Prominent Citizen Dead.

Charleston, S. C., Dec. 28.-At an early hour this morning fire in the brick store buildings at 116 and 120 Market street destroyed buildings and damaged adjoin- ing premises to some extent. The build ings were partially occupied by baker and a fish dealer and were owned by Mrs. l.. J. McGruder of Paris, France. The total loss is probably $10000 and is nearly all covered by insurance. There are strong reasons for believing the ori- gin to have been incendiary.

The Picnic mentioned in last weeks
items is uncertain, owing to the fact
that Rev. j.. L. Gardner is a member

cluded at once, that horse races and
dances must go; hat our Lyceum
is for the advantage of the boys
and girls, horse races and dances be-
ing not in it. We may therefore have
a rousing good little picnic with a APP
propriate amusement, such as speak

There has been no special election

Strange isn't it that some people about

Of beer, should be among the first ones
TO cry for water when it comes to
times of drouth. such as we are having
Just now. Yet. in spite OF the dry
weather, there seems to be about the
usual amount Of business going on.
Harvesting of small grain in this

quite a number have begun threshing.
oats and rye are quite good. and corn

Mrs. Carolina Gulick has Just re-

old home in Kentucky, where nearly
all of her relatives live. Mrs. Gulick
IS n OF a family of seventeen child

She reports plenty if not too much
rain, graiu badly rusted, fruit plenty
but of poor quality. Darkies gener-
ally prosperous in money and intelli-

what is termed the poor white trash.
In methods Of farming, they are many
years behind the times. Think Of
two men running a binder, one riding
the near lead horse while the other
sits in the seat to work the ~leavers.
Small trees with limbs loped off are
snaked TO the house and cut into
stove wood, to be cut as used. Mrs.
Gulick says car load after car loaded
with fruit and melons are side
tracked and left to rot. Times are so
hard and money so scarce that none
but the rich buy. The land is held
IN large tracts and owned by the few
while the masses live a hand to

Our station agent. Mr.. Weather

land lies very low, in fact in wet seas

seasons have been so dry that ponds
have dried up and today can be seen
that luNurient corn-fields have taken
their place. The river is at a VERY

genial County Clerk Eplett, Sheriff

number of others came down to
Georgetown TO witness a match game
of ball between the Lancaster and
Georgetown mines.
The game was holly contested and
for a time very unequal, but finally
resulted in victory for Georgetown by
a score OF IS 70 II. Al first the Lam
caster boys had everything their own
way. making twelve tallies before
Georgetown had one. and then for
some unaccountable reason. went to
pieces, played horse and allowed
Georgetown 10 win the game.
