Guyton, Ca, July 18.-It has been
some time since 1 have written you
but l take the pleasure of writing
you from Efingham county. l will
have to say the people of Efingham
county are surely blessed. Our crops
are generally good. While other
counties are drowned out we have
had good seasons, sometimes little
dry, but not enough to hurt serious
ly. Your writer had the pleasure OF
taking Mr.. G. H. Mccormack, OF
Govan, Bamberg county, over his
crop and he stated that it was the best
he has seen anywhere this year, and
also 1 shower him my hogs, and he
said it looked like was fixing to
live at home. 1 have one hundred
and forty head of hogs and about
forty-five head of cattle, and from the
prospects now will make plenty to
feed them on. There are a mum.
Der of good farms around here.
Mr.. Editor, I have been noticing
the candidates cards in Bamberg
county. Among them I notice Mr.
J. S. Fields, for magistrate at Olar'
I have known Mr.. Fields for a long
time, and if the good people Of that
district should select him for the OF.
fee, I believe he would do all in his
power to give satisfaction.
We are having some hot weather
down here and a little, rain. In the
counties above us they are having an
abundance of rain, so that can't
say anything about fishing in the
Ogechie river, for it is overflowed sc
that the farmers living on the

Hoping you and the good. people

THREE CHILDREN BURNED.
Negress Locks Children in House
with Fatal Results.

Florence, July 1S.-A negro ten
ant, dwelling On the plantation OF
Mr.. j. E. Privett, in the Black
Swamp section, about six miles north
of this city, was destroyed by fire
about 10 O'Clock last night, in which
three negro children lost their lives
and another was so badly burned
that it will probably die.
Mitt Kelly, the mother of the
children, locked them up in her
house and went to church, leaving
them in charge of the oldest girl,
about years old. Not long after
the woman left the house was seen
to be on fire and assistance was
given, but before anything could be
done the three children were roasted
alive. The oldest child managed to
get out of the building, and, being
frightened, ran to a neighbor for as
sistance, forgetting about the other
four in the house, one of which
escaped, after considerable effort, in
a horribly burned condition.
The cause of the fire could not be
ascertained by the coroner, who
went to the scene to-day and held
an inquest. The building was valued
at about $500 and was owned by
Mr.. J. E. Privett. There was no in
surance.

SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around the
County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, July. 1S.-The Farmers
Union had three men from Clemson
college talk to them last Saturday
morning on farming, worms, insects
and birds. Mr.. Rice wants the old
field lark taken care of. He says
that they are the principal destroyers
of the wire worm. Says that most
of the farmers think the bird to be
a grain eating bird but it is not so;
prefers insects and worms and will
only eat grain when very hungry.
Some Of our old farmers that have re-
planted corn after the continued visits
of drove of larks doubt this theory,
and still hold vengeance against his
majesty when the sun is hot and
the missing hills are plentiful with
a hole bored down by the side of the
corn and the grain gone, perched
upon the top of high stump viewing
the work going on warbling out,
Hurry up laziness will kill you,
in his plaintive notes, which alone
will create the desire in the farmers
breast to send the leaden missile from
his gun to snuff his life out at first
chance.
There is no doubt but that birds
do lots of good by destroying worms
and insects, for instance the blue
bird. The severe cold We had a few
years ago came very near killing all
of them, and we miss them more in
our gardens hunting worms soon in
the morning than any one realizes.
This bird should be protected, as it
feeds alone on worms and insects,
never eating seed of any kind.
Our farmers are now realizing the
shortpess of the crops on account of
the continued rains. They are, how
ever, using their energies to give it
all the work they can.
Mr.. Bennie Ehrhardt and his sister,
Mamie, went home with their cousins,
Misses Lucille and Elizabeth Epting,
of Savannah, Ca, to spend a week
enjoying themselves in and around
Savannah.
Rev. J. Earle Freeman gave us
a box of very fine peaches, and has
our thanks for them.
The Baptist church is under good
headway, and will soon be ready for
the paint brush.
There are few spring chickens
brought to this market, but the prices
are not in proportion to the size OF
the chicks offered.
Misses Heaton and Crosby, of
Smoaks, are spending some time with
Mrs. Adam Kinard.
Miss Bertha Bishoff, Of Charleston,
and Mrs. Eta Lightsey, of Fairfax,
spent a day or two with Miss Clara
Copeland last week. JEE.

Ehrhardt, July 1s.-An accident
that came near ending in tragedy
happened out in the country from
here a few evenings since.
Mrs. Ben Rentz, with her little
daughter and her baby, together with
her friend and neighbor, Mrs. Fen
der, with her little daughter and her
baby, were out riding when the horse
became frightened and ran away.
Mrs. Rentz jumped from the buggy
with her baby in her arms, sustaining
injuries from which she has not
walked since. The little girl and the
baby escaped being hurt.
Mrs. Fender held on to the lines
until she was dragged from the bug
gy, and in falling was badly injured
internally. Her baby was also badly
injured, while the little girl was
found sitting in the foot Of the buggy
with not even a scratch upon it, al
gh the buggy was smashed init
though the buggy was smashed I'M
pieces. 1t seems a miracle that the
child was not instantly killed.

thought that the voters themselves had
not Information enough to enable them
To act intelligently until a special meeting
which will be called few weeks later.
There is a division of sentiment between
the voters who understand the matter as
to whether the wiser way would be to
take only the SO acres lying west of "a
proposed street or to add to the tract all
the land west of the a. |. POLES property
upon which the estate also give an
option at low figure, with the provisO
that II the tract at any time shall not
be used for public park purposes the heirs
snail have the right to take 1t back upon
the repayment to the village of the pur-
chase price. The sentiment of the village
is rapidly crystallizing in favor of park
and playground, and the voters are en-
titled to decide whether they want a part
or the whole, or none after the subject
is fully discussed.
The usual votes were passed relating to
authorizing the trustees and treasurer to
borrow money in anticipation of the
payment of taxes, the taxes to be col
lected by the treasurer and the rate of
tax was fixed at 80 cents. The use Of the
trustees room in the village building was
voted to the municipal court free of
expense the same as last year. Some
discussion was had in relation to the in
adequacy of the sewer system north of
School street and west of Atkinson street
which the trustees were of the opinion
would require important changes in the
immediate future, as each severe rain
storm showed that the size Of the main
branches was too small and they would
not take care of the surface water. The
troubles of last Saturday We're described
and much sympathy expressed for those
whose cellars had been flooded The
meeting adjourned at $50.
