Death claimed genial, kindly
gentleman and one of the States
most brilliant orators, when Col
w " Lumpkin, of Columbia, was
called to answer the dread sum-
mons last Sunday, while visiting
at his daughters home in Ashe-
vile, n. c. Colonel Lumpkin was
at his best as an orator on Con-
federate Reunion occasions and it
was to him a labor of love to
recount the deeds of valor of the
men who wore the grey and
fought with Lee and Jackson.
Last year he delivered the COM
mencement address before the
graduating class of Kingstree High
school and although given but a
few days notice his audience was
charmed with his mastery blend
ing of wit, pathos and beauty of
imagery.

Matt Hensen, the negro who
was Peary's only companion
barring a few Esqumaux, We be-
lieve-when the..Pole was reached,
as the story goes, says that since
they returned home Peary hasn't
treated him right. Matt COM
plains that Peary won't notice
him at all, but selfshly keeps
to, himself all the honors and
emoluments that are being shower
ed upon him. Just swhy Hensen
should hold Peary bound to keep
up their association is not ap-
parent, unless the two, perchance,
may share some guilty secret.
Things are beginning to look
squally for Peary just now, any
way, and should Hensen tell tales
out of school it may not be long
before the man who drove DR.
Cook into exile will keep his
victim company.

and machinery. :" as to give our
subscriber, :; more readable paper
from . mrchlnic;,l standpoint, at
least.
With this end in view we have
resisted the temptation I" follow
the example OF many Of our
contemporaries and temporarily
boom circulation by voting con-
tests and other schemes to give
away pre- >cntS I" Il few at the
expense Of the many who would
not share in the gift distribution.
Instead Of spending sveral huL-
dred dollars, plus time, energy
and advertising space, we deem
ed it better for both the paper
and its patrons to invest the mon
ey that we have earned above
operating expenses in new material
and labor-saving machery, so as to
send out a county paper that
would compare favorably in me-
chanical appearance with any
weekly newspaper in this State
and also to facilitate the work
of printing, folding, addressing
and mailing the sheet, which
when done by hand is a very
slow and laborious process.
We are pleased to announce to
our readers that, thanks to the
liberal patronage they have favor
ed us with, we have been able
to put in most of the machinery,
etc, that has been SO long need
cd to complete our equipment.
A. will be noted all the body
tyre and head letter used in this
isSur is brand new and of the
most popular design. The body
type is just a little smaller than
the nid face which was really too
large and took up too much space.
Then, too, practically all our adj
vcrtiSing display type is new and
We have added hundreds Of dollars
worth of new type and material
,o our job department, which is
now equipped to do better work
on shorter notice than ever be-
fore.
And, last but not least in the
WAY of improvement, we have
added to our plant a newspaper
folder of the most approved make,
that will fold, trim and paste one
thousand to fifteen hundred eight
To twelve page newspapers in an
