little daughter, Hazel, with him.
Hazel was taken very i'll after their
arrival at Durham. and her mother,
Mrs Holloway, went on Thursday.
At this writing it is not known here
whether the child has recovered or
not.
Mr. EJ Rickenbaker is visiting
relatives in town. Mr. Rckenhaker,
who is a teacher, had charge OF a
school in North Carolina last session.
Mr. J L Stuckey paid a visit to
Sumter last week. He made the
return trip through the country in
buggy. Observation of the crops
along the way leads him to conclude
that this section has better prospects
than some other parts of the coun-
try. For instance, from Sumter to
Mayesville, the crops are very poor.
Between the latter place and Lynch
burg they are somewhat better, and
from Lynchburg to Lake City the
improvement increases all along in
the direction of the last named
place.
MIN Parker was in town from
Scranton Sunday afternoon.
There were three games of ball
Thursday and Friday last, between
Lake City and Lamar on the local
diamond. One game was played
the first day and two the second.
Lamar was clearly outclassed, the
scores running an average OF about
five to one in favor of Lake City.
Mr. DB Knight favored US with
a crate of peaches a few days ago.
These peaches were of good size,
uniform and of splendid quality
equal in all respects to those found
upon the city markets. Mr. knight
is one of those who know and appre-
ciate the value of a good orchard on
the farm. He raises fruit enough
to supply his whole family, summer
land winter. AS he has only thir-
teen children and bunch of grand
children only small orchard is re-
quired.
One day last week Dream, trout
and jacks were sold here publicly in
broad daylight upon our streets.
AS is we'll known. or ought to be
known, at least, this was fragrant
violation to the law. We under
stand that barrel of these fish
came here from Santee. The law
prohibiting the sale of game fishes
was published in full in The Coun-
ty Record and the only excuse that
can be offered for this brazen vio-
lation is indifference. Indifference
to what? Indifference to law
and order and to the welfare
of others. Will our people never
lean the duty of citizens or the OBJ
legations that rest upon right think
ing men? Is the dollar the only
standard of morality or success?
The goddess of Getting On is
rapidly becoming the supreme deity
of this country, and the religious
creed is make money-honestly if
you can, but make money, nothing
else counts" This may seem a
severe indictment to some of the
"old fogies," whose ideals are high
er than the dollar, but the charge is
the proper one and the proof is con-
elusive to all right thinking people.
Miss Pansy Jones is at home from
Richmond, Va, on a visit.
Misses Frances and Florence Fass
of Dillon are visiting Misses Mollle

Mr. and Mrs ] NJ Truluck went to
