the Democratic vote alone ran up to
10000. There ought to be over
100, 900 Democratic, votes pelled on
November 8.
We are requested to say that Rev
R L Grier will be installed pastor of
Corinth Presbyterian church on Sat-
urday before the second Sunday in
November. The installation sew
ices will be conducted by Revs W S
Porter and G M Bailey. The sacra.
ment of the Lords supper will be
administered on Sunday morning at
the usual hour. The public is cor.
daily invited to attend.
We invite special attention to the
big advertisement of Mr. j S Eron,
which appears in our columns this
week. Mr Eron believes in prin-
ters' ink and has had the good judg-
ment to select The RECORD as his
medium for reaching the people of
Williamsburg county. We predict
that Mr. Eron's liberal use of our
space will profit him many times the
cost of his advertisement.
Chamberlain Fulton, colored, was

preliminary hearing was held Tues

the defendant, who was represented
by Leroy Lee, ESQ.,, was bound over
to the circuit court in the sum of
$3.50.
The series of meetings in the
Baptist church, conducted by Rev
H P Fitch, State evangelist, are at
tracing good congregations and
much interest is manifested. There
is a crying need of a spiritual up
building in Kingstree and we hope
that much good may be accomplished.
Services are held twice daily, morn
ing ant. evening, and the meetings
will probably be continued through
Sunday.

A Church Soei al.

SALTERs, No7ember 2:-The hot
supper at the residence of NJ j A
Ferrell last night was gratifying
success both from a financial and
social standpoint. There was Zig
crowd present and a plenty and var

oysters, barbecue, turkey, ice-cream,
etc. The proceeds, which will be ap-
piled to the repairing of Union
church, amounted to about sixty-five
dollars. Among the people present
were noted the following from King
stree: Misses Luna Tribble Bar
bara Jacobs, Alma Kelley. Mrs Mat
tie Tilton, Messrs P o Arrowsmith,

Dock, Oct. 30:-Our community
was Saddened early Friday morning
when the death angel visited our
midst and took one of our best men,
Mr. Benjamin Franklin Brockinton,
Sr.
All that medical skill and kind
hands could do was done to stay the
hand of death, but to no avail.
On Friday morning he drew the
drapery of his couch around him and
lay down, as it were, to pleasant
dreams, while his gentle spirit was
waited over the silent river of death
and into the celestial city to be with
the God who gave it.
1t is useless for me to try to de-
scribe the life of our departed friend.
Suffice to say that he was a man Of
God. AS man he was kind and
gentle and sweet-tempered to every
body alike, especially in his home.
1t seemed to be his greatest delight
to have his home filled with his
friends.
In his death the Black Mingo
Baptist church has lost one of its
strongest pillals.
Mr Brockinton was twice married;
first to Miss Sarah Cooper, who. after
a long and happy married life with
her devoted husband, died and lett
him with eleven children, five boys
and SIX girls. A few years later he
married Mrs Mag Siau,' who with
two chill dren survives him.
On Saturday. morning a large
crowd OF sorrowlng friends and rel
atives assembled at the old Belin
church to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to the departed friend and
loved one.
Rev Mr. Wilder, assisted by Rev
S II Russell, conducted the funeral
services. This was the most solemn
funeral service tina: the writer has
ever witnessed; a great hush seemed
to prevail during the sad hour.
Franklin Brockinton is no more
and never will we see his like again.
Safe in the arms If Jesus;
Safe on his gentle breast;
There by his love over shadowed,
Sweetly his soul shall rest.

Elizabeth de Barrie Gill, reader,
harpist and contralto soloist, will
appear here on Wednesday night,
November 9, under the auspices Of
the Kingstree Lyceum. This is the
first of five high class attractions
that have been booked for the season.
The lyceum has secured these enter
tainers at considerable expense and u
good deal of trouble, the members
taking upon themselves the tasksof
bringing them to Kingstree in order
to afford the people of town and
county some diversion during the
long winter months. Whether or
not the lyceum becomes permanent
institution depends on the enco uragec
meut it receives in the way of atten:
dance upon the entertainments fur
nished. 1t is not a money making
scheme and no one connected with 1t
expects to receive a dollar of profit.
Miss Elizabeth de Barrie Gill will
give the first entertainment of the
series in the Court house Wednesday
night, November 9. Admission SOC:

NEWS OF A WEEK In A BUSY
COMMUNITY.
Some Timely 0bserv atoms anent the
Two Constitutional Amend
ments to be Voted On.

thews Saturday.
An entertainment for the benefit
of the Methodist parsonage was
given at the Sturgeon hotel Friday
evening. A number of musical se-
lections were rendered and several re-
citations given. The recitations of
Mrs W E Severance and Misses
Ruth Williamson and Jackie Rodgers
were specially mentioned.
Either the writer or the printer
made mistake in saying last week
that the Southeast Baptist Associ-
alton will meet on November 7th.
The correct date is the 10th.
Messrs Walter B Poston and j T
Lyerly of Prospect were in town
Thursday on business.
Messrs j E and j L McFaddin of
Cades were noted in town Saturday.
Intendant H J Brown, of the Cades
municipality, spent few hours here

member of the State board of health
was here one day last week on busl-
ness.
Mr. McRoy Gasque has bargained
with Mr. john A Green for the plan
tation some three miles from here
lately occupied by Mr. Henry A
Stuckey, and will remove there at
an early date.
"Mlss Marie Croft of Lake City,

