LAKE CITY NEWS CHRONICLES
Another Flour Mill Agitated-.
Personal Mention.

| Lake City. November 22:-Dr L B
Johnson of Rome was in town Mon
day night and portion of Tuesday.
He was in search of man who, it
is said, has his, DR. Johnson's, horse
and buggy and some money. The
doctor found his horse and buggy at
Timmonsville. The man and money
| are still at large. However, pro-
ceedings were instituted to keep the
man from being too much at large.
Mr. R K Wallace, one of the new
owners of The Record. was here
Tuesday in the interest of his paper.
DR. and Mrs Jennings came down
Sunday and took Mrs s M Sturgeon
back with them to Bishopville where
the latter will be treated in a hos
pital. Mrs Surgeons health has
been getting from bad to worse for
some time.
Mr. P G Gourdin and Miss Ada
Belle Brocklngton came up from
Kingstree Saturday afternoon and
were in town q short while.
Messrs C E Graham, j T Gaskins,
R B Gaskins and w L Bass were in
Kingstree Monday on business.
Drunkenness seems to be on the
decrease, but stealing, selling per-
sonal property under mortgage,
cheating, swindling and the like are
fourishing in this section as prob
ably never known before. And to
make the matter worse, white peo-
pie are committing these crimes.
For a long time such crimes were
resorted to by negroes only, but this
has changed. The idea is growing
that it makes no difference what one
does, just so he can get away with
it."
Mr. H C Fillmore brought his bride
home from Rocky Mount, N c, last
Friday night.
There is some agitation for an
other flour mill at Lake City. We
have heard several declare that an
other is needed, and unless it be
built, the growing of wheat will not
increase in this section, but, on the
contrary, will grow less probably,
At least a thousand acres will be
sowed this fall, and facilities for
turning the crop into flour should
be furnished. The growing of wheat
should be, by all means, encouraged.
not discouraged. Whenever the
farmer can live at home, he will
prosper.

LOWELL PLAZA FOR AUTOS.

That the plaza in Lowell will be the future headquarters for the autos for hire, is the hope of Merchants and business men of that city. who have taken the matter up with the auto men. The present system of parking the for-hire cars along the street is said to prove discommodins to the large number of patrons who motor to the stores, and interferes with the loading and unloading of'the supplies. IL is understood the auto men welcome the change, and final arrangements for the move are eN- pected to be made Monday.
