ranged for the occasion and was well
executed by the pupils of the school,

by Davis D. Moiae of Sumter.

Clarendon County to Be Sued,
tunning Times.
Judging from the records in the of
Iteg of the Judge of Probate, pro?
s' lings are about to be commenced
alnst Clarendon County in a suit
fof $2,000 for the lynching of Marion
ntey at Tindal's mill about April
if last year. The petition for letters
? I administration wero filed by the
law Arm of Davis and Wideman for
Madison Cantey the father of the boy
lynched. It will be remembered that
?ome time in the early part of last
year a negro boy was committed to
la.ll by magistrate Barwick for at?
tempting to murder Mr. Joe Minus, Jr.,
it Paxvllle, by waylaying him and
striking him in the head with a
brick; on the way to the tail, and
when at Tindal's mill, a party of men
overtook the officer with his prisoner,
carried tho prisoner away and shot
him to pieces. The parties connected
with this lynching have never been
found out, and we doubt if they ever
will be. but under the law tho legal
heirs of the deceased can bring suit
against the county for the sum of
$2,000. This is what is proposed to
be dono by the preliminary steps in
the Probable Court. The taxpayers
of Clarendon county will not relish
the idea of having a suit instituted
against them for the acts of irrespon?
sible parties, but should a jury be
found that will render a judgment
against tho county, it certainly will be
a case of making the innocent suffer
for the guilty.

Twenty-nine Graduates Receive Di?
plomas from Supt. Edmunds.
The Lincoln school closed Friday
night after a most successful term
under the administration of Principal
C. A. Lawson. Twenty-nine diplomas
were presented to graduates by Supl.

ercises which were of an intersting
nature and highly enjoyed by the
large audience of friends and rela?
tives of the graduates.

keeping, with the work of the school
The singing was especially good and
met with hearty applause from the
audience. The program was execut?
ed as originally planned and went
through in excellent style.
After presenting the diplomas Supt.
Edmunds made a few timely and ap?
propriate remarks. He addressed
words of encouragement and advice
to the graduates which should prove
of use to them in future. He paid
a tribute of respect to Miss Davis, a
teacher of the school who died dur?
ing the year.
His announcement that a complete
domestic science department would be
established in the school during the
next year caused a feeling of elation
among the patrons and pupils of the
school, who appreciate this action on
the part of the school board.
The exhibit in the show window of
O'Donnell & Co., this year was seen by
a large number of persons and was
of a greater variety and better class
of work than ever before. It is in?

Pocalla Springs New Notes.
Pocalla, May 30.?Judge J. A.
Hodge had the misfortune to lose a
very fine horse last Saturday. It was
only sick a few hours. This is a very
heavy blow to a farmer, especially at
this time of tho year.
Tho Paxville school had their an?
nual picnic at Pocalla last Tuesday.
Most of them came on the Northwes?
tern train. They had a bountiful din?
ner. While some were dancing the
balance wero trying to splash all of
the water out of the lake.
The choir of the First Methodist
Church enjoyed themselves very much
Friday night, partaking of a fish
stew and fried fish.
Temple Sinai Sabbath school will
have a picnic at Pocalla next Tues?
day.
The drought was in a small way
broken in this section Friday. It is
to be hoped we will have more rain
at an early date.
Lets talk about good roads a little.
Any one that thinks we don't need
them ought to drive from Sumter to
Pocalla one time, the road that is
traveled more than any other road in
the county. We are not knocking it,
for it has enough bumps on it al?
ready. We will just go that way un?
til one can't go any longer, then we
will go around.
