Tomatoes go beggin' " in Char
lesion at 40 cents a bushel. In
Kingstree we almost 60 beggin' to-
matoes at 40 cents a dozen. This is
all right for the fellow who has to-
matoes to sell, and perhaps it's one
of the reasons why the producer
thinks Kingstree is the best town on
Black river-even though it is the
only one.
A new hotel will shortly be open
ed up in Kingstree in the building

duct it under the name of the McIn-
tosh House
Mr. D C Shaw informs US that on
Monday while in Black river swamp
near Brunson's mill looking after
some livestock, he came upon the
dead carcass of a fine hog. Upon
investigation he found that the hog
had been twice shot with a rifle or
pistol, one leg broken in two places
and just back of the shoulder blade
a large chunk of flesh had been cut
out. Very near by there was eYi-
dences Of fish stew. The presump-
ton is with Mr. Shaw, that a 4th Of
July fishing party camped there and
finding they had no meat or greese
with which to season their stew, kill
ed the hog and cut out the missing
piece, the skin of which was found
on the camp ground along with fish
bonesand other evidences Of what ap-
pears to be dastardly perpetration.
