The friends of Mr.. J. G. Reynolds.

with relatives in Georgia and west
Florida.
The ladies OF the Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church gave
box party at the home of Mr.. L B.
Rast last Wednesday evening for
the benefit of the church building.
It was quite success both socially
and financially. A neat sum was
realized.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. johnson, OF
Scotia, and Mrs. Wilt Rogers, of
Savannah, visited their parents here
last week. Mrs. Rogers has returned
home and was accompanied by her
sister, Miss Minnie Johnson.
MIR. J. L. B. Rast, now of Colum-

DR.. J. R. Langford and wife left
yesterday for a few days stay in
Asheville.

Batesburg to take charge of the first
and second grades of the graded
school there for the ensuing term.
Our town was saddened Saturday
week ago when it became known
that little Enorie Tyler was dead.
She had bsen sick only a few days
and her death was shock to all.
Eoorie was nine years old and had
been living here with her uncle, Mr..
G. 81. Corbitt, for some time, her
mother having died several years
ago. She was an unusually bright
and interesting child and had en-
twined herself around the hearts OF
those who knew her. She will be
missed at Sunday school, where she
loved to 60; she is missed at home,
of which she was the sunshine; and
she will be missed by the town at
large. Our hearts 60 out in tender
sympathy to those bereaved, and we
pray the God, of whom Enorie loved
to talk, to bless ard comfort hem.
Mr. ". 81. F. Rsst, wife and chill
dren are visiting Mrs Rast's parents
in Colleton county.
Messrs. W. B. and G. L. Rast
made flying trip to Asheville on
business last week.
Mrs. S. P. Hutto has returned

Seattle, Aug 5,--Adviees received in
this city tonight from Nome by the
steamship Ohio state that the people Of
Nome are up in arms against the gov

filing upon valuable mining claims.
The Nome Nugget in long article

methods and taking advantage Of their
position to possess themselves Of many
valuable claims which are obtained by
relocating. The Nugget prints com.
parative tables showing the number OF
claims held by the government officials
and their relatives or assistants, and
also the number held by the leading
mining and business men of Nome and
vicinity.
Officers of the Ohio report that the
people are greatly exercised over the
matter and are talking of drastic meas
ures il the authorities at Washington
