DRY AS A CHIP

Lexington, Feb. 3.-Lexington is
said to be as dry as a chip in all
that the term implies. Both of the
social clubs of Lexington have been
closed up. One was closed a week
or two before Christmas by the Off
GERS and the other went out of busi-
ness on Friday night. This leaves
only one so-called social club in the
county and this, it is said, will be
closed up within the next week. The
Lexington grand jury in it's present
ment to Judge Frank B. Gary, at the
January term of court of General
Sessions, recommended that every
club in the county be closed by the
officers and Sheriff Miller has been
doing his best to carry out the rec
ommendation.

year-old boy 6 feet inches tall and
still growing. For two years he has

with him because he outgrows his

News From keltOn.

Kelton, S. c., Feb. 3.-We have
had a great deal of rain the past
two weeks, which has stopped all
farm work and the public highways
are getting in very bad condition.
Mrs. Charlie Broom died very sud-
denly last Wednesday at her home
at Lockhart. She was buried at Mt.
Joy church Friday in the presence
of very large congregation of sor-
rowing relatives and friends. She
was Miss Garner before her mar
riage, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charlie Garner, who preceded her to
the spirit world several years ago.
She was a member of the Baptist
church and left behind a husband,
several children three brothers, too
sisters and many relatives and
friends who mourn the loss of dear
relative and friend, of whom all have
the profound sympathy of the entire
community.
During the funeral of Mrs. Broom,
which was conducted by her pastor,
Rev. j. L. Hodges, assisted by Rev.
F. E. Hodges, "Uncle Billie" Going,
as he is called by most everybody,
was very suddenly stricken down
and for some time it was feared that
the attack would prove fatal, but
he revived and was carried to Union
the next day, where he is receiving
medical attention. His many friends
all over the county wish for him a
speedy recovery.
Messrs. w. H., G. T., and D. J.

the right place, using good judgment
toward those unfortunate men. He
is man with plenty of mercy but
strictly enforcing the law in dealing
with them. The day before they
moved the citizens gave them a reg

which consisted of hog and 'possum,

part.

convicts on the fourth Sunday even
