books and checked up his accounts
After a thorough examination the
books were found to be in good
shape and every thing about the
Office satisfactory.
The bright and attractive faces OF
the charming young lady teachers
attending the institute are enough tc
cause Il wave of sadness to peryade
the hearts Of staid old bachelors and
a lingering regret that they cannot
be school-boys again.
Mr.. II ID Reddick. with char
acteristic enterprise, is building a
third store between the two in
which he now does business. The
new store will be used to contain
the large stock OF furniture that
Mr. Reddick intends 10 offer his
customers this fall.
The teachers institute began here
last Monday under the management
of Professors Handy and Brown.
About 40 teachers have been enroll
ed and much interest is shown in the
daily exercises. A full account OF
the institute will be given next week
Miss Florence Benjamin has
been visiting Mr.. Jacobs family
during the past week. This at
tractive and deserving young lady
has been teaching in Georgetown
county for several years past,
where she has achieved the sue
cess that she we'll merits.
Mr.. A Poindexter Taylor, who
so successfully represents the FL
deity Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
has been here for the past week
looking after interests of his com,
pany. Mr.. Taylor is pleasant OF
manner and genial Of disposition
and we are always glad to have
him with us.
Our sanctum was irradi atea by
the sunny presence Of our old
friend, MIR. George Mitchum, last
Friday. We mean the adjective
sold" TO apply to friend and not to
George, as he is the youngest man

our honest palm he placed a silver
disc that emphasized the words OF
kindly regard he had for The RE-
CORD.
Several complaints have been
made by Our subscribers recently
on account Of the paper not being

cases not at all. We shall esteem
it a favor if every subscriber who
fails to get the paper on time will
drop US a card stating the fact.
The RECORD is mailed on Thursday
to every one of its subscribers, and
We want to trace up the matter
and find out the cause Of this IL

SERGT. BR|S10V'S LETTER.
HOW THE BOYS ARE FARlNG At
COLUMBIA.

WiIIamsburg's NewRecruits--The Pay
masters Visit-Roll CaIl-Accountof
a Court Martial-PersonaI Notes.
Columbia, S. c., July 23.-Af-
ter an absence OF nearly three
weeks from camp, | will again en-
deavor to pen a letter for the ben
elit Of the leaders of The COUNTY
RECORD.
l left camp about the fifth Of
July to attend the meeting of tie
State Press Association in the city
of Greenville. Before returning
here | went to Williamsburg coun-
ty. and while there secured a
number Of recuits. some of whom
l brought to Columbia last week.
| then had another trip in view,
but am now once more at my usual
work in camp.
Upon my return to camp Lee |
found that there had been a
"house moving" during my alb
sence. We are now located sew
era' hundred yards farther east
than we formerly were, and have
much larger tents. The new tents
too, have 'fiies" and are much
cooler than the old ones.
The Williamsburg boys. who
have recently joined the Battalion
seem to be all very we'll satisfied.
The following are the young men
who came in from Williamsburg:
is Mccullough, Jr., William J
Holleman, J Robert Cox, I Oliver
Altman, Reese L Wise, Hugh
Strong, W Pinkney Goodwin, A
Lee Epps, Logan Scott, J Walter
McElveen, McElveen, and
- Graham. These fine young
men will make good soldiers; in
deed, they now handle their guns
in way that shows that they
have been taking an interest in
their drills. and the indications
are that it will be only a very
short time before they will drill
as we'll as any men in the Bat
TALON.
Mr. John Joyner, Of Lake City,
a member Of Company D, who
has been home on a furlough, says
he lost flesh while away, notwith-
standing the fact that the young
people gave picnic in his honor
while he was at home. Private
Edwin Rodgers, of Lake City,
another company ID man, is one
of the most popular men in the
Battalion, while there is not a
finer qaartermaster sergeant to be
found than Charlie Joyner, Of the
same company.
The Battalion now has base
ball team. and there is good out
look for some interesting games
ere long.
The boys have given up all hope
of leaving Columbia at all this
summer and are. buying boards
and putting floors in their tents
and otherwise making themselves
comfortable.
While l was away the paymas-
ter visited the camp and Of course
there was general and genuine re-
joicing, Most OF the boys were
comnleteIv whustedD when the
paymaster arrived and now the
''brokc" ones are very few. This
was the first visit of the paymas-
ter to our boys, but in future they
will be paid off every month. OF

C1ngsesS,c0nvened last Monday.
This is The closing session of e, the
fifty fifth Congress and the -busi
ness that will come up for its con-
sidsrarion: is the most important
tor.;many years. Many changes
hapecoHrc to pass since Congress
adjourned last spring, after de-
claring war against Spain. And
this act-one Of the last of tile
s~ssiee-haA. led to results more
tremendous thah.was dreamed Of

prising the law-makiag body Of
the. United States. A'war has
been fought to a victorious finish,
new names have taken the place
OF lime: :honored heroes in the pub.
lie eve, and such a number Of new
topics, have come up for discussion
that 10 one who had been asleep
since the last session of Congress,
the manifold changes which have
taken place in the interval would
make him stare with the open-eyed
wonder of Rip Van. Wrinkle, upon
awakening from his twenty years
slumber among the kaalskill
mountains.
History has been made very
rapidly in our country OF late:
MaDy oil ideas have been dis>ipa-
ted, many: old idols shattered, and
the boundaries of our country ex-
sended more than ten thousand
miles. We are an incredibly big
ger nation than We were before
our latest war, and now we stand
. among the, great powers Of the
world, secondto nome ,...
With these marvellous changes
new conditions have arisen and II
is no wonder that perelexing qnes
tions will confront our statesmen
at this session Of Congress. More
than ever before we need now
men to represent US who are able
to cope. with these difficult prob
lens. Mistakes at this juncture
will be as costly as they are diff
cult to avoid. The Ship Of State
is'peMFously near.to shoals of dis
aster and steady hands are needed
TO steer her safely through.

CUNNINGHAM Convicted.

The Cunningham trial, which has
taken up good part of the past
month in the district court at Audu-
bon, was brought to close Wednes-
day and the jury after being out for
five hours, brought in verdict that
defendant. James Cunningham, was
guilty of murder in the second degree.
The case is one of the most famous in
the history of this county and on ac-
count of the atrocity of the crime
charged to defendant,-that of muir
dering his own offspring, babe two
weeks old-has perhaps elected as
much attention as any trial ever
brought before an Audubon county
jury.
The case throughout has oeen
strongly contested, both sides being
represented by able counsel; County
Attorney Brainard and VIM. Wonn
representing the state and B. 1. Salin-
ger, of Carroll, and j. H. Mosier, of
Audubon, appearing for defense. The
sharply contested points of law, the
long drawn out arguments, the elo-
quent pleadings of the attorneys kept
the court room crowded almost from
the beginning of the trial until the
jury retired.
aeaueIS Vi Cue journal are 1amlllar
with all the incidents leading up to
the trial; they have quietly held their
own opinions as to the guilt or inno-
cense Of the prisoner. The law has
taken it's course and Justice has de-
creed sad fate to young man.
AS the JOURNAL goes to press the
attorneys for defense are arguing mo-
ttion for new trial. Sentence will
probably be deferred until next week.
Arthur Palmer, who was indicted
for murder on the same charge with
Cunningham, was, by Judge Smith,
bound over until the March term of
court
