The oldeat (Bertha) Is the same girl that won the prise for the fastest runner at the Field Day ex? ercises in Humter last spring. The cotton crop will be rather short In this corner and should the weath? er continue good, It will all soon be gathered. Peas will also be short, also potatoeo on account of contin? ued dry wea:her.

I am, and have been for no dispensary, but I don't know whether to rejoice or not at the result. From what I hear whis? key must be sold (and plenty of it) in ftumter. I see where Mayor Jen? nings had Ave D. D.'s before him on Mouttay. the 8th Inst. and from hereabouts 1 hear a white man and a negro was drunk and fighting on the road coming from prohibition Sumter on Saturday the 6th. And again I hear that same day two white men went to Sunwter and when one got home he run his son. a child of H or 10 years, off from home; and before the ether one got home he went to slep |n a cotton patch. Now where did they get the whis? key? la Sumter, of course, but from whom? Now. It Is said that one of those men belongs to one of the clubs In Sumter. Now, did he get the boose for the others or did they all meet one of those blind animals go? ing loose. There is something sure wrong. If It's blind tiger or club boose that is losing drunk. Sure lots of folks get It. Well, might Dr. Herbert ask the question "Is the ' yoeng man jafe?" I say, "No. and never will be while whiskey can be procured so easily In Sumter, from what I hear. I don't know anything what Is going on In Sumter us I have not been theie since the 29th of April last. But In m? sources, if w Wakey Is snd wilt be sold.
