skilled, too, but he ought to be
he has so much practice.
The acreage of cotton here may be
slightly increased over last year, but
ft is very slight.
Have been handling some bees, but
not with gloves off. They are no re?
specters of persons, as I have reasons
to know. A swollen neck and ear, an
eye almost closed are my* witnesses.
Bees regard the proprieties more
than some of us. It was in vain that I
endeavored to get a tremendous
swarm to dispossess a weaker colony.
They just would not do it.
I tried to be a utilitarian, but those
~%ees would not help me a bit. Here
'was a great big swarm for which I
-was perfectly willing and ready to sac?
rifice a very weak colony. Did you
ever see the like among people? When
a bee gets Up your pants if you have
a hit of life in you it will show itself
then. I know what I am talking
about I have read of bees in peoples'
nats, but they are not to be compared
to a bee in your pants. Hagood.
WEDGEFIELD.
Wedgefield, May 3.-The Wedgefield
X>emocratic club met on last Saturday
afternoon and reorganized, re-electing

E. E. Aycock, F. E. Thomas and W. E.
Troublefield.
Member of Executive Committee-J.
B. Ry a m
It being a representative gathering
of the community a matter was
brought to the attention of the club,
though not political, but of much more
importance, it being the condition of
the public highway near the Wilson
place, south of our town.
The following committee was ap?
pointed to appear before the county
board and memorialize said board ask?
ing assistance of the county .chain gang
to better the unsanitary conditions ex?
isting at and near above named place
as the result of stagnant water and no
means of outlet. The following com?
pose the committee: A. E. Aycock, J.
i B. Crouch and W. H. Ramsey.
LYNCHBURG.
Lynchburg, S. C., May ?, 1906.
Rain is much neede over this .section
to bring up the late planted colt .rn
corn. Gardens are badly damaged and
in some places t)gey are almost a
failure as the consequence- of the long,
dry spell.
The prospect for a good oat crop
is blighted and in some places no.th
I ing like an average crop will be made
without early and copious showers
More hay has been shipped to this
point this season than ever before in
one year, and the demand for it is
steady and undiminished.
Another mad dog was killed in this1
town a couple of days ago. It ap?
peared to be a genuine case of hydro?
phobia. Old Mr. Frank McIntosh was
off in his field not long before the mad
dog was killed, and hearing the cry,
"iook out, mad dog!" he looked
around and saw the dog slowly ap?
proaching him. Having nothing to de?
fend himself with, he ran to a large
o-ci tiee and attemper! to *? imb it,
but the tree was far too large to
n.e-t his arms aroun ii, and so he as?
cended CL ly a few feet when he gave
?ut or lc rt his hold aa?1. Iel i back to
the ground, catching on his feet,
which, ever faithful in time of need,
took the old gentleman back to his
mule which he had first lost sight
of. He then took care of himself and
the mule too. The old gentleman is
generally quite fearless, but a "mad
dog" was too much for him, and
who could blame him? .
Our little town is moving along fine?
ly now, and out of twelve stores, eight
are doing a rushing business. There
is some talk of building and operating
a trolly line from this place to Shiloh
and from there lo that prosperous
section, known as the "Truelug Sec?
tion," but, of course, this enterprise
is not reduced to a certainty.
Hon. D. E. Smith returned here
from Washington considerably fatigu?
ed, but left again this morning for
some place in North Carolina.
Our Graded School Commencement
was the 17th instant. The teachers
have labored hard and faithfully, and
need the rest ahead of them. Prof.
Brunnon has not been at all well since
that big K. or P. dinner in Mayes
ville on the 26th, but says he ate con?
tinuously and we believed lt, aa "his
word is his bond,' truly. We.will say
more about our school later, bu: will
say this: Every body is pleased with
the management and 'progress of this
school.
Mr. WTalton J. McLeod is visiting
Mr. H. S. Toons in Red Springs for
the purpose of recuperation after a
spell of fever.
Mr. D. Geo. Kilpatick has accepted
a situation in Clio, Marlboro County,
and will be missed in this town.
Hon. T. G. McLeod was in town yes?
terday and day before.
Mr. Stokes, father of Messi's. J. G.
and G. W. Stokes, whom I reported
very ill recently, is some better.
Mr. Barni Kennedy, of Sumter, is
now a resident of this town. V
DALZELL.
Dalzell, May 5.-Miss Jennie Rich?
ard's school closed yesterday; she will
ipend some time with friends in the
Mechanicsville section before return?
ing to her summer home near Ashe
vile.
Misses Louise Gillespie, of Dalzell
and Miss Roberta Hall of Providence
will unite in having their school pic
iic at Providence Springs next Friday.
This social gathering is looked forward
to with great pleasure by both young
ind old of this community for when
these accomplished young ladies'
names are associated with an under?
taking it means success in every sense
of the word.
Dalzell will not have a baseball
team this year, but the fans out here
i-e very much enthused over the pros?
pects of Sumter playing league ball
-his summer. We feel assured with
iuch men as Chap Huger. Willie Bult
man. Dr. McCutchen and others be?
hind the gun Sumter will wind up at
the top of the ladder. Columbia has
taken our justly deserved name of
"Game Cocks" from us and sorry to
say abused it to some extent, for the
word within itself means victory, and
Columbia seems to be doomed to the
cellar, but if Sumter intends to put a
ast and winning team in the field then
we will suggest the very appropriate
little name of the "Reos," if j
anyone wishes to know the
full meaning of the word they
will have to ask Tom Jenkins,
because when he passed Dalzell the
other day he was going so fast we
couldn't catch it.
DU BOSE CROSS ROADS.
DuBose Cross Roads, May 6,-An
occurrence of an unusual character
took place about this section a short
time since, but I was not informed of
it until too late for your last issue.
Three young men riding in a- buggy,
coming from towards Bishopvilie going
towards Sumter behaved themselves
in a very unseemly manner from Car?
ter's Crossing to Scarborough's MilL
They were not very particular in the
use of language and their conduct
was in keeping with the same. Sever?
al instances are mentioned to me,,
where ladies had to retire into their
dwellings, while they were passing. It
has been a long time since anything of
'he kind has happened about here and
it is very objectionable. I heard the
names of two of the party, but I have
forgotten them and am glad I have. I
write this by request.
Mr. Magnus Cummings on the Star
Route and Mr. Willie Watson on the
R. F. D., are about as prompt, faith?
ful and accommodating in their duties
as any two men you will find in the
State.
Mr. T. Scott DuBose's baby is still
very sick. Miss Brunson, the trained
nurse, was taken sick a few days after
she got to Mr. DuBose's and had to go
baek to to Sumter.
Mr. Tom DuBose's family are im?
proving, but still sick.
REMBERTS.
Rembert, May 7.-We had a fine
rain last night and it is still raining
this morning. This is the first time
our land has been wet since planting
time and good stands of cotton will
now be had throughout the entire
community. Oats were needing ?ain
badly, but this rain will make them
and where soda has been applied they
are looking well and I trust a fine
crop v;ill be made.
The Cotton Growers' Association of
Rcfiing Creek met here last Saturday
and I am glad to see the interest taken
as shown by the attendance at meet?
ings. One good feature we have
adopted is the president appoints a
member at each meeting to either give
us a talk or write an essay on any
subject he may select pertaining to
agriculture. W. C. Harllee read an
essay on "Hog Raising" in this com?
munity last Saturday and the presi
ident appointed W. J. Young to either
give us a talk or write an article to be
read before the club at our next meet?
ing on any subject of his own selection.
So let us turn out gentlemen as it
will repay you to hear Mr. Young's
address.
McLeod's church Sunday school will
celebrate "Children's Day" next Sat?
urday, the 12th inst. The exercises
consisting of a very pretty program
will commence at ll o'clock, after
which a basket picnic will be held on
the church ground. Bethesda church
Sunday school has been invited to
unite with us and other friends and
relatives outside of the neighborhood
will also attend.

