and the city of Bridgetown. although
busy and active, is certainly a dirty
dusty and uninteresting city. In order
that l may not seem prejudiced against
the place l give the following comment
from local guide book
About $4,000 OF the islands total
population reside in Bridgetown, but the
stranger landing here for the first thine
might be excused for supposing that
fully one-half the blacks of Barbados
had congregated here, for they FIJI the
streets and squares, as well as swarm
upon the wharves and sea front gener-
ally. According to the universal testi-
mony of travellers also one may SEQ In
Bridgetown relatively. more white people
than in most of the other islands, al
though they compose less than one
tenth OF the population. one is justled
in the streets by horses, mules and
donkeys. but the big black men are the
real beasts OF burden, and haul carts
containing hogsheads of sugar as
though they weighed but pounds instead
of tons"
They are all busy, however, there be-
Ing much less loafing than in any other
place I have visited. As they must
work they perform their tasks with a
Will. Always hearty and good natured,
though Independent and insolent toward
the white people. the blacks of Barbados
are the best workers in the West indies,
and as such are in great request In
other islands. But, as already indicated,
mt present they would rather labor in
Barbados on starvation wages (Which
are down TO 25 cents a day for stalwart
men and ~ cents for women) than mi
crate. How long. however this will last
II a question.

SAINT AUGUSTINE.

AS a natural and Inevitable result
OF being widely celebrated as the old
est town in the United States, Saint
iAugustine<has become one Of the, new
rest, most modern looking cities in the
country. 1t has found the fountain OF
perpetual youth which Ponce de Leon
spent. SO much time and money look
ing for in that vicinity, and the waters
OF the fountain are the gold which
rich northerners pour into Golfers of
the natives.
The old Saint Augustine, the city
that the Spaniards built in the six
teenth century, consists in few we'll
preserved relics and ruins, which
stand lonesome and strange, among
splendid hotels and winter homes with
every mark Of modernity upon them.
Old Saint Augustine Is the ghost OF
ian arnored Spanish knight walking
in a throng Of bathing girls and linen
clad tourists.
! The best preserved and most strik-
ing remnant Of the old city is the fort
which the Spaniards built, with a real
moat and. real drawbridges. It played
an active part In the turbulent history
/ OF the South until as late as the Sem.

followers of osceola were imprisoned

Postoffice HEROES !


To stand ON the outside and get a
mere glimpse into the interior of the
postoftlce gives but little idea OF the
stupendous task the postoflce force
has TO do during the Christmas rush
One gets a fairly good idea from look
ing at the rush on the outside and
seeing the carriers loaded down, but
to gather due appreciation OF the
great work done, one must really be
inside where it IS done. Systematic
work OF course, makes the task easier
but 1t is a hard one all the way
through. The Telegram does not
wonder that the Cumberland. News
should refer to the postoface workers
as heroes when it says: =
Heroic work is being done by the
men who carry the mail sacks, by the
Borters of the mail, by all who are a
part OF the great machinery of the

They are up to their arm pits In the

toward Christmas. They are deserv-
ing OF credit for their work..

MR,W.L.ASKINS' DEATH SHOCKS

SCALDED--PERSONAL NOTES.

GNoolNFAA wv Noe
Special to The County Record.
Lake City, March 1.-THE entire
community was shocked Sunday af-
ternoon when it was learned that Mr.
WI Askins had died very suddenly.
He had been in apparently good
health and just an hour prior to his
death had partaken of his dinner,
retiring TO his room with head
ache only a few minutes before he
expired. Mrs Askins became alarm
ed at the quietness and entered his
room, finding him gasping for breath.
Before medical assistance could be
had he had passed away. Mr. Askins
was the youngest son of Major S NJ
Askins, of this place, having been
born and reared here. He was only
32 years old. In 1905 he married
Miss Marie Beayers and besides his
wife and father, he leaves two small
sons, The interment took place yes
terday afternoon at o'clock at the
Lake City cemetery. Messrs J M
Sturgeon, A M Parker, Jr, j N Tru-
luck and D M Epps acted as pail
bearers.
Last Thursday the infant son of
Mr. and Mrs Thad Anderson, who re-
side near town, fell into some scald-
ing water and died Saturday night
from the wounds received. The
burial took place Sunday afternoon
at Pergamos.
Mr. L L Caldwell. who has been
quite i'll for the past several weeks,
suffered severe attack last Thurs
day and at this writing his condition
is still unimproved. His sons, Messrs
VR Caldwell of Kingstree, S G Cald-
we'll of Darlington and Dixie Cald-
we'll of Clemson College, are all at
home with the family. The attend
ing physicians are of the opinion
that recovery to his former health
under the conditions is impossible.
The stricken man and his family
have the sincere sympathy of all the
community.
Miss Dora Hinnant, the efficient
and popular young teacher at the
Gaskins school on DR. DuRant's plan
tation, spent the weekend at home
with her mother. Miss Hinnant is
very much interested in her work
and during the last two months has
organized a literary society, calling
it the Woodrow Wilson Literary
society,"" which she hopes to have in
shape to hold a public meeting in
the near future.
Miss Violet Askins. another of our
young school-ma'ams, spent the
weekend at home with her parents.
She is also enthused with her work
and seems to be having good results,
not only with her pupils, but
Messrs NJ Horowitz and N Shu-
man of Kingstree were the guests
of Mr. A 8 Brick last Sunday.
