Brilliant Inaugural Ceremonies

With an unusually impressive and
brilliant inaugural ceremony Cover
nor-elect Albert w. Gilchrist will
take the oath of office on Monday,
the 4th of January, when the four
years administration of Governor
Napoleon B. Broward will come to
an end.
Large delegations will be present
from Jacksonville, Tampa and other
cities and the event will be one of
the most notable in the history of
the state capital.
1t was Tampa that gave General
Gilchrist one of the largest MAORI
ties received in any city in the state
in the spring primaries. And so the
citizens of that city are making prep
arations to send an especially large
representation to the inaugural
event. A special train viii be run
from the South Florida metropolis.

TERRIBLE RAINS AT LISBON.
Crops Badly Damaged by Recent Rains-..
Nominations for the Legislature.

Lisbon, S. c., June 27.-Since we
wrote our last letter to your valuable
paper we farmers have had storms and
disaster. On last Monday night we had
one hard rain after another and lasted
for four or five hours with some wind.
Next morning we went out to see what
had been left and found it not so bad as
we expected, but it certainly was bad
enough. Our bottom corn, most all of
it, was washed clean to the hard ground
while some was not so bad. That GER
tainly means much to the farmers in
this section as we had great deal
planted on what you term borough bot
toms and some of it was exceedingly
fine. We think that Mr.. Brown was
the heaviest loser. Some of us will
plant over while others will not as the
grass in our cotton need our attention
right at this time.
We had fine prospects before last
Monday nights rain. Everybody that
has any stubble is planting every acre
to make up for recent rains if possible.
We have not run furrow in fourteen
days and you can imagine how much
the plows needs to be run; however, if
we get chance crops will look better
in few days.
Mr.. Editor, you named few men