spending some time with her brother,
Mr. B. F. Brockington, will return to
her home at Plantersville tomorrow.
MANNING ITEMS.
From the Manning Times.
Chief of Police E. P. Briggs of Sum?
merton is after the fire fiends who
have recently been applying the torch
to stores and other buildings in that
thriving town, and he passed through
here today from Sumter. Chief Briggs
tells us that he has now locked up
Jim Brunsen, and the evidence against
him is strong.
Died yesterday morning after an
illness of about two weeks, Mrs. Her
mion Orene Dickson, nee Jenkinson,
aged about 25 years.
Died at her home near New Zion,
last Sunday night, Mrs. Daisy Buddin,
wife of Mr. E. J. Buddin, aged about

the horse and got until some other ?
trouble there and was arrested and

cause of it all.
The water works is progressing nice?
ly now. The tower is up and the res?
ervoir is being put together and they
expect io flood the mains today or to?

them and test the pumps.
It is still dry around us although
there have been good rains at Sumter
and Camden. Ve:y little cotton is up
and what is up looks as if it will die.
Bad stands of corn are reported and
the oat crop is suffering at its critical
period. j
Rev. V. R. Gaston, former pastor of j
Mt. Zion church, left last week for

president of the branch. Miss Tillie

provided abundant amusement for the
young and old alike. When arrange?
ments for the entertainment were be?
ing made -the "inner man" was not

