EHRHARDT, June 2O.-The drought con.
tinues; no rain to cool the parched earth
vet. The crops are standing it fine so far,
but a few days more without rain will
make big difference in the harvest this
fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Kinard have very
sick child.
The little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
Il. Kinard, that was so seriously burned
some time ago, is improving.
Mr.. Ben F. Brown is at home again
from Hot Springs, Arkansas. He is very
little, if any, improved in health.
There is a good deal of fever in this
section now, and Drs. Copeland and
Roberts are kept very busy.
Messrs. I. D. and s. W. Copeland, W.
B. Moore and DR.. J. L. Copeland enjoyed
"stag" fish fry at the old mill last
Wednesday.
Capt. J. NJ. Dannelly and Mr.. J. c..
Kinard went to Ivanhoe Park, near WAL
terboro, last Tuesday to attend fish
party given by the club at that place. Mr..
Kinard is a member of the club.
The young folks had very pleasant
fish fry at the memorial grounds last
Thursday.
Extensive preparations are being made
for the St. Johns picnic on the 3Oth OF
this month. Those people know how to
feed you, and all who attend are sure to
have good time.
Capt. J. NJ. Dannelly visited relatives
in Norway, Orangeburg county, last Sat-
urday and Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. s. w. Copeland visited at
Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Copeland's last Sun
day.
There were some rowdies in town Sat-
urday night, disturbing the peaceful citi-
zens by firing off their pistols on Main
STREET. They were not caught, as they
probably had watched the marshal until
he had gone in for the night. This thing
always occurs late at night, and if the
parties could only be caught and fined
fifty dollars each it probably would put a
stop to such cowardly, abominable prac-
tice. No gentleman would act this way,
and the person or persons who indulge
in this racket at night can safely be put
down as lowdown, mean scoundrels, who
will stoop to anything mean and ugly.
The council think they have clue, and
it is to be hoped that they won't rest until
they catch the guilty parties.
The council are having some much
needed work done on the streets, for
which they have the thanks of the public.
Mr.. j. G. Westerlund has erected com.
modious building on Main street, near
the depot. A good many are trying to
figure out what it is, but the writer, hap
pening to 60 in the house few days ago,
saw a sign, "Ice," hanging up over the
door, so it must be an ice house, but it is
the first one that we have ever seen with
the sign on the inside.
We had an invitation to the fish try
and annual picnic at the home of Mr.. j
R. Carter, but failed to get there on &C.
count of business. We understand from
those who attended that they had about as
many fish left as were eaten at dinner
and everybody had an all-round good
time generally. This is nothing new
though, to those who visit Mr.. Carter and
his estimable wife and family.
Steve Jones, a progressive colored
farmer, on Mr.. N P. Murdaugh's place
sent in the first cotton bloom of the season
Mr.. C. E. Kinsey went to Bamberg to-
day.
Mr.. Doty Rhoad, of Hartzog, was in
town Saturday night. Came for drink
of artesian water, eh Doat?
