We are having fine seasons for cotton
to come up and we have fair stands of
corn. GardenHtruck is doing we'll.
Mrs. W j. Ards has pole beans that
have commenced to put out runners

has very sick child.
Mr.. O. D. Harvin, Of Pinewood,
called on me yesterday with a petit
ton for my friend, H. L. Scarbor-
ough to be appointed clerk of the
county.
We are all very sorry to hear of the
death of our friend and brother, shep-
ard Nash. We may get as good a clerk
again, but not better. We have
lost three as good men in that Office
(W. II. Cuttino, J. D. Graham and
Shepard Nash as ever lived in Sum
ter.
I see that the Confederate crosses Of
honor are to be given out to the
veterans on the 10th Of May, which
falls on Sunday this year. I would
suggest that we meet on the 18th, as
that is the day court will convene.
There are good many vets that want
to attend from this section. Ny old
Sergeant, D. r. Lide, of Pinewood,
suggests an idea-how he found or met
and was known by several of his old
comrades at a reunion Of -. @. VS.
a few years ago-which / think would
be good thing at the coming re-
union in Columbia or New Orleans.
It is just to print the name of COM
pany and regiment on q card or white
paper and fasten it on the front of
your bat. If all will do that it will
be so easy to see who you are meeting.

ELKS HIVE Have
HID IN ELEGANT TINE
They Prosecuted Thirty-seyen
Unfortunate Candidates in Sum-
ter For Seven Hours.

The Elks drifted into town yesterday
morning tired out from their trip to
Sumter, but teeming with stories Of
a glorious time. They were all look
ing for sleep and got it last night for
the first time since they arose on Fri
day morning, for Sumter was an all
night town on the 18th. From the dis
connected tales which the local Elks
disclose it was gathered that they ar
rived in the Game Cock City bright
and early Friday morning. During
the day they met the prospective can
didates and those wac were to enter
tain them.
The Initiation started at O'Clock in
the afternoon and continued, with an
intermission for supper, until 2
o'clock.
The Elks relate with satisfaction
aud ghoulish glee that they crowded
more cruel persecution and harrasslng
tortures upon the innocent victims IN
that time than has ever been seen in
the local lodge rom. Verify the fixing
of the antlers seem to be terrible
process. Thirty seven novices crossed
the sands, that awful desert cleaning
with an iridescent heat. Bounding
alone and stepping high" each time
he raised foot, the unfortunate was
led into the glories Of Elkdom and
finally became one of the "Best Peo-
pie on Earth
Three distinct street parades were
given by the candidates and their su-
periors. Songs with band accompani-
ment were feature of this part OF the
day.
The traditional banquet was given
at the mysterious and always evident
hour of IL o'clock.-The State, April

The LINE FENCE MURDER CASE.
lennie C. Meyers Found Guilty
of the Murder of S. W. James
in Williamsburg County, But
Recommended to Mercy.

Kingstree, April 1s.-The case
against Lonnie Z. Meyers, charged
with the murder Of s.. ". James,
near Scranton, in June last, was con-
tinued Yesterday. Some dozen witness
es were examined For the defence, in
cluding the wife of the defendant and
the defendant himself The line, Of
the defence was that the dead man
fJamesl bad been meddiing with Mey-
ers and nagging at him for some years
before the killing, and especially dur
ing toe year before the tragedy. The
defendant himself admitted on the
stand that he had told James that if
be put another rail On the fence in
dispute he would kill him. That on
the day of the killing he had gone to
see James to talk the matter over with
him to try and settle the matter, and
took his gun with him as protection.
James had beat him before with q
chair and had run him out of the
field with a gun, and defendant was
afraid Of him. AS Meyers walked up
to James he stopped down to take up
a rail and advanced on him. and Mey-
ers fred or him; then turned and ran.
James ran after him and caught him,
when Meyers turned and struck him
over the head several times with the
gun and James fell.
The State has made out desperate
ly bad case against defendant. a
pathetic feature of this case is the
presence in Court of the four little
children of the defendant, ranging in
age from years to S mvnths.
Thee arguments having all been
made. Judge Gage charged the law
of the case this morning.
The jury today rendered q verdict of
guilty. with recommendation to mercy.
Notice of motion for new trial was
give.

Building and Loan Taxes.

Columbia, April 21-Messrs W. D.
Melton, John P. Thomas Jr., and c..
J. Shannon, as committee represent
ing the building and loan associations,
had conference today with Comp
troller General Jones. The committee
went over the whole situation with
Mr.. Jones and explained the position
and contention of the building and loan
associations, and that they were not
trying to dodge any taxes. The com
mittee had another conference in the
afternoon with Mr.. Jones, which
Assistant Attorney General Townsend
attended.
No announcement is yet ready as to
the final determination Of the matter,
but the expectation is that there will
be a perfect understanding as to ex-
actly what is taxable and what is not
under the building and loan plans.
