TOWNSVILLE, JULY 2O.-The
! weather has got down to hot summer
weather at last. and with an occa-
sional shower, the field crops are
growing very fast, and are doing
fairly well. Vegetables have been
plentiful and country watermelons
have made their appearance on our
streets. Spring chickens are rather
scarce, but upon the whole, our
people are faring sumptously every
day, and there is no special cause for
complaint.
Rev. L. T. Carroll filled his pull.
pit here yesterday, and he will con-
tinue the meeting on through this
week.
Tomorrow Professors Newman
and Morrison of Clsmson College
will be here to address farmers in.
stitute and Thursday Mrs. E. S.
Herbert and Mrs. A. B. Mulligan
are to be here to hold a Woman 8
Temperance union meeting until
Saturday, they then go to Union.
This morning the Jonesville
Guards with Capt. Scott and Lieut..
Whitlock in command, left for Hyatt
Park, Columbia, for the encampment
for this week.
Rev. David Hucks, j. w. Scott
and B. w, Whitlock will 90 to
Woodruff next Thursday to to attend
the Spartanburg District Conference.
DR.. A. 8. Foster will 90 to White
Stone Lithia Springs tomorrow to
attend the State Dental Association.
The colored people had chartered
society here called the Sons and
Daughters of Bethany which was
charitable association, but they got
into row about its management
and have "busted" the concern and
divided the, money. They had
about one hundred and thirty FIVE
dollars in the treasury. Some of
the members say the officers de-
clared a whole lot of the members
suspended and then proceeded to di-
vide the money among those in good
standing, and the division was not
so long. Of course short division is
the best when there is money to d.
vide.
The oil mill here has been organ
lied and the location practically
settled, which is the old knitting
mill site. The company has bought
Mr.. r. A. Whidoek's large fine GIN
cry just across the street from the
old knitting mill and will operate
this ginery and blow the seed right
into the oil mill building.
Messrs. R. Littlejohn and G, L.
Bryant will open grocery store in
our town about the 18th of August

Two negroes that belonged to the
wrecking crew from Augusta who
had been working for Mr.. Hit,
Aaron Griffin and Moses Barxdale
slept together last night in town,
and Griffin robbed Barxdale oftwelve
dollars and made his escape, but the
phone was too fast for Griffin and he
was picked up at Union by the po.
lice there at ten O'Clock. The tele-
phone is bad thing for evil doers.

Miss Pearl of Sherman, Texas, and