DURANT.
The closing exercises of Miss Mc
Faddin's school were held at *.he
school house May 4. The children

training they had received during the
year. The d?oate was one of the
most entertaint.-g features oe the ev;';

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
Items of Interest Condensed and Par?
agraphed for Quick Reading.
A very sad and in all probability a
fatal accident occurred a few miles
from Bardwell on Mr. Johnson
Black's place Wednesday morning
about 10:30 o'clock. Mr. Calvin
Creech, a son-in-law of Mr. Black
operates a turning lathe for Mr.
Black, the power for which is obtain?
ed from a gasoline engine. At the
time of the accident Messrs. Johnson
Black, Hasin Black and Calvin Creech
were near the engine. Mr. Creech in
shutting off the engine in some way
I got his left arm caught in the driving
wheel and in an instant was hurled
from his feet. Before the others pres?
ent could give him any assistance his
arm was broken and mangled in a
dreadful manner and his skull across
the forehead was badly crushed in and
his face lacarated in several places.
Drs. E. L. Patterson and R. C. Kirk?
land were sent for immediately and
have been giving him every possible
attention. It is not expected, howev?
er, that he will recover. Mr. Creech
is about 2S years of age, is married
and has two children.
Three midshipmen dismissed from
the naval academy for hazing have
been recommended by the president
for restoration to tlie Academy with
a loss of one year. The midshipmen
are Worth W. Foster, a member of
the first class, and George H. Melvin
and Richard L. DeSaussure, members
of the third class.
Mr. W. H. P. McMurray, an excel?
lent citizen, and successful farmer
who lives five miles north of Lancas?
ter, lost his two barns and stables by
"fire Wednesday night about midnight.
Three of his five horses also perished
in the flames. A lot of glass, farming
implements, fodder, etc., were also
burned. Mr. McMurray's loss is fully
$1,500. He had no insurance. He is
satisfied that the fire was the work of
an incendiary.
At a meeting of the board of trus?
tees and faculty of the Medical Col?
lege of the State of South Carolina,
held recently, the letters of resigna?
tion of Dr. Francis L. Parker, as pro?
fessor of anatomy and also as dean
of the faculty were read and, after con?
siderable discussion, were accepted.
Mr. A. C. Jones, of Newberry, some
time ago announced with positiveness
that he would make the race for gov?
ernor. He now finds that "circum?
stances will not permit" him to make
the race. There were few who ever
thought he would make the race.
The school patrons cf Willis School
district, Marlboro county, met Friday
and discussed the matter of using
dispensary funds. A vote was taken
and it was unanimously decided to
support to trustees in the refusal to
accept the dispensary funds.
It will be remembered that the Ca?
tawba Indians are now making claim
for considerable property in York
county. The agent of this tribe has
already been there, and made a study
of the claim. He appeared before the
committee of the general assembly and
presented the claim, but received so
little encouragement that he preceed
ed to denpunce things in a pretty live?
ly-style. The inference is that the Ca
tawbas will take their case to the Fed?
eral courts, and judging from the ver?
dict that has been secured through the
Federal courts, involving something
like four million dollars, those bring?
ing the suit are no doubt encouraged,
and the State, or the property holders
involved in the Catawba district, will
have to do something to protect their
interests.

Crrine Treatment Is to Bc Used at
Home Without Publicity, or Loss of
Time From Business.

craving, and the drink will not be
missed.

MINERS AND OPERATORS HAVE
AGREED.
i _
Ac tion of the Miners' Sub-Scale Com
I mittee Was Ratified in New York
Yesterday-Peace fer Three Years
j More.
Scranton, Pa., May 8.-Peace is as
! sured in the anthracite coal fields for
j the next three years. An agreement
j to continue the award of the strike
? commission for a period of three years
! was entered into in New York yester
i day by the operators and the miners'
! sub-scale committee was ratified at
the. final session of the mine workers
held here this morning.
The men will go back to work a trifle
disappointed perhaps, but conscious of
the fact that they have not gone back
a single step and are maintaining con?
ditions more satisfactory than at any
time in the history of the organization.
Several points, not apparent at first
glance, were obtained by the miners
yesterday. ?,?r:c is thrt the pact sign?
ed yesterday is the first agreement
ever mada by the anthracite mine
president and secretary as officers of
the anthracli? union for the men in
that organization. In addition to this
President Mitchel! has secured the
verbal promise from the operators to'
look, into the cases of the lowest paid
workers with a view to remedying the
wage injustice complained of.
The ratifying of the agreement was
unanimous. Following this action
another vote was taken directing that
work be resumed Monday next and
repair men go back on Thursday. The
convention adjourned shortly after.
Mitchell presided. He will issue a
statement later rn the day formally
calling off the suspension.