Columbia correspondents, of Sunday

Miss Elmer Murphy has returned

DR. A J Stokes spept Sunday night
in town, having come up from Rome
with Rev Mr. Hardin.
Miss Annie Sutcliffe left Monday
night for New York. She will re-
turn about Christmas.
1t might be we'll to call the at
tention of the electors of Williams
burg again to the two constitutional
amendments they will vote upon
next week. One is to provide for
biennial sessions. The other has for
its object the giving Of authority tc
the General Assembly TO- enact speci'
al or local laws with regard to road
working, SO that, each county may
have just such road law as it wants
without regard to the other sections
of the State. :, These are very impor-
txnt. measures-the most important.
tso far as our State is concerned, that
this election will decide. They de-
serve far more serious consideration
than the election of any man or set
of men. When we are aboiit to hay
our hands upon the great fundamep
tai law of the land, the constitution
that instrument which stands be
tween civilization and anarchy, be-
tween order aud chaos, caution, deep
earnest thought should precede ou
every ballot. Every voter, who i
not already Informed upon these sub
jects, should get himself informed
and thoroughly informed before No
vember 9th, and cast his ballot al
his best judgment, guided by an un
faltering desire to do that which i
best for our commonwealth, shal
direct. You will vote only "yes" o
"no", but these two little words ar
frsught with fearful power-powe
that may work for good or that may
wor k for tremendous evil. The frs
mentioned. of these amendments j
the most perilous. Think we'll and
vote as freenen.

Two Husbands Living In the Same
 House With This Woman.

New York, Jan Ton a charge of bigamy sworn to by her father. Mrs Minnie KappeH has been arrested in Hoboken. If the charges are true the arrest shows a remarkable situation.
 Mrs Kappelrs father recently sued his second wife, the prisoners step mother, for a divorce. His case was upset by the testimony of the daughter which favored her step mother. Then Mrs Kappell's father charged the girl, she is only 21 years old, with bigamy. He asserted she had been married three times one of the husbands hay ing died. When detectives went to her fiat they found two of the alleged hus- bands there taking care of a baby which had been adopted by Mrs Rap pell. The latter was at the theater. Later she was arrested.
 One of the men Is a cripple who earns few ponies by selling lead pen cils on the streets Neighbors say it was understood he was boarder. The prisoner declared her father s charges to be false, and when she was taken away the men promised to take good care of the baby.

FIR. WADE'S FLOWERS.
Thought Commissioners Were Getting
 a Joke On Him.

Commissioner Wade of the deparfxl ment of public works is something oGI humorist, although one wouldn q think so at first sight. When he ailej tered the meeting room Tuesday after.I noon he was shown a beautiful floral shoe which stood on the table lettes ITO Commissioner Wade. from FoTe~5 men of the Waterbury Clock Go ,s3 After reading what was marked olr. the tag he remarked that it was ni good joke, adding that it was the sanneI one which Alderman Beach receiveA| Monday night, and hinted that tha3 board had put up the job on alina<l Mayor Elton and the rest of the coYns3 missioners indignantly denied fl1S charge, but this didn't convince Ais1| Wade of his error. If Mir Wade wa8 that the horseshoe was made to do ser@ vice the same evening at the initial sess sion of the new board of education, f0k W. J. Larkin, another Waterbury clock shop man. But this is not s0x The foremen at the factory got togethz CT and decided to give Mir Wade. M Larkin and Mir Beach a bouquet eaehH and in order not to leave any room forI criticism thew concluded to have eachE piece of the same size and design If was very nice thing to do, but peoplaj cannot help noticing that the forenlea1 at the clock factory never thought o1sI recognizing Mir Whiting in that way, a man who has acquitted himself verM screditably in the city government. .AI,f then you will hear folks say that po1kI tics cuts no figure with them.

COSTLY FIRE.
Augusta Visited by a Seri-
 ous Conllagration To-Day.

Augusta Me, Jan 1.-Two large brick blocks, occupied by the First Ma tional bank and several stores, were burned here to-day and several other buildings were damaged. The loss is estimated at $2OO. GOO.
 The property destroyed was near the trade center of the city and at times 1t was feared that a confagration could not be averted. Pierces crockery store, millinery and a jewelry store. and Whitman & Adams's dry goods store, were among the places burned.
 The flames were first noticed near the furnace in the basement of Whit man & Adams's store, and spread rapidly. Soon the aspect of the fire was so threatening that assistance was asked of Waterville, Gardiner and Hal lowell, all of which sent aid, and the combined forces fought for five hours before they stopped the blaze.
 The heaviest losers are Whitman & Adams, whose dry goods store was the largest in Augusta. Their damage is place at $60,OOO. Chief Engineer Rick CT of the fire department was overcome by smoke and had to be taken to the hospital. Several fremen were hurt by falling glass.

TRAINMEN KILLED.
Collision On Brooklyn Elevated Rail.
 Road To-Day.

New York, Jan. T-Three trainmen were killed to-day by collision of two trains on the Brooklyn elevated railroad
 One of. the dead was hurled from the structure to the street and nearly every bone In his body broken, while another had his head crushed between the bumper of the engine which was rammed by q motor train. and the front car of the one drawn by steam power.
 Simultaneously with the collision a fire was started by the coals from the locomotive, and this added to the panic of the passengers, who fought desperately to escape from the wreck ed cars.
 The dead, who were all employees of the road, were George Zulig, yard master; James O'Brien, car coupler, and William H. Ferguson, foreman.
 George H. Smith was seriously in jured; Miss Emmo Frank suffered q broken leg.
 A crowded passenger train crashed into a train of empties, telescoping the rear car of the latter, in which were the trainmen.
