with the same disease that proved
fatal in the case of Mrs. Adams, and
II Is thought that he has contracted
the same malady. Col. A. r. Banks,
superintendent of the Lancaster grad
ed schools, has been engaged, by the
state authorities having the matter IN
charge, to write an educational history
of South Carolina for the handbook
that has been authorized by the legis-
lature to be published. Col. Banks
went to Columbia this week to enter
upon the work He will likely be ab-
sent a month or two, as 1t will take
several weeks to look up the necessary
records in the state capitol and write
the history desired.

Of Monday afternoon broke a number
Of windows and was responsible Tor
other damage to the Workman House
in Camden. This hostelry is the prop
erty of Messrs. A. N. Sample and L.
M. Whisonant, both of this city. ......
Mr.. Sompayrac when shown the site
in the rear of the court house Monday
declared the place an ideal one for the
erection of a modern Jail. He was
given some idea of the kind OF build
ing that the county would require,
modern three story structure, equipped
with steel cages and with a separate
residence for the sheriff, divided from
the prison by a court Mr.. Sompayrac
estimates that a building OF this de-

P. Fulton, returned missionary from
japan and who will be remembered as
pastor at Lowryville many years ago,
was in the city this morning with MS
family on his way to Virginia to spend
several wees with relatives in Giles
and Montgomery counties. Mr.. Full
ton left Japan in December last. He
speaks encouragingly Of the outlook for
religious work in the Mikado's king
dom. He declares that the Japanese
as a whole are remarkably friendly to
the American people, and the war taiK'
he thinks, is mostly the work OF poll
ticians. A northern lady, who saw
Col. ]. w. Reed at jamestown, evil
IDENTIFY thinks that the doughty colonel
is still unreconstructed. While at the
exposition, Col. Reed noticed some OF
the West Point cadets on duty, and ap-
preaching one of them twitted him up
OH the fact that the government now
uniforms the young West Pointers in
our Confederate gray. A lady who
bore the ear marks of being from the
north overheard the sally and turning
to her companion said in a voice awe
some and audible, Il do believe he Is
still unreconstructed.'
Lantern, June IA: Miss Julia Patrick
of White Oak, spent yesterday morn
ing at Dr. G. B. Whites and left on The
II o'clock train for Yorkville by way
of Rock Hill, to visit her grandmoth-
er, Mrs. Martha Love. ..... Mr.. j. NJ.
MCCARTHY of Richburg, was in town
Wednesday morning. He was a heavy
loser by the hail storm Monday af-
ternoon. He had with him some sam
pie stalks Of cotton which were strip
ped of all limbs and foliage. He says
the hail was all shapes and of tremen-
dous size and after the storm was
over his field of fine cotton had the ap-
pearance of having been moved. His
| land was also terribly washed. ......
There was an electrical display in the
eastern heavens Monday evening on
scale which only nature can approach
The whole east was lit up with con-
slant flash of dazzling light. There
was sheet lightning and balls of fire
dashing athwart the heavens and eX-
ploding like rocketS-and all In silence,
the report of the crashes that must
have accompanied the display being
lost in the distance. Col. 5. j. G.
Dunlap, father of Mr.. G. L. Dunlap of
Fort Lawn. died at his home at Bar
tow, Fla. Monday, we believe, aged
about seventy-three years. He lived
years ago near Fort Lawn, whence he
moved to Rock Hill and later to Flor
ida. He leaves four children, two by
each of his wives, who were Misses
Ingraham. Mr. Hawkins Meador has
| lust sold to dealers in town the pro-
| duct of about a quarter Of an acre
which he had planted in potatoes and
the amount received was $91.7O. He
will plant the ground in watermelons
now. We thought what comment upon
this case was in order but concluded
that nothing we could say would De
so impressive as the simple fact.
They say there is nothing wrong with
DIR. w. DeK. Wylie'S cabbage except
that they are too large, At least Dr.
in the wagon, and could get none
weighing less than five or six pounds,
They were not planted with any
thought of selling. but they were so
about the place suggested bringing
load To town and was permitted to
do so. One head cut down with the
outer blades weighed twenty-five
pounds. and stripped to the hard head
| il weighed sixteen pounds. Persons
who saw the lot say they had never
seen their equal. We spoke of these
as Dr. Wylie's. by courtesy, but OF
course. we know that they were made
under the supervision OF Mrs. Wylie.
