Dead In McCottry's Lake.

The friends of Mr. D W Cunning
ham, oldest son of DR. S J Cunning
ham, of this city, will be shocked
to learn that he was drowned yester-
day in McCottry's lake, on Black

here until o'clock in the afternoon.
It was stated that he had gone fish
ing early in the morning and that
later Mr. Nesmith, who happened to
be passing, found his body in the
lake lying in water not knee deep.
IT is thought that Mr. Cunningham
was sitting on the bank of the lake
and was stricken with apoplexy,
falling forward into the water. Mr.
Cunningham was here on visit to
his aged father and sisters and had
gone down to the old home to spend
the day with his brother-in-law. Mr.
D E McCutchen. Mr. Cunningham
leaves wife and four sons, the
the children ranging in age from
seven to fifteen years. He was for
several years past manager OF the
Florence Dry Goods Company and
made his home in that city, where
his body was taken ON train so this
morning.
Mr. Cunningham was a brother
in-law of Mr. LC Dove, having mar
ried the latter's sister.
The deepest sympathy is felt by
the people of Kingstree and county
for the stricken family and bereaved
relatives.

Survey for Waterworks...Plot

Lake City, April 10:-Mr j New
ton Johnson, civil engineer, began
work Tuesday on his estimate of the
cost of water works and 4 sewerage
system for Lake City. The prelimi-
nary survey of the town will occupy
four or five days. After this is done
it will be matter of mathematical
calculation to reach the probable
cost. 1t is supposed that the amount
which will be required will be found
to be somewhere around forty
thousand dollars. Mr. johnson is
city engineer of Florence and is said
to be thoroughly competent man
for this class of work. Those who
are behind the movement to estab-
lish these systems of water works
and sewerage declare that they are
confident that the movement will go
through by safe margin. and they
are going ahead in their efforts to
have the movement become an estab-
lished fact.

Germany will certainly win the war.
1t has been right definitely ascertain
